Umm yeah, I’ve not yet reviewed Weeks 1, 2 and 3. I’ve watched them and I’ll write about them soon as I really do have to go over them again.

What is the Affiliate Income Blueprint?

The Affiliate Income Blueprint is a part of Curtis Andrews InternetIncomeAcademy

As you might have guessed its a series of videos that take you from finding a potentially profitable niche, to keyword research – to see if it is, to creating articles ( Curtis outsources his and shows you how to do that) , right up to creating the website, putting in all the pages, optimising it for SEO and publishing the site.

Week 4

Week 4 has been the whole “build a website and publish it” deal. Doing it down and dirty using Kompozer (there are also a number of videos in the members area specific to using Kompozer)

Including a bunch of neat SEO tips and “must do” items I never thought of doing ( I do now) bringing the whole thing to 13 videos. These are not short – you get to see Curtis do every single step. So for someone who has never built a website, you’ll definitely be able to whip one up after watching these.

But, using Kompozer, building single pages is a bit old fashioned. I’m not saying that is bad. In fact it was refreshing to see it being done the old way. It took me back to the days when I was starting out. Then something happened and I wanted to automate the world…and got lost in programming. Hmmm.

Anyway, Curtis has a great teaching style which will sit well with most folk. He’s not rushed at all, so its unlikely you’ll miss anything. And it’s not boring. Even for something rather repetitive, it was still interesting to watch.

So I’m still happy to recommend InternetIncomeAcademy to anyone starting out. I’m still enjoying being a member with the community that are very  supportive and it’s fresh and constantly changing.

There is more than this.

I’ve still not had the chance to completely go through everything else yet. There is something there for everyone and if you’ve not gone down the track of finding hosting, remember that it’s included in the membership.

Learn to build sites and host them, for the one small monthly membership fee, for about the same price as hosting alone. Still not bad value.

You get shown how to create a website header graphic

Oh and you get to learn how to create a Website header using The GIMP, including installation, a quick lesson and bingo – a header is born!

Personally I prefer InkScape. I use both, but I find that InkScape lets more do more of what I want like website template layouts and headers, buttons etc.  Both are pretty neat for being Free programs. So the graphics you end up creating,  you can save and put them straight on the website.  I use The GIMP mainly for screen captures and resizing images. It’s grand for doing that. Anyway, that’s for another post.

Week 5

This is the week everyone is hanging out for. This will be the Site Monetization Part. So adding in the Affiliate products to go with the articles will be fun to see. This is one of Curtis’s main money earners on the internet. So it’ll be interesting seeing firsthand, in Curtis’ laid back teaching style on how he implements this.

Remember that these are handcrafted websites, not one of these Auto Generated Blog -article scrapping, you need shitloads of them to earn a few dollars from them and then fearing they’ll get Google Slapped at any moment.

Why handwrite a Site when you can Mass Auto Blog

Those auto blogging, mass generated sites are not the way to go. They are junk sites. What is better? One quality site that actually serves as purpose and gives value to the person visting it. or flybait sites, hoping someone will land and click an ad or buy some product from the site.

I guess the people who do that kind of thing would say – Stuff tying your own fishing fly and standing in the river to catch a few quality trout. Just get a few sticks of Dynamite and blow the river up and get a few dead fish. Umm yeah, probably won’t be any more fish after that happens fellas. Sounds like there could be a moral that little story.

There are also many folk doing better than the mass site builders. More work ( oh no ) but a better much more stable return. And I’m getting kind of sick of those junk sites and yes I do have a couple myself so I’m not so lillly white.

There is always a bright side.

If you are an article writer  and these mass sites end up picking up your articles, there might be a sunny side to it for you. Might be, I’m not sure how it affects any BIO links back to your sites if they are appearing on these kinds of sites. Although I am hearing people report that they are getting good PR on some. But it’s a gamble. It’s an interesting point I’ll have to bring up with the gang and get some feedback on. Your feedback is also welcome, so feel free to put in a comment about it.

I think I’ve opened a can of worms on this.

Anyways its that time of the evening again so I’ll leave you with it. Take care and all that good stuff and I’ll be back again with more ravings.

Cheers

Tim
