Hi Elmien,

I don’t use Network Blazer, I just create my own sites with html, so you could definately use xsite pro to create the sites.

You could link some blogger blogs to your main site, but I haven’t found that blogger blogs rank that well lately. I do buy new domains for all the sites I have (although I only have 13 or so sites). Domains usually only cost around $8 for a year, and you are bound to make that money back pretty quickly. But you can start free by using blogger or hubpages like I do as well. (hubpages tends to rank quite well – although you don’t have the same control over layout etc).

If you have your own domain on blogger, then I don’t think you own the site, just the domain. I think you’d be better with your xsp sites.

Hope that helps and good luck with ipk!!

Hello Tracey

Thx for the wonderful info – I just bought Info Product Killer and would like to know:

- Do you have to use the website software and template he suggests?
- I use XSite Pro and he says you can use it but can I say create a few blogger blogs and link it to my XSPro site.

Do you have to buy new domains for all the stuff he suggest or can you buy a subdomains also! Will the effect be the same if you use subdomains?

Now the big question is: If I create a blogger blog and buy my own domain on blogger am I the owner then of the blog and can it then be sold in the future? I know very little about blogging and only have static XSP sites.

Do you perhaps know of a quickstart blogger guide that I can get hold of.

Appreciate your time!

Kind regards
Elmien

Hi Eric,

thanks for stopping by. Yes I hang out at the Warriorforum from time to time

I don’t know about Dan Brock’s course as I haven’t seen it, but I would say that if it deals with promoting Amazon products that you would only need one.

Yes it is MUCH easier to promote real products from amazon as opposed to ebooks. Well that’s what I’ve found anyway.

As for buying keywords, I rarely use them. I might have some of them in the copy, but mostly I just concentrate on the product name and that’s it. If people are typing in specific product names, they are ready to buy.

e.g. If they type in ‘golf clubs’ they want information. If they type in ‘calloway x-22 iron’ they are ready to pull out their credit card, so they may as well do it through your link

A hubpage is just a one page that you can set up on the web 2.0 site Hubpages.com – you can have as many hubpages as you like and they are very easy to set up.

Here’s an example of one of my hubpages: http://hubpages.com/hub/Coach-Diaper-Bag

I like creating them, they are pretty easy.

Hope that helps!

I think I saw you on Warrior Forum. I bought Dan Brock’s course. Looks pretty cool.
I trust your advice: So…Any reason to get IPK, or are the 2 courses fungible. (Crazy legal term meaning, in essence: “the same”.)
Anyway, I bought Brock’s ebook at 11:00 last night. Started reading and the first action item was to sign up for Amazon Associates program. Anyway, within 12 hours I was approved as an Amazon Associate.
I want to promote hard goods, not Clickbank crap about herbs that cure hemorrhoids (yeah right) with no less than 10 trillion affiliates pushing that product so it has a gravity of 4 quadillion cubed. (Big Gravity) Anyway, you give away some good advice which I am paying attention to. Thank you.
Two questions, in ascending dumbness: 1: Can you give us 5 examples of so called “buy words” other than BUY, CHEAP, BUY NOW, DEALS and FREE-SHIPPING?
2. Uhhhh… what’s a HubPage?
I know….shake your head side to side… “Rookies”.

I’ve been an Amazon affiliate for over a decade and still think it’s one of the best programs out there.

Hi Tracey, great advice here…do you feel that creating a hub for a hot Amazon product is a better way to go since websites and Blogs might take longer to get indexed?

Hi Waseem,

Target popular product names, make around five similar hubpages and link them together. You’ll do a lot better than $10/$15 !!

I saw some very cool widgets for Amazon where you choose products that are on a virtual carousel that attractively rotates any products that you want to display. I haven’t put it on any of my sites yet, but intend to very soon.
