Evaluation

$200 is a nice monthly extra income for blogging about the things I really love: pets, making money online, some mindfree sexy gossip and SEO.

If you analyse my Month 6: $ 713.18 earnings, you know where I earn my big money It’s easier to walk a flat surface than to climb a steep slope when it comes to earning money. What that means for you, you have to fill in yourself. For me that means making money online like I make money offline: teaching French.

It all boils down to:

how much do you want to earn
how much do you want to write about something you really love
how much time do you want to invest

Time is money, and I recommend you buy time purchasing 2 ebooks that have proven to work. Don’t buy 20 ebooks, because that’s just confirming yourself that the first 19 were not that good to start with.

I recommend Atomic Blogging for people:

who want to start a new blog
who have been blogging a while but don’t have much quality visitors

I recommend Easy SEO using Squidoo for people:

• who know how to write articles like people who are great in writing paid to blog posts -PayPerPost, Smorty, Linkworth. Especially PayPerPost users that have seen their PageRank going down: you can now leverage your writing skills on Squidoo and see your PageRank only going up there!
• who don’t want to loose time writing a complete blog (work smart in stead of too hard!)

Linky Love’s future

I could equally say: "all you need to know to make money on the Internet can be found in a dictionary"… You can’t deny the words aren’t there, but the general idea and the hard work combined won’t be revealed that easily…

Secret number 1: HYPE it BABY

Which blog do you prefer:

• Linky Love making 200$ a month or
• John Chow making 10.000$ a month

John Chow of course!

Unfortunately John Chow is showing his gross income and Linky Love is showing her net income. Yes, that’s a monthly $200 without having paid a single cent on anything. That an awful lot of delicious Starbucks coffees just because I have a blog called Linky Love

Secret number 2: HIDE it BABY

What I didn’t tell you is that one year ago I did pay my affordable web hosting and invested in ebooks where:

• you can learn fast how to blog better with Atomic Blogging and
• you can learn fast how to make money online WITHOUT a blog.

Yes, those secrets you need to pay for but using their secrets I can make more than $200 so the investment pays itself back in no time

But your title is about SEO secrets…

True, and we will tackle those secrets now.

The author of Atomic Blogging in his latest post demystifies the secret to rank high for long keyword sentences.

He hides the 2 secrets

1. that with his Keyword Research Tool that ships with Atomic Blogging, you can find out exactly which long keyword-phrases are in low supply in the search engines…
   … and …
2. that even without a blog you can easily rank number 1 for those keyword sentences on Squidoo if you know the Squidoo secrets which I will hide also, hey, like Kelly: I am a niche marketer as well you know

The secret of long keyword sentences

First you can understand that it is practically impossible for you to imagine which long keyword sentences people are looking for.

What do you think people look for the most:

1. girl gets raped in public in a malaysian pub
2. girl gets rape in public in malaysia pub

Well, according to the Keyword Research Tool, nobody is looking for the first so called correct English sentence, but 4 people a day are looking for the second…

How fast can you rank high with girl gets rape in public in malaysia pub?
Well, content is king when it comes to ranking high!

But it helps to know that there are 0 other pages in Google that are optimizing their page for that long keyword-phrase:

And it helps when other people add an extra link to that page like so girl gets rape in public in malaysia pub

BUT you say: nobody is going to be so statistically amazing that he or she will link to me using that exact keyword-phrase?

TRUE! That’s where you come in! You write a stunning article on Squidoo using all the tricks of the trade to rank high on Squidoo and you will have a high profile link pointing to your page with the long keyword sentence.

How long does it take to rank high?

About 1 hour ago!

As you can see the article girl gets rape in public in malaysia pub was written today and already is ranking number 1 for more than 1 hour at the same day… Need to say more?

Real secrets you buy

No need to hype, no need to read so called secrets that nobody is going to tell you claiming they are telling them to you…

secrets you can only buy!

Investment: Atomic Blogging $49 + Ranking high using Squidoo $27 minus 1 month of $200 earnings leaves me with $122 for Starbucks coffees, shoes, restaurant meals in one month and

an EXTRA $200 EACH MONTH for:

• more Starbucks coffees,
• healthy treats for my pets,
• a manicure and
• a pedicure,
• a spa treatment and
• maybe even a new hand-phone

It seems the order button at Atomic Blogging has disappeared, maybe they are going to raise their price pretty soon…

Since this is a question about making money, of course we tackle it here

How to make money

This is a broad question, so we will condense everything in one post, which means for deeper explanations about making money, please ask a more specific question!

1. Let money make more money

• buy wisdom and use it to your benefit!
• buy a product and resell it
• buy a few products, recombine them and sell it (buy water, sugar and fruit and sell it as marmalade)
• put your money in a savings account
• put your money in funds
• put your money in the stock market but make sure you know what you are doing, otherwise go for funds
• pay others to do the work for you and sell their product or service

2. Work hard for the money

• get a dayjob
• start blogging and make money online
• combine the above: get a dayjob and start blogging during office hours to make money online

3. Try your luck

• buy a lottery ticket
• look for a dollar bill in your socks (yes, most likely you will be as lucky here as when buying a lottery ticket )

4. Do things that are not allowed

Unfortunately there are a lot of ways to make money illegally. They look attractive but you risk your freedom. Buying a lottery ticket you only risk your money.

Once you have made your money, you need to spend it wisely. The main killer for your personal wealth are credit cards charging you a ridiculous high amount of interest.

Make sure you earn money for yourself and not for the bank!

How to make money online

In short you can go through the list of 4 money makers above and use it to make money online.

We are making money doing most of the work ourselves and sometimes we ask other people to do the work for us: they write a post for us and most likely they will add their link in their post. If you feel your website can use some extra advertisement and buzz, just write a post and leave a comment over at How to start a blog.

Then I make easy money using the following recommended money makers:

All let you add some code on your blog so you will show some kind of advertisement.

Linkworth and Smorty also let you write posts for money.

Are you looking"for the pot of gold" and spending most of your time gathering knowledge?

Then you need to stop right now and stick to 1 or 2 good ebooks. The ones I am recommending – Atomic Blogging and Squidoo Queen – are value for money and they come with a money back guarantee.

As you can see, I am not updating my blog as regular as I used to do because I rather work smart than hard.

Working smart became easy after reading Atomic Blogging and Squidoo Queen: at this very moment I am working less to maintain the same income stream like before when I was working my ‘you know what’ off.

Great savings

I am not going to hype that there is a special offer for Atomic Blogging and Squidoo Queen.

Your best savings is your precious time: you can focus on these 2 books and start working to make money online right away.

This is a no brainer: the bums on the beach are just using up space. Maybe they have spent lots of money on:

• traveling to the beach,
• staying in the hotels nearby, but

once they are on the beach : hardly any money is spent…
except for some people buying an icecream

Now the second picture: the only reason why the people are in this hawkers street filled with food is to spend their money on buying food!

Is your website a filled beach?

Look at this Linky Love: what do you see: “a beach or a hawkers street”?

Our Linky Love is a typical "beach website": lots of people drop by and if I am lucky, they “buy my icecream”…

If your business plan is based on "if I am lucky", you might as well buy a ticket on the lottery…

Is your website a hawkers street?

Look at the screenshots below:

All you can do on this
"I made well over $6.666.57 a month generating 25.000 visitors" is…
buy Atomic Blogging.

All you can do on this "Make easy money using Squidoo and Bum Marketing" is…
buy Squidoo Queen.

You see there is no confusion, no getting distracted by anything:

• just making sure you buy their 2 great products,
• just like any restaurant tries to serve you a great meal at dinner.

So how to make money with only 10 visitors daily?

You make sure that you only attract 10 buyers.

Let’s stick with restaurants again (yes, you are not the only one Alvin who comes from a coffee shop background just to make it big outside the coffee shop).

Really it’s no use that 10.000 visitors go in your restaurant, just to browse over the menu and walk out again.

You rather have 3 bookings of 10 people all in all and set your price high enough for the 10 visitors:

• to be able to pay your price
• to get a meal that’s really worth the money you ask for.

Now the real secret of making money online you just read above and most likely you didn’t even notice it:

…You rather have 3 bookings…

BOOKINGS is the key word: don’t wait until you get somebody stumbling by, but

make sure the ones stepping through your door
are going to leave paying.

Now you say: how do I do that? Let me answer that below

How to make money on the Internet with quality visitors

1. You need something to sell:

• that is on topic with your site
• that you believe in yourself
• that is in a niche

You can find lot’s of things to sell in our 2 "Clickbank formula improved" tutorials.

You can find a niche using Alvin’s keyword research tool that comes when you buy his Atomic Blogging package.

2. You need buyers:

You need to attract people that once they get on your website, they buy, just like when somebody steps into a restaurant, you make sure she or he gets seated, gets a good view on the menu or gets already a free taster.

Ok, my father can teach you everything to get money out of selling food, but when it comes to attracting quality visitors to your website, Kelly can teach you everything to attract visitors that will buy on your website.

Don’t put your eggs in 1 basket

As usual, I recommend you don’t limit yourself to one strategy. But make also sure you don’t drown in “all the strategies” you read on the Internet. Mostly they are just variations on the same subject anyway.

Don’t use more than 7 eggs, and Linky Love is at this moment using 4:

1. attracting a crowd using the techniques from Alvin’s Atomic Blogging package and
2. monetizing this "beach crowd" with "icecream" in the form of advertisement
3. attracting quality buyers using the techniques from Kelly’s Squidoo and Bum Marketing package and
4. monetizing on 2 products I strongly believe in because I use them myself (if you by now don’t know which 2 products that are, then ask in a comment!)

If you find I need to explain something in more detail, please ask so I can teach you better how you can make money online!

Look at the above picture and ask again: how does Squidoo work?

Answer:

• Squidoo gets your good content ranking high in the search engines!(number 2 for 533.000 results!)

This just shows How Anyone With No Experience can Rank High in the Search Engines using Squidoo

Let Squidoo do the SEO for you for free

For an SEO expert like me the above picture translates into:

people without my SEO knowledge but using Squidoo could beat me in my own game.

Why?

Because they can jump the bandwagon of a big site called Squidoo known by the search engines for their good content.

And in the end content will always rule.

So how does Squidoo work exactly?

Squidoo’s motto is: Everybody is an expert in something!

Or said differently: if you only have one eye, you will still be the expert in the land of the blind.

So whatever you are an expert in, you can write about it and put it on the Squidoo website for free. In short: you post your own content and add it to the Squidoo library of good content articles.

Did I stress good content? Yes I did. If you know something that is useful for others that don’t know what you know, then you have good content.

Now for the interesting Squidoo part

• Even without a website, you can rank high in the search engines with your Squidoo
• Squidoo allows you to promote products (from your own or affiliate products)

Yes, Squidoo gives you an extra advantage of any other free platform like:

• blogger: it’s free but you have no extra benefit to rank high fast using them. With Squidoo you are immediately on Google’s radar because Google knows Squidoo is all about good content and expertise.
• article directories: they put you as fast on the Google radar as Squidoo but they do not allow you to promote affiliate products

But what if I don’t know any good affiliate product to promote and I am completely new on Squidoo? Well, you need to find an affiliate product that you would buy yourself.

If you don’t like it, then don’t insult your visitors with it.

If you are in the make money online business, there are 2 products I recommend my visitors:

1. Atomic Blogging which teaches from scratch how to make money with a WordPress blog. This is good for complete newbies to bloggers that know about blogging but need extra help in monetizing and attracting more visitors.
2. Squidoo Queen which teaches how you can make money by writing about what you know better than others. So far I need to try out what she wrote in her ebook, but for what I read so far I see that :
1. Kelly is knowledgeable about my field of expertise SEO and Niches and
2. she bypasses my knowledge using her’s and Squidoo’s: the Squidoo picture above just shows how using Squidoo correctly can put you on top of the search engine even when you don’t have a blog.

Why I start promoting Kelly’s Squidoo Queen

Because she target’s :

• people that do want to make money online but have no experience in doing it
• people that know more than others (which really is you: you just need to think out of the box. I can give you an example: your English is most likely better than mine, so there you are already an expert )

Or using Kelly’s words:

How Anyone With No Experience Can Make Money Online Once They Know The Basics

What I like the most about this way of making money is:

you don’t need to pay a webhost nor a domainname.

You use an existing platform that already ranks high on the search engine.

You can use your own sweet time and improve your skills or you can save precious time and invest a little money in How Anyone With No Experience Can Make Money Online Once They Know The Basics.

It goes without saying that Linky Love will be on Squidoo soonest but I won’t buzz about it as Squidoo Queen explains: never tell anybody what your niche expertise it
