about the market you're involved in will bring your site to the

Alicia was the typical homemaker who spent her days raising kids,
sewing, cleaning, and of course folding piles of laundry. She
did have one pastime - surfing the web. Early in her experience
she knew absolutely nothing about web terms. In fact, the
mention of a spider would have sent her running. As her
knowledge grew, she began to get a wild dream of becoming a
virtual entrepreneur. Could she do it?
She thought of what her family would think about her attempt.
Their number one reaction she imagined would be surprise. This
made the decision - she would keep her business attempt a secret,
and if all went well she'd have a really great surprise in store
for them. Alicia went through the normal first steps of setting
up a website, and readying her product - a mother's personal
organizer. Next she researched all of the marketing plans she
could find.
Day after day, after the kids went off to school Alicia spent a
few minutes blogging about everyday events in the life of a
mother. She incorporated RSS feeds into her plan, and included a
great number of links to other sites of interest (all affiliate
links.) Day by day she watched her web traffic increase and her
bank account grow. By Christmas time she had the most amazing
surprise to present to her family - a bank statement that proved
she had earned more than $30,000 in her spare time of a few
minutes each day.
How could such a simple marketing plan work for an obvious
newbie? Simply! Alicia just found a plan that involved a little
technological knowledge and implemented it. She happened to have
found a way to get her site indexed and listed on search results
almost immediately. Spiders love updated content and long lists
of related links. Alicia, like most mothers, knew that if you
feed something what it likes, it'll pretty much do what you want
it to! For Alicia, a little mother's insight paid off. | |
