By Ricky Shah Our Bestseller: WordPress Themes

With the recent outbreak of vicious Panda and Penguin update, Google has made it difficult for less experienced bloggers to survive. Google has made life miserable for newbie blogger just to favour big brand, at least this is the general consensus amongst the bloggers.Keeping aside all such belief, Wouldn’t you want to earn money from blogging with minimal effort and investment? This is where my dirty little secret will help you. The guide covers a dirty trick to develop a blog and sell it off on Flippa at a profitable price. However, many bloggers have no clue where to start or are afraid of investing money. This exclusive guide will provide all the necessary information along with estimated money you need to invest and could earn from Flippa consequently. To be on safer side, I have mentioned maximum investment and minimum earnings. As you know, the earning could greatly vary depending on the niche you are in and the number of visitors you get.

Fasten your seat belt

Before, I start narrating all the details, I advise you to fasten your seat belt since the ride will be rusty and full of excitement. The guide is carefully written so that even a newbie could understand it easily. You might want to grab a cup of coffee, tea, beer or whatever you prefer so you don’t get bored. Let me warn you in advance. You won’t be a millionaire by reading the this guide. However, you can definitely earn handsome amount to survive in the cut-throat competitive world.

Brainstorming

There is no free lunch in this world. The same applies to blogging field as well. Before you could earn any money, you need to invest some first. In a nutshell, you have to invest money for buying domains, hosting and purchasing articles (in case if you’re not comfortable writing your own). The investment could be greatly reduced if you follow the community closely and know how to leverage it.

The ideal time for starting such venture is after 2-3 months of Google PR update.

For example: Almost every other week, domain registrars offer coupon code. Instead of paying $11 for a domain, you can buy it for around $5 if you keep your eyes and ears open.

Similarly, there are several hosting providers who keep offering free hosting account giveaway. You can also search for some cheap web hosting provider or seek out some reseller in your circle to cut down the hosting cost.

To ready your blog or website, you can choose
WordPress themes from

Hint: Zymahosting is very aggressively marketing their hosting through various giveaways. Even though, You can minimize the cost by participating in such giveaways. It doesn’t cost anything, except time, to participate in the giveaways.

Now, you have to think the niche you want to target first. It is vitally important to select a less competitive niche where you can easily rank your website quickly. There are a plethora of free keyword analysis tool available out there. I suggest you to use various tools to get a better idea of the keyword. Do not just rely on Google Adwords data. After all, it displays the competition level for adwords users, not competition between websites. Just select high traffic and low competitive keyword.

Hint:
Use SEOQuake plugin and take an average PR of first 10 result on the first page. If it is anything above 3.0, skip that keyword and look for another one. If it is anything below 2.5, you have high chances of ranking well.

By now you must have started thinking that we are talking about EMD (exact match domain). Well, we’re not talking about selecting EMD domain here. The idea behind selecting low competition related keywords is to select a keyword so that it becomes tad easy to rank for. Follow the keyword research method mentioned above and find out 40-50 keywords for your campaign. Note down their exact traffic and make sure it goes beyond 30,000 visitors per month mark. Now go and buy domain with a common keyword or its variation. Make sure you do not select EMD because later it will become difficult to make it as a brand.

For example: I have found out that android music player, android media player, android video player are some of the keyword which are easy to rank for. I will choose a word that has android and a player or android and media as a common term in the domain. It is not mandatory though.

The Process

Setup a WordPress blog and install a WordPress SEO plugin by All In One SEO. Now, go ahead and schedule around 20-30 posts for over 2 month period of time. Try to be an active member of Blogengage, Blokube and other communities around you to spread the word about your new venture. Invest more time and building up a relationship with another blogger around the community and offer them a free guest post in return of a backlink. According to thumb rule, always target PR 3-4-5 blogs, so it becomes easy for you to rank your website quickly. I understand that building a repo and creating a great community is a time consuming process, but you should change your perspective and consider it as a long-lasting investment.It will be a golden goose one day.

Alternatively, you can target blogs mentioned in Myblogguest, Guestblogit and Facebook groups. They are such a great resource to create a quality links without investing much time. Social media presence also plays a vital role in your ranking and creating a brand awareness.

Hint: Target JustRetweet.com and related communities to get more retweets and Facebook like on your article. You can also set up ‘Tweet Old Post’ plugin for WordPress.

Let grow your blog for around 2 months. Now you can commence blog commenting errand. The reason why I didn’t propose blog commenting is just to gain some authority in Google’s eye. Commentluv enabled blogs are golden nuggets of the community. Go and hunt down some authority blogs with commentluv installed on their blog. Make a plan to post around 8-10 comments per day. Also make sure, you target non-commentluv blogs as well to maintain the diversity and minimize the footprints.

Sit back and relax for a while. Now go to the aforementioned groups and offer your blog for guest posting. We have completed most difficult task and now it’s a time to take back what we have given to the community. In case, if there is any Google PR update meanwhile there are every chances that you will get a good PR because of the quality guest posting you did in the past. Start accepting guest posts so your blog gets a constant supply of fresh content. Facebook groups are the ideal choice for such kind of errand. There are thousands of hungry guest bloggers out there to offer you articles of your choice. Keep an eye on the guest post to own post ratio and try to maintain it to 1:3. This will save you from Google wrath or turning your blog into spam network.

The most annoying period starts now. Wait for Google to roll out the PR update. In case, if you manage to get PR 2-3, there are very good chances that you will be able to sell off your blog on Flippa at a better price. Even, if you have managed to get around 20,000 visitors per month on your blog, you can easily sell the blog at around $500+ on Flippa.

Takeaways

40-50 keywords need to be related keywords from Google Adwordstool. You can target the profitable niche first and then look for more keywords. My blog was related to music players, not the Android music player.

Community building is a must Resource variation is always beneficial Utilize communities like JustRewteet, EasyRetweet, MyBlogGuest, GuestBlogIt, Facebook group and commentluv blog to the max to cut down the cost Instead of relying merely on Google Adwords data, try Traffic Travis, Market Samurai or other tools to get better idea of competition

Investment

Domain = $11

Hosting = $25

Articles = $2 x 40= $80

Miscellaneous= $34

Total = $150

Earning

~$500+ from Flippa.

Profit= ~$350

Well, the above figure may look small, but it could really go up if you have an ability to find out the most profitable keyword. Moreover, the above profit doesn’t include any advertisement, affiliate earning that may come in your way. In the past, I managed to get some good deal of around $200 for products review, but let’s keep it a secret. The next campaign will cost you less since you have already got a hosting account with you.

Ultimate hint: Find out someone of fiverr who is offering micro niche service. Hire him to provide some 4-5 profitable keywords. Now, based on these keywords begin your keyword hunting process. Although, this is absolutely not necessary, a beginner may get some idea of how to choose a good keyword.
