If you are looking at a fairly easy way to set up a money making directory style site then this is one of the easiest ways that I know…. ** Highly Recommended **

One that I don’t use often enough is a site crazily called Social Monkee!

The basic use of this site is completely free and allows you to submit one of your URL’s, once a day, to twenty five social networking sites.

This creates a number of backlinks to your URL which is perfect for Search Engine Optimization purposes.

You can only submit a URL one time, this stops the social networks blocking you for abuse, but you submit as many URL’s from one site as you want.

I have just finished an experiment on a six month old site using nothing but the free service from Social Monkee.

A different URL from the same site was submitted every day for two weeks, nothing else, no other form of promotion at all was done.

Then two weeks later I checked the visitor and site statistics on Google Analytics.

For the first five months there had been a slowly increasing trickle of visitors, with a high of just under sixty unique visitors in the week before I started the experiment.

The first week of the experiment showed that there had been eighty unique visitors….

The second week showed over three hundred unique visitors!

More importantly the results from search engine referrals showed that the keywords that I had used to promote the URL’s were starting to be found on both Google and Bing.

This has to be more than coincidence and to my mind simply reinforces the belief that I have in the power of backlinking.

I use a number of different services, mostly paid ones, to build links but in this instance I tested using only Social Monkee so that no other factors came into play.

Highly recommended, and free!

Commissions will range from 50% all the way up to 100% in some cases.

ClickBank will be the preferred vendor as that is the easiest way for me to guarantee your commissions getting to you on a regular basis (they pay out either weekly or two weekly depending on your standing with them)

All of the products promoted through ClickBank have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee so you can rest assured that your customers will have ample opportunity to try them out, a great selling point.

This is in it’s early stages and new products will be added as I have time.

Currently there are only a couple of products available but there are many more in the pipeline.

I am in no rush to add a ton of products all at once as the most important thing is to make sure that the right products are added. They will all be products that I have personally used so you can be sure that the quality is exceptional.

If you want to purchase any of the products for yourself feel free to use your own ClickBank link.

If you have any problem doing it this way simply send me 50% of the sale price via PayPal to this address: sales@creative-webs.co.uk

In the notes add which product the payment is for and I will dispatch it as soon as I see your payment.

Directory sites are hugely profitable as you are able to charge clients for listing their products or services, as well as earning good affiliate incomes from advertising and promotions on the site itself.

One of my directory sites that I set up just before the end of last year is currently running at around $7 a day in income, pretty good for a two month old site!

The software that I use is called Directory Press and costs around $70 for an unlimited site licence.

BUT…

For the month of July only I have negotiated you a steep discount which will knock a whopping $20 off the price.

All you need to do is go HERE

Enter the code JULYPROMO where it says ‘I have a discount coupon’

Press the refresh button next to the discount code box and your discount will magically appear.

Ready “out-of-the-box”

DirectoryPress makes starting your own directory website a piece of cake! It comes “out of the box” with lots of extra designs, build in payment gateways, google maps, DOMZ and CSV import tools, reciprocal link checker, membership packages and lots more!

If you’re thinking of starting your own online directory then DirectoryPress will save you lots of time and money and even allowing you to setup 1 or 1,000 directory websites with unlimited installation.

This comes highly recommended and is ideal for the newer WordPress site developer.

Note that this works only on self-hosted WordPress sites, NOT on wordpress.com!

Let me know if you need any help with your site…

My tests carried out an a PLR article that I own allowed me to rewrite the content in such a way that the resulting article passed Copyscape testing first time.

Within ten minutes I had a seed article ready to spin into a large number of variations that were able to be submitted to a number of article directories without duplication.

Unusually Content Professor is 100% online based which means that you can access it from anywhere at any time, using any browser or operating system… no more Mac problems!

One major benefit is that membership is completely free with no obligation to upgrade ever.

Upgrading does have benefits for the power user but the free system is more than adequate for the majority of users.

I bet I know the answer! I think most of us would have to admit that we don’t always spend much time on the download pages. They really can be a pain in the butt to get right, and if you get them wrong it is nothing less than embarrassing!

After all, we already made the sale right? We deliver the product and thank them. What else is there to do?

Well, actually a lot! Because most of us should know that it’s easier to get someone to buy another product after they just purchased one.After all, that’s the point of one time offers right?

Well, now you can give your customers another chance to give you money, and also give them something extra just to say thank you.

Instead of me explaining it, just check out the information at:

One really neat feature is the one click bonus and upsell settings. These allow you to promote ready made offers on your download pages, perfect for anyone who doesn’t have a load of good products of their own available.

I have personally started using this, and I encourage you to have a look as well…

BUT…

It misses out on some functions that are really handy to have, which is where plugins come in.

If you don’t know what a plugin is then in a nutshell they are pieces of code which can be added to WordPress to make something happen.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of plugins available. Some are free, some are paid, but here are a few free ones that I use extensively in my network of blogs.

These require a one-time activation and registration but this only takes a minute or so.

Here are today’s recommendations, in no particular order:

MaxBlogPress Unblockable Popup – This plugin does exactly what it says it does, creates pop ups.

Love them or hate them it doesn’t really matter, they work!

Add your favorite or latest affiliate offer, make your list signup form more obvious, remind someone how much you value their custom, or anything else that you may feel is relevant… get this one now while it’s still free.

MaxBlogPress Stripe Ads – This plugin adds a small advertising stripe to your page, unobtrusive but very effective. Easy to set up and use, one of my favorites…

MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer – This plugin gets around one of WordPresses weak points, site pinging. By default WP pings, or notifies, other sites as posts are added to your admin area. If you schedule a number of posts to appear over time then what happens is WP pings them all at creation time, then pings the same post again if you go back and edit it at any time.

This plugin only pings when a post is published and goes live, and also doesn’t ping every time you edit a post.

A good plugin to have which may just save your blog being banned.

That’s it for today, more to follow soon.
