Internet Marketing For Newbies

Well, sort of . This is the affiliate site I’ve mentioned in several post. I’m still working on the auction section of the site but hope to have it up by tonight. I purchased BayRSS WP plugin for the auction area and it’s proven to be a challenge. The plugin itself is pretty nice in that it will do what I need it to do. However, the learning curve for this plugin is pretty steep, mainly because of the poor documentation that comes with it. I find myself flipping between the doc’s and the forum to figure out how to use the tags (plugin is tag driven).

Real Spy Gear was the name I was after but as luck would have it that domain name was taken, thus, BestRealSpyGear.com . Real Spy Gear is one of my keywords so I wanted to work it into the domain for the site. The site handles spy gear (duh) as well as Self Defense non-lethal weapons (stun guns, mace, etc..) and products to help protect your home.

To monetize the site I used three affiliate suppliers that will handle all the orders. I’m also using  clickbank, adsense, eBay and at some point  I’ll add Amazon to the mix. Over the weekend I’ll spend some time promoting the site. I’ll do a separate post on how I went about it.

I bought a ebook that I’m still reading and so far it seems to be pretty good. Once I’ve finished reading it, I’ll write a post on it and give you my opinion on it.

Till next time…
