Dane Morgan presents The Hyper FREE System. Exclusively on the How To Corp Forum, and with out requiring your email address or your page realestate.
Disclaimer. This system is for those thinking that giving up what some very smart people would argue are the BEST ads on your site, in exchange for "free" software, might be a good idea. The thing you have to understand is that the people "giving" this software away understand that (assuming you actually put it into use) they will make far more from your valuable promotional efforts and text link ads than they ever could charging you for the software outright.
If on the other hand, you are thinking about buying a copy and putting the rubes and the newbs to work for you at indentured wages, this post ain't your cup of tea, and All I can do is say, you might want to go ahead and get you a copy.
The Tools.
1) Web Hosting
2) WordPress
3) Some WordPress Plugins
4) an adsense account
5) a click bank account
6) a couple ounces of drive and ambition
7) Various Optional Tools to help automate and enhance the system.The Steps.
1) Get some web hosting. You don't need much, but get an account that allows multiple hosted domains. That way you can build more sites for the same overhead. If you need suggestions on where to get hosting search this forum, many good recommendations have been made over the years.2) Get and install WordPress. It's free and it installs very easily. Post here or at the WordPress forums if you have problems installing. It really is very easy to do though. Get it at http://wordpress.org/
3a) get a copy of the text link ads plugin. This link will allow you to define keywords wich will be replaced with the links of your choice every time they appear in your posts. Later if you find a better program to promote from that "contextual ad spot", just change the link in one place and update your whole blog... errr... emmmm.... site. Get it at http://www.rushmer.com/articles/wordpress-text-link-ads/
3b) get a copy of the adsense deluxe plugin. This will insert your adsense code for you and a whole bunch more nifty stuff to boot (like using YPN). Get it from http://www.acmetech.com/blog/2005/07/26/adsense-deluxe-wordpress-plugin/
3c) (Optional) Get yourself a copy of autoblog which will allow you to easily and automatically pull in rss content and add it to your blog. Be careful if you choose to do this step. Choose good feeds that add to your blog, always credit the source and never use feeds from authors who do not want you to do so. Get it at http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2006/06/06/wp-autoblog-a-syndication-plugin/
4) Get an adsense account to serve adsense ads on your blog.... errrr... emmmm... site. Get it at http://google.com/adsense/
5) Get a ClickBank Account so you can add clickbank affiliate links to the WP Text Link Ads plugin and have your own automatic contextual ad service. Get it at http://clickbank.com/
6a) Decide on a niche and determine what it's keywords are(try http://nichebot.com and https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal for starters). and set up your blog. Make posts with good content to your posts somewhere between three or four times a day and three or four times a week.
6b) Optionally find some quality feeds and run them through autoblog to supplement your posting.
6c) when you identify a keyword of value, hit http://marketplace.clickbank.net/ and find a good looking product to promote. Add the link and keyword to the link category you specified for text link ads. You can do a bunch of these up front, or do them as you come up with them. They will update throughout your blog... errrr... emmmm... site, automatically when you ad or edit them. So don't be afraid to switch them up from time to time and look for better returns. Don't hesitate to mix in some quality non paying "ad links" to places like wikipedia, google, and top sites in your niche, so that they carry more weight when return visitors click through.
6d) Optionally also get and install a copy of sem-external-links and set it up to open a target_blank window on external links so your blog... errr... emmmm... site remains in the background when the reader clicks away.
6e) be sure to include the adsense marker in each post. Or the YPN!. Or none, just do the contectuals... It's like Burger King, but with less burgers and more webpages.
6f) make other sites in subdomains or on new domains and try different combinations of the above techniques and tools. Test it for yourself. Don't just accept my word for it. This is *****A***** way to do it, not the way to do it.
7)Look into other plugins and additional programs like a remote poster/scheduler or an autoresponder. Try using the pages feature in wordpress and make a couple relevant sales pages for resale rights products or products you create yourself. Link to them from your contextual textlink ad plugin.
Explore other options. try them out. Keep what improves things (and drop me a note about it) and dump what doesn't.
9) subscribe to my blog and ask me for recommendations of other additional tools for this system, or just say hi.
