VBM Articles – Consistent Focused Action

Hi Friends,

How is your work going on?

Yesterday was a total disaster for me. I could submit only 4 articles because of my other priorities.

So today I have a heavy work load and so far I am hugely 21 Articles behind my scheduled number of articles till date.

This is the reason I need to focus more on completing backlog as quickly as possible.

Tomorrow I will post the today’s status. Till then bye and best of luck.

Status so far:

Total No. of Articles Submitted to EZA: 9

CB Hops : 37

CB Sales: Nil

Hi Friends,

So here I am posting my current status for the 10 Articles a Day Project.

1) Pick 5 CB Products – DONE

2) Perform Market Research for those Products – DONE

3) Find out Min. 20 Keywords per Product – DONE

4) Prepare 5 Landing Pages for All Products – DONE

5) Submitted 5 Articles to EZA – 50% DONE

Here I could not get enough time to write more than 5 Articles yesterday because of other activities.

But Today I will have to complete my backlog. So I will have to write more than 10 articles.

OK some tips for people who are working on these type of article marketing projects:

1) To increase your article writing speed, you can also use speech recognition software like Dragon Naturally Speaking. I am currently using it in my project and I must say it has tremendously cut my article writing time to nearly half. It generally take 30 minutes to write 1 article for me. But with DNS I can complete a single article within 10-15 minutes.

DNS gives you nearly 70-90% accuracy. So you will have to proofread after you finish speaking the article. That will take you another 5-10 minutes. SO it will take around 20-25 minutes per article. So this has increased my article speed by more than 30%. When you gather time required for 10 articles then it drastically reduced from 300 minutes to 200-250 minutes.

SO DNS can reduce your writing time drastically. I recommend using it if you face difficulties writing article yourself. It will take some time initially while setting up the software and recognizing your voice commands properly. But after some practice,everything will fit in its place properly.

2) Write in groups of 2-3 articles per niche. This will obviously increase your comprehension speed and will reduce your article completion time.

So this is it for now. I will write today’s status in tomorrow’s post.

Till then bye and best of luck.

Hi Guys,

Since many days I have not posted my CB stats. So here I am posting my current CB income status.

Note that whatever income is coming, I am getting through entirely Article Marketing way.

I know its way lower than what we have targeted initially. But it is entirely because of my lack of concentration and focus.

Anyways now I want to focus solely on Article Marketing Strategy and keep it focused until we achieve our target.

I will post the Articles status till late night. Till then good bye.

Hi Fellow Wannabe Internet Entrepreneurs,

I am back after a long break…..

So the very first thing I want to do is to post another simple but not so simple 30 Day Challenge…

10 Articles a Day Challenge

This will be a 30 Day Challenge where all the steps are pretty self explanatory…

1. Pick 5 CB Products
2. Prepare 5 Landing Pages
3. Drive Traffic By Posting Articles to only one Directory that is my favorite EZA

I really like to challenge myself to actually sit down and write 10 articles in a row or at least 5 articles –> 30 Minutes Break —> and then last 5 articles batch.

My Basic Strategy for this Project:

Our Goal is to earn min. 1000 in the first month.

After first month, we will check our EZA stats and then will decide which articles we need to focus to start Backlinking campaign.

After the end of the first month, we will have enough money to outsource the article writing which will provide us ample time for managing our backlinking campaigns.

This project is specifically for those people who want to create the seed money for their upcoming projects. But anyone can join it. The only obligation is once you join then you need to focus solely on this project.

No looking back, no checking out next new amazing systems, etc.

So We will begin now.

Your first task will be to choose best 5 products. Perform market research and keyword research. Find the best 20 keywords for each product. Make 5 Landing pages on whatever web 2.0 properties you like.

You don’t need any education here I guess. You will get plenty of help from countless guides available here.

The only missing part of these guides is the CONSISTENT FOCUSED ACTION which we are going to cover here LIVE.

So stay tuned and complete your basic tasks asap. We are going to write lots of articles from tomorrow.

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE GOING TO PARTICIPATE….

Day 6,7, 8: March 28, 29, 30 2010: So far only submitted 1 press release about second new niche.

I am really disappointed and bit angry on myself. I could not able to complete my daily tasks due to my own laziness. I must apologize to all for that. I spent majority of time researching and finding out the short cut methods. But as we know, there is no short cut to success. We have to work hard. There are 3 things which we need most to be successful in our life.

1) Talent

2) Hardwork

3) Luck

Though we have a talent we lack in producing consistent hard work. Only Consistent Focused Action can make us the income which we want in our life. Sometimes we forget what we strongly believe.

From tomorrow I am planning out my schedule and adding two more niches to my product list. One of them is Adsense niches and other one is Amazon products.

I will report you about tomorrows activities soon. Till then good bye.

Day 5: March 27, 2010 – Its Day 5 my friends. I hope you are doing well.

Today I took a break from the work. I performed other niche related research for the whole day and spent rest of the time playing MMORPG game known as Wolfenstein Enemt Territory.

But the press release I submitted yesterday is still getting some traffic and within 2 days my hop counts for niche 1 goes upto 50. 2 Persons even clicked order button but no sales yet.

So there are no sales till date yet. But I am positive that we will some some income rolling in neext week. Till that time, keep working and focus on your goal… Most importantly Enjoy What you are doing…

Good Luck,

Vishal

Hi Folks, how you are doing? I hope everything is fine for you.

So Today I have actually started to implement various Traffic Modules which I have written down yesterday.

But it was very time consuming. At first glance, I though it would be very easy to accomplish all the above tasks.

But it took me ages to write down 1 Press Release and to create 1 Video.

I have submitted 1 keyword optimized PR to a press release site we mentioned above and 1 optimized video to Youtube.

I was not able to submit any article today which was very disappointing. But anyways its a part of game.

You need to stick to a plan no matter what happens. The Press Release which I submitted today was viewed 73 times. It brought around 21 visitors to my landing page which generated around 15 hops. There were no sales. But still its a good start I think. We will see how it goes on from this point onward.

My main target from tomorrow will be to at least accomplish the given tasks every day and I am 100% confident that this traffic plan will work very effectively. We will just have to stick to the plan. period.

So thats it for now and I will see you tomorrow with exciting results may be…

Day 3 – 25th March 2010 :

Today was a lengthy day for me. It took nearly 3 hours to setup my first Landing Page for Niche #1.

I choose Blogger blog for a presell page. I think they are very convenient for any Internet Marketers.

I have chosen nearly 8 niches to market this month and next month. I am already marketing 3 of them. So there are 5 new niches for me which I selected yesterday. Here is what I am planning to do for the upcoming days:

Product Research:

Select 5 Clickbank Products to Promote  ——>  Done

Keyword Research :

I am planning to market one niche every day. And I am going to target 3 keywords per niche every day.

So keyword research will be an ongoing activity for me. In the morning , the very first thing for me will be to find out min. 3 keywords for a selected niche.

My Traffic Strategy:

I am thinking of following my special Scatter Marketing Approach.

Scatter Marketing Approach is my own invented thing which is as follows:

Every day I will be following this plan for a single niche. I will be focusing on only one niche for any given day.

3 Articles Submitted to EzineArticles.com

3 Press Releases Submitted to i-newswire.com

3 PDF/Doc files submitted to Docstoc.com

3 PPT submitted to Slideshare.net / Scribd.com

3 Videos Submitted to Youtube.com / Tubemogul.com

10 Answers submitted to Yahoo Answers / Answerbag.com  / Yedda.com, etc.

Instead of following traditional Bum Marketing Formula, we will have to now follow this improved Article Marketing Strategy which is proven for 2010. Only submitting Articles to EZA is not effective anymore. There is lot of competition from Premium members now who are mass submitting articles there. And your articles get very little exposure after immediate publication.

That is why we need to minimize this risk and diversify our traffic strategy. Mass submitting content to all above different traffic sources will make sure that we will get definite traffic to our landing pages every day.

Repeat this cycle every day till the next month. After this testing, we will chose the most converting products and drop the non-converting products. Finally we will start mass backlinking campaign for the most converting products. And then we will repeat this cycle for new products every month.

One Last thing is Don’t forget to install website analytics program like Statcounter or Google Analytics. This is very important step and don’t forget to do that. This analytics will tell us how many visitors we got and which keywords are converting for us. So don’t forget this step at all.

I wish you best of  luck,

Vishal

Day 2 : 24th March 2010  —>  This day I spent more time on Niche Research and Market Research.

The main sites for Clickbank Product Research Which I usually use are:

1) Cbengine.com

2) CB-Analytics.com

These sites provide you easy user interface and you can find top ranking products easily in each category. Just select Top 10 or Top 20 Products in a selected category in CBEngine and You can easily find out the top ranking products in that category.

After selecting some products , its time to check whether they are really selling or not. The main criteria I use for this are:

1) Product gravity should be at least 30.

2) Sales page must look professional

3) Put yourself in your customer’s place and read the sales page. Did it entice you to buy? This is a best strategy to identify the converting sales pages.

4) Look at the gravity graph in the CBengine for every product. Is it rising or falling? This is also important to check the product popularity.

5) Check out some forums by searching main product keyword + forum in google and you will find whether there is really any demand for that product or not.

6) Also Check Yahoo Answers for gauging the demand in the market.

7) Another cool tool is Google Insights. Put your product keyword and check out the resulting trend. You will pretty damn idea about the product movement in the market.

Put your main product keyword in Youtube and check out how many videos are there. This will also give you fair idea about the product popularity.

OK these criteria are enough to check whether the product is really converting or not.

I spent almost 5 hours to research and find out the best 5 niches with 5 suitable CB products for them.

Now its time to perform keyword research and to come up with at least 10 profitable keywords. Tomorrow I will be doing keyword research and I will tell you how to identify the low competition and most profitable keywords in any niche. So Stay tuned….

Here is My Current Clcikbank Earnings Till Date. (I will be posting the earnings as and when I will have some income from the above project..)

Hi Friends, Today 23rd March 2010, is the day when I am actually going to write down my daily action steps of my IM business. This is for those people who are desperately looking for the Magic Bullet which actually never exists anywhere in this universe. There is always needed some kind of action to make another reaction. This is Newton’s 3rd Law by the way.

Ok so here is my current status:

Since last 2 years, I have not made much progress in IM. But this year, I am really desperate to make it BIG. Currently my main source of Income is only Clickbank. And I am making only around $100 – $200 every month. This is nothing I know. But the problem was I never took it so sereously ever before. And now it is exactly opposite.

Here is my current Clickbank account proof:

So as you can see, I am only making around $100 – $200 every month. I am now trying my best to achieve at least $500 figure before the end of the next month. So My current objective will be to at least earn $500 per month from Clickbank before 30th April 2010.

My main method of income will be using only Free Traffic Resources. And The Major of this technique is Article Marketing.

So we will first start with the traditional Article Marketing and then will expand upon it when the times comes.

My tommorrow’s action plan will be like this:

1) Select 5-10 medium gravity clickbank products to promote.

2) Perform basic market research, product research using following resources:

a) Yahoo Answers and Other answer sites like yedda.com, blurtit.com

b) Niche Forums (By searching product related keywords + forum in Google)

2) Now finally select 5 products out of 10 and then perform keyword research.

3) My target is to get at least 10 keywords per niche in the first try using keyword tools like Wordtracker and Google Adwords Tool. If you want you can also use a paid keyword tool and my favorite one which I use on a daily basis and that is Micro Niche Finder.

Keywords should get at least 1000 Phrase searches in a month according to a Google Keyword Tool. And The competition in phrase should not exceed 20000 or intitle competition should not go beyond 500. This is my personal criteria and it can vary person to person. But in the beginning we only have to target medium competition and decent searched keywords so that we can hit first page of google asap.

So this will be the action plan for me and I will see you tomorrow.

(Tip: REMEMBER  TO TAKE ACTION.)
