Step by Step Business Setup

I listened to a video that was provided as part of the Affiliate Classroom 2.0 program that I am going through. This video is about setting up a business using You Tube. It seems simple and very plausible, so I’m going to go through the steps. I’ll document them in this blog.

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.
