Broke Down Affiliate
lurksteraz on August 28th, 2007
Have you ever started a project, completed halfway only to never return to it and finish? That’s the story of my life. I have so many projects that are just sitting out there in cyber space collecting dust. Here is what happens to me:
1. Think of something that has the potential to make some cash.
2. Start researching the market and collecting keywords
3. Start working on a layout for the website
4. Think of a new domain or niche
5. Launch the new site
6. Searching for a new domain name from line 4
7. Find a few links to the newly launched website
8. Start another new layout for domain I just bought
9. and so on
You can kind of see a pattern in the way I’ve been doing it. Work on one thing and think of something else that could be better and start working on that, and the vicious cycle continues. I call this affiliate er-web-tile dysfunction. I just can’t get it going.
Solution:
I’ve started to focus on just a few niches. Starting with building a site and then further building it out. Obviously I’ll shoot for natural rankings as this is the easiest to start with, then when the time(and money) are available I can start to throw PPC advertising at some offers. I’m sure people reading this are saying, ‘go for the ppc advertising first, instant traffic’, well unless you want to deposit some cash into my paypal, I would do it. But when money is tight, I have to shoot for natural rankings.
To start, I have 3 websites I’m focusing my effort on and are ranking already for some keywords but the high traffic keywords haven;t surfaced yet. I’ll try to post some progress reports on these, so stay tuned.
