What if I told you that you could easily be making $100s every day, while at the same time boosting your number of backlinks and increasing your Google search ranking positions… sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? I’ve found the way, and this is a true tested method for making it big. Normally, people will horde this secret and make you pay for the information… here we are a bit more open with each other.

We all know how rewarding affiliate marketing tactics can potentially be by now, and I’ve found one heck of a deal that I feel like we can all exploit till they take the offer away. For now, get in while the getting’s good! If you do the following, I can guarantee that you will make at least $50. Period.

The Idea is Formed… The Stage is Set

Once you start thinking like a marketer, ideas like these simply come to you. I’m not saying that I am smarter than your average bear… I just know how to think “greedy.” Well let’s cut to the chase, shall we? It looks like our friends over at Text-Link-Ads released a new advertising platform… and once again over-emphasized the affiliate system for us. How nice of them!

Last time it was with their text-link-ads network, this time it is with the release of InLinks.com. This site is a great idea. This “new” form of advertising allows you to buy up ad slots in the form of text links hidden within actual blog posts. For example, I can pay $15 bucks for a link with the anchor “peanut butter” on a PageRank 3 blog… and it will go put the order in, making the text on a matching blog a link that is built to my specifications.

What initially jumped out at me here is that you get a GUARANTEED $25 for anyone that signs up as an advertiser under you. That’s right… cha-ching! Not only that, but they have an awesome promotion that lets you purchase, as an advertiser, $100 worth in ads for just $1 using the coupon “100free.” So getting people to join is the easiest thing you’ve ever done… it’s a no-brainer! They try to make it a bit harder on you, but it’s nothing we can’t handle… let’s do this step by step.

Step-By-Step Path to Instant Riches

1. Signing Up As An Advertiser
If you are going to join up with the InLinks.com network, why not take advantage of their incredible $100 for $1 deal, eh? Heck, if you need a buck I’ll even PayPal you $1 just because this is so irresistible. Because you need a publisher or advertiser account anyway… let’s set up an advertiser account so we can boost our own ranks while making money. If this isn’t a win-win, I don’t know what is.

Now enter your information for security purposes (you won’t get mailed):

Now just submit your application and confirm that the email you signed up with is yours… and you are ready to go!

2. Buying Up Some “InLinks Futures”
I actually really like the idea behind InLinks.com, and it looks like something that will evade Google for quite some time. Heck, I might even sign up as a publisher later to make some more money. Until then, let’s order some “InLinks.com Futures.” Futures are essentially where you enter a keyword phrase, and as soon as a client publishes a blog post with that term in it, you get the purchase and the text becomes your link!

Assuming you want to get $100 for $1 using the code “100free,” which is what I did, I like to just buy what they call “package 1.” Click the check-box next to that and hit the refresh button to get your link entry fields to appear for your order. Simply put in the keyword phrases you want marketed, a link you want them directed to, and you are good to go!

I feel like this offer is beneficial to new bloggers, and even popular bloggers. Links are links… and when you can nab quality for $1, you take it. Bottom Line.

3. Get Your Affiliate Account Set Up
Assuming you already signed up as an advertisers… you actually have the capabilities to act as an affiliate already as a default! Simply click over to the “Affiliate” tab on the top of your screen, and you will get into the system that generates an extremely well-cloaked version of your affiliate link. What InLinks.com DOESN’T want people doing is getting their referral link out without putting their image out there too. Forget that! Not everyone can spare the ad space, and I’d rather just have a link to give to people any day… right?

What InLinks.com gives you is a javascript code that has one function to encrypt your link, and another to decrypt it once it is on your blog or website. We can get around this simply by copying their code and making our own executable file. Confused? Don’t be.

How-To: Open up “Notepad” on your computer (or another text-editor where you can save as any file type). Paste all of the code in the file and save it as “whatever.php”. Upload the new file somewhere to your server, and hop to that web address in your web browser. Your referral link should be in plain view! I like using the “text link” option instead of the banner for practical reasons.

Alternative: If you don’t want to mess with that, you could also simply upload it like they want you to and copy the actual referral link down when you click on your ad for InLinks.com. You’ll get a code like this: “http://www.inlinks.com/?ref=XXXXXX”

4. Start Marketing Your InLinks Program!
Now that you have your account, you have ads ready to go for more exposure and you have your real referral link to pass around… it’s time to put your best marketing skills to use and make money! I would suggest pushing the program on your blog along with the coupon code I suggested above simply because it is so easy to do. Nobody is going to (or should) pass up that opportunity, and you will make an instant $25 for everyone that takes your advice.

This method is something that I have developed independently, and I feel can be wildly successful. Remember, just as Text-Link-Ads took away their affiliate system, InLinks.com can do the same thing. Because of this, you should jump on the opportunity as it exists! If you liked this article, give me some props by subscribing to my blog, Digging the post or Stumbling the post.

A few days ago, I wrote part 3 of my series about optimizing keywords for Google search engine rankings. Now that we are into the marketing portion of that lesson, it’s important to learn the most effective means to get the word out about your blog, or to market your keyword phrase.

I originally listed “guest posts” as one of the best ways to start your “friendly” marketing campaign… essentially the opposite of what is referred to as “bum” marketing. As this original thesis holds true, I have found that if you are working on a low budget (as most upstart bloggers are), you need a way to get the maximum amount of traffic and link juice pointed toward your blog, with as little cash flow involved. The solution is guest posts… so let’s give you the Net Fool’s Marketing Method!

Understanding the Costs

Let’s have a look at some of the standard costs of marketing. Usually, big corporations and partnerships have no problem opening up their wallet for some high-quality traditional advertising. Banner ads, text link ads, paid reviews and full out partnerships. However, if you are just working on your own and don’t really have the capital to spend across the competitive landscape… I would recommend that you try to focus more on the cheaper alternatives.

The funny thing here is that free advertising can be just as effective as paid advertising. Let’s focus on guest posts v. paid reviews today. If you pay a blogger to do a review, it is going to cost upwards of $100 for a quality website… sometimes more like $500. This is a hefty price tag for 24 hours of spotlight, isn’t it? What’s more is the in today’s world, people like to look past paid reviews and consider them misleading right off the bat! On the other hand, you could write a guest post for a blogger to fill in for them on a day they don’t want to write for FREE. You may not get the same level of exposure, but you’ll get yourself a link in the first paragraph pointing back to your website (and boosting your SEO) that can drive some serious traffic and subscribers your way. Sounds good right?

Capitalizing on the Marketing Spread

If you are anything like me, you won’t want to be sitting in your room all day writing out 500+ word articles just to be able to submit them to other websites for a guest post. This is something you could do once or twice, and you will probably never want to do again. So what I do is hire writers for me to do all the writing at around $3-$5 a pop. Well right now you might be thinking hey, I have no budget… how can I afford to pay someone else to do something that I could do myself!?

Over the past year, I have learned a lot about the true value of time. In the earlier stages of my blogging, I would attempt to do everything myself because I felt that if I could handle something, why would I pay another to do it? The problem with this is that some things just aren’t worth your time… and often writing articles can be that activity. You might be spending more, but you can also make more with your time!

With this in mind, would you rather pay $150 for a review on a high-quality blog, or $3 for a pre-written outsourced post that you re-format with your link in it and submit as a guest post for free? That’s pretty much the same exposure for $147 less! Multiplying this out, you could potentially just use a $150 advertising budget and use it all on guest posts… so you could get effective links placed on 50 blogs for the price of one!

Getting Your Game-Plan In Motion

So now that we understand how much cheaper guest posts are than paid reviews, let’s work on the exact method in what we are going to do here. Again, we are going to seek out a whole bunch of high-quality blogs that are located in our niche that we can potentially guest post on. Most bloggers are friendly and looking for filler, so this really isn’t as difficult as it sounds.

Once we have a list of bloggers that we think we can guest post on, we should get our articles together, eh? No blogger ever really reveals their best writers, and I don’t have a “go to” writer per se. However, you can find writers that put out excellent original content for $3-$5 per 500 words on the DigitalPoint Webmaster Forums. It’s pretty easy to find good people on that forum, so that’s where I would go for the best bang for your buck.

The key to successful guest posting is having high-quality, well-researched content that is 100% original and flows nicely. Lists of “top five” (or similar) are the norm for guest posts, as they keep things orderly and very social media friendly. I typically pay $3 an article with my articles, so this is your low-cost solution!

Once you have your articles, getting free advertising is as simple as re-writing a top section on each article that you get outsourced with a link back to your website. If you are targeting a keyword in Google, you can even link that term up as anchor text and you are on your way. Contact the bloggers you were interested in guest posting for… and send them your articles.

Remember: Never send the same article twice, we want to send everyone a unique article!

Bottom Line: This is an insanely profitable and low-cost marketing solution “for the rest of us.” By marketing the Net Fool way, you get insane cost savings every time! You can use this for as many or as few articles that you want… the choice is yours! Guest posts are perhaps the most effective marketing strategies that I have come across, and I fully encourage you to do the same.
