Start from Zero
Without technical knowledge
If You Start From Zero
You must know
• How to turn free resources to money machine
• The return may not be high
• Your time commitment is higher
• You should reinvest your profit
The best way to start
• You have no website
• You have no content
• You have no product
…but you have a lot of free resources around you
4 Steps
• Get a free website
• Get free attractive content or you build your own
• Get an Google Adsense account
• Get free targeted traffic
Profit Target: US$100
Step 1: Get a free website
• Go to www.blogger.com to get a free website
Step 2: Go to youtube.com
• You can use video as your content
• It is free
• Video is much more attractive than TEXT
• Make sure you like the videos e.g. funny video
Put the video on the website
• Go to your blogger.com website
• Put the embeded code of video to the message
• Leave some comments on this video
• DONE!
• I suggest you to add 3-4 videos…one video is not enough to entertain your visitors
Put the video on the website
• Go to your blogger.com website
• Put the embeded code of video to the message
• Leave some comments on this video
• DONE!
• I suggest you to add 3-4 videos…one video is not enough to entertain your visitors
I don’t have Paypal, Will Google Pay Me?
• Paypal is owned by ebay.com
• Ebay is the partner of Yahoo
• Will Google pay you via its COMPETITOR?
Google pays you by cheque or wire transfer.
Step 4: Traffic
• Go to myspace.com, register a free account, write something about you (profile), search and find right person
• Add this person as your friend
• Everyday, you can add up to 500 people to your account
• Communicate with your friends by posting bulletin message (it’s similar to mailing list)
• Friend always loves to check friend’s website
Everyday…
• Add new videos
• Find the new and targeted friends
• Focus. Don’t use the same myspace account for different subjects
• Don’t spend more than 1 hours.
When you make the 1st US$100…Next
Best Use Your First $100
• But you must have your own identity on the internet
• If you rely on the free resources alone, you can not add new features easily.
Goals after $100
• Start to build a “small” community.
• Your friends can leave messages (content) to you
• You have new content on your website everyday
• Your friends will come to your website everyday
• The traffic can accumulate more efficiently
Reinvestment
Action 1: Use your own domain (US$8.2- www.godaddy.com)
Action 2: Find a cheap shared hosting (US$40-$60/year). Make sure your server providers offer the free phpbb forum script
Action 3: Upload the files from blogger.com to your own domain
Action 4: Install the forum script. It is automatic and no technical knowledge is required
I suggest you cannot spend more than $60 dollars for the domain/hosting. The remaining $40…put it to your bank account, don’t use it.
We start a new game
Step 1: you post video on your website
Step 2: Remember to write a small comment about the video, build a hyperlink to the forum to let them discuss it
Step 3: Send a bulletin message to your friend list at myspace.com about your new videos
Note:
1. you still need to add new friends at your myspace account
2. Remember to put the Adsense code to your forum
Examples:
Go to: http://www.ambatch.com/blog.html
You can study how I link my website to the forum. How to combine these things in a single website
Repeat Step 1-3 Everyday
• You must repeat the steps everyday until you see the people return to your site, they start to talk without your input….definitely I suggest you to input new content to your site
You can make US$500 because:
• New visitors come to your website
• The visitors return to your website
• Traffic accumulation process
Suggestion
If you want to master your website traffic strategy, you must learn how to read traffic data and management
It’s a little bit advanced..!
