Ethical Internet Marketer – Make More Money Online… Ethically!

Maybe, I am not the only one who is experiencing a new phenomenon of spam… When I checked my statistics for this domain “Ethicalinternetmarketer.com” just yesterday, I noticed a lot of URLs that I would never expect any visitors from.

You know the ones I mean, the buy-viagra-prolong-your best-body-part.com kind of sites. How are these guys doing this? Well, this is quite easy to do. They are adding your URL to their sites and then they are clicking the link themselves. And most of the times, they are clicking it multiple times because if they would be doing it just once, you probably wouldn’t notice it in your stats. At least not, if you are getting a lot of visitors.

It seems they are expecting that website owners are constantly checking their stats and as such are visiting the sites that have sent them visitors. Yes, I confess, I am sometimes doing exactly that. But what are they expecting – that I am buying a 10 bottles of viagra for Internet marketers? This kind of spam is completely untargeted and therefore I highly doubt that it is effective for these spammers…

I am speaking for myself now but I would NEVER buy anything from a spammer of any kind. I am not supporting these guys by buying the stuff the are trying to push down our throats!

What do you think about this? Are you noticing this trend on your sites as well?

I am waiting for your comments…

This article is about information overload and regarding the moment you realize that you already know enough…

Again and again I am seeing that many people get into a trap or “loop” of buying ebook after ebook, software after software and course after course looking for the “magic formula to success”. And after they have purchased them, these items are collecting digital dust on their harddrives.

Why is that the case…?

I honestly believe most of it stems from pure laziness. We think this online stuff should be easy… So we search in vain for the easy formula. After all, there are so many products coming out from the left and the right which are promising us “instant overnight riches”. “Yes, you can make $10,000 in 48 hours” or that kind of crap. And newbies believe it!

Instead of implementing what we have read already, we hop on this next best opportunity and procrastinate with the things we should be doing because we think there’s still more to it. Where again is that magic button which we need to push?

Until one day we realize that the formula to making money online is never simple and that we already know how to be successful online but we never took action. You have been reading ebook after ebook and then suddenly, you are realizing you know all of it already.

Congratulations – you have just discovered that it takes hard WORK to become successful! And even though you read about it a few times, you simply couldn’t believe it. Because you never took action and you were always afraid to make a start in the first place!

I’ve seen people who have spent 1000s of dollars looking for this “magic bullet”. But they never find it. Why? Because there isn’t one. Or when one emerges it doesn’t last long: The market becomes saturated with people running after the opportunity and overnight, the opportunity loses it’s power.

When are these opportunities released…?

Most of the times, these products are being published AFTER they’ve lost their pulling power. And in order to make the best out of it, the “smart” marketers who have been using them in the past are publishing their old strategies which have stopped working for them and try selling them as the “holy grail” of Internet marketing.

This is why I think it is very important to hang out in forums and also read the newsletters of your favorite Internet marketers and read all the free stuff out there and then choose a path that is suited to YOU, first. After you’ve decided what path is best, then buy a few eBooks/softwares related to just that path and don’t let yourself become distracted… because it’s all about focus.

Commit to it and don’t be distracted just because you see everyone else running to the “New Big Thing” – the next great opportunity. There will always be something new out there!

Everyone’s going to be selling you something. All of them will convince you it’s the next best thing but they are just SELLING something.

I’m not saying don’t buy anything. I am selling products of which I think they could be helpful to you, too.. ;-). I only am saying focus on a specific area (e.g. Adsense or Clickbank affiliate marketing) and get to work. Don’t get bogged down by purchasing every new thing that comes along… (Affiliate Rockstar anyone..?). This will never stop. There will always be new products to google over…

You need to know when to stop. It’s a bit of an addiction, but admitting you have a problem is the first step:)

So take a look at what you have. Take a look at yourself and make a decision to start acting. Start putting your money into your business (e.g. advertising in ezines or doing PPC) instead of info products.

Start today!

Today, I want to start a new period of Internet marketing for me: The Video Period.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been experimenting with the creation of videos. You know, for my coaching on Mauritius, I bought a video camcorder and I thought, it would be a good idea to make some videos telling you some Internet marketing things directly from me to you.

Anyway, the reason why I am contacting you today is because I want to shatter a myth…

Hi Detlev,

I am wondering if you could possibly help me. I just lost my primary source of income and don’t know how I’m going to pay my rent and feed my family. I have purchased many hundreds of ebooks on how to make money online, etc but nothing has worked for me yet. I need a way to make money starting right away. If you know of a method I can put into practice where I do say step1, step2, etc and I will make money I would be forever in your debt sir.

I’m asking you because I’m one of your customers and out of all the gurus I buy products from you seem like you are the most honest and caring of them all. Any help you could provide me with would be awesome. I’m not asking for a hand out maybe just a hand up to make my own money asap as my financial situation is very critical at this point.

Sincerely,
James

Hi James,

Thanks for your trust in me and calling me a “guru”. But in fact, I’m no better than you… The difference might be that I am taking action on what I am reading about and you may not be taking action or you may be taking the wrong steps.

Internet marketing is very much about trying and testing things rather than giving someone a 1,2,3 step action plan which might not be suitable for everyone. Because what is working for others doesn’t have to be the best plan for you. You need to try out things and then find your own way rather than just trying to follow someone’s footsteps.

You must be enjoying the process and not just the money…

You can be making money by selling (unique) products, by reselling other people’s products (requires you to have a list, first) or by publishing content. If you don’t have the technical experience or the knowledge about product creation/selling online and everything that’s related to it (e.g. unique selling proposition/JV marketing/affiliate marketing/customer support) then the best option would be just publishing content/ making an income from VRE type of sites.

That’s also what I recommended to my personal coaching client on Mauritius! But a lot of that requires you to outsource tasks as well. You can do these things yourself but it will take you longer to see success.

Anyway…

You have the best qualifications to make money though…

Because since you’re already a member of my Niche Content Websites and of Backlink Solutions, you just need to put the stuff into ACTION and not let them collect digital dust. I can be wrong but I suppose, you have not been doing anything with both of them so far because if you had, you would not be asking me about how to make money with them. There is no push-button solution to making money. You have to invest your time or your money and sometimes both.

All of the techniques require time in the same way that someone wants to lose weight. I mean, if someone is 50 pounds overweight, you wouldn’t expect that he could lose those pounds in a week or two would you? And it’s the same in business… It’s about all the little steps taken together which will give you the results over time – not in a day or two.

Now each small step on its’ own will probably not give you the desired results but once you combine all the little steps you’ve taken, you’ll be making a huge step forward towards your income goals. Internet marketing also is about consistency. If you’re not consistent in your actions, you won’t get far either. Meaning, if you’re promoting your site(s) by getting 1 or 2 backlinks altogether and you stop getting more links then you won’t become very successful. On the other hand, if you’re getting 1-2 backlinks a day or every 2 days it can make a complete difference. Be consistent!

Anyone who tells you, you can be making money in a week or two by just doing a certain type of actions is lying because he is supposing that you already have all the background info which he probably received as education in the years before he had his breakthrough…

So if you need a step by step plan which will be making you money based on what you already have, then here it comes:

Step 1: Download your Adsense sites from Niche Content Websites.

Step 2: Do your keyword research and find the best niches within these Adsense sites to get into by doing a search for the main keywords of each niche at:

www.nichebotclassic.com/

This will give you the number of searches AND the competition. Choose the keywords with the least amount of competitors in Google (preferably with less than 1000 websites for that keyword).

Step 3: Register individual domain names for the niches that you want to get into – include your keywords whenever possible.

Step 4: Get a hosting account for multiple sites. I would choose Hostmonster for this because it allows you to host unlimited domains which is what you’ll need and the price is just $5.95 a month which is a steal.

Step 5: Upload the sites to your domains (edit the config files first just – see instructions)

Step 6: Get as many backlinks to the sites as you can. This is where Backlink Solutions comes into play…

Step 7: Login into your Backlink Solutions account and make a post to the blogs which are suitable for that category – use the keyword expression (the one which has not a lot of competition) and link it back to your Adsense site – not just to the index page but to the individual HTML page that is using the keyword
expression –

e.g. link “flyfishing in alaska” to

www.flyfishingexpert.com/flyfishing-in-alaska.htm

This means, you need to prepare at least 4-5 posts (150-200 words each) which are unique. You need different ones because if you’re posting the same articles to all relevant blogs and the blogs which are suitable for all topics, it could probably raise a red flag with the search engines.

There are 3 ways to get your posts written:

a.) Write them yourself from scratch

b.) Rewrite Private Label articles you have (these can even be the ones which are using on your sites as long as you rewrite them completely!!)

c.) Outsource this step by going to Scriptlance.com and posting a project there… You will be looking for an article writer who can also make these posts to Backlink Solutions’ blogs on your behalf.

The cheapest option, of course, is to do it yourself by rewriting PLR articles and posting them to the blogs yourself. But this means that you need to invest your time instead of your money. Do NOT SKIP this step – whatever option you choose!

Step 8.) Combine this with Bum Marketing (article marketing). Meaning instead of just having backlinks from Backlink Solutions blogs, improve upon the strength of your sites by implementing article marketing as well.

Write at least 5 unique articles about your chosen subject(s) and submit them to:

www.ezinearticles.com
www.articledashboard.com
more4you.ws/articles

In your resource box, you link back to your Adsense sites again and thus you’ll get more backlinks with your keywords included which in turn will give you great rankings and visitors from the search engines. These articles can also get picked up by ezines within that niche which can also mean direct visitors from these
published articles and not just from the search engines.

That’s it. Follow this plan and you WILL be making money – it’s a can’t fail plan if you follow the steps and are putting them into action!!

There’s no doubt about this. The problem is that most people are not willing to put in that much work. e.g. most members of my NCW are just uploading the sites to their servers and are expecting the search engines to magically index their sites and give them great rankings. It doesn’t work that way. Without backlinks, the Adsense sites are like dead ducks in the water.

You seem to have recognized this because you have joined Backlink Solutions. Now it’s time to TAKE ACTION ON IT!!

The plan which I have laid out for you doesn’t require further investments than the ones you’ve already laid out in the past. Only if you want to speed up the process, you should be investing in outsourcing.

Remember: Just reading it will get you nowhere.

It’s action that counts!

Detlev

Some weeks ago, I told you about a new SEO service called Backlink Solutions which allows you to get backlinks to your own website easily. You just have to make posts to the blogs which are included in their network and you will be getting backlinks to your websites easily. And not just one link to your main index page but even to subpages. These links are coming from blogs which are at least 1 year old and which all have Google Pagerank. Moreover, you can do this for as many sites as you want!

I’ve now had enough time to test the service and I must say that I am very positively surprised what an impact using their service has had on my search engine rankings for my main Internet marketing website. Of course, I cannot reveal what other niches I am in but I am willing to show you how far I got with regards to this website that you are visiting right now. In the review video which I have created for you, I will be showing you which keyword I have achieved great results for so far.

As you probably already know, with regards to search engine optimization, the best thing you can do is to get backlinks to your own site using your main keywords as your link text. Then you will rank highly for these keywords in the search engines. Do this often enough and you will be getting a real boost for your sites…! But getting these backlinks has been quite difficult and time consuming in the past.

I want to stress again that the blogs within the Backlink Solutions network are completely white hat, meaning there are no tricks being used which are against the search engine rules. Basically, all you need to do is make a unique post to one or more of the blogs within their network and link your keyword phrase back to your website (I will be showing you in the video how to do this in practice).

This is nearly the same action as posting an article to an article directory and having a resource box with a link back to your site – so it’s nothing illegal.

Today, I want to show you about the effectivity of this service for my own website and give you a closer look behind the scenes and a look at the actual salesletter in case you were still sitting on the fence because of the squeeze page. I don’t like it very much either that they put it there instead of the salesletter but they wouldn’t change it even though I talked to them about this. But nevertheless it’s a service I highly recommend or I wouldn’t be writing and talking (in the video) about it today.

Their salesletter says that you can easily pay more than $200 a month just in order to rent 5 links on websites with a Google Pagerank of 5 or higher if you’re using a text link broker. That is very expensive and is certainly NOT in anyone’s budget. I know what I am talking about because it is something I have done in the past, too. And now I don’t have to anymore… I can be getting links from over 100 blogs which are permanent and not just rented.

Here’s another subheadline from their salesletter: “High Quality, Niche related One Way Backlinks From Web Sites with good Google Pagerank, Spider Activity and trusted by Google, Yahoo and MSN“. This means that once you are making a post on these blogs, your link will automatically get followed by the search engine spiders because they are visiting these sites on a daily basis. And the quicker your sites can be found, the earlier you can be making money from it.

It is also important to know that you can make as many posts to these blogs as you want – you just have to make sure that you’re making a new post every time you want to link to a different page or different site of yours. In other words, there is only 1 link per post allowed and the post texts have to be UNIQUE – This ensures that the quality of the blogs and the whole network remains strong. The texts which you are posting there don’t have to be long. Even if you’re not a writer, this will be quite easy for you.

They have about 100 web sites that you can post to and they are across 60 plus unique IP addresses. This is important because if all backlinks to your website were coming from the same IP address, it could raise a flag and get you penalized because that is what search engine spammers are doing when they are interlinking their own websites.

One thing I forgot to tell you about is that they have put a cap on the number of members that can get in to preserve the integrity of the network. This cap is at 300 members and I think that they can reach this any time within the next 2-6 weeks… If you’re looking for an excellent way to boost your rankings in the search engines then look no further because this is it.

This is especially true for members of my Niche Content Websites membership site as I’ve noticed that many members are just uploading their ready made sites without getting ANY backlinks… This can’t work. Without backlinks, you’re not getting search engine traffic.

But you have to become active – meaning you need to make these posts with your backlinks on a regular basis or it won’t work!! So if you’re someone who is not taking action after buying a product or joining a site then don’t join… I mean it! I am personally very satisfied with their service and with the results I got.

If on the other hand you are making your posts regularly and you’re also interlinking your subpages using this blog network then you can be assured that this will be money very well invested!! You can see that it works if you watch the video below.
