First of all, let me say that I don’t want to blame anyone or any Internet marketing courses.
I found a lot of Internet marketing courses didn’t BOLD this topic enough to make newbies understand what’s the most important task if they are going to make money on niche marketing.
The bad thing is… they will never know they failed on this task and this task almost decide whether you will success on your niche marketing or not.
Yes, it is ‘keyword research‘.
Sounds simple, easy, but are you sure you know it at all?
I’m sharing this because, when I’m entering into the niche marketing era. I’ve tried many niche markets with failed results.
Luckily, I didn’t given up with it and later I found out why I had to ‘failed’.
My problem is the keyword research task.
If you have done keyword research the right way, you probably win in 60% rate.
The great thing is that the remaining 40%, you can do it later, any time. 
What’s the right way to do keyword research?
There is only one rule, using the data from Google AdWords Keyword Tool with EXACT match option!
You can use the tool on Google website or it can be any other 3rd party application, just to make sure it query search data from Google AdWords.
Here is the step.
Normally, you just type your niche market keyword into the keyword box.
And normally here is the result which looks promising… (5,400/month for me is good enough if this is niche marketing website)
Anyway, this is unusable for me and it is not truly been searched 5,400/month because the default matching option of the tool is Broad match and Broad match will never drive you a laser targeted traffic!
You have to change the option to use Exact matching option. (It is on the left side)
Then, the result will refresh look like this…
Here is a measurable statistics for niche marketers who is targeting for the keyword “workout plans for weight loss”.
Yes, the truly search volume is only 880/month for this keyword, it is not 5,400/month.
So, if you are doing niche marketing, you 100% don’t want to waste your time with this keyword.
Just find a better one with this right keyword research method.
Have you heard “This requires you to do a manual work to produce a good result”?
If you’ve heard it very often, let me guess, you are in Internet marketing niche. Right?
And the truth about Google is that, Google hates the automation tool, and will penalize all activities that automated.
Good for Google because almost 90% of automation tools will produce a junk on the Internet.
So, do something manually is worth your effort.
Yo, it’s correct but actually this is non sense for techie guy like me.
I’ve graduated on Computer Science, I’m a certified professional from Microsoft and I’m a top gun programmer.
My primary objective being a programmer is to turn the manual tasks into automation as much as possible.
Yes, it will reduce the time taken and my clients will have more time to spend what make sense for them to do. Not foolish labor manual tasks.
Directory submission,
Article submission,
Social bookmarking,
Account registration,
Oh god, a lot of foolish things to do in Internet marketing right?
How can I live with those stupid tasks?
The Solution
Luckily, techie guys found a solution, they can made those manually labor tasks into a ‘semi-automated’ tool.
Actually, it is 99.99% manually, but it likes you have an assistant with you and move the mouse, click, typing, and click for you.
The result will be 100% produced by human and Google will never know this.
Yes, it is some what called Macro, Macro recording or the same.
Now it is the trend that guru made this type of semi-auto tool and trying to sell a service like manual directory submission into 1,000 directories.
And actually, they did with these macro without using the real human.
If you got the point, you can turn your day-to-day labor tasks into a money making service as well.
I’m working on it too.
Yes, finally, it came, WordPress 3.1
Have you checked your email last night?
Yup, WordPress 3.1 was released and I just upgraded my personal blog to see if it is worth to upgrade my all existing money making blogs or not.
I’ve summarized some good point after upgraded to WordPress 3.1 here to let you know what’s new is WordPress 3.1.
What’s new in WordPress 3.1 for money making blogger?
- Internal linking browser – if you would like to link to your existing content such as a specific post or page, you can browse it.
- More working space on writing interface – many unnecessary buttons, menus have been hidden in the “Screen Options” at the top right side
- Many great features for plug-in, theme developers
- Some cool features for WordPress Multisite
Is it worth for you to spend a time to upgrade all your money making blogs to WordPress 3.1?
Honestly and personally, my answer is ‘no’.
Why?
- Too few changes made for blogger to help increasing their productivity.
- Risk is too high if your money making blog is in production, can you accept the risk that some plug-ins and themes might break your blog after upgrade to WordPress 3.1?
Anyway, if my blog is for fun, I will definitely upgrade it asap.
Hope this help,
My personal single page WordPress Guide
So finally, you have chosen WordPress over Joomla, BlogEngine and etc… as your core software for your online business website.
I’m going to describe a quick short on the benefits of WordPress over those CMS.
Yeah, I call this as my personal WordPress guide.
Let’s begin the WordPress Guide with FAQ
What are the differences between WordPress and other CMS softwares?
- WordPress is originally built as a Blog, not CMS. So, the features will be less than other true CMS software.
Does this mean WordPress was limited and you will unable to scale your website up?
- Originally, yes, but if you know a good resources about WordPress plug-ins, you can do anythings you want like those other CMS software. WordPress is so flexible for extendability.
Does WordPress fit for me?
- Almost time, it is YES, or if you are a some type of technology geek and want over bloated features.
What do I need to do if I want to start my own online business website?
- This is easy, it is a proven steps and made many bloggers succeeded, just follow the below steps.
- Setup your own WordPress blog through Fantastico or depends on your hosting control panel.
- Find some good theme for your niche, commercial theme is great. If you would like to see popular theme/template resources, you can click here.
- Plan what you would like your blog to do like all posts can be shared through Facebook, social bookmarking, make some great looking gallery. Then find the plug-ins that capable and install.
- The essential for online business is list building, my WordPress guide mainly focus on this. Here is a good free WordPress opt-in plug-in.
- Don’t forget to register for free account of Google Analytics and install the code in your blog through some plug-in.
- Test and see if your blog is working all perfectly. I don’t think you need to put some monetize area now.
- It’s time to get some real traffic. What can you do? This is easy too, for beginning, try to do some keyword research but make sure it is long tail and has low competitive. Try to get some few 3 phrases keyword.
- Write a post with keyword driven technique, repeat the keywords about 4-6 times in your post. Make some of them <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <strong>, <b>, <i>
- Put some image in your post with ALT attribute as your keyword.
- Now wait for 6 hours to 2 days to get Google index your site, post. Believe me that, you don’t need to do any work to make it indexed, WordPress do this itself very good.
- Track your ranking of the keyword, when you know your rank, grab the URL that have been indexed and ranked.
- Create some backlinks to the URL you grabbed.
- Track your ranking, make more backlinks…
- Repeat until it ranks on the 1st page, top 5.
- Research more keywords and repeat until each keyword got ranked in the 1st page, top 5.
- Repeat… until your blog get PageRank 5, now Google will almost automatically drive some related traffic to your blog.
- It’s time to monetize, use the approach you want like Ad area selling, CPA, affiliate marketing or else…
This can be done and made money for me since 2009 to now!
The problem I saw from my clients is only they don’t take action.
Hope you get success with my personal single page WordPress guide.

Here I’m writing about what’s good about the casual games and how can you make money from it.
After I’ve written the headline, I found that I denied it by myself.
Because if you want to make money, it doesn’t really matter on how you ‘create’ the iPhone app but it is how you ‘marketing’ the app.
Yup, I found many good applications in the AppStore from my patient trying to browse to see the apps that stay in the position lower than 50th in each country.
But with the lack of good marketing effort (maybe the programmer didn’t do any marketing?), their apps were sink in the bottom of the AppStore and no one seen them!
So, to make a lot of money from iPhone app, I suggest this…
- If you don’t have any idea or don’t know what type of application you want to make, just focus to ‘casual games’
Why have to be ‘casual games’?
Because of now, many big names already joined in the iPhone gaming market share and they are all ported their famous games into iPhone, so, the result is,
All hard core gamers will always stick with big names’ hard core games instead of spend some bucks to try the games from indies.
So, the space for you and me almost are only ‘casual games’
The other good things of ‘casual games’ is… It takes so short time to develop compared to those hard core games.
Other thing is I found many iPhone owner love ‘casual games’ than ‘hard core games’ because they play the games on iPhone in a matter of minutes only.
Like playing in Star Buck while waiting for friends, colleagues or family.
So, they can feel more comfortably to pick a ‘casual game’ instead of ‘long time needed game’.
Well, after you have clicked with some idea to make a casual game. It’s a time to…
- Make it
If you are not a programmer, I suggest you to use some outsourcing service like freelancer.com, odesk.com, elance.com or …
Anyway, if it is possible, pick some experienced programmers from your local so you can keep track easily and your casual games will stay in timeline.
If you really can’t see where to outsource, please feel free to reply to this thread and my team might be able to help you.
- Marketing, the crucial part to be determined if your casual games will success or fail!
Nothing to say much about this, because if you are an experienced online marketer, you known how to do it.
But let me summarize various ways to do…
- Blogging about it, yes, get some domain and use WordPress.
- Using Facebook, viral marketing is always great.
- Record a short video while the programmer is working, just to show some awesome game-play of your casual games, then post to youtube, your blog, …
- When it almost finished, find some good iPhone app review websites and submit to them to make a review, this might cost you some bucks but it is efficient if you picked the right review site.
- If you have some budget, make some prize, competition to buzz it!
- Give out as free first, to make it in top ten and get some good reviews then charge later.
- Separate between free version and paid version are good too.
- Advertise in CPA network.
I strongly believe, if you can do just 70% of what I’ve written, you will get more than 500% of ROI in a few months.
But the problem is, when you will begin?
Click here for more details on How to Make Money From iPhone.
I hope you got idea now how to make money from iPhone casual games.
Nowadays, you and I have to accept than Apple had changed the mobile world.
Apple now generated a new market which continually growing on mobile application which no one ever did before. Steve Jobs is a genius.

However, the most important part is not how to create an app but how to profit from the app.
Yes, I’m talking about marketing and strategic planning.

Cheers,
As I’m one of a domain hunter, I’ve paid for DomainFace.com to use their features to reduce my time to find a good domain names.
A good domain name for me is …
- High PR
- Real PR, not FAKE, and DomainFace.com claim to be able to check for FAKE PR
- Aged
- Good name within it
However, after I’ve subscribed, I found that it lacks of what it claims to be, and it is important including…
- It is unable to detect for FAKE PR. Believe me, I’m already a stupid bidder believe DomainFace’s PR score!
- Outdated domain’s information.
Last night, I just unsubscribed.
So bad? I just lose only $3,xxx for my stupid that I’m going to believe DomainFace’s information.
As the topic I’m writing… It’s about Backlinks building.
The main question for you to land to this topic is you are having a question like me before…
“Is backlinks building worth?”
This is easy to answer, it is really worth your time and effort.
However, to make it worth, you have to do more than just building your own backlinks because usually Google didn’t index your backlinks quickly like Yahoo.
And… if Google still not index your backlink URL yet, you will receive ZERO effect to your main website at all! (Yes, in this case, it is not worth)
And… if you just build backlinks and wait until Google found your backlink URL and index it… Kick your ass, because Google might never found it!
So, the easy steps to make backlinks building worth is to…
1. Build your backlinks. (can be various strategies)
2. Collect all URLs that contain your backlink.
3. Force those collected URLs to Google to make it indexed as soon as possible! <- VERY IMPORTANT
The problem is the step #3, how can you do this?
I will write more about it in the next thread. Let me clear some of my works now.
