A project

Well my friend...I honestly think that you need to sell something that people are looking to buy..and reconsider who you vendors are....also accept the fact that people are going to most likely buy from authority sites..such as amazon..remember transparency=trust...

I also wanted to mention that it would not be such a bad idea to start building a good portfolio with Google Adwords..and check to see what words are making you some conversions..afterwards head on over to web2.o properties and use those same keywords that converted to sales on Google Adwords and get the best amount of targetted traffic what. I highly recommend if you can afford it..outsource the whole thing...when it comes to building content on web2.0 properties take a look around this forum and you will find affordable prices..Once again check to see if what you are trying to sell has enough volume on Google..and dont be afraid to survey your targetted audience when you thinking of selling an affiliate product...

And last but not least..people prefer to head on over to a local store to buy something that is worth 50-200 dollars..but when it comes to high ticket items..rest assured that they will most likely to look for better prices online..of course this is not always the case..so feel confident about yourself and make it happen grahamhead

Thanks positivenote, it was a real positive note.

I keep reading all of these posts about young ladies and gentlemen who are earning lots of money and I keep thinking to myself i've been in the Internet game for many years and I have not one zip of the knowledge they have.

I will continue to keep reading and hopefully try to put some of the practices that I see on the into action.

I have some legitimate accounts set up. Should I create new accounts to practice some of the black stuff I read on these forums?

What I have found is that having a well-designed site with lots of good content that is relevant is the best way to get traffic that is steady and targeted. As this is white hat it often takes time for a site like this to rise in the rankings but once it is on page one then monetising it should be easy. All you need is to have then are plenty of links to make money from affiliate programs.

My first site was made like this and at times I thought it would never take off but it now earns me a nice income, so don't quit before you give it a chance. I am now exploring black hat methods to speed things up with newer sites of mine.

Would it be ok if i direct you to my blogger site which is the one I am planning on using, I think it looks ok?

What i need is backlinks i think and from reading here the best thing for me to do is to write articles for ezine?

Thanks very much for you input.

grahmhead, you mentioned that you've tried some linkbuilding techniques to no avail. what does your traffic look like? i'm trying to get a sense if the issue has to do with traffic-gen, monetization, or something else (ie: niche focus). feel free to PM if you'd like to talk further.

Thanks very much, I have sent you a PM
