Today’s meeting focused on creating high-quality Wordpress lead blogs and the various structures that can be used for niche-based sites.
The benefits of Wordpress for our purposes include, but are not limited to: automated content generation/publishing, keyword-specific text links (affiliate or non-affiliate) and the option of having a keyword generated store – or a combination of the three.
The idea is to provide and implement multiple methods of monetization for our lead blogs.
Phil demo’d the Alinks and Autoblogged plugins and detailed how they can be used to provide additional forms of monetization as well as increased SEO.
Also demo’d the MaxBlogPress unblockable popup plugin as a method of collecting leads or getting some initial optins for warm-up/follow-up later.
He mentioned that he’s evaluating several different options/systems that will work best with ALG, but without carrying a large – or any – cost to ALG members.
One of those systems is Wordpress Direct. Also, he feels that the Shopp plugin may just be the best one to use for setting up a store that auto-fills with Clickbank, Ebay and Amazon products, based on the keywords selected.
Wordpress Direct allows you to set-up three niche Wordpress blogs for free and is also integral to Ed Dale’s 30-Day Challenge program, which is also free.
Phil recommended we check out the 30-Day Challenge due to it’s valuable content and no-cost availablity.
More to follow on how to best integrate Wordpress into our lead gen efforts. It’s clear, though, that it will be an extremely valuable platform to generate high search engine listings, authority, free traffic and zero-cost leads, as well as long-term sustainability.
