Hey folks, really short post here.

I’ve gotten a number of e-mails asking how to sign up for my free weekly backlink packets. The sign up page is right here:

A $5,000 per year website is ridiculously simple to plan and execute. After running through a simple equation, I think you’ll come to agree with me.

You don’t have to approach your website with blind hopes and your fingers  crossed for a few random sales. If you do your strategizing correctly, you can eradicate many of the question marks from your project before you even begin it.

We can eliminate a number of these question marks by running through a simple equation to nail down very specific numbers, right down to the amount of traffic you’ll need each day to hit your target.

The equation looks like this:

Conversion (%) x Transaction Value ($) x Daily Traffic (y) = Daily Profit

To work the equation, there are several numbers you need to know; Your conversion rate, your transaction value, and your daily profit. Armed with this information, this equation will show you how much traffic you’ll need each day (our y variable) to hit your target.

#1. Conversion Rate (%)

Your conversion rate is simply how many sales you make per 100 website visitors.

The average salespage converts at 3%, though my salespages convert much higher than that (my last one converted at about 9%). The difference between a 3% and an 9% converting squeezepage is just a matter of split testing, but for now we’ll assume that you haven’t done any split testing. We’ll assume that your sales page converts an an average 3%.

#2. Transaction Value ($)

This is the amount of money you make per purchase.

This could range from a $27 Clickbank commission, to a $0.50 CPA payout, to a $100+ Amazon affiliate commission. For now, let’s go with a typical $27 product. Thus, our transaction value is $27.

#3. Daily Profit

This is how much profit we need to make each day to hit our yearly target. Since our goal for this website is $5,000 per year, we can divide 5,000 by 365 to find that we need to make $13.70 each day to hit our $5,000 target. For simplicity, we’ll round our daily profit up to $14.

#4. Number of leads (traffic)

This is the amount of traffic you’ll need each day to meet your yearly target. We don’t know this, so this will be our variable. Thus, our number of leads is y.

Here’s what we’ve got:

• Conversion Rate = 3%
• Transaction Value = $27
• Daily Profit = $14.
• Traffic = y

Our equation once again is:

Conversion (%) x Transaction Value ($) x Daily Traffic (y) = Daily Profit

Substitute these numbers into our equation and we’ll get the following:

0.03 x 27 x y = 14

Let’s isolate the variable (high school algebra flashbacks anyone?). Multiply 0.03 by 27:

0.81 x y = 14

 Divide 14 by 0.81:

y = 17.3

Rounded up, that’s 18. Thus, To make $5,000 a year with a website that converts at 3% on a $27 product, you’ll need a measly 18 visitors to your website per day.

18 visitors per day! You could manually go get these visitors from Twitter!

By taking a few minutes to figure out that an autopilot $5,000 per year website boils down to a measly 18 visitors each day, we now have an “end goal” — A solid checkerboard finish line with a lot of cash stacked next to it to run toward. This “end goal” concept is pure magic for defeating procrastination.

You probably know me as the guy who’s been sending out the free backlink packets for the past two years. But the first significant amount of money I made online didn’t come from building backlinks to my own websites, it came from ghostwriting for internet marketers.

I definitely wasn’t making enough to get rich, but I was making enough to cover $560 in rent and living expenses. I recognized early on that the quicker and better I wrote, the more money I’d make. I don’t really consider myself that great a researcher or writer so I tried to simplify things for myself by creating a simple “1-2-3″ system of approach that required a minimal amount of research and thinking, but still allowed me to quickly write well-articulated articles. Since I was constantly writing, I had plenty of opportunities to tweak the system, constantly making it easier and faster.

Over time and with enough tweaking, my little system allowed me to get pretty quick at writing high quality articles. At my peak, I had multiple clients paying me $10 per 400 word article, and I could write 5 of them on the 1 hour bus ride to the South side, and 5 more on the ride back

I’m fortunate enough to have managed to shift to more time-productive facets of internet marketing since then, so I now typically outsource my article writing. However, I still have the handy odd skill of being able to pull out my laptop with a totally blank mind, and then find myself with a 100% researched totally proofread article within 10 minutes.

I wasn’t until I quit relying on article ghost-writing as my main source of income that I realized that writing a high quality 400 word article in 10 minutes was something cool that most people couldn’t do. Since my method of speed writing was simple, and since it was already written and typed out (because I was using it), I figured I might as well turn it into a report so that other people could see how easy and quick writing articles really is. I figured there might be a few people who could benefit.

I was right! I’ve gotten some really fantastic e-mails and messages from people who have downloaded the report and tried it out. One fellow messaged me and said that it used to take him upwards of 90 minutes to write an article. The very first article he wrote with my simple system took him 25 minutes, he said — A saving of 65 minutes! And that was his first article!

The product is still around. The sales page is a little dated, but the information is just as up do date, cutting edge and powerful as it ever was. You can check it out here:

Catch you on Monday,

Here’s a pretty cool hands-off script I ran across a little while ago. It will build 31,000 backlinks back to whatever website you put into the box. Check it out.

You can download the script right here (right click “save as”):

http://paulieciara.com/resources/instantindexer_pciara.zip

Download the script, unzip it, upload it, and you should be good to do.

If you don’t have your own hosting, you can give the script a whirl here:

If you recall from my last blog post, we were using domain auto-appraisers (websites that estimate what other websites are worth) to get permanent, instant backlinks back to your website. The only problem with that method was that you had to manually copy and paste your URL every time you wanted to create a new backlink. BIG HASSLE.

So please IGNORE that old blog post, because this is a convenient way around that. This script here will automatically copy and paste your URL into up to 31,000 of these auto-appraiser websites, creating a whole surge of whois/about.org-type backlinks.

Since the script will only submit to the websites in urls.txt, you can control the number of links built if you’re a bit worried about getting too many too fast. Right now I think I’ve got about 120 of them in there so if you click “Start Backlinking,” you’ll get 120 backlinks.

Aloha friends, and happy new year to you!

If you want to get a brand-new site indexed almost instantly, or if you just like the sound of 19 instant free backlinks, here’s a little trick you might find fun

To do this, we’re going to use domain auto-appraisers, which are websites that estimate what other websites are worth. Here’s how it works. Go ahead and insert your website URL (without the http://) in place of “yourdomain.com” directly after the following URL

http://www.aboutus.org/yourdomain.com

Copy and paste this into your browser’s URL bar and hit “enter.”

Here’s what happens. AboutUs (and all the other domain auto-appraisers) will have you “wait a moment” while it gathers a minimal amount of information about the website you inserted. AboutUs will then create a webpage about your site, which includes a backlink to your site.

These pages are STATIC, which means that they won’t dissapear when you click the “x” button. These pages will remain there for Google to crawl.

Here are a list of autoappraising websites. Again, insert your URL without the http:// prefix after each of the following URLs then paste them into your browser’s URL bar.

http://www.aboutus.org/

There are only 19 right there, but I’ve got a whole list of em somewhere and I’ll add them within the next day or so. Some of these don’t seem to mind inner pages, but most seem to prefer top-level domains.

Happy new year!

P.S. I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

Whoa that really hit me. I so often forget that thanks to the internet, we live in probably the most opportunity-abundant stretch of time mankind has ever experienced. With a $200 netbook, an internet connection and a little bit of legitimate guidance, even the most insignificant of people can create multiple lucrative auto-pilot cash flows.

With that in mind, here’s the thought I want to focus on more this year.

I know the odds of me living in this particular stretch of time are 10,000,000,000:1.

Since I’m the lucky guy that got picked to be here, I can’t afford to take this for granted.

Hello folks, I’ve been enjoying keeping up with you via e-mail and through the weekly backlinks! As you’ve probably noticed, my blog was “under construction” for a bit, but no more! I’ve got some good stuff planned for this blog re-launch, so stay tuned!

The weekly backlinks are still going out (haven’t missed a week in about 8 months ) and are free as always. and if you aren’t getting them yet make sure to pick them up here:
