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

buttonSo 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.

Start a successul online business: join the new FREE Rewardical program and get 25 tokens as a bonus.

Tired of all these bogus Internet opportunities? Here is a program that works. And it is FREE.

Moreover, SFI is giving away 25 free Rewardicals if you join for FREE.



What is a Rewardical? Well simply a Radical Reward.


These are cash value tokens that can buy:
1. BitCoin
2. Silver Bullion
3. Cash Gift Cards
4. Affiliates for your Downline
5. Much More


You'll get 25 Free for Signing up. You can then win thousands more
playing games, entering contests and signing up new affiliates.


Go to this link to learn more:


I have won auctions, Daily Grand, Daily Crown, T-time and games. I also earn Rewardicals
every day from my team and my referrals.

But it gets better. You match 10% of the winnings of anyone you refer to the program.


Not only that. If you can refer, say, your local supermarket, gas station or book store to join the
Rewardicals program you get 10% of all the Rewardicals they give away. It does not cost them
anything to join. They just need to pay for those members that do claim Rewardicals.
For them it is a loyalty program that will earn them customers. Moreover, SFI offers the first
1000 Rewardicals for FREE to new sellers. So they can try it out without any cost.
You earn Rewardicals anytime you shop. Win-win, right?


Go to this link to learn more:


I have over 5800 Rewardicals as of today. And here is Achariya.



If you were her sponsor you would win 10% from her winnings. The same for all new people you refer.
And if you refer sellers, whether real shops or online sellers, to Rewardical you will earn 10% of their
sales too. So why not give it a try? The program is entirely FREE to join.

A new way of earning online: the Rewardical program

I just opened my SFI home site to discover that I have, without doing anything in particular, earned 374 Rewardicals. What are these? They are a token that you earn upon shopping at stores (online or local) that offer them as a loyalty reward. Also we can apparently win them by participating in various activities around the SFI site, such as the famous penny auctions (where you can win items at a few % of the real price) and the games which I would normally do anyway.

Also I earn Rewardicals whenever someone on my team earns them, at a 10:1 ratio. Even better when I am earning money sleeping!



I am not entirely sure yet how this is going to work out as there are a lot of changes going on. But I feel it is going to open up a lot of opportunities. Especially for me, who has been earning a bit of money but not really mind-blowing, I think there might be more opportunities coming up.

For instance, we can earn Rewardicals shopping at our local supermarket. We just need to get them to go along with a program which for them is very easy, giving out a tiny sum just to those who are into the program. It is a loyalty program much like anywhere where you receive points anytime you shop, if you are a member.

The beautiful thing with Rewardicals, as I see it, is that you can redeem them  -as a free member- for silver, Bitcoin, or Gift certificates. You do not have to be an SFI member at all.




For SFI members like me, I can exchange Rewardicals for VPs, which means cash, or team members, which are very valuable to me as a source of income.

Does this sound confusing? Do you want to know more? Just email me at freeteecee66@gmail.com. I will try to explain. It is basically an affiliate program. You can sell products online and earn commission, or get your team (people who sign up under you) to sell and earn commission from them. There are so many products out there to sell: check out TripleClicks. Whether you are interested in gardening, jewelry, sports, pets, or anything else, you can find something you can sell- and earn commission on.

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.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SFI
"I am so thankful to have found SFI. After many attempts with online businesses, SFI is one that is working, and I am on the way to make money. Thank you SFI! "

New Year's resolution: what am I going to do to be more successful selling online

Happy New Year! May 2017 be your best year yet!

I generally do not make New Year's resolutions. If I decide I need to change something in my life, I do it on the spot. Why wait till next Monday, or next Year, to start doing something that will improve your life? Because generally you make resolutions because you want to improve your well-being and happiness, right? Even if it is in the long run.



But I have first made a review of what I have done so far in this business enterprise, because that is what it is, and come to the conclusion that it is not growing very fast because I am simply not doing very much. One of the problems I have, which I think most people will recognize, is that I am spreading myself too thin. I have my work, I have my family, I have SFI, and I have a lot of small and big things that I need to spend time on, and then there are the things that I feel I must do and do not get around to, such as applying for a better job, doing research for my-to-start-new-company, trying to find an agent for my book (I wrote a thriller, in English, but haven't found anyone who wants to publish it yet, whereas there is so much junk being published, it is unfair), writing more often, and selling my second-hand stuff. I just do not find the time.

So in order to improve my business here are my resolutions, for better or for worse (seven is my lucky number, so maybe it will help) :
  1. Make my book an e-book and sell it via SFI (yes, I can do that);
  2. Finding new ECA prospects online in Sweden;
  3. Making good marketing materials for said prospects;
  4. Finding a couple of hours a week to just sit and advertise;
  5. Invest in building out my team by buying traffic, by bidding more on auctions (I actually bid seriously on 5 auctions this week; 2 were over before my program kicked in, two I lost, but I also won one auction: 10 new affiliates) instead of hoarding my TCredits (which expire after a year anyway);
  6. Finding someone back home to search for ECAs there (more mom & pop stores than in Sweden);
  7. Find some good products to start selling via SFI, in other words, becoming an ECA myself.

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.

MLM Gateway - Helping network marketers build their business

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.

All the best in building your business!

Best online selling sites: what is working for me (and what not) my top-7

I have tried most marketing methods for selling online and I have also talked with other affiliates who are successful at this. As you see I have become an Amazon affiliate (at a much later time then when I posted this blog) and am selling their products as well:



I am new at this so I can't say whether it will work but I have high hopes.

According to most affiliates:

1. ADVERTISING is the key. In order to make money you have to advertise at least one hour every day. Personally I have spent a full week advertising like crazy and had not a single response. But I might have been doing it wrong. So I bought, with my Member Reward Points, so not investing any cash, a list of 2000 free advertising websites and 250 Google communities. When I tried out the list, out of the first 250 only 12 were actually functional free advertising sites, and most of them were specific for India. However I have to take the time to go through the rest of the list. A list of real, functional free ad websites is worth quite a lot, don't you think? Now to find the time to sit down and really advertise - for that is what I must do and am not doing. Update June 3rd: I have now gone through 500 of the list and actually advertised on 6 sites. What can you advertise for? For new affiliates and people who want to sell online. But also TripleClicks products. Literally anything. Books, gardening items, jewelry, fitness things, handbags, watches, kitchen utensils.   Example:

15.5 USD InStock


2. BUYING TRAFFIC. This works for me. I have invested $12 in a couple of thousand visitors, and the first 500 have already arrived the week I published this. My SFI blog now has more than 3000 pageviews, up from 100+. Better yet, I am receiving signups out of these: affiliates and PRMs. So this works. I am certainly going to do this again. Update April 17th, 2017: definitely the best go. Works fantastically for me. I have just this month added around 50 PSAs and 25 PRMs to my list.

3. BLOGGING. This blog and 2 others I have (topcat2015.blogspot.se and topcat66blog@wordpress.com) attract visitors and now and then a signup. The important thing is to have regular new good content, which is not always easy. I feel I have to tell the truth about how things are going for me and then it will attract people. It seems to work. This blog generates the most signups so far. I also have a website topcat.sfiprofitsnetwork.com which attracts some visitors by itself and I sometimes buy traffic for it.

4. PERSONAL RECRUITING. I have gone to the local government job market and grabbed everyone who came out, started a talk with them about online marketing and working from home. I have gotten a couple of PSAs (Personally Sponsored Affiliates, the people that fall under you in your team) that way. Unfortunately none of them has remained active because this is not a Get Rich Quick Scheme, which is what they were looking for; or maybe they just wanted a regular job.


5. FACEBOOK and other social media. According to most affiliates this works best. Not for me, but then, I am not at all adept at social media. I never post on FB except with SFI promotion. Same for Twitter. On LinkedIn I have put links to my blogs on my profile. I have no others. I have gotten some visitors to my blogs out of it, though.

6. APPROACHING PROSPECT ECAs. Personally stepping into a business and convincing people that they can sell online is something I sincerely believe must work. However I have not been lucky at it. I have approached the Chamber of Commerce in my home country and the Association for Small Businesses where I used to be secretary. They thought it was a marvelous idea for their members, but I have not had a single signup after that. I am pretty sure that the key problem here is follow-up; although I have emailed them once afterwards, research shows that people have to be exposed to a good offer 7 times on the average before they make the decision. Here is where autoresponders come in. I haven't quite figured it out yet, how to make that work, but they basically send the e-mails for you automatically. You do have to write them, of course, but only once.
I also visited about 35 businesses and had a few who were interested, but again, no signups. I did not follow up here either. It is on my To-Do list.


7. DUPLICATION. Apart from personally recruiting affiliates you can also buy them or earn them or win them in auctions-last week I won 25 PSAs for just $0.36 and 4 bids. My sponsor put me under her S-Coop Builder (an advertising scheme) and I generally receive a couple of PSAs a month from that. I also lose a couple of PSAs/CSAs every month due to inactivity (no great loss there, they are only clogging up my list). My team is growing steadily; I now have 96 PSAs and 140 CSAs. Currently, 1 PSA is active and 8 CSAs. Last month I received commission on my CSAs for the first time. So that is also working, albeit slowly.

Being successful in selling online: the powerful GIFT CARDS!



One of the best ways to convince people to buy something is when they get a gift card for a certain store. At SFI this is one great opportunity to get clients. As a member, you can purchase Gift Cards with a $12 value for $0.99 each. You don't even have to pay shipping costs, as you can buy digital cards. When you give these to people they need to redeem them within 30 days or they expire. However, that does not mean you have lost your money: you can redistribute them to someone else until they are actually used! Once the person uses the card and signs up they will remain your Personal Referred Member for life and anytime they buy something you will receive commission on it. Pretty neat, huh? And doesn't just everybody love receiving gift cards as a present? It is a very positive way approach to marketing.

If you want to receive a free gift card just click HERE! Remember however, that if you are already an SFI affiliate, you can't use gift cards yourself. There is no obligation to buy anything but there are more than 90,000 products to choose from in any thinkable category, some of them are really cheap. There are always sales and close-out deals, so it is hard to believe that anyone would be unable to find something to spend the Gift Card on. Here is a sample:

Health & Wellness
Home & Garden
Pet Care
Electronics
Jewelry
Food
Books
Movies, music and games
Personal care & beauty
Education
Antiques and collectibles

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!
