Their affiliate program is perfect for affiliate marketing newbies for a few reasons. They’re a trusted brand name that converts with a massive number of products available for you to promote. Plus they have no “approval process” so you can just sign up and begin promoting their products right away.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another cool thing about the Amazon affiliate program though is it’s a fantastic way to find profitable niches with very little competition. So if you’re a bit stuck for keyword ideas it’s a great place to head to to get some inspiration.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Then pick a category from the menu and click <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Go’</strong>:</div>

Now browse through the products and look for the ones with a good <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Sales Rank’</strong>:</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If a product has a <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Sales Rank’</strong> number it means it’s selling well.</div>

Then search for these popular Amazon products in the <a href="https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&__u=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Keyword Tool</a> to see if people are searching for these items in Google:</div>

If the keyword is getting a decent number of searches then take a look at how much competition there is in the search engines:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Look for products that have few results in the search engines (less than a million is good!) and hardly and other websites targetting that keyword.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The trick is to find products that are selling well on Amazon, have a decent number of searches AND have little competition.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It might take a bit of sifting through the various Amazon products but if you put some time into it you can find some very <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">lucrative keywords</strong> to build your websites around.</div>

Some marketers just have absolutely no idea where to begin whilst others simply don’t see the value in it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So today I’m going to show you exactly <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">why </strong>you should bother with Google Plus marketing as well as <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">how</strong> you can go about doing it.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here’s WHY You Should Be Marketing on Plus…<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1) Google+ gets your content “shared”.</strong><br />
It’s a network with a huge sharing culture so if you put out cool stuff, whether it be pictures, videos or a links to great content – then people <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">will</strong> re-share it. This makes it an excellent traffic source and a great way to constantly get your content to new people.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) Google is already integrating aspects of Google+ into their search results.</strong>You might have already noticed that Google is now integrating posts and links that are shared on to the G+ network by people that are in your circles into the search results allowing you to pick up even more traffic. And my money is on them integrating social signals into their search results more and more into the future.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) Because you shouldn’t put all of your eggs into one basket.</strong><br />
Whilst some people are screaming out <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Facebook has too much of a head start! Don’t waste your time with Google+!”</em> I on the other hand admit that I have absolutely no idea where the social media world will be in a couple of years or who will come out on top. So I would rather hedge my bets and be on all of them.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yes I’ll keep building my presence on Facebook too but I’m also putting time into figuring out Google+ and it’s already starting to pay off.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4) Because the Early Bird Gets the Worm.</strong><br />
It’s almost always easier if you get in early. You encounter less competition, less restrictions and less saturation.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I wish I had of started building up my Facebook presence much earlier on when pages were still more of a novelty and every man and his dog wasn’t on there trying to get you to like their shit.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I would of had a much bigger headstart and would have a much larger influence in the Facebook world right now but back then I didn’t see the value in any of these things and I actually thought that “MySpace” was the unbeatable king the social world… hindsight is a bitch aye.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But that’s enough about the why and lets jump to the how.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here’s HOW To Build A Big Following on Plus…</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Google Plus Followers" class="alignright" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/google-plus-followers.jpg" height="136" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 5px 0px 20px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Google Plus Followers" width="263" /></strong>So far I’ve managed to amass close to <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10,000</strong> followers on my G+ account as well as build up pages with thousands of followers for several of my niches.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here’s how you can do the same:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1) Funnel fans from your other social properties to your Google+ account.</strong><br />
Have you already got a populated Facebook page for your website or niche? How about a Twitter? What about a big email list? Let them know about your Google+ profile and most importantly give them a INCENTIVE to circle you!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Are you in the doggy training niche? Let them know that you’ll “be revealing 3 of your closely guarded doggy training secrets later in the week to only your G+ followers”.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Promoting a specific product? Tell them you’ll be offering big exclusive discounts to only you G+ followers later in the week.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Get creative and come up with something enticing and ask yourself <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“what would make me want to circle this guy?”</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) “Borrow” followers from other people and pages related to your niche.</strong>Here’s an extremely easy way to very quickly build up a huge following of people that are interested in your niche.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Simply find popular Google+ profiles and pages that belong to people within your niche… and then steal their followers!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can do this by just searching for your niche in the search bar and selecting the ‘People and Pages’ option:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Google Plus Search" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/google-plus-search.jpg" height="321" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Google Plus Search" width="551" /></strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then look for profiles with large amounts of followers and click the ‘View All’ link next to the section that with their followers:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Find Followers" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/find-followers.jpg" height="145" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Find Followers" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then one by one add each person to one of your own circles:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Steal Followers" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/steal-followers.jpg" height="346" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Steal Followers" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Something like 20-30% of all of the people that you follow will wind up following you back. Sometimes more if you make your profile really interesting with lots of useful updates.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Takes a bit of time but it works and it’s extremely easy!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) Share awesome stuff with your circles.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Share great content that people will re-share and not only will you get more traffic but you’ll be able to gain new followers.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Share Cool Stuff" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/share-cool-stuff.jpg" height="323" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Share Cool Stuff" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Every time a new person sees your post and likes it – there’s a chance they’ll also decide to follow you.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
That’s all there is to it…</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Keep repeating these steps over and over and you’ll soon find yourself with a sizable G+ following on your hands. From here you can use it to promote and drive traffic to your niche related websites… remember the key to getting lots of traffic from plus is to share content that people will actually enjoy and want to re-share.<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Get Free Traffic From Reddit" class="alignright" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/get-free-traffic-from-reddit.jpg" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 5px 0px 20px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" />Today I want to talk about a huge source of traffic that a lot of internet marketers are ignoring – <a href="http://www.reddit.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">reddit</a>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The potential for reddit marketing is absolutely huge but most people don’t have a clue how to go about it… so today I’m going to lay it all out for you.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So how does reddit work?</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reddit is an incredibly popular social sharing website where people can submit links about all sorts of topics and then the rest of the community can vote up or down those links. The site currently has an Alexa traffic rank of #54 and receives billions of page views each month.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The site is divided into heaps of different categories called ‘sub-reddits’. So if you want to find or post a technology link you would head over to <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">/r/Technology</a>. Or if you want to post about politics then you can do so at <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/politics" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">/r/Politics</a>. Or perhaps you’ve got a music related link? Then you’d head over to <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/music/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">/r/Music</a>. There’s a sub-reddit for almost everything.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Links that get submitted to reddit that are well received by the community can easily get thousands of visitors from one submission. If you’ve been in the internet marketing game for a while then you might remember when people used to talk about the ‘Digg effect’. This was when <a href="http://digg.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Digg">Digg.com</a> (a site that operates very similarly to reddit) was a lot more popular and submitting a link to it could cause you to get an insane amount of traffic which was known as the ‘digg effect’.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These days though Digg has died down and the ‘reddit effect’ as replaced it:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Obviously you can’t just submit any old junk and expect to get a tonne of visitors. You need to be a bit strategic about what you submit and where you submit it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The good news though is that you don’t need to get to the front page of reddit to get a tonne of traffic. Reddit has so much traffic that even a submission that does ‘pretty well’ will bring you an incredible amount of traffic.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A good way to get a sense of what sort of content works well on reddit is to simply spend a bit of time browsing through their various submissions (warning: it can be pretty addictive).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
By visiting the front page of reddit we can see the most popular recent submissions:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Reddit Front Page" height="442" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/reddit-front-page.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Reddit Front Page" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Look through all of the most popular submissions and check out the comments for each submission and you’ll quickly start to get a sense of what the reddit culture is like. Understanding the culture of reddit will help you greatly to make successful submissions.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So what sort of culture does reddit have?</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The reddit community tends to be quite liberal and internet savvy and they like to be entertained rather then sold to. They like to learn and love stuff that’s interesting or humorous and love subjects like technology, gaming, science and politics (oh yeah and cats).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This short video does a pretty good job at summing up the reddit culture:</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The more time you spend sifting through the popular submissions on reddit and the more that you submit the better you’ll get at working out what type of submissions will work well on reddit.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Below though I’ll give you a few pointers as to how you should create and submit your content so that it does well.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Your title is extremely important…</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The title of your submission is going to be the first thing people will see and it can literally make or break your submission. Before you can get people to vote up your submissions you have to first get them to check it out and it’s with a good title that you can do this.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Try to create a title that is as interesting and enticing as you can possibly make it. Good titles include ones that ignite curiosity, stir up controversy or only give away half of the story (making them click your link to get the full scoop!).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Again just experimenting with different titles and checking out the titles of other popular submissions will help you to nail the art of writing a great submission title.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Be subtle…</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Don’t just go in all guns blazing posting links to every single page that you have. Instead fly under the radar. Don’t be obvious about the fact that you are promoting your own website and don’t only post links to your own websites.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mix it up by submitting interesting content from other sites and even commenting on some other submissions. Redditors can easily see your past comment and submissions and if they think that you’re only there to market your stuff they are just going to downvote all of your submissions into oblivion.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Add a reddit button to your site…</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another good way to encourage users to upvote your content is to make it as easy as possible for them by adding a reddit button your pages. You can find a whole bunch of reddit buttons <a href="http://www.reddit.com/buttons/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">here</a> that you can embed into your site.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Pro-tip: borrow content from other sites…</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Getting your content to go viral on reddit doesn’t mean that you have to spend an insane amount of time writing amazing content or creating an incredible video. An easy way to add good viral content to your site that will work well is to simply recycle good content from other parts of the web.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This could be as simple as embedding a popular YouTube video that’s related to your niche onto your site and then submitting it to a niche related sub-reddit. Another example is to add good infographics to your site that are related to your niche and then post them to reddit.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Or you could find hot news stories related to your niche that are trending, re-write them and then add them to your website. If you’re the first to post a story or viral video then you can get an insane amount of traffic by doing this.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Reddit is also great for backlinks!</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Aside from being great for free traffic reddit is also awesome from an <a href="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/category/seo/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="SEO">SEO</a> point of view as you’ll score a tonne of <a href="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/get-quality-backlinks-that-dont-suck-with-knowem/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Quality Backlinks">quality backlinks</a> from a good submission. Not only do you get a backlink from the actual submission itself but you also score another backlink for every person that comments on your submission as the link gets re-posted to their user profile.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So if 50 people comment on your submission… you’ll get a backlink on the profiles of all of the commenters giving you a cool 50 backlinks.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Often people will even find your submission on reddit and then re-post it to other sites bringing even more backlinks and traffic to your site. I’ve had some of my submissions reposted to extremely high authority websites before and acquired some killer backlinks by doing this.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What’re you waiting for? Get on it!</strong></h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The potential for <a href="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/category/social-marketing/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Social Marketing">social marketing</a> on reddit is absolutely huge and if your website is about a niche that’s even slightly interesting then it’s something that you should really be jumping on.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tonnes of traffic, tonnes of high quality authority backlinks, totally free… what’s not to love?</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Steal Your Competitors Backlinks" class="alignright" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/steal-your-competitors-backlinks.jpg" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 5px 0px 20px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" />Here’s a simple SEO strategy that will help you to beat those pesky competing websites that are outranking you in the search engines thanks to a little bit of reverse engineering.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It involves spying on your competitions’ backlinks with free tools that tell you not only how many backlinks a site has (which will give you an idea of hard they will be to beat) but exactly where the backlinks are located.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There’s a few tools around that let you do this but I’m going to recommend <a href="http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Open Site Explorer">Open Site Explorer</a> just because you don’t have to register an account and can begin checking out your competitors’ backlinks right away.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So lets say that we are trying to rank for the term <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Juice Extractor Reviews”</strong> – just a random keyword I’ve picked out of thin air. We would first do a Google search for this term to find out what the top ranking websites are:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Find Competitors" height="420" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/find-competitors.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Find Competitors" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Next we would head over to a keyword checker tool like <a href="http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Open Site Explorer">Open Site Explorer</a> and search for the top ranking sites:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Backlink Search" height="221" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/backlink-search.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Backlink Search" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">BAM.</strong> You’ve got yourself a full list of their backlinks:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Backlinks" height="458" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/backlinks.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Backlinks" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Finally just go through each site see which ones you can also get for link on for yourself:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Copying Backlink" height="689" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/copying-backlink.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Copying Backlink" width="551" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now obviously you aren’t going to be able to get a backlink on every site that your competitors have but you’ll be suprised at just how many you can.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Keep an eye out particularly for blogs (that you can comment on), forums (that you can build signature and profile links on), directories (that you can submit your website too) and any other type of website that allows some kind of submission that includes a website URL.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
By simply copying what high ranking websites do you can duplicate their success!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Today I want to share a free website that that I stumbled across a while ago that is so useful for finding quality sites to get backlinks to your website that even if it was the only resource that you used to find backlinks – you’d still probably be able to get a first page ranking.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The website I’m talking about is <a href="http://knowem.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Knowem">Knowem.com</a> and it allows you to easily find a huge amount of high quality websites that you can register an account with and create a backlink on. These sites include free blogging platforms, social bookmarking websites, photo sharing websites, video sharing websites and more. These are not crappy, spammy websites with little value – they’re <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">all</strong> huge, authority websites that Google loves.</div>

I’m all about quality over quantity when it comes to my backlinks and whilst many affiliate marketers have this idea that you need to have literally hundreds of thousands of backlinks to a get a high ranking website the truth is that you can come out on top by instead of just focusing on building quality links rather then sheer volume.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In fact many of my niche websites that are ranking high on the first page of Google for their keyword have no more then 10-30 high quality backlinks!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So here’s how you can use Knowem to dominate the search engines:</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
First enter your keyword on their homepage and hit the <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Check It’</strong> button:</div>

<img alt="Search for Keyword" height="394" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/search-for-keyword.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Search for Keyword" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then click the <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Social Networks’</strong> tab to see a full list of all of the available websites for building backlinks on:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Social Profiles Link" height="160" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/social-profiles-link.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Social Profiles Link" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You’ll then be taken a list of over 340 popular social media sites that you can create a profile with and build a backlink to your website on:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Web Properties" height="481" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/web-properties.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Web Properties" width="545" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then all that you need to do is go through each web property one by one and create a profile on each site along with a backlink to your website wherever it allows it. Start with the websites that your exact keyword is available as a profile name – having a backlink from a URL with your exact keyword (ie.<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">YourKeyword.Blogspot.com</strong>) is a huge signal to Google that your website is super relevant to that keyword. For websites where your exact keyword is already taken just add an extra word to your profile name.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Finally on the websites that allow you to interact with the site in some way (and most of them will) make sure that you do so! By commenting on things, adding friends on sites that allow it and contributing to these websites you’ll be able to also build links within that site back to your profile page making your backlinks even more powerful.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The more that you interact with these sites the stronger your backlinks from these sites will be. Spend a decent amount of time doing this on each site and you’ll have some extremely high quality backlinks on your hands… and as a result you’ll start to see your rankings skyrocket.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Obviously it would take quite some time to get through the entire list and you probably wouldn’t even need to get the whole way through it to start seeing some really positive website rankings but if you just do a few each day and eventually get through most of the list you’ll be well on your way to a #1 ranking for your keyword!</div>

<a href="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/use-footprints-to-build-backlinks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Use Footprints to Build Powerful Backlinks" border="0" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/use-footprints-to-build-backlinks.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;" /></a>Here’s another <a href="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/category/seo/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3301; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">SEO tip</a> that will help you to get extremely relevant backlinks to your website. We’re going to do this by using what are called “Footprints”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So what exactly is a footprint?</strong> Simply put – they are strings of text that we can search for to find sites that run using a specific software.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As an example most blogs that run on WordPress will have the text <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Powered by WordPress”</strong> somewhere on the website.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So if we wanted to find a whole bunch of WordPress websites I could just do a Google search for this footprint:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Searching for Footprints" height="321" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/searching-for-footprints.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Searching for Footprints" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then to get more specific we can add a keyword to the mix. So if I wanted to find a whole bunch of WordPress powered blogs about cannabis we can do a search like this:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Cannabis Blog Footprints" height="603" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/cannabis-blog-footprints.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Cannabis Blog Footprints" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So how can footprints help you to find relevant websites to build backlinks on?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We can use these footprints to find specific website platforms that we know allow us to add a link somewhere.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For example WordPress blogs are useful to us because we can leave a backlink by commenting on a post:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Comment Link" height="281" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/comment-link.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Comment Link" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Footprints are also useful for finding relevant forums that allow you to build links in your profile and signature section too:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Forum Links" height="398" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/forum-links.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Forum Links" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In fact there are quite a few different website platforms out there that allow you to add a link in some way and by using footprints we can easily find these sites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Below I’ve compiled a list of footprints that you can use to find some of the most popular platforms out there that allow you to build a backlink somewhere on their website.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Turns out I was dead wrong. Email marketing is not just alive and kicking but it’s the crux of a LOT of online businesses and accounts for a HUGE amount of all affiliate sales.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Eventually a little light bulb inside of my head clicked and I began to see the benefit of being able to collect “leads” and then promote to a list over and over and over again instead of just going for a one time sale and having people never return to my website again.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So I soon gave in and decided to sign up for <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber’s $1 trial</a> just so I could see what all of the fuss was about… and let me tell you I’ve been hooked ever since.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So here’s a look at why I (and so many other people) swear by Aweber.</div>
<h3 style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">They are easy as hell to use…</strong></h3>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
One huge thing that put me off email marketing for a long time was that it just seemed waaaay too complicated and I just felt like I would be completely out of my depth.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I thought “I can’t do everything! I’ll just stick to SEO!”… bad decision.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now I wish I had of been building a list since the very beginning (and yes I know a lot of people say this but that’s because it’s the flat out truth).</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
But it turns out that you don’t have to be a coder or a super experienced email marketer to start marketing by email… you just need a top notch email marketing service like <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a>.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> makes is dead easy to start building a list with its super intuitive interface that allows even the newest of email marketers a way to quickly start building their list without having to worry about all of the “technical” stuff.</div>
<h3 style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Aweber loves affiliate marketers…</strong></h3>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I see a lot of people choosing and recommending MailChimp – probably because they have a ‘Free’ plan. But the thing is they actually don’t allow affiliate marketers. If you read through their terms and conditions you’ll see that they clearly state that they do not allow affiliate marketers to use their service.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
And the last thing you want to do is to spend a whole bunch of time building up a profitable email list only to have your account banned!</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> on the other hand supports and likes affiliate marketers and isn’t going to ban you for sending out affiliate offers to your list. They are a very ‘affiliate’ friendly email marketing service and as a result they are used by a tonne of top affiliates.</div>
<h3 style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">They give you super detailed statistics.</strong>..</h3>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
One thing that really helped me to “get” email marketing and why it’s so powerful was when I first saw the statistics and reports <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> would provide you with after sending out an email to your list. I was totally floored by how many stats they give you about how people are interacting with your emails!</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Basically whenever you send out an email they will tell you not only how many people opened that email but also how many people clicked on a link in that email:</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Aweber Email Statistics" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-212" height="355" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/aweber-email-statistics.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Aweber Email Statistics" width="551" /></div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
You can even track exactly which of your leads are buying too!</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
We can then do all sorts of cool things with these stats like sending another email to ONLY the people that opened your email:</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Send To Engaged Subscribers" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-213" height="370" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/send-to-engaged-subscribers.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Send To Engaged Subscribers" width="551" /></div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Or alternatively you could send a follow up email to everybody who DIDN’T open a particular email:</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Segmented Broadcast" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-214" height="370" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/segmented-broadcast.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Segmented Broadcast" width="551" /></div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
This is a killer way to promote stuff to ultra targeted segments of your list without pissing off your entire list.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
And this is really just the tip of the iceberg.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
In the ‘Reports’ section you’ll find an insane wealth of information about everything you could ever want ranging from where your subscribers are signing up from to what countries your subscribers are coming from to how much money you are making from each email.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
In fact there’s just way too many metrics that you can look at to list here.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Detailed Aweber Reports" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-215" height="306" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/detailed-aweber-reports.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Detailed Aweber Reports" width="551" /></div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The beautiful thing about <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> though is that you only have to go as “deep” into all of this stuff as you want too. All of these different stats and tools and metrics might seem a little overwhelming at first but when you’re starting out you don’t have to use any of them.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
But you’ll be surprised at how quickly you become addicted to them and start to rummage deeper and deeper into your subscriber stats. You can get some absolutely amazing insights about how people are interacting with your emails and why they are liking and what they’re not.<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"></strong></div>
<h3 style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">It only costs a buck to get started…</strong></h3>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> charges based on how many subscribers you have. So up to the first 500 subscribers costs just $19. Once you go beyond 500 it’s $29. Beyond 2,500 and it’s $49.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
But the cool thing is the first month is just $1 which allows you to really play around with it without having to risk anything. If you find you absolutely hate it and that email marketing isn’t for you then you’ve only lost a buck… but if you’re anything like myself and countless other marketers out there I’m pretty sure you are going to FREAKING LOVE IT.</div>
<h3 style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">The downside?</strong></h3>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The only real downside to <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> is that it costs slightly more than some of the other email marketing services out there.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
That being said though I’ve never had a month where I haven’t made back the monthly cost many, many times over… this is really a case of “you get what you pay for”.</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’m seeing quite a few people also recommending <a href="http://www.imnicamail.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Imnica Mail">Imnica Mail</a> for their extremely low prices but after trying them out a little while back it was pretty obvious that they weren’t nearly as sophisticated as <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> Sure their price is low but their interface, stats and pre-made opt-in forms are nowhere near as good as Aweber (sorry Imnica!).</div>
<div style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; line-height: 23.99305534362793px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
If you sign up for <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> through my link I’ll get a commission (thanks!) but that really isn’t why I’m writing this blog post. <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> has really helped me to take my affiliate marketing business to a whole new level and I know there are a lot of affiliate marketers that are “on the fence” about this whole email marketing thing so I’m trying to urge you all to give it a go so that you too can have that giant “A HA!” moment and start to make some really good money with email marketing.</div>

For me – it was frankly one of the best decisions that I’ve made.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/how-to-build-a-list.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How to Build a List" border="0" class="alignright" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/how-to-build-a-list.png" style="display: inline; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="How to Build a List" /></a></div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
In my last post about email marketing I showed you a few examples of how I use email marketing to make money.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I got some really positive feedback regarding it and decided I really wanted to start teaching some more stuff that revolves around email marketing. It’s one of my <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">favorite</em> ways to make money online, and <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">easily</em> one of the most profitable.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
In this post, I’m going to show you how you can easily build a targeted mailing list that you can bank from time and time again. You won’t even have to make any “free eBooks” to give away or anything.<span id="more-47" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span> In fact all that you’ll need are three things:</div>
<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 35px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">A web hosting account…</strong> you’ll need a host to upload your “squeeze” page (the page where you get people to sign up for your list). If you don’t already have a host I recommend ordering the “Baby Plan” from <a href="http://www.hostgator.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HostGator</a>. It’s cheap (under $10 a month) and allows you to host as many domains as you like. Use the coupon <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">LAZYCOUPON</strong> and you’ll get your first month for just one cent.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">An Aweber account…</strong> <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> is an email marketing service that allows you to easily build and maintain mailing lists – even if you have no technical know how about “mailing”. It costs $19 a month to use <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?415891" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Aweber</a> but they also offer a discounted trial period – costing you just $1 for your first month.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">An affiliate network with good offers…</strong> To start making some dough from your list you’ll need an account with at least one affiliate network that has good, high paying offers. For this guide I’ll be using both <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Clickbank</a> and <a href="http://peerfly.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Peerfly</a> as examples because in my opinion, they’re both awesome. To anyone looking for a great CPA network I highly recommend <a href="http://peerfly.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Peerfly</a> – their payouts are huge, their offers are top notch and you can even get paid out in less than eight hours directly to your PayPal!</li>

<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The first thing that you need to do is decide on who your target market will be. You want to choose a niche that has a tonne of relevant offers available.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Browse through the <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Clickbank Marketplace</a>, <a href="http://peerfly.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Peerfly Offers</a> or offers on whatever affiliate network it is that you’re using to see what niches have offers that you could promote to them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
A good way to gauge what’s selling well on Clickbank is by the gravity icon next to an item:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Clickbank Gravity" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/clickbank-gravity.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Clickbank Gravity" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
On Peerfly you can check the average conversion rate for an offer to see how it’s doing:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Peerfly Offers" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/peerfly-offers.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Peerfly Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
As you can see, they also give you the EPC for each offer, which is the average amount earned per click sent to that offer (EPC = Earnings Per Click). Keep in mind that these numbers are just an overall average, so it’s highly likely that your actual conversion rate will be different but it’s still a useful way to get a sense for which offers are working well.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Here are a couple of examples of target markets that you could choose:</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Gamers:</strong> There are a tonne of great gaming offers out there. Doing a quick search you can see there’s a tonne of offers on Peerfly:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Gaming Offers" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/peerfly-gaming.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Gaming Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Most are fairly low paying but only require a short, free signup to receive your commission… easy money! You could build a list of gamers and “let them know” about cool new games and gaming freebies… (aka. Your CPA gaming offers!).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Students:</strong> There are all sorts of offers out there that could be used to profit from students. One idea could be to start a “Student Discounts” newsletter from which you could send out CPA offers for scholarships, student loans, coupons, freebies and all sorts of things! Here’s a few offers that look like they would work be perfect for marketing to a Student mailing list:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Student Offers" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/peerfly-student.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Student Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
These are just a few ideas off the top of my head but the sky is really the limit. If the demographic exists and there are offers to promote to them, then you’re pretty much good to go!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Though not essential, it definitely helps to pick something that you already know about. It’s going to be really hard to convince people that you know anything about “perfecting your golf swing” if you’ve never played a game of golf in your life. Choose a target market that you understand, and you’ll have a lot more success promoting offers to them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Next you need to choose an angle. Why should people sign up to your list?</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Try to put yourself into the mind of the target audience and think of an enticing reason for those people to join your list. There’s a million different ways to do it, and you shouldn’t get too hung up on it, but you just need to pick an approach that you think will work. Here’s a few different ideas:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">A “Discount” Newsletter:</strong> It’s been done time and time again but that’s because it works. Simply start a newsletter for your target audience promising the “hottest deals” or “biggest discounts” on x related products.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sites like Groupon and LivingSocial are good examples of this type of thing on a larger scale. Just look at how they entice people to subscribe by promising massive discounts on local products:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Squeeze Pages" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/squeeze-pages.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Squeeze Pages" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Simple yet <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">extremely</em> effective. The same can easily be applied to pretty much any niche you want.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
One of the best things about this approach is that people pretty much “expect” you to email them offers… in fact they don’t even look at them as “adverts” so much as “deals” which usually makes them a lot more receptive, helping you to make some serious sales!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">An “Informational” Newsletter:</strong> Simply offer to send out useful, regular information on a specific subject.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
For example, if you were targeting poker players, you might offer to send them out regular tips and information that will help them to kick ass at the poker table!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">A “Cause” Newsletter:</strong> Build a newsletter around a cause that many people are passionate about. You could start an “Make Poker in the US Legal” cause newsletter sending out regular updates on the <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“fight to make reform poker laws”</em> whilst also slipping in the odd <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“thank for your support”</em> coupon for a poker site that allows US players!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Feel free to mix it up however you like, there’s a million different ways to do this…</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Just be creative, keep your target audience in mind and come up with something appealing!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="Step 2" class="alignnone" height="23" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/step2.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Step 2" width="360" /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Next you need to set up your squeeze page. There’s a lot of free squeeze page templates out there… here’s a few good ones:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://jettdigitals.com/free-sales-page-templates/index2.php" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">JetDigitals Squeeze Pages</a> – 20 free high quality squeeze pages.<br />
<a href="http://socialeers.com/free-landing-page-template/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Video Squeeze Page</a> – An awesome ‘video’ squeeze page.<br />
<a href="http://cashrevelations.com/magazine/2010/09/wp-landing-page/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">WordPress Squeeze Pages</a> – 10 sleek landing page themes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Here’s an example… for it I’ll be using one of the <a href="http://jettdigitals.com/free-sales-page-templates/index2.php" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">JetDigital squeeze page templates</a>which I just edit using Dreamweaver.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now lets say I look through the offers available and decide that “Healthy Cooking” could be a great niche. It looks like there’s a few really relevant offers that you could promote on PeerFly:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/peerfly-cooking.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Cooking Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
And there’s also a bunch of high converting cooking products on Clickbank:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Clickbank Offers" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/clickbank-cooking.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Clickbank Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Looks pretty good!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now for my “angle”. For this example I’ll decide to be an authority newsletter in the field – sending out organic, healthy recipes, tips and cooking ideas (all with my offers cleverly blended in… mwahahahaha!).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Here’s a rough example of a squeeze page that I could use to entice people to jump onto my list:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Opt-in Squeeze" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/my-squeeze.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Opt-in Squeeze" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Once you’ve tinkered with your landing page and are ready to add your opt-in form (the bit that asks for the users email address) than you just head over to Aweber and click the ‘Create a New List’ button in the ‘My Lists’ section:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Create List" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/create-list.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Create List" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Then you’ll be asked to fill out a few basic details like a list name and description:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="List Information" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/list-info.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="List Information" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Then you’ll be asked to set your confirmation email, this is just the email that gets sent out to anyone that requests to “join” your list.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
It’ll ask them to confirm their subscription by clicking a link. Be sure to customize it a little to suit your list like so:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Confirm Email" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/confirm-email.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Confirm Email" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Don’t fret too much about exactly what to write here, just get it set up and move forward!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
When you’ve created your list, hit the “Create a New Web Form” button in the “Web Forms” section:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Create Form" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/create-form.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Create Form" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
And play around with your form design until you are happy with it. I like to just use the “Basic” template and change it to a slightly bigger font for most of my squeeze pages:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Basic Form" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/basic-form.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Basic Form" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Save your form. And click the “I Will Install My Form” button to get your form code.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now just copy and paste this code into your squeeze page.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Your final result will look a little like this:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Full Squeeze" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/full-squeeze.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Full Squeeze" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="Step 3" class="alignnone" height="24" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/step3.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Step 3" width="293" /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now that you’ve got your squeeze page all set up and ready to go it’s time to create a short series of emails with offers blended throughout so that every lead you capture will be taken through your money making sales funnel!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
It’s pretty easy to do. A lot of people get stressed here about the fact that they can’t write “perfect” copy or because they aren’t sure of the EXACT order to send out offers and emails – but there’s really no one perfect way to do it. Just focus on getting it set up… and THEN tweaking it later.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now pick at least 3 relevant offers that you think will convert well.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
For this “healthy cooking” example, I’ll choose these two offers from Peerfly:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Cooking Offers" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/cooking-offers-1.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Cooking Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
And these two from Clickbank:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Email Offers" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/cooking-offers-2.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Email Offers" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now I just need to come up with 5-10 emails for the newsletter that have these offers seamlessly blended it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Here’s an example I just whipped up:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Email Series" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/email-series.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Email Series" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Again don’t stress about writing the “perfect” thing the whole time. Just sound like you know what you’re talking about and give the impression that you are really trying to help them, rather than just trying to flog stuff.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Once your email sequence is written and you’re happy with it, enter the “Follow Up Messages” section of Aweber and click “Create A New Follow Up Message”:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Follow Up Messages" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/followup.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Follow Up Messages" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Once you’ve created you’re series of follow up messages it’ll look something like this:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Follow Up Messages" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/followups.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Follow Up Messages" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Feel free to play around with the graphic templates available but for most lists I prefer to use plain text. It converts well and seems more personable, plus it takes less time to fiddle around with.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The first email you add will be sent to your lead the moment that they confirm their email address. All emails after that you’ll be able to choose how many days before it’s sent after the the previous email in the sequence.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’d recommend not sending more than one email a day and not less than one a week. You don’t want to overwhelm your subscribers and have them classing you as “spam” but you also don’t want them to forget about you and why you’re sending them emails!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now that your email sequence is all set up, the only thing left to do is to drive some traffic to the squeeze page…<br />
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img alt="Step 4" class="alignnone" height="26" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/step4.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Step 4" width="527" /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now that your mailing list is all set up and ready to go – it’s time to drive some traffic to it! Without traffic it’s pretty hard to make sales after all.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’ll be making another post soon covering some of these lead generation techniques more in depth but for now, here’s a quick run down of some of the free ways you can get targeted traffic to your opt in page:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Forums:</strong> Just find relevant forums and stick a compelling link into your signature. Forums on every niche can easily be found by simply searching “your niche forum” into google:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Forum Search" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/forum-search.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Forum Search" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
You can also find a list of all of the BIGGEST web forums on the internet over at <a href="http://www.big-boards.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Big Boards</a>. Just by doing a quick search on it I can easily see that there are some massive cooking forums out there:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Cooking Boards" class="alignnone" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/list/cooking-boards.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Cooking Boards" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Try to be one of the first people to to post in interesting threads and you’ll find yourself getting a lot of leads this way!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Facebook:</strong> Build a fan page based around your niche with an eye catching logo and your newsletter link in the description and then post your pages link onto the walls of other relevant pages.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
For even more leads you can also set up a custom tab for your page with your opt in form on it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google+:</strong> Get yourself a Google + invite. These are floating all over the web… find someone on a forum, facebook or somewhere else that’ll send you a G+ invite.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Create an account to represent the owner of your site. Make sure to add your sites URL in your information.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Start finding Google + profiles related to your niche… and ADD all of the people that have that page in their circles… this means you’re following extremely targeted people that are very likely to “follow you” in return.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
For example, in the gaming niche you might follow people that follow:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
This minecraft profile: <a href="http://www.moneymakerdiscussion.com/forum/redirector.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplus.google.com%2F115076508899877308408%2Fposts" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/115076508899877308408/posts</a>This playstation profile: <a href="http://www.moneymakerdiscussion.com/forum/redirector.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplus.google.com%2F102398337149881872710%2Fposts" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/102398337149881872710/posts</a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Etc… you can also follow followers of people that work for niche related companies. So you could add the followers of the CEO of IGN or something <img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.moneymakerdiscussion.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.png" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title=";)" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Then just wait for a few days for people to start following you back and then promote your squeeze page to them!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
A great thing about Google Plus is it makes it really easy for people to re-share stuff so if your newsletter is enticing enough, people will re-share it with their friends too.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Niche Social Networks:</strong> There’s a heap of niche social networks out there… you can find them just by searching for <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“your niche” social network</em> in Google.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Doing a quick search for “cooking” related social networks quickly reveals a few… FoodPals.com, BakeSpace.com etc.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Jump on each site and build up a profile with links back to your squeeze page. Most sites will allow you to create a group or page of some sort – create one for your niche and attract users to it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Every social network is different but almost all will have some way that you can promote your stuff – you’ve just got to look!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Newsgroups:</strong> Another free and easy way to get the message about your list out there.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Just head over to <a href="http://groups.google.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Google Groups</a> and search for newsgroups related to your niche.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Then just join them and post a message about your squeeze page!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Already got traffic?</strong> If you’ve already got sites with lots of traffic, why not create a list based around that niche? You’ll be able to instantly funnel heaps of leads to your list and begin watching as the dollars roll in!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
There’s plenty more ways to generate free leads – but that’ll have to wait for my next post on email marketing.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Once you’ve rallied up a decent number of subscribers you also have the option to do ad swaps with other big lists and more… but again, that’s another post altogether<img alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I freaking love email marketing because of it’s a “collect a lead once, keep that lead forever” type deal, allowing you to market to people over and over and over and over again… instead of merely getting a one time commission.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So what’re you waiting for? Start yourself a list today!<br />

<div class="entry" style="color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 30px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
These are referred to as <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“backlinks”</em> and Google (and other search engines) count each one of these as a <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“vote”</em>for your website – so the more backlinks that you can get from other, related websites the more the search engines will<em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> “push”</em> you up the rankings, giving you more traffic and allowing you to make more money…</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I know that quite a few people have been keenly watching my <a href="http://learnhowtogetpaid2012.blogspot.nl/p/built-niche.html" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Niche Case Study">niche website case study</a> progress so here’s another update for anyone that is following along. For anyone that missed the first couple of parts be sure to check out both <a href="http://learnhowtogetpaid2012.blogspot.nl/p/built-niche.html" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Niche Case Study Part 1">part one</a> and <a href="http://learnhowtogetpaid2012.blogspot.nl/p/profitable-niche-part-1.html" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Niche Case Study Part 2">two</a> to get up to speed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So far I’ve built up a website that’s targetting the keyword <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">‘Wine Aerator’</strong>. The website is a simple WordPress blog that’s using the ShopperPress theme,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Here’s what’s happened since my last update…</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve Added 3 New Products…</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve added three new products to the site. Once again I just used the <a href="https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&__u=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Google Keyword Tool</a> to find low hanging fruit in the forms of products with a decent number of searches but little competition in the search engines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The three products I settled on were the following:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="New Niche Products" height="1079" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/new-niche-products.jpg" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="New Niche Products" width="551" /></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve Built More Backlinks…</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
If you’ve been listening to anything that I’ve been saying you’ll know that<a href="http://learnhowtogetpaid2012.blogspot.nl/p/backlinks_9381.html"> backlinks</a> are essential to getting a top ranking (and heaps of traffic) from the search engines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So naturally as well as adding more content I’ve also been building more backlinks. This time I’ve been going through the social bookmarking websites found on Knowem.com and building up profiles on these sites with links back to my website:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="New Backlink" height="605" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/new-backlink.jpg" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="New Backlink" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
You might notice in the example above that I’ve also added a link to a website called <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Wine Australia”</strong>. I always like to add at least one other link to another relevant site on all of the profiles that I set up. It just makes them seem more natural and less like spam. I only add links to sites that are generally related to mine but not to sites that are in direct competition with me (why give them free backlinks?)… so a website about <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Wine Vineyards”</strong> or <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Brewing Wine”</strong> would be fine but not another site that’s targeting <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Wine Aerators”</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So far I’ve created links on about half of the social bookmarking sites that are listed (a bit over 20).</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Traffic is Increasing…</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
My website traffic is starting to pick up and is looking pretty positive.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Here’s a screenshot of last months traffic stats:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="April Traffic" height="624" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/april-traffic.jpg" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="April Traffic" width="551" /></div>

Admittedly some of these visitors are <a href="http://learnhowtogetpaid2012.blogspot.nl/"><b>http://learnhowtogetpaid2012.blogspot.nl</b></a> readers that are following the case study and checking out the website but there’s still a lot of people finding the site through the search engines.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The First Sales Arrive!</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Last but definitely not least – I’ve made my first few commissions from the site:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sure the commissions aren’t much to write home about – but it’s a positive sign.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Also note that two of these products I’m not even directly promoting on my website but that’s the beauty of Amazon. Even if the person doesn’t end up buying the actual item that you sent them too – Amazon does such a good job at suggesting and recommending other related products that they often end up buying something or rather… and whatever it is you get a commission.</div>

More in Part 4…</h2>

So far everything seems to be progressing very nicely.</div>

As you might remember I set up a websitetargetting the keyword “Wine Aerator” and added a few pages to it promoting different aerators through the Amazon affiliate program.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
All that I’ve done so far is build links on a few wine blogs and forums but already I can see that two of the keywords that I’m targetting are starting to rank in Google for some of the keywords that I’m targetting:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" height="520" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/images/keyword-study.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Keyword Study" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve also started to receive a few of visitors from Google too:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Search Terms" height="88" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/search-terms.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Search Terms" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
It’s not much but it’s nice to see that people are starting to find my site… plus I’ve barely done anything to it yet aside from building a handful of links!</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The next Step…</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So what’s next? Simply more content and more backlinks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Using the Google Keyword Tool I’ve found three more keywords to target:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Keyword Search" height="395" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/keyword-search.gif" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Keyword Search" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Then I’ve created a page for each of these three terms and added them to my website WineAeratorWorld.com:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Site Preview" height="789" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/site-preview.jpg" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Site Preview" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve now got six pages in total on my Aerator website.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Finally I created backlinks on a few more wine forums and blogs and have set up a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Squidoo</a>, <a href="http://www.weebly.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Weebly</a> and <a href="http://www.webs.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Webs.com</a> page about “Wine Aerators” each with a few backlinks to my website:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Web 2.0 Properties" height="341" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/web20-properties.jpg" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Web 2.0 Properties" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
And that’s it! Nothing super complicated at all… just good old fashioned unique content combined with quality backlinks on related websites.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; line-height: 35px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Well I make money online by building small yet profitable niche websites. I will show you EXACTLY how you can make money online by giving you a real life case study where I create a brand new niche website from from scratch, build it up and make it profitable… and I’ll be blogging every step of the process right here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Very few people are willing to reveal their niches and sites to anyone for fear of people copying them and added competition… but I say “screw it” and will be revealing everything in this case study – the niche, the website, the traffic stats and even the revenue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I encourage you all to follow along with the case study and create a niche website of your own. Keep in mind though it’s really not in your interest to just use the same niche. You’ll be far better off taking the time to find your own, untapped niche that isn’t published on a blog like this for everyone to see!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
So let’s not muck around and just jump right in shall we?</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Picking a Profitable Niche…</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
To find a niche I spent a bit of time browsing through the thousands of items over at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Amazon.com</a>, this is great way to find random products that get a lot of searches with little competition.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
After a bit of searching I stumble upon the <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">‘Wine Aerator’</strong>. You pour your wine through them to aerate and bring out the full flavor of a wine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
After doing a quick search in the <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Google Keyword tool</a> I find that there’s a good number of people searching for <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">‘Wine Aerator’</strong>:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

And after doing a search in Google for <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">‘Wine Aerator’</strong> I see that there’s very little competition for this term too:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Looks pretty good with less than a million results – I think I’ve found my niche!</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Setting up a Site…</strong></h2>

First I registered a domain name with my main keyword <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">‘Wine Aerator’</strong> in it through <a href="ttp://www.namecheap.com/?aff=56228" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">NameCheap</a>.</div>

The domain I ended up settling on was <strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">WineAeratorWorld.com</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I then set up WordPress over on my hosting account:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Adding Products…</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
It’s time to add a just few products to the site. I used the <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Google Keyword Tool</a> to find some good longtail keywords for products to target:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Profitable Niche Keywords" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/niche-keywords.gif" height="435" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Profitable Niche Keywords" width="551" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Then I just wrote around 300-400 words of unique content about each Aerator and added it to the blog along with their Amazon pictures:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="Promoting Amazon Products" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/amazon-products.jpg" height="741" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Promoting Amazon Products" width="551" /></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Optimizing for the Search Engines…</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
I then installed the <a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/" style="color: #3c7e0d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Yoast SEO Plugin</a> to optimize the titles of each product and page it’s keyword:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="SEO WordPress Plugin" src="http://www.lazyassstoner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/seo-wordpress-plugin.jpg" height="234" style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="SEO WordPress Plugin" width="551" /></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 42px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Building Some Links…</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Finally I’ve built just a few links to the site just to help it get indexed by the search engines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The links consisted of two blog comments, two forum signature links and two social bookmarks… easy!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<strong style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Conclusion…</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3937; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Now that I’ve found a niche, chucked up a website, created some content and built a few links I’ll just leave the website to sit for a bit whilst the Search Engines discover and index it.<br />
