The important thing is to demonstrate the value and relevance of the bonuses. They shouldn’t compete with the product, rather add to it and fill out any gaps the main product itself might not cover.

There is a point of course where too many bonuses might hinder the offer purely because it’s a distraction to figure out what is what.

Nowadays you’re better off using a wordpress blog for a website anyway, if you don’t intend to “blog” with it, it’s a great content management system.

Bear in mind if you plan on attracting traffic from search engines you will need content, so writing a blog is part of the SEO strategy I talk about in my book. I suggest you do some research first to get an understanding of the basics and avoid making any drastic decisions based on desperation.

A friend of mine told me to get onto your website ASAP. I’m about to release my first product but it’s NOT a blog–it is an eBook called The Big Yellow Fat Loss eBook (named after me)! However as I just got made redundant from the investment banking sector and I am literally starting from ZERO/ SCRATCH with nothing I was wondering if your SEO can be used for normal websites instead of blogs? Because I have never set up a blog before but have set up a website. I am desperate literally to find out about SEO as I really do not have a clue and time and money are running out for me. I’ll look into your course just now but I’d really appreciate it if you could tell me if I can apply your SEO to websites instead-thanks dude! All the best,

Bob (AKA BIG YELLOW BOB).

Such a guidebook could definitely be essential for those who are not that familiar with SEO or specially with blog platform inefficiencies!

Cheers Yaro!

You are idol for many internet entrepreneur, you are the best!!

I’ve also had a membership in Niche Profits Classroom in the past, and have some websites in the works (set up a few months ago) using the techniques taught there. But in the meanwhile I have become so busy with my other online business activities which are making a lot more immediate income, that I have barely had time to think about them.

I’ve finally come to the conclusion that it is workable to create these sites for two purposes:

1. As practice sites, to learn internet marketing, web development, SEO, etc.
2. Once you have learned enough about internet marketing that you really know what you are doing and are earnings some income, use that income to outsource as much of the work as possible on those sites. But still take the time time check quality – edit content, check facts, train your assistants, search for and find the best people, etc. Otherwise, trying to handle everything yourself becomes insane. Way to confusing, too many plates to spin.

I personally now prefer to consider these sites as side projects, while I focus my primary attention on generating the income I need to grow my business. I also sometimes set some of this income aside to outsource more work on my smaller sites, but they are still very much back-burner, particularly now when I still have plenty of other start-up costs for my primary online business which earns the most money.

When I have time to write, myself, I now prefer to dedicate my energy and ideas to my own blogs which are very personal to me and which are on subjects I am passionate about. It’s hard enough for me to find time to write at all these days.

So when writing is needed on one of my “satellite” blogs or websites, I have a very good writer to assist me. And I get her writing edited by a native English speaker as needed. She is a great researcher and writer, she enjoys what she does, and she is very reliable and fast. And yes, she does live in the Philippines!

Till then,

Thanks for your clarification.

Yes, you are absolutely right. You are talking about timeless content, which is time independent fundamental content that continues to remain valuable and relevant over a longer period of time in a specific niche although you are dealing with fast changing niche.

In addition to that your system is perfectly tuned and your processes are well defined.

That’s why you are so much relaxed even if you have to launch so many things in a short period of time.

But the interesting thing about you – that I noticed – you are doing all your product launches on your prescheduled calendar with some modifications and enhancements and at the same time you are continuously blogging at the same pace on some other topics which are not essentially related to your product launches. That’s really great!

I am off to sign up right now for your membership site – this is another nice bonus – I look forward to learning how to get a membership site going and how to bring readers on board – or if the topic I am using will bring people on board at all. SEO ranking help sound good too!

Anyways, good luck to all – I know I am going to be one of those case studies that Yaro shows some of you down the road – so here I go!

It depends on your niche of course, for example a site on social media like twitter or youtube will have to keep up with the changes, but if you focus on fundamentals, and ultimately to have success with a blog or membership site, it’s the fundamentals that matter and don’t change, then your training can remain valuable and relevant across a period of years.

Hence when I do launches I can focus on the launch without worrying about the content of what I’m selling, if I’ve already created the product.

There’s actually a lifecycle system I use with the launch of my products that I’ve pretty much replicated now across all three of the courses I’ve created. It’s a fairly good system and means you can leverage a lot out of about six months of hard work.

I explain all of this inside membership site mastermind by the way

Personally, I trust the quality of your core system and at first blush, the bonuses distract me.

I vaguely remember a guideline in argumentation that a compelling case gets weaker when you add on arguments for it (people start to question the value of the original argument.) I bet there’s a marketing parallel (but I suspect it depends on whether it’s for emotional appeal vs. logical thinking …)

Nonetheless, I’m glad to see you finish off and package up your SEO wisdom from the real world … nothing teaches like experience.

It’s one thing getting a membership, or any other website set up, but a lot struggle to drive traffic to them afterwards. Maybe that should read attract traffic instead?

You could obviously try PPC but I prefer free traffic as well, less to control and no managing campaigns is always nice,

It’s great to see you come out with your one of the best coaching program once again. What amazed me about you – the way you manage all of your different project-launches parallel to blogging so fast! If I am not wrong – you have launched your new private coaching, Become A Blogger and now Membership Site Mastermind within last 2 months. How do you handle all these things single-handedly? Though you have staffs to help you but all deliverables have to come out from your hands. It’s amazing!

It’s always pleasure to refer your programs to my blog readers and subscribers.
