I started
I started ! I started to create residual income with a money blog earlier in February. A lot has happen since early February. I now own 4 blogs.
So I went through Steve Crook's blog (the 100buckschallenge.com) and read about how he does it.
Then I looked for a good niche using the Google Adword tool. The set of keywords I choose had to fit those criteria in Google Adword tool: above 3000 searches per month, an average CPC higher than 8$ not too much competition.
Then I verified that the set of keywords of interest was available in .com, which it was :) I signed up for an account on a host server, registered the domain et voilà.
Okay that was only the first step. Then I had to start added content to my site. I wrote about 40 articles in about 1 month and started promoting my website doing SEO.
SEO :
- started social marking my website and each post (and making sure I was also social marking other articles and sites so I would not get ban from the social marking sites for spamming)
- started registering for blogs and adding my links in my signature
- started commenting on blogs and online journals, with a backlink within my signature
- I also started using "Angela's packages", which happen to be the best thing on earth in terms of SEO, for a few bucks a month
- I sent a few articles to Ezines with a backlink to my website
- I created a squidoo lense, with a backlink to my website
- I added XML sitemap to my blog
During the process, I got to read a lot about other people achievement, and their way of doing stuff. That's when I learned about long-tail keyword. I read about that guy who found a long-tail keyword, with very very low competition and a lot of searches. Apparently that long-tail keyword worked out so well for him that he is set for life. That's when I decided to look for more a long-tail keyword. That long-tail keyword had to have a lot of searches, good CPC, and be available in .com. After I found it, I registered the domain and started writing articles right away and had about 20 articles after 2 weeks.
After over 2 months of intense SEO works, my two blogs are starting to show up... slowly...
