SEO Affiliate Domination

When I think of the phrase "search engine marketing" I usually tend to think of the PPC (pay-per-click) side of SEO, which are the ads you see right above, below and on the sides of the organic search results. Anything in the organic search results I consider SEO (search engine optimization) because you're optimizing that content to rank highly. Where, on the other hand, with PPC, as long as you bid the most you'll show up #1. But, instead of just sharing what I consider to be the top search engine marketing courses, I'm going to share suggestions for courses on both search engine marketing and search engine optimization. Now, when it comes to what I consider a great course, you have to really evaluate what your goals are for taking the course. I will assume that most people reading this article work for themselves and are interested in this information so they can make more money, not so they can do enterprise SEO for a large company. Which is why I

In my experience duplicate content penalties are a complete myth. I've had success in spite of having duplicate content on the same domain. Heck, I've even made sales from entire sites that were complete duplicates. So, in this post I want to share a really simple strategy for using duplicate content to your advantage to help siphon valuable traffic from search engines. The first step is we're going to focus on targeting  long tail keywords . But not just one or two...a TON of them. The benefit of optimizing content for longer tail search phrases is that they're far less competitive to rank for, and there's more buyer intent. To find keyword suggestions you can use a free tool like  KeywordTool.io . I usually start with a root keyword like "teeth whitening". Once you have your list of keywords,  write a generic article  about that root keyword, and try to include and talk about several of the longer tail keywords you found from KeywordT

One of the easiest affiliate networks to get started with as a beginner affiliate marketer is  Clickbank . And one of the simplest methods for getting traction and sales quickly from promoting Clickbank products is by using  YouTube videos . Now, just making a video alone likely isn't going to result in you making consistent sales. You need to target the right keywords. Ideally you'd want to optimize your video filename, title and description for a long tail keyword. So, instead of crossing your fingers and hoping to get found for a video about "making money online"... Instead you would optimize your content to rank for a keyword like "clickbank autopilot system free". To get ideas and suggestions for long tail keywords to target, you can use a free tool like  KeywordTool.io  - just plug in a root keyword and it will spit out hundreds of related long tail search phrases that people are actually typing in to the search engines. Each of these

Everybody likes the idea of passive and residual income... But the thing that most people don't think about when they consider working for themselves is that they no longer have the comfort of a steady paycheck... Which means they have to re-create that paycheck. The good news is that this is relatively simple to do with the Internet. There's so many different ways to make money online but the one I want to focus on is  affiliate marketing . Affiliate marketing is kind of like being a salesperson. You market and promote other people's products and services and when people purchase that product using your referral link you earn a commission. The more sales you make, the more commissions you earn. And there's so many different  products and services you can promote . Even if you were to focus on a super tiny or obscure niche like "knitting for people over 60" that would most of the time be plenty enough to produce a comfortable full-time inco

There are a lot of myths and theories when it comes to the "best" linkbuilding strategies to get a website to rank. But in my opinion, experience and a lot of testing is going to give you the proper insights into what really works. However, I will share some tips based on what I generally do to boost the authority of my money sites. If it's a new domain I will typically start by sending a few high authority backlinks to the  root domain  with the anchor text either being the name of the site or the exact URL. To do this you either  buy your own expired domains  and point links from those domains to the sites you want to rank (creating your own private blog network). Or you can just buy high powered links from other sites like  The HOTH . After this I will start building some social bookmark and web 2.0 property links to the root domain as well as the inner pages. For the anchor text of the social bookmark links if it's to my homepage I'll just use

There are hundreds of solo ad vendors that exist... However, one of the most common types of  solo ads  are for people who are interested in business opportunities and making money online. But not all solo ad vendors are created equally. There's a lot of garbage sellers out there that will send you bogus clicks and then run with your money. So, I've compiled a list of legitimate solo ad vendors that offer affordable pricing and also allow you to scale pretty high.

One of the easiest and lowest cost methods to get started making money online is to teach simple courses on online course marketplaces like  Udemy . You don't need to have any special qualifications to publish courses on their platform and the only tools you really need are... A computer A quality microphone Some screen recording software For the computer I suggest a laptop, since they're more mobile. I use a  MacBook Pro . You don't have to go with a Mac, but I highly recommend them. This is going to be by far your most expensive investment. The next thing you will need is a quality external microphone. Most internal microphones aren't that high quality and Udemy is very strict on wanting their audio to be high quality. So, I use and recommend an inexpensive USB mic like the  Blue Yeti . The other tool you will need to buy is a screen recording software. If you're using a Mac then I recommend  ScreenFlow . And if you're using a PC

Although Google makes up for the majority of search engine and PPC traffic on the Internet, Bing still accounts for about a third of all search engine traffic, which is pretty significant. And the advantage of advertising with  Bing Ads  is that they're much more forgiving than AdWords as well as affiliate marketer friendly. Bing Ads allows affiliate marketers to  direct link  to their affiliate offers, which saves a step of creating a  custom landing page  for each offer you want to run. This makes Bing Ads an easier traffic source to get started with for newbies. Now, there are tons of different strategies out there when it comest to PPC (pay-per-click) and if you're really serious about mastering PPC and scaling then I would definitely recommend investing in a solid tracking software like  TrackingDesk . But in this post I want to give you one idea that can help you get started as an affiliate marketer when advertising on Bing Ads. With whatever product or offe

One of the simplest ways to get started with affiliate marketing is to  create your own website . However, you definitely don't need to have your own  custom domain name  and hosting in order to make money as an affiliate marketer. You can leverage existing platforms that already have traffic like... The Amazon Kindle marketplace  - You can create ebooks and sprinkle relevant affiliate links throughout the content. Start a YouTube channel  - Target specific keywords and siphon organic traffic to your videos from all the billions of visitors watching vides each day. You can then insert your affiliate links in the description of the YouTube videos. Create courses on platforms like Udemy and Skillshare  - You can add your affiliate links to the courses in various ways. Additionally, you can also run paid traffic to affiliate offers. Now, most traffic networks won't allow you to direct link to your affiliate offers ( Bing Ads  will though) So, you'll likely n

There are so many different platforms and solutions that exist for selling your own information product and creating your own membership site. So, what's the different between all of them and what makes  Kajabi  better than the rest? Well, many of the other platforms that exist for creating your own courses like  Teachable  are great for that one thing. Creating online courses. But what I really like about Kajabi is that, in my opinion, it is the best solution if you are searching for a tool that allows you to not only sell your digital information products but also give you a blogging platform for creating content. Now, Kajabi also does many other things like: Allows you to collect email addresses and send broadcasts to your leads and customers, basically replacing the need for an  autoresponder Design custom landing pages and sales pages for your products and offers And gives you the ability to create an affiliate program to allow others to promote and recommend y

Years ago I was suckered into an  Amway  pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called  HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri

I love being alive right now. In just the past couple years there have been so many companies and brands that have popped up that make having an amazing lifestyle possible... For a fraction of what it used to cost for the same luxuries. I don't know if you can relate to this but I love eating unique and delicious meals. Unfortunately, since I'm single, I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. And although services like  Instacart  exist for grocery delivery, it would be really nice if there was a convenient and affordable service that would deliver awesome meals to me each week. And mix it up each week so I'm not always eating the same stuff. Well, there actually is. And it's called  HelloFresh . HelloFresh is a meal kit delivery service that delivers delicious, pre-measured ingredients and simple, chef-made recipes to your doorstep every week. It's pretty awesome. And they have different plans based on your needs. So, it works out g

JVZoo  is an affiliate marketplace that allows you to both earn money by promoting other vendor's products as an affiliate as well as sell your own products, softwares and services as a JVZoo seller. In this post we're going to go over just how simple it is to earn money promoting other people's products as an affiliate on JVZoo. The first step is to  create a free JVZoo Affiliate account . Next, you'll want to  create a PayPal account  so you can get paid. Then, to learn about upcoming product launches you can visit a product launch calendar site like  MunchEye . From MunchEye you'll get an idea of what launches are coming up, so that you can plan ahead and have the best chance of success once the product goes live. This is a process called  launch jacking . All you're doing with launch jacking is taking advantage of a temporary spike in traffic and trying to scoop up as many sales and commissions as possible during that window of time. Since

When it comes to  WordPress Themes  there are an infinite sea of options to choose from. So, one question I get a lot from people just starting out is "What's the best WordPress theme?" Well, that's kind of subjective, however, I do like to try and at least give people some direction, rather than just sending them back on their way to try and figure it out on their own. Because, I understand when you're starting out you want to do things "right" and if you're not certain you're doing them right it might hold you back from doing anything at all. So, below are a handful of the top themes I like to use on my niche affiliate websites... Thrive Themes  - There are actually several themes as well as plugins in the Thrive Themes suite of products. So, if you can just pick one or you can subscribe to the Thrive Membership and get all their themes and products. If you're looking for a specific theme recommendation I like FocusBlog and Lux

Unfortunately SEO (search engine optimization) takes time. It sucks, but that's just how it works. Once organic traffic starts flowing to your website it's pretty passive and consistent moving forward, but getting to that point can sometimes be a slow process. Especially with a brand new website. So, if you're a seasoned affiliate marketer building  niche websites  regularly and want to increase the speed at which search engines find and start indexing your pages the way to do that is with a backlink indexing tool. And while there are several different backlink indexer softwares out there... In my experience from testing several of them, they just don't work. Period. Maybe they used to back in the day, but in my testing, they didn't index my sites AT ALL. However, there is one backlink indexer tool that I can recommend... It was created by successful internet marketers for online marketers... And it's called  Ghost Indexer . What I love
