 Publish Foundational Content

Plan and write at least 10 mega awesome articles that hit your main keywords.
Hold nothing back. Thoroughly cover the topics. Include videos, images, etc.
These will be your foundational posts (or pages). You’ll likely link back to these
posts from other posts.

Examples of 20 seed post topics for “salon marketing” are as follows:

 Salon Marketing Plan

 Salon Business Plan

 How to Start a Salon Business

 How to become a hairdresser

 E-Mail Marketing Tips for Salon Owners

 Facebook Marketing Tips for Salon Owners

You could pretty much use the above topics for any industry (tweak as needed).

Under monetization, I offer suggestions for MANY more articles and blog posts
that promote products. With the above list and all the product promotions you
can do, it’s pretty easy to get a 100 post blog published pretty quickly load with
top-notch info that’s a selling machine.

 Marketing

 Legal

 Human Resources

 Sales

 Operations

 Facilities

The above posts will take you a long time to write. They should be long, detailed
and helpful. Going forward, you’ll be able to link back to them frequently.
You can easily create helpful video series for your readers. Offer these videos on
your website or require readers to sign up to your e-mail list. An example of a
video series is how to build a salon business website with WordPress.

post that contained 20 questions to ask an insurance provider before buying


insurance. This post receives a ton of traffic (for the niche).

Affiliate Offers. Consider:

 Industry software: Promote the best cloud business software for your
industry. Negotiate a recurring commission if at all possible … this
accounts for the lion’s share of my revenue.

 If you can’t find industry-specific software that offers commissions, look


for general scheduling/bookkeeping software with recurring commissions.
Freshbooks, for instance, pays recurring commission for 12 months. It’s a
very good selling scheduling software. However, spend some time looking
because there may be better options for your industry.

 WordPress hosting/themes for your industry: This stuff sells really


well. I find ElegantThemes and StudioPress themes sell incredibly well to
small business owners (they offer great looking business website themes).
Get a developer license to one or both of those theme developers, then
create a video course on how to build a website with WordPress for your
industry and use it to attract subscribers and sell themes. I’ve earned tens
of thousands of dollars doing this method exactly. It’s so simple.

 Also, promote Bluehost hosting. Do a quick video showing how easy it is


to use Bluehost to set up a great looking business website in minutes with
Bluehost and ElegantThemes or StudioPress. Bluehost pays $65 per sale
and StudioPress pays $35 per sale. That’s $100 commission. Very, very
simple stuff.
 Other website development tools – plugins, etc. Always be on the
lookout for website tools that you can promote. Remember, software sells.

 Insurance (business, health, disability and life – business owners buy


insurance for themselves and their employees).

 Education institutions if one must be certified for the industry. Be sure to


check out CPA offers here as well.

 Incorporation services. These pay $40 + per customer. Check out


LegalZoom which is a big player in the space. There are many online legal
services sites you can promote including legal document preparation
services.

 Office supplies … Amazon can be great here … but don’t promote


Amazon directly in e-mails; send email readers to a web page promoting
an Amazon product.

 Electronics such as laptops, office supplies, etc. – again Amazon is great.

 Business plans – check out bplans.com – they have an affiliate program


here.

 E-mail autoresponder software – many small business owners don’t do


e-mail marketing … you can train them and promote e-mail marketing
software. Promote AWebeAC bookr, which pays a recurring commission
for lifetime. Otherwise, promote the email autoresponder you have so you
can do demo videos. 2 other decent ones are GetResponse and Constant
Contact.
 Stock photo sites: Businesses need images for their website and blog.
Promote the 2 best – AC book and AC book. They both have affiliate
programs. Businesses will buy loads of images.

 Digital Courses: In some industries, there are digital courses you can sell
as an affiliate. For example, on Clickbank there are courses on how to
start a cleaning business. These sell well… they’re not available in every
industry though. I suggest you do a search in Google for courses in your
industry.

 Certification Courses: Online education and certifications is HUGE


money. If your industry requires certification or some form of online
education, promote a particular program. They’re out there… just look.
You could enter into an arrangement with a school or program whereby
you sell them leads. In fact, one of the highest paying niches for
Adsense/Adwords is online education. Clicks can go for up to $60 or
more. That means these institutions are willing to pay big bucks for leads
and sales.

 Quick-Start to Earning Commissions:


 For every product you promote, do the following:
 1. Product Review: Writing product reviews and complementary articles
that sell isn’t too difficult (especially if you use the product).
 2. Demo video (or a video series if it’s more complex)
 3. How-to Article(s)……..: How to Set Up Email Opt In Form on
ElegantThemes website.
 4. Product A vs. Product B: For instance, you can compare and
contrast AC book and Constant Contact for your industry… and compare
LeadPages and Optimize Press… and compare AC book and AC book for
business websites… and compare AC book and Hostgator. Do this with
every type of product.
 Think about it… the potential for demo videos, how-to articles, product
reviews and product comparisons is endless with the list above. You can
do everything specifically teaching a select industry for higher conversion
rate.
