Hi All! I am George Pierce, this post is about making money online. I will be revealing some of the MMO truths and pitfalls you may not know about, along with a proven secret for your success. The focus of this post is the health niche, which I have been in for about 20 years, but the information can be applied to any niche. I got into the health niche to help people lose weight. The health niche was HOT 20 years ago, today, it is even HOTTER! The health niche is here to stay, and its future looks very promising. In addition, virtually every sub-niche of the health niche offers life-changing income potential. Health and wellness have hundreds of sub-niches, some of the most popular are:
Physical Fitness and Nutrition
Taking Care Of Chronic Problems
Workout and Physical Wellness
Holistic Practices
Charm and Grooming
Oral Health and Wellness
Hair and Scalp Issues
Persistent Pain Management
Affection and Relationships
Emotional Health and wellbeing
Rest and Relaxation
Nourishment and Meal Planning
Conscious Living
Spiritual Development
All-natural Treatments
So I jumped into my niche, and here is what I discovered.
Build it and they will come!
Unfortunately, this is no longer true; it is one of many online lessons I learned. So I advertised. Wow! Immediate quality traffic! Sadly, most of the traffic left almost as soon as they arrived, however, a few stayed, but my CTR was nearly zero and my sales were ZERO! I was new, and my website sucked. I was not aware that two things were separating me from the money...Knowledge and Experience. I was aware that I was NOT making money I was spending money. I believe that most newbies have a similar experience, and quit. That is why I want you to be aware of the financial potential, and to be aware of your need to gain knowledge and experience. The more we know about our niche, the better, but I soon discovered that the area that needed my attention was Marketing (Internet Marketing).
Another thing they don't tell us: If you are not willing to learn, making money online is probably not for you; if you are inclined to learn, perhaps; if you love to learn, it should be a great fit.
One of the secrets I discovered was that some of our target audience are 'Curious", some are 'Avid', and some are 'Desperate', while most are 'sincerely interested'...based on legit SEO and/or advertising. Almost ALL of our visitors are potential subscribers and customers, as well as repeat customers.
Visitors and viewers are potentially gold. This means that we want to Attract and Engage these potential customers. We want to make money, and we will get to that soon, but let's keep our initial focus on providing our visitors with what they want.
I am in the weight loss niche, so here is a real example. Liily released Zepbound, their 'newest weight loss drug' on 12-20-2024. We are not going to sell Zepbound, but some people that are interested in losing weight will want to know more about this 'newest weight loss drug'. We can research Zepbound and write an article and create a video about it. I usually use short-version videos to send visitors to my websites for the whole story.
But WAIT!
I have done this before, perhaps you have too, and it did not work! Creating an article and video is a great idea and it probably will not work without what is called niche research. Niche research allows us to focus on a keyword or phrase with good search, but LESS competition. Keywords and keyword phrases are what our prospective visitors, viewers, and customers are typing into their search boxes or telling Siri or Alexa to find when they are looking for our content.
Above is a snapshot of a free research tool called Ubersuggest. It shows that the search is spectacular, however, the competition is high, especially for beginners. PD is paid search difficulty, SD is organic search difficulty. The lower the number, the less competition, and I recommend an SD in the 30s or less for beginners. For example, an SD of 30, relates to about a 70% chance of success, and an SD of 20 would mean about an 80% chance.
Notice that "Newest Weight Loss Drug" has an SD of 34 with an excellent search volume.
If people are searching for "Newest Weight Loss Drug" and are taken to our web page or video about Zepbound, are they likely to watch our video or read our article? YES!
If we can build our content around a phrase with an SD in the 30s or less with good search, we suddenly have a real shot at organic traffic... and there is MORE.
It is called a HOOK!
Above is a snapshot of a portion of Lilly Investors site, manufacturer of Zepbound. As you can see, Zepbound is new. So far, we have managed to get traffic, free quality traffic, by building our content around a well-chosen keyword phrase, next we want to HOOK them into staying. Based on my research, Zepbound has outperformed ALL of the competition! Be sure to give your audience a reason to stay! So find that reason and put it at the beginning of your content.
Once they stay, they will appreciate the value of our content. Our goal is to get our audience to know, like, and trust us. As we build rapport (with quality content), our prospects are more and more likely to not only stay but also to return, as well as click on our offers and ads, and subscribe to our list.
The Money!
Finally, we are getting to the money, in your list, your ads, links, buttons, etc.
Your List:
Your best source of steady and reliable online income is in your list. You can start building your list for free, Aweber has a free version up to 500 subs, and Systeme is free, up to 2K subs. I use AIOP, but it is not free. AIOP is a complete marketing system, the cost is $12.50 per month, and AIOP provides your website and all your tools including a virtually unlimited autoresponder. I have been with them for years, I had one issue, someone tried to hack my account and steal my commissions. AIOP came to my rescue almost instantly.
Your Affiliates:
I recommend that you choose affiliates that are relative to your niche, there is a better chance of a click-through and a sale. And I strongly recommend that you research your affiliates before joining them. This happens less often, but some affiliates do not provide whatever they represent and do not pay. If you go through an affiliate network such as Clickbank, Rakuten, Share A Sale, CJ, or Avangate, your chances of this happening are probably zero. As you grow, consider networks such as Impact and Flex Offers. Avangate is mostly tech, but the other networks have quality affiliates in almost every niche.
I am primarily a content marketer, the above is a content marketing method that has been working for me for about 15 years, so it has proven itself over and over again.
The traffic above is all free! It is for the last 24 hours and I use this method.
One more tip is to include your keyword phrase in your meta section. A free tool, free meta tag generator will help you with that.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

PPS. Zepbound has a profoundly positive effect on sleep apnea, usually eliminating it within a year! So... another article, based on keywords such as sleep apnea treatment new. Monthly search 3600, SD 28. Are you getting an idea of how this will work for you?

When businesses fail more often than not it is because of poor market research. Poor marketing can cause a business to fail as well. To earn from a business both market research and marketing are important. Every marketer worth a salt also has a marketing strategy. George shares part of his strategy quite often. Believe me you can't last as many years as George has without a working strategy.
I believe that most people have no strategy and are relatively clueless about how to use the Internet to enhance their business. Which is where outsourcing to a company such as Lisech, is their best choice, thank you, Dennis.
I speak from experience when I say when you do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. What I have found is every business has different needs. There is no one size fits all.
