Casino Review site now added to my portfolio
In a quest to expand my real estate online, I have registered the domain - www.hotonlinecasinos.info
Domains with the extension .info at GoDaddy are extremely cheap and using free online coupons (just search for Godaddy Coupons in Google) you get a nice little discount too.
I will now start writing up reviews for the 10 major online casinos and use affiliate links to refer traffic to their websites. Once my website is live, it will require some ongoing marketing and I will need to start targeting specific keywords and undertake a link building program to push the new site up the Google rankings.
One of the most important ingredients of basic SEO is your actual domain name. By picking a domain with 'online casinos' in the title - any keyword in Google with Online Casinos in the title will allow me a slight advantage over other sites that might only have 'Gambling or Review' in their domain titles.
My blog roll and online real estate patch is growing nicely, and my AdSense earnings are now getting close to $10 US per day which is a nice reward and very motivating. My portfolio now includes the following blogs and websites:
Sports Football (NRL News - is my flagship site covering the winter sport of Rugby League)
Self Help World (A blogger site where I post a combination of Videos and Text occasionally)
DOTA Tips (A blog where the popular Warcraft 3 game is discussed, getting 1.2k hits per day)
Best Backlinks (My recent experiment / a free link directory, hoping for bigger things)
World of Warcraft (My WoW site, which needs cleaning up - a little too ad based at present)
Sonny Bill Williams (The most popular Rugby League sports star within the NRL)
Cell and Mobile Phones (A work in progress, this blog gets semi-decent traffic and 4% CTR)
These are my main earners at present, while some need some cleaning up - they are each doing their little bit. The addition of the casino reviews website, along with some other niche sites - probably in the area of music, cricket and film are next on my list.
My goal is to get my network of sites pushing that $100 per day barrier.
Now, back to work ....
Lets talk finance in 2008.... again!
I have re-categorized this post due to an initial misplacement -
Regardless of which part of the world you are in now, the walls of the financial community are shaking. Share markets are dipping, housing markets and stagnant or falling and the outlook isn't too good in the short to mid term. Best suggestion is to throw your cash under the mattress for now.
Well that is unless you have some major nerves of steel and are ready to snap up some bargains. In the USA, interest rates are being sliced to generate some growth. That means an ideal time to grab those loans and try and drum up some investments through the fire sales that are happening all over the place. I personally prefer the housing market to shares, but hey - if you get in while things are at rock bottom, some good bargains could be had.
So start to compare credit cards, make sure you are on the best rate and then swoop in for the kill in other areas too. Secured loans might be a little bit scary, as that involves a little more risk - however if you look back over history, investments for the long term generally prove rewarding and if you have access to the capital to start building you empire.. who knows, you could be the next Donald Trump.
So be cautious, but don't be put off by the doom and gloom and inflationary expectations. Get into the fray and make the deals.
Starting a Casino Review Website
One of the things I have been wanting to do for a while is start a Casino Review website. For those that don't know, Online Casinos offer good affiliate programs for webmasters to send traffic their way.
Paying decent PPC rates and offering good bonuses when the traffic signs up, smart operators have now developed large scale websites purely targeting online casino reviews and the chance to get large scale referrals and of course juicy bonuses and payouts.
I have been doing some review writing for one of the major players in this market. I don't want to quote their name here for fear of losing my paid review role, but needless to say - they have a massive bankroll to spend on improving their review site in terms of SEO, exposure, amount of casinos on their books and of course the reviews themselves.
Through my paid review role, I have got a good look at what they are targetting in terms of keywords and what the future may hold. So with this in mind, I will look to kick off something similar very soon.
Stay tuned for more info once I get the domain registered and site up and I will be tracking and reporting on my earnings once it gets going.
Nursing Skills save lives
We had a bit of a situation earlier this week. One of our friends fell quite ill, very suddenly while we were at the beach. A lady in her late 50's, she was quickly dizzy and soon lost her balance. As we lay around on the beach, suddenly panic set in.
You think in those situations you have enough common sense to assist and aid the person in trouble, but it all happened so fast - yet when she was violently ill, we all felt helpless. A health lady, it may have been the sun that got to her. It's been quite hot here and the direct exposure to the sunlight may have caused her to fall ill.
Nevertheless, if we didn't have an off duty nurse nearby, then we truly might have been in more danger than we realized.
Such an undervalued profession, certainly in our part of the world - we don't have near enough nurses. Many nurses are leaving the profession and that is a sad shame. With the help of a nurse, we were able to quickly get our friend back to relative health and get her to hospital in much better shape than first thought.
It's for this reason I encouraged my younger cousin and her friends to get involved with nursing and look at it as a potential profession. Well respected and well paid, it is a job that would be satisfying no doubt - when you're helping people daily, and sometimes saving lives. Positions such as a Licensed Vocational Nurse who have undertaken LVN programs - truly have chosen a rewarding and special career.
Even Online there is plenty of information and access to things such as a Vocational Nursing Program or a similar study course that could get you into such a field. I certainly hope my cousin chooses such an option.
If you're looking to select a career that really gives back to the community and rewards you regularly - the please, investigate the profession of nursing and make a difference every day.
Frank Kerns Mass Control
Anyone around the internet marketing niche would have heard of Frank Kern's Mass Control system by now. Recently promoted and released to the public, Kern's training program aims to give budding internet marketers an advantage an insight how to sell a product in large volume.
I am always interested in seeing what the respected internet marketers have to offer and even with Kern's early promotional videos - some of the content I found quite valuable. Even some of the simple tips, (sometimes overlooked by all of us) were ideal in the area of list building, picking the right niche and ensuring that targeted customers are in a 'buy cycle'.
After following things up to the official release, I decided I would sign up for Kern's training program and try take my other ventures to the next level. As most IM's promise, the program would be closed after a certain amount of sign ups were accepted. This is usually hype and mega promotion but I was surprised to see the 'House Closed' sign up at the Mass Control website shortly after arriving.
So it seems Kern is staying true to his word and I now have to rely on blog entries and periodic free content releases. It's well worth checking out - visit www.masscontrol.com and see what you think. As I said, even the free content has value so you are sure to come away with something useful.
Recovering from the dead, finally!
A few days back, I really couldn't muster enough energy to do anything. I rarely get sick, but when I do - it seems to hit hard. But, the best way to bounce back is to get outdoors and start enjoying the sun.
This little part of New Zealand we are in called Nelson, has a huge amount of sunshine hours and the weather is generally perfect. Surrounded by mountains and great views - I got outside and let my little daughter cheer me up. Chelsea is around 1 and half years old now and starting to get very active and interested in everything!
She just loves paddling in her little pool and getting down to the beach when we can.
Here's a quick picture my wife took of me and Chelsea (above) with my aging Kodak Z700 4 megapixel camera. The camera is a little old now but is still able to take some good shots in the various modes.
In other news my AdSense earnings are consistently above $5 dollars a day now, which has been encouraging - as I continue to add new blogs, with new varied niche topics and good regularly content, the stream of hits is adding to daily revenue!
