How to SEO your way to a million

1) Get a budget, ideally some credit cards, so you're risking other people's money.

2) Set up 5-10 aff programs, can be direct PPC to merchant or sites of your own that make sales or collect leads. Try to make them in completely different industries to avoid the "eggs in one basket" problem.

3) Run PPC with as much as you can readily afford to lose without going bust. As you start to make profits, keep your advertising overhead below your cashflow limit (i.e. what you can afford to repay each month from your aff income)Leave yourself a small comfort fund in case u get a bad month or two.

3) Measure conversions like mad. Kill keywords that don't perform. Optmise bids and work on variations of keywords that do perform.

4) Now you have the data that tells you which keywords make you a profit.

5) Develop SEO'd sites around the converting keywords. Start getting links by exchanging, buying, and all the other clever SEO stuff that you can read about all over here and other forums.

6) As your SEO sites start to rank and drive traffic, reduce and eventually stop the PPC.

7) Go to the beach, and employ someone else to invest your money for long term capital growth. Real estate is good and not overly volatile, so that's my preference.

8)(Optional) Post here about how clever my plan was

It may take a year or so, but believe me, this works. And no, I don't wanna sell you an e-book, or have you join my mailing list.

If you want to help others make money never ask them to spend. Enplane the business idea and let them chose how to promote their business. PPC is for most affiliate programs wast of money, to use PPC effectively you need to sell a product or promote Pay-Per-Lead affiliate program

PPC will waste your money if you don't know how the system works

We have a lot of clients in the affiliate business having success with PPC.

Its a matter of putting up a good strategy on bidding, keyword selection, PPC provider, etc. that would make it work best for you.

Are there many affiliate programs that allow direct linking with ppc ads? I don't know of that many.

Budget doesn't mean everything. To get a success in online business, you should have experience and knowledge in this sphere.
If you don't have experience, you will absolutely fail to succeed!

Great idea about SEO that helps to make more money online which can be done by staying at home. I prefer starting a home business with which I will be comfortable by consuming my time.

It's a good theory on paper and yes it would work in principle but most people are going to stumble at the first stage and there's nothing to say that you're going to make profits with the 5 affil progs - is there?

This used to work long time ago. Nowadays, there are too many people doing it. There is no easy route to SEO, just work hard.

I don't think that PPC is working great as of this times. Anyway, thanks for sharing ideas about SEO, it gives me some idea.

Just signing up to that many affiliate programs and taking part in PPC are not sure fire ways anymore. This may have worked before, not anymore. Or at least it's not that easy anymore.

What is Anton says is correctly to make money online is not easy in fact i think 5 days office hour job is more safer.

Know what is seo and how to do it, then you can build a website, then build backlinks to make more people visit your site,then add adsense on it, i think you can earn money.

You should not spend money to earn money online. What you need is skill, and the knowledge on how to do it to succeed in the field.
