I'm probably going to wake up in the morning regretting that I didn't turn this into a $500 course w/ pdf/audio/video. But, lucky for you guys, I pretty much despise 98% of internet marketers who are selling crap info products on how to get rich. The money is in desperate shit e.g. dating, fitness, health, sex, and wealth (investing/real estate). My number one niche product that I make money from is a hippie type exercise product sold on Amazon that sells for $450+ a pop (7% commission).

First things first.
As with anything, if your foundation is weak, it's going to affect everything else. What I'm about to show you is stuff that Google frowns upon.
Step 1. (Required!!!)
Get a pencil and composition notebook. Do not substitue it with Notepad/MS Word/OpenOffice. Put it to the side, because it will be your most important tool. You will record everyting. I don't care how minute you might think something is. One small change you didn't track can mean the difference between zero dollars being made and earning anywhere from $10 to $200 a day per website. You will get into the habit of recording and testing everything.
When your first site starts to make money, you'll have a detailed blueprint for what did and didn't work. All you'll have to follow is your notes to repeat the process on your next site.
Step 2 (This step isn't required).
Not everyone is paranoid as I am, but I like to reduce my web footprint as much as possible to Google and other data tracking websites.
Download Tor Browser Bundle (from now on referred to as TBB) for your respective operating system.
https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en
HTTPS Everywhere and NoScript addon are automatically included. You can add the following addons, but they are not necessary.
Referrer Control (Spoofs referring websites you come from when you land on another website)
Cookie Culler (Deletes all cookies, unless you explicitly allow individual ones) You don't to worry about installing BetterPrivacy to block/delete Flash/LSO cookies as Flash isn't allowed to be TBB.
Request Policy (Automatically blocks cross-site requests (ad tracking))
Certificate Patrol (Ensures SSL certificates are up to date, not spoofed, and reduces your chances of a MITM (man in the middle) attack with intermediatary sites))
Don Not Track Plus
MaskMe (My absolute favorite extension. You can mask your email, create passwords on the fly, and if you use the paid version, mask your phone number)
Ghostery (An additional ad tracker blocker)
PrivacyFix (Show all kinds of shit that sites attempt to track and blocks them as well)
This browser is only for WORK, nothing else. No Facebook, no BGOL, no Youtube. Work, and only work. When you are performing any work, use this browser, and this browser only. Don't access your work websites via your regular browsing.
Step 3 (Required)
I know most of you don't like torrents, but I'm not about to upload 3.5GBs of the best course out there bar none. Have no fear, this is a private tracker. There are plenty of tutorials online on how to use a torrent client.
Biz Torrents
Once you join, download
Tiny Little Businesses (3.5GBs)
Go through the entire course. Take notes. Start from the beginning and actually implement each lesson.
Remember that composition notebook in step 1?
Write down everything that you do!
Step 4a (helpful if you don't understand the importance of SEO)
On Page SEO. It's not really hard to understand. Learn the importance of page title, h1,2,3 (header), meta (description/keyword), img alt & title tags.
A good book for new users is Leo Wadsworth's Ultimate SEO 2013. Learn it, especially the On-Site Section.
Download it
here.
Another good book is Art of SEO, Second Edition. It's a little more advanced and a good read.
Download it
here.
Step 4b (Required!!!!!!!!!) Test (Titles, Descriptions, Keywords, Headers, Content). Record results. Test changes against prior test. Compare. Keep what performs between the two. Disregard what doesn't work. Test again. Ad infinitum.
Step 5 (Required!!!)
I'm not home right now, but when I get back, I'll upload the backlink tools like SENuke, Ultimate Niche Finder, Wiki Bomber, etc. as it can be somewhat difficult to locate everything. You don't have to use all of these products. SENuke and one of the keyword/niche/competition tools is the bare minimum you need.
Step 5a (helpful)
While you're waiting on my slow ass, get familiar with those tools in this course. You can have the most optimized site in the world, but it won't amount to a hill of beans without backlinks. Sorry, it's another torrent.
Brian Valentine's - Push Button Backlinks (5.6GBs)
Your AV software should throw a flag on one of the files.

Now, I laid everything out for you.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION. The only thing required is your time and effort. However, if you have the money (it's not cheap), you can learn from the guy that made me even better and get there a lot quicker. PM me if that's the route you want to take. That way is not for public consumption and everyone will not be accepted.
