My Schedule… Monday

Today I am going to start a series on the details for the items I work on everyday of the work week. I am going to go through this starting with Monday going through to Friday with each day being at least one separate post. My goal is to make this series very informative and helpful for your business! If you have any questions/comments along the way, please don’t hesitate to leave comments on any of the posts!

Mondays are my one big “creation” day. Sure, I “create” articles on Tuesdays, but that isn’t completely creation in my mind… we’ll get into details about this with my Tuesday post :) For now, just keep in mind that I am in creation mode on Mondays. I spend my time creating a new site and then I also submit my site from the previous week to a service called 3waylinks.

The first thing I do is, I go to Clickbank and choose my product. Then I create my video for my new Video Cash Explosion site. My last step for this is to create my site, including completing keyword research and uploading the site using the Push Button Video Cash software.

Shameless Plug:
For anyone looking for a system to teach them how to make money online (the system I am currently using myself), with my Video Cash Explosion system, I go into detail on how to choose a Clickbank product to promote and exactly how to create the video, including templates for you to use. Then I walk you through how to create the site, using the Push Buttong Video Cash software. This software means that you don’t need any previous knowledge on how to create a site, on how to properly complete keyword research or on how to upload your completed site… the software does this for you! And then the final 3 videos for the system show you how to begin your promotional methods to get your site(s) listed in the search engines.
End Shameless Plug

My next step for Mondays is to submit the site I completed the previous week to the 3waylinks network. There are two things I want to mention up front regarding this service:

  1. When I first started these sites, I used the free methods for promotion that I teach in the Video Cash Explosion system. But as I started making money and to free up some of my time, I started utilizing some paid services to help me achieve results faster and with less work time on my part. 3waylinks is hands down the most important promotional method I use for promoting my sites.
  2. 3waylinks is a link building service that replaces manually going out and finding link partners because everything is automatic and it also means that you will not have reciprocal links (which the search engines don’t like as well) with other sites but instead will have links that are completed 3 ways, therefore making them seem more like one-way links (the best kind to have).

So, the reason I wait a week to submit a new site to 3waylinks is because you must have 2 pages indexed within Google before your site will be accepted within the 3waylinks network.  By waiting a week, you have given yourself time for the Google “spiders” to come crawl your website and index the homepage and also the privacy and/or disclaimer pages. Therefore you now have the 2 needed pages indexed in order for the site to be placed within the network.

Aside from the things I listed above (3-way link vs. reciprocal link), I also love using this system because of how it automates the entire link building process. You have to complete about 10 minutes worth of work to submit the site within the 3way links network (they give full training on how to do this), but once accepted, everything is done for you. It is a set it and forget it system that frees up a lot of time for you. What takes you 10 minutes to complete with 3waylinks, would take you probably a minimum of 15 - 20 hours of work manually. So this comes down to what you have more of… time or money. The manual method works as long as you work it, but yes, 3waylinks makes it easier and better.

That is my Monday. Create a site, submit last week’s site to 3waylinks. This takes me an average of 3 - 3 1/2 hours to complete. I am going to be closely monitoring the site I completed this week and use it as a case study to show you guys how the site progresses so you have a good idea on what it takes to get a site profitable :)

Again, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to submit a comment on this post. Next time we’ll talk about what I do on Tuesdays :)

Best Wishes,
Shannon

P.S.  I’m sorry about the long post and in the future I may separate this into two posts rather than just one if you feel this was too much for one post… please let me know your thoughts.

Hi Shannon

Great post! very detailed, I don’t think the length of post is important, the main thing for me is the quality of the information, and your information quality is first rate, I look forward to more posts from you regarding VCE.

Mike.

Steve Says:

(The website listed is just one I have)

I appreciate this post so much. It’s giving me good ideas. I have a question: Do you use PPC to promote your Video Cash Explosion sites? Or do you use just free traffic and rely on your SEO and links?

karen Says:

Hi Shannon,

I have a lot of respect for you and VCE. I got stuck
on the power point and camtasia. I am ready now to get
started but I am not sure about the technical aspects of
doing the video/power point.

Will this work on a site we own? Like I have an ebook about horse blanket repair. would it be better to scrap the website and just do the VCE?

thanks for your help.
Karen

slueck Says:

Hi Karen,

You could do a couple of different things…

1. You could complete a VCE style site that then links to your current horse blanket site. So this would be 2 sites that you would have.

2. You could add a video, explaining the details on your page and encouraging them to read further. This would be like the video I have at the top of my VCE salespage: http://www.videocashexplosion.com

The video will be slightly different depending on which route you choose to go with. I think I personally would choose #2.

I hope this helps Karen!

Best Wishes,
Shannon

slueck Says:

Thanks Mike… I’m glad you like it!

Steve, I do not use any PPC methods myself. This isn’t because I don’t believe they can work, because I know some people that are very successful with it. I just haven’t ever studied it enough to feel comfortable with utilizing it. So, I rely on free search engine traffic and articles, stuff like that.

Best Wishes,
Shannon

John Says:

Great stuff Shannon…thank you. Correct me if I’m mistaken but I thought you were going to detail the manual way of doing you’re daily activities. While the ideal way is to use 3waylinks how can someone accomplish the same thing doing it manually?

Thanks!
John

Steve Says:

On your Video Cash Explosion, where would you suggest an opt-in go, or can you have one?

slueck Says:

Hi John,

Great question… I didn’t think to teach the manual method since that isn’t what I am using now. I’m sorry, should have thought about that!!!

I will complete another post to address the manual method John!

Best Wishes,
Shannon

slueck Says:

Hi Steve,

If you have VCE, you simply enter your opt-in code on Step 4 in the Push Button Video Cash software. Then it automatically enters it onto your page :)

Best Wishes,
Shannon

John Says:

Thanks Shannon…you rock!

Jerry Ryan Says:

Hi Shannon, thanks so much for deciding to post your daily schedule. I’m really looking forward to learning how you drive traffic (the key to making any website profitable.) Paid methods or free methods - I don’t really care - I just want to know what’s working for you.
Don’t worry about the length of the posts, the longer the better :-)

My question would be this. On average, how long does it take from creating a new website to making the first affiliate sale?
And assuming a goal of $500/month/site how long, on average, to reach that level?

Thanks again
Jerry

slueck Says:

Hi Jerry,

That is a tough one to answer… it varies on every site for many reasons, but typically I can start making random sales within 14 days. Because I only use SEO methods, rather than PPC methods, it takes between 6 - 8 weeks (depending on the market, sometimes longer) to start generating a consistent income from top search engine placement.

I will be updating everyone with statistics from the site I completed this Monday… using it as a case study to give people general stats over the next couple of months. So, that should help you as well :)

Best Wishes,
Shannon

Thanks Shannon, I’m very grateful all the information you share here.

And thanks for the advice.

Charlotte Says:

This is a great post Shannon. Just what I need. The “minute by minute” walk through of the routines,
so I know what to focus on on a daily basis.
It is so easy to overcomplicate things and getting overwhelmed.
Keep it coming.

The good thing of the “creation phase” is that you can do all the work only once without having to change something in the future. It is better to expand the website with more content, try different additional marketing techniques like one time offers, email list building but is not necessary.

Dont feel sorry about the (long) post Shannon!
This what not a long post for me. When you like a blog and the content, a post is never long. Actually I am *mad* for not posting the complete weekend! :P
