How to Use Tailwind to Drive Pinterest Traffic and Sales

February 2, 2016 by Editorial Staff

Google set out to clean the web with their Panda and Penguin algorithms. The result: thousands of genuine bloggers and businesses were put out of business.

If you are one of those people still struggling to recover your lost organic rankings and are waiting for the next big update from Google, stop bothering.

There are plenty of other strategies that can give you the results you need. One that I’ve started focusing on 2016 is Pinterest marketing.

Facebook and Twitter are undoubtedly are great tools for social marketing, but Pinterest is the platform that has been showing the most active growth. The New York Times reported that Pinterest recently surpassed the 100 MILLION MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS landmark and is continuing to grow at an explosive rate. In an interview with VentureBeat, Pinterest shared some interesting statistics.

– About 70 percent of people visiting Pinterest are not just finding items of interest they are taking action too (save or click-through).

– The number of searches done on Pinterest has also grown 81 percent annually.

– Two-thirds of all content people pin comes from a retail site or blog.

The power of Pinterest is amazing.

ConvertKit Review: The Only List Building Tool A Blogger Needs

January 29, 2016 by Editorial Staff

Are you frustrated with your email marketing software?

I was. For a very long time!

I used Aweber for a year, then it was MailChimp for the next two; I tried my hand at GetResponse and signed up to Benchmark Email and Vertical Response, but all these tools lacked one thing or another.

Aweber did not offer landing pages, MailChimp kept sending me fake subscribers, GetResponse forms kept disappearing on my sidebar, Benchmark opt-ins wouldn’t integrate with my lead-gen plugin Thrive Leads and Vertical Response was missing RSS campaigns. I was THOROUGHLY and UTTERLY frustrated.

I almost gave up on email marketing until I chanced upon ConvertKit, a relatively new email marketing software from designer, author and blogger Nathan Berry. My instant attraction to ConvertKit was that it was designed by a blogger, a person like me who probably went through the same pains any fellow blogger goes through when he’s looking for an ideal marketing solution that fits his needs; a tool easy enough to use, yet powerful, customizable, and affordable.

Authority SEO Course: Learn To Build Profitable Adsense Niche Sites

July 6, 2015 by Editorial Staff

Micro Niche Sites are Untenable: Authority Niche Sites are the Future!

Ten years ago, setting up a niche site and earning money off it from AdSense was easy. Today, Google places a lot of emphasis on content creation to educate an audience and frowns upon sites that are built simply to game AdSense. Google’s major shake up of the web, via its Penguin, Panda and other algorithms simply means that setting up a micro niche site and earning easy passive income on it is no longer a viable option.

However, that does not mean that the niche sites have reached their expiry date. It only means that they have to be realigned to meet the current demands and requirements of search engines. And that in effect has given birth to what is known as Authority Niches.

So how does one build an authority niche in the light of the changed ecosystem and is it still possible to make money from AdSense from it?
Many pundits would say that AdSense monetization is flogging a dead horse. Chris Lee begs to differ. In fact he makes over $10,000 a month on his niche websites just using AdSense.

How I Saved $1340 Moving To BlueHost

June 29, 2015 by Editorial Staff

Setting up an online business may be a piece of cake for professionals, but if you are starting out for the first time, this can be an extremely daunting and confusing task. There are many key decisions that need to be made and one such important decision involves signing up for a web hosting provider.

A web host stores your website files in powerful web servers that is connected to a network so that anyone looking for information about your product or service instantly receives information from it on their PCs.

Finding a good web host is extremely important, because if you end up with a poor service, your website will end up with server issues resulting in loads of downtime losing you both customers and revenue. There are plenty of top service providers in today’s market but a review of their services can be very confusing. There are some who swear by one best web hosting provider, while there are ten others warning you to stay away from it.

Plus there is always an element of bias in a web hosting review on account of the affiliate commission involved. So if you are in the business of picking up a web hosting provider, you need to do a lot of research and weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a decision.

UPDATE : I have now moved my web hosting services to SiteGround. See why I made this change and why SiteGround rocks!

SEMrush Review: The Best SEM Competitor Research Tool

May 11, 2015 by Editorial Staff

Keyword research, position tracking, competitive analysis, and a regular site audit are a few of the key factors that are essential to strengthen and enhance one’s online presence in search engines.

Big business houses tend to have their own in-house SEO teams, but if you’re a small business owner or blogger, outsourcing your SEO campaigns may be beyond your budget.

For those who decide to do their own SEO, most market tools are either too pricey or complicated to use. But that is not always the case.

We show you how you can make use of one of the most comprehensive keyword research, business intelligence and online competitor analysis software to break the barriers to ranking on the first page of Google.

Before we get to that, let me tell you about my good friend Jim. He worked as an accountant in a nice big firm, but his 9 to 5 job, which he mostly ended up working for over 16 hours a day, (Saturday included) was starting to wear him thin.

Sunday was his day to do what he loved – fly fishing.

In fact, he loved his hobby so much that he wanted to quit his day job and devote all his time to doing what he loved. He heard a lot about blogging and online businesses and decided to explore the idea some more.

He spent about a month researching various websites on how to set up a niche business. After reading the income reports of popular bloggers and how it was possible to make a LOT of passive income just by working for a few hours a week… he decided to take the plunge.
