I’m going to start a new video series on how you can create niche stores for amazon, ebay and clickbank using word press blogs. I will cover the basics before moving onto such topics as creating auto posts from articles, ebay auctions, amazon affiliate feeds and you tube.

This will allow you to create your own niche stores then be able to automatically add your content to those stores thus allowing your site to rank quickly in a very short space of time.

The series will start off with the basics of finding a market / niche to promote then move onto some search engine optimization and setting the blog up. I’ll show you when to find free and some of the best paid blog themes and how to best set these up.

I will also include some information on updating your current bans stores (if you have any) to rank in the search engines.

We will then move onto which plugs in must be installed to gain quick rankings for your niche.

I will cover the tools I personally use and all of the alternative free tool that are available.

Once the blog is setup we will move onto how you setup your auto posting for your blog and how to best optimize your auto posting for best rankings.

At the end of this process you will have setup and installed your own blog and plugins, set up your preferred themes and optimized for the search engines. You will also have created niche content and embedded your affiliate links into that content to make you a steady stream of cash.

At this point you will officially be an internet business owner

I’ll be starting on the content creation within the next 2 weeks once my current ‘automated twitter software’ is complete.

How would you like some Super Web Site Trafficfor your Build a Niche Store?

This is a minor strategy that will give you a major increase in traffic but it MUST be followed for a SET period of time.. It would also be prudent to track your traffic using google analytics by simply adding the javascript that google provides to your BANS Footer of your site.

You will also need a set of article to use for your content. For this I would suggest using an article spinner like ‘jet submitter’, so head over to their web site and signup for a free account. There is no cost involved and it allows you to use the free content ‘article spinner’. this can be used to create up to 100 spun articles based on your content.

The following mini strategy is part of the ‘Traffic Mystic Secrets 2.0 – Google Mystify‘ web traffic strategy  that I have beta tested on 3 of my Build a Niche Stores and it increased traffic for my new BANS sites from zero to  2000+ in just over 4 weeks. Don’t under estimate what is to come next, it yield’s exceptional results.

The first assumption I’m making is that you already have your ‘Build a Niche Store’ setup and have it optimised for keywords or at least have you main keyword/s to target.

The steps are as follows:

1) create a squidoo lens and link it back to your main site using your keyword as anchor text
2) create a hub page and link it back to your main site and your squidoo lens (using your keyword as anchor text)
3) create 3 articles (maybe take 1 and spin it) – they must contain your keyword phrase
4) submit one article to ‘ezine’ and link it to your squidoo lens via keyword anchor text
5) submit one article to www.articlecat.com and link it to your hub page via keyword anchor text
6) submit one article to www.articlemotron.com and link it to your main site via keyword anchor text

Do this over a 5 day period. carry out 1 action per day. Rinse and repeat this cycle for 3 weeks. make sure you start your cycle on the same day.. Ie.. create a squidoo on a monday then the next monday etc.

Next you must Socially bookmark each of your sites and articles with the following sites.

• Propeller.com
• Furl.net
• Digg.com
• Technorati.com
• Del.icio.us
• Stumbleupon.com
• Twitter.com

Now ping each of the sites after the content has been created and published.

Do this using http://www.feedping.com/

An example of one of my test sites I’ve used with my full strategy ranked at number 3 / 4 (indented) within 2 weeks and that was in early testing (october 2008) and it still in the same position and here is the search traffic:

Results 1 – 100 of about 4,570,000 for

I’m above wiki / amazon and all the other big guys apart from 1 major brand who has like a million links it will take longer to over take them.. and basically that is it for this part of the strategy. It seems very very simple but yields tons and tons of traffic.

Now go off and implement this strategy for your own ‘Build a Niche Store’ or ‘PHPBay‘ site and please email me with your results.

We have been running our Traffic Mystic Strategy now for around 4 weeks and have been looking at a set of seven keyword phrases and all of the search phrases are ranked in the top 20 of google and yahoo.

Three of the keyword phrases are within the top 5 and have combined traffic of approx ‘77129′ searches a month. This has resulted in a number of sales which has so far made me nice tidy profit.

The other keyword phrases are position 9, 12, 15, and 18 and slowly rising.

So far I have implemented the basic strategy of using authority sites to rank my Build a Niche Store and using a set of social bookmarking sites that seem to have the best ranking juice. Some of the initial bookmarking sites have been dis guarded and replaced by other sites which have performed a lot better and do seem to help the traffic from the social networking sites to convert better.

Now that we have built our base network of sites we need to move onto stage 2 and create our articles to submit to ‘ezinearticles.com’ and ‘Directorygold.com’. We need to create the article to target our keyword sets and link back to our site in a way as to ensure that the link back is made permanent and viewed as such by google. Note that we cannot link back to our sites ‘Build a Niche Store’ or ‘phpBay‘ Store direct as this will get the link devalued and removed.

That’s it for now….

Thanks

This lesson will focus on a few areas, with the first being a domain name for your niche store. The domain name that you choose must NOT be a domain name that the search engines class as a spam domain. For example if you choose a domain for a golf club niche then you may want to purchase maybe a domain containing the words golf clubs and if a big enough niche brand is found then maybe for callaway golf clubs. You may think that www.callaway-golf-clubs.com is a good name and true it is very human readable BUT due to new filters introduced into the search engine algorithms this may be classed as a spam domain and you will fail to rank in the search engines for it. www.callawaygolfclubs.com is a much preferred name in the eyes of the search engines.

If you have followed the previous lessons then you should have all your accounts setup. If not then you need at LEAST your ebay account setup in order for you to make any money from the build a niche store scripts. Here is a quick link to the resources Make Money Online Resources if you have not setup your accounts.

You must also ensure that when you purchase your domain name that you set the purchase to private, so as to hide your personal details. This helps to stop the like of hackers from gaining access to your account information. Some recommended companies for domains are as follows:

• 123reg.co.uk
• godaddy.com

On the hosting side of things, you need a host that allows you to host MORE than one store. You also need a host that allows you to add new domain names that your purchase to your package for free. You also need a host that will allow you to have multiple blog running that are also attached to your store for generating additional traffic. The 100% recommended host for this is Hostgator . Remember to use the discount code from the link when you purchase your hosting as it gives you a 20% discount on the overall price. Note that 99% of people who use ‘Build A Niche Store‘ use hostgator for their hosting.

From this lesson we will start to put together a plan of action for your sites. Over the next seven days your tasks are as follows:

1) Signup for all the account shown in the previous lessons

2) Signup to hostgator for you hosting and pick a domain name of your prefered niche store

3) Buy the Build A Niche Store Scripts

4) Read the niche store manual that comes with the scripts. This outlines the basics of setting a store up.

5) Create a sample store on any niche to allow you to play with the scripts and try out different things. Note that initially it may look slightly confusing, but don’t worry in the slightest. Everyone who uses BANS (short for build a niche store) experiences this and the first store is always quite slow to build, but the second and third etc store become very easy and can be build in less than 10-15 minutes.

So guys and gals that is you task this week, so go and make a start on your new business and I’ll see you all in a few days.

Hi again. Lesson 1 covered the basics of what is needed to host a niche store and what affiliate accounts are required to ensure you get your payments. We also showed a brief overview of what affiliate marketing is. If you have not read lesson 1 then you can find it here -> BANS – Making Money Online – Lesson 1

This lesson we will cover the basic of what a niche actually is and some keyword reseach, so lets start.

A Niche market is a market that is a sub-market market of a larger market. Toys can be classed as a big market but baby plush toys are smaller niche market. Baby items are a big big market, but baby backpacks are another niche market. Here are some of a niche market:

A Wedding dress would be too general of a market, but a “brand name” wedding dress would be a niche. We could also say Cell phones are general, but Nokia Cell Phones would be classes as a niche market.

Some niche markets you may find could be classed as too small but you can still make money from home using them. We could add some different brand names to them and create a new category of items, you just have to ensure that the line of goods you choose to sell are of a similar product line.

For example…Baby Carriers would be classed as general, but you could not make a niche site/market from ‘Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier’ so you would find the brand of other baby carrier brands to add to the niche range.

Here are some tips for your first niche store!
Select a market that you know something about. If you are a music fanatic then choose music, But something that in regards to the music and not the main stream. If your into bikes be this motobikes or mountain bikes and know a lot about bikes, than select the bike market. 

Next we have a video and some reseach sites that you need in order to research what products you want to build a niche store around. We need to cover the following

• eBay Pulse
• eBay Hot Items
• mysimon.com

Here is the video I found that covers all the point I want to cover here.

What is the supply for your niche?
What we need to do before we move onto our keyword research is to identify is there is enough supply on ebay for the product of our choice. If the items available is very few then I would strongly suggest you look for a different niche.

However once we have found our niche with plenty of supply we move onto our keyword research and find out ‘keywords’ to target. I would suggest you invest in a GOOD keyword tool and personally I use and would highly recommend ‘keyword elite‘ as one of the best keyword research tools available. Keyword elite give very detailed information including how competitive a keyword is, searches and how much others are spending for paid traffic. Also in 95% of cases I do not waste too much time on  too competitive keywords

There are also lots of free tools you can also use to start you off. The better tools are as follows:

• Tool SEO
• Free Wordtracker
• google keywords

The best to initially research your keywords is to sit down and write everything you can think of that you would type into a search enigne or ebay if you were wanting to buy the product. Do not make the mistake of general keywords, put yourself in the buyer mind and see what they woudl search on when they want to BUY a product.

Finding keywords using keyword elite

Finding Keywords:

Keyword research is the most important part of the research process!!!You need to find the keywords that have a competition of less than 30000 competing pages and that is hard, but not impossible….Keywords are what your buyers type into the search engines…For example….If you are promoting baby bjorn carrier, you do not want to come up under baby blue carriers, but you want to to be on the first three pages of Google for Baby Bjorn Carrier. Preferably in the top 10. We will cover some optimisation techniques in later tutorials. To get people to click on your link you need to target particular keywords. 

Your titles need to be in the following format:

Baby Bjorn Carrier | Discount Baby Bjorn Carrier | Cheap Baby Bjorn Carrier

You use your title keyword when ranking within the search engines. This will be covered in later tutorials. We will cover how to get on the first page of google for your keyword phrases but for now you need to find the most SEARCHED on keyword to get our niche market store up and running before we market. Basically though we want minimum of 40-50 searches a day and as we grow our websites for different niches these become 400-500 hundred searches a day and further increase. This ultimately means more money then a lot more money then a lot lot more money for us for repeating our niche building process.

Here are a few more basic examples of what we need:

We get into purchasing mode….Now think of what would you type in if you are searching for a particular product? 

If it is Baby Carriers, what specific brand would you type in and what keywords keywords?   

If someone wanted to buy a humidifier… They may type in ‘can a humidifier help with allergies’?  Which humidifier is good for allergies?

if you were wanting a computer…What will people type in?  best dell computer? Dell computer vs. Intel., cheap dell computer, discounted dell computer, are dell computer any good, which is better dell computer or intel computer. etc…

Now check the competition? do you have less than 50000 competing websites? The lower the better

Get a list of 10 keyword phrases.

if you are unsure of a product to choose then ALWAYS choose the products with a higher saleable value as this gives you extra money for each sale.

Another good research resource to check out is google trends. They give a trend for the product searches during the year. ie. if you are selling barbies then the trend would show low sales between september-april with an upturn during the spring and summer.

Well thats it for this lesson, so go and act now on the information and start making money from home today
