How To Make Real Money With Blogs

I've been on a longer vacation :-)

But now I'm back and ready for some goodies to tell you about making money online.

I have thought about 'How To Make Real Money With Blogs' a lot. I've also read a lot about it. So, this is what I came up with.

Building a blog empire is the way to go:

1. You need to decide on what niche topic your blog empire should go for. It has to be a more general subject were you can use sub categories for your blogs. And of course, it has to be a hot niche topic that everybody is interested in. Go to www.clickbank.com for this kind of information.

2. Start with about 5 blogs at www.blogger.com and www.wordpress.com.

3. Post some great information on your topics at least every second day. This is important for the Search Engines to be able to notice your blogs. Google for ideas by typing in keywords that have to do with your topics.

4. Place affiliate links to each of your posts. These links should be related to your blog theme. Also place them at the side of your blogs. Go to www.clickbank.com and find some affiliate programs that relate to your topics and sign up as an affiliate. It's easy. Just go by the step-by-step instructions.

5. Set up an Adsense account for ads to be put on your blogs. With these ads you can earn some money the easy way. And it's FREE! Place some targeted Google ads on your blogs, as this will make you money each and every time someone clicks on those ads on your blogs.

6. Write and submit 2 fresh quality articles a day for each blog to submit to article directories like www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com. After a few weeks you should see some excellent targeted traffic coming your way.

7. Get a domain name for each of your affiliate programs and re-direct these domains to your affiliate links, as the above article directories will not accept affiliate links. But they are still the greatest to go with.

I know, I know! It sound impossible to write posts in about 5 blogs and write 2 articles a day for these blogs. But you can re-write your blog entries to articles with 300-550 words, or so. Other marketers write 10 to 20 articles a day! You get used to it and then it will come easy to you.

If you stick to it, this can make you very wealthy. It has made many determined marketers rich. Believe me!

Start right now. It's fun!

"Mini Site Profits Exposed" - Product Review

Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or money to set up, and once you've got one up and running, you can sit back and just collect money from all the sales you're making.

At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and money to set up. So why is it that so few people actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that runs completely on autopilot. The good news is...


*************************************************
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************


Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course that will walk you through the process of creating a killer mini site from the ground up, and then he'll also teach you how to actually start making money with it right away and into the future.

If you've been looking for help with monetizing your mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The best part? The videos are FREE! I'll tell you more about that later. First, let's talk about the videos themselves.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:





*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************


It's important to note that these are online videos that you access from your web browser. Michael uses Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the premier software program for creating screen capture tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button on the first video was the incredible production quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture videos. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen someone make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing product. They sound like they were recorded in a professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he set out to create something different in order to raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you'll agree that he has succeeded.

Now let's move onto...


*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************


Here's a brief summary of each video. Obviously it's impossible to list every single thing here,but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.

If you're in a hurry, you can just check the videos out right now for free. Here's the URL:





VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION


This videos introduces you to the entire course, as well as the teacher himself. You'll learn what you can expect from the course, and why it's structured the way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him, and so he spends some time establishing his credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest successes. It doesn't come across as bragging at all. Michael explains that, in order for you to get value from the teachings, you need to have faith that the teacher actually knows what he's talking about. By the end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us product developers. If you want people to accept you as an authority on any subject, you first need to establish your credibility with the reader. That way he's willing to relax, and trust that what you're telling him is sound advice.


VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS


This video will introduce you to the basics of mini site marketing. This will set the foundation that all future learning will rest upon, so it's important to pay close attention to this one.

You'll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of kicking things off, and building the foundation for the rest of the course.


VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES


This is probably one of the most useful videos of the entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is 'squeeze pages'. This video will teach you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process that will make sure that people actually receive your email.

After watching this video, you'll know everything you need to know to start building a massive opt-in list right away. This will probably be the first video that you 'take action' on. You'll be so excited about the possibilities, that I guarantee you'll go and create your own squeeze page right away.


VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART ONE


Nothing happens until the sales copy is written. Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the mysterious process of writing words that make people whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you'll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that practically forces your readers to go through your entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your success than the ability to write killer sales copy.Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as well as...


VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART TWO


This video dives right into the individual components of a killer sales letter. You'll learn how to create the "secret structure" of a mini site sales letter that makes big money. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people's shoulders, so they'll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your 'call to action', and get people to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail, especially considering that this course is not specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational products.


VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT


Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot. The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic, and letting the site itself do all the work, including the work of instantly delivering the product to the customer.

This video will walk you through the process of automating your product delivery, so you can just relax, and collect the money. The best part is... once you have this automated system set up, you never have to touch it again.


VIDEO 7 - HOW TO "GROW" YOUR SALE


This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced marketers. Michael dives into some of the most effective 'upselling' techniques that I've ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a thorough tutorial on how to increase the 'size' of your orders. You'll learn:

* The psychology of 'upselling', and how to use it make your customer spend even more money with you. The best part? He'll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This one will surprise you when you realize how much money you've been leaving on the table by skipping this step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to 100%.

If you've already got a mini site that's up and running, this video will make a big difference for you right away. Use any of these 'plug and profit' strategies to increase your income literally overnight!


VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES FORCE


If there's one thing I've noticed that all successful marketers have in common, it's that they have a great affiliate program. They create a program that allows other people to make good money by promoting their products, and they get to just sit back and relax, while everyone else is doing the hard work of promoting FOR them.

If you've ever dreamed of having an army of motivated sales people working hard to make you money, then you're going to love this video. Michael will teach you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates (most people miss the mark here, so pay extra attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough to convince people to sign up, and what you can do instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.


VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID


Let's face it... it's not enough to explain what you should do. You also need to know what mistakes you should avoid. Michael has already made these costly mistakes, but you don't have to. You'll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover... and how to capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a mini site, and how you can apply this 'instant fix'.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your mini-site (it's not what you think, and making this mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your long-term profits.


VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A PRODUCT FUNNEL


This video will walk you through the process of designing a product line that will make you a TON of money. There's a lot more to it than you'd think, which is why this important concept (which was taken from direct marketing) gets it's own video.

After watching this video, you'll understand why you can't just have a single front end product, and you'll know exactly what to do in order to get your customer to keep buying more and more expensive products from you... completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who wants to make a lot of money from their online business.


VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE


The title of this video says it all. You'll learn all of Michael's secrets for getting top notch freelancers to help you create your mini site empire in record time.

Let's face it, you can't be an expert at everything that mini sites require. For example, it's really tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer copywriter, on top of also creating the product itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be efficient, and begin making money as fast as possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it happen. This video will show you exactly what to do, as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls to avoid.


VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE


Let's face it... it doesn't matter how great your mini site is if you don't get any traffic coming toit. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing and mysterious parts of making money online IF you don't get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a lightning fast education in this area. Specifically, you'll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you're done with this video, you'll know what to do right away to begin driving targeted visitors to your mini site.

Wow, you get all those videos for free? Click here to check out the Mini Site Profits Exposed course for yourself:





*************************************************
DELUXE VIDEOS
*************************************************


Mini Site Profits Exposed comes with 12 videos, and has more content than most 300 dollar home study courses. And did I mention that it's free?

If you decide that you want to continue your education, and get the biggest possible advantage, you can also upgrade to the deluxe course for a small fee. The deluxe course contains four full-length videos that each cover one advanced topic in great detail.

Here's a breakdown of each video:


VIDEO 13 - DESIGNING A KILLER BACK END THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT


This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in itself. It walks you though the entire process of setting up a back end that is completely automated using an autoresponder system.

You'll learn how to set up your autoresponder to automatically remove a person from your prospect list after he buys, and then insert him into your customer list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence will start promoting your back end products automatically.

Bottom line... if you want to make the big bucks like all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a back end that works hard for you while you're out creating new mini sites and developing new products. This video will show you how.


VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS


In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through some of his best tactics for growing a massive list from your mini site. He'll not only teach you what to add to your mini site, but he'll also show you what you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you five different things you can offer your readers to get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You'll also learn the best places to actually put the opt-in email form on your mini site. You'll also learn about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your list.

I have a hunch that you'll find yourself referring to this video over and over again.

When you think about all the 'stuff' you can do to drive traffic to your site, it's hard to know what you should focus on first. This video will walk you through the four most important marketing activities you can do to drive traffic to your mini site.

Once you master these four, you'll never have to wonder what you should do when you start a new mini site. You'll have an easy-to-follow road map for driving tons of targeted prospects to your site, so you can begin making money ASAP!


VIDEO 16 - MAKE MAXIMUM PROFITS FROM YOUR MINI SITE
