Here are 3 simple steps to get you started today…

Step 1 – Follow the Action Guide by creating your basic site structure

Step 2 – Research Buying keywords for products and services in your niche, and write focused product reviews

Step 3 – Use various forms of paid traffic to test whether the keywords convert into sales, before you take the time to do too much SEO on those pages

Here’s how to test your site concept quickly using paid traffic, so you can quickly know whether your site has a chance of being profitable…

Step 1 – Choose a theme for your website as discussed in the Action Guide, making sure you settle on a topic that interests you and a preferably large number of other people. It’s best to look for a sub-niche that you can dominate over time if possible, because it’s easier to start small and build outwards from there. Create your home page and a number of tier two pages covering your major sub topics or themes, so your site looks finished when your visitors arrive. Make sure you include a Privacy Policy and a Website Terms Of Use page. A Contact page will also make it easy for people to get in touch with you if they have questions.

Step 2 – Use the Site Build it Brainstormer or the Google Keyword tool to research ‘buying’ keywords for products related to your niche market. In particular, make sure you look for ‘review’ keywords related to the main products people are selling. People who are ready to buy often look for product reviews to help them make a decision on which one to purchase. Take the time to write impartial, honest reviews of as many products and services as you can find, and add them as tier three pages on your site. Make sure you include a short, keyword focused summary with a strong call to action, a picture of the product and at least two affiliate links to the product’s sales page above the fold of your review page. You want to do this because many people will simply read your summary and click through to the merchant’s website to order.

Step 3 – Use paid search methods such as Google Adwords, Yahoo Search, Ezine Advertising and/or banners to drive targeted visitors to your review pages to see if they convert into sales. Test various elements of your page (headline, offer, call to action, etc.) to see if you can increase conversions. Only after you know that a page converts into sales, should you move on to doing additional Search Engine Optimization.

This could include submitting helpful articles about the various types of products you are reviewing to article directories, and linking to your review pages in your resource box. Or commenting intelligently on related blog posts and linking to your reviews. It’s also a good idea to spend some time Bookmarking your reviews on Social Media sites.

Once you know your reviews work and people are buying products through your affiliate link, you can outsource most of this SEO and article marketing work to others, while you focus your time on finding additional products and writing more reviews. This really beats spending a year of your life building a website that doesn’t reward you for your time. I know because I’ve done that, and it’s not something I’d recommend. It’s always much better to know your site has a good chance of being profitable early so you can move on to something else if it’s not.
