Although at the time I had heard of blogs, however, I didn’t know you could make money with one and I certainly didn’t understand how to be an affiliate marketer.  I knew people were making money online, but I didn’t know anything about how this was possible.  The more I read online, the more questions I had.  It took a great deal of time and frustration to sift through all the hype and scams, but finally I did find some really good programs that worked for me.

One Week Marketing and Word Press Goldmine along with Rob Benwell’s Blogging To The Bank have given me the tools and understanding I needed to begin an online affiliate marketing business.  These are very low cost systems that, if you commit to following their steps, will produce results that steadily increase over time.

Learn your internet marketing skills.  Learn keyword and market research.  Learn Wordpress.  Learn Squidoo.  Learn to write articles and sales copy.  Learn SEO techniques.  Learn social media optimization.  Learn all you can – I have mentioned some really good free resources in my previous posts “5 Free Education Resources That Every New Marketer Needs To Know” to help you grow your skills.  And guess what?  After a short time you will have gained real money making knowledge that most people will never know or understand.

Internet marketing and SEO techniques are also what local businesses are beginning to see the real value of, especially blogs and SEO.  More and more job listings are looking for people with internet marketing, SEO and social media skills.  Does this spark something in you?  Internet Marketing can be a valuable new skill.  Learn how to create wordpress blogs and you could have yourself a nice additional side business in your local area – installing wordpress blogs for local businesses.  Who knows, it could be your main business over time.  Every  local business should have a blog for several reasons including:

• posting regularly adds valuable, searchable information to a site
• they can quickly become an authority site in their local market
• a blog can open up a dialogue with their customers/readers and get valuable feedback
• Wordpress is really a “content management system” and they can easily manage and update their own content
• Wordpress blogs make great looking websites that are easy to customize and update

In summary, I am saying that it is very profitable to learn all you can about internet marketing and creating wordpress blogs.  These are valuable skills that have the ability to create many new job opportunities for yourself.

1.  Yaro Starak’s Blog Profits Blueprint is an excellent e-book guide to the world of blogging.  He is very thorough in his instructions and descriptions and it’s a very well thought out system that made him successful.  He also has a complete free video tutorial series to help you get started with setting up a word press blog.

2.  Ed Dale’s 30 Day Challange.  This is an incredible 30 day video tutorial covering all aspects of affilate marketing.  You start at the beginning with market research, keyword research and finding a clickbank product to market on your very own wordpress blog.  You can start anytime because you have access to all 30 days of instructional videos.  So you can move as quickly as you want anytime you want.

3.  Ryan Moran’s The Affiliate God.  This is also considered a 4 week video program, but the same holds here as well.  You can go through these at your own speed.  Ryan’s is presented differently from Ed’s, but I seemed to enjoy this one alot as it seemed to flow faster.  Also, TAG has a great forum that you can join in and network with other marketers. Ryan’s is definitely worth checking out.

4.  Caroline Middlebrook’s Blog.  Caroline offers a blog chock full of important money making information that anyone can duplicate.  She also offers 3 freebies that are a must in every new marketers tool box.  The Bloggers Bible offers 49, yes, 49 lessons on blogging.  Traffic Rush offers 10 free lessons and videos to understand how to drive traffic to your site or blog.  And this last one is a MUST to get – “How to Build Niche Sites With Word Press” e-book.  This book explains and give instructions on how to set up a wordpress niche site – not necessarily a blog.  Blogs are a lot of work and are useful when you want to dominate a niche where you must continually add fresh content so you can build a list.  A nich site is static and works 24/7 for you and you don’t necessarily need to add a blog to it.  We’ll go into detail about building a niche site later and I’ll share more resources for you then.

5.  Joey-Smith.com Joey Smith is an internet marketing expert who knows the industry inside and out.  Since April 2009, Joey has been offering free “webinars” every Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. est.  You need to pre-register before each class as there are a limited number of slots available.  Get ready for the best “hands- on” teaching experience you will ever find – aside from attending one of his paid coaching courses.   These fantastic live real-time classes are kind of like looking over his shoulder – get the picture?  You also get the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each webinar.  As of this post the class topics have been (1) Setting Up A  Blog From A to Z – Plugins To Profits (part 1)   (2) Setting Up A  Blog From A to Z – Plugins To Profits (part 2)  (3) Learn Affiliate Marketing and Fast Cash Strategies   (4) Squeeze Pages and List Building.  These are awesome video classes and he goes over step by step instructions.  And if you are in the Atlanta area, he is the MeetUp Organizer for Internet Marketers of Georgia.  We had our first meetup Thursday, April 29th and the meeting topic was Social Media Optimization.  It was an incredible group mix of internet marketing experts and beginner marketers.  Everyone will be looking forward to the next meeting.  In the meantime, join him every Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. est.  In case you can’t be there live – he also offers them on his website to view at your convenience.
