Introduction – Why You Need Udemy

The invention of the internet changed the world as we know it. There are now more opportunities to make money than there ever were before, and on a grander scale. You can make money with companies that do multi-level marketing (MLM), you can sell digital products on ClickBank, you can private label physical products and sell them on Amazon or you can sell a service on Fiverr.

That’s just a few of the possibilities that are available today!

Yet, the real power of the internet comes to those who understand its global value. The more people you have the ability to reach, the greater your profits.

The internet has created a level playing field for anyone willing to take a chance and do what it takes to make it big. Nowadays, setting up a successful business on the internet can be much more lucrative than getting a college degree.

Take for example a surgeon. This person goes through years of college, and usually ends up with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical school debt. Even if they were fortunate enough to get scholarships and grants, when they graduate they are limited in their ability to make money.

Sound crazy? It’s not.

While they may charge what seems like an arm and a leg for surgery, they can only perform so many surgeries each day they work. And they certainly won’t be working seven days a week.

Think of it this way, imagine you’re a surgeon and you are able to perform three successful surgeries a day, five days a week. That’s three patients or their insurance companies paying for your time. You have reached three people that day.

Compare that to the internet where it’s estimated over three billion people have access to using it. Even if only half of them go online a day, that’s the equivalent of 1.5 billion people each and every day of
the week.

While all of these internet users won’t be in the market for what you’re selling, you still have an incredible advantage over someone who isn’t on the internet or is in a traditional brick and mortar store.

Even if only one percent is looking for what you offer, that’s three million potential customers.

You only need a small fraction of that number to make more money than most people make working dead end jobs they don’t even like! And you can do it from the comfort of your home working only part time.

But don’t get too excited yet, because not everyone understands the true efficacy of the internet. Although everyone has a level playing field, some still don’t understand the game their playing.

There are people who have been online since the beginning that are still not making a decent living at it. They may still be working their full time job while trying to make it big, because they haven’t learned about residual income and haven’t connected all of the pieces to the puzzle yet.

No matter where you turn there are thousands of articles and countless blogs telling you how to make money online. If you aren’t careful, you’ll get information overload very quickly.

While some of these ideas can certainly help you make some extra money, they aren’t likely to bring in long term residual income. Residual income, also called passive income, is money you can earn while doing very little to keep it rolling in.

It’s typically money earned after something has been created.

Residual income allows a person to create something once, put it up for sale, and sell it over and over again. While the original product is making money, this person is free to continue making more products that will produce even more residual income.

It isn’t some get rich quick scheme. It’s a proven method for bringing in the maximum amount of money with the least amount of effort.

A perfect example of residual income is the money earned by musicians or authors. Once a song has been recorded, the artist makes profit off of it each time it’s downloaded or played on the radio. Just take a look at a group like The Beatles. They haven’t recorded anything for decades, but the money is still rolling in.

Authors earn money the same way. They write a book one time, but it sells over and over again. So putting in work up front for something that will provide residual income is a much smarter way to make money.
Making residual income is just what this e-book is about. More specifically, you’ll discover you how a site like Udemy can be the key to your financial success.

When you follow the steps outlined in this e-book, you can begin to realize your potential to make consistent money while doing a minimal amount of work.

So, why doesn’t everyone do this?

Quite simply because some people don’t understand how to do it, some people prefer to work for others, and some people are just too darn lazy!

Determining your future is up to you, and if you want to be financially successful, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ll get into everything you need to know shortly, but it’s important to understand how the steps work. First, you need to understand the platform you’ll be working on, in this case Udemy.

Then you’ll want to prepare everything you need for success.

Preparation is often the most important part of this equation, and sometimes the most overlooked, so pay close attention to your preparation and follow the suggestions in this e-book for maximum results.

Purpose is the next step, the one in which you will hone in on your product. Next comes the profit you generate from creating and launching your new course.

Last, and most importantly for your financial success is to create more courses. Each new course you create will be another residual income stream.

To reiterate, these are the steps you’re going to take:

Platform – learn what you need to know
Preparation – the most important part of this venture
Purpose – what are you trying to sell
Profit – generating traffic and promoting your course
Rinse And Repeat – more courses equals more money

When you follow these simple steps, you can achieve a much higher level of success. It isn’t complicated, but you must follow all the steps to ensure you do everything correctly and earn the maximum amount of profits.

So, I hope you’re excited. Let’s get started right now!

Backlinks come in various forms (some good, some bad), but the most coveted of all are "authority backlinks".

These are the ones that have the most impact on your SEO success and ultimately your income.

But how do you get these elusive backlinks?

That's one of the biggest questions that plagues the minds of Internet marketers looking to increase their organic rankings and traffic.

In the world of online marketing, it may seem that your top competitors know some magic formula that helps them outrank you and dominate the search engines with barely any effort at all.

Maybe they have some push-button software or utilize some service you don't know about.

It's possible, but none of that really matters.

The method I'm about to teach you is a simple solution you can implement to get high-quality authority backlinks and traffic whenever you want.

Once you know how to do that, you can literally write your own paycheck.

So, I hope you’re excited to get started!

Authority Backlinks Demystified

Having spent more than 12 years in the trenches doing SEO, I learned a long time ago that there are three important aspects to generating quality backlinks.

These include:

Publishing great content

Reaching a targeted audience

Providing added value

It's easy to get the first two parts right. Just publish helpful content and then optimize it to your target audience.

Simple enough, right?

Yet, so many people get it horribly wrong.

First and foremost, many people really don’t provide great content. They often outsource their content to the cheapest outsourcer they can find.

Then to make matters worse, they focus on writing content for the search engines and not their website visitors.

That’s a recipe for disaster. Make sure you never do that.

Quality, is much better than quantity.

Don’t ever forget that.

Now let’s talk about adding value.

There are various ways to do this, but for this method we’re going to focus on is creating infographics to add value and get authority backlinks.

This is an extremely underutilized method and it works really well.

It’s also easy to do, which is another reason I love this method.

So, what makes this so effective?

Rather than adopting the usual way of publishing infographics and begging other people to share it, you'll now be enticing people to publish your infographic and value added content on their blog.

However, there's a small price of entry you still need to pay in order for this to work. There are very specific steps you must follow.

Before diving deeper into how this powerful method works, it's important to first know how to create killer infographics.

Generally, there are two options when it comes to creating this sort of content. You can either do it yourself or outsource the work.

Choosing which method to go for will largely depend on your budget, time, as well as your graphic design skills or lack thereof.

Creating Infographics On Your Own

To create a good infographic, you'll need to have the right software. For those who choose the DIY approach, Canva (www.canva.com/create/infographics) is a handy tool that's also free to use.

Canva includes hundreds of free design elements, allowing you to experiment with data visualization just like a pro.

Plus, it’s web-based so you don’t have to download any software. Just create a free account and start designing!

Before using it, you can do a quick Google Search for "infographic ideas" to get your creative juices flowing.

Outsourcing Infographic Design

Outsourcing infographic design can save you a lot of time and effort. This method is highly recommended if you don't have the skills or time to put together a great-looking infographic.

And with outsourcing platforms like Fiverr.com, getting professional looking infographics has never been easier. You can pay as little as $5 to have a professional on Fiverr design your infographic from scratch.

It's super easy to find an infographic creator on Fiverr. All you have to do is conduct a simple search for “Infographic design”.

Then for each seller, look at their overall rating, the number of buyer reviews, and their average response time.

You may also want to read some of their customer reviews and check out their portfolio just to make sure you like the quality of their work.

Then simply hire the one you like best!

If you’re in a hurry, you can also pay extra to have your infographic created faster, often in as little as 24 hours.

I love using Fiverr, because I can get great designs at a very affordable price. It also frees up my time, so I can focus on other money-making tasks.

5 Steps To Get Authority Backlinks With Infographics

Now that you know how to create an infographic or outsource your infographic design to someone else, the next step is learning how to use your infographic to generate backlinks to your blog.
On the surface this may seem like a daunting task, but it's pretty straightforward once you know what to do.

The Tactical Backlinks Method can be broken down into five easy steps, which I'll explain in greater detail below.

Introduction

The fact that blogs have become an extremely popular marketing and promotion method is no surprise. Not when you consider the advantages they offer over the standard website.

For one thing, if you use an independent online blogging service like Blogger.com (https://www.blogger.com)you don’t need any web design or programming skills. You simply sign up for a free account, choose the template you want, and then begin posting content.

And since these types of services are maintained on the owner’s server, there’s no need to acquire independent web hosting or domain names. Whether you operate one blog or several hundred, there’s no cost whatsoever.

Another important advantage is being able to get your blog (and subsequently, future blog postings) indexed by search engines in a much shorter period of time.

For the most part, that can be attributed to three factors:

•Search engines such as Google favor blogs, mostly becauseit’s fresh content that’s updated on a regular basis.

•Ping capability means you can immediately notify search engines whenever new content has been added.

•Syndicating blog content through RSS feeds increases both the content value and the number of backlinks.

Just like any other website, you can also incorporate independent advertising in your blog template.

Customized Google Adsense ads, for example, can be quickly and easily added to a Blogger website. You can also sell additional advertising space.These ads can either be placed throughout the overall content or established within designated areas of the template.

Of course, the real money-making potential is the fact that you have a platform for including whatever information or promotions you choose. And the fact that blogs are already accepted as a personal announcement vehicle, they can be the perfect place to offer product testimonials and endorsements.

As long as your blog content provides valuable and interesting information, other bloggers will come. The only difficulty is providing this type of inviting content on a regular basis.

The reason most blogs fail (other than the fact that so many of them contain nothing worth reading about) is simply because the owner can’t keep up the pace. They open their blog, post some good content for a period of time, and then gradually run out of steam.

It doesn’t have to go that way…

What you need to understand is that blogs were and always will be a vehicle for venting personal thoughts. That’s not to say you can’t use them for business. They just need to be geared more toward a private writings than a promotional message.

When you think about the way blogs started out -and what continues to make them so popular -it’s obvious that owners use them to “bare their soul”, so to speak. They don’t labor over their content, constantly revising and editing as though it were some sort of literary masterpiece.

They simply speak opening and honestly about what they feel and what they think. And, if what they write is highly engaging, their blog will not only attract a considerable amount of followers, it will endure over an extended period of time.

In other words, it will last long after thousands of other blogs have bit the cyber dust and disappeared.

If you want your blog to be successful, you need to approach the writing on a casual and personal level. Be yourself. Write honestly and from the heart, without all the hype and polished promotional agenda.

Granted, your goal is to make money. But you won’t be able to do that if you use your blog simply to hawk products. You need to entertain people. Maybe not in the extreme sense of some stage performer…

But you do have to give them something that makes them want to keep reading. And not just initially. You need to capture their attention to the degree that they actually look forward to hearing what you have to say next.

One of the best ways to ensure that you’ll retain reader attention and support is to choose specific niche topics. The more targeted or specific the niche, the better.

Rather than trying to please scores of individuals with various interests, you can focus on subject areas that have very strong and targeted audience potential.

And writing about specific niche topics will mean your Google Adsense ads will also be highly targeted. A perfect match for your own content.

Another important aspect of operating a blog is allowing readers to add their own comments.

For one thing, it gives them a sense of inclusion, that they’re part of the process rather than merely an outsider looking in.

Secondly, it helps build content. Even on those occasions when you’re not able to contribute, you can rest assured that your readers are posting their own comments, opinions, and advice.

That’s assuming, of course,that you’ve given them something to talk about. Which addresses yet another blog practice that should be implemented…

It’s always a good idea to invite reader participation. Rather than wait around for someone to contribute comments, put something out there that prompts them to take action.

For example…

If your blog is centered around SEO, ask readers to post their best and worse search engine tactics.

If your blog is centered around dogs, ask readers what training methods resulted in the most success (or failure).

Take a poll, take a survey. Conduct a contest. Include a questionnaire form that readers can fill out and submit.

There are all sorts of ways you can get readers involved. If nothing else, just mention something that will prompt them to post comments. Or, at the very least, provide content that makes them want to keep coming back.

Don’t just write. Get people fired up. Give them something to think about, to talk about with their friends and associates. The more you get them involved, the more likely they’ll spread the word about this great blog they continue to visit.

Of all the advantages a blog can offer, the best one is the fact that people who frequent blogs don’t expect them to be literary works of art. Instead, they’re looking for a place to be informed, amused, enlightened, and entertained.

Naturally, if you’re on a more serious level, talking about a professional subject such as SEO or internet marketing or financial investment, you’ll need to be careful about your writing, spelling, and grammar.

In those types of instances, you want people to respect your advice and view you as an expert in your field. You won’t be able to pull that off if your blog posts are riddled with misspelled words and grammatical errors.

But in most areas of writing, it’s not that critical. Not like it would be on your typical “business” website. When frequenting blogs, people are generally more interested in what’s posted there than how eloquently it’s written (just like discussion boards).

Your blog has the potential to generate a good deal of revenue. But your first and primary objective should be to create and maintain content that keeps your readership alive and well. Once you’ve accomplished that, financial success will automatically follow.
