I decided to make a series of small reports dedicated to the newbies online. It will deal with things like setting up a site, blog, editing html, hosting, domainnames etc etc.

All in a step by step guide way with maybe video to make it all even more clear.

I have asked several friends which parts of owning a website/blog they have dificulties in or whished they had a step by step guide for but I can always use more input.

So if you are struggling to get a website online or have questions that you un into let me know.

I have been coding again and made a product that if you are an affiliate I think at least should take a look at.

Do you check your stats? Do you spend maybe to much time login in into several affiliate networks just to take a look and see if you earned any money? I do … and I guess I am not the only one. Maybe you do not want to admit it but if you would time all the moments that you are non productive I guess this is one of the major pitfalls

STATS CHECKING DOESN’T MAKE YOU MONEY

So… what i did was this

I created a tool that automaticly logs into your account at 17 different affiliate networks. CJ.com , clickbank , azoogleads , neverblueads etc etc and queries the stats. returns the result of all those in one screen.

All mixed with a bit of AJAX so it’s lightning fast because all requests are done simultane in different processes and no need to refresh the browser. When the query at an affiliatenetwork is done that result is displayed in the browser.

A small screenshot of it

I have for a limited time an offer for it at the warriorforum. So if you goto this post you can get it for a special price. If you are not a member yet of the warriorforum I highly recommand that you join it today.

When you build a site about the topic the main research you should do is to try and get an idea which words will score. Upto now there were several ways to get global ideas about the searchvolum a word gets.

One of those is a free tool made for the 90 day challange by the owner of Wordtracker. At http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends/ you could enter a keyword or phrase and when you see the results there is a graphbar. If you click that you will get this result

There is a result that says actual vistors from Google. This is based upon Google Trends and comparing the word with a word Wordracker knows how many visitors came from that word as they hold the #1 position.

But it was still an estimation….untill yesterday. Google opened up the numbers and now shows actual data in stead of a green bar. Take a look at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Besides the search volum of your keyword you get also the search volum of relevant other keywords which will make it a lot easier to know which words to target… and best of all it’s FREEEEEEEE

I will write an other post about how I am able to install 100+ wordpress sites in relative fast time but what I do need now is a tool that allows me to manage posts, categories, pages, plugins etcetc without me loggin in each time for each domain.

I know there is some software that is able to handle this but I forgot to bookmark it. Need to look for it again.

If you know which tool i mean let me know.

Making the sample sites for ABB I found products that I hadn’t seen before. One of those was a Motorized Electric Golf Cart

The funny thing about it is that it’s a golf cart but it’s also a chopper wich will carry you and your golfbag across the golfcourse.

The cart is also called Turf Chopper

Other products that caught my eye were theelectric golf carts Having an electric cart makes it easier to carry your golfbag around the course when you don’t have a caddy.

Seven small tips to gain more traffic to your site

1. Comment on blogs
Find the blogs that deal with the same topic as yours and post comments on them. Make it interesting and add value.
2. Bookmark sites
Use a service like onlywire.com to have your site bookmarked at 30 sites with the touch of 1 button.

3. Post on Forums
Ask and aswer questions. Use it wisely and do not spam your links. Two great sites that can help you track the right forums that are about your topic are www.findyourforum.com and www.bigboard.com

4. Create a video
There are several free tools that will help you to make a video even without having a camera. You can make video´s using photo´s with windows mavie maker which is standard installed if you have Windows XP. A free tool which can be used to record your screen activatie and publish it as a movie is Camstudio

5. Unique content
Should have been number 1…. if you create unique and good content you will get traffic as people refer to you

6. Buy links
It´s frowned upon by search engines but you can use a service like text link ads and buy links to your site.

7. Blog carnivals
Participate in a blogcarnival

Ever wanted to have a blog but were not sure how it should be installed, optimized and which plugins work the best and what options to choose?

After installing so many wordpress sites for myself and also for others I want to make this into a service.

I will install and optimize Wordpress for you for FREE….

but only if you order hosting at one of these highly recommanded places thru my link.

* Hostgator
* Dreamhost
* Hostmonster

All 3 have high ratings among webmasters and are riliable places to host your site(s). I use them myself and have accounts there and have never had any troubles. They allow unlimited domains on most of the hostingpackages. That was my main reason to get accounts at them. (At Hostgator I even have 2 accounts as I do not want more then 100 sites at 1 account altho they offer unlimited)
When you sign up for a hostingaccount thru my links above make sure to clear your cookies first (IE Extra->Options-> General->Clear Cookies; Firefox Extra->Options->Privacy->Show Cookies-> if there are cookies listed for hostgator etc select that cookie and hit the delete cookie button)

After signing up email me at printcoach [at] gmail.com. I will help you to setup a blog, optimize it and have you blogging in no time.

Cheers,
Edwin

PS …if you already have a hostingaccount take a look at those hostingservices and compare it with what you have …I am 100% sure you will agree with me why I recommand these.

Ok…the first template is ready and I had it for sale for a few days and it is downloaded 40+ times now and gets very positive feedback.

I saw that I made a mistake in the url in my previous post as I linked to my deblogging site. The site with the Niche Wordpress Templates is located at http://www.wpnichetemplates.com

The very first Template is a template all about the Beauty Niche (skin care etc is a highly sought for niche) and is build with a niche site in mind instead of a blog. So in my opion it doesn’t look like a blog but uses wordpress as an engine and so it’s a highly seo-ed (i have included the plugins) site.

To get things going I priced the template at an absurd amount….My wife is saying I am crazy and insists that I should ask more but all I want is a customer that things…WOW THIS IS A GREAT DEAL…..so the price is only $4.50

For $4.50 you will receive the template, psd of the header and a custom admin panel so you can change the ads without knowing any line of code

The template demo and shop can be found here http://www.wpnichetemplates.com/products-page/

Let me know what you think about the template and if you buy it and need installing it just send me an email or post a comment and I’ll be glad to help you.

I am building a membership site where you can download 50 new and fresh niche templates for wordpress each and every month. It’s part of a serie of sites and projects that I am doing but this one will be ready first.

WP Niche Templates will be build in line of my deblogging style. The sites will look like normall sites and not like blogs and I will mainly use graphics from stockexpert.com to maintain quality. But they will use Wordpress as a engine and thus benefit from the feautres Wordpress has to offer.

I haven’t decided on a price yet but I am leaning around $0.50 per template which works out at about $24.95 a month.

This is esspecialy interesting for you if you are making website using wordpress and have a membership to a PLR site. Now you can make sites that look good and are easier to get links to and vistrs will actually like what they see and thus will faster buy things from your affiliate links.

What I include is not only an easy management system for the template but also point and click affiliatelinks and adsense integration. No html, no php all done from the admin area of wordpress.

If you are a member of Warriorforum look out for a WSO from me (edynas) as I will release a templates first thru there to get some comments and feedback.

It’s been too long that I have done anything here at edynas.com but that didn’t ment that I wasn’t working. I made a promise to myself to make more posts here and altho it’s late and I am going away for a week tomorrow I just wanted to share something.

I have been working for myself for nearly 3 years and love the freedom it gave me. But I also work hard and I have to confess not smart….you see I still trade hours for money. My main business is making personalized mugs which we sell because of our website. I have no budget for ads and do not send out flyers, brochures or whatever. We only get customers because of our rankings in the search engines. It’s great but it’s not what we want as with many businesses we started out with something and from 1 thing came an other which let to our current situation…call it dreaming but what I have in mind is traveling a lot and seeing places all over the world without worrying to much about the budget. Second I would love to be able to help others that are in need….well let’s not make this a “world peace thing” but with me and my wife it’s not only about us but also about sharing with those who need it.

What has this all to do with making money online with blogs?
Besides the mug business I have been working with wordpress sites for some time now and I absolutly love the way it works. Before I build sites by hand using notepad and it took me days if not weeks to get a site the way I wanted it. In May when my wife was away I used two weeks to setup 80 sites running on Wordpress. If I wanted too it could have been more but I wanted to have the sites a good look and feel and took the time to each site header images and content. An example is http://www.fitnessapparatuurwinkel.info/ On average each sites makes me $0.20 a day. It doesn’t sound much but after the site was done I haven’t done anything to it anymore. They are more like sites then they are blogs but benefit from the features wordpress has. Using a Google Sitemap plugin, a ratingsystem, seo title and the overall structure makes a blog a highly optimized site for the search engines.

My Google Adsense earnings for May 2007 was US$ 736.51. I was shocked to see that brings me close to what John Chow made in June with Adsense But what I finall did was something he also says to do….spread the incomestream. I got accepted to TLA (and made $6 this month) I focused more on affiliateproducts from Maxbounty and Azoogleads. Promoted some local dutch affiliateprograms and my total non business income for May 2007 came close to $1700. June slipped a bit due to a drop in Adsense which was for June $ 526.76.

The whole month of June I have been programming in php and am trying to make an application that will automate and simplify the things I did in May. It’s coming soon and I called it WP Octopus. I may be needing some betatesters for it and if you are interested to do so let me know by sending an email at printcoach @ gmail . com I’ll be back at Saturday the 14th and expect to open it up for testers the week after it. But first…I’ll go to Praque with my wife for a week…will be taking the laptop along tho as I can’t stop working on my new project. But if you email me and I don’t respond it might be because of this lil vacation.

Take care,
Edwin

PS a great thing I heared today….If you don’t do something because you are afraid it might not work….guess what..it didn’t worked for sure. Only if you try and do something things will change
