Why do gurus have to make starting an online business sound so darned hard? It’s really not difficult at all, and, in fact, it can be broken down into five steps, most of which can be done for you. Don’t believe me? Here you go:
1. Have Susanne Myers research a niche for you.
2. Have Kelly McCausey set up a blog for you.
3. Have Nicole Dean create your content for you.
4. Have Nicole & Susanne monetize your blog for you.
5. Then, promote your new blog! (You can even outsource that, too, if you’d like.)
Wow. I’ll bet that sounds expensive. Guess what? It’s actually not. I’ll break it down for you a bit further and explain each of the steps above and you’ll see just how super-simple it is for you to get a blog up and running, in a profitable niche, with content, in no time flat.
Step One: Find a Profitable Niche.
Easy. Get Respected Marketer, Susanne Myers, to research and find a profitable niche for you, including keywords and even blog post titles. She’s already done the work in advance so all you have to do is point and click and you’re ready to roll.
Each of her research packs includes the following and more:
- Detailed niche description
- List of affiliate products available
- 100 domain name ideas (plus list of modifiers for hundreds more)
- Detailed keyword report for over 1000 keywords
- 100 article and blog post ideas
- 15 different author resource boxes
Just swing by NicheResearchPacks.com to see what she’s got available.
Step Two: Get a Blog Set up for Free.
In order to have your own website or blog, you need two things:
- A domain.
- Web hosting.
The cool thing is that you can get this by signing up for our own web hosting at eXavier.com. At eXavier you can select between several blog platforms like WordPress or Lifetype.
Step two, done. You’ve got a bare-bones blog now.
Step Three: Get Content.
Here’s the next shortcut for you. Swing by EasyPLR and you can grab prewritten content for your new blog that’s copy/paste ready for you to use.
Now, the content should be reworked a bit by you so that it’s different and unique.
Here’s a video to help explain more:

Step Four: Monetize Your Blog.
This is another step where people tend to get stuck. But, guess what? Nicole and Susanne have already done the work for you here, too.
With every niche pack from Susanne’s site, you’ll receive recommendations for affiliate programs that tie into the topic. And, with every pack of PLR articles that you purchase from EasyPLR, you’ll also get affiliate recommendations.
So, sign up for some of the affiliate programs that Nicole & Susanne recommend if they appeal to you and add some promos to your blog.
You’ll want to incorporate recommendations inside your blog posts eventually, and perhaps do reviews and interviews with the product owners down the road, but for now, you’re up and running. Don’t get hung up on this. You can always tweak it later.
Step Five: Promote your new Blog.
Here’s where the rubber meets the road. It’s time to promote your new blog. To me, this is the fun part, but I know it’s where a lot of people panic.
Here are five quick and easy ways to promote your new blog.
1. Add your blog link to the bottom of your forum/message board posts. (See? That wasn’t so scary.)
2. Leave comments on popular, related blogs in your niche. Here’s a list of 20 Internet Marketing blogs if that’s your niche: www.nicoleonthenet.com/3842/list-of-internet-marketing-blogs-to-comment-on-for-traffic/
3. Post on Twitter whenever you write a new blog post.
4. Guest blog on other blogs for exposure.
5. Create some videos and post them on YouTube with a link back to your new blog.

Of course these five steps are basic and I could certainly dig in further, but, I promised you that this would be super-simple so that’s it. Now go do it!
