Why Do Only 1% of Online Marketers Make Any Money

Sunday, March 9, 2014

What if you could wiggle your nose and instantly have a quality website with many hundreds of pages of content in a semi-popular niche? Do you think you could make money with that site? ...duh...stupid question.
Most of the new Internet marketers I work with are far too focused on "making money" in the beginning. Usually that mode of operation simply leads to frustration at first. Instead, allow me to offer another perspective on the topic of achieving Internet marketing success.
Let's use the proverbial "dog training website" as an example. Dog training is just an example. There are thousands of other possibilities which can work just as well.
What if you began today and wrote just one page daily for your new dog training website? Also, assume you know about SEO and will apply those basic techniques to each page. (I highly suggest working in a niche for this project in which you have plenty of knowledge and/or interest in.)
Please don't think, "There is no area I know enough about." EVERYONE has knowledge about or interest in something that will work. In every single case which I have helped someone brainstorm this issue, I have always found something in their range of knowledge and interests that would work.
Imagine the size of your site in just 2 or 3 years of spending 20 minutes a day! It could contain 1000 pages or more! Besides attracting a LOT of traffic with the keywords you optimized each page for, a site that size casts a LARGE net and will snag many thousands of "rogue" searches each month.
For example, our 100 page CactusCanyon.com site gets over 5000 page views each month from long tail keywords I never intended to optimize for. It would not surprise me if a 1000 page site in a good area would easily get 40,000 to 50,000 page views a month from "unintended SEO"...not to mention how much traffic would come from the intended optimization!
Don't sabotage this idea by assuming it would be impossible to come up with ideas for a 1000 pages of content. Simply open up Google's keyword tool and look for keywords using a variety of forms of your keyword. For example searches for dog training, training dogs, how to train dogs, dog training tips, and on and on will result in thousands of page topics...ditto for most niches.
Success really is this simple:
o Pick a niche you are interested in and one where people spend money.
o Research and list the keywords you will use for the content.
o Learn basic on and off page SEO and apply those methods to the pages.
o Begin writing and publishing an article a day.
You will not have to wait 2 years to begin seeing success. Whether you monetize your site with Adsense, affiliate products, or selling your own physical or digital products, results will begin showing up sooner than you think.
Yet, just IMAGINE what you will have going for you in 2 or 3 years!
Sadly, 99 out of 100 people who read this will never take the required action to make the plan work. Most simply can't see the big picture. They want a quick method and don't have the self-discipline to invest the work and time into something which won't payoff by next week or even next month.
