Legitimate Work From Home Businesses

The easiest legitimate work from home businesses is becoming and affiliate and selling other peoples products. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways you can start making money online, because you don’t need to make your own products and there is no inventory where you have to invest capital.

Affiliate marketing can be started without money.

All you have to do is to be the “middle man” so to speak. Your task is to find hungry markets and then put a product in front of them and see if you can convert it into a sale.

In online marketing it really comes down to two things.

(1) Finding the right buying keyword.

(2) Finding the right product that will convert with that keyword.

Sometimes you can find the right keyword, but then the product you’re promoting fails to convert. The answer here is to rotate products / offers and find out which one converts and then just promote the winners.

This brief business model above is how I make a full-time living online and how many other affiliates make money online.

Working From Home Opportunities

One of the biggest problems online is finding the right opportunity that will make you money.

Well one of the biggest things people get stuck with is information overload. So much so that they don’t end up trying anything at all, thinking to themselves internet marketing is really just a pipe dream and that it won’t work anyway.

People get stuck with, why try it, it won’t work anyway. Or they say oh SEO I’ve tried ranking for keywords in the past and although I rank for the keyword, it doesn’t convert or they say things like I am trying to rank for a keyword, but no matter how many links I throw at it I still can’t rank for it…what am I doing wrong?

Sound familiar?

Well I have new for you. Stick at it until you are successful. If something isn’t working, then stick at it until it does.

Here’s a Work At Home Opportunity that shows promise.

So What’s New?

Ok, so I haven’t updated my blog for a little while and found some very interesting. All of my pages have lots ranks in google.

Seems to be the case with my other wordpress blog as well. So my theory is this. If you have a wordpress blog or just any old blog, google needs to see a constant stream of posts made else your blog will start to drop in the serps.

It would be of interest to know how well a static webpage goes . I feeling is that a static webpage will retain its rankings in google over the same period and applying the same conditions .

So moral of the story is…if you have got a blog then keep blogging.

Whoops - I Did It Again!

I made some changes to the permalinks in my wordpress settings and low and behold big Google gave me the big “Smack Down”. Lost all my rankings again in Google because of it.

Looks like Google is having to re-establish the url addresses, because after doing a site search in Google it shows that a lot of my pages have been updated 12 to 17 hours ago; pages that I haven’t touched in months and months. The only change is the url. Why did I change the url? Good question. It was because a so called SEO “Guru” said that it was conducive to good Google rankings. Which worked the oppose for me. Anyhoo, to be fair I think he ment to make these sort of changes when you first set up your wordpress blog.

So does this mean that big Google has to re-evaluate each page again? Possibly, given the location to the information has changed. I’m pretty sure though that Googles Algorythm is smart enough to know what has actually transpired here and that my rankings will return to normal soon. Soon is sometimes not nearly soon enough aye.

Well you live and learn. Anyway, if your are looking for a wordpress or SEO expert…”bags NOT me”!

Paid Traffic Vs Free Traffic

At some point in time in your internet marketing career you will be faced with the question, “Should I pay for traffic” or should I try and generate traffic for free?

For me I have been doing both, and a lot of people would be doing the same thing, However, I am starting to think that you really do need to specialize, at least in the short term. By this I mean you either concentrate on getting traffic from a paid source or you go SEO and Social networking and try to beat the odds there.

To me going down the SEO path is a losing battle, because first you have to know what you are doing to even place on the first page of Google for a given search phrase. Then when you get there you have to compete with everyone else who is trying to dominate that keyword as well. What tends to happen is that even if you get on the first page of Google, Google constantly is reassessing webpages both old and new and evaluating the most up to date conversations on certain topics. Which is why you are on the first page one day and off the very next.

If you go down the paid traffic path then you need to be able to manage traffic. Effectively you become a manager of traffic as a opposed to a generator of traffic. You don’t have to wait around for your webpage to be indexed by Google, and you don’t have to worry about competing to keep your url on the first page. All you have to do is point the traffic in the right direction and then see what converts. Well it’s not as easy as that, but if you take out the learning curve then that’s all there is – right?

All you have to do is keep pointing traffic in the right direction and profit from it. You can effectively have a campaign up and running within a day or so and be profiting from it that day or close to it.
