As you saw on the video, you can set it and forget it! This takes no financial investment and can be done in a few minutes every day to build a blog empire.

Personally, I would recommend that you take a little more time for proofreading and editing of the PLR articles. A few simple adjustments can be made to the article within a few minutes. This is necessary to make the article more unique so that the search engines will see it as different than the multiple (maybe hundreds) of other pages around the web where the article has been posted.

Sometimes it is beneficial to add a keyword targeted paragraph to the beginning of the article and another at the end of the article. This can effectively re-purpose the article for your preferred key phrases.

All of these techniques work on both Blogger and WordPress. Are you setting up a blog right now? What’s stopping you? Anyone can do this and do it fast.

I’ve created a short video presentation to show how to go about brainstorming and finding good market niches.

I should preface the video by adding that you don’t need to select a niche that includes a topic that you are an expert in.  It’s not that difficult to learn enough about the topic to appear knowledgeable and as an authority on the topic.  There are some quick and easy techniques to accomplish that.

You should, however, select a niche that you have some previous knowledge in, are interested in, or have a desire to learn more about it.  From my experience, it’s much easier to focus on a topic of interest, and to spend the time necessary to become an authority on the topic.

With that said, go ahead and watch the video, now.

Micro Niche Finder Keyword Research Tool

As I promised in my previous post, “Domain Name Research and Selection“, I’m going to talk about the domain name redirection and the addon domain in the hosting account.

When you purchase a domain (I purchase all mine from GoDaddy.com, so that is where my examples will come from), it is not pointed to any particular site.  You need to redirect it to point to the desired site.  You can simple forward the domain, which is the simplest way to redirect your domain, but limits you in the use of subdomains later.  I choose to redirect using a two step method that is slightly more complicated to set up, but allows more flexibility with the use of subdomains.

First, login to your GoDaddy account and navigate to Domains-My Domains.  There you will see a list of all the domains that you have purchased through GoDaddy.  Click on the domain that you are wishing to redirect.

In the section of the page entitled “Nameservers”, there should be 2 listed.  You need to change those nameserver names to those that your hosting account provides for you.  Since I use HostGator which uses a program called cPanel as it’s control panel, that is what I will be describing here. It looks something like this:

At the very bottom of the screen on the left, you will find a little box that provides all the details of your hosting account.  There you will find the nameservers that you will need in your GoDaddy redirection.

Back in GoDaddy, click on the “manage” link by the Nameservers area of your domain.  This takes you to a place where you can change the nameservers to your assigned nameserver names at your hosting account.  Once you have saved this change, it takes 24 to 48 hours before the redirection is completed.  I like to do this as soon as I purchase the domain so that I can get that process moving along and use my new domain as quickly as possible.

The second step in the process is done in your hosting account’s control panel (hostgator-cpanel for me).  On the home page, of cPanel, scroll down to the section entitled “Domains”.

Click on the Addon Domains button.  This will let you set up the location in your hosting account that your domain will be redirected to.  It looks like this:

type in your domain, then tab down to password.  The other fields will self populate.  Verify your password and click add domain, then you’re done.

No your domain is ready for you to upload your website.  That will be for another post.

I already have a hosting account, so I didn’t have to purchase hosting.  I have an account with HostGator and have had for some time now.  For only $7.95 per month, I purchased an account with them that offers unlimited domains, so each time I want to start in a new niche, all I have to do is purchase a domain name, redirect it to my nameservers in HostGator, and create an addon domain in my hosting account.

Yesterday, I researched some available domain names and purchased one that I felt was appropriate for my “learn to play guitar” niche.  To do that research, I used a site called NameBoy.com and their two word search tool.

NameBoy lets you enter two keywords into their search and then it provides a large group of suggestions.  They display .com, .net, .org, .info, and more.  They also indicate the availability of the domain with each extension.

I, also, used GoDaddy’s search to help me find the domain.

When you search a specific domain in GoDaddy, they will tell you if it is available, but they also give many domain name suggestions to choose from.

It’s not that easy to find a real good domain name, especially one with a .com extension, which I recommend highly.  Keep searching until you find something appropriate.  Think about synonyms, hyphenation between words, and addon words like my, best, now, online, etc.  Godaddy uses that technique in their domain suggestion tool.

I ended up purchasing the domain myjamminguitar.com for this exercise.

I’ll go into domain redirection and addon domains in my next post.

This will take me longer than most people take to set up since I only work at my business about 1-2 hours per day. Make sure you subscribe to the blog feed so that you can come back each day or two as I make my updates.

Here are the steps I’ve already taken.

Keyword Research

We looked at Clickbank to find popular products.  In Clickbank, you will click on the “Marketplace” link at the top of the page and that will take you to a search page you will use to identify products.  I select the option of sorting by “Gravity” since I am looking for products with the highest gravity.  These are the products that are being promoted and selling the most.

We scanned through the highest gravity products in each category and put together a list of general categories that each had 2-3 products with a gravity of 50 or higher.  I will emphasize the word “general” here, since we are not looking for long tail keywords in this plan.

Next, we took our list of general categories to You Tube and looked for the ones that get a lot of quick hits in YouTube.  To do this, you just put your keyword in their search bar and enter.  Then change “Uploaded:Anytime” to “Uploaded:This Week”.  You want to find several hundred views within a few days for the videos in the search results.

Using this method, we chose the category “Guitar” and will be promoting Guitar Lessons on YouTube.

That’s where we are right now.  The next step is to put our website together.

You can try it out for 60 days free, but then have to pay a fee for continuing a subscription to their service.

The following video is a very good – but fast paced -  tutorial on setting up a quick and simple squeeze page using the free KompoZer program and linking to your Aweber autoresponder.

Video Summary

Download Kompozer HTML Editor

Kompozer is a very good and very simple to use WYSIWYG editor program.  It’s free to download and should satisfy everything you need without having to spend the big bucks for a program like DreamWeaver or FrontPage.

In KompoZer, click on the “Table” icon and select the 1 x1 format.

Right click on the table you just created and select “table cell properties” and the “table” tab.  Change the width to 600 pixels, the spacing to “0″, the table alignment to “center” and press “ok”.

Type your headline and bullet points into your newly created table.  Format everythin appropriately by using the Word-lik” toolbars above.  You can select a font size and style, center or justify text, and make your bullet points into an ordered or unordered list.

Add another table inside the first one you created and after the text that you’ve entered.   This table will be just like the first one you created except that it will only be set to 400 pixels.

This table becomes the space where your web form will go.  You will set up your web form in your autoresponder.  I use Aweber as my autoresponder as do many people in the internet marketing business, however, any good autoresponder will have this functionality.  I won’t detail the autoresponder setup procedures in this post but will do so in another.

Copy your code that you’ve created in your autoresponder.  Use the javascript type of code as opposed to the html type of script.  Click your cursor into the table that you created for your web form.  Select the “source” tab and paste your code into your website code.

Save your page and it’s ready to be published.

I use FileZilla to transfer my data to my hosting account just as is done in this video.  I will go into more detail about using an FTP program like FileZilla in another post.
