Custom Xsitepro Website Templates
Anyone who has used xsitepro can easily tell when a website is created with xsitepro templates. Once an Xsitepro website pops up in your browser, there's no doubt that it was made with the standard Xsitepro templates.
I'm not intimating that xsitepro is a bad program for creating websites, but simply that the pages it creates all have a standard look and appear to be created by a newbie. Now....I'm not ripping on Xsitepro or their users. Now, because of Xsitepro's use of templates......just about anyone can get a website online and maintain it, while learning the basics of working online. Anyone can choose an xsitepro template, plug it into the xsitepro program and begin to build a website, edit the website and upload it to the word wide web.
This is my concern, as someone who runs an online business and offline business, I want the most professional looking website available. How a business physically appears will often determine whether that person will buy, the same applies to your website, if it looks like a 10 year old created it.....well, that visitor will click away as fast as his mouse finger allows!
You have 2 options, you can contract with a professional website designer specializing in Custom Xsitepro Templates or you can learn to create custom templates yourself. I can create an xsitepro template that is next to impossible for anyone to tell that the site made from xsitepro. Another option is to search for some 3rd party providers of xsitepro templates, you can find some pretty nasty stuff, but there are also some great looking xsite templates that are packaged together. Yes, I'm a fan of custom xsite templates, but if your budget doesn't allow you to purchase one of these classy looking templates you can learn to use all the features of xsite ver 2 to create some pretty nice looking webpages using the standard templates.
You can check out one of the custom xsite templates I created recently, I altered it a little and created a small set of pages using Xsitepro Templates as the theme, click on Custom Xsitepro Themes to see an example.

Seamless Integration of Wordpress into Xsitepro with XsiteprotoWordpress
I do a lot of work with Xsitepro. It’s a fantastic platform for
creating websites….fast! Better yet, just about anybody can get online
quickly if they use xsitepro. Surprisingly there is another way to get
online quickly and easily…that’s by using a blog, in particular a
Wordpress blog. In a perfect world I would use a wordpress blog and add
it to a xsitepro website, however, there hasn’t been an easy way to
create a seamless transition between the two…..that is until now! A
friend of mine is working on a system called XsiteprotoWordpress
which does exactly what we need, you can add a wordpress blog
seamlessly to a xsitepro website. Below is an article which explains it
a little further.
Did you ever want to install a wordpress blog in your xsitepro website?
Maybe you wanted to install the wp blog in your website but didn’t want to have the blog look differently than the Xsitepro website.
It’s a tall order to customize a wordpress theme to match the
xsitepro website and a task much taller than the average webmaster can
accomplish.
Well, I have some good news for you. I stumbled across a new product called XsiteprotoWordpress which promises to teach you to seamlessly integrate a wordpress blog into your xsitepro website.
This is straight from the Creators:
We have been building XSitePro websites and integrating WordPress
blogs for our clients with great success. Our specialty has been to
give our clients top notch sites with blogs that are seamlessly
integrated into the main site. Through this we have learned the inner
workings of both XSitePro and WordPress systems.
Keep an eye on this product if you want to learn how to create a blog and website that are seamlessly integrated.
If you purchased Xsitepro
chances are that you purchased it because of the ease of creating
websites. The other thing it does is create websites that have pages
which are properly optimized for search engines. This is so very
important if you want traffic to your website and Xsitepro does this
automatically behind the scenes….to date no other website editor has
been able to do this.
Enter Wordpress….although not a typical website editor or creator as
you know wordpress creates blogs. The beauty behind a wordpress blog is
that creates webpages that are optimized to an even greater degree than
xsitepro and attracts the search engine spiders like a magnet. At this
point, there simply isn’t a better way to create a webpage that is
built for traffic generation.
This is where XsiteprotoWordpress
comes in. You can take the effectiveness of Xsitepro and Wordpress and
bring them together. I can tell you from experience that having an
Xsitepro website with a Wordpress Blog will bring massive amounts of
traffic and the addition of the two platforms is synergistic. By that,
I mean, the sum is greater than the addition of the individual parts.
Check out XsiteprotoWordpress today….if it’s not live yet, do yourself a favor and join their mailing list!

- Article Marketing will bring you those needed backlinks from the article directories to your affiliate products or website. This is important because Google will place more value on your website when it notices that there are many links pointing back to your website.
- By using keywords correctly in your articles you will position yourself as an authority for the subjects or niches that you write about. If you write good information, problem solving articles....readers will come to depend upon you for the information you write about.
- By adding a byline or resource box to your content you will be giving potential customers a way to contact you after reading your valuable content. Not only will this create powerful links, but it will also help connect additional traffic to your website that you would not normally be able to get.
- If you focus on creating articles that have been properly optimized, using search engine optimization techniques, your website traffic will increase greatly and if you submit your articles to directories where everyone can use them, the backlinks and pagerank will increase greatly.

Three Ways to Profit with Internet Marketing
3 Quick Methods To Increase Your Internet Marketing Profits
If you apply just one of the below methods, I guarantee you will increase your profits if you are an Internet Marketer. Apply the below internet marketing techniques to your public domain business and watch your profits soar!
Internet marketing IS hard work. Face that fact. Especially in the beginning. Hoiwever, the beautiful thing about Internet marketing is that once you have you business up and running there are some very easy things which you can do that can give you an instant boost in earnings and that can over a long period of time increase your profits by an amazing amount. Here are a few steps that you can take which can make the difference between just getting by and really living life to the max.
Do you know how many of the super successful internet marketers make their huge profits? They have their own affiliate program with 10's, 100's or even 1000's of other marketers promoting their product. So if you don't have an affiliate program for your product you are leaving a ton of cash on the table. Don't worry if you don't have an affiliate program and don't have a panic attack at the thought of putting one together....it's really pretty easy once you know how.
I'll share to very quick ways you can start your own affiliate program, just go to either clickbank.com or paydotcom.com. There is a big benefit using these solutions, both clickbank and paydotcom have an army of affiliates that are willing to drive traffic to your website. Another thing is that most of the processes are fully automated which means you really spend little time messing around with the affiliate program. It is a good idea to use both of these solutions to really maximize your profits.
This is a great way to do something one time and then reap the profits forever. There are many ways to create an upsell. You can offer an interview with an expert from your field, include or offer a more expensive ebook or even tempt the buyer with a software application of script that would be of tremendous benefit. Remember they have their credit card out and are in the buying mood.
You Visitor became a buyer. That means they trusted you with their credit card. You've become the expert. So....take advantage of their trust and tell them they also need product XYZ, and give them the affiliate link on your Thank You Page.....they will thank you :) You'll really increase your profits with this method. Many successful marketers really clean up by properly using their thank you pages. Put some thought into it and find a product that fits...don't be afraid to try an expensive upsell on this important piece of real estate.
I just revealed to you some of the most fundamental ways of increasing your profits. The only thing left for you to do is to implement at least one of these strategies.....I guarantee that you will burst with excitement with your first upsell! So...be a good internet marketer and take action, it's the only thing between you and more money!!
If you have an interest in Internet Marketing then I suggest you arm yourself with a good education and some good, functional tools. Finally I found a group of like minded people willing to invest their time and share their talents with me. It's a membership called Earn1KaDay where the goal is to teach you to make $1,000 a day. You can find tools, ebooks and just about everything you need to start developing an online income.

Limitless Blog Content with Public Domain Works
Looking for blog content?
Look no further....Tony Laidig has come up with another winner called "Limitless Blog Content" and reveals how to find relevant niche related blogging content to fit just about any niche.
Read further to find out more.
=> Blogs are a BIG deal. <=
If you don't have one (or several), you're missing out on
one of the smartest online business strategies that exists
online today. Here's why. With your own blog(s), you can:
=> Create passive streams of income through affiliate sales,
Adsense, banner ads and more (which means more money)
=> Establish yourself as an expert (which increases
credibility)
=> Get your website indexed quickly by Google (which means
more traffic)
=> Manage and update your websites quickly (which saves
time and effort)
=> Interact with your customers and subscribers (which
increases loyalty)
=> Quickly post content from a variety of sources,
including video (which provides flexibility)
=> Benefit from the power of the Social Bookmarking and
Networking Sites (which means even more traffic)
=> And a lot more...
-----------------------------------------------------------
FREE Blog Content
-----------------------------------------------------------
The challenge is (and this may be what's been stopping you)
that you need CONTENT for these blogs. If you're a prolific
writer on multiple topics...content is NOT an issue. However,
chances are that you're not a prolific writer.
Of course, you COULD purchase a bunch of PLR articles for
your niche blog...God knows everyone seems to be selling
them. But you see, that's part of the problem. How many
OTHER people will be posting the SAME articles? Google
HATES duplicate content!
Ghosterwriters are an option. Let's see...one post a day
times thirty days a month times $10 an article...well...
maybe not. Of course, if you have DEEP pockets of cash,
this might be the way to go (BTW...I have some great swamp
land in Florida...lots of opportunities...wink).
----------------------------------------------------------
Limitless Blog Content
----------------------------------------------------------
This exact problem stopped me in my tracks for creating
niche blogs. There are some great affiliate products out
there I wanted to promote as well as finally making some
cash from Adsense...but the content was always an issue.
Then I made a discovery that changed everything.
NOW, I have more content than I'll EVER be able to use
for my niche blogs. It's proven content written by
leaders in their fields of expertise. Plus, the content
costs just pennies for dozens of articles! And here is
the best part...
I can use the content for my blogs, for articles, for
product creation and more without worrying about
competition and I look like the EXPERT!
This powerful new content model was discovered and
developed by my good friend, Tony Laidig, and it's
called "Limitless Blog Content" To learn more about
this powerful new source for content, go to the address
below and start your OWN money-making niche blogs today!

Review of Kim Standerline's Niche Health Articles for June
In many ways public domain and plr are the same. Depending on the license that comes with the Private Label Rights, it could be the same as Public Domain. So....I thought I would include some thoughts in this blog about Private Label Rights...some of the sites that work for me, some of the sources...and what to do with your PLR materials. You have to be careful, because there's a lot of PLR garbage out there. Once something is sold as PLR....thousands upon thousands could be using it. So....first I wanted to show you a website I work with called Niche Health Products.
Xsitepro Version 2 and Niche Health Products make a very profitable pair. Xsitepro Templates are specifically designed for Niche Health Product sites and with a little editing of the plr articles on your part, these sites can be very profitable just with adsense. If you consider using affiliate sales of either medical or herbal supplements.....or even books and ebooks from Amazon or Clickbank, these sites can be little vending machines. Below, you can read a further review and take a look at the free xsitepro templates for this month.
PLR articles can help you make a lot of money if you are using good articles and approaching the process from the right angle.
There are a variety of PLR licenses being sold and promoted. Some let you do anything you want with them,
giving rights to sell to others
selling a site once it's completed...known as site flipping
most plr licenses will allow you to put your name on it if you alter the original in a signifcant way
claiming authorship
many times you are limited regarding the ability to give resell rights to others
.....and on and on
Private Label Rights memberships have sprouted like dandelions over the last 2 years and I belong to a good number of them and truthfully, I forget sometimes for months at a time to download all the material. That is all of them except for one. That would be Niche Health Products by Kim Standerline which provides articles, ebooks and 2 highly customizable monthly websites complete with custom graphics and templates yep, you get a 2 subjects each month with minisites, otherwise known as adsense sites, articles, ebooks, website templates and graphics.
A powerful benefit of Kim's Niche Health Products is that the monthly materials allow you to penentrate deeply into a niche that is very wide, that Niche being the Health and Wellness niche and each month the two subjects will be one aspect of illness or the health industry.
I was really fortunate to be able to join the NHP team and started by making header graphics and ebook covers, I still do those, but now I also create website templates for xsitepro and standard html templates.. I really enjoy doing my work for Niche Health Products and I don't want to brag, but the graphics are high quality and the xsitepro website templates are off the charts.....I guarantee you'll never see anything like them....I invest a lot of time in these website templates, using my experience with adsense and other advertising such as amazon or clickbank, I create the website so it is optimized and easy to change your id numbers. The websites are also created in a way that keeps the content fresh and rotated so in essence you will never find two websites the same....no duplicate content penalties.
Again, each month I create two new XsitePro templates that reflect the subjects for each month. Each xsitepro template is also converted into a standard html template for non-xsite users. I also create a simple square header and footer for each subject in case someone might be looking just for a header graphic. Then I create an ebook which is matched in color and theme for each of the 2 subjects for that month. Along with the ebook, I create a flat image for both themes.
You get a psd and jpg version of each website template so you can edit and slice the template as you wish.
As mentioned you get 2 seperate versions of each website template, the psd and jpg files, the jpg file is optimized for best appearance and quick loading. You will get 2 seperate versions of Xsitepro websites ready to load up to your website....and you'll get 2 versions of a standard html website ready to load to your website.
You're probably wondering why 2 versions of Xsitepro. Well.....the first version of Xsitepro is a simple version with a .htm extension. Every webpage is made with the basic xsitepro website template and includes 3 google adsense ads with one plr article...once in a while I'll include a clickbank ebook if appropiate. Bottom line.....this first style is designed for the novice...someone who is new to xsitepro and webiste building...so all you have to do is import, edit and upload.
Version #2 is also an Xsitepro edition and includes everything that version 1 includes, except it has dynamic content automatically included and rotated on every page of your website. Basically this Xsitepro website has everything the first version has, however, it includes something very important and that is the rotating snippets of text and current news from rss feeds, the snippets will include affiliate links, sometimes amazon, sometimes clickbank and always for more than one product...don't forget the bottom of the page has fresh news snippets automatically included from online news sources. It's next to impossible to have duplicate content with these sites even if you don't change a thing....(as always, anytime you work with plr material it is to your advantage to do some editing to the original text). The other unique thing about these sites is that they will have the .php extension
The next 2 versions are for those that use programs like dreamweaver, NVU, FrontPage or other WYSIWYG type editors.
The third version has pages with the extension of .htm and it has everything that the second XsitePro version has....the major difference is that the pages are controlled by a .htacess file (that may be greek to you...thus the reason for version #4). This is a file that allows the pages to end in .htm or .html and still have the fancy rotating content and other dynamically rotated material on the site. Remember, the dynamic material is to help create a degree of uniqueness to your website.
Sometimes your hosting provider has a hard time using the .htaccess file so the pages have to end in .php.....this is the 4th version. It has everything of #3 but the .htaccess file and it is sometimes easier to work with....You will not see any difference in the last two versions except the .php ending. I might add that the .php pages usually will not show up in the typical wysiwyg webpage editors.
As you can see, this article includes some samples of all the graphics for this month....this way you'll get a better idea what's included....and don't forget everything can be edited if you have some basic skills. If you don't own photoshop then the ebooks are a little tricky to edit, however, I create them in a way that is very generic, most people use than as is, of course, I'll do any editing you might need for a small fee.
This month the subjects are on Respite Care and Diabetes. You can see a screen shot of the graphics about and if you click on the graphic, you'll go to an actual site.
Do you use Private Label Rights material, if you do, then don't miss Niche Health Products by Kim Standerline....by far the best PLR Health membership site for2 years strong :)

XsitePro Ver 2 for Making Fast Websites ....even for Newbies
Version 2 of XsitePro is out to the public. Big deal you say, why should you care. Because you can build a website in a matter of hours and its one of the easiest website editors to use. Sure, you might be able to use wordpress blogs or blogger blogs for all your work, but I guarantee at some point you will need to build a standard website or webpage. In fact, using a strategy of static webpages and blogs can be very effective....the idea is that you will need to understand the process invovled in building regular old html websites.....Xsitepro will help you.
In discussing how to make money with public domain material you will eventually have to set up a webpage that sells a product, besides a sales page...you'll need download pages, popups, landing pages.....everything you see a smart online marketer using and sometimes a blog just doesn't cut it. You get the idea....you will have to build these pages...if not you, then you're gonna have to shell out some cash and outsource it, my suggestion is that you learn to use Xsitepro to build your static websites to sell and promote your public domain works, otherwise, you'll be paying someone to do it for you.
This may sound a little hooky, but I really care about my readers, I use the things that I recommend and I've been using Xsitepro version 1 for the last 2 years (almost) and it is perfect for anyone wanting to build their own sites....XsitePro version 2 has so many features that you really should consider it part of your online money making arsenal of tools.
Just wanted to let you know....
XsitePro 2.0 is now available.
Lot's of people have been waiting a long time. XSitePro version 2 has finally been released into the eagerly-awaiting arms of a huge and growing loyal base of supporters.
- Wonder why this new software has sold thousands of copies?
- Are you guessing what the big deal is about xsite's new release?
All you have to do is take a few minutes out of your day and check on the link below. Xsitepro Version 2.0 will knock you socks off....take a look!
Here's the link:
XsitePro 2.0
I would also suggest you check out this link:
Easy Websites with Xsitepro"
Here's some quick videos that show how to use Xsitepro to create easy websites and how to create your own templates.
Xsitepro Tutorials
The new XsitePro Ver 2 permits anyone to build websites quickly...even a neophyte can get a website up an running in a matter of hours.....however, xsite has many advanced features that will allow more advanced webmasters to trick out their websites....so you're definitely not limited and especially with version 2, you can do much more than with version 1.
I use Xsitepro to create minisites, it allows you to quickly create a 10 to 100 or more page site. The real beauty is in the linking structure that is automatically built. It provides automatic linking structures that are seo friendly and along with a sitepage, rssfeeds and other important seo features. As much as I hate to admit, its a quick and easy alternative to dreamweaver....and I am a bit predjudiced because I love Dreamweaver.
Are you serious about building websites? I would investigate XsitePro Version 2 Today!

Public Domain Secret Revealed
Are you Ready?
God Bless my mother, she is my public domain secret agent, working under cover and digging up treasures!
My mother is a consummate shopaholic, she lives to shop. Not that she goes out just to spend money, but she is on a constant hunt for a bargin. So...garage sales, open markets, rummage sales, church fund raisers....you name it, my mother stops by looking for the ultimate bargain.
=============================================================
Public Domain Tool of the Day
Do you get excited when thinking of Public Domain Images.....I wonder if you know everything there is to know about Public Domain Images.....well...you don't! I highly suggest taking a peek atTony Laidig's The Easy Money Picture Book it's like an encyclopedia on the subject of Public Domain Images...you'll be amazed.
==============================================================
I know opportunity when I see it!
Well considering mom's ability to get out and check the local stock, I recognized a possible business relationship could be formed...so I told mom about public domain materials and a little on how they work and what you can do with them. It was a major business plan. I said, "Mom, when you're out, keep an eye out for old books...don't spend more than a buck or two and if you feel like looking for a copyright, don't let anything get by you that has a copyright of 1928 or latter. If the book has pictures and images....you can pay up to 5 dollars for it.
Well...it's garage sale season and my mother and my wife are out looking for old public domain postcards, pictures, books, maps and any other printed work! I haven't been feeling too well so I don't get a chance to get out much...probably a good thing, since I'd probably end up spending more than I made :) Anyway, mom brought me an old geography text book from 1923, lots of great black and white photos and several colored plates that were graphics. I have 2 specific projects in mind...and no I'm not sharing them with you :)...anyway, these images will fit perfectly into one of the projects.
After reading Tony Laidig's, Tony Laidig's, "The Easy Money Picture Book" a light bulb went on regarding public domain images. You really need to get this book, it's a little more expensive than the typical e-book however, it's just packed with solid public domain content and information and I believe it's over 230 pages long. This book has been the seed for many thoughts regarding many projects concerning the use of public domain images and my mind is constantly reeling with ideas for projects of all kinds.
Getting back to the geography book that mom picked up. Let's not forget about the text. Although some if it is dated, much of it can be used for articles and website content either as is or with a little rewriting. I guarantee that this public domain content is as pure as the driven snow and I won't find any of it on the web anyplace....so no duplicate content!
Imagine all that from one little old book.
I hope you make the best of this summer in your hunt for public domain materials. It's June 12th, we didn't have much of a spring..but summer is here.....Let the Public Domain races begin :)

If you haven't done this before.... do you know it could take 8 hours of uploading the get one video to 15 different video hosting sites! Loading videos is so time intensive some of the so called guru's have people doing nothing than uploading videos all day...yep, they don't know about Traffic Geyser..

Research Using Public Domain
There is a wealth of information online and sometimes, in fact a log of times public domain material provides superior research material....remember "There is nothing new Under the Sun".
One of the things I’ve learned about public domain material is that it’s all about research. By that I mean, public domain material almost always comes up in some way when doing research on just about any topic. I ran across a post that gives you 5 Different Online Archives that can Aid in Your Research. Take a look
5 Online Archives To Aid Your Research
Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts – Here, you will have access to about 14000 public domain documents from American and English literature, as well as public domain images. Google Book Search – Yes, Google has its finger in every pie …

Free Public Domain Images
I found a site that has about 125 free public domain images.
The great thing about using free public domain images is, number 1, they are free :) Number 2 you can do anything you want with free public domain images. That means you can use them to create resell rights products, plr products and you can sell the images themselves.
One word of caution. When someone waives current copyright rules and says they are giving public domain rights to a specific work....sometimes they will put limitations on those public domain rights. I'm not sure how legal that is, but I'd had to create a product to sell only to find out that the original creator has put limits on the public domain rights and tells you that you can do anything you want except sell his works.
In reality I guess the above situation would not be true public domain. A simple way to avoid the problem is to drop the original owner an email and ask him/her if you can use their "works" in your project.
Anyway, back to the images. I'm always looking for images to use, here is a site with Free Public Domain Images just waiting for you to use :)
Public Domain Sources
Public Librariesa great source for finding public domain materials
Libraries are an excellent and free resource for finding public domain material. Pick a subject that interests you and scan the shelves for older books relating to the topic, or spend an afternoon browsing through the card catalogue. Most of the time, the publication date is right near the beginning of the listing on the card, so identifying works published before 1923 is a simple matter.
The Public Domain Code Book is a great place to learn some of the deeper details of how to use public domain images and other materials.
Most librarians are quite knowledgeable about their library's collections and are happy to help you find exactly what you're looking for. If you're planning a visit to the library, it's advantageous to make up a list of questions regarding the object of your search and approach the librarian before you do anything else, particularly if you are going to a small local library. Larger state-run library and university library staff members may not have the time or resources to devote personal attention to every patron.
Remember you can always check out if a work is in the public domain by going to Public Domain Basics!

Using Music Legally ....Public Domain Music
How To Legally Use Copyrighted Music
Free copyright music is often mistaken with free public domain music or music in which the copyright has expired. A copyright is in place for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years. If more than one songwriter has authored the music, ...
Civil War Battle Map a Public Domain Case Study
You probably already know that I have an interest in Public Domain Maps so lets look for something that has some monthly search volume with little competition from other websites. In this process I'm going to use only 2 tools to start with, Micro Nich Finder and an ebook and public domain images resource guide called The Easy Money Project by Tony Laidig.
I found a site that has some public domain maps, in particular, civil war maps and to dig a little deeper I looked for a Civil War Battle Map!
I basically outline the process and show you the tools to use. However, I can't stress how thorough The Easy Money Project ebook is....I think its around 200 pages. Tony describes the process of taking a digital image and turning it into a poster. He goes so far as to give you details on paper weight, printing costs, how to interact with the printer along with many other details.
So let's get started.

I guess you would have to agree that it's a respectable size
niche with many long tailed keywords. The key to marketing online
with success is finding a proper niche market and promoting the right
product and/or service to that market. Take a look at the difference between
"civil war map" with 1732 searches a month and "map of civil war" with
260 searches a month.
I use a tool called Micro Niche Finder
to locate long tailed keywords with a small amount of competition. Similar tools
will result in different results. It's very difficult to find a way to get an
exact number since every search engine is different in some way, however, the
construct of discovering money making niches utilizing a keyword tool like Micro
Niche Finder is very accurate.
For instance Micro Niche Finder
reveals to me that 'civil war map' is searched on 33,720 times every 30 days and
there are 50,100 webpages containing the exact keyword phrase. Keep in mind
that the amount 33,720 includes any phrase which includes the words
"civil" "war" and "map" and in any random order. Competing with 50,000 websites is
somewhat of a task...it's not impossible, but you would genuinely have to understand what
you're doing to get on the first or second page of google.
A more effective method is to search for a long-tailed-keywords with a search number of between 200 and 5000 a every 30 days for
that phrase and is only found on a small number of websites....which in a way is relative to the monthly search count. Lower than 10,000 is OK, 500 to 2000 is even better and you can find yourself on the first couple of pages in Google with little sweat.
In this case, I used Micro Niche Finder to discover this long tailed keyword "civil war battle maps"
There are 2,700 searches a every 30 days for that term and 2,910 webpages that
are indexed for that term. That implies that if I can get on page 1 of Google I will get nearly 3,000 eyes on my webpage each month. If 2% of those vistors would make a purchase, that would be 60 sales every 30 days!
Recall, there are only 3000 webpages indexed with the long tailed keyword "civil war battle maps".
All you have to do is use some simple seo practices, write some articles, produce a
mini-net with free blogs and practice some social networking and bookmarking you will be able to get
webpage on the first couple of pages of Google.
Now lets assume, you've done the seo,
written articles, did some social bookmarketing, submit to directories and create a web of blogs with some articles.....it's going to consume some time to get ranked for the the phrase in question. It's time to start putting your product together.
Let's find a Civil War Battle Map and if you click on that link....you'll find some civil war maps!
Assuming you've decided on a special Map of the Civil War,
let's create a poster of it. First you need to
download the civil war map that is most appropiate to your keywords, however, you have to know which
formatting to use and you will require some unique applications in order to view the image and
start working with it. This software is free for the taking....but that's all I'm
going to tell you right now. Tony Laidig, writes in his ebook, "The Easy Money Picture Project"
gives very specific inside information when it comes to working with public domain images, and using the information I've given you above along with
Micro Niche Finder Pro and Tony's Public Domain Image book you'll be able to make a top of the line product and start earning some public domain money!
I forgot to tell you, if you'd like to view how Micro Niche Finder works, click on the link and you'll be able to see a screen caputure video of the software digging up some long tailed keywords...no cost!
Very Well, I just given you a niche which is statistically proven, handed you a scheme for getting on the first pages of
google and told you the perfect tools to use in the entire process. Stop messing around! Click those links, get your credit card out and get started. Once you have these tools, you will have the ability to make a mark in the world of public domain images and in particular you will be able to make and market a civil war battle map calender or poster!
Shoot....just gave you another project idea :)
