I think Andrew is the "real deal". I would recommend it highly to anyone interested in affiliate marketing. However, you can expect to spend about a full work week going through all the material. So if you are looking for a short cut, this isn't it. I purchased this program and it was fantastic, especially for the money. I think Andrew is the “real deal”.

I really admire the guy's work ethic, but part of succeeding online is working smart in addition to working hard!

Considering I'm a newb to the whole thing. But it's fairly obvious Reb is right. Anything is going to have best practices and ways to get optimal benefits out of. It does get confusing though ... With 9 billion different avenues open online to marketing. micro blogging, articles this, podcasting blahblahblah. etc times 2,000. Everyday I learn more though ... Even if my eyes cross everyday too. :D Don't blame Reb for not just giving all her secrets away. Would be a pretty foolish thing to do. Just my opinion, but those are ridiculous numbers and CTR's. She must be doing something right ... yikes !!! I’m just exploring the subject. Considering I’m a newb to the whole thing. But it’s fairly obvious Reb is right.

Firepow will help create your blogs from scratch. WP Robot is a good autoposting plugin that will add content to your site (Firepow also does this, but I prefer the functionality of WP Robot). But keep in mind that you'll still need to edit/create original content on the blogs as well, if you really want to pick up search engine traffic.

These are small sites, some only one or two pages for now. Thanks for taking an interest and I will write another post once the ball is rolling faster on this in terms of traffic and earnings.

]]> Comment on Niche Blogging Institute Review by Rebecca http://wpnichemarketing.com/blog/niche-blogging-institute-review/comment-page-1#comment-265 Rebecca Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:47:31 +0000 http://wpnichemarketing.com/blog/?p=189#comment-265 Firstly, I want to thank you for such an in depth review and opinion of NBI, I enjoyed reading it! I did recommend NBI when it first came out as I thought it looked like a good, comprehensive learning experience for people who wanted to find all the information in one place. I still think that, although I haven't logged in for some time myself, and granted, have not used the customer support so I was interested to read what you had to say about that. There is no "do this, do that and you'll make money". There just isn't and there never will be. You're spot on - it can all be found for free on the web if people can be bothered searching for learning - some can, some can't. It is disappointing to hear about your experience with NBI, but I wouldn't dwell on it too much. You can DEFINITELY be successful without using any programs or memberships. They aren't for everyone Web hosting is such a saturated, highly competitive niche. I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point if you're looking for quick results, simply due to the sheer amount of competition. You are right, it's not a niche, it's a full blown market and one of the toughest to crack into. I recommend working on your web hosting blog for the long term, but also creating smaller, real niche sites, that will have more of a chance of faster traffic generation due to less competition.

I have always been fascinated by people that work smarter not harder and niche blogging seems to be a great way to use critical and imaginative thinking to make money. The bad part is that for newbies that know nothing about blogging, wordpress, keyword research etc, there is so much scam, misinformation out there that it is totally frustrating and almost impossible to feel like spending money on training is really worth it. So I gave "niche blogging institute" a try. There really is tons of great information on their site, so much in fact that it is really overwhelming because there is tons of training but no real step by step guide of how to implement it. I mean there is some info about how to install wordpress, how to use cpanel, how to use clickbank etc. but there is nothing re-assuring on the site, nothing that says "hey this is how its done" and if you are paying money it should. Moving on, the customer support is really bad, many times I would submit a ticket and get an answer back that made no sense at all and I would have to reply to that email and ask them "why did you say this when it has nothing to do with my question" etc. I also payed $67 to have them "fast track" me a blog of my own which you can find at www.topwebsitehostreviews.com , the blog is decent enough but the main complaint is that they took about 5 days telling me that they were researching me a "niche" , how on earth in web host reviews a "niche" , there are already 1000's upon 1000's of sites out there reviewing every possible angle of web hosting. Another issue is that Andere Hansen himself on one of the confirmation pages gives you his personal email to ask him questions about anything you cant get answered on the website via support forums etc. I was really interested in his keyword research technique, once I thought I had really figured it out I sent numerous emails to him to try to ask him if my formula was correct but I never heard back, I would also post my questions about the keyword research techniques in the forums but never got any response. I honestly think that I figured out his keyword technique a little to quickly and they didn't want to just give away such a big chunk to info to me while I was still in my trial period. Another issue that concerned me when I signed up was that there is a "facebook" like feel to the site (that is cool and useful) with tons of member listings and what level the user is at in the program, but when you try to contact the users non of them are still active, some people choose to have their email displayed and when I emailed them directly they all said the same thing, NBI is great for newbies but overall everything in there can be found for free on the web. Also it really concerned me that they kept all these profiles listed as active members when in actuality very few of the active profiles were still customers of NBI. One guy I chatted with had be using the system for a while and said he liked it because it was insightful but overall the system is not necessary to create a successful blog. Back to support issues, I was getting close to the 30 day mark and I submitted a support ticket to ask "because there is no clear cut way presented on the website, I would like to know what are the steps needed to take to cancel an account with NBI, should I decide within the trial period that I want to cancel my account" , the response I got was this " we are sorry you were not happy with NBI, your account has been terminated and your money refunded" - all I asked was what steps needed to be taken, not to cancel my account, I really didn't want to cancel it but it just showed again how unorganized the team at nbi is behind the scenes, The last thing that I had issues with was the person that was assigned to work with me to set up my blog, I would ask very basic questions via email and get really asinine responses to the questions I had about where we were in the setup process, keyword research etc. Also it was such a bummer that once my blog was set up it just basically felt like a sale pitch. I was sent an email that said something to the effect of " your new blog is active, now start making money and get signed up with firepow" the big pitch early on is how they are going to create you a great "niche" blog , if a blog is so much of a "niche" then why would I need additional paid services to generate content for it, shouldn't a niche blog be relatively successful with minimal basic content? Anyway I must say that once inside of nicheblogginginstitute.com there is tons of interesting info, lots of cool videos that show and explain how to get from A to B in certain process, how to find affiliate deals but overall I just felt let down, I was really ready to get going and they kind of limit you to the amount of material you can access. I dont recommend this program for someone that actually has more than 1 hour a day to work on a blog, I work in a restaurant and surf, so I have many hours a day and that's what I was looking for, something I could dive into and digest and get going with but this system seemed slow and more geared toward a person that has a day job and needs a slower pace to get things going. Overall NBI is Worth a shot though cause they have a money back guarantee so if you are not happy or they think you are not happy they will just cancel your account and refund your money.
