The Basic 1 2 3 process

The Basic 1 2 3 Process 

First step was always finding the right product , fortunately ,I knew my way around the google searches and quickly pulled up results for Companies that paid, looking it up on the forums ,researching if they did indeed pay .secondly signing up to them

there are a few to pick from. I'll list them here

1. Click bank
2. YouTube
3. Facebook
4. Google absence
5. Twitter

I will post all my usage/info an all the stuff I used later on in the post

For me ,I joined Click bank, I always had the other forms of social media 

Once I signed up to click bank I was introduced to affiliate marketing , Affiliate Marketing was my way of choosing how I was going to make money online .I picked affiliate marketing as it recieved praise on forums plus there was alot of positivity around it ,this was way back in 2011, the promises of easy opportunities of making an income from just an internet connection was truly alive or was it ? 

Anyway

now that I was an affiliate marketer ,I had to find out how to market the products on clickbank

I didnt want to involve any of my family on basic principle

clickbank looks like this 

how to market affiliate stuff on clickbank 

I ran the whole how to do stuff on clickbank by that ,I mean how to pick a niche , what niche's to pick, the whole story, was easy enough to find a few video's on that subject inside clickbank, they also have a forum 

after looking for the biggest paycheck I could find on click bank I started looking into the actual process on marketing this product , was simple enough was it ?

No it wasnt , it was super hard 

I had brainstormed the idea on perfecting the right solutions to a problematic scenario that someone might have so forth etc

I mean before you promote something on clickbank you need to know what exactly are the selling inside this product

,meanwhile I had this link which supposedly would send who-ever would click on it to the person page selling the product ,I had no idea if the product was good or not ,what would happen if he/she got angry at me? claimed I was scamming etc. etc, the general feeling of it just didnt seem right, I still had no-one to market to, It was funny how emotionally connected I was to providing a product and guilty about it at the same time because I'd be making money off of my supposed trickery, I never sent anyone that link, call it weak but it didnt feel right with me

but that didnt matter
I wasn't doing anything with this link anyways, yet

this is really where it becomes serious ,I did not work and slowly I was slipping away from the idea that all the information in the world wouldn't help my cause 

it felt like I had the highest equivalent of education on the subject of how I was going to make money online,but it didnt mean anything because regardless of the amount of information I had I still missed the basic workings of Starting, funny isn't it  

so what I did was step away from the computer and returned a few days later , I essentially gave up on the idea that I could make money online and that it was just one of those far side moments ,I continued to play facebook games ,thinking back on how the heck these guys get to gloat about something that genuinely works for them ,it played an emotionally and physically on me ,I mean man did I just waste all this time looking for ways and ways to make a living from just my internet connection, and in the end still end up looking a real job , seemed relentless that I boiled it down to its very basics but that is just the way it is sometimes , I gave up ,but not entirely, I didn't make it my entire focus ,after all I was inevitably going to end up getting a real job.

Later on since I knew so much about internet marketing and making money online ,I decided to start blogging my experiences ,its was actually a thing I looked up when I was researching stuff on how to make money online, thats how I got introduced to blogger.com ,it was kind of a drop off point to my failure to earn money online but hey im happy about it ,I say failure here because I couldnt get past a certain step which I will explain later on in this post, after all am I sharing my experience with it and in turn hopefully you could learn from it , enhance your own with it , I discovered that the market was so flooded with affiliate links and products of the same nature it was nearly impossible to get some random guy/girl with the intention of buying to click on my specific link which is probably one in a gazillion links to choose from , why didn't the customer not just retype the real products name into the search if you were looking for it , after all I wouldn't want to buy my milk from say a lumber jack , third party is the term, simply it didnt make sense at first but its tricky how disguised these links can be , I experienced a slight dumbing down period

I'll make it a point to not link any irrelevant information especially referral links, I was all over the place with those ,I'll discuss that later on in the post 

the only linking in this post would be from youtube , its probably one of the best forms of information delivery systems out there plus I surf youtube alot , its pretty scary sometimes hahahah ,the how the heck did I end up here moments , I think we've all had them 

So starting up on how I researched online on how to start making money online, I started with what I presume was the first step and that was to sign up to clickbank since I researched the best ways to make money online back in 2011 and It brought me to Clickbank , good step 1 complete hahaha was I wrong 

secondly what seemed to take ages to get into grips was picking a product on click bank to sell to others , fine, I picked what seemed to be the highest gravity at the time and since it was the highest gravity at the time seemed to me that it was a pretty reliable product to promote ,I could safely say that whoever bought the product was not only impressed by it but solved one of their problems, it was selling ,so it was an easy choice to pick right off the bat , it even looked more productive to the consumer and seemed to solve one of there problems easy hey - nope I was wrong there again , and I'll get to that point later on in the post

Im going to show you the exact process and where I dropped out in a simplified version as a final memoir or post ,but for now I will carry on  

so I had this link but I had no-idea who to sell it to ,I obviously knew who to sell it to, that sentence should of been re-worded to how do I deliver this information to whom ever my customer is. thats when I created a page on facebook and started selling my link there , I started my post by saying this is the best thing since sliced bread kind of posts routine in hopes that whoever clicked on it would be magically bewildered by its usefulness ,after a few days of doing that I told myself that I couldn't just dedicate my only facebook page to just one product ,I have to continually post updates to the page so people could see that I was active ,I started promoting or posting my affiliate link here and there and everywhere ,needless to say I was one page in an endless amount of similar and yet unsuccessful amount of pages ,probably just as active as I was. I didnt know whether they were unsuccessful or not but I sure wasn't getting the traffic I was promised haha

 man I just couldn't get away from the affiliate crowd ,my page never received any likes , no-one ever came to my page and it was impossible to get any customers that way, yet failing another idea of mine I had , after all I was looking for the easy way out , I knew the information was at my fingertips but getting a hold of someone willing to spend money on god know what I was selling ,I wont say exactly what I was selling but all I knew was I couldn't afford it to review it to know what was inside it , I wanted to make money online for free , the start up ,I remember getting all hyped up because the one sales page (I did not know it was a sales page) explained to me that it was the simplest thing to do and to get on board before the boat sails off , haha very funny bro, 

the use of imaginative expression, transformed the user that saw the page into thinking it was a physical product and soon to be out of grasps reach hence the act now wording

basically when the sales page delivered a product they inadvertently/always gave a few general tips on what he/she was selling thus even tho you didnt buy the product you left with a few miner tips, I used this what the producer explained in his product and changed the wording around even editing out and making my own similar situational scenario

when you get emotionally resistant to the exaggeration and hype of a product , you begin to realize that under all that bull he's just a man selling a product to an unfortunate soul willing to pay for it , and im being critical here ,he's final goal is to get you to use your credit card or paypal or whatever way he can to get you to transfer money towards him ,now im neither saying I got scammed or your about to get scammed all im saying is that there is a goal driving this person and he sees that there is a market and indeed he has a product for that problem ,basically if you're on your last wits he would cash in on the hype

now lets continue

my goal here is share with you my experience and aswell as show you how its all done 

no its not free "making money online"although it can be free if you willing to put the time in and we'll get into it when I say its not free later on in the post 

lets continue 

so the problem arrived at my complete lack of reviews of items that I couldn't get my hands on , this would of helped me tremendously but I wanted to do this free of charge since it was my only option.

 I didnt have to means to spend money on said product (I'd probably get reprimanded saying its only a few dollars )(those few dollars are better suited elsewhere- and to be brutally honest didnt and still dont have that kind of cash to spend on a product im doing my review on) especially if I had no connection to the product, I wanted to make money with the internet plus this was my job I gave myself im an affiliate marketer not a customer 

So what I did then was resort to a page that reviewed the said item aswell as selling the item at the same time and based my review around the what the reviewer said ,taking into account that maybe he bought it and really gave his honest review on it
-this did not work-
bare in mind that I still didnt own any websites on the reviews I was about to do ,

I was in phases , the literal start of starting and phase one was signing up and researching and developing the right content to the relevant traffic

 I was writing this all down in note pad as I was going to provide every bit of knowledge there was on this review , it was pretty authoritative of me but I knew that I had to be unique in my conquest to make money online like everyone else has, especially if I was to out compete my fellow affiliate marketers 

I started see-ing the trend that maybe its the review pages that are the key to this business, not only did they review the product they also sold it .it hit me like an epiphany,I could sell to the best thing since sliced bread routine link around to people looking for a review of the products, this kind of tatctic would mean I would sell my affiliate link to other affiliate linkers

pretty Evil hey hahaha 

- this wouldn't work-
 because neither of us actually produced the said proof ,ontop of that its was like lie-ing ,it didnt sit well with me cos how was this going to set me apart from the rest ? indeed we did the review or indeed we've tried and tested the miracle product and it works (laughing out loud) proof was in the testing but so were other competitors,

and those that did , well they had their affiliate link neatly hidden in what turns out was to be a review site also turned out to be a sales pitch 

I was researching and researching for another tactic

I knew that I needed reliable information that I could part with the buyer in turn I'd gained their trust ,but Im not selling trust Im selling my affiliate link so I kept researching on how my site if I we're to build a site would revolve around this certain uniqueness aswell as suit the relevant consumer

im getting to the point where I share with you what I learnt ,bare in mind it is as simple 1 2 3 process ,It ain't gonna be easy when it comes to affiliate marketing, but it works,  

all these pages and websites claimed they are making money online and all of them had one thing in common , they reviewed the product and gave it a go-ahead that indeed it was something that solved the customers problem aswell as theirs and it was the best thing since sliced bread

I must say ,when I show you what I learnt you going to amaze yourself at how simple it is and yet on the other hand how technical it can get

right off the bat im gonna say when you looking for a niche , look for something that is an actual product , 1 time payment ,no recurring sales ,non of that fluff, I could be wrong here but bare with me here as leter on you will find that it doesnt matter what I've said in this paragraph

lets continue

what really helped me was CBengine.com , it was great not only did I solve my complet lack of picking a niche but it gave me stats that other affiliates didnt have

CBengine.com
when you go the page you will see this picture on the right ,have fun playing around here as you get familiar with all the products you're going to promote

   Pretty cool , bet you already played around with its settings getting to know it

Can I say we've finally reached goal number ONE of this experience?
Nope we are far off the grid when it comes to step number one ,I'd say we are about 25% complete into even stepping into step One of what I learnt

 lets continue

 I played around with this tool looking at all the products on clickbank making my list of possible choices

jotting down what seemed to be the best items and sort of created a name for the facebook page that revolved around the subject again at this point I felt like a professor of internet marketing but boy was I wrong

The advice I got earlier on the click bank videos and a lot of other affiliates on the forum swore to stay away from highly prioritized items and those kind of products ,it wasn't like I was going to listen to them , after all ,they did say pick something I have knowledge about , although I didn't have what seemed like pro advice , I knew this as a result of my time spent on the forums

If you looking for a great forum I recommend warrior-forum ,

this post might not be the best kind of advice you going to get out there but hopefully if you did manage to get this far even through my awful spelling and continued use of conjunctions and so forth that in the end I indeed break it down to a few simple steps on actually starting, the results ,well I wish you the best

after what seemed like years I decided that it wasn't what the affiliates had said its about
What Are You Going To Do

I had this affiliate link I dipped into the honey pot saying its the best product you're currently looking for , I used facebook and twitter to get around socially and it was a whole lot of one thing , like a flea market sale set around the dessert and the only way a customer would walk in was if they we're curious about exactly what we were doing

I'll get back to twitter in a second but right now before we carry on I want to talk about Keywords, it was basically my next step anyways so here are the subjects of SEO's

1. Keywords
2. Index Terms
3. Subject Heading
4. Subject Term
5. and Descriptors
6. Tags

when I moved onto the next step this was it , to recap on the whole experience

I started out by Picking a program that is going to pay me
Clickbank
then I went ahead and picked my niche or product I was going to promote
CBengine helped me there
then I wanted to expand further as traffic was the key to it
Social media
when that failed or I gave up
 I looked into monetization
create unique and edible content that would separate me from other affiliate marketers

finally long time ago I got introduced to the topic of keywords inside on one of the forums ,at that time I joined a Pay to Click site called clicksence or something along that lines and inside you got paid to click on adverts , how easy was that
its was super easy
but the high payment threshold meant i'd have to click something along the lines of 10 000 adverts
it was alot especially when the advert payed about 0.001c - 0.005c ,

yeah I had to make a curtain amount of money first before it paid out

needless to say because I wasn't premium I wasn't getting premium clicks I knew it was going to be hard but thats when the referral engineering started ,the only way I was going to get referrals was if I created a site around how wonderful this PTC site was , after this point it felt like I was in a sweater shop and what we were making was that delicious spam , it felt like factory work

I did that for about a month since I had my options limited , besides they had a great advertising board , for fellow users of this PTC site , in short everyone there was hungry for another money making idea and if I had this awesome product I wanted to promote,which I did on clickbank ,all I had to do was make enough money from the PTC site and see if anyone from the PTC site wanted to join me ,

but the factory work was abismal compared to the survice I was doing it didnt feel fair but thats where I got emotionally resistant to squeeze pages sales pages subscribe pages pages that promised everything but in the end basically just wanted your email to spam

a basic pyramid schemes of referrals

worked like this after getting introduced to link shrinking services which I sat down and watched on clicksence

adfly

adfly pays you for everyone that clicks your link, they'd get sent to an advert before being sent to the page you wanted your custemer to go ,

so it worked like this , man this is getting pretty simple , I've already destroyed my one email by getting spam so why not just sign up to this program ,after all what harm can come of it

I would disguise my Affiliate link which I got from clickbank and in adfly shorten the link then make enough money from adfly to keep my clicksence ads going, aswell as have the possibility of converting some guys in clicksence into buying this amazing product I was earning

it was all well thought out ,but I still didnt do it cos it felt wrong

anyway I had to delete my email and re-register cos the spam I got so unbearable ,in the back of my mind I was like $#@! if the FBI or CIA saw this ballsup I'd be in trouble, especially if you wanted it all neat and tidy

very funny stuff , the paranoia surrounded by it , it was like this secret I stumbled apon and now everyone I saw in average days looked like customers

getting abit side tracked here lets continue to Keywords

after developing my internal source of the mastery of making money online business

I decided to take a different route as what could possibly be used a real way to make money online was just a C@#$-tease to the potencial out there

afterall everyone infront of there PC is a potencial customer

Remember to think of each visitor as humans

its re-thinking the way to think that got me all confused and full of doubt

still didnt market my affiliate product properly

then I'd research and research and researched the new subject of my next step

Keywords

when I discovered that everything was in front of me in regards to pre selling I was still a few steps behind after all I wanted to beat my competitors so severely that I would be making money up to my ears for months and years ahead of me

this all leads up to one of the most vital piece of information I learnt on online marketing and later on opens up so many possibilities that I could source each and everyone of my ideas in such a way to get my customers where I needed them that I would almost be Authoritative when I did

and thats discovering how google works and operates

search engine optimization tactics

The SEO's secret to success hidden in plain site of everyone looking to make money online for free and not so free was

understanding how google searches for your site and how it ranks sites via Keywords

this is probably where most people follow either one or two paths and that can be described by a term SEO's use

White hat SEO's vs Black hat SEO's

first off you want to use Google Adwords tool

sign up and head for the Keywords planner

get familiar with adwords keywords planner because its one of the sites we going to use the whole time and making money on-line will basically revolve around using this tool

when using the tool you want to keep in mind that you are selling , not buying , and the keywords you going to be looking for should reflect that

adwords keywords planner helps you distinguish certain factors arriving around using certain keywords

firstly how much traffic the keyword gets , secondly how this keyword ranks on google searches

this is where we beat around the bush and talk about finding the right searches for your niche while keeping in mind that its buyers we are looking for

if I wanted to look for say Anxiety Cures

another way to get around this keyword keeping in mind we want buyers is to probebly reword our keyword around say (program to cure anxiety)

I did the search in google and its about 15million hits ,the true magic is when we hyphenate the words "program to cure anxiety" the exact search results pulled up are around 9 sites

so anyone typing program to cure anxiety as their search results will get a hand from google into showing your site with the results of the keywords program to cure anxiety

so already we can base our site around the following and dont quote me here I could be wrong on the following subjects I explained previously 

Keywords

 Program to cure anxiety 

anxiety cures 

cure anxiety 

anxiety remedies 

as you can see the list can go on and on 

Index Terms 

Subject Heading 

Program to cure Anxiety

Subject Term Anxiety cures

cure anxiety

anxiety remedies etc etc

and Descriptors

 the stuff body of the website is based off of 

example:

Cure Anxiety would be a subject term I use as a body on the website followed by Cure anxiety related posts 

Tags

 this would be all the keywords

you can also use this program called semrush.com its like a google ranking tool to check out your competitors , I recently used it on a how to make money online for free google search and on the very top of the page was a wiki answers or wiki how , thinking to myself wouldn't it be funny to see how and I knew they were an authority site how the beeping good are they at ranking for words , cos like I siad earlier think of of who-ever made that page as a human

the site ranked for every one of the keywords under the sun on adwords for the keywords make money online

but the little secret was that it ranked number one for, Make money on the net for free
they also had something like 100 backlinks that we'll get into later

cool hey

semrush for competition and adwords for keywords

onto the next step of my experience ,can you believe I haven't even done anything and all this stuff may in theory have given me a headstart in crushing my competitors, but I've barely even begun to start making money online aswell as making it for free ,

onto the next step and I promise to break it down for you in the final post firstly we needed to get the basics sorted out first before we make this even simpler and simpler intill we finally put oil in the machine and actually start , making money can be free online but also its not for free

plus if you when you get all the basics , we can move on to creating tabs for all these sites and really have the 1 2 3 process in hand

so right now we have a clickbank product we want to promote we have the relevant keywords we want to use to monotize with and we have a place were we can put our site on the search engines

1 2 3 process kind of complete

I got goosebumps just thinking about this, this is where it all starts and hopefully those that do follow this example make it far ,further than I have since this is where I got dropped off on my jurney to making money online for free

the actual moment of truth behind all the success affiliate marketers have is building a .com site

without a dot com site , all us bloggers can just sit back and watch as the people that do have money to use make it and those that dont well we simply find other ways

without a dot com site we cant reach the desired audiance ,we cant rank ,

and unless you build a fan base around your blog , it would likely be that no-one will ever stumble apon it

this is why I think my blogs are different than others , im actually writing my experiences down, rather than it looking like its been made by a professional

i've been blogging for awhile now and its a great passtime for me

my level of language isn't the best out there and personally I dont know if any other blogger has even made a blog like this one , its going to feel a little automated when I show you the exact process when it comes to making a living online and well rehearsed , I've spent maybe 3 days writing up this post so far I could of written it up in less if I wanted to , but this isnt my job , its a passtime

the best solution to bloggers earning money online is adsence , with adsence

its taken a long time to get 1 of my blogs to accept adsence and on that blog im not even selling anything , its a genuine blog I started

   so lets get started , im going to present you the shows on youtube I used to discover my online experiences

to start off with

Picking a niche on clickbank

now that you've picked your niche its time to get into how to get keywords for your niche

once you signed up to google adwords
you going to look for keywords

so now you have your keywords lets get started , the next step here is the Actual Start , the physical step to starting, Finally the first step we made it this far and the first step is here, im going to say start a few more times because it is the Start to probably the most asked question about affiliate marketing

how to start affiliate marketing
how to start earning money
how to make money
how to
steps

enough gloating from me here is the Next step

as you can tell im a straight forward type of person although I do tend to beat around the bush sometimes

I mostly picked the best type of video's

I dont know if you noticed the pages on top of my blog but I labelled them 1 2 3 4 and later on im going to add more content and examples

believe me when I say I've seen MOST if not all the types of video's on youtube and finding relevant video's concerning certain subjects can feel frustrating sometimes

especially when you really want to know something and the straightest answer is often one given in a broad term
