I’m going to remove Market Samurai from the course requirement. I’m going to teach the class using the Wordtracker free keyword tool instead. Or the Google adwords keyword tool.
MS is a great tool, but the more I look at it, the more I realize I could teach a 6 week course on using the tool its self and it’s really geared towards a more advanced student. So don’t buy it if you’re planning on taking our affiliate marketing class.
Currently I’m building a site from the ground up for Allout Carpet Care here in Kona. I sent John the screen cast below after the first day of work on his site so he can see the direction I’m going in. The great thing about this is there won’t be any surprise when the site is done.
What a load of crap! What I’m referring to is the article on the front page of the July 23rd edition of West Hawaii Today. The article said that the economy was going to be flat for some time to come, according to some academic the API interviewed.
The scholar also said that people over 53 who are unemployed have no chance of ever getting another job, and they’re basically out of the job market for the rest of their life. Like I said, what a load of crap! You can’t listen to people like that, they’re idiots.
I guess that would be true if you decided to lay down and die. Deep breath… exhale. Aah, better. OK, let’s pretend the grand poo-bah is right. Then you better start thinking about starting your own business.
I haven’t had a job in 15 years. Nor do I care to have one now. I’ve been running my own business the last decade and a half. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Yes.
The great thing about having your own business is: you are in charge of your own destiny. Work hard, you eat good. Sluff off and you eat dirt. If you’re lazy, it’s probably best to get some kind of government job. You’ll fit right in.
If you’re a hard worker and you can’t stand people telling you what to do, you’re a good candidate to become an entreprenuer. But doing what? It should be something you’re interested in. Then you won’t mind doing it all the time. What ever it is, if it’s successful, chances are you will be doing it all the time.
What ever it is you like to do, chances are good there is a way to turn it into an online business. The key is, find a market related to your interest that people are spending money in and target them with a niche theme website.
In my affiliate marketing class I’ll show you how to use Amazon.com to find your perfect niche.
In the mean time, if you’re over 50 and you’re unemployed. Keep knocking on doors. You will get a job if that’s what you want. Don’t listen to the national news. It’ll rot your brain.
There’s no point going into a niche that has no products you can sell directly or be an affiliate for. This video shows you how to check commercial potential.
This video is an introduction into the SEO competition module in Market Samurai. If you’re not sure what SEO means. It’s simply short for search engine optimization. Which is key to getting lots of targeted visitors to your website.
