You look at your beautiful website, getting a steady flow of
visitors, and wonder how you can squeeze more money out of it.
Maybe you're even getting a few sales, but you want an easy way
to generate even more. You want a "secret money generator" if
you will.
I was in the same predicament 3 years ago. I had my site at
Chitterlings.com which was (and still is) selling a cookbook that
I wrote. I had days when I was getting tens of thousands of
visitors... mostly looking for seasonal recipes. My challenge was
to find something to offer my visitors who didn't purchase my
cookbook. My challenge was to find something else to offer my
visitors who DID purchase my cookbook :-)
Somehow I came across a magazine jobber. He offered to allow me
to sell magazines to my site visitors. This sounded perfect.
There were literally hundreds of different titles that I could
offer, and the profit margin was VERY high.
So I downloaded hundreds of images from a resource site, and set
about building webpages describing all of these magazine. I
logged into my affiliate program, and set up hundreds of order
links. It took me almost 2 weeks, but I though that the webpages
I created were true works of art.
I linked to those pages, and notified members of my recipe
exchange list of this new site feature. I also posted teaser copy
strategically throughout my website. Then the orders started
coming in.
Then the headaches began! Two to three times a week I received
an email from the jobber telling me that prices, or magazine
availability, had changed. So I had to go change ALL of the
affected pages. When I received an order, I had to manually
forward the order to the jobber in a very specific format. He
forwarded the orders to the publishers, and 4-8 weeks later, my
customers' subscriptions started. In the interim, I'd get
dozens of emails asking for an update on their subscriptions. It
just wasn't worth it... so I stopped selling magazines :-)
Fast-forward 3 years, and it took me less than 30 minutes to set
up another magazine shop on my website. It now takes me about 5
minutes to update the ENTIRE site which features over 1200
titles.
Why am I telling you this and why do you care? Well, YOU can
now quickly and easily add a "store" to any of your websites...
plugging in literally millions of affiliate products. Most
major affiliate program managers offering more than a handful of
products now offer webmasters data feeds. These are generally
provided as Comma Separate Values (CSV) files... spreadsheet
files. The webmasters uses various tools to extract this data and
display it on their webpages.
Countless brick and mortar companies now have affiliate program.
Everyone from Office Depot, to furniture stores, to clothing
manufacturers, will now allow you to sign up for their affiliate
program and offer their product to your website visitors. No
matter what the topic of your website, there are affiliate
products that are ideal for your visitors, and there's a good
chance that there are also data feeds available for these
affiliate programs.
The tool that I use to get data feeds onto my website is actually
called "Secret Money Generator." Secret Money Generator is a
program you install on your website. You design a few basic
templates using either the built in capabilities of the software,
or use your favorite html editor.
Next, with the click of a button... the software: 1) Uploads your
templates to your server. 2) Uploads your entire database to your
server. 3) Builds static html pages featuring the individual
products.
The static html webpages are actually built right on the server
by the software. You can see one of hundreds of such sites I own
and profit handsomely from at: http://Chitterlings.com/mags/
After I designed the templates, which took me about 20 minutes to
get them looking the way that I wanted them to, I uploaded them
to my server. Then with the click of a button, the software built
1843 pages on my site in 14 seconds.
Site maintenance merely involves getting updates from the
respective affiliate program manager, and then uploading the
updated csv file at whatever frequency you desire. Then with the
click of a button all 1843 pages are automatically updated...it
takes about 10 seconds.
To update the look of your entire site, you just make changes to
your templates, upload these, and... again, with the click of a
button update thousands of pages in mere seconds!
You can plug "a store" like this into any of your sites, or
dozens of your sites, in very little time. I spend a few hours
on many of my sites getting them just the way that I want them.
Once things are set up it's largely on autopilot. Since I now use
affiliate programs I don't have the tracking or order fulfillment
headaches I had years ago with that first magazine site. The
magazine affiliate program that I showed you is even 2-tier, so
I'm earning lifetime commissions on both my customers and those
of other webmasters I set up with a magazine site... or any of a
dozen other 2-tier programs I promote.
You don't have to market inexpensive products from your sites
though. There are affiliate programs offering products selling
for thousands of dollars EACH, and they provide data feeds too.
When you get Secret Money Generator, you also get a list of lots
of places that offer you huge data feeds. There are data feeds
that feature over 1 million products :-)
Take a look at "Secret Money Generator" now at:
http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=121605
It comes with a step-by-step video tutorial. The tutorials are
very nicely done in Camtasia. The software developers also
periodically conducts hands-on training workshops. I attended
one in Orlando, Florida, January 28th - 30th,2005. There are
others planned in Orlando and Las Vegas. The workshops aren't
required, but they are an excellent way to see how other Secret
Money Generator users are creating some awesome sites. It's a
great way to get to know this powerful software inside-out.
Whether your site is on... training your gold fish, carpet
cleaning, or raising perfect children, you can plug in a Secret
Money Generator" profit stream very easily.
After you get your secret money generators up and running you
only need to point your website visitors to them. You can also
plug in lots of powerful site content and this will send you
droves of organic search engine traffic. For example, the site
I showed you above now gets as many as 27,000 unique visitors
on a good day... all from free search engine listings. It
literally is a veritable money machine.
I've just shown you "a webmaster's dream come true." Now you have
absolutely no excuse not to turn your website
into "a secret money generator."
