Make Money Online For Beginners RECAP

This is partly for you and partly for me, but let's do a quick recap of what I've done so far. Every week or 2 I'll do a recap so you can see where you are in relationship to me, if you've tried anything new, or if you're missing something or some way to make money online or SEO (search engine optimization).

1. Choose a niche (topic)

2. Figure out keywords for your niche - write these down. You should have long trail keywords, too. Long trail keywords are, for example if your niche is golf balls. It's going to be hard to rate on google page 1 for gold balls, so start with a long trail. How about blue golf balls. "blue gold balls" is your long trail. But don't go too far. If your long trail is "blue golfballs that double as ping pong balls" no one is going to search for that. You might rank well, but it won't matter.

3. Create a blog around your niche including a few original articles loaded with your keywords (but not too loaded) find the balance.

4. Get your website/blog indexed by google and get keyword anchors and backlinks
A. get indexed
a- yahoo answers
B. keyword anchors
b- goarticles
c- ezinearticles
d-hubpages
e- squidoo
f- any others - I listed a few others in the posts
C. Backlinks
g- connectcontent

(this is just a skeleton of what I have done - these are the main points. No two systems will be identical but this is what has been working best for me)

5. Keep track of your stats on statcounter.

6. Sign up for google adsense and affiliate sites such as clickbank, amazon associates, etc (those are the only 2 I've used so far. Next on my list is the ebay one).

7. Wait until you have a steady flow of *ORGANIC* traffic, meaning search engine traffic. I waited until I had 100 unique visitors, you should probably wait a little longer though. Then start to monetize your site.

Tip - the way I see it, the longer you wait to monetize, the better in the long run because google ranks sites that are not monetized higher than sites that are. I just wanted to go with it so I did, but I would suggest you wait a little longer than I have.

That's about it. Next time on Make Money Online for Beginners I will be talking about google adsense.
