Cheap webhosting with 25 domains and huge storage

February 22

Niche marketing ?

It's now 3 months since I started my internet income quest, and it seems there is an inexhaustable supply of products and programs, and I won't live long enough to try 10% of them. I don't have enough time to study the hundreds of "how to" videos and e-books to set up my own internet marketing megasites, so my latest venture is having someone else set it up for me. Generally this makes it much easier to do myself, and then I have the domain and hosting already in place.
I had no idea what it would actually consist of, and fervently hoped it would not be dog grooming or overpriced crappy vitamins or energy drinks.
Well, actually its not really marketing - the websites exist primarily for advertising revenue. It is a tad disappointing that a blog with the website URL
http://www.abundanceonline.biz  at the bottom ranks better in google than the actual websites - I guess this reflects the lack of actual contant in the site, and the need for me to build it myself. But I now understand why most google or yahoo searches end up on a page with no relevance to the search.
So it's time to explore some site generating software .HyperVRE looks good even without upgrades.
The webhosting is cheap and has a killer affiliate program. $4.95/month for 12 month contract with free domain name - that's less than i/3 of the cost of the first one i got sucked into signing up for.

Where have all the blog posts gone

Seriously - they keep disappearing.
Found this quote on a scam review site - hope they don't mind me putting it here.
 
 
 
It looks like there is no money in marketing these days, just money in marketing marketing to future marketing marketers. Thats a sustainable plan.

My journey into internet marketing

So it's 3 weeks into my get rich quick internet marketing experience, and so far I seem to be spending lots of money on things I didn't know existed or I needed to generate traffic to my websites that don't actually exist. The affiliate marketing program I signed up with says 6 streams of income but every day sees another service or upgrade to pay for in order to achieve success. 30 streams of income? Unlimited? That could be my claim when I get my own thing happening. My streams of income are yet to bear fruit, and despite being advised only 1 hour a day on the net is required I seem to spend over 10 hours just setting in place all that's required. It seems that each program bombards me with e-mail until I upgrade (pay more) and then ignores me. There are inumerable free traffic generators where you can advertise to thousands of people selling the same or very similar products as you, and the person at the top of your tree is directly competing with you but with 100 times more ads. Guess these are completely futile. I can optimise my search engine results guaranteeing me ( and the other 10,000 subscribers!!!) the top spot in search engines such as google, yahoo and MSN. Now how is that going to work?
I can buy the secret to getting all my google ads free, thus allowing me to bid up to $1,000,000 to ensure the top ad spot. Wow, when a thousand people do that the cost of advertising will kill every system. I can read another 200 + page e-book warning of all the scams and tediously outlining the author's eventual success using the program/s linked conspicuously every 10 pages. I can pass it forward in a win-win "help others while helping yourself" model ( to pass through my hands?), or team up with devotees of the Secret to attract money. I can turn my computer into an ATM by tellng people to pay me $X to allow them to tell other people to pay them $X in a 6/10 deep matrix which ensures $X x $X x $X x $X x ad infinitum. I can follow the guy with the same stock photo of the huge (but ugly) house and car who accidently found the missing secret. I can team with the Rich Jerk or his clone the Rich Pom to be a smartarse and publish bogus prewritten "articles" debating whether these sites are a scam ( strangely they all conclude that not only are they legit, but the "expert author" has pesronally made a ton of maney despite initially being sceptical).
And it all sounds entirely feasible - if you did it before the other 250,000 other people.
As a "newbie"(read sucker, as in "there's a sucker born every minute") who knows FA about any of this it can be confusing. Almost everything initially for sale can be found free on traffic sites. Of course there IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!. No 1 rule remember. Free advertising comes with competitors ads. Free websites come with ads and other people's content. Does it matter? Probably not. The 3 clicks per 1000 ad showings means virually no-one is interested in your ads - they're doing it to get the free ad/site/product JUST the same as you.
The biggest problem is that there are no dates in cyberspace - the program could be 5 years old (no chance) or recent, although most in "pre - launch" have actually already launched last year. Many links lead nowhere - who knows how long that "affiliate " persisted.
SO, here's my money sucking site if you're interested. I'm not angry - this is a cheap way to educate yourself about internet marketing. I've gone from being unable to copy and paste to submitting multiple websites to search engines, advertising on google, learning how to link sites and submit a blog, and learning exactly how NOT to try and make an income. For less than $250 so far.
I'll keep you posted !
