make money on facebook

Product: Facebook Payday
Creator: Peter Koning
Website: http://www.facebookpayday.com
Purpose: This product is intended to show you how to make money on facebook using a simple system that takes minimal time to implement.
Price: $77.00*
Reviewed by: Shane Higginbottom

* As an added bonus Peter has created the Facebook Payday Action Worksheet System. This is a powerful tool to help you make money using Facebook. Combined with the 101 page manual, facebook tutorials, you’ll find everything you need to learn how to make money with facebook. A “quick start” your way to success. By itself, the Action Plan could be sold for $47, but you get it free when you order Facebook Payday today!.

Peter created this product with the intentions of making sure that anyone who bought it would be able to go from opening their first facebook account to understanding how to market yours or another product product on facebook, making money using affiliate marketingon facebook. Establishing your self on facebook and most of all using facebook to make money.

I’ll tell you, as a facebooker myself , there are many ways to get overwhelmed when it comes to trying to decipher all of the facebook ins and outs that comes with the facebook territory. Simple things to experienced facebook Marketers can be a headache to the newbies. Things like using your inbox, the walls, facebook pages,facebook adds and more, can all seem like a foreign language to someone wanting to make money with facebook for the first time.

Peter Koning stepped up and has offered a product designed to help people new to using facebook to make money get over the beginner curve quickly. His product is the best I’ve tested so far when it comes to guiding beginner to intermediate facebook marketers down the path of making money on facebook.

Who Is It For?

This product is easy to follow, and you can use it regardless of your facebook skill level. Peter has some pretty heavy interviews with some people who are making money on facebook, 8 of them actually, so you’ll need to listen closely, and take notes These mp3’s are just awesome!!.

The facebook Payday System was created for the beginner, but I would recommend it for the intermediate to advance facebook marketer too - you will stumble across a few gold nugget ideas that you didn’t know before, even if you are familiar with Facebook. Advanced facebook Marketers will probably find much of the Beginning material basic, but its good to refresh, never know what you have forgotten. Facebook Payday gets you familiar with how to set up a Facebook Account, install critical applications and the best facebook monetization methods, money making opportunites for facebook, how to create facebook applications and monetize existing facebook applications.

I was pleasantly surprised by some of the tips Peter has in the MP 3 interviews, in particular the monetization suggestions, as he offered a few ideas I had never heard of before. For example, the section where he covers Mari Smith – The Relationship Queen
Never one to keep knowledge to herself, Mari is the host of Facebook Fortunes, a free online class on social media marketing. In this interview, Mari gives several valuable insights on the proper frame of mind when going into Facebook, how relationships can help you go a long way, and the little things that can be crucial.  Theres not alot of talk about how to build relationships with facebook as a way to make money from facebook and it’s interesting how Mari leverages the networking power of facebook.

Why Would You Need This Product?

I’ll be honest with you, you don’t need this product. You can learn most of these strategies yourself if you are willing to spend alot of time and do some digging around. But if you truly value your time, why spend months researching when you could just spend a weekend listening to the Mp 3 interviews?

When I first started out with facebook, I spent three months straight gathering the information that I could have learned in a single weekend with the help of this training course.

What Is In The Product

how to make money with facebookThe product itself is a series of mp3’s, e-books, facebook primer module and an action plan worksheet. The methods are largely taught via the e-book but the mp3’s come with transcripts and there are 8 of them included. The mp3’s are info packed so I’d recommend listening to them and making notes along with the transcripts. With a rest in between so that the information soaks in.

The E-books and Mp3’s start out assuming that you don’t even have a facebook account, so as to make an easy reference point for complete beginners. Peter walks you through the steps of Getting a facebook account. After doing that, you are walked through the steps of creating your profile, networking, building relationships, branding yourself and making money on facebook

The e-books and mp3’s aren’t just for novices. The first facebook primer module is the beginning of the system teaching you how to get started and then followed by the facebook pay day report and mp3 files they progress in a logical manner, call it a step by step progress as you advance through the system. The facebook payday process dives into other topics, such as Using Facebook for Market Research and Marketing, monetizing your RSS feed, and advanced traffic building techniques using social bookmarking sites.

The Good Points

  1. It’s easy to get started. This system is easy enough to follow. All it takes is basic web knowledge, some free time and you’ll be on your way to making money on facebook in your first week.
  2. Simple, yet advanced topics are covered. Simple enough to get started, but advanced enough to keep more experienced Facebook interested.
  3. The Guarantee. Peter is so confident in his system that he offers a 100% no questions asked money back guarantee.

Room For Improvement

No product is perfect, but here are a few things I would have done differently, had I created the system.

  1. Videos. This is one area that people like me just can’t get enough of. I would have liked to have seen some videos I’m a visual learner, but that’s just me.

Should You Buy This?

What I like about Peter’s system is that he really does offer a method to make money on facebook very quickly, if you’re willing to put it to work. His monetization of existing facebook applications strategy is quite clever because it guarantees you get paid for producing your application “If you’re application becomes popular enough for businesses to capitalize on, don’t be surprised if you’re approached for sponsorship and partnership options.” I can’t guarantee you’ll get rich of course because like everyhting else in life it requires work.

If you want a quick crash course in making money with facebook, this is a package worth investing in. It won’t make the money for you, but it will give you a system that works if you sit down and follow it. Just don’t expect to get super rich super quickly - no system can promise that.

At $77 this is one of the better options out there for learning how to make money with facebook. With the money back guarantee that we’ve come to expect from products like this, you shouldn’t have any hesitation at least trying this system out if the offer is compelling to you.

How to Find High Demand Low Competition Keywords for Your Blog

Filed Under (Blog keyword research, blog seo) by shaners on 25-06-2008

This isnt a post about finding a niche for your blog, I am going to assume you already have a blog up and running and are looking for some high demand low competition keywords and keyword phrases.

Note: Before you begin, if you’re NOT 100% serious about getting your website to the top of Google, Yahoo, and MSN, don’t read another word. Only read on if you plan to put everything I will be teaching you into action.

If you’re anything like I was when I first began blogging, you’ve probably created a brand new Blog.  And then You did what everyonelse did: submitted it to a few search engines and hoped that people would auto-magically show up at your site and buy whatever it is you were selling. WRONG huh !!!

So typically what happens is this:
A little time passes maybe a few weeks and only a few stray searchers pop into your Blog, you decide to try and “optimize” your website around your main keyword in hopes that you just might rank well in 1 of the millions of search engines. Another couple of weeks go by and still no luck.

At this point you probably give up and decide to either build another website around a different target market or just lose all hope and quit. Well, news flash, as you’ve probably figured out by now, this is not the way to go about doing things.

Let me give you a specific example of what your very first steps MUST be when creating any website… no matter what the subject matter is. And this is something I wish I had of known or had someone show me. One of my first ideas was to do a weight loss blog, my girlfriend was struggling at the time with her weight, (it’s a chick thing I know). So I figured I had a very real insight and could get content via her torment with losing wieght, get her insights and all the rest.

Know what , why don’t we just do that our example, let’s create a weight loss related blog live right here on this blog anyone who wants to participate can. ( I get all the money though, hey its my idea :-P so I get all the moolah)

Before we start creating and collecting content for the website, we need to do a little keyword research. This is VERY important and should not be skipped. To do our keyword research we need to visit a few websites.

The first of which should be:
http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/index.php?keyword=weight%20loss#results

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

They have a very good keyword tool, and best of all it’s free! Once we are there, we can enter the most generic keyword for our website into the keyword selector tool. In our example, our keyword would be “weight loss”. We get  85,100,000 for weight loss searches for the month of June 2006.

Now that’s a lot of demand for weight loss just on the past month of June 2008! But that’s not all. What about the supply for that hungry demand of people looking for weight loss information, pills, programs, etc?

Well, the way to do that, and by the way this is called finding your competition. Go to Google and type the following (without the quote marks “”) “allinanchor:weight loss”.

Now notice on google where is says Results 78,200,000 for allinanchor:weight loss. Now this is what I call, some SERIOUS competition for the weight loss. If you are just starting and want to use this keyword to optimize your website, forget it! Yes, demand is high, but your supply, or competition, is so high that you can’t even consider optimizing your website for that particular keyword.

This is one of those keywords and niches that is very lucrative but might take for ever to rank for. Using the primary keyword phrase weight loss

So whats the answer then? How do I search for high demand but at the same time less competitive keywords? Very simple. I can give you some off hand data but I have to tell you that now a day SEO
(Search Engine Optimization) got even easier with a new tool.

You can take a keyword with a demand of about 500 to 30,000 searches a month using the seo book keyword tool mentioned above.

Yes you could take one which has over 30,000 searches if you have an unusual supply or competition which is lower than the requirement.

Using allinanchor:keyword on Google you expect to have a search result of 15,000 or less in order to say that you are on safe ground to optimize your website and rank higher, faster and easier.

Let’s review this next example, look on wordtracker down to weight loss foods with 99 searches last month, nice demand!, now lets see our supply or competition for this particular keyword using allinanchor:dotties weight loss zone on Google. Now you can see what we get: 58,700 for allinanchor:weight loss foods So what does this mean? You got it! GO FOR IT! 58 thousand is a bit on the competitive side but certainly we could rank high and fast doing proper use of that keyword on your website.

Looking at another term I find interesting is Weight loss spa:

Heres some information for you to consider adding in to your weight loss blog.

So there you have it. Always do Step 1 and if it is a pass, move to step 2 and if that is a pass, use it, if it doesn’t pass, go back to step 1 and find another keyword with proper demand and move on to step 2 again. Meet those two very important requirements and you will be able to start the right way.

In the next few days I’ll be back with other means and ways of finding High Demand Low Competition Keywords for Your Blog
