How would you like to make a quick $700?

Well, I thought I’d help you get there by providing some simple steps on how you can do it. I mean we can all use some extra cash can’t we?

And by the way, there is no reason that you can’t scale this up to make much more than that, but I wanted to be conservative so I think a target of $700 by using this method I’m about to share is achievable.

For this to work we’ll be promoting a ClickBank product called Info Product Killer (IPK). The reason I’ve chosen this product is because it pays a commission of $70 per sale and it was hands down one of the best products I’ve ever purchased online (which you’d already know if you read this blog). (If you’d like to purchase it yourself you can do so here – although that’s not the purpose of this post – This post is all about helping YOU to make money). So to reach $700 you’ll need to make 10 sales of this.

This product converts at around 5%, which means to make 10 sales you’ve got get around 200 people to look at the offer. And I’m betting most of you already have a mailing list of more than 200 (or know how to get lots of eyes on this offer through SEO).

Sound achievable?

Awesome.

Of course I must let you know that I didn’t write/produce IPK and I’ve never met the author (although I have emailed him a few times and he seems really nice). I just really love the product, and you can’t beat that commission! $70 a sale – that’s good money.

So how do you get started?

First, register to become an affiliate for IPK. Head over to this affiliate sign up page and enter your details (for tracking your sales).  THIS IS IMPORTANT.

The product launches on July 13th and it’s only going to be live for 2 days so you’ve only got a little bit of time.

Craig Kaye (the author) has provided some pre-written emails that you can send out, starting a few days before and leading up to the launch day.

You can use these or write your own. (I prefer to write my own).

From now until then you can work at building your mailing list or you can just set up your autoresponder ahead of time.

Easy peasy.

I’ll be doing the same. In fact if you are on my mailing list, then expect to see some promo emails from me on this one. I am an affiliate after all

Good luck to everyone, and here’s to an extra $700 (or more) in your pocket.

UPDATE – Promoting Info Product Killer 2010 without a List

I’ve got quite a few people that said they would like to promote Info Product Killer 2010 but don’t have a list – is it still possible to make money? (Oh and by the way this method will work with any Clickbank Product)

Well yes it is. But it’s going to be hard work – are you ready?

Now since a lot of big name marketers are going to be promoting this, that means that lots of people are going to be searching online for reviews and information about it once they first hear about it.

That means you are going to have to make a blog post or article with words like

Info Product Killer Review
Info Product Killer 2010 Review
What’s in IPK 2010?
IPK Scam
IPK Case Study
IPK Bonuses (if you plan to offer bonuses)

And so on.

You can add this to your existing blog, hubpage, squidoo lens etc or you can make a new page or blog.

I probably wouldn’t bother writing an article for Ezinearticles at this stage since IPK is only going to be live for a few days and EA might take too long to approve your article, so use places where your article or blog post will go live immediately.

I’ll be using my already existing Info Product Killer Review site.

Remember, if you want to promote this you need to go to http://www.infoproductkiller.com/jv/859358/ and place your details in the ‘stay in the loop’ box so you can get all the latest info and get your sales tracked.

You’ll make $81 a sale.

Craig has also added some banners on the site too which you can put on your website.

Here’s to a successful campaign!

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable when it comes to SEO. Now I know I’m certainly not a guru or expert in it, but I feel that I know enough to get a low to medium level phrase to rank well in Google. But what I didn’t really predict was how well internal linking would work at improving my rankings.

Last week I did an experiment on one of my niche sites where I was ranking #5 for a term that gets searched for quite a lot. I got ok traffic from that term, but I wanted to see if I could improve it. But instead of the usual linkbuilding that I do (article marketing, web 2.0 marketing, other link building), I wanted to see if I could move it with JUST internal linking. I wasn’t that confident.

For the experiment I wrote four new posts and in each post put a link back to the page I wanted rank higher using the phrase as the link text. I added each new post one day at a time to see if the rankings changed after each new post.

At first it didn’t budge, but after the fourth post (on the fourth day) my ranking moved up to #2 for that phrase.

I was pretty astonished (and happy).

Of course this rank improvement could be due to a few factors since the posts are still quite new so they are on the front page of the website – which eventually will get pushed lower as I add new content, but I’m really quite excited about what this could mean with getting other phrases to rank higher without having to do as much work as I used to.

So I want to continue this experiment. I currently have another term on the same site that I’d like to get ranked higher (it’s currently #11) so next week I will try to see if I can move that page higher with ONLY internal linking – and also whether adding more content that pushes my other posts down will cause the first term to drop in rankings as well.

We will see …

Tracey Edwards (<< my rankings have started to drop for my own name, so I better try and get that back up as well LOL )

I’ve just finished reading the June module for Tim Gorman’s Article Marketing Lifeline product (see my Article Marketing Lifeline review here) and one of the things he talks about is Article Clustering.

I had never heard of article clustering before so was really intrigued by this strategy for building links and getting both your articles and website ranking better on the search engines.

Basically the technique is similar to a link wheel in which articles, blogs and web 2.0 sites are linking to each other to provide more juice to your money site. But the linking strategy is much more complicated than a simple link wheel (which just links once to your money site and once to the previous web 2.0 site).

The article clustering strategy takes it a step further by interlinking these properties much more extensively so each property essentially get’s a boost in rankings making the links to your main site much stronger.

So how can you incorporate this into your article marketing and SEO plans?

While I haven’t read the main product that introduced this technique, it seems that the quickest and simplest ways of incorporating this is to:

1. Create your main money site
2. Build approximately two articles linking to EACH page on your main site
3. Build a Web 2.0 property (hubpages/squidoo/blogger) that links to both your main site and also to one or two articles. Do this for each page on your site.
4. Write one article pointing to each web 2.0 site you create.
5. Create another web 2.0 site that links to your money site, the first web 2.0 site and one of the articles.
6. Continue as often as you like to improve rankings

Essentially what you are doing is building a spider web/pyramid type structure whereby each new article or web 2.0 site is strengthening the sites above it. It’s like a pyramid scheme on steroids! And like a pyramid structure, whatever is at the top is generating the strength from those below it.

If you want to take it even further you can build supporting sites instead of using web 2.0 properties (or even use a combination of both).

Now that may seem like a lot of work (and it is) but generally for most low to medium competition phrases you won’t need as many links as you think you will. You might only need one or two supporting sites with articles pointing at them and your main site to achieve the rankings you want.

And of course this doesn’t have to be all on the one day, you can write one article per day, or create one mini site/web 2.0 property per day over a period of weeks and months depending on your time schedule.

Each week check your rankings and see if you have moved. If you haven’t then write more articles/ build more supporting sites. Interlink some of them (cluster them). Rinse and repeat.

Time is actually on your side with this because as the sites and articles age they will get stronger naturally anyway (especially if they all have backlinks to them pushing them up).

I actually did this to one website I have without even knowing that was what I was doing (it was one of the first websites I created and I also created articles, a squidoo lens and a blogger blog all linking to each other and the main site). That site ranks number one and brings some really good sales for the term I was targeting (before I even knew what I was doing!) – so this method does work very well.

Finally we get to the videos and monthly updates which you get in Article Marketing Lifeline.

#4 – Monthly Article Marketing Lifeline Module Updates

What set’s this product apart from most of the other article marketing products, is that each month you will receive a brand new guide featuring strategies, reviews, tips and questions with the latest information on article marketing. This is for no extra cost, just the original amount that you paid for this package. So you could essentially get years and years of information and not have to pay another cent for it.

As of writing this review there has only been one module released – the Article Marketing Lifeline May module which is 34 pages long and contains heaps of information. I could tell you exactly what’s in it, but why not have a look for yourself, as Tim has kindly allowed me to give you a copy. If you think it’s amazing then come back here and buy the package through my link at the bottom of this page (pretty please ) Here’s the May 2010 module.

I hear that the June module is going to be released this weekend – and I can’t wait to get my copy.

#5 – 2008 System Seminar Video Presentation

When I first saw that this seminar was produced in 2008 I was a little worried that it would be out of date or be long and boring. I was right about the long bit, but I actually found so much gold in these video’s that it was worth it.

There are five video’s here, 2 showing the slides from the system seminar (over 2 hours worth) and three of about 5 mins each showing article marketing proof, keyword research proof and deep linking.

The two main videos are where the bulk of the information is though. The first starts off with Tim telling us his background and talking generally about why you should use article marketing. So the good information doesn’t actually start until around 36 minutes into it.

It’s here (and continued into video 2) that he shows us examples of good and bad titles, resource boxes that can increase clickthroughs and general strategies such as my favourite article blitz strategy which he first introduced in 2007 and has updated for this video for 2008. (I’m hoping there is even a further update on this strategy for 2010 coming in the future – but I can tell you that it does still work very well).

Normally I get bored when watching long video’s and I prefer pdf’s so that I can go through the information in my own time and my own pace (and print it out if need be), but I did enjoy these video’s and found they contained a lot of really useful information and tips.

Overall thoughts on Article Marketing Lifeline

You can probably tell from this review, that I think that Tim’s product is really great. I while do think it is expensive (especially if you are new and just starting out in internet marketing) the sheer amount of information and follow up support that you will receive is by far worth it because I think if you take action and put this info into practice you’ll reap the rewards within about a month or two (possibly sooner if you get a lot of articles written).

Yes I definitely recommend Article Marketing Lifeline by Tim Gorman. If you liked my review and want to purchase the product through my link, then jump over to the sales page now by clicking here.

Now we are getting into the good stuff of what you get in the Article Marketing Lifeline package – the main products. (Yes I’ve finally finished going through it all).

#1 – Article Marketing Answers

This product is made up of three eBooks covering six different modules (Modules 1-5 and then a bonus module) that cover just about any question you might have about article marketing.

The first eBook which is 77 pages and cover’s 90 different questions is the largest of the three pdf’s and covers Module 1 – General questions. Here you’ll get questions answered such as:

- what are the benefits to article marketing
- questions over duplicate content
- how many articles can you submit daily
- how to increase page views to your article
- is article marketing is dead
- how to increase CTR, and so on

There are some quite advanced topics covered in these questions and we even get to see the niche’s that Tim is involved in – which is rare for an internet marketer to reveal.

The second pdf is 45 pages long and contains modules 2 – 5 which are keyword questions, mass submission/article spinning questions, Tim’s product questions, and ezinearticles.com questions.

Finally the last pdf (18 pages) is the bonus module which goes into even more advanced topics and Tim goes into great detail about getting your articles into page one of Google and how to maximise the money making potential of your best performing articles.

I have to say I was blown away with all the information and tips that I got from reading Article Marketing Answers – and I’m really excited to get started writing articles again with these new ideas.

#2 – Tim Gorman’s private email to ask any article marketing questions directly to him

If you have any questions or need advice then you can email Tim directly and get a personal response. This is huge since personal coaching from a ‘guru’ usually runs into the hundreds of dollars.

I haven’t taken advantage of this yet but stay tuned Tim because I definitely plan to in the near future!

#3 – Total Article Marketing Domination Report

This report is 56 pages and mainly shows you how to take your article marketing to the next level using web 2.0 sites such as Squidoo, Hubpages and Yahoo! Answers.

It starts off with a really good section on keyword research either by using a keyword tool (either free or paid) or Tim’s preferred method – using ezinearticles to find good keywords. You get step by step instructions on both methods, but I found the ezinearticles method to be far better (but perhaps that’s because everybody already knows how to plug in keywords in the google keyword tool and the ezinearticles method is new and not many people use it).

I pretty much knew a lot of the web 2.0 stuff already (since as you know I already use them extensively – especially hubpages and I wrote a pretty good guide to getting traffic using yahoo answers) so I know the power of using them.

It’s a good report for taking your article marketing to the next level by taking advantage of the ranking power of these sites.

…

Tomorrow I’ll round off my review by talking about the monthly Article Marketing Lifeline module updates and the video’s of Tim’s 2008 System Seminar Video Presentation on Article Marketing.

But as you can see it’s already packed full of some pretty amazing stuff on article marketing and I bet you are starting to get really excited about this product – I know I am.
