It's Not Free, But It's Close

You have heard me talk about Wealthy Affiliate before, but it's been a while. If you haven't seen my videos on You Tube, I'll share with you that 100% of my success online, including the success I've had with my BANS sites, comes from what I learned on Wealthy Affiliate.

It is the one learning resource I'd share with my family and friends...

In fact, I tell most newbies to stop buying anything else once they're a member on WA. There's really no need to buy a bunch of e-books anyway, and they teach you more than you'll use iver ten lifetimes. Wealthy Affiliate is the best way to get from $0 to your goals online.

That's why I've been a member since June of 2006.

So why all of the talk about Wealthy Affiliate? They are running a special right now where you can get a 7-day trial for only $1! This isn't some type of scaled down membership either. You get access to everything they have.

In fact, even if you don't need any of their training or other resources, their NicheQ reports alone are worth the dollar. .

Every month, they add some in-depth research reports on new niches; you get to pick one each month that you're a member, and you get access to one as soon as you sign up for the trial. These reports are huge too! They contain in-depth market research, PLR articles and ebooks, keywords, website templates, etc. for the niche. It's almost a business in a box. If you can't earn your dollar back with one of these babies, you aren't trying!

So, head on over to Wealthy Affiliate and check it out. You have to hurry though... the trial offer ends on June 8th at Noon EST.

Send me a shout on the WA forum if you sign up and I'll send a little something your way.

Traffic isn't always good!

Are you struggling with your online money making efforts? I did too at first, then I found and applied some key secrets of the "big guns" online. The most important one is to give your visitors what they're looking for (duh!).

Here's a quote from the Internet Wealth Guide:

Traffic does not equal sales... it simply means people are coming to your page. The quality and relevance of your website traffic is always the most important thing.

The guide goes on to give an of a website selling healthy dog food that was optimized for the keyword "dog" (perhaps an extreme example). That site would get traffic for people looking to buy a dog, looking for tips to keep their dog from barking, even those looking for their local dog pound! You'd get less traffic if you targeted the keyword "healthy dog food" but the traffic would be highly targeted.

You can get yourself a free copy of the guide here. It has some good information if you're stuck and don't know where to start. It also uncovers some misconceptions that the more experienced marketers may already have formed.

New BANS templates

The guys over at Build a Niche Store have been very busy lately!

They've totally revamped their site and their forum to make both quite a bit more user friendly. The BANS forum is a great resource as you work on your sites. Although I'm not as active over there as I probably should be, I've gotten some great tips over the last several months.

I also noticed that they have produced a new group of templates. These templates are very easy to use, and they make some great looking BANS sites with just a little work. Here's an example of a site selling discount wedding decorations that I built using one of the new templates. I think it looks great, it's highly SEO optimized, and it only took a few minutes! Here's another sample site that the guys at BANS built.

I'm excited at the possibilities that these new templates provide!

New Squidoo Lens

Although this isn't exactly about BANS or building BANS stores, I posted a new Squidoo lens today about more general tips for internet marketing. Many of the tips, like mentoring and quality content apply to BANS sites just like the do to Internet marketing success in general.

I've been busy updating my BANS sites with some fresh content over the last few weeks, and the search engines really seem to love it. If your own traffic is tapering off, maybe it's time for a new article or two. Even though the eBay items change enough to keep your sites fresh, nothing helps your search results quite like fresh content.

Building Headers for your BANS Website

Need help building headers for your BANS website? Here's a YouTube video that shows one of the methods I use. It's easy, and you can use it to make some nice looking headers.

New BANS Bonus Offer

I mentioned this on the Wealthy Affiliate Forum, but I'd be remiss if I didn't tell my readers here about my offer. If you haven't read my Squidoo lens or the posts on the WA forum, I'm offering a really nice bonus for those who purchase BANS through my affiliate link.

Here's a section of the latest post that gives some more details:

Good news and bad news....
After months and months of working my fingers to the bone slaving over my computer keyboard ( ), I wrapped up all of the finishing touches to the 2nd bonus this afternoon. If you've already bought BANS, you'll be getting an email shortly with a link to the updated (and final) version.

So, for those who already own BANS and wanted a copy, I'll have something packaged up for you this weekend.


What's the bad news?
It's not exactly terrible, but I mentioned it before: now that this is finished, I'm going to pull bonus #1 and not offer it any more. But, since this new bonus has taken me so much longer than I originally planned, and because there's real value in it, I'll do this:


The cleverly hidden offer...
Between now and Saturday at midnight Central, if you buy BANS via my link (see below), you'll get both bonuses with a whole bunch of extras thrown in. After midnight on Saturday, bonus #1 goes away for good.

If, after 24 pages and 345 replies, you're still on the fence, here's what's included in the two bonuses:

Bonus #1
The method I used to make over $100 in the first week from my first BANS site. This has been used by others with similar and sometimes much better results. Read the early posts in this thread for details...
Bonus #2
A step-by-step method of automating the sales and traffic on your BANS sites. You won't make as much with this method initially as you can with the first method, but these sites are truly automated once they get going. You want more money? Just set another one up. It also includes details on how to make your BANS sites look their best; many BANS users struggle with this.
Extras
Sorry, I'm not going to spill the beans here, but you'll be pleased by all you get.

What's an offer without testimonials?
Here's what others have said about the package:
Bonus #1

His secret is very simple, but VERY helpful. I do recommend it. I debated getting this through my own link, but opted for his. I am glad I did.




I earned my first BANS commission in 72 hours. It wasn't much, but I thought that was pretty quick to already be getting traffic that earns commissions.




Once you get going, this is soooo easy. Money well spent.




Like someone said here, it really works!!!
...
And for people who want to buy BANS, go through Kent's link, it is worth it!







Today I wake up to another couple of leads, one has been confirmed resulting in another $25 commission. Also another $3.11 in adsense brings my total to a nice little $65 in 5 days.




I really encourage anyone who has knowledge of IM to consider the BANS strategy and purchase from Kent. You have brought something to my attention that has focused me sharply Kent and I want you to know how much this thread has helped me get out of my "rutt" and I thank you dearly for showing us this. I really needed this kickstart.
So anyone who considers BANS please buy from Kent. He deserves it just for posting this awesome thread.

Bonus #2 (with extras)

I received the bonuses and am extremely glad I did. I am not an experienced marketer but think the bonuses would help anyone.




If you are an experienced marketer and already know how to bring in cash on a regular basis, then purchase BANS through clickbank.
On the other hand, if you want to find out Kent's technique for optimizes your chances at getting good traffic and a monthly income flow, then buy BANS through Kent - the more information the better. His stores sell and the more stores the better. My stores sell, but, now that I have read his bonus, I know how to make my stores soar.








If you are seriously interested in getting BANS.. I will vouch for Kent.. and buying it through him. You will be glad you did.




The PDF from Heaven

I just went through the bonus pdf and I will pm Kent shortly with feedback.

I wanted you all to hear my opinion on Kent's bonus.

I have been playing in the online marketing field for the last couple of years off and on. Kent's bonus package which teaches you how to setup a network for each BANS store (which can be applied to any type of web site) is by far the most useful that I have come across, especially the steps needed to gain traffic.

Kent, you are by far the most trustworthy marketer I have come across and I consider you my #1 mentor.

Folks, Kent has put together a top notch pdf on how to create a network system for each of your BANS store. It won't cost you a cent to gain the desired profit and traffic, just plenty of hard work which is what will set us apart - how hard are we willing to work. The harder you work, the more benefits you reap.

When Kent gets ready to sell his Bonus pdf - be sure to buy it. He doesn't just tell you what you need to do, he offers a step by step hold your hand approach which makes it easy to understand the steps involved, the sequence of events, and he offers all the tools needed to do this, all free.

God Almighty, I may just be free at last from the drudgery of a 9 to 5 job (or at least within a year anyway.)




Just wanted to thank you for the BANs info! I have my first site up and I'm starting the [process]. Super easy set up and your ... strategy is great! I would have been struggling with traffic without that.
...
Super fabulous information! This has been a fun project so far so fingers crossed there's also a pay out!




I never realised I'd get so many freebies from you, it's great.




You bonuses are great Kent, glad I purchased BANS via you.




You're bonuses are amazing, good quality stuff I will actually use!




Great information would help a new Bans user get up and running fast.




Definitely buy from Kent, you'll get so much extra, you'd be crazy not to.




This is a great, fully complete package of tools and information to help you get started with BANS. There are tools to start working on ideas for the site. Then it takes the BANS set up instructions to the next step so you can not only set up the site, you can start driving traffic!

Ok, this is starting to sound too much like a sales letter, and that wasn't my intent. It just feels good to be someone's #1 mentor...

BANS is a great way to get out of the thinking rut and start doing, and you can't make any money until you do something. If you've tried other marketing methods and are looking for a kick in the rear, this may be it; BANS certainly took my success to the next level (almost over night). The funny thing is that once you find success, it tends to follow you around. My brother told me that I seem to have the midas touch, and I assure you that I didn't have the touch of gold last summer.

But, if you're just starting out, you really should start out in the 8-week course first! Once you've gotten your feet wet a bit, then you can come back and take a look at BANS. For that matter, as I've said more than once, I wouldn't buy *any* product until you've made your first sale. Otherwise, you're just chasing the next dream...

For those who are ready, here's my link: http://wulfster.nichestore.hop.clickbank.net/

If you think BANS sounds like a great product and want to save a few bucks, just replace my Clickbank ID with yours (no hard feelings here).

And for everyone who was waiting on a stand-alone version of the bonus, it will be ready *very* soon...

Kent

P.S. The last time I did one of these long posts, no one could find my affiliate link. I assure, I'm not hiding it..
So here it is again: http://wulfster.nichestore.hop.clickbank.net/

P.P.S. Send me a PM with your order details and I'll send you the bonuses.

New Video on Keyword Research

I've been busy making videos, and the latest may help with finding keywords for your BANS stores. Take a look and let me know what you think:

If you can think of anything else you'd like to see, let me know and I'll try to put something together.
