Make Money at Home Boot Camp Step 1

You need a game plan to make money at home. When I offer my advice on making money online, I am assuming you have either read Grizzly’s blog (or Vic, Court, any of those guys who know what they’re talking about) or have read my online money making guide e-book. If you have, the terminology and concepts will be familiar to you.

Hopefully most of you have at least made a few blogs (even if these blogs don’t yet dominate their keywords) and have gone through the motions so that you know, in theory, how this works. If you haven’t, that’s ok, but at the very least, you need to be familiar with our goal and terminology as described in depth by Grizzly and myself.

Once again: Our goal in this make money at home boot camp is to get 200 Adsense blogs (also called 3rd tier blogs or money sites) ranking on page 1 of Google for their keyword phrases.

Let’s begin…

Step 1:

Do proper keyword research with the Google keyword tool (again… you can find information about keyword research step-by-step in my e-book or on Grizzly’s make money for beginners blog). Start small so you don’t overwhelm yourself; find 5 different but perhaps remotely related niches that you can start working on. Don’t work on more than 3 “green” keywords (terminology from my e-book) for each of the 5 at once. For example, maybe you want to start with “Japanese tea sets”, “green tea benefits”, “bonsai gardening”, “how to make sushi”, and “Japanese cell phones” (these are ONLY examples and I haven’t researched them for CPC, # of searches, competition, etc, so please don’t think I’m endorsing these as good niche topics – I have no idea if they are or not). Store all your topics and green keywords in a spreadsheet; put them aside for now.

Start working on your 1st tier farms. I found that the best thing to do was start with farms that have more of a general theme – “travel”, “auto”, “home”, “health”, etc. It’s up to you as to how many farms you want to create. I have hundreds of these, but you don't need hundreds to get started. Maybe you want to start out with 20 or so? Choose a number that you know you can accomplish and make sure to create the farms on different platforms (Blogger - if it's not auto generated content, Wordpress, Blogetery, Hubpages, Squidoo, Infobarrel, etc.) You will be able to reuse these for other backlinks (not Squidoo and Hubpages from my experience as they will probably delete the page) when you start new niche topic projects. The 1st tiers don’t need to be an exact match; therefore general, reusable farms are what we need. You will probably need to spend a month or 2 setting up, putting content on, and indexing your initial farms if you are starting from scratch to make money at home.
