Research a theme for your website
Write your own original content for the site. It's
original content that will sell your site to the
Search Engines and the Search Engines will
bring you traffic for FREE.
You don't need to reinvent the wheel to learn the
whole process of researching the site theme,
building a website perfectly matched the search
engine algorithms and monetizing in the most
appropriate way - It's all been done before.

If visitors like what they find they will most likely
bookmark your site and they will be many times
more likely to buy from you and accept your
recommendations if your passion shines through
in your content
Discover the most effective ways to monetize
your site
Monetization can be easy once you are
delivering valuable content to the Search
Engines. This should be the very last stage of
your business research.
Here are some basic monetization ideas
OK - Now write down how much you have earned
from each of the programmes.
How many affiliates do you have and how much money
have you earned from them?
If you haven't earned your money back on a programme in
4 months then in my opinion - GET RID OF IT !
You're doing a great job of feeding someone else and an
even better job of throwing away money.
Like many people you have probably spent hundreds or
even thousands of dollars building your down-lines in
multiple programmes. But how much are you really
earning from those 5 or 6 affiliates in each down-line?
KEEP THE BEST AND DELETE THE REST
Make this your motto from now on - If a programme isn't
performing then toss it out.
..........I still find it hard to believe that I actually spent more than $20,000 on just one programme. Whatever I did, the get-rich system just wouldn't work for me, even though I felt convinced that one day it would......... and yet I have made more money simply displaying adverts from Google Adsense. A measly $30 on a book explaining how to use Google effectively brought me more money in one week than all of those months slaving away trying to get the get-rich system to work for ME! I felt like screaming sometimes when, no matter how much I spent on an advert it just didn't pay for itself L.M.
