How My 6 Year Old Son Started An Internet Business By Mistake!

It’s strange but true and this shows how SIMPLE an internet business can be.

My 6 year old boy’s crazy about Ben 10 (well he has moved on now to something called “Bakugan” but that’s another story for another day) and so I created a very simple wordpress blog for him and his brother being the good dad that I am :-)

You can see their blog at http://www.ClaydenAndCoen.com

Anyway, he started posting just titles and pictures of his favourite Ben 10 toys on the blog as and when he likes to.

Now here’s the kicker, the blog had absolutely:

- NO content whatsoever
- NO widgets
- NO keyword research
- NO promotion
- NO backlinks
- NO articles
- Nothing!

It had nothing except for titles and pictures.

We don’t even go to the blog except once in a few months.

Guess what, I recently went to have a look and was flabbergasted that the blog was getting over 3,000+ unique visitors per month!

See proof:

There were also 32 pages indexed by Google:

Here’s the SECRET which I think got the traffic…

Listen up…

It’s a real secret :-)

Look at this screenshot and you’ll see:

#1 out of 944,000 competitors in Google images for a keyword with over 90,000 searches per month

It even outranks giant websites and businesses like Flickr and Alibaba!

Now here’s the important thing from this case study:

Rethink how you can rank on the search engines with images.

Remember, we did absolutely NOTHING except post photos which were found for FREE on the internet.

However, I believe that the postings of relevant pictures and keyword titles may play a part.

But I’m STILL flabbergasted that it can be so easy to get traffic and a business going online.

What do you think about this?

Also, the comments from visitors are hilarious, I mean read this:

People were ASKING to buy stuff from my 6 year old!

Now, what if we build a little business off this?

Here are some ideas of what we can do:

- Build a list of responsive kids and parents
- Make money with affiliate programs like eBay, Amazon and Adsense
- Create an info product around Ben 10
- Set up an eBay store and auction off his toys (there are TOO many of them!)
- Set up a Yahoo! Store and get stocks using the wholesale/dropship model
- Flip the blog for a nice profit by selling it
- Actually do something to promote the blog!

This shows just how SIMPLE setting up an internet business can be…

You’ve just got to stick to the basics and grow from there.

I mean, if a 6 year old can do it, anyone can do it!

You can literally do this for ANY niche and make almost guaranteed income.

Here’s an easy to do step-by-step plan just for you:

Step 1: Find a market on Amazon.com or Clickbank.com
Step 2: Research some long-tail keywords
Step 3: Find relevant images or photos on Google images
Step 4: Find relevant affiliate products (Ebay, Amazon, Clickbank, Adsense)
Step 5: Start a blog (just a simple one, no fluff needed, Blogger or Wordpress will be fine)
Step 6: Post your photos with keyword-rich titles and tags and add your affiliate links
Step 7: Promote the blog with articles, forums, social bookmarking to create relevant backlinks
Step 8: Post new photos every week

That’s it! You should be getting targeted traffic automatically and making real money online for FREE.

You could definitely refine and systemize the above plan. Or outsource to some college kids and
build an entire money-making niche empire without spending a cent.

I suggest you go try this and POST YOUR RESULTS HERE.

Man, I should have charged for this information :p

Your comments and ideas to brainstorm further are appreciated…

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

How To Make Money On The Internet?

Hey guys,

Do you want to learn how to make money on the internet? If so, then here’s the place to be.

Making real money online is not a dream, it’s a BUSINESS.

And with any worthwhile business, it requires you to invest time, effort or money (or all 3!)

Internet marketing is not an ‘overnight riches’ model, although some people would beg to differ.

You CAN make money fast on the internet, however you need these 3 basic factors in place:

1. Knowing what you want to do (markets, model, products etc.)

2. Creating your own simple plan based upon point 1 (to guide and motivate yourself)

3. Having and applying a systematic process to execute point 2 (focus is crucial here)

I’ve decided to start a new blog here just for you, and it’s solely dedicated to helping you make real money from the internet (if you haven’t yet).

With this, I hope to achieve these objectives:

- Provide free internet business training to people who needs it

- Provide real content and information to make you make more money online

- Recommend tested and proven internet marketing solutions/strategies

Anyway, the beginning step to any successful business is to first acquire the basic skills to start and run the business. It’s only logical.

Let me give you a hint: Most stuff you need to learn from can be found by doing a simple Google search.

For example, you can type in a key phrase like “internet business tutorials” and get all sort of information for free!

However I want to provide you with some cool internet business videos as well – yes I’m a nice guy :-)

Enough talk, here are your videos:

“Affiliate Marketing Basics” video training:

Watch video #1 | Download

Watch video #2 | Download

Watch video #3 | Download

“Article Marketing For Newbies” video training:

Watch video | Download

(To view these videos, you need Flash Player installed. Get it free here.)

These videos should be enough for now.

I plan to add in a lot more stuff for you regularly. These will include important information and tutorials to bank you a fortune online.

I’ll often be sharing my own personal marketing strategies here too.

So whether you’re a beginner or advanced marketer, it’ll help to come back here often.

Ok, signing off for now…

Have a great day!

Ewen
