Now that they have been online for a year with juicy content I think its time to start a decent campaign. Once I get to the number one spot I will start to closely follow the traffic and conversions to see if these niches are worth going forward with.

The most amazing part about this entire ecommerce beng I am about to go on is, that I finally have all the resources I need to create a great back-end for drop shipping and very professional looking sites. At first I didn’t have this comfort and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I was going to do exactly. Not to mention I was broke as a joke; haha I still kinda am but business is going well and I will soon have a decent sized stash to invest back into business.

The sites are going to be made in magento, which is a great ecommerce platform that is full of awesome features and will cut our construction time in half. The only thing that is left to do is persuade the manufacturers to drop ship for me. It shouldn’t be too hard seeing as how one of my really good friends does it already, and I will have a great drop shipping back-end to show them.

Im pretty excited about getting this thing going finally. Client work is getting to be a pain in the butt! However, it does pay the bills:)

Lately I have been working away (as usual). I took a little time of the web work though, to risk my life three stories up in the air on a ladder to wash windows for my step dads company. The things I will do for money…..wow! But thats is now over with and I can continue my journey online.

1) The first thing I have been focusing on lately is upping the conversion ratio on LeeWai media. You see I have been tracking the site with analytics and I am proud to say, it gets a consistent number of hits per day. So what seems to be the problem you ask? Well the problem happens to be that no one is actually buying once they get to my site.I put a lot of time into the first design, but I will admit I was pretty worried about how I wanted it to look. That my friends is completely wrong. I have came to the conclusion that it simply doesn’t matter what you (or I in my case) think, because you are not going to be buying from yourself ever. So now I am in the process of making the site convert better. I don’t really care how it looks, but I have been doing my research and have came up with a pretty good blueprint that I am sure will work better (or at least thats my hopes). I also need to continue marketing the site so I will be the first link in Google when someone searches my term. It has been said that around sixty percent of traffic stops at the first site or link in a search engine, I don’t know if thats completely true but it definitely seems plausible.

2) The second objective I have been working on is starting on my entrepreneurial side. I have been researching niches that have little competition in Google, but at the same time have a nice traffic flow and a good profit margin. It is very difficult to find a good niche but it can be done if executed correctly. I also found a great tool that allows me to test out these niches almost free of charge (sorry trade secret). Once they have been live long enough and I have done a sufficient amount of marketing I will pick my best candidate according to my analytics. I know that more than half of these niches will fail miserably but thats all part of the job, haha.

3) The last thing I have been working towards is marketing or networking myself. I have to get my name out there, because its WHO you know, not WHAT you know, at least thats what I’m told. My buddy Jon has gotten me into going to an internet marketing meet-up that takes place in Rexberg Idaho every Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. I have actually started blogging about what goes on, please check it out and if you would like to join please contact me and I will let you know all the details. Anyways, I have been obtaining as many Twitter and Facebook friends as I can possibly get my hands on. One of my business partners actually has my account hooked up to some program that gets you tons of twitter followers so I don’t really have to do much work, its great! I have also learned a few tricks about how to work your way into great business relationships with important people you meet on these social networking sites. Spamming is not the way to go, rather than that try presenting yourself as an individual that is wiling to help or assist in some way. That makes creating a tight nit relationship easier on you. Then you simply imply your business slowly and try to push your services or products. Take that info. and run with it (if you want)!!
