Niche website marketing: Find a great SEO keyword research tool!

So if you want to make money, what is the best way to sell online? Well I am not an expert yet but I am following an in-depth training at Wealthy Affiliate, which is a website where you can learn how to do niche website marketing. This involves being trained to set up your very own niche website and learning how to optimize it, get traffic and get affiliate programs which you can join so you can sell their products. And that can be anything from physical products (such as TripleClicks) to services (such as SFI) and training.  Once you have your niche website you just post regularly with interesting and true content (product reviews work really well, click HERE for an example) and populate the post with text links, banners and ads. You can advertise to get the website under people's attention, you can use the social media to promote your website, and you can actually buy traffic to your website (I know you can do this at SFI, you have to become a free member though. Learn more...) Numerous possibilities and at most affiliate sites there is some kind of forum or community which will help you with any technical question you may have.

You do not necessarily have to invest money. As a matter of fact many affiliate programs have a free starter program so you can test the waters, so to say. Both Wealthy Affiliate and SFI have a free joining program and you are never required to invest money, contrary to a lot of programs where you need to pay an upfront investment.

One of the most important tools Wealthy Affiliate offers is a program called Jaaxy. When you join as a free member, you get access to JaaxyLite, which allows you a limited number of searches. As a premium member you have unlimited searches and I use it constantly to find good keywords, not only for new posts but also to update the titles and headings and tags for my old posts to make them more attractive. So how does this work? You simply enter a keyword to a subject you are interested in writing about (example: how to optimize SEO for my blog) and Jaaxy will tell you how much traffic there is to this keyword, how often people type it in in browsers (not only Google) and finally, how much competition you have.

There is a training available on Wealthy Affiliate just for Jaaxy, although it is not at all difficult. It will give you the skinny on your keyword and will give you a number of suggested alternatives. You try out some varieties of your keyword and will come up with one or more variants which have good traffic and not too much competition, and you make sure you incorporate these in your posts and blogs. I keep a list of researched keywords with their figures and highlight them when I have used them. I find this one of the most useful things about WA, together with the step-by-step training on how to set up your website. Just keep posting regularly and start another one if you feel you have the time.

This month's bestseller: commissions from other people selling

Every month I look through my statistics to see where my income is coming from. This month my main income stream is from ECAs (E-commerce affiliates). How does this even work?
I go around looking for mom & pop stores. I approach them with the idea of selling online. I explain that it is entirely free, they get a FREE website for their store, they just have to load up pictures and info on their products and off you go. People order your product, they pay TripleClicks, you send the order and receive your money from TripleClicks.

The beauty of it is - and this is the reason why anyone selling a product or service should join - that there are millions of affiliates like me over the whole world who make their income promoting and selling products. So the ECA doesn't have to do any marketing, the affiliates will do that. Any affiliate can promote any product, but most affiliates choose niche markets and target their promotion and selling.




For me the point is that if I am the one referring (bringing in) the ECA I make commission on everything they sell - for life.  And this is precisely what has brought me most income in the month of December 2017. Not surprising maybe as lots of people buy Christmas gifts online.



Not a TripleClicks Member? It's FREE, Learn more about the many benefits HERE.

I actually have not gone out looking for stores for quite a long time. Instead, I advertise. I have this list of thousands of websites where you can advertise for free. And then I have thought of a new idea: since I speak so many languages I should target the non-English speaking markets as well. Haven't done that yet.




To conclude: if you want to make money working from home, becoming either an ECA (if you have something to sell) or an affiliate at SFI is not a bad start. You don't have to give up your job (until you want to), just start it as a sideline.

Making money from home selling online: how I sell TC products

It is not easy making money online. However it is possible and here I would like to tell you how I do it. I am not making a fortune yet, but I am selling, and you can too! It works like this.




I have a website which is only about one method of selling online and that is SFI, where I have been an affiliate for 2 years now. The website is this: http://topcat.sfiprofitsnetwork.com/ This website is particularly aimed (like this blog) at people who are interested in selling online and/or working from home. Rather than just having the website and waiting for people to stumble over it I buy traffic. There are many ECA's (companies selling their products at TripleClicks) that sell traffic.

It does not cost very much, I often use the points that I automatically gather by being active on the website so it is not costing me any cash. I generally get 5-10 signups per 1000 visitors. That may not seem like much, but if they turn out to be active I do not need more. Unfortunately most people that sign up are inactive or turn inactive after a short while when it turns out it is not a Get Rich Quick Scheme but a genuine business. However in this way I have gathered a team of about 300 people by now. Getting team members that are selling TripleClicks products is one way of getting income, because I get commission on what they sell. Again, not much, but it adds up.

Then I have another source of income: direct commission. For this I have 2 other blogs: topcat2015.blogspot.se, and topcat66blog.wordpress.com. On the first one I write about health & fitness and the other one is a travel blog. Alongside the posts I have clickable banners for TC products that are relevant to the subject and that I like.

About patience, perseverance and earning commissions selling online successfully

I just needed to post this because I have just received my October commissions. Yes, the money that  I earned. Maybe it will help you who reads this.




I have tried out a number of online programs and never before had any success with it. When I started at SFI I decided to give it a year, since I actually read all the training and instructions which you get for free and quickly learned it was not a Get Rich Quick Scheme.

After a year I had made about as much money as two months' worth of standing order, I had reinvested whatever I earned in the business and I was on the verge of giving up. However I decided I had not tried all possible approaches and I was receiving a steady stream of signups from this blog that you are reading now. So I decided to give it another year. And lo and behold! In the exact month that I was 1 year at SFI I got this fantastic email: "Your commissions over the month August". For the first time I had actually made and received money.



Since then I have received such an email EVERY MONTH and the amount is higher every month. Seriously, do you think I am giving up now? Of course not.

If you are thinking of signing up, do me a favor and give it at least a year. If you do not have half an hour a day to put into your new business don't even start. Yes, I know, signing up is free and so it never hurts. But do take it seriously if you do it at all.

Successful online marketing: the power of duplication

Hi!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the crux of the matter in online selling is of course selling products. The point is, not everyone is good at that. Personally I am not very good at it and I know it. But there is another solution and this is where I have found SFI to be very helpful. As an affiliate I can gather a team under me, and when they are selling products, I earn a small share of the profit. As a matter of fact when I did an analysis not so long ago of where I make the most money it is actually from commissions that my team is earning. I have tried advertising and though I have compiled a list of free advertising sites that work, it is not my main income.


My team currently consists of almost 300 PSAs and CSAs (Personally Sponsored Affiliates and Co-sponsored affiliates). I have about twice as many CSAs as PSAs, which makes the revenue from both roughly equal because I get a smaller share of the CSA commissions. So how do you get a team?



1. I have obtained a number through personal recruitment: sometimes I go to the local job center and hand out folders; people coming there are usually looking for a job. This gives me around 10 interested prospects per invested hour and only costs time.

2. Then I get new signups from this blog and a website I have about SFI. Apart from "normal" traffic I now and then buy traffic from one of the E-commerce Associates at TripleClicks. I can even use my TCredits and Member Reward Points (these I gather by being active on the website, so basically this means I can buy free traffic) to buy traffic. If I buy traffic outright I earn Versapoints. If I use TCredits or MRPs I don't.

3. You can actually buy signups at TripleClicks, these are obtained through SFI's own advertisements, but there are also a number of ECAs that obtain and sell their own signups through advertising. The cost of these is generally between $1 and $2.50 per signup. But since the chance that they are actually active is not so great, I find it more cost-effective to buy traffic. Over the past year the cost per new signup on average has been around 40 cents for me.

4. Many people obtain new affiliates through the social media. I am not at all good at that, but others are. Especially on Facebook, I understand. Some also involve their family and friends. This is actually a good strategy as there is a greater chance that they will be active.



5. A good strategy is to win PSAs and CSAs at auctions. You need to have the time to sit and observe the auctions. I know one in my upline who regularly wins new affiliates this way (apart from laptops and other gadgets).

5. There is a traffic exchange that I use on which I advertise for free. I have to watch ads for 15 seconds and then I get credits. Once I have enough credits I can place an advertisement myself. The disadvantage is that most people do like me: they only watch the banners to get credits. However, they are obviously interested in making money online, and since the program is free, they might give it a try. This Traffic Exchange gives me the occasional signup.

6. And then there is the obvious other possibility: advertising, on websites as well as on Google communities, in your local supermarket and gym and anywhere there is a bulletin board. And advertising on TV, radio, in papers etc.

Making money by marketing the Christmas season

If you have just started or are curious about working online from home and want to know how to be successful I have a few tips for you. I am an affiliate at SFI (Strong Future International) and one of the ways I make money is by using the special times of the year: Valentine, Christmas, Mother's day etc. All the tips here are actually usable for any special occasion.



* Start preparing early for the upcoming holiday season; in November many people will already have done their shopping to avoid long lines. Start now.

* Put product reviews on your blogs of products that you yourself or people you know have bought at TripleClicks (but make sure that they are honest reviews!) and put these on your blogs and your social media. To give you an example: I have just bought this item at TripleClicks as a gift. If I buy this here in Sweden where I live I could never get any watch for under 20 US$. So I am actually saving money by buying it at TripleClicks, which is of course why I did it.

Selling online: where I get most of my commissions from

I've been on vacation for a while, but now I am back on track and thought I would find out and write a post on how I earn my commissions. I have been doing this for almost a year now and I have tried out all the different ways of earning money with SFI and here is how I get most of my earnings (and believe me, it is not as all as I expected :)):

1. The TripleClicks Executive Pool, strange enough. This I only receive in those months that I make Team Leader, which again is coupled to how many VPs I have made, which is coupled to all activities that I do at SFI. The amount of VPs I have determines how much I earn of this pool. Since I have a standing order (SO) which automatically makes me EA I earn 1500 VP at least and then about 360 from doing my dailies; if I decide to make Bronze Team Leader (for various perks such as extra CSAs added to my team) I often buy traffic to this blog and my website, so then I come up to 3000 VP a month. How much this amounts to in cash depends on the size of the pool and the number of VPs we altogether have as affiliates.



2. CSAs commissions; or indirect commissions. These come from activities/sales made by my CSAs (co-sponsored affiliates; I am not their main sponsor). Incredible that this is my second largest source of income.

3. Milestone Shares: this is a bonus program in which I receive extra shares from the TripleClicks Executive Pool coupled to the amount of VPs I earn. I only receive these when I make Team Leader. In order to make Team Leader in a month, I need to make 3000 VPs and sponsor at least 5 affiliates (I have about 400 so that is no problem).

4. Direct commissions: this is from sales at TripleClicks. As for income, this actually comes only in the 4th place! I do hope that I will be able to increase this though, by selling more. I am particularly keen on selling the PrivacyMaxx program, because of the commission volume and the chance that it will be a repeat order after 1/2/3 years.



I have had no income yet from:
- ECA referral, although I now have a number of PRMs (personally referred members) of which I hope some will become active ECAs. If they start selling, I start earning.
- PSA activity, meaning my direct sponsored affiliates; none of the 25 I have are active. These are therefore people that sign up thinking they have found a get-rich-quick scheme, look around a bit and then lose interest. If you plan on signing up, give it at least a year!
- The Pay per Action program; this means that you earn up to $10 if you can come up with signups that are active. However I have looked at the rules for this and decided I would rather keep them to myself if they are active, because that will potentially give me more income.

Earn money working from home: other websites that DO work for you (other than SFI)

Right now I have my focus on SFI as you can clearly see from this blog. I believe it is going to make me a nice lifelong income. Right now I am earning some money with it, but not big money. I believe that in order to build up an honest business you usually have to invest a lot of time and effort in it. I have had my own business built up from scratch before, and that is the honest truth for most of us normal people. There are some lucky souls (or maybe they are just so incredibly good) that skyrocket immediately with their newfound businesses, and all luck to them. For most of us it takes longer.



However, before joining SFI I have tried out other businesses, and although I tried two systems that were kind of built up in the same way, as in focusing on both selling products and building up a team under you that does the same, they did not work for me. One of these was a Greens liquid thing in which you had to buy like $120 every month in "healthy" products yourself and try to find other people under you to do the same (with a large upfront investment of I think around $1200 at the time), and the other one was ItWorks! Wraps. I know there are people out there making lots of money with it, but I lost a lot of money with it and the wonderful wraps never worked on me or any other test subject so I am still stuck with like a dozen of them, and to keep up your distributorship you need to invest quite a lot in the beginning for the Newbie Package and then for the maintenance of your website and distributorship it was also a lot of money every month which you have to compensate with sales (which I never did).

Then there is Wealthy Affiliate, which I just recently joined and which is something which will take time to build up, so I can't say much about it yet but I am very positive that it will work.
But there are two websites out there that actually did work in a way, and are still providing me with job opportunities. One is completely free and is actually a social media: LinkedIn. I have had several job opportunities via my contacts. I keep this one "holy" and only for serious stuff. It is only today that I have added two of my blogs to my profile (my Health & Fitness blog: topcat2015.blogspot.se and my travel blog: topcat66blog.wordpress.com). 

The other one is a paid one but it is for once worth its pay and it is called People Per Hour. (peopleperhour.com) If you are able to freelance in absolutely anything, DO pay the one-time fee, I think it was $29, and you will actually have job offers all the time. They are also quite serious about feedback and status in the sense of how good you have performed for customers. Via them, I found a company that I do freelance translations for and we have a long-standing relationship of at least 5 years now in which I have translated hundreds of documents for them. And they pay promptly on the 1st of each month. I still get offered either long-time or one-time translation work from other companies on my email via this site though I have not even visited it in 3 years. Since I am working full-time at the moment I cannot take these but it is telling that they regularly ask. There is another (paid) website called freelancer.com, which also works like this, but they take in general much lower rates for everything. 

There is another site called FiveRR, where people offer their (oftenonline) skills for sale for $5, which I have not visited yet but I have heard really good things about it. There are reviews and rankings of the persons offering their skills. I don't think you  need to pay to join. If you are able to provide, for instance, "likes" to somebody's Facebook site, or visitors, or are able to answer for a small company's Facebook site (post likes and so on) you might be in business. 

I have just joined a site called Paidsocialmediajobs where you apparently can obtain jobs like that, both regular jobs and one-time projects. I have not had the time yet to truly look at it but I will certainly post an update here when I have or when I have found something else that works. There are lots of yous out there that, like me, are looking for opportunities to make money and I think we should help each other when we can.

How to be successful making money online: product reviews

One of the ways in which you can make online marketing work for you is by posting product reviews. People will actually rather read a review than an ad, because you know that the ad is promotion whereas the review hopefully is for real. I visit the Forum at SFI every day and the people who really are earning money tell us that one of the best ways of getting products sold is actually buying them and writing a review. Want to try it out? Ask me about a FREE $12 Gift Certificate which you can redeem at TripleClicks and use to buy any product you want!


I did that. I have a health & fitness blog and I have a product review on it about a sciatica acupressure pad, and it is actually visited regularly. No one has bought it yet, but then my review was honest-not very positive.



If I now come up with a review which is very positive, people will be more likely to believe me. So I try to find products that I can honestly be enthusiastic about. I am currently testing out some products that I hope will really work, such as a slimming cream (I do not need to lose weight but I have this stubborn jelly belly).

The point is: it works! People DO read reviews! I am absolutely planning to write more product reviews. You can also post product reviews on forums and other websites or leave it as a comment on Youtube or whatever, there are many ways you can use this as a "sneaky ad".


However, I have one very strong recommendation: write a serious and honest product review. An ad trying to pose as a review will have that "fake smell" and you will not make any sales from it. An ad is an ad and should say that it is an ad. A product review is an entirely different matter. Of course you can be very positive about a product, but then you have to really think it is a good product. You don't even have to write your own review if you haven't bought the product: find some honest reviews on the net and use these with proper sourcing. Add your own conclusion based on the reviews you found. It is less enticing than a review from a person that actually uses the product, though. I mean, you want somebody to buy something you are not buying yourself......hmmmm.

There are even companies that send well-known popular bloggers free products in the hope that they will write a review about it. Who knows, you might become one of them!

Rules of success #6; how to make money online at SFI: winning starts with beginning and FOCUS

In this series of posts about the rules of success in online marketing I am focusing on getting started and FOCUS.


The only way you will ever be successful at anything is by starting. If you don't get started nothing will happen. So do not put off things. One of the great things about working from home is that you are free to decide when to work. The danger is that this freedom leads you to doing nothing...or other things than making your business thrive. For it is YOUR business. I am talking about online marketing/affiliate programmes, particularly SFI because that is the first one that worked for me. But it takes some time and effort.

Personal experience: in the first month at SFI, I did my training and reading. There is lots of free training stuff at SFI. After a month I wondered why nothing was happening. I was logging in and making my VP points and that was it. Finally I realized that in order for stomething to start happening I needed to start DOING something. There is only actually one way to earn money and that is by SELLING something, goods or services. If you aren't good at selling, you can build up a team that does it for you. That is the simple basics of SFI and many other online marketing programmes. The different thing about SFI is that there is so much more material and training available, (for free) and that there are many ways in which SFI provides free help, and that you are never required to invest in anything (I currently have an affiliate that is not investing a cent because she cannot, and is still building up her business, albeit slowly).

But the plain simple thing remains that you got to get started. Start advertising. Start approaching small businesses that might be interested in selling online. Start putting up flyers at your local supermarket, your gym. Whatever you can think of doing, start doing it! Don't wait for anybody else to do it for you!







 Another thing that makes people succesful is FOCUS. Anybody who has ever become rich has beeen a person focused on getting there (unless you have the fantastic luck to be born rich), so do not let yourself get distracted by other stuff. Be always on the lookout for opportunities to go forward. Make plans. If they don't work adapt them or make new plans. WORK. But work with focus, not randomly. This means having realistic goals, putting them up somewhere where you can see them, and work every day to achieve them. Take little steps rather than big ones, at least until you can see where you're going. In my experience it takes hard work and especially perseverance to get what you want. Remember: those who quit won't win, and winners are the ones who never quit. (I don't know whose quote this is, but it's a winner!

One of the main problems with new affiliates is that they are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. While I do not believe in those at all, SFI certainly is not one of those. It is simply a matter of building up your own business, and that takes time and effort. So I am not making any unrealistic promises. I am not saying that you will earn so much in a week. Some may, but most won't. For most it takes at least some months before you start earning any money. But that is better than most self-starters manage... we always hear about the success stories, but the truth is that 80% of all new started businesses have disappeared after 5 years. It is only a few that survive.....because they persist. And build. And work. And dream. And succeed!

Rules of success #5: How to earn money online at SFI: goal-setting and planning

95% of all people never take the time to set goals. Why? Takes too much time. Guess who the other 5% are? The successful ones. Succesful people set goals and they make sure they reach them. One of the most powerful tools is actually to set goals. Studies show that students that set goals for themselves generally end up in the top percent of their class.

If you think of the people that you know are succesful you will probably come up with the following adjective:

Purposeful (EN). Målmedveten (SW). Doelbewust (NL). Util (SP). In the other languages that I speak it is a word that creates a direction. You set a goal and that means you are moving in that direction, one step at a time. Very powerful: once you have set a goal, print it out and hang it somewhere you can see it every day. Sounds childish, but it really works, it has been proven scientifically. You can also read it aloud to yourself. For this to work though, you have to formulate it as something you have already accomplished. Not as something you wish, not as something you are someday going to obtain. "I am earning $1000 a month in December 2018." Not "I am going to be rich someday."



One of my favorite tabs in the SFI website is exactly that Goals tab. In order to earn the day's point, you have to record what you actually did today (or are planning to do) in order to reach your goals. This always sets me to thinking what I am actually DOING towards obtaining my goals. And what is it I actually want out of life? I know. I want to be rich, not famous. I want to be doing things I like in order to get rich. And most of all I want to be happy and healthy. OK. So far so good. Now I have to think what I am actually going to DO to reach all that. Because if I don't think my life is that good right now, I have to start doing something about it...life is never going to do it for me!


This gets me to the second important point. Planning. You have to have a plan. A plan is a series of connected actions that will lead you to a predestined goal. If you want to be succesful in online marketing you have to approach it as you would any business. You have to make a business plan. It may be quite rudimentary at first, just the skeleton, and you "flesh it out" as you go along. You may change it as you find out what works and what does not. But if you do not make any kind of planning you are probably not likely to succeed.

The first part, the goal-setting, is made easy for you at SFI, because you have to set/review your monthly goals and then record your daily actions to reach your goals. The planning part however is entirely yours. What are you good at? Are you a person with a large social network? Then trying to recruit other affiliates and selling TripleClicks products via your network might be the first item in your planning. If you are not so good in social networking but good at the internet, online advertising might be your thing. I myself have a good business network from my earlier own company. So my main thing is approaching small companies to sell via the TripleClicks website. It takes more time and patience than recruiting affiliates, but it is rewarding since any E-Commerce Associate that is actually selling will give me income for the rest of my life.



That is what residual income is about. Generating income that will just last and last into the future. It takes time and effort to set up, but it will pay off in the end.

I would advise to try all the six methods of earning money and seeing what fits your personality best. The most important thing is you have to see this as a serious business. Take the first 6-12 months as your training period. Things will start happening but you have to work at it every day, just like in every other serious business. Those people that are earning a good income at SFI have not gotten there overnight. All of them have set goals and have planned how to obtain those goals. Then, they have actually gone out and done the things they put in their planning. Very few people earn serious money without setting goals and without planning how to reach them.

How to earn money working online at SFI #4

According to SFI itself, the most important way to earn money is by duplication.

What does that mean?

Very simply, recruiting other people to do the same thing you are doing, and hopefully better. When you "bring in" a new affiliate under you, and that person either buys stuff from TripleClicks (such as TCredits to bid on the auctions or to play the games) or gets other people to do so, you earn money. Since that person logically also wants to earn money, they will  do their best to use all the six ways to earn money.


Does that make you rich while you are sleeping? Of course not.

Now let us be honest here, for it sounds fantastic, and it does work, but as I said before this is not a Get-Rich-Quick scheme. You have to have some patience for this programme to start working.


How do you recruit other affiliates? There are basically 2 methods:
1. Your "warm market": friends, family, colleagues. Anyone who would like to generate some extra income. Remember, SFI does not require you to do any investment.
2. The cold world out there: mostly reached by advertising. I bought a list of 4000 free advertising websites, basically for free because I used Member Reward Points I earned on SFIs website. Most of them didn't give much traffic but I have found one that has really jump-started traffic to my blogs. If you want to know about that:

If you have a website and you are selling something, sign up. It is free, although they keep bothering you to update to a paid premium membership, but it really increases traffic by tenfolds in just days (how valuable traffic I still have to find out).



So to get back to the subject, how does this recruiting other affiliates work in practice? It differs greatly between persons.

I will give you my personal example. I have been at SFI in five months now, and I am finally generating some income. My team consists today of  61 personally sponsored affiliates and then there are the 83 Co-sponsored affiliates where I am only party sponsoring; I am earning much less on them but I am maybe not doing any work if they have an active sponsor. Of these, two of my PSAs are slightly active; some of them were active in the beginning but gave up when they realized that this is a serious business, not a  Get-Rich-Quick scheme. My CSAs are doing better: 3 of them are very active and working towards building their business. So I am getting some income from my team, but not yet a lot in $$$$. However, SFI has recently started a new programme, which is going to be fabulous for me: I am going to earn CSAs for a lot of actions that I have been taking, and that is going to give me a lot of chances to earn more money.




I have had an own business before, and it took years before it started to generate some profit. Here I am already seeing possibilities for profit in a couple of months.

Given all the free training and marketing methods and marketing aids and programmes SFI is giving us, I think that it is by far the best method I have ever seen. Having said that, it is not going to do that overnight, and I do not want to give anyone joining SI that impression. If you join, you have to be serious about building up your own business.
