“I have lots of websites and they’re not making me money. What do I do?”

I recorded this answer while I was in Paris.

Here are bullet points of what I suggest to do:

1. Pick one of them and focus on it.
2. Pick the one where you can see the end from the beginning, where
   you understand everything that it needs.
3. Don’t try to convert random people to buying random things. Be Specific. Know who you’re trying to sell to.
4. Self Replicated MLM or Mortgage or Real Estate sites don’t work. (or…I’ve never seen it work)
5. Re-evaluate the effectiveness of the site you have. Study some
   copywriting techniques and do things to increase conversions on your
   site. Whatever you’re selling, give people a reason to buy it
   (give incentives, tell them why it’s the best, it has a problem and I’ll solve it, …)
6. Make sure your site only has one purpose. It has one goal when someone
   comes to the homepage. Get rid of widgets unless they serve a purpose.
7. Get traffic. Buy a little and see what happens. Don’t overspend. Don’t pretend to be macho with google adwords. Learn a little about it.
8. A quick plan for getting free traffic:
   1. write an article and submit it to ezinearticles.com
   2. create a squidoo lens. put 2 pieces of content, link it to your site
   3. create a short video, submit it to tubemogul (and verify it worked)
9. If you built the sites following a blueprint or something, stick
   with it for a bit before moving onto something else. Sometimes these
   things just take time.
10. Don’t give up! You’re going to fail some. This is a business.

This is a special interview I did with Peter, the creator of a product to be released tomorrow.

What Peter is teaching is EXACTLY what I do on my websites in terms of the layout and design. It’s exactly what I have my GUYS do for me to make me money each month.

Where it’s different is in his promotion strategy, which is BETTER than what I’ve been doing.

Here’s my response

The one thing I forgot to talk about on my video is that I would probably install http://www.crazyegg.com on the site to see what people are currently doing when they come to your site.

Good luck!

I’ve known Joel for a few years, and knew that at one point he was spending about $1,000,000 a month on adwords, but I had no idea how he was doing it.

If generating this kind of traffic interests you, watch this webinar replay.
(video opens in a new window).
I had no idea this was possible.

If it’s right for you, Buy Keyword Rockstar.

People show me their products all the time.

Cool…ok…”it doesn’t solve my customers problems.” (that’s my thought most of the time).

Adam’s is totally different. It solves people’s problem of “what actually works online, and how do I do it correctly.”

It answers people’s question (that I get asked almost every day):
What works online to make money, and what niche should I do it in?

In this video Adam shares his entire business model of how he writes, publishes, and sells ebooks to niche markets.

THIS is what works!

In it he reveals some things I’ve never heard people teach so well in my life:

1. How to pick a niche (this is going to blow you away)
2. How to get a 100 page ebook written for $100 (better quality book than he had been paying $1500 for)
3. How to spend 30 minutes to have a sales page that converts
4. How to get tons of free traffic
5. How he outsources 98% of this

It’s a half hour video interview that you won’t regret watching!

1. It’s not that hard
2. You feel so much better about yourself when you do things, instead of just learn them
3. You’ll make a heck of a lot more money!

You can outsource almost all of it.

Steps in this series:

1. Make Sales
2. Use Adwords
3. Article Marketing and JV’s
4. Implement Everything

Please comment!

For some people, JV’s should come after parts of step 4. For others, it should be step 3.

Article marketing SHOULD NOT be skipped.
It should also NOT be put before adwords. I see sooooo many people do this. They don’t focus on making sales, they just write articles and send the traffic to their crappy website which they never tested.

FAILURE!

Everything works…when done in the right order.

Steps in this series:

1. Make Sales
2. Use Adwords
3. Article Marketing and JV’s
4. Implement Everything!

But, it’s something people miss over and over again.

The first place you should look for traffic to your website is Google Adwords.

Use adwords because:

1. you get immediate traffic
2. you get immediate feedback
3. you can track what is working and what isn’t
4. you figure out which keywords convert and which ones don’t
5. It’s the furthest thing from shooting in the dark as you can get online

This is only for people trying to run an online business
If you’re not running an online business, you can skip my next 4 posts.

As far as I’m concerned, there are only 4 steps for making an online business succeed. And, in reality, you can succeed with just steps 1 and 2.
The problem is, most people skip 1 and 2 and only do 3 and 4.

(Yes, I did just call out Henry and Dustin.)

After I made this video, I realized that a lot of people out there are trying to make money as an affiliate.

So, here’s a video for you:

Yes, I just made fun of a whole bunch of you.
Yes, I just trashed on every “pre-made, template, 99% of the work is done for you” website ever created.
Why?
They don’t work!

This is step 1. If you skip it, you can’t succeed.
You HAVE to understand why you’re selling, what you’re selling, to whom you’re selling, and why they’re buying it, or you can’t make money online.
This is the only part of this that can’t be outsourced!

Steps in this series
