Here comes day 4 on thirty day challenge

I love thirty day challenge, it keeps following the schedule as sticky as possible. We can take a deep breath and short nap while doing the task on day 4.

Hello!

Please wake up, it’s just a short nap, okay?

The toughest parts in 30 day challenge fall in day 2 and day 3. These 2 days covered the most important factors to unleash some profitable micro niche keyword phrase.

The true story behind unlocking the profitable micro niche keyword phrase has just begun. Stay tuned!

Day 2 and 3 has just past. Here come the interesting part in Day 4…

Finding stuff to sell and test

With some of our micro niche keyword phrases, it is time to test the keyword phrase by study the market itself.

Where to look for product to test?

Just head over to amazon.com and clickbank.com, key in keyword phrases and hit “enter”

IMO, most probably we will get some results from amazon.com after key in those keyword phrases. If you type “3G iphone software”, then bunches of iphone products listing in amazon.com. Simple rite? (smile)

There are two places we can look for products to sell, amazon.com or clickbank.com. If you can’t get the products to test, then simple move to Google.com and insert keyword phrase as below to look for your niche products to sell & test.

“keyword phrase” + affiliates

“keyword phrase” + affiliate program

“keyword phrase” + associate program

Open you eyes and look for it…!

Join as an affiliates

Once we found the products for the niche, register as an affiliate member of amazon.com or clickbank.com

There is no charge for registering as an affiliate. (* affiliates get paid once the products have been sold to customer)

Writing a short ad copy (*ad = advertise)

At this stage, we need to write a short ad for our affiliate products. Let’s say the product is an ebook “learn to play piano like pro” in amazon.com, go over to the product description of this ebook, read the reviews, testimonials and so on.

Now time is writing a short ad copy. A good short ad copy is consists of 30 – 50 words. Remember, as in 30 day challenge requirement, it is between 30 – 50 words. No more that.

Generate affiliate links for amazon products

In 30 day challenge, we only need the simplest promotion tool for an affiliate, it is product link.

<a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012JCYPC?ie=UTF8&tag=jeremyblog-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0012JCYPC”>Apple iPod touch 8 GB</a>

Not recommend to use banner, image, widget and blah blah blah… (Keep those for future development, simple product link will do in 30 day challenge)

Save and edit the product’s image

Since the basic concept of 30 day challenge is not spending a single dime. Use Picnik to edit the product’s image. Yes, is PICNIK not PICNIC.

I repeat… is P…I…C…N…I…K…got it?

Picnik is free image editing software online. Take advantage on it.

If the size of product’s image is more than 150 x 150 pixel, upload the images to picnik and edit it to 150 x (any figure). Remember to check the proportions!

Conclusion for Day 4 activities:

1. Finding stuff to sell and test using amazon.com or cilckbank.com
2. Write a short ad copy for the product.
3. Create an affiliates link
4. Edit image using picnik

My own comments:

• There are literally a lot of affiliates program out there, don’t limit yourself to amazon or clickbank.
• Beside picnik, you can use other image editing software. I use Adobe Photoshop for image editing.

So, Day 4 in thirty day challenge is quite relaxed. The hardest part has past, now prepare for a smooth sailing…

The following day gonna be busy again… sign…
