Tired of BS guru mailing lists? Want real actionable strategies to stay on top of the Internet Marketing game, and make a killing online? This ProProfits Market Action newsletter is for you...
Affiliate marketing - being what it is this day and age can be a tough riddle to crack. I still believe though that even with the competition-filled world of marketing others’ products to make money online, it is still one the easiest and best start-up businesses on the Internet.
If you think about it, a lot of the so called "marketing gurus" you see having these million dollar launches, multiple business operations, and pulling in the big money online, started as a lowly affiliate.
The key to affiliate marketing, in my opinion, is continual growth and establishment as an authority in whatever niche you choose to pursue. Of course, you don’t simply have to choose one niche and stick with it. I recommend starting with one niche in which you are interested, but of course as you continue in your career you need to expand your operations.
Of course, there’s no need to follow the script, and ironically it might be easiest to start pulling in some cash not sticking to this strategy.
I find one of the most common thing the "newbie" marketer needs when starting out is confidence. Just something, whether it be a couple affiliate sales, some new subscribers, or even a sale or two of your own low-end product.
Assessing the competition and picking the right niche to go after can be complicated, if you decide to fully invest your efforts into one niche. Your other option to avoid the disappointment of investing all of the time and effort into a niche that yields little or no return - is to simply very little time and effort into several niches each of which may yield up to maybe $5-10 a month. Now, that doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you build up a portfolio of small niche sites over a period of time, you are continually increasing your monthly income. So say over a period of three months, you build a total of 50 niche sites each averaging a profit of 10 bucks a month, that’s a residual income of $500.
What I’ve done recently is develop a strategy that even the lowliest of newbie, no-idea marketers can put to work right away to gradually build up a small residual income monthly. Simply put, just a couple extra bucks a month to be used to further their real marketing efforts. What could you do with an extra $300 Adwords budget this month? Think you could put it to use?
As you know, I’m continually searching out services, web apps, software, or any information I can get my hands on to add an extra element to my marketing efforts. I do pretty well with list building and product promotion, but I also like to dip into the SEO money-pool every once in a while and I find it to be quite a profitable venture.
One newer SEO tool I’ve found is what’s called a Reverse Google Index by the name of SEO Digger. What it does is allow you to find keywords that a site ranks for in the top 20 of Google. Simply, you put in a URL and it spits out the keywords it’s ranking highly for in Google.
If you’ve got a marketing or SEO bone in your body, you can probably imagine the things you can do with this free tool, also combining it with the multitude of other free SEO and marketing tools online. A huge absolutely free ProProfits report is in the works, with full details of a complete strategy you can start using.
Hang around the blog or subscribe to our feed and you’ll be one of the first ones to get it, and consequently have an advantage over the other guy. Of course, there are thousands of niches you can capitalize on, and there won’t be a shortage for anyone, anytime soon. That being said - I am going to limit the amount of copies I give away of this report so as not to over-saturate the method (even though it couldn’t happen for a hundred years).
Remember though, the early bird gets the worm
..
Until then, I’m going to give a quick assignment you can do right now. First think about the low hanging fruit (longtail keywords) that you can capitalize on if you participate in an activity like Bum Marketing. Now think about some sites people use to capitalize on this low hanging fruit.
Now heres where it really gets fun…
Devise a plan to perhaps take advantage of the people who have already found this low hanging fruit using SEO Digger. and a tool like NicheBot Classic or Wordtracker. That should get you on a good path until you can get your hands on the full strategy I’m releasing in this free report exclusively for ProProfits readers.
Be creative, and have a bit of fun why dont ya’. Shoot me a quick email if you’d like to share an especially cool technique you’ve devised to make a couple extra bucks with these tool. I’d love to hear from you.

Yeah, SEOdigger is a really nifty little tool for maximizing some your existing content and making some extra cash of your site. I like the way that you can see which keywords you are ranking for organically and it helps me keep on track with clients websites too.
All in all it’s one of the niftiest tools I have used in a while.
Hi Twenty20,
Glad you enjoyed it.
