Fastest Way To Get Top 10 In The Search Engines

This is an article to show you the fastest way to get top 10 in the search engines for your own website. This method always works, especially for keywords with low competition. But there are some factors you need to consider before using it.

Ok, here is the method in summary:

Simply use the keywords that you want to rank for as the domain name of your website.

For example, if you want to get top 10 rank for “migraine headache relief”, you can name your website as one of the followings:

migraineheadacherelief (.com, .net or .org)
migraine-headache-relief (.com, .net or .org)

If those domain names are not available, you can add a prefix or suffix such as my, site, guide etc. For example,

mymigraineheadacherelief.com
migraineheadachereliefsite.com
migraineheadachereliefguide.com

The idea is to include the keywords in your domain name.

Before using this strategy, there are some issues you should consider:

1) It’s not a loophole

This method works for competitive keywords. If you don’t believe, search for ‘acne’ and see which website ranks top.

But this method is NOT a loophole.

You still need to build links into your homepage.

The only difference is you need lesser links compared to websites without the keywords in the domain names.

This brings us to the next important point - keyword research.

2) Keyword research

The more competitive the keywords, the more links you need and the longer time it takes for you to get top rank for that keywords.

As a start, it would be a better idea to aim for less competitive keywords.

How do you know if a keyword phrase is competitive?

Simple. Below are my personal checklist:

i) Google search result for that keyword phrase should have less than 500,000 results.

ii) Some of the webpages in the top 10 results should have a PR less than 3.

iii) Some of the webpages in the top 10 results are internal pages of Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, Blogger.com, Ezinearticles.com and/or Buzzle.com.

If I found a keyword phrase that satisfies all the 3 criteria, plus the keyword phrase has a good demand, I know that I’ve found another gold.

3) Branding

If you think domain name such as migraineheadacherelief.com looks ugly, you are absolutely right!

But if I am creating an affiliate site or Adsense site, I don’t really care whether my domain name looks professional.

If I’m creating a website that requires some form of branding, I may have to give this trick a pass. Alternatively, I will try to include as many keywords as possible while making sure that the domain name looks professional.

How To Create An Online Business

Today we are going to continue our discussion on how to create an online business using the free LeadsLeap M.Y.O.B List Builder Script.

Let’s recap what we’ve discussed so far…

In our previous discussion on What Are The Steps In Creating An Online Business, I told you that there are only 3 steps in creating an online business. They are:

1. Choose an online business model
2. Create a website to deliver the model
3. Promote the website.

Out of these 3 steps, the most important step is Step Number One, choosing an online business model.

Your online business model can make or break your entire business. It determines whether you’re struggling to make ends meet or prospering everyday.

I’ve also showed you a powerful business model that can help you to build a list and make immediate cash at the same time.

I need to emphasize the importance of making immediate cash. The cash is not for you to keep. It’s for you to fund your expansion plan and advertising costs.

Recently someone come out with a new term called “Funded Proposal”. The idea is to build a list and entice your new prospect to purchases a low cost product. The profit from this initial sale is used to cover your marketing cost, which means the prospect has essentially paid for itself to be on your list.

The idea of a funded proposal can easily be achieved with the M.Y.O.B List Builder Script.

In another previous discussion on How to Create Profitable Business Ideas, I have shown you how to create an irresistible one-time-offer. If you combine the idea into the script and putting everything together, you will build yourself a powerful “fully funded” online business.

Ok, enough recap.

Today, I want to show to how to structure your online business. It can be a little technical, but it’s important.

When you create an online business, you have to make sure that your business model is created for different traffic sources. The reason is obvious - you want to get traffic from as many sources as possible.

First, you must understand that different traffic sources are good for different business models. Say if you have a blog, you can’t really use traffic exchange or PPC advertising to drive traffic there. Well, technically you can, but you are not keeping the traffic. The traffic will simply ‘flow through’ your blog.

Or if you have a squeeze page, you can’t really get much traffic from the search engine because there are very few keywords you can optimize with just 1 squeeze page.

So when you create an online business, you have to take a multiple prong approach. Here’s my “Best Of Trio” proposal:

1) Install the M.Y.O.B. script as the home page.

This is your main offer page where you give away a “too-good-to-reject” offer.

You can promote this page with almost any traffic generation methods, from PPC advertising, traffic exchange all the way to article marketing.

2) Install a wordpress blog under a sub-directory, say yourdomain.com/blog.

This blog serves two purposes:

i) It will eventually become a magnet to the search engine traffic.

ii) It’s a great way for you to communicate with your list and build rapport.

iii) Start your own affiliate program.

With the M.Y.O.B List Builder Script, you can easily run your own affiliate program. Having your own affiliate program is important because it allows you to leverage on another powerful traffic generation method, i.e. viral marketing.

For example, you can get the Master Rebranding Rights to Affiliate ID Manager and give it to your affiliates. They in turn will give it away to other people in an effort to make some affiliate commissions and promote their other programs at the same time.
PS: If you simply want a copy of the software for your personal use (i.e. the non-rebrandable version), you can download it here.

I hope you can now see that with the Trio working together, you will be able to get traffic from almost every traffic source available online. This is my proposal of how everyone can create an online business, especially a “built-to-last” and “profitable-from-the-start” online business. Set up your own Trio and start your own online business today!

How to Create Profitable Business Ideas

I think it is “timely” that we talk about how to create profitable business ideas for your online business.

Why is it timely? Here’s why…

I released our brand new List Builder Script, free for all LeadsLeap members. Shortly after the release, I received many emails from members asking what are the business ideas that can be used with the script.

Now, technically speaking, the script can be used for any niche and any business idea. The only problem is some business ideas may be more profitable than the others.

Today, I’ll show you how to create profitable business ideas.

First, you have to decide which niche market to focus on and whether the niche is profitable.

If I were to start another online business tomorrow, I will have to make sure that……

1) The market has an ongoing supply of new products that I can promote.

2) People’s interest in that niche do not change too quickly. For example, I will not use the List Builder Script to build a business around “spyware removal” because once I provide them with the solution, they are not likely to want to hear from me again.

3) People in the niche are always craving for more information.

4) There are many affiliates in the niche that I can contact and JV with.

5) There are established websites where I can find lots of people interested in the niche. This is to ensure that I can easily find targeted traffic for my new business, through advertising or striking deals with the webmasters.

Examples of good niches are internet marketing, stock trading, forex trading, body building, holistic health and personal improvement.

If I found a niche that I see a potential in, I will ask myself 2 questions.

1) Can I find/create a useful product to giveaway?
2) Can I find/create a high value product to sell?

1) Can I find/create a useful product to giveaway?

In some niches, you can find some PLR products that you can give away. This is by far the fastest way to kick start your online business.

Another way is to create your own product, which may not be difficult at all.

The trick is to create something that is useful to the people in the niche.

Here is one idea that I just think off my head.

For example, You can create an ebook called “Online Scam Report - A complete list of scam (or near scam) programs you should avoid before you become the next victim”. Just go to Google.com and search for “scam”. You will be able to find websites discussing about different scam programs. Your job is to compile those programs into a book or if you are lazy, get a freelancer to do it.

2) Can I find/create a high value product to sell?

This is an important part in making sure that your business idea is profitable.

A profitable business idea should be able to help you generate immediate profit so as to fund your future expansion and cover your advertising costs.

This can easily be done with the One-Time-Offer feature in the free LeadsLeap List Builder Script and a powerful strategy that I’m going to share with you now.

The idea is to create a high value product worth thousands of dollars, write a sales letter that looks as if you are going to sell it for $197, and offer it for $9. This idea has never failed to work!

If you are in the internet marketing niche, the easiest way is to compile a huge package of PLR and MRR products that worth thousands of dollars.

Alternatively, you can create a high value product on your own.

For example, I’ve seen people giving away 1 website template and offer 10 website templates for $5 as a one time offer. This is a good and profitable business idea because website templates have high perceived values. At a great offer of $5, you bet a lot of people will bite.

Creating profitable business ideas is not rocket science. Once you can identify a profitable niche, all you have to do is to think of something useful to giveaway for list building purpose and something of high value to sell it cheap for immediate profit. Together with other backend sales, it is almost guaranteed that you’ll have a profitable business in both the short run and long run.

Creative Marketing Incentives Inc

Interestingly, there are a couple of reasons why people either fail in this business, or, do not take the first step into it to begin with.
Firstly, one must take action.
This is a huge problem for many as unfortunately, due to the over-abundance of advertising leading people to believe otherwise - you will not get rich overnight and quit your day-job tomorrow. Sitting around in your underwear and only doing 20 minutes work each day by pressing a couple of buttons, is certainly achievable - but first you have to learn how it all works. If cut-and-paste is still beyond you, your learning curve is going to be somewhat steep before the money miraculously starts flooding the bank account.
I , unfortunately, had the misfortune of dealing with 2 of the children running the show at Creative Marketing Incentive Group Inc.

My first call was with a Mr. Shane Higgins, National Account Executive and Senior Marketing Consultant. The slight street slang, and pubescent crackle in his voice immediately indicated I was not dealing with an A, B, or even C level salesman. Shane proceeded to barrage me with strong arm tactics to try and sell his free gas vouchers. Tactics included; insulting his competitors, snide comments when pressed about the validity of his business, doling out unsolicited business advice like "you should change the name of your business," and telling his potential customers to "Fuck Off!"

I had, at last, gotten my fill of Shane Higgins. Ultimately, I decided to take the matter into my own hands and report Shane to the C.O.O of the company, whom I suspect is also the owner. Mr. Peter Albee.

Side Note - My efforts to get past the thug receptionist were many. It seems he has been well versed in handling an upset customer.

When I finally did make it to a nervous Mr. Albee, he immediately placed me on hold. I was surprised when the phone was again received by Shane. When I asked Shane why I was speaking to the person who I was trying to report, he told me I could try to call back as much as I'd like, but nobody would answer because they were "out for the day."

I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with gas voucher companies before, and let me be the first to warn you that 99.9% are scams and rip-offs.
However, of them all, I find Creative Marketing Incentive Group Inc. to be the worst.

Clearly Creative Marketing Incentive Group Inc. is a small operation run by small minded children. As a business owner myself, I would be ashamed to call Creative Marketing Incentive Group Inc. my own.

As they say...

Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware
Making money online can be a wonderful lifestyle. No boss, work when you want and no dead-lines. Making money on the internet is unlike anything applied to offline, or bricks-and-mortar money making efforts. Having said that, it pays to be aware of the fact that making money online is not going to happen overnight. Even the fastest way to do it, will not happen without a lot of effort on anyone's part - regardless of what the internet advertising would have you believe.
