I build new Site as Case Study today. It is personal Finance Niche(www.personalfinanceblog.us) and I am using vBulletin as forum software. I install several plug ins such as Stock Trader which user can do Stock Trade from Forum.

Why Personal Finance Niche? There is many affiliate programs and adsense payout is great however competition is great as well. I am following Netbusinessblog steps and kinda trying to compete with his case study.

I will follow exactly how he did and some.

Step One is done, setup site up and running.

Step two is build some backlinks via using web directory submission service, article writing.
Step three will be post some contents in forums and from there, I will try to increase traffics via Contest, Stock Trade games, etc.

I was browse WickedFire.com today and I found this post The recipe for a $200K per year job.

Local Search Engine Control

If you’re like me, I use Google or have used Google in the past to find restaurants or supply shops in my area. If I am looking for a chinese place because I just moved to the city of OceanSide, then I type in:

oceanside “chinese restaurant”

What I see is that there are roughly 25,000 listings for that phrase. That’s under the 40K mark which I set for myself as an upper limit for a niche term to dominate. This becomes important, as you will see in a minute.

Using whatever methods you want to build pages that will get ranked (usually social network building) you can pretty much get anywhere from 1 to all 10 listings on the first page of Google for that 3 word phrase. There are a variety of ways to do this, but I am not going to get into that, because that is an extensive course in of itself.

If the search results were over 40K results, then it would be tougher. If there are only 5,000 results, then you’d probably get all 10 results on the first page. For example:

rosamond “chinese restaurant”

So I could dominate the city of Rosamond, Ca. for this niche. It’s a small town out by a race track on the outskirts of L.A. county.

OK, so where do you go with this? Easy. Here’s what I did.

Let’s say we start with Rosamond. You go in and you capture all 10 spots (or as many as you can) for the key phrase you are going after, and on those pages you promote a fake chinese restaurant. Where the name of the restaurant would go, you call it “Your-Name-Here Chinese Restaurant.” There should be links on the page to one or two high PR restuarant guides, as this will give you even more link juice and help you capture as many of the listings on the 1st page of Google. You also link to your website where you describe your services, and you have a phone #.

Next you put together some kind of marketing campaign for restaurants. You want to hit all the restaurants in that city, whether they be chinese or pizzarias. Doesn’t matter. You do some direct mail pieces to them. You have to have REALLY good creative in this piece to grab their attention. If you aren’t a great writer, outsource this to elance, or invest in a really good copyrighting course.

Tell these owners how they may increase their revenue by 208% (or whatever percentage is factual based on how you spin what you’re telling them) by being on the 1st page of Google, blah, blah, blah. Pull up the stats and make it compelling. 80 to 90% of people won’t look past the 1st search results page. Use stuff like that.

The clincher here is you tell them that you put your money where your mouth is. You won’t charge them a cent unless you can get a page on the first Google results page that mentions their company and is fully controlled by them. This means they can say whatever they want on the page. You’ll need to make sure it still has enough anchor text and keyword text to not drop its listing spot.

Now you can charge them for this service. In my case, this was a $900 one time charge, or $197 down and then $97 per month for a year. Most take the $900, ONCE they see results.

and Another Post Easy Way To Make 100k/Year

Exp Level: Basic – Mid-level (The heavy rollers who want to make a shit-load of money can do this To)

Cost: $150 – $600 depending on software, advertising you want to do, etc…

The concept: you create an online directory tailored to a specific niche and sell advertising/listing upgrades to niched businesses.

**note: works REALLY well with offline businesses (at least that’s what I’m currently doing)

The building blocks:

1. You’ll need data. I had a YellowPages.com Scraper made and pulled data from specific categories

2. You’ll need directory software. You can make your own or buy some.

3. You’ll need a niche (daycares, pet stuff, etc), or you’ll need to go very local. and by very local I mean get suburb about it. (ex: you live in Dallas, do Plano/Frisco businesses to start with)

Obviously you can grow this bitch into anything you want, but these are the essentials.

I suggest adding some niche/local recognizable brand CPAs to your site ad ‘featured advertisers’ to give the feel that the big dogs are already advertising on your directory. Not to mention start making money off the traffic you’ll be driving to the site.

Then, start campaigning your services to the businesses listed in your database.

It requires some works but many of work, I will outsource. My Budget will be around $500-$600.

Today I bought 3 domains.
ellicott-city.net, baltimorerestaurant.org, and localz.us

and I bought some bulk business database from DP and I will use phpMyDirectory as my base directory backend which will cost me $99. I will try to list first page on terms like “Ellicott City Chinese Restaurant, etc” then Selling Spots and Localz.US will be ALL US Listing Site.

Next 2 days, I will install scripts and start loading some Data to test.
