/diy/ - Do It Yourself

you are now doing the following in order:
-think of a niche (topic to write about)
-locate base article on the web (to be copied and spun)
-spin the article into a fresh article for personal use
-spin the spun article x amount of times until out of keywords

You are now taking one web article, and getting 3-10 NEW articles out of it. if you were making 2 dollars off every submitted article, you now are making 2 * 10 = 20 dollars off of every one article you find.

on a fast note after i got the hang of things, i could spin these out in a few hours time.

however, you do NOT want to submit all of these on the same ac account. so what do you do?

6. TIME TO SCALE UP

Create new emails. Create new AC accounts. Link them accordingly to new paypals etc. Get your mom and dad to let you use them. Get a check payment on an account, etc etc.

You can google information on how to create "stealth paypal" accounts, I would go into detail here but its a bit of information for another thread another time. basically, figure out any way you can to get new paypals or borrow friends and families.

AC isnt dumb. They will notice you submitting 10 of the same type of "rank for google" articles, even if you re-word them. they are manually checked and you will start getting declined instead of getting offers.

but thats STILL not it, this is a growing pain as AC, even over multiple accounts, can and will notice spun articles being submitted. so what do you do? sit on them for a bit or get busy.

-gather 5 different types of articles on the web. we will call these the Web articles.

Examples:
A. "rank for google"
B. "house train your dog"
C. "best PSP game of all time"
D. "How to hack your android"
E. "how to lose 10lbs fast"

5. Expanding your money even more! MORE ARTICLES!

By now if your following along, you should have already made 20-50 bucks, which will mean you have written a LOT of articles. You should have learned how to create decent articles in decent time, and now we can expand into creating MORE, EASIER.

with your newfound method of discovering keywords, we can now take a single article that you choose to duplicate (we will be using "rank for google" article as an example from here on out)

we have researched and found 5-10 keyphrases that look juicy.

now, expand what you have learned. you should be able to pinpoint what keywords the articles you take are using now (they will use the same term over and over again) and you will now keep that in mind when manually spinning them, replacing the keywords they use with your own.

the optimal habbit (for me) has been to use 2-5 keywords/phrases per article, depending on its size. I normally target articles in the 500-700 word range, you should do. you dont want to spend too much time on any one article.

re-write the original article replacing its keywords with yours. instead of instantly submitting what you've created, use your freshly spun article as the "original" and repeat the process, re-wording it and replacing keywords with new keywords. do this until all keywords are used.

I don't do these methods anymore as I've moved into different areas of IM. article writers are already in the billions of people, its not a big deal.

it also forces new ideas to be created, growth brings growth

For an example of discovering new terms:

"rank for google"

we've typed it in the keyword checker, and lets just assume (i havent checked) nothing good comes up. shit, what now? easy answer, we change the words we are looking at, but keep in the same niche.

from "rank for google" we can try things such as:
How to rank in google
google ranking tips
how can i rank in google
google rank techniques
google rank
search engine ranking
how to rank in google search engine

the list goes on and on. as you plug each of those into the research tool, you will get more and more choices. pick out ones with decent search volume (for first attempts anything over a few hundred searches a month is fine), then type it into google itself and see the total results, find one with decently low competition (again, below 10 mil for first run, as you get more serious about this hunt for under 1 mil, etc)

comprise a list of all keyterms/phrases you discover that are good. even if you dont use them now, you may want to use them later, and having a list on hand of juicy keyphrases is a great resource to have and stops you from wasting your previous effort.

4. Refine your articles - Make more money!

So we know how to create quick content now. Now is the time to begin focusing on generating content that lures more eyes to it.

How do we do this? Through a process of using keywords/keyphrases.

Google "Google keyword tool". This is a site IMers use to find out popular google search terms. The generic idea is this:

The more you use a specific key term, the higher in google results you will be when someone searches for that term. Theres a billion factors that go into google rankings (working these factors is known as Search engine optimization, or SEO) but for now this is all you need to understand.

The reason we re-write the articles is because google looks very poorly on duplicate content, however it is a machine that just matches word for word setups, if you change the structure of what is said, but still says the exact same thing, google doesnt know you've cheated.

Lets say we just choose an article to copy titled "rank for google"

you will go to the google keyword tool and type in "rank for google" and look through the results it gives you.

we see the first result:
page ranking google
60,500 global monthly searches

hey, thats a LOT of searches, awesome! but how many results (ie competition) does that keyword have?

well, if we type it into google.com and hit enter, we see:
About 63,700,000 results (0.19 seconds)

Ohh, holy. crap. thats alot.

the point is to search for a nice area of decent searches with low results (preferabbly under 1 million, i tend to go for anything under 5 million)
it will take trial and error and tinkering, but eventually you'll start learning how to choose your own words.

3. Begin creating your own content.

open another (blank) word document and allign the copied text on half your screen and the blank on the other half. Read the first paragraph once through. Start over. Read the first sentence. Stop. Re-write that sentence in the new document, changing it.

For instance.

you read:
"So you want to learn how to forget your ex girlfriend?"

you write:
"If you have read this, It's safe to assume you want to forget your ex girlfriend."

Repeat this process until you have completed the entire article.

Spellcheck this article, pretty it up any way you can.

The first time you do this it will probably take 30 minutes to an hour. Once you get good, you shouldn't take any longer to build it than it takes to read it twice. On average I can re-write a 700 word article in about 5-10 minutes.

Submit this new article to AC for upfront payment and wait. They will probably offer you 1.50 - 3.00 for it. Take the offer.

Repeat this process until you have around 20-30 dollars. With a bit of devotion you can accomplish this in a few days time.

This is called article re-writing or manual spinning. You now have the basics of creating fast, cheap and legible content.

2. we will begin our focus to try and get a bit of quick change to fund our work.
-come up with a niche you want to toy with. Dont put much thought into it. Like video games? we will do video games. Like wood working? we will do wood working. Been broken up with and its on your mind? We'll look into breakups.

Decide on something you want to "help" people with. Go into google and search "top 10 ways to _____", "how to _____" "Tips for ______" etc etc.

examples:
"Top 10 tips for getting over your ex"
"5 easy ways to make pudding"
"how to become a carpenter easy"
etc

Whatever you choose, we want to focus on finding How to, Top 10, and other "informational" articles.

after typing it into google, you should find plenty of articles online over that topic. Pick the 3rd one (it doesnt have to be third, i just say that cause you never want to pick the first one). Copy and paste it into a text document.

1. create a pen name and sign up to the previously mentioned areas. You do NOT want to use your real name or an online alias you already use. You do NOT want anyone that decides to cheat you/play dirty in your niche/etc finding anything more on you than they can. I would recommend for future IM projects (consider this Project 1) to keep everything seperated. there are dirty players in the IM world and they will do anything to make you less competition.

there are 3 main styles of internet marketing:
-White Hat (Completely legit, by the book methods)
-Grey Hat (somewhat legit, "they MIGHT ban me if they notice" methods
-Black Hat ("Proxy up and use throwaway accounts, this is something they dont want me to do" methods)

We will be diving into a bit of all 3 categories here. Primarily staying in Greyhat territory that shouldnt yield any bannings as long as you follow along.

What you will need:
-new email account (to segregate your work to its own area)
-Hubpages.com account
-Squidoo.com account
-Associatedcontent.com account (now Yahoo Voices)*
-text editor (i like microsoft word)
-Google Adsense account

*I have not used this site in years, last i heard they still worked the same, if they no longer pay upfront for things then fuck them.

So I've decided tonight I will share something with /diy/.

I've seen many "how can i make some money online" threads. I've responded in bits and pieces here and there with general answers, but decided I'll sit down and spoon feed anyone who's interested a few thoughts.

Who am I? Who cares. the only thing that matters is to know I've played with internet marketing (IM) for years, had great success and great fails. The following information will be meant as a series of stepping stones to get anyone who is genuinely interested in IM into the mix, get their feet wet, and learn the basic principles. This is not a "become a millionaire" guide. This will teach you to make money online and help you learn the fundamentals.

PS: This picture is being used because another anon quoted my response in another thread to answer another person asking for IM advice, he used this pic, and seeing that someone took what i said and kept it is what has motivated me to do this.
