Passive Revenue Internet Marketing Edition

This is another video created by the guys from 30Day Challenge , it explains what is a market and keyword research in relation to internet marketing.If you still wondering about keyword research , check this video out :

Guys , recently I've came across the 30 Challenge by Ed Dale , it is really cool stuff , no hype with tons of quality information for internet marketing newbie.

We all know that choosing the right market is crucial for internet marketing .I've been reading tons of niche research ebooks for months and "How to find Niche Ideas" from Ed Dale is one of the best.

The idea is simple , go to Amazon and look at the magazine section , choose a category and take note how many magazines have been published for a particular niche.As we know magazine publisher is after the money , so with a good amount of magazines presence in a niche , it is a good indicator that there are money for us to make . Have a look yourself :

Internet Marketing is not a get rich quick scheme , whatever you have seen something like "$100 per day in 2 hrs by selling something" or "$1000 per month from AdSense while you're in your pajamas" , as an IM newbie , i advise you to totally forget about it . What you've seen in the ads are achievable but not an overnight thing , it takes countless of trial and error , mistake , disappointment , not to mentioned the emptiness each time you look into your earning. Those Ads , is an Ads , their purpose is to create and amplify your internal desire which force you to fulfill your inner emptiness by buying their product , the result , you will end up buying more and more IM products and yet still earning big ZERO . If you have "Get Rich Quick" mindset , you better get rid of them from now on.

Internet marketing is a business . A business sell product or service to the market. If you think from this perspective , in order for a business to make profit by selling product and service , they first need to :

1.Understand the market and its population
2.Determine Demand and Supply
3.Analyze market competition
4.Create product or resell other ppl product or service to fulfill the market demand
5.Product positioning and differentiation
6.Setup shop and establish distribution channel and network for your product
7.Hire staff to take care of the business
8.Market product to preselected market segment
9.Provide good service to customer and establish long term recurring buying relation with them
10.Expand your business

If you compare this to Internet Marketing , it is no surprise that they shared some common characteristics . As an Internet Marketer , you need to :

1.Understand the online population , after all , Internet Marketing is selling product or service to those who surf and buy from the internet. Selling product to a country with high online population is critical to ensure a profitable online business.

2.The big advantage of an online business over off line business is the easiness to obtain critical market statistic information such as demand and supply data from major search engine companies such as Google , Yahoo and MSN. There are plenty of tools out there which help you to compile and analyze the demand and supply of a your product . You can do it without paying any serious money , sometime you even can get them from free .

3.Analyze market competition , before you can go ahead with your online business idea , do a search in Google , Yahoo and MSN with your product keyword. Check the total results return , the less the better.

4.Once you have found a product with high demand but low supply , it is time to create a product to fulfill the demand . You can do it by creating your own product or by being an affiliate to other people product which gains your commission with each successful sales.This is also known as Affiliate Marketing in general. There are also other way to earn money without selling any product such as Google AdSense .

5.In order to establish the product uniqueness , an Internet Marketer usually will provides free bonuses or other valued added service to further encourage a potential customer to buy from them. After all if you are selling the same product with thousand of other internet marketers
how to you convince a potential customer to buy from you ?

6.Now , you have a solid product to sell , it is time to setup a website to introduce your product to the market.It doesnt' need to be fancy , a free blogger blog will do a sufficient job

7.The advantage of Internet Marketing is that you can start the whole business by yourself .Once your business start growing , you might want to consider to hire a full time customer service assistant for after sales support.If you have few extra to spend , you can outsource your work too , it isn't hard to find any good outsource service on the Internet.

8.Once your product and website is ready , it is time to pull some visitors to your website.You can do it via Pay per click advertising , article marketing , web 2.0 social networking which I will talk more about them later.The key point here is to market to the right market group and segment , you don't want to market a hair loss product to those who looking how to cure their headache problem.

9.Encourage your visitor and customer to sign up your mailing list so you can periodically send them quality information , you can also notify them about your next big cool product which they might interested. Mailing list is important for an online business because these are targeted visitors or customers , i.e. they already have interest or have bought your product , so it isn't hard to promote a similar or related products to them in the future.

10.Once your online business start generating consistent monthly income , it is wise to
reinvest part of your profit to further enhance its market position .It is also wise to expand the business to other related and profitable market.

In a nutshell Internet Marketing is not much different from any tradition business , the only different is the way to implement them.

I hope you will change your mindset now and take Internet Marketing as a serious business. When you do it right , it will brings you a continuous flow of passive revenue for many years to come and one day you might be able to quit your day job and be a full time internet marketer.

When you change the way you see things, the things you see change

It has been a while i wanted to get a more decent look for my blog , hope you will like it.
Beginning of 2008 while i am still working out to break the zero barrier , I will start posting on niche marketing which involves market and keyword research , article content , backlink generation that i have learned in the process . So keep an eye on this blog :)

I received few promotion emails on Project Quick Cash by Alok Jain , this launching soon product emphasis on how little time he has spent on his project with no cost and yet earning $XXXX .

Is this true or just another hype , whenever i see "no cost" , i will think of the equation ="a lot of hard work".

Should i buy ? depend on how much does it cost , anything between $20 to $30 is reasonable.

Hey guys , how are you doing ? thanks for visiting my blog , it is really a great pleasure to know there are still someone out there reading my blog :)

Just want to give you a quick update on my latest internet marketing journey , i believe a picture worth thousand words , here you go :



and my affiliate sales :


Yup , ZERO . Despite i have carefully choosen a niche where i think it has less competition but i still failed to climb further in the ranking , the reason being i didn't generate enough link to my blog ,due to busy work schedule , i hardly spend any time on link building .

Well , I've been reading a lot of ebooks like "How to generate $XXXX in less than 1 week" , believe me it wasn't that easy if not harder , internet marketing requires a lot of hard work before you can reach the $XXXX level .

I will change my approach , I will change the way i see thing and I will never give up !!
I shall break the ZERO barrier soon , once i did that , i believe you can too !

When i launched my first money making blog , I was testing the idea of setting up multiple subdomains within a domain , doing this i can save my cost because domain name nowaday is getting more expensive especially with the recent adjustment in domain price across different domain name registra.

Hence i launched my first site as a subdomain under a generic domain . The subdomain name is the product name that i am targeting. After few weeks of adding good contents , finally my site is being ranked at page 16 by Google for the product name .It was yoyoing around page 16 to page 20 in the past few weeks.I am happy and content because i haven't do any link building yet , once there are more inbound link for the targeted keyword , the ranking shall be improve .

And out of curiousity , i bought another domain name which is close to the product name i am targeting . I installed Wordpress blog and leave it there without any contents and no on page optimization at all

So now i have 2 websites targeting the same product name , once is under a subdomain and another one a brand new domain.

The new site has been indexed by Google 1 week later (i just leave it there untouched for 1 week) Guess what ? it was ranked at page 5 (exact match) for the product name, with no contents , only the default Hello world post by wordpress, no on page optimization , no what so ever wordpress seo plugins , It outranks my subdomain site which has quality contents , on page seo and yet still struggling between page 15 and 16 . Page 5 with no work at all and Page 15 with hard work ?

Google treats subdomain and domain equally but when comes to SEO and niche marketing , buying a domain which includes the targeted product name/keyword is much much more better than setting a subdomain .

A lot of SEO Experts will advise to get a domain instead of subdomain , i don't really undertand the reason behind until i try them out myself.Overally i am pretty happy with the experiment , each small improvement bringing me closer to my $1 a day target :).

It has been awhile since my last update . After much struggle due to work commitment and DOTA everynite, finally i have launched my first money making blog . It is on a health product and without doing any link building , it is quietly sitting on page 16 of my target keyword . I am going to start link building and submitting article soon for this blog , the target earning is $1 per day

The subsequent posting will be focus on what i have learned or still learning on the strategy to AdSense/Affiliate Marketing .I am no way to be the expert but the materials that i have gone through should be sufficient for us , the Internet Marketing Newbie (IMN) :) . until then stay tuned !

I just gone through my PLR articles collection which covering niches such as dog trainng , gardening ,health and fitness , home schooling , car buying , debts, bonsai , wine , boat , fishing , speed reading , acting , stamp collection ,camping and etc.... If you not doing any black hat adSense and actually read through each of them ,imagine the amount of knowledge you will gained from them.
Learning while Earning from Google AdSense , does it make sense to you ? It does make a lot of sense to me :)

Audio content emerges recently in the PLR market , a reader no longer requires to read line by line of your article instead they can listen to the article by clicking the play button or download them into mp3 player . I kind of like this idea , publishing audio and text content on adsense sites which giving you an edge over the fierce competition out there.

Congratulations!

Your Google AdSense application has been approved. You'll soon begin to
see relevant Google ads appear on passiverevenue.blogspot.com .

Yahoo !!!

During my course of learning , i enjoy reading story about successful internet marketer ,read about how they started their first move , struggling with thousand of debts and able to get over the obstacle and reach the top of the mountain. Recently i just bought an audio product about 12 successful internet marketers from Malaysia ,it has help me a lot , clear my doubt and build up my confidence that I also can be as successful as them one day . For fellow Malaysian who just started the IM journey , you might want to check out the product here :

Lately i have been doing a lot of reading and learning about Google adsense , such as ads blending and placement ,finding profitable niche , getting quality contents , generating targeted traffics , SEO optimization ,keyword optimization , deciding whether start with blog or website ,studying the potential of web 2.0, evaluating tool after tool, joining course after course , buying more and more products , , heck , My head is getting bigger and bigger and my hair is getting lesser and lesser

When learning about Google AdSense , i came across two different school of thought , the first one suggest you to produce as many low quality adsense site as possible , usually from 100 to 300 sites per month , putting 10,000 to 20,000 keywords in each of them and hoping to earn few bucks from adSense, for example if each of the site from the 300 adsense sites earning you 1 dollar a day , it will be 300 a day and 9k a month , the phylosophy behind : you don't want to sell a one million dollar orange, you want to sell a million ONE dollar oranges! .
Another school of thought is to produce few sites but with high quality information to your visitor, for e.g. you might have 3 high quality sites earning you 100 dollar a day , which is 300 a day and 9k a month.

Of course the later required a lot of effort to generate the "Authority site" and it is no surprise that many will opt for the first option , they bought prebuild adsense site , hundreds of ghost written PLR articles and mass publishing them . Many of them have earn good money by selling a million ONE dollar oranges .

After reading John's report i finally make up my mind to go for the "Authority site" option , i want to build my niche that will benefit my reader , build up the reputation in the niche and growing constant traffic , i have set my mind , i have one goal and what i need to do is "Action" :)

The "Rebirth of Internet Marketing" report from John Reese is just fantastic.If you have been struggling in the Internet Markteting all this while , i recommend you to download the report from his blog and read it everyday. If you are a IM newbie like me , i suggest you to print it out and read it when you wake up in the morning and read again when you going to bed. The report will set your vision and your thinking to the right track. In a nutshell in order to succeed in IM , you must deliver quality information to your reader which will help them to solve their problems and improving their life . If you recognise this important factor , your life will definately getting better and better with the recurring traffic you have gained

Hi guys , I decide not to solely depend on Adsense to make money , instead i am going to include Amazon , Clickbank and other programs on my site to furhter enhance my passive stream of revenues.

I have just got my niches , website and contents standby and right now i am focusing on the traffic part , definately no rush to launch the site , i just want to do it right at the first time as much as i can and very eager to see my baby in action :)

Most of us know that Alexa provides the traffic details for a programs but few notice that it is also showing the origin country of its visitors . I found this is useful for you to decide when to retreat from a program.If the program majority members are from the US then you should look closely what happend in the US and you should know that November and December are not good month to invest your money. Below is the alexa snapshot taken on dacan12daily :
