ABB will be back and it’s getting better then ever before

In April last year I created a tool called Affiliate Blog Builder (ABB) which imports products from CJ.com into wordpress. It worked good until WP 2.5. What I intended to build was what I had named project WP Octopus. It would be a tool to build affiliatesites that would have comparisontables, reviews, images, questions & answers and would work not just with CJ.com but also with Linkshare, Amazon, ShareASale, Tradedoubler and many others. ABB as I sold it then was the first step. But until 5 months ago I never had the time to develop it futher and make it up to date to work with wp 2.7. That was until January….as you might have read I went away in December 2008 and when we got back in January I made a drastic change in our company. I wanted to be 100% internet related and not depending on product of actual products. I created the prebuild sites and templates in mentioned before just to keep the cash flow comming as I knew I wanted to bring ABB back to live and finally make the product I intended all along.  In the mean while I had been working on ABB. The last 3 months it’s been almost daily and during my visit to Suriname (the country my wife comes from) I took the laptop with me and wrote a lot of code. ….the result…. :)  the new ABB is in Beta now I think it’s the ulimate tool to build affiliate sites around actual products. It has a ton of features that I always looked for myself but never found. Just to name a few…

You decide once which module to add and with every post it’s added automaticly.

I will publish a few screenshots in the comming week. I expect to have it out of Beta next week and I’ll do a promotion for my current customers, friends and people that entered my newsletter. If you want to be updated enter your name and email and I’ll send you the updates and the special promotion when it’s ready.

I don’t know why but I always scedule major things just before I leave. Or is it that the pressure of only having a few hours left before I can finish something makes me more productive

I am leaving tomorrow for a visit to the counttry where my wife is born, Suriname. We are going there for 4 weeks and I am taking my laptp with me but I am not sure about the wifi access or internetcafe’s there. So I assume I will be only online every couple of days.

Friday I launched a new Warrior Special Offer which you can find here http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/73539-prebuild-affiliate-sites-pack-2-pack-3-perfect-ipk-review-conduitstyle.html

It’s two pack’s of 10 sites build with the template I offer and filled with products from Amazon. All you do is change the affiliate id and you are up and running. Each site will cost you $8 if you buy the special deal. It’s way to low I know.

An other thing I am trying to finish before we leave is a standalone version of my eBay plugin for Wordpress. I got a lot of people asking for it as they want the plugin but not the template. See http://www.wpnichetemplates.com/ebay-plugin-for-wordpress/ where I offer the template with the plugin as a bonus.

It would be easy to just pull it out of that package and offer it like that but I was writing some code and had some ideas to incooperate in it. So I have a bit less then 24 hours to see if I can add that f not it will be an upgrade. One thing I do know is that I want to offer it for free for 3 days so you can try it and only if you like it you would have to pay for it. An offer you can’t refuse I assume

The other project that kept me bussy the last weeks is my new main site http://xlshopping.nl This is monsterious. I got datafeeds from about 900 online dutch shops that will feed this site. We (my wife and I ) are about half way of mapping the right categories to each other and a lot of code is ready. It’s a site I am real proud of and got high hopes for. It was never my intention but it looks like it’s going to be one of the largest comparison sites in the Netherlands.

I am also building small sites like
wii prijzen
playstation3 prijzen
xbox 360 prijzen
nintendo ds prijs

If only I made enough to outsource some tasks Let’s see if I can finish that eBay plugin first

Just a small note…..I have been realy busy the last weeks with the affiliate review template for wordpress that is available at http://wpnichetemplates.com It’s idea is based upon the Conduit method of Chris Rempel and I try to go for an authority kind of feel and look. I started this template mostly for myself but in the end I decided to offer for sale at warriorforum and some other forums I am a member of and it was a bit of a succes.

That also ment that I didn’t spend as much time on building sites as I wanted too.

I am creating some scripts to help me build sites faster and those will hopefully help me this month to reach my goal after all. Because building sites is still the most profitable income stream I have. I just wished I would have access to shopping.com API program as I am ove my ears into xml and api’s now and love the things that can be done with it. Maybe I will bring ABB back to live with some improvements and additions that I had been planning for over a year now…

My strategy untill recent was building small webstes around a small niche. But lately I started to think it might be a good idea to start a few large authority sites. I registered 7 domains in the field of money, health, law, travel, electronics, business and gadgets. Each will be a portal kind of site with lots of categories. The first I started to work on was the money site at http://moneyfied.com I just added 3 posts there. One about the current credit criss, buying stock in the bear market and one I like is called warren buffet quotes
The main reason why i shifted from small sites to large is the abilty to build backlinks to one point that will spread out over the whole site. With a lot of small site your attention is to much all over the place that it’s easy to stop doing all the things you would like to do in promoting a website.

But I do not say I will stop building small sites as that is a profitable way also but I will shift my focus more on the large sites.

I made a seperate part of the site dedicated to reviews and case studies. All within the internetmarketing products and tools. Anything that is related to affiliatemarketing, seo, article marketing, selling online etcetc

It’s located at http://edynas.com/reviews

The first case study is going to be about Article Marketing Automation which I talked about a few days ago. I believe it’s a must have tool for any affiliatemarketeer but I want to proof it.

So today I started a 30 day case study which you can read about here : ArticleMarketingAutomation Case Study

The creators of PLRpro have been working on something new. They created a network of sites where you can submit your article without any problems. It’s called ArticleMarketingAutomation

What does it do?
Normally when you write an article you submit it to an articledirectory and wait till it’s approved. That could take a week or even much longer. When you submit the article in differnt versions (manually spun or rewritten) then you will either need to pay someone to submit it to 100,200 or even 300 articledirectories or you will need some sort of software.

ArticleMarketingAutomation is different…. They have a network of over 2000 sites and that number is climbing. When you submit an article it’s immidiatly in the network. You decide where to place the links in the content so no biobox restricion and spinning an article is quite simple. That means that you can have hundreds of one way quality links pointing to your page. Each article can have 3 links and you are free to place it any way you like. This way you can have natural looking articles published.

What does it cost?
ArticleMarketingAutomation is priced at $47 a month. There is no limit to the number of articles you submit so if you submit 2 articles a day and spin it 100 times you will have 200 articles a day each with 3 links that is 600 quaity in content backlinks a day . The sites in the network have various PR and even at the low number of 2 articles a day that will give you the link power of 18000 backlinks.

They have an affiliateprogram and payout 50% of the membership to you for any member you refer. So if you refer 2 members you got your membership for free.
I think this is one of the must have tools for any internet marketeer. It makes building backlinks to your sites so much easier.

So after I made the decision on making $10.000 a month I realized i needed some goalsettig. I broke down the numbers and found it interesting to see that with enough small numbers a large would emerge.

Till now I always disregarded the few dollars I made here and there and always looking for the big bang.

Dennis the author from $5 a day which is a great ebook also has a site called earn1kaday and altho my first goal is $10.000 a month which is $335 a day it appield to me to as I saw good reviews from it.

So last week I decided to join and untill now I have no regrets. It’s a bussy forum and besides the great advice Dennis also provides products to download. Products I normally would buy in the warriorforum. That alone is worth more then the $39 a month. Some are a great addition to my membership site www.web2marketeer.com as they come with PLR, MRR or resale rights.

Right now there is a challenge going on where members are setting personal goals for next thuesday to write as many articles as they can. Challenges like these are great as it stimulates you …or at least it does that to me. As there are some great marketing minds in that forum there are real good tips on how to write good articles fast, finding the right niches, selecting keywords, tips on formatting etcetc..

It’s not a salesletter but I do recommand this forum. If I would advice someone interested in affiliatemarketing and internetmarketing to join forums I would list 3.

Warriorforum (free)
Earn1kaday $39 a month
Wealthy Affiliate $29.99 a month

Getting an education at school at college or even university will cost you a lot more but if you read the advice and apply the knowledge the rewards are so much greater…I just need to work on the APPLY part

I have been looking into review sites for quite some time and never really came to it. I kept on hearing good things and read the report from Chris Remple (the lazy affiliate) about what he calls conduit sites.

I do realize that just a normal site with a bunch of affiliate links is no longer the way to go. I just bought an expensive script for price comparison and have to think twice if I either make my own script or use a script I saw at Wp Review Site

I must admit that it looks very good and I am tempted. It turns wordpress into a review site by using a custom form of the post page i guess. Of course does it need a theme that can handle the extra features.

I had plans earlier to build a script for review sites , even registered a domain for it but didn’t thought of using wordpress before. Knowing how much time i have (not) it might be a good idea to just buy this.

If you have wpreview let me know what you think of it.

A bit over a year ago I had an idea about automating several task with blogging. (I have many ideas) I named this wpoctopus. If you take a look at http://wpoctopus.com you can see the members area at http://wpoctopus.com/members/ but it never made it to full development.

The idea was born after installing 80+ wordpress sites in 2 weeks and till today they still make me about $600 a month. No work besides the 2 weeks of frantic work. I even have to admit that out of the 80 maybe 25 are realy setup the right way and the rest could do some work. After those two weeks i saw the potential of wordpress in full and wanted to automate all the tasks I had gone thru by hand. I spent the months June till October working on that project but finally gave up when the high season of my normal business came.

But I still believe in Wordpress and making it a cms for affiliate based sites. The power of wordpress in combination with plugins like related posts(products), ratings, xml sitemaps, auto socialmarker and more are in my eyes obvious. But installing wordpress with the right plugins, monetize it and managing it becomes almost impossible whn done by hand with more then 100 sites. And I for one believe that it’s easier to make a site that earns $1 day then it’s to make a ste that earns $100 a day. So automing the tasks of making that $1 a day site is what I had in mind but never finished.

I have looked at alternatives but none of the tools I saw advertised did what i wanted. Most of them were all hyped up and only covered one thing. An overview of these tools

Installing as many wordpresssites as you want:

http://www.blogmatrixpro.com
cost: $97

• 7 day trial for $1
• Mass install wordpress sites
• Manage plugins (delete, activate)
• 1 site to mage them all
• RSS to blog (automtic content creation ) if you wish

Easy content management

I stunled upon Windows Live Writer and like it. It’s free (i stay Dutch) and can be downloaded at http://get.live.com/writer/overview

It’s only practical as a content management system and not for installing, modifying or editing your blog.

Yesterday I got an email about something that comes close to WP Octopus tho…the call it FirePow
It comes in two flevors: basic and premium. The diverance is that with the premium you get access to 50+ blogs with high Pagerank to build links to your sites.

I think it’s a tool that really works. Will buy it this weekend and start a casestudy with it. So be ready to see a review of Firepow here

One of the main focusses in my quest to get to 10K is CPA offers. CPA stands for Cost Per Action and is mostly used in lead generation offers. Offers where you get paid when you send a visitor to a landingpage where they need to enter their zipcode or emailadress. These offers pay anything between $0.75 to …several hundreds. But most simple offers are in the range of $1 - $5

There are several great affiliate networks that focus on these kind of offers

• AzzogleAds
• NeverblueAds
• Clickbooth
• Maxbounty

Some example ads are
An azoogleAds campain

An Maxbounty campain

The great thing about these kind of offers is that there are plenty of free trials. Fi an offer from stamps.com Thru NeverblueAds you can offer a free trial which pays you as a publisher $11.25 per lead. The EPC (earnings per click) for this offer is $1.05 which means that in everage you will earn over a dollar per click. So almost 1 out of 10 visitors you send to that offer will become a lead.

Using CPA offers like these is a great way to supplement your Google Adsense earnings.

Yesterday I bought a great report from the Lazy Affiliate Chris Rempel about a way to present the offers. I can’t tell to much about it but i guess it’s the best way to make use of affiliate products and offers and highly recommand reading it. You can get it at from here for just $15 and i think it’s money well spend.
