Page 5 Action Plan: Part 2 of 2

12. Set up your Subscription Confirmed page. This is the web page that your subscribers will be sent to when they click on the confirmation link in the email they received. I wouldn't try to sell them again. Simply thank them for subscribing to your mailing list and give them a brief overview of the eCourse. I also include Adsense ads at the top and bottom. Once the subscriber reads the intro and overview, they have no direction to go in but they have the niche in mind. Having those Adsense ads there works perfectly for me.

13. Go to your autoresponder and get the html code for a subscription box. Insert this html in the appropriate place on your squeeze page.

14. Test out your system. Go to your squeeze page and make sure that it looks ok. Enter your name and email address in the html form. Make sure that your automatic set up is working correctly (meaning that you are being sent to the appropriate pages throughout the process). Make sure all of the pages look good, and that your Adsense ads are showing up. Also, click on ALL of your affiliate links to make sure that they are active and working. It will be a shame to find out two months down the road that you had a typo in an affiliate link and it has been giving your subscribers an error page the whole time. At this point, you have set up your system and have made sure that everything is working. Now, you are going to start marketing. I know that this is a little more involved, but you will be growing your list plus having the opportunity to generate affiliate and Adsense income.

15. Find ten long tail keywords that you think will be effective in article marketing. I use two criteria: having a low amount of optimized results in Google and also having greater than 300 searches per month. The term "optimized results" is simply the Google results you get when you place the long tail keyword in quotation marks in Google's search engine. The lower the number the better. But we also want long tail keywords that are being searched for. What use is having optimized results of 200 results when the keyword phrase is only getting searched 10 times per month? That's less than one potential reader per day. And not everyone who reads your article will go on to click on the link in your author resource box.

I choose phrases that have at least 300 searches per month. Using my keyword research tool, I can find keyword phrase that has low competition but high search requests. Repeat this process until you have 10 long tail keywords that you are going to target that you are confident will be responsive.

16. Write up an awesome author resource/bio box. This is an incredibly crucial part of the system that you need to spend some time on. Don't waste the efforts of your article writing by slapping down an ineffective bio box. This is a good one.

Consider the author resource box like an ultra-small salespage where your one goal is to get that reader to click on your link. You only have a few sentences to hook the reader with curiosity and then give him a powerful reason why he should click on your link. Look at several different arthur resource boxes of other people and you'll get some great ideas.

17. Pick your first long tail keyword, and write an article about it. Be sure to include the keyword phrase in the title. Writing articles is a pretty basic action. You start of by saying what the article is about (using your keyword phrase). Then you talk about the importance of the keyword phrase and how to improve on it. And then you end with a paragraph summarizing what you just wrote about. An easy solution is to create "tips" articles.

18. Now open up an account at www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com and submit your first article to both.

19. Repeat this process with the remaining 9 keyword dense articles. Be sure to submit the article when you complete it, before beginning to write the next article. Try to get all 10 written and submitted in one day. Why so many so quickly? Like I said before, most newbies tend to get discouraged prematurely because they don't see immediate results. By forcing yourself to write and submit the initial 10 in one shot (over 24 hours), you will see big results all at once. I can write a decent article in about 20 minutes, but most people (I believe) take a little longer. With practice, you'll get much faster.

20. Take a few days off from that topic. Place your focus something totally different. After writing 10 articles, you're going to want to take a break from it. Do this. You need to get refreshed.

21. After a couple of days, you are going to do research on another group of 10 long tail keywords. Use the exact same criteria as before (ie. low competition, high search requests).

22. Every day, make it a habit of writing and submitting at least one new keyword dense article. Somedays you will do two, or three articles, but always make sure you get at least one done. It should take you no more than an hour a day. Whenever you run out of keywords, develop a new group of 10.

After a month's time you will have at least 40 articles floating about (your 10 initial articles plus the minimum of one a day thereafter). You should be getting a fair amount of traffic to your squeeze page. My squeeze pages convert between 15-40% of website visitors. Yours will probably do the same. You should start to see the gradual increase in daily Adsense income generated.

You will also get a growing number of affiliate product sales as your subscribers go through the series of autoresponder messages you are sending them. At this point, you should have a consistent and growing source of income. If you keep writing and submitting articles the proper way, you should maintain or further grow your monthly income.

2008-10-22T09:42:00.000-07:00

1. Download the most valuable software that everyone should have. Roboform is available as a 30 day free trial offer, but you can still download the older version of the roboform that is completely free. Go into your Create your identity and fill enter your information. Besure that your information is correct. Roboform will autofill any forms, logins, even applications over the web. It will remember your logins and even generate passwords for you. I can't live without Roboform. Go into your search engine and download an older version that is still free. If you can't find it, then I'll give you a copy of the Roboform application.

Now, use your roboform to open following accounts:
ymail account
gmail account
Google Adsense
Blog account at blogger.com or hubpages.com or other places
It sounds like alot to do but with a roboform, it's very quick and easy.

2. Pick three affiliate products to promote from the clickbank market place. I usually visit all the salespage and see which ones affects me the most. Get the affiliate url for each products and bookmark it somewhere. You are now ready to get paid.

3. Sign up with Patterns4success to get all of these for just $20 a month:

domain name registration

webhosting account

up to ten customized email accounts

1,000 free leads (customers!)

autoresponder

mass mailer

ad blaster

You also get monthly residual income from this.

.
4. Download a copy of Nvu at www.nvu.com or coffee cup html editor. It's a free html editor that you will need to create and edit your web pages. Now, create your main page.

5. Create your newsletter in your website. Be sure to put in your Google Adword codes on top, middle and on the bottom of the pages.

6. Create a squeeze page. The goal of this page is to capture the names and email addresses of your website visitors. There are many free templates that you can simply modify to your niche. In your copy, tell the visitor that they can sign up free for your free report.

7. Copy you free report and using nvu and a template, create your free report in html format and upload it to your website using your control panel. Include Adsense ads at the top, bottom (and center if the particular lesson is long enough).

8. Remember that you will be promoting one affiliate product per opportunity review, just make sure to promote a good review since you don't want to be responsible for promoting a bad product.

9. Set up your autoresponder in Pattern4success website. I use and recommend this autoresponder as they attach no advertisement in their emails like other free autoresponder service. I highly recommend that you don't go the free route with other companies when getting an autoresponder.

There are two reasons why: Because of the rampant use of using free autoresponders for spam activities, many free autoresponders are blacklisted. What this means to you is that your delivery rates will be very poor. Another reason why you should use pattern4success autoresponder and not other free autoresponder is because when you get do get tired of your horrible delivery rates and want to go to a paid autoresponder, you will have to get all of your current subscribers to double opt in AGAIN to your autoresponder's new list. And as many people who have done it have found out, you will lose a large percentage of your mailing list. You won't have this problem as you already have 1,000 people that you will be emailing to and they will be in your sales funnel.

10. Set up your Confirmation email in the autoresponder. Be sure to thank them for enrolling. Then set your days to zero on your confirmation email and in Process page. This is the web page that the visitor gets sent to when they submit their name and email address. Create and upload a web page to your site that says something like, "Thank you for submitting your name and address. Your subscription request is being processed and you will receive a confirmation email in a few minutes.

11. Set up your One Time Offer page (OTO): In the meantime, let me tell you about this product that I recently found that you may be interested in. It's called "blab blab blab" and you can find out more here..." You will set the destination of this page in your autoresponder set up.

Page 3 Purpose of Content Riches

2008-10-22T09:37:00.000-07:00

We will be using Income Opportunity Review newsltter to promote our articles and we are using the arthur's resource links to expose your website but where Content Riches (herein called CR) is different from a system featured on your free report is that instead of showing clickbank affiliate, you will be promoting your own CR link. To put it another way, we want to promote a FREE report to get people into our newsletter subscription list.

When people are subscribed into your mailing list, you can market these people with multiple products, over and over again for as long as they are in your mailing list. With the free report system, you get just one shot at our readers and when they click off your affiliate page, they're gone forever. Now, instead of our readers opting into a mailing list, they will be subscribing for our newsletter where we will be featuring what else? Your articles on different income opportunities that you have previously submitted.

A second twist with this program is this. When you submit your articles to the article bank, you will copy and paste that article to your blog. You don't have a blog? No problem. Get one from either: www.hubpages.com or www.blogger.com I'll explain more about blogging a little later.

Subscribers hates mailing list but they love newsletters that reviews and rates popular income opportunities so our subscribers tends to stay in the mailing list longer than the conventional sales list. We will send a quick short email periodically to inform the subscribers of the latest newsletter. When they click the link, they will go into one of your newsletter on your website. It will feature Google Adwards all over the place, flashing content related advertising and you will get like 60% of the sale when your subscribers click. Cool huh?

Anyway, your newsletter will feature income opportunity review with your clickbank affiliate link like you did with $100 a day system. You will have a chance to download your website template like mine and you can see how I set up the newsletter page.

The beauty of the system is this. You see, people don't use internet to make purchases first. People primarily use internet to research like price shopping or feature comparison. So, people are naturally not enamorated with sales pitch or opt-in list. Just look around the internet. People are giving away free this and free that to get people's name and email addresses. We will go a different route. Instead, we will be providing a service by offering these newsletter so we won't run into a "wall" of rejection.

As for autoresponders, I don't even setup and follow up messages because everyone gets newsletter at the same time. You see how easy this system is. I email every ten days. That's it. Any more than that and people will opt out.
So, that's the main idea. Enough talking already. Now, you will walk the talk. Here is the step by step action plan.

Page 2 Quick Outline of Content Riches System

2008-10-22T09:25:00.000-07:00

Ok, lets outline the program here.

Here is a simple diagram which shows the customer flow.

Create a website with a webform to optin your visitors for a FREE report.

Submit your article to article directories with your link to a FREE report.

You will then paste your article onto your blog.

You will then paste your article into your newsletter web pages.

Customers read our opportunity review articles and clicks into your arthur resource box where they click through the link.

Customers enters a FREE report page where they sign up. They enter your opt-in list (ahem, subscription) for your Income Opportunity Review newsletter. Your newsletter pages will be surrounded by your adward ads, and a link to your CWR sales page.

When your subscriber clicks to the CWR sales page, they will sign up under your Patterns4success affiliate account with your Global Domains International affiliate link. This person will now get their own domain name, webhosting, free leads and autoresponder, mass mailer, global ad blaster, etc for just twenty dollars a month.

This person is now under your downline and you'll get your monthly residual income as well.

You can give this person a copy of this blog content and hopefully will get going with their program.

Twice a week, you will ping your article pages in your blog to Google, Yahoo and MSN. This will get your blog to go up in the search engine. Since all your article pages have back links to your CWR website, along with all the articles out there that have back links to your website, your website will slingshot to a very high page ranking. This means more traffic.

Subscribers will be in your sales funnel, just continue to email them periodically until they sign up or until they unsubscribe.

This is the cycle. If you are confused right now, don't worry about it. You will get this down. The hardest part is writing your article daily and submitting to the directories and pasting it to your newsletter web pages and your blog pages.
