eBay Affiliate Program
1 Comment | Posted by cashschool in Quick Cash School Success Steps System
You’ve now got all of the premises I’ve used to make me money with the eBay affiliate program. There is a lot more involved to further monetize your website, supplement your income, and eventually become financially prosperous. Once you’ve spent about 2 months writing articles, trading links, and further promoting your site so you’ve got an understanding of this program, you should begin to brainstorm ideas for your next site while still worrying about your first. All together, you should have about 7-10 web sites in operation. As we advance through the Success Steps System we’ll learn to create additional streams of revenue and enhance your current streams. In this economy, I’d (and you probably) rather have a bunch of small rivers as opposed to one big river. As we’ve realized lately, everything comes to an end and you have a bigger chance of suffering defeat if your big river is gone.
When will my site make me money?
My first site I ever started, selling bluetooth devices, took 2 months to make me $6.53. It’s funny, even though it was such a little amount, I got a sense of reward that all of my efforts finally were coming to fruition. However, once I started to understand what I was doing, I had sites that took only days after I created it to make me money and continue to do so. Talk about how to make quick cash!
Your first site will be your worst
It’s wildly understood that your first eBay affiliate program website will be your worst. One of the most common mistakes first timers do is they either create a site in a highly competitive market or they do not specify their micro niche enough. After you create your second site, which will undoubtedly be better then the first, you will notice the mistakes you made on the first site and continue on. What I always do is to keep a log of everything I did that was successful for promoting the site, hence the reason I’m able to remember everything to give you guys.
Go over your money making checklist:
Your ability to effectively execute what I’ve laid out for you will determine how quick or how slow you make money. I can just about guarantee that if you’ve followed everything I’ve presented to you, you’ll make money.
I remember the first time I made an eBay Affiliate Program site, I thought I had everything figured out. My site was going to make me at least $300 a week because I knew how to write! Dream on Will! Just like it takes a bunch of streams of revenue to make you financially prosperous, it takes a bunch of tactics that I needed to implement to make me money. Thankfully, I figured it out and now I’m consistently making 3-4 figures a week.

Web Internet Marketing to Make Money
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in Quick Cash School Success Steps System
Using eBay to make me money, my web internet marketing tips:
Now that you’ve been accepted into the eBay Affiliate program, you’re ready to make money on the web! Internet marketing will be your key ingredient to make that happen. The marketing of your website will be the most important aspect in your quest to make lots of money. It’s like I used to tell all of my old clients at the marketing firm:
“You can have the next Mona Lisa as your product, but if people don’t know about it, you won’t make a penny.”
Lets be real here, our main purpose in starting a website is to make money. Yes, your website may be based off something that you’re passionate about or have good heart roots, but if I was to say you can make money off your good cause website, you wouldn’t turn that down. If you would, this site isn’t for you.
Making money on the web with internet marketing
Congratulations! You’ve been accepted into the eBay affiliate program and are ready to start earning! This is the hardest part, and the reason I asked you to choose a niche which was highly sought after with relatively low competition and you were passionate about. The reason that I wanted you to be passionate about the subject all boils down to the content you will produce. Content is your bread and butter when it comes to attracting the likes of Google, Yahoo!, and other big name search engines. Without exposure to your website from search engines, you won’t make lots of money.
Search engines do a thing called “crawling” where they have their bots scan your page on a scheduled basis to find out if you’ve introduced new content to the page. All the while, they are looking for keywords that help them understand what the page is exactly about. That is mainly what they’re looking for, to see how often you update your page with fresh content. Because of that, it is important that you update, and update often! If you choose a subject that you aren’t passionate about, you’ll quickly run out of things to talk about and lose traffic rapidly.
Now on that same note, please don’t post 20 articles on your page in one day and then not post anything for several weeks thinking that those 20 articles should satisfy the bots for weeks. The truth is, these bots don’t operate on a “what have you done for me recently basis”, instead it is a “what are you doing for me right now” basis. What that means is if say the bot crawls your page every 5 days for new content, if it finds the 20 new articles on its crawl and then returns in another 5 days to find nothing, that will hurt your rankings with the search engine and will hurt your Quick Cash chances. I tend to update my articles based on how often the bot scans my site. That is the good thing about HostGator, their cPanel awestats page shows when each bot has crawled your page.
If you use WordPress, you can actually write a whole bunch of websites and create a drip feed where you basically schedule when the articles will be posted on your website. This is a good method if you only have a day or two free a week. Like I said, if you want to make money, you’ve got to sacrifice your free time now, so that you can be successful later.
A good starter would be read the Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide, a free .pdf file that will give you a rounded knowledge of SEO.
How do I get the search engines to recognize my web site and get pay offs from my internet marketing?
There are actually several ways in which you can get the search engines to begin crawling your site. My recommendation is to use the most natural approach as possible. Due to our age of SPAM, search engines have based their crawling techniques on weeding out those that spam and fill the web with junk in artificial ways.
When I use WordPress, every article I publish is automatically pinged to the search engines to tell them that I’ve posted a new article. However, when I use a BANS site, I will normally submit a separate article to eZinearticles.com with a link to my page. These article sites have a high Page Ranking and are constantly crawled by search engines. So if you have a link to your page on the site, the search engines will find it and put it on the list of pages to crawl.
Another way would be to submit your pages to as many search engines as possible. Whenever I do this, I use Web CEO to submit my site to over 100 search engines. They have a free version which I love and once you get the cash up, you can further enhance your site with the Premium edition.

Where should I put my content to make me money?
I tell everyone that wants to get into affiliate marketing websites in which they will be promoting a product to follow in one of the biggest selling sites on the planet, Amazon.com. Look at their pages, they incorporate not only their product for sale, but tons of content about the site full of bold keywords and consumer reviews. They get so many consumer reviews on a daily basis and guess what? It all adds content to their site, for free! This is how the people at Amazon have become so successful and has made them lots of money.
So on every store page, I recommend you put your auctions first. Remember, first impression is always the most important, so when they see auctions on your site, that is what will be imprinted in their memory for the life of their visit. All over the web, internet marketing has become the key ingredient to getting quick cash. This is what I’ve used to make me money to the likes of $1,000 per week!

Make me money with phpBay Pro
Before we start getting ahead of ourselves, lets first worry about getting accepted into the eBay Affiliate program. In order to do that, we need to fill our site with keyword rich content. Adding lots of content lets the good ol’ people at eBay know that you mean business and are driven to generate profits for them, which in turn generates profits for yourself. Besides that, since your site is a WordPress based site, every post you make is pinged. A ping is basically a notification to any search engine willing to listen that your site has been updated and they should crawl the site for interesting content. Once that post has been index, you have successfully voiced your purpose of how hard you’ve worked and have only added to your chances of being bumped up in the search engine rankings and make lots of money.
Start with a base of at least 10 posts, with two (2) of them being 500 word posts and the rest being 150-300 word posts. Make sure your posts contain the keywords you are targeting. I’ll go more into specifying your posts towards the keywords you are after in a later post.
Once you have the 10 posts full of interesting and engaging content, you can then go over to the eBay Partner Network and apply to become an affiliate. Once they accept you, insert your Campaign I.D. into the phpBay Pro settings section and its only a matter of time before you’ve figured out how to make quick cash!

Make money on the net with BANS
0 Comments | Posted by cashschool in Quick Cash School Success Steps System
Build a Niche Store to make money on the net:
Searching all over the internet, I kept finding sites promising to “make me money on the net.” Just as easily as I could find these sites, I could find real life people shouting SCAM towards these sites. When you can find just as many sites reporting how these methods to make lots of money are a scam as there are sites promoting it, you should be very cautious. I have pretty much been able to create a set of guidelines for myself to determine the reliability of a site based on particular trends that scam sites tend to follow. However, there became one constant in my searches that had very few complaints against (just about anything you can think of probably has a website criticizing its practices), and that was BANS (Build a Niche Store).
What is BANS and How is it used to make quick cash?
This is the first internet marketing product I used that I had immediate confidence in to make money on the net. Why did I have so much confidence in it? Well for starters, there were rave reviews all over about it, but besides that, with your purchase of BANS software, you are given a free lifetime membership to the BANS community forum. This is above and beyond the most helpful forum I’ve ever been part of. The people in this forum have legitimately made money from being an eBay affiliate. Some of which have made close to $3,000 per week! All of whom are willing to critique your site and help you in any way possible.
The Build a Niche Store product is a way for those that are completely unfamiliar, and those who are familiar with websites, to use the eBay affiliate program to make lots of cash in a very short time. After following the detailed step by step instructions included in every purchase of BANS, you will have a very clean, professional, working, but naked website with eBay auctions automatically implemented into each page which you designate as a “store” page.
Can I apply for the eBay affiliate program yet?!
Not yet, you just have one more chore to do to further solidify your chances of being accepted into the eBay Partner Network so you can start to make money on the net. That chore would be, writing articles for your site.
Having content on your site will not only help your chances of being accepted into the eBay affiliate program but it will also help your exposure to viewers because search engines (Google in particular) love content. The more content you have along with the frequency in which your site is updated with content, the more likely your website will receive more visitors from search engines.
How much content is needed to make me money?
You can never have too much content on your site. Think about it, the more content you have, the more engaged your visitor will be to the site. There is a rule constantly thrown around the BANS forum that if you were to take away all the auction listings on your site, would your site be any bit interesting? If the answer is no, you don’t have enough content and will therefore, you will not make money on the net.
A general guideline however, would be to have at least two (2) 500 word articles on your site along with anywhere from 150-300 words per store and content page. If you have more then 300 words per store and content page, that is fine. Remember, you can never have enough content.
Once you have at least 10 articles on your site, with two 500 word articles, then you can go to eBay Partner Network, apply to become an eBay affiliate, and start to make money on the net!

How to Find a niche
4 Comments | Posted by cashschool in Quick Cash School Success Steps System
How to find a niche for your eBay affiliate website:
Your niche strategy will be your most important aspect in determining how popular and how much revenue will be brought in by your site. It is the foundation of the entire Quick Cash School Success Steps System. Without proper niche research and learning how to find a niche, you will more then likely be venturing into a competitive internet market to the likes that you’ll never reach into top echelons of the Search Engine rankings (I’ll explain all of this later).
What is a Niche?
A niche is a specific area of a larger market. For example, a large market would be cellular phones, a niche would be BlackBerry devices, and a micro niche would be a specific model of BlackBerry devices. Your job will be to determine a specific niche that is heavily searched for but is not in a highly competitive market that will be almost impossible to become popular in. My first mistake in my internet marketing niche search was that I started an eBay affiliate website selling bluetooth devices. Little did I know, that market was so heavily competitive that I never reached the first page in the search engines for the keywords I honed on and was quickly de-indexed from Google’s search engine.
How to find a niche
Learning how to find a niche can be a daunting task. What I do first before I create a site is I make a list of 100 niche ideas. Anything that pops in your head that can be sold on eBay. Make sure you become familiar with eBay’s List of Prohibited and Restricted Items before you create your list. After you’ve finished your list, download the Google Toolbar for use on your Firefox browser. The reason I want you to download the Google Toolbar is that every website that is available on their search engine is assigned a Page Rank (PR). The Page Rank is a scale from 0-10 to determine the importance of the page in Google’s eyes. 10 being the highest, 0 being the lowest. The Page Rank is a small rectangular bar usually found between the Bookmarks and Autolink buttons. If you notice the bar is completely grayed out, that means that the site you are currently visiting is not indexed on Google’s search engine.
Once you have that downloaded, you will then use Google AdWords: Keyword Tool and enter each of your 100 keywords and click “Get Keyword Ideas.” A listing will be brought up that will have from left to right: Keyword, Advertiser Competition, Local Search Volume, Global Monthly Search Volume, and Match Type. You’ll want to focus on the Advertiser Competition and the Global Monthly Search Volume. If the search volume is over 1,000 and the competition is relatively low, open a new tab in your browser and enter the keyword into a Google search and find the PR of every page on the first search results page. If it’s below 4, you’ve probably found a good niche.
Next, take that keyword and go to eBay and enter it into a search. Go through the results page and see if the product is being bid on. If a majority of the results are in fact being bid on, you’ve found yourself a winner! If most of the products have zero bids, then don’t expect anyone to bid on the auctions on your page either.
After going through the first couple of keywords on your list, you’ll notice this is an extremely tedious task. An easier method would be to use a program called Micro Niche Finder.
Importance of Micro Niche Finder
If you’ve come across this site through the results of a search engine, there is a 90% chance you found this site because of my use of Micro Niche Finder. This program allows me to enter a keyword idea into its program and it returns various phrases related to the keyword, the search count from the prior month, the exact phrase count, the Ad-Cost (very important for AdSense revenue), the Commercial Intent of the keyword, and the Strength of Competition for that keyword. Not only does it do that, but it also offers a search for ClickBank related products, Amazon Affiliate related products, Google Search, and various other affiliate searches. It also will provide you with Hot Trends searches from Google and a Brainstorming option in case you’ve got a mental block. You will still have to enter your target keyword into an eBay search to determine if there are actual bids on the auctions but as you can see, this product really helps you dominate a highly sought after, but uncompetitive niche in no time. It is the main reason how I’ve made as much money as I’ve had with internet marketing and is your one stop program to answer the question, how to find a niche.
Micro Niche Finder is probably the most important tool I use
Whatever niche strategy you may use, make sure you do put all your effort into your research to find a niche. The amount of research and fine tuning of your keywords is a key component to the question “How to make lots of money.”
