I know that tracking isn't something that you instantly think about when you get started in this business, but it should be.  I know….I know…..the main thing on your mind right now is how to make money, how to get traffic, how to build a site, etc……
Those things are obviously important, but eventually you figure out how to do all those things.  After you've figured out all that stuff, you eventually have to know which keywords are working for you and converting, and which are not.
You could have all the …

We all have our stories about how we got into this business.  I don't think mine is really that different from most.
I personally HATED every job I've ever had.  I don't know what it is about it.
I don't know if it was just that I hated my bosses or I hated the work itself or I hated getting up early in the morning or I hated the sterile environment of some of the white collar jobs I've worked or I hated that I was stuck in an office when I …

I know there are a bunch of you out there who are just starting out, and are still trying to get that first sale. I can't begin to tell you how important it is getting that first sale.  It really has nothing to do with the money.  It's much more important for your confidence.I know exactly what it's like when you are trying to make that first sale ever.  You log in to your account and all you ever see is $0 next to your balance.  You wish you could …

Ok….it's been 30 days.  How do you feel?  If you were completely brand new to creating websites and online marketing, I hope you've learned a lot.  
I tried to provide a step by step plan that anybody can follow.  I'm sure you had to figure some things out for yourself, but the purpose of all this was to give you a blueprint, and a general plan of attack.  You were the one that had to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s.

In your experience, you may have realized that …

This post goes out to all of the people who have followed the step by step plan, and either have not had the kind of success that they had hoped for or they have had success and just simply don’t like the niche they have chosen and would rather focus all their time and effort on a new niche.
Selling a site can create a nice lump sum payment which can be used to fund your next niche.  You can outsource a lot of the content creation with the money you …

You may not be ready for this quite yet, but once you’ve built up your PageRank, a good thing you can do is sell text links.  Webmasters are willing to pay big money for contextual links on high PR sites.
You’ve got a couple of choices on how to sell links.  You can create a blog post an then put the link within the blog post.  You can also just create a sidebar blogroll with nothing but paid links.  Obviously depending on where the links are placed, you’ll be able …

After 27 days, I'm sure the idea of just paying for traffic has probably sprung in your brain.  Is this a good idea or not? Well…..it depends. If you have had a steady stream of traffic, what kind of sales are you getting?  If the conversion rate is strong, then starting a PPC campaign is a wonderful idea.
It's obvious you've got a sales page that people are reading and responding to.  There's absolutely no reason to at least try a PPC campaign and see if you can get some hands-free …

Yesterday, I mentioned about building a review site for your niche, if you've experienced success with your site.

Another thing you can do, instead of moving onto another niche, is to create your own product.  Don't worry this isn't as complicated as you think it is.

I've already written a post on this subject.  You can read it here:

Ok….this is for all those people who have had success with their niches, and more importantly enjoy writing about the niche.

An alternative is to create a review site based on your niche.  You'd provide honest reviews of affiliate products.  In your review, you simply provide an affiliate link within your review.

This is really based on the Chris Rempel Conduit Method.  I'll lightly brush through it, but if you are really interested in it, I really encourage you to check it out.  I have a few conduit sites, and they are …

I touched on this in yesterday’s post. But for those that have started to make money with your site, it’s inevitable you want to start building on that.  The key is to grow your business.  Having one site is great for a start, but it’s only a start.
That’s where outsourcing begins.  If there is one thing that I really wished I would have done earlier in my IM career, it would be that I started outsourcing.
Obviously, the first thing you are going to have to do is evaluate your cash …
