Hi All! I am George Pierce. At the time of the post, I am in the process of building another website. There are certain ingredients that your website needs, most of which will not make you money. Let's call those ingredients, the Nuts and Bolts. Also there are a number of trick$ and $ecret$ that will help your site make money!
My site is a WP website, built with pagelayer. I share that because the pagelayer option provides us with an easy and fast way to get the NUTS and BOLTS (essential pages) already set up for us, which, of course need to be customized. The essential pages are your home page, contact page, product and/or services page, and about page. The good news (sort of) is that most aspiring Internet marketers and nearly all online businesses stop there with a minimum number of pages.
In addition, most websites have few, if any, of the tricks and secrets for making money.
What are those Trick$ and $ecret$?
I am a content marketer. So content is one of the secrets that I use and recommend for making money onlne. Content for content sake is NOT how this works. Do your best to provide quality, quality content will pay, poor quality content will drive visitors away. But let's take this one $tep further. That $tep is to create web page content based on a keyword or keyword phrase. There are free $EO tools that will help you find keywords and phrases that have good search or great serch and less competition. My favorites are Ubersuggest and TubeBuddy, both have a free version, as well as being available as a Chrome extension.
Above, is a snapshot of Ubersuggest in action. For 'newbies', I recommend an SD in the 30s or lower. BUT..with 110K monthly searches, an SD of 60 is comparatively low. So here are two more $ecrets or Trick$. Add even more (content) and create a $tring of pages or $ections.
Adding more content means to dig a little deeper. In the example above, find and add more images and personal and business information than other sites. Why? Because, your visitors are going to STAY, and they are going to return, and they are sincerely the best visitors you could ask for, and the search engines are going to send them to your site for FREE. Include your keywords in your meta section, WP has several SEO plugins that will help you. (click on Plugins, the add new, type SEO in the search box, find the Plugin you want, download and install).
$tring your pages together!?? (pagelayer can help).
Allow me to clarify: $tring some of your pages together, perhaps a half dozen or so, all with related content. Using the above example, all the pages would be about Paul Anka, his life, his career, his songs, and so on. Another $tring might be pages about Elvis, this works regardless of your niche, The $tring almost forces content upon your visitors, and when it is relative quality content, this strategy works for you in so many ways. There is no thinking and no clicking needed by your visitors, but your content MUST be relative, quality content. You want your site to be like fly paper, when visitors land, they do not leave.
Above is an example of a $tring of pages.
Think about this strategy for a moment, please. Your visitors have typed into their search boxes, the keyword phrase that your webpage or web section is built on, and, of course, you have done a superb job of providing the content that they are looking for. And you have added several more interesting pages, that they cannot resist.
There are lots more Trick$ and $ecret$ coming, but getting free quality visitors seems like the best place to start. And my next post will include how to use $ocial media to drive even more free traffic. And when we get into 'monetization', remember that people LOVE to shop! and "People LOVE to buy!"
So...(IMO)...think of a quality content site as a way to provide a satisfying meal, after which, the Trick$ and $ecret$ you will be learning, will help you make it easy for your visitors to shop and buy!
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
