Phase II: Affiliate Marketing’s Article Creation Foundation
Just in case you’re wondering, Phase I happened during the full month of October 2007. Phase II and Phase III will each happen over the span of a week (meaning 7 days for each phase). In this, the second “Phase” we’ll will be suing what is taught in Colin Klinkert’s ebook entitled $5,000+ Per Month in Less Than 5 Months.
… which explains where I got the theme name for this blog, right?
Anyway, once you get Colin’s ebook (which I highly suggest you do as soon as possible) you’ll see that putting it to work will add an Article Marketing Foundation to the Nichenomic strategies already put in place during Phase I.
I’ll be using Colin’s “Business Plan Part A:Time Management” (found on about the 5th page of his ebook) which outlines a week’s worth of work, Sunday to Saturday. Of course it’s up to you which day you start. In my case I’ll be doing the Thursday through Wednesday thing since my at-home work week begins on Thursday (as I’ll explain in my Profile).
Here’s the gist of “Business Plan Part A:Time Management”. Each daily task should take only 2 – 3 hours to complete.
Day 1. Decide on 3 niches
Find 10 key phrases (longtails) for each niche
Day 2. Write 5 articles on Niche #1 and submit them, post them, social post them, etc.
Day 3. Write 5 more articles in Niche #1, submit them, social post them, etc.
Day 4. Write 5 articles on Niche #2 and submit them, post them, social post them, etc.
Day 5. Write 5 more articles in Niche #2, submit them, social post them, etc.
Day 6. Write 5 articles on Niche #3 and submit them, post them, social post them, etc.
Day 7. Write 5 more articles in Niche #3, submit them, social post them, etc.
Simple, yes? Easy? NO! If it were easy everyone would be doing this and making a killing as online marketers. Do what others are too lazy or too stupid or too superior to do and you will bring home the bacon every time.
OK, so there’s obviously more to $5,000+ Per Month in Less Than 5 Month than just this time management plan. Colin also gets into selecting niches and affiliate products, creating an effective resource box for your articles, setting up your website (yes, if you’re going to go “Pro” you WILL need your own website) and article submissions.
I recommend you get this ebook now to actively follow along with Phase II.
