Invest To Grow - We Are Recruiting A Full Time VA
It’s time to take the plunge. There are only so many hours in the day or evening! When you are building an internet business, there is only so much you can do with your time. You have to plan smart and work smart.
Our niche sites are growing and they are generating increasing revenues, some of which we invest back into the business on tools, software, ghostwriters and link building. However, we still complete a lot of the mundane tasks such as niche blog commenting, article writing (although we do have a few ghostwriters), site building etc.
We are spending more time working in the business rather than on the business.
That is why we are going to employ our own virtual assistant (VA) to take our business forward. We are investing to save time and investing to grow. We placed a post on www.odesk.com for a virtual assistant to work 20 to 30 hours per week in our business.
The successful candidate (Sunny) will work on building, growing and promoting existing and new niche sites. Initially for SEO, the successful candidate will be link building, blog commenting, providing do follow links to our sites. We will select 5 sites to test Sunny’s skills and abilities. Once we are happy with his output we will let him loose on setting up free and paid for platform sites – we will explain more about this in later posts.
How will this help?
This will free up our time to find new niches, develop new systems, build relationships and spend time growing this blog and the profit launcher brand and series of products. The next product in the series will be coming in January 2009 and will complement the EA Profit Launcher. We are very excited about this new product as we we have some top article marketers involved.
We can do this because we have put the time and effort to learn and fail fast, building from our successes and importantly growing from our failures and failures of others and investing profits. These are exciting times for us and they should be for you. And the investment in Sunny will help us grow even faster.
We will plan Sunnys tasks and monitor his output by using the mind mapping and task management software mindmeister recommended to us by Alex Jeffries. This is a superb piece of software that helps us record our ideas and tasks and manage their completion. This is extremely important to help us focus and prioritise.
We will keep you updated on ours and Sunny’s progress.

The Conduit Method By Chris Rempel
Most of you who know us understand that we have a network of content review sites across several niches. These sites are built in a very specific way to target high converting products within the niche AND niche specific keywords.
We have tweaked our sites using a mixture of ideas we have learnt and applied. Some have worked and some haven’t. One of the methods that we have incorporated that has had a serious impact on out bottom line is:
Chris Rempel’s The Conduit Method
The great thing about this method is its simplicity. The Conduit Method takes you by the hand and explains how to set-up simple content review sites that target niche specific products. It expands on the free blog method we teach in the EA Profit Launcher by showing you how to build your own sites that will generate natural search engine traffic.
If you have read the EA Profit Launcher you already know that you can achieve search engine rankings by targeting longtail product keywords. You literally grab on to the coat tails of a products popularity and traffic.
How You Use The Conduit Method:
You set up your site so that you allocate a page per product review with each page targeting longtail keywords relating to the product. Think about that for a moment. Your site could have 10 different product review pages within the same niche each targeting longtail product keywords. The result is a highly optimized niche site targeting keywords that people are searching for to ‘BUY’ products.
Not only will google love your site and rank it accordingly, but the people who find your site are highly targeted with their wallets or purse out ready to make a purchase.You just need to make sure your pages include your affiliate links!
Does the Conduit Method Work?
These are the very same methods that we are using on our affiliate reviews sites and some of these sites are making us upto $600 per site per month so we know this system works! And the good news is Chris has a writing style that is so easy to understand and follow.
If you want to take your niche marketing to the next level and start building your own virtual real estate The Conduit Method can help you do this and comes with our full recommendation.

Where It All Began
JJ and I have been seriously marketing online together for about 18 months now, some days it feels like only yesterday and somedays we feel like old pro’s.
We have decided to do a little trip down marketing lane to mainly revist and highlight our mistakes so you dont make them too! 
It will be a mini series of posts collected in the “our journey - warts and all” category and I’m sure there will be some excellent points for everyone.
We will also try to incorporate some reviews of the many ebooks and software tools we have invested in. Notice I say invested, this is because there is a learning curve you must go through with key ingredients like:
- niche selection
- keyword research
- basic html
- basic seo
If you want to make serious money in online marketing then you must take it serious, if you treat it as a hobby you can only go so far. You must be willing to invest your time and energy, there is NO magic solution! Dont let me put you off, it DOES pay off 
Our First site!
This site grew from a little test JJ performed with a couple of articles and a free blog. JJ drove traffic to a blog where he had written a review on a natural health product and to his surprise he generated a couple of sales! We wrote more articles and made more sales!
This is when we decided to build our first site! Our first site has a lot of sentimental value (yes I know its wrong), I cant tell you the number of times we said “thats it, we are not changing it any more”
Well, by my reckoning we have changed it 5 times !!!!!!!!!!!
Started in Frontpage - 5 pages
Changed to HTML
Changed again the colour , header, layout - 10 pages
Updated to CSS
Updated to PHP - now 40 pages of content
This little site now rakes in an average of $400 per month with no additional effort. OK, not earth shattering, but we can now make a site like this very quickly, promote it with our linking strategy and sit back and let the income start to roll in. Not all the sites we build are a success, but a lot are. Its a numbers game really. Once you get the hang of it, get your toes wet and learn along the way, you will find your system.
We have been distracted so many times with the latest and greatest launch but always return to this model. Our affiliate VRE Site System is now getting out of control and we are in the middle of recruiting a full time Virtual Assistant to look after our daily tasks so we can focus on new ventures. JJ will post more on the VA part later.
Hope you enjoy our mini series and don’t be afraid to ask any questions.
To your success
Jason & JJ
