I'm John Crestani I'm an affiliate marketer and for the last four years,
I've been running a seven-figure business but I got my start with blogging.
Now, in this video I'm gonna show you how I was consistently making
$20,000 commissions every single month from my little blog and I'm gonna walk
you through how you can as well. Let's get it.
So blogging is one of the simplest ways to earn an income online and get in front of people. Google is
serving you up on a golden platter specific people that are googling
specific search terms in their engine and you can get in front of them simply
by writing a blog post. There's two ways to go about making money online with
blogs, obviously there's a lot of business models you could be selling
consulting ecommerce affiliate marketing I teach affiliate marketing that's what I do .
But, I'm gonna focus just on getting
traffic to your blog, okay? Now, the first approach is you could go after broad
terms such as best baby diapers or really untargeted terms where people are
looking for a selection of items and this approach I found is very hard if
you're just starting out. There are a lot of websites out there who have a lot of
authority there's baby lists there's Lucy's list there's all these mom
websites that have been around for 10 years or more and they they have these
big keywords really nailed down. The way to make money in the way I got started
making money online with blogging was in 2012 and that was using very targeted
terms, buyers words. So before I jump on my computer and show you the examples of
a website that I used and the terms I was going after, I need to first explain
intent to you the concept of keyword intent. So you can think of it like a
funnel, okay? And up here you have lots of people searching for terms but they're
not as interested in buying. Lots of people that are searching for you
know that are searching millions of times a month or a year for these search
terms and down here you have very few people who are searching for little very
on targeted terms. But up here you have very little money because the people
don't really they aren't really ready to buy whatever product or service you're
offering yet, whereas down here you have big money. Okay? Now, if you're getting
started out in internet marketing if you're starting an internet business and
you want to make money you want to make passive profits, you're not gonna be able
to compete up here again the broad area is not for you which you want to go for
is the less you want to be the sniper and get the big money because there's
big money in little traffic and I'm gonna show you an example of how. So,
let's start out with a very innocuous example. So people searching for a term
such as TVs, Okay? TVs would be a very common term people who are searching to
buy a TV the first thing you might Google is TVs. That same person though
the people who are really getting specific might start googling a more
specific term such as 72 inch TV this person has a little better idea of what
they want and getting in front of that person with a selection of 72 inch TVs
would be much more targeted way to go about making money as either an
affiliate or an e-commerce person. How can we get more targeted than 72 inch TV?
Well let's go a little bit deeper. Samsung 72 inch TV. Now, we're getting a
little bit more specific the person not only knows what size of TV they want but
they know the actual brand name. Now, we're starting to get somewhere and this
is where we start seeing we can start seeing some money we can show people ads
based on a Samsung 72 inch TV there aren't too many Samsung 72 inch TVs so
we're hitting less people but we're hitting people who are much more assured
of what they want now how can you get more specific than this? Now, getting more
specific than a keyword such as Samsung 72 inch TV might seem a little
difficult at first but that's where the money is.
Son zoo said the obstacle is the way I'm gonna show you how in just a second here.
Now, I'm gonna jump a little bit ahead and go straight to the big money terms I
hope you don't mind if that's alright with you but the big money term would be
this, samsung six to zero one two zero six. You might be thinking John are you
totally crazy have you completely lost your mind?
Who would search for Samsung six two zero one two zero six, that just seems
like a bunch of numbers. What this term is right here you may think nobody's
actually searching for this long string of numbers. But what this search term
actually is, is this is a skew number this is the actual model number of this
particular samsung TV. The only people that are searching for this specific
term are people who have actually gone into a Best Buy or a Walmart looked at
the price of the TV and are googling it online to find a cheaper price because
they believe they can get a cheaper price online. These are buyers and
finding these sorts of keyword terms in your niche it takes research it takes
almost insider knowledge but these are the terms that if you can snipe them you
can write a blog article about them and target these specific terms then you're
in the money. You're in the big money . Now, I'm on my computer and am i googling one
of these very specific terms for a samsung 72 inch TV and if you see on my
screen right here the search term I searched for is Samsung it's even longer
it's Samsung UN seven five whatever eight to five and this was this is the
actual model number of a Samsung I guess they only have 75 inch TVs but that's
what I'm using right here. And what you'll see is that this term actually
gets 344 impressions per month. That's a lot of people
searching for such a highly specific term and again 75 inch TVs are the
highest end TVs you can get. The point I'm trying to demonstrate is that there
is massive volume there's more volume than you would think in these
unbelievably targeted keywords and if you figure them out you can put yourself
in front of big buyers who will spend lots of money whether it's on your own
products or in a product that you're marketing for someone else. Let me show
you an example from my own actual marketing campaigns and explain to you
the process I went through to make $20,000 a month consistently from just
blogging online and then I'll show you one of the websites an example of a
website that's similar to mine that I used to earn this sort of money so when
So when I started out affiliate marketing I did it on I didn't even know I was doing
affiliate marketing I was actually working for a a client who was paying me
a base amount of money to manage his ads but he gave me a bonus because he wanted
to incentivize me to utilize the full potential of my skills and he said John
I will pay $10,000 a month base or 3 percent of of the revenue we collect in
my company for you to do my ads he says I want to get a lot of leads and I want
to get a lot of money he says I want you to make as much money for my company as
possible that's why I'm leaving your income uncapped it was the opportunity
of lifetime and the client was willing to pay for all of the ads himself coming
across that was a drop of gold it was a drop of luck now the company I was I was
marketing for was an investment company so what I could have done to market this
company I could have tried to blog around the key word investments
now this keyword is way too broad and I would never get my blog ranked for it nor
would I necessarily make any money again the way this works is yes a lot of
people are searching for investment or investments but there's not that much
money in it relatively speaking overall the
investment market is massive there's so much money in it even even in an
untargeted term there's just the amount of money an investment world is
unbelievable but that being said that even bigger money is down here in the
more targeted targeted terms so the next thing I did was I got specific what type
of investments was the company I was working for selling
they were selling gold investments.
So I could have ranked myself for the term gold investments.
Again, slightly more targeted less people are
searching for this term it's a bit longer it's much more specific gold
investments a very specific type of investor who's looking to invest in gold.
Isn't that targeted enough? isn't that specific eno ugh? Well, we're gonna go more deeper.
Now, a more specific term than this would be actually going deeper into
how you could do this. These are all terms that get search volume.
This is the next more specific term 401k gold rollover. That's gotta work right?
That's gotta work how can you get more specific than that, what even is a 401 K
gold roller? Over I had no idea when I was marketing this company what the heck
of 401 K was or what the heck or rollover was I was 24 at the time, but
what I learned was that 401K's are retirement accounts right I'm 24.
How the heck am I supposed to know that term and rollovers are a specific way that you
move money from a retirement account into another asset class such as gold.
Now, this is a person looking for such a specific term. They they have a 401 K
they're looking to move it into gold through a rollover how can you get more
specific to buyers than that? Let's go deeper Rosland capital that's got to be
the term. I don't even know what that is. Rosland capital is a competitor gold
company to the one that I was marketing. The only people that would be searching
for Rosland capital are people that are not only interested in a 401 K gold
rollover but they'd seen an ad for Rosland capital
and they may be interested in working with the company. Therefore, this is
somebody who's already interested in doing a 401k rollover. They believe they
have a company they want to work with they're just looking for a little more
information. Surely this has to be the term but I went one level deeper and
this was where the big money was and this is how I was created to create an
income stream for myself that lasted for years . This was the money term Rosland
capital review, somebody who was searching for a review of Rosland
capital was interested in being a customer of the company but not
necessarily totally convinced that Rosland capital was the right company to
conduct their gold 401k rollover. Now that left the door wide open for
somebody like me to recommend the company that I was an affiliate for
simply by saying that Rosland capital it's a company but it's not necessarily
the best company out there. That seed of doubt that somebody already had in their
mind by searching for this word review that little seed of doubt that the
prospect for this company had, I was able to use to do well
maybe I was slightly biased but rating ratings and reviews
of this company and the other gold companies in the industry,
a nd end up recommending the company I worked for which paid me to get me more customers
for them and which I believe is the best gold company around. Now I created a
consistent income stream by putting up reviews of other gold companies in this
space and I'm going to show you an example of one of an example of the type
of blog that I put up to make this sort of money. Now I don't work in this space
anymore but this is an example to illustrate to you what is possible and
how you can go about things. So here I am in on a review site it's called gold IRA
handbook and I put up site something similar to this. This was on a Wordpress
site I was I was hosting it through a Bluehost I
believe and only pain you know it only costs a few bucks per month to host a
website. It's very cheap to host a website doesn't cost a lot of money.
Now, what I did was I simply wrote a review and I ranked for the term Rosland
capital review. Now, if you go down here you'll see that it's you know I would do
something similar to this. What does Rosland Capital offer. Who is
Rosland capital? Things I like about Rosland capital, things I don't like
about Rosland capital and this is where you start to capitalize on the the
things that make it an imperfect company. Okay, this is where your get a chance to
expand on that seed of doubt within that customers mind to recommend whatever you
are an affiliate for. Now, again my intention for this was to get more
customers for the company I'm working for to afford myself a living.
Some of you may not be okay with this sort of marketing but it is perfectly legal it
is perfectly sound by all laws and it works you may be unsure about this
marketing because you can see its effectiveness but I hope nobody here
doubts the effectiveness of the marketing I'm doing in creating
customers and in creating massive amounts of wealth for marketers.
Now, here we go and you know I put the reviews I put their ratings and all that stuff. Okay?
Ripoff reports the more information you compile the more you're helping the
world be more transparent actually, so by compiling information with reviews like
this you are not only helping the customer but you're helping yourself. Now,
I did the same thing that this affiliate does which I recommended a gold company
at the end and the company I was working with was regal assets right there and by
doing this it may seem like a crazy amount of work it may seem like it's a
lot of work to go to to make money but this is just a blog post this is this is
only about 250 or maybe 500 words to write which takes about 30
minutes to write and you said it you forget it and you can rank for it. And if
you go after targeted keywords like this, you'll have a much easier time ranking
than if you were going after terms such as gold investment. And that's how I made
money by putting my affiliate link down here and getting people who went through
my affiliate link invested millions upon millions upon millions of dollars every
year with the company I was recommending and it made me a lot of money.
