1. What 5 tools do you use now that you wish you had known about when you started ?
2. Wordpress, or how do you build your sites?
3.
 


That statement speaks volumes.

The method im doing isnt easy. Im going for highley comeptive keywords. 5000+ searchs a month terms that are not easy to jump into. But still possible if you have the right mindset.

I have no idea what your saying. Im dont want to be looked at as a noob. I have read many books on SEO. Im not lazy and i work pretty much each day to increase my page rank.

I have never tried to create a website then get it ranked in a month. To get ranked faster i do.

-Blog commenting
-Linking from other websites
-Onlywire
-Ping O Matic
-Submit a sitemap
-Drive a little bit of traffic from reddit or digg.
-LinkBait

I have a formula and im always messing with it. Im sure im close to cracking the code. I wont give up until i do it. Im to far in now to give up.

I would love to get a straight answer rather then belittling me.
 
When approaching a niche how do you decide what path to take: affiliate, dropshipping, wholesaling, and how to make sure you setup your network correctly to correlate with these decisions.

(Tryin' to keep you busy, mofucka)

This one gets the business model gears turning. So, I think a good case study to use here would be a solar panel/solar power business that is going to be both online and offline (which is fucking ideal, ya dig?) I've always wanted to take on one of the those products but shit gets over-extended.

With the ideal niche, e.g. something like solar panels, we will be blending all 3 paths into the model.

1.) Affiliate (we will build out an affiliate program to have other OG's hustle our products) & we will sell services/products that it would be unprofitable to dropship/stock/wholesale as affiliates of solar panel/solar product distributors. We will collect consumer info and sell that shit on a CPL basis if we can't turn it into a sale in-house.

2.) Dropshipping (dropshit the products that are less lucrative/liquid to stock to alleviate risk)

3.) Wholesaling (stock, buy in bulk and slang the products that are most liquid,meaning the products that are likely to sell most rapidly).

Summary

The ideal niche will be both online and offline. This is the key to longevity in this biz in my opinion. I don't trust big G.

1.) {Content Boss,TheBestSpinner,AMA} + {Xrumer,SENuke,Cladgenius} + {Domain Tools,PPC Coach,PPV/CPV Coach} + {PacketFlip, Cloakfish} + {Wordpress} + {India}

2.) Depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. Some are free hand coded in php and some are wordpress.

What, exactly is the question. I answered it above in the reply to your post but it was not formatted correctly. Look in the quote box.
 
I started a new thread about this before I saw this post, but I'll paste the question here anyway...

If I have a site about, for example, pearl earrings, how many different affiliate merchants should I promote on the site? There are probably at least 10 different affiliates programs for different stores that I could promote, but for best results, whats the best number of merchants to promote (as recommended stores, or whatever)?

How are you building the site out? Are you targeting every type of pearl earring or what? If so, then you should build out a single page for each product. Go ahead and promote all of the products on different pages and see which one converts best. It is hard to give advice when I do not know what you are going for. Be more specific.

Ask your affiliate manager about the conversion rate for each offer. Payouts are important but conversion rates are key.
 
When selecting which product or offer to promote, what selection criteria do you use to choose the one you will market?
 
Where to go for best all-in-one coaching? PPC-coach?

I know I can find everything I need to know on WickedFire but things are all over the place and I don't know where to start.

Make landing page, test one that converts, PPC/SEO, make monies?

Introduction to SEO thread is a good place to start on WickedFire, it's where some of the best and greatest got going.

Yes, PPC/SEO makes monies. So does selling derivatives. You need to practice it for years, test and fail, test and fail and eventually build your self up. Shit doesn't happen overnight people!
 
When selecting which product or offer to promote, what selection criteria do you use to choose the one you will market?

Go with what you know best. If you are really into horse porn, market horse porn. It's inherently marketing so you better know what you're selling inside and out.

Forums are best, including this one. Success in this biz is directly correlated with experience.

Well, I have been targeting specific keywords and then building pages around those keywords. The way that I build the pages is in the format of a buying guide.

For example, a random keyword that I made up is "black tahitian pearl earrings." My page would be a buying guide for that type of earrings, with a section on the best places to buy them. That section has affiliate links to online stores that carry that type of earrings. I also include some specific product examples.

My first question was how many affiliate merchants should I include on the page, but I also have another question now: is this the best way to monetize my page? Or would another approach work better? I know that the only way to truly find out is to test, but I don't know if you have any experience with something like this already.

This is gold, thank you for this answer, and thanks BoFu for the question.


As to #1, I assume you're putting yourself into a 'broker' position between the service prov./ manufacturer and an ad network? the process would vaguely look something like this:

-contact manufacturer / service provider
-create affiliate contract
-create sales copy
-submit to networks
-OG hustle
-profit

or are you creating a whole affiliate program yourself with tracking, accounts payable, etc. and skipping the networks?

Also, do you have any advice on contracts of this nature with manufacturers / service providers? Any terms or phrasing that you include now, that you wish you had been adding in when you started?



Thanks for this thread, great idea btw, wish i'd noticed it earlier.
