After I set it up (took 5) minutes I built an autoresponder real quick. For the autoresponder all I really did was search for some good tips and rewrote them and I am sending one out each day. I haven’t added any affiliate links yet in the emails, still trying to figure out the best way to do this.

While all this is going on I wrote 1 article and submitted to ezinearticles. I will post a link to it so you can see how I am preselling when it goes live. In addition to that I just gave a job to some of my writers at Hire Writers to make me 6 more articles. Again, Ill post a link to all those when they are live.

Now I am just waiting for them to be approved and I will go on with the next step and that is attempting to get the articles in the top 30 for their category so it will get duplicated on the max amount of websites.

Here is what we have done so far and what is left to do.

1. Find a Clickbank niche
2. Find great long tail keywords
3. Write a fairly decent article
4. Post on Ezinearticles
5. Pay Microworkers to Stumble my article on Ezinearticles
6. Rinse and repeat

I used to do this a different way but I am going to attempt a new approach. The first keyword that struck me was “how to write songs” which has 60,000 searches a month. So then I will do a search on the tool for that one to narrow it down some. Once I did a search for that I noticed the keyword “how to write your own songs” which doesn’t have too many searches but this is the type of keyword we are looking to target using bum marketing. Not to mention it would make an easy title to write an article about.

Now lets test the results in google. It returns 50 Million results which would normally turn a bunch of people off but you should never go by that number because it doesn’t help one bit. The reason the number is so high because of words within the keyword like “how”, “your”, and “own” which are used all the time.

Instead start out with a search with the term in quotes for an exact match. So 1.7 million pages on the internet use this exact term. That seems a little high for this but lets keep going. Next I will check how many pages have those words in the title. Only 74 which means to me that it wouldn’t be hard to rank for this keyword at all. Lets just take it back one step to the keyword that has 60,000 searches a month and do a search for that. Still not bad at all for that one which means we could possible get traffic from the better keyword.

Finally this is where I am going to try something new that I have noticed for awhile and that is just to judge the results of the first page by memory. So I did a search for the keyword and I see that there are 2 sites in the top 10 that I recognize which is wikihow and ehow. Sites that I am looking for are these types of sites including squidoo, blogger, wordpress, article sites, ect. If those sites are ranking well then I should be able to. That is ALL the research that I will do to make it very quick and should be effective.

Now that we have the keyword it is time to create the first article which I will cover in the next post.

As per my previous post here is the steps that I need to take.

1. Find a Clickbank niche
2. Find great long tail keywords
3. Write a fairly decent article
4. Post on Ezinearticles
5. Pay Microworkers to Stumble my article on Ezinearticles
6. Rinse and repeat

1. The niche I chose for this tutorial is on Songwriting. I chose this one due to it being new and the landing page is not that bad. Also this niche is not highly competitive so I most likely will be able to find some great keywords for this one which will bring some easy targeted traffic.

So I went ahead and created a landing page that my articles will be pointing to. On the landing page I just linked a good youtube video that gives a few tips. Really just added it as a teaser.

Then of course is the most important email capture. The plan is to build an email list and do a small auto responder series. For the auto responder content I scoured the web looking for PLR songwriting material and came up blank. So what I did instead is just grabbed some tips off of ezinearticles that was already published and turned that into my auto responder.

The plan is to explain how hard it is to become a successful songwriter and prepare them for a ton of work. That is how I am preselling this product. Even though I am giving them decent tips on songwriting I want to discourage them a bit from going ahead with this unless they get some real help (the affiliate product).

Next post will cover how I found the first keyword that I will target.

If you read my last post you can see that I shifting my main focus over to content writing. I know this is not a high paying job but I think it is what I need since I can’t handle website maintenance while in the Navy. So for the most part I will just be doing freelance copywriting for now until I actually get some time to make some serious money again. The site actually took off pretty good. In a week so far the site sold around 60,000 words total which is only $600 but that’s not really too bad in a little over a week.

As for some side work I am thinking about doing I will give you a taste of what I am thinking. First off to go along with the writing aspect I most likely will be doing some bum marketing. The key to this one is actually very simple. Pay attention because you might learn something.

1. Find a Clickbank niche
2. Find great long tail keywords
3. Write a fairly decent article
4. Post on Ezinearticles
5. Pay Microworkers to Stumble my article on Ezinearticles
6. Rinse and repeat

I will go through all of these steps and why to do it in another post and will most likely use a live example of what I am doing step by step. For everyone that has registered here before to view my hidden content I deleted that list and removed that plugin. The biggest reason I did this is because it was well over my Hostgator email limit so most emails were not being sent and I don’t feel like modding the script to use a different mail server. So you will no longer get email notifications.
