Well, this isn’t only about the Shoemoney System, but I’m now on a quest to try to outrank affiliate marketers and floggers for Shoemoney System and related terms like Shoemoney System Review and Is the Shoemoney System a Scam, etc. Good luck, right? They have experience and a head start. I guess we’ll see how that pans out…
Anyway, the Shoemoney System has really taken a turn for the best. My biggest complaint was that it was slow. It was slow because they had included really basic stuff like account set-up and entire videos dedicated to definitions like “What is Affiliate Marketing?” within the course on the 3-day posting schedule. I don’t know about you, but I don’t require 3 days to absorb the intricacies of setting up a Facebook account. Well, as of Sunday, they took all that sort of supplementary material, released it all at once, and put it in its own section called “Getting Started.” There’s 30 new videos in there, and now the core content will be all the real money making content that people have been hoping for. They also sped up the releases last week, giving us 4 new core videos dealing with making money on eBay with arbitrage. Ebay arbitrage is nothing new, and is something I vaguely knew about but never bothered to pursue information on it. All in all it seems pretty interesting, and I spent a few hours this weekend trying to find arbitrage opportunities (with little luck, mind you). I am hoping the Shoemoney System gets into a little more detail on how to find these opportunities. That’s really all I have about the Shoemoney System right now, so if that’s what you came for you might want to leave. Now onto my little side projects…
In my last post I mentioned that I was giving Project Payday a try, and that I would give it it’s own post. Well, much like the program itself, I can’t be bovvered to write an entire post about it. I did indeed make 50 bucks from it (less several dollars for shipping the of a couple items), and it took me about 1.5 hours of work up front and maybe half an hour of follow up. I thought about posting a screen shot for a larf because it’s only $50, but $25 an hour is not a terrible wage. The problem is that this program is actual work. I knew that going in, but man is it tedious as hell. I have a day job, so what precious time I have outside of work I am using to pursue more long-term ways of producing passive income online. If I didn’t have a job though I would definitely give this a deeper consideration. I can see how more time and effort would bring in more money, and it’s real money deposited into your Paypal account, no B.S. It’s really just too much of a pain in the ass, and time consuming for me to bother right now. I guess this is where I toss you an affiliate link? I’m even too lazy to do that. Just type it into your url box if you want to check it out. It’s free after you complete an offer which is probably also free or very cheap.
How are my efforts in newbie SEO going? Remember that old blog that I was going to SEO rape? (Dear G, please rank me for SEO rape. Thanks.) Well I went through and tweaked urls, tags, meta info, and keywords within posts (without overdoing things). After that I set about creating a new post related to that term I was ranked #10 for in Google. Then I wrote another post on the same subject and spread it throughout the internets, making sure I included a backlink to my site. After my small amount of effort, as of this morning, I am number 1 for that term. I’ll have to add some backlinks to really solidify my place there, but the scrapers have been doing a pretty decent job of that themselves. That’s how I know I’ve made it. I have scrapers. What is rather vexing though, is that I thought I’d set up double-indexing properly. What’s better than being in spot #1? Being in 1 AND 2. But I’m only holding spot 1 at the moment. The odd thing is, the new post actually uses the plural, and a plural search finds that post at position 13 and it actually IS double indexed with the original (spot 1) post, so I’m 13 and 14 there. Weird. I imagine Google will sort that out eventually, we’ll see.
I only want to briefly touch on that keyword I was super excited about before. After acquiring a better understanding of keyword analysis, I have found that it is indeed a great candidate for a niche site. The competition is harder than I had imagine at first, but it’s doable. I don’t have much to say about it right now though because it has yet to be indexed by G. I’m going to write some more articles, and get some more backlinks and go back at G and say “Howyalikemenow!” Google will probably continue to hate.
