Project: Bum Marketing on Drugs

Haha, thats right - bum marketing on drugs!

What do I mean? Well basically I'm going to be implementing the standard bum marketing methods into my first project. I will be using many Black Hat, Long Tail, and SEO techniques to hype up this campiegn and hopefully make my goal of $50 a day. After this is met I will proceed to $100 a day, $200 a day, ect.

To kick things off I'm going to be testing the niche of health seeing as it's a big seller around the holiday season. If it fails and still isn't converting on into January, I'm going to launch the second niche "Dog Training". The philosophy behind this is that all the people that get new pets for Christmas will be wanting to train their animals.

My plans as far as the article submission goes? Well I'm going to try for 15-20 articles a day until I get a steady 20-30usd in sales per day. After that I will monetize and optimize the websites using statistics from Google Analytics and then continue my article submission until I reach a steady $50 a day.

The whole process will be documented on this blog; so keep reading!

I've decided on my first affiliate project!

Well after doing a lot of research I've decided I'm going to go with what most beginner internet marketers go with. Affiliate marketing!

I'll be setting up a PPC campaign with Google's AdWords with a max bid of $0.50 per click. I'll be using several techniques I've learned - such as Long Tail, and creating several landing pages for the same product to see what sells and what flops.

I'll be able to monetize each landing page with AdSense, PPA/PPL offers, and newsletter sign ups to be able to continue marketing products to my audience.

Oh and, let's not forget SEO. I'll be using many websites and doing at least a whole weekend worth of research in SEO keywords. A few sites that will make this easier are seodigger.com, and wealthyaffiliates.com. (Speaking of which, wealthy affiliates is a great program. You can sign up for it HERE. It's excellent for all levels of internet marketing.)

The site I'm going to be basing my affiliate marketing with is ClickBank. They offer a HUGE and very powerful marketplace of products to promote -- and I'm definitely looking forward to dealing with them and their publishers & affiliates.

Wish me luck guys,
Andrew - Relient

Niche complications.

Well -- I'm having a hard time deciding between 2 niches.

I have enough money in paypal at the moment for 1 new project; and niche marketing is my favorite. Based on my own personal research and own knowledge, I've narrowed it down to learning acoustic guitar by ear and internet marketing.

I understand that theres probably not one thats better than the other because it honestly depends on how I develop it; but ASSUMING that I have great traffic, SEO, and content... which one do you guys think is better at the moment? I want personal opinions.

My personal thoughts are that since internet marketing is so big right now, that I would have great results with all the newbies that are exploring google and other websites looking for resources. On the other hand, learning acoustic guitar by ear, while not as popular, would probably be an easier niche for me to develop if I'm going for simple; seeing as I'm a guitar teacher myself.

As stated above, personal opinions please!
