6 Steps: How To Build An Email List For FREE From Scratch

12:17 pm by Ben Fletcher Leave a Comment

In this blog post, I am going to show you step by step how to collect email addresses and build an email list for free on your website.

The Problem:

Everybody tells you you need to build a list of subscribers and collect email addresses on your website, but nobody actually shows you how to do it step by step.

In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to build an email list for free from scratch quickly and easily.

The Solution:

Collecting email addresses on your website only takes 6 steps and it’s easier than you think.

I’m going to show you how to do it, right here and by the end of this blog post, you will have a proven battle-tested strategy to start collecting emails on your website.

How To Build An email List For FREE!

Step 1: Download My Interactive Checklist

I highly recommend you download my free Interactive Checklist here.

You’ll get the entire process to collect emails on your website, even if you use WordPress and you’ll be able to follow along step by step quickly and easily.

By having that checklist at your fingertips, you’ll be able to come back to it again and again, whenever you need to.

So download that first.

Step 2: Decide On Your Objective

Before you proceed any further, you need to clearly decide on your objective.

Why do you want to collect email addresses on your website?

For some people, it might be to deliver a mini-course to prospects who request it.

For others it might be to deliver a PDF download, known as a lead magnet, to people interested in a certain subject matter.

I once knew somebody, who wanted to capture email addresses so that she could send people her Cake recipes via email.

The bottom line is, you need to be clear about your objective and why you’re collecting the email address in the first place.

Step 3: Choose a Free Traffic Source

To build an email list, you need traffic.

Traffic is an Internet Marketing phrase for website visitors.

There’s a lot’s of ways to get traffic to your website and I’m going to list out my favourite ones below:

Start a Blog

My Number 1 favorite way of getting traffic to my website is through blogging.

A blog is a website exactly like my website that you’re reading right now.

You landed on my website, probably because you did a search in Google and my website was shown to you.

I got you to this website from google and by writing this blog post.

It’s also known as Search Engine Optimization.

This is a huge topic and too big to get into here as it’s an entire topic of it’s own.

But if you’re interested in Blogging I recommend the 21 Day Day Blog Challenge click here.

And it’s my favorite free traffic source for building an email list.

Social Media Marketing

My Number 2 favorite way of getting free traffic to my website is using Social media and Facebook.

You can create a simple page on Facebook and direct people to it by sharing your page with other facebook users.

There are lot’s of popular social media sites on the internet, so you’re not just limited to Facebook.

There is also Twitter, Instagram and Reddit.

YouTube

My Number 3 Favorite way of building an email list with free traffic is Youtube.

I’ve recently been experimenting with Youtube, I don’t particularly like Youtube because I’m quite a shy person.

But You Tube is the 2nd biggest search engine in the world, after Google, in fact actually, Youtube is owned by Google.

It’s a massive source for free traffic that I’ll be doing more of in the future, but for now my main focus is blogging to build my email list for free and I recommend you start with blogging aswell.

Step 4: Sign Up For An Email Autoresponder Service

When I say “autoresponder service” I don’t mean one of those auto-response emails you set up, that automatically sends out an auto-reply email when somebody emails you out of hours.

That isn’t what I’m talking about here.

I’m talking about a proper professional service that not only sends out a sequence of email messages but ALSO has a special email capture tool built right into it.

This means you can set up a special form to collect email addresses directly on your website.

This form has a few names.

You might have heard it called an “opt-in form” or a “sign up form”.

Whichever name you’ve heard, they both have the exact SAME function.

That is to capture email addresses on your website.

Here’s some email sign up form examples of what these forms might look like:

I particularly like this one from Nerd Fitness:

There is an autoresponder service that I use to create email sign up forms just like these that I highly recommend you use called Aweber.

There are others you can use, but I highly recommend you use Aweber, because it’s the easiest to use and they have a free plan.

Here’s how to sign up to aweber:

Once you’ve created your Aweber account move on to Step 4…

Step 5: Create Your Email Sign Up Form

By this point, you should have:

Downloaded my interactive Checklist.
Defined your objective.
Chosen a free traffic source
Signed up to Aweber and created your free account.

If you’ve completed those steps and followed along up to this point, congratulations.

And now we’re at the part where the rubber really meets the road.

It’s time to create your sign up or opt-in form inside Aweber.

Usually, this is one the hardest parts.

It can also be one of the most technically challenging parts, especially if you’re not a technical person.

Thankfully, Aweber makes this REALLY easy to do.

That’s why I recommended that you use Aweber for this.

By using Aweber, this step shouldn’t take you more than about 5 minutes.

10 minutes TOPS.

So lets get started:

Once you’ve followed these steps and created your optin form (sign up form) inside Aweber, you’re now ready to add the form to your website.

Step 6: How To Add The Sign Up Form To Your Website To Capture Email Addresses

So once you’ve created the form, here’s how to actually add the email capture form to your website.

For this, I’m going to assume you’re using WordPress.

Sign into your Aweber account and click “sign up Forms” from the Aweber dashboard:

Choose an Aweber Sign Form Template

Customize the form eg: Add your own text:

Select Aweber’s thank you page (or use your own):

Copy and paste sign up form code into your website:

And that’s it.

Here’s a quick trick that will save you a lot of time in the future…

When it comes to embedding your email sign up form into your website, always use the Javascript version NOT the raw HTML version.

You don’t need to know how to code or anything like that, all you do is just copy and paste the code where you want the email capture form to appear in your website.

And by using the Aweber’s Javascript version of the code, any changes you make to the form in the future, will automatically update itself on your wordpress blog or website, without having to do it all again.

Here’s a video of the entire process, so that you can watch me as I do it:

Don’t forget to claim your free Aweber account here.

You Can Also Use The Aweber WordPress Plugin To Build Your Email List

Aweber also have a free WordPress plugin that you can use to add your sign up to your website:

free wordpress plugin for building an email list

By using A wordpress plugin, it makes it even easier to collect email addresses on your website and thankfully, Aweber have their own and it works really well.

How To Get Lots of People To Submit Your Sign Up Form and Build A Big Email List

The goal of adding a sign up form to your website or blog, is to get as many people to optin to your email list as you can.

The more people on your list, the more people you can help and serve.

So here’s a few best practices for creating email capture forms that collects as many emails as possible.

Take a look at the image below.

This is a sign up offering a Photography Mini-Course:

I like this one as it’s a very good example of an email optin form and it was created with Aweber.

I’ve numbered them in the picture above so that you can see each element I’m talking about.

It has a simple image of a camera, this will immediately catch the attention of anyone interested in Photography or camera work. It conveys very easily what it’s about.
Immediately identifies what it is being given away in exchange for their name and email address. In this example, it’s a Mini Course.
Time focused and benefit driven headline. The value proposition here is easy to understand get’s straight to the point – that they’ll get better at Photography in 11 days. It’s one thing to say they’ll get better at Photography, but when you attach a timeline to it, it becomes much more powerful.
Detailed specifics of what they’ll actually get. In this case it’s 11 short videos again, with the promise that the viewer will be better by the end of the week.
The button has a strong Call to Action “Get Started”. This is better than the usual boring “submit” you see on most email capture forms.
One additional element is the visual appeal. The layout and color s of the form is very easy on the eye.

When you consider all the things I’ve mentioned above, you can see this is a very easy thing for someone to optin to and would get a lot of email submissions.

So by following the 6 steps I’ve outlined above in this blog post, you now know how to build an email list for free easily.

Don’t forget, with my favourite email marketing software Aweber, you can model all your email sign up forms like the one in the example above and watch your email list GROW!

This is the Best Seo Plugin For WordPress I’ve EVER Used

12:40 pm by Ben Fletcher Leave a Comment

This blog post comes off the back of an article that I read on Search Engine Journal.

The article was about an SEO plugin that (up until recently) I considered to be the best seo plugin for wordpress and I used it to optimize all my affiliate websites.

I’ve just recently found it’s been taken over by another company.

And, (according to that Article) on Search Engine Journal, they are automatically updating their plugin without telling their users AND without consent.

If you don’t mind auto updates and you’re not particularly a very geeky person, you might find auto updating plugins the best option for you.

But it can cause a whole bunch of problems.

The plugin I was previously using was called “All in One SEO” .

You may be familiar with it.

This was my ‘go to’ wordpress SEO plugin for years.

This was a plugin that I used across all my sites.

I didn’t bother using anything else up until this point because it served me so well.

It was formerly owned by an independent developer and his support was absolutely fantastic.

It was then sold to another company and this is when all the trouble started and the plugin gradually started to hit the skids:

what is the best seo plugin for wordpress

As you can see it’s riled a few people.

Because the company have decided to just FORCE updates on people, it’s changing all the settings that people have set up aswell.

Not too mention it’s a lot more buggy now, than it ever was.

So I started looking for an alternative to the “All in One SEO” plugin.

The Best SEO Plugin For WordPress I’ve Found So Far…

I found this plugin called Rank Math.

And I’ve been using it ever since.

It’s a super powerful plugin and the good thing about it is they do have a pro version that’s very inexpensive – Rank Math pricing is 59 bucks for the year. (at the time of writing this blog post).

They have other price plans but if you’re just starting out, the $59 plan is going to be all you need.

But here’s whats even better…

You don’t actually need to the paid version of Rank Math in order to use the plugin effectively.

And their free version is packed full of a TON of features that you rarely see with free plugins.

So in this blog post, I’m going to be demonstrating and reviewing the Rankmath Free version.

My Rank Math Review

You can get the free version of RankMath here.

And now I’m going to show you how to install it and the Rank Math Set up process, it’s very easy to do:

So to get RankMath, just go to plugins, which is down here at the left hand sidebar.

You’ll see a link there called plugins.

All you do is click that to add new then just search for “RankMath”:

This will automatically load the WordPress plugin directory for you, you can then click “install” on Rank Math.

And just so you know you’ve got a right one, RankMath has over 600,000 installs.

Then activate it.

Once this is activated, what you’re going to see Rank Math in the left sidebar:

Click that and then you’ll see a tab to launch the Rankmath set up wizard:

What the RankMath wizard will do, is it will set up this plugin for your particular installation of WordPress server settings depending on what hosts you use and other similar things.

Each web host is different.

And it will set up RankMath to work in an optimal way with your site and your hosting environment.

You’ve got three options here:

You’ve got the Easy option, which is the one I use, you’ve got the advanced option too.

The Rankmath Advanced option is for people who are quite advanced users [and] understand how SEO works in relation to WordPress specifically.

I personally want to get using it in the easiest way possible.

I just want to install the plug in and be done with it and carry on.

I don’t really want to figure out with all this stuff.

You’ve also got a Rank Math pro mode option aswell.

I recommend you ignore this for now.

Just stick with the easy one and that’s absolutely fine to get you going.

So once you’ve got Easy enabled, you just click “Start Wizard”:

Once you’ve done that, You’ll begin.

As you move through the steps, you can upload a logo for your blog, if you want to.

Select the type of site:

You want to stick with personal blog or small business site, I wouldn’t use any of the other ones because it’s going to sort of screw things up a little bit.

So just stick with one of those two, I like to stick with personal blog.

RankMath also has schema markup built into it in the Rank Math schema module:

And you can upload an image there, so that if somebody shares your post on Twitter or Facebook, it’s going to pull that image into it.

NOTE: I like to set the scheme of images for social sharing at a per post basis because what happens is, if you use the same image across all your posts, your click through rate will go down especially with something like Facebook where it’s very image driven. If you’re using the same image on every post, people will think it’s the same post and no different to any of the others and a lot of people won’t bother clicking it.

At the top Rankmath will show you which step you’re currently at in the setup process:

One thing to note, is at the bottom of this step, you’ll see this here:

This will tell you if your website is compatible or not.

ALWAYS check this.

Only proceed through this if you see a GREEN tick here.

If you don’t see that green tick, what you will find is, you will get suggestions on how to fix it.

Go and fix the suggestions before you go any further.

Any conflicts you see here, will be highlight in RED.

You can connect your RankMath account here too, but this is mainly for pro users.

You don’t need the Rank Math pro version to get started with, but it might be worth upgrading to it in the future.

However, if you get rank Math right now, it’s on a special pricing deal, due to it being very new to the market. (at the time of writing this blog post).

You can use the RankMath free version out of the box.

I use the pro version personally, because it get’s me locked into to their lowest possible price.

I can see Rank Math’s price increasing in the not too distant future.

Link to the special pricing is is here.

NOTE: RankMath will still work just fine without you connecting your account or upgrading to pro.

When you reach the end of the Setup process, you’ll see they’ve got a Rank Math Private Facebook group available to you.

I’ve have not joined that Facebook group, simply because I just don’t like to join too many Facebook groups, I’m already in waaaay too many…

But if you need support you might find the Rank math Facebook group useful, so I recommend you join it and it’s free to join.

Now, one more thing I want to point out here is DON’T select Auto update:

I would leave this OFF because if WordPress do a core update (and they do these a LOT) you might find that Rank Math might break.

So I opt to leave this OFF until the plugin developers verify that it’s stable with that particular version of WordPress.

So far, I’ve not run into any compatibility issues with Rank Math and WordPress.

So now we’ve installed Rank Math, what we’ve just done by using the rank math setup wizard, is we’ve just set up RankMath to run optimally with your specific WordPress installation.

These are all the options you should see available to you in the Rank Math dashboard once you’ve completed the initial setup:

As you can see, you’ve got a Rankmath Google analytics module built in.

You can connect your Google Analytics Search Console to Rank Math.

This is one the main benefits of the Rank Math pro version.

There is also a link counter.

It will track how many internal and outbound links are within your content and how many links are coming in that are linking to you from other websites and blogs.

No rankmath review would be complete without showing you the schema markup settings vailable to you inside the rank math plugin.

This is the Schema markup module built right into the Rank Math Seo Plugin and I leave this all as default:

Here’s what’s inside the social module:

You can add in your social media properties there.

You don’t need to, it’s not a requirement, but it is an SEO best practice.

There are pros and cons for doing that which is beyond this blog post.

But the general idea of it is that if Google sees certain authority social media accounts associated with your site, they consider your site to be a genuine website.

This means they will usually rank you higher and index your content faster which is another great feature of Rankmath.

These are all the options that you have built in right within RankMath.

Keep in mind, this is STILL the free version.

I’ve not found another WordPress SEO plugin that has this amount of functionality built in for free without you actually having to pay for the plugin itself.

You’ve also got some XML sitemap settings:

wordpress xml sitemap settings inside rank math

I leave this as default.

I recommend you leave this all as it is.

All of the best seo plugins for wordpress have a XML sitemap module built into it, and Rank Math is has this covered..

However, I wouldn’t mess around with XML sitemap settings unless you really know what you’re doing, this is for expert users.

Rank Math also has an SEO analysis module built into it aswell:

This will do a performance analysis or Audit of your website.

This is one of the benefits of linking your RankMath account.

In any case, to use the on page SEO audit module, you’re going to need the pro version.

So now it would be a good idea to show you the Rank Math Plugin in action.

You’ve seen all the settings and everything else that goes on behind the scenes.

What I want to do now is to show you what it looks like in action.

So we’re going to look at a blog post on my blog and show you what Rankmath actually does.

I’m going to show you now in the back end of what this plugin actually looks like:

Rank Math has a scoring system that goes between zero to 100.

100 being fully optimized and you should try to get as close as possible to 100.

I haven’t managed to get anything up to 100.

I try to keep things above a rank math score of 85.

I wouldn’t go below 85.

Try to keep it above 85, if you can.

What the RankMath will do which is really good, is it will give you a quick glance about where your post currently stands based on the primary keyword you enter into Rankmath.

This is an example of a bad score:

This is based on what Rankmath call a “focus keyword” which in this instance is “clubhouse app”.

If you don’t know what clubhouse is, it’s a new social media app, that’s creating a bit of a buzz at the moment.

And that’s my target Rank math Focus keyword and what RankMath will do is it will give you suggestions about how to optimize your content around that keyword.

Now I just want to clarify something here.

Some of you may be familiar with another WordPress Search Engine Optimization plugin called surfer SEO.

The reason I bring this up, is that they are both very similer in nature, but serve 2 completely different purposes.

Remember, ranking on Google isn’t just about On Page SEO such as Alt tags, Title Tags & Keyword density.

You’re content needs to have Topical relevance.

Keeping in mind this a Rank Math review and not a Surfer SEO review (I’ll cover Surfer in a later blog post)…

Here’s the basic difference…

The Surfer SEO Plugin will analyze your content based on how your competitors rank in terms of TOPICS.

Surfer SEO will make very specific suggestions for how to optimize your content based on the TOPICS your competitors are (or are not) including in their to currently rank above you.

So with Surfer SEO you’re optimizing the topical relevance of your content to ultimately outrank your competitors.

What RankMath does, is it will optimize your on-page seo content (tags, metadata, Schema and XML data) for what Google wants to see.

The Surfer SEO plugin will make suggestions for what topics to include in your content.

This sounds confusing

And both of these plugins work really well together.

Rankmath will optimize your content for Google and Surfer SEO will optimize your content for topical relevance.

If you want to know more about Topical relevance, then this is a good article to read.

Bottom line is… if you use both of these plugins together, you’ll end up with a super powerful piece of content and Google will reward you with better rankings.

So coming back to this Rank Math review for a second…I’ve not found any other SEO plugin that will do anything close to what Rank math will do.

So with that being said, here’s an example of a well optimized Blog post using the Rank Math Seo Plugin.

As you can see, this one has a rating of 92 out of 100:

This is very well search engine optimized optimized content for Google.

It’s an example of good, well optimized content because as you can see, there’s lots of green ticks.

As you can see it contains all the correct metadata information:

As well as a social schema markup module:

This review of the Rank Math Plugin has gone for a lot longer than, I expected at approaching 2,500 words.

So I highly recommend that you take a look at the Rank Math SEO plugin here.

In case you’re wondering what other plugins I use on my website, I’ve got another blog post here that tells you all the wordpress plugins I use on my blog.

So if you’re setting up a new WordPress blog, and you’re wondering what the best wordpress plugins are to install on your blog, you should read that blog post aswell.

Free Zapier Alternative That Actually Works

3:24 pm by Ben Fletcher

If you’re looking for a free Zapier Alternative here’s one a friend told me about on Facebook just the other day.

It looked interesting so I took a closer look at it and was so impressed by it, I’ve created this blog post about it.

What is Zapier?

Zapier is web based application that will connect 2 different systems together.

For example, many of you will know that I use Aweber as my email marketing autoresponder tool.

I also use a helpdesk software to help me keep track of contact messages through this blog. (I use Liveagent for this).

Now supposing, I want to add anybody who contacts me via my support desk and add them into my Aweber account automatically.

Here’s the problem, Liveagent and Aweber don’t have a native integration between them.

In the past, I would have had to list a job posting on a freelancing marketplace and hired someone familiar with coding, to code me a connection between the two applications.

This would be firstly, very expensive, probably a few hundred bucks at least.

It would also be very time consuming aswell, as anybody who has ever posted a job opening on one of those websites will know.

These days, Zapier solved that problem.

Zapier allowed ordinary people like me, with absolutely NO knowledge of code whatsoever to connect 2 applications together in just a few clicks of a mouse.

It was a godsend.

And when Zapier first came into the market, it was very cheap, because they were a new company.

What I don’t think they realised, was just how big of a problem they were solving and they quickly realised people would pay hand over fist for their service and so they cranked their costs up.

So is there a better free Zapier Alternative?

Is their a better Zapier alternative? Yep.

And it’s FREE!

It’s called Integrately.

Integrately is a new Free Zapier Alternative

I’ve recently only just started using Integrately and as a free zapier alternative, I LOVE it!

What Integrations Does Integrately Have?

If you run a similar business to what I do, we’ll both probably be using very similar tools aswell.

Integrately has a bunch of integrations and that’s the thing about Integrately that I was most impressed about and what makes it the best zapier alternative I’ve come across to date.

It’s likey you’ll be using email marketing in your business and probably things like Google Tools, Facebook, Shopping Cart Systems and web page builders.

In the video above, I show you all the integrations that Integrately have but I’ll list a few of them right here:

Email marketing Integrations:

Aweber (what I use)

Convertkit

Mailerlite

Infusionsoft (also known as Keap)

Active Campaign

Sendgrid

Getresponse

Moosend

Mailchimp

And whole bunch more. (see video above)

Shopping Cart & Payment Processor Integrations

Thrivecart

Stripe

Samcart

Clickfunnels

Shipstation for ecommerce

Paypal

And more (see video above)

Helpdesk Service Integrations

Live Agent

Zendesk

And more (see video above)

CRM Integrations

General Business and Marketing Tools Integrations:

Google Calendar

Type Form

Gravity Forms

Jotform

Go To Webinar

Hubspot

These are not the complete list of integrations, if I were to list out every integration they have by hand, I’d be sat here all day, but the ones I’ve listed are most of the popular ones.

If you don’t see the integration you need, I recommend you watch my video above because I go into my Integrately dashboard and you’ll see all the integrations that they have inside that video.

Integrately Reviews:

Who is Integrately Zapier Free Alternative For?

Integrately is for anyone who runs any kind of online Internet business.

If you run an ecommerce website, Affiliate marketing website, Email Marketers and web developers.

I’ve only just started to get into it and start digging around inside it, but so far, it’s arguably the best free Zapier alternative I’ve found.

Link Whisper: How To Rank Affiliate Niche Sites Like A Boss in 2021!

10:45 pm by Ben Fletcher

As an affiliate marketer who uses Google SEO to drive traffic, you’ll understand the landscape is brutally Competitive.

I mean BRUTAL.

We’re constantly looking for ways to get a competitive SEO advantage over other affiliates in the same Niche’s we’re in.

I should probably be keeping my mouth shut about Link Whisper…

It’s true, sharing this probably creates more competition for myself, but I wouldn’t be where I am today if somebody somewhere didn’t share information with me.

So this is my way of giving back.

If you do any kind of SEO, you’ll know there are a TON of Google rankings factors to take into consideration when trying to rank your affiliate niche websites.

By FAR…one of the most powerful ranking factors Google takes into consideration is Internal Linking.

In fact Search Engine Optimization Expert Matthew Woodward listed Internal linking as one of the most influential ranking factors that have the biggest impact on your website rankings.

This is what Matt has to say about the power of internal linking:

“Internal link building is the most powerful SEO tactic you are not using.

It has the power to boost rankings like crazy.

One website used internal linking to increase search traffic by 40% and another website that went from position #33 to #5.”

– Matthew Woodward, SEO Authority Blogger. www.MatthewWoodward.co.uk

And here’s another SEO Expert weighing in on the subject of Internal Linking, Lars Erik Larson, Content Writer at Serp.co said this:

“Internal links = better website architecture = more indexed and higher ranking webpages”.

So, What Is Internal Linking?

Internal Linking in simple terms is simply linking one page or post on your website to another page or post on your website.

One of the core principles that Google lives and dies by, is presenting high quality websites to their searchers.

High Quality doesn’t just mean good content, it also means websites that provide a good user experience to their visitors.

Think about your own experiences on websites, especially when you’re searching for a solution to a problem, is it better to be able to find the information easily accessible in 1 or 2 clicks or go digging around?

This is what Google’s John Mu, said about Internal Linking:

The problem with Internal linking your content, is that it can be a tedious, often time consuming task.

Especially if you have a lot of content on your site.

Going back through your site and first identifying content on your website that doesn’t have any internal links and then finding other relevant content on your site to link to, will take you hours, possibly even days…

Link Whisper To The Rescue!

One of the KEY features of the Link Whisper Plugin for wordpress is the ability to quickly identify pages or posts within your website or blog that have been neglected by Internal linking.

automatic Internal Links plugin wordpress

These pages and posts will be holding your website back from ranking as highly as it could do.

With link whisper, you can literally, in just a few clicks, add custom suggested and highly relevant internal links within the content of those pages, like this:

how to use link whisper for internal linking

You can also insert links within your content automatically too.

Here’s another massive feature of Link Whisper:

Internal Links Reporting!

Another advantage of Link Whisper is the Internal Links Reporting feature.

In the past, if you wanted data about to optimize your site structure and Internal Linking, you’d have to hire an SEO expert to run an SEO Audit on your website.

This type of service can run you well into hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

What Link Whisper will do, is give you a birds-eye snapshot of your website and tell you in seconds what needs fixing.

It will give you an overview of your entire website:

The proprietary Link Whisper Stats dashboard will give you a complete understanding of internal and external links as well as any broken links, errors, or posts that could use some additional internal links.

Do You Want Higher Rankings And More Traffic From Google?

When Ninja outreach implemented and fixed their Internal Linking issues, they saw a huge 40% increase in Organic search traffic from Google.

can internal linking increase google rankings

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen any other SEO tactic result in such a massive increase in traffic so quickly!

Is Link Whisper a WordPress Plugin?

Yes, Link Whisper is a WordPress plugin and therefore is only compatible with websites that run on wordpress (as I understand it).

It’s not suitable for Internal Linking HTML websites (at the time of writing this blog post).

If you have a WordPress Website, it’s really easy to install.

How To Install Link Whisper on Your Website…

Once you’ve purchased Link Whisper, you’ll be given an access link to download it.

Once you’ve done that, follow these 3 steps:

Step 1:

Step 2:

The next step is to ACTIVATE the plugin:

Step 3:

After you’ve completed the above 2 steps, you’ll see Link Whisper ready to use in your wordpress admin sidebar:

That’s it!

I recommend you leave the settings as default.

This is what I do, I leave it all as default because Link whisper is set up to work right out of the box.

You just install it and use it.

It’s truly ‘plug & play’.

Who Is Link Whisper For?

Link Whisper is for Affiliate Marketers, Niche Website Owners, High content authority blogs and even just everyday hobby bloggers who want to improve their on-page SEO and rank higher in Google.

Is Link Whisper Free?

Link Whisper is a premium SEO plugin and it’s not free, but it’s also not expensive either.

Is Adult CPA Marketing and Offers Really Worth The Hassle in 2021?

2:04 pm by Ben Fletcher

A question I see frequently, usually at least twice per week, is the question of promoting Adult CPA Affiliate offers and getting Adult traffic and whether or not it’s worth it.

This is going to be a short and sweet blog post because my answer is going to pretty blunt and probably not what you want to hear.

If you’re even passively interested in promoting Adult Affiliate or CPA offers my advice is don’t bother.

It’s one of the most (if not the most) aggressively competitive markets online.

It’s a BRUTAL vertical where even the BEST affiliates are struggling to make the numbers work.

About 7 or 8 years ago, Adult CPA marketing was INSANELY profitable.

Mainly because traffic in this vertical was still reasonably accessible, at one point, in the early days of Facebook Ads I saw affiliates managing to get Adult Ads approved on Facebook.

These days, you’ll probably get your account shut down.

Actually, there’s no ‘probably’ about it, you absolutely WILL undoubtedly lose your account if you attempt anything close to Adult CPA on Facebook in 2021.

in 2010-13 it was still highly competitive in those days, but nowhere near as competitive as it is in today’s world.

Not even close.

It’s nearly impossible to get traffic for Adult CPA offers in 2021

You’ve got no chance of running Ads on Tier 1 traffic sources like Google Ads or Facebook and most Tier 2 traffic sources aswell.

By “Tier 2” I’m referring to traffic sources like 7 Search (no longer even exists), Looksmart, POF (Plenty of Fish) DirectCPV and others.

With Tier 1 and Tier 2 traffic sources out of the question, that just leaves specialist sources like Adult CPA networks themselves.

Whilst these networks cater to Adult offers, every other affiliate and their dog in this vertical are on them aswell, this means you’ll pay TOP dollar just to even slightly compete and the margins for profit are tiny.

You’d be competing against other advertisers with serious clout.

I’ve seen affiliates pooling $10K daily budgets just to test what marginally works.

And due to the fact Adult media buying traffic is at the TOP end of Premium and because it’s so expensive, the margin’s for profit are tiny.

I only knew 1 person who made serious money online in the Adult market and he owned his own network and had an army of affiliates pushing his offer.

As the years went by and the industry became more and more competitive and costs continued to climb, most of his affiliates “abandoned ship” and in the end, he shut his OWN network down.

It’s THAT tough.

Probably only the TOP 1% of Affiliates are making money in the Adult vertical and most of them are extreme black hat Affiliates.

If you’ve never heard of the term “Black Hat” before, keep your eye out for a new post on my blog where I’ll cover it in detail.

I would never say NEVER try…because you might stumble upon a method that other affiliates have missed.

Although I can’t think what could have been missed, because every conceivable Adult CPA method, hack or loophole under the sun has been exhausted to within an inch of it’s life.

I would go as far as to say, I’d rather eat a jar full of Jalepeno Chillies than try and compete in the Adult CPA Niche in 2021.

If you’re looking for highly profitable Affiliate marketing Niches that you can still compete in, here’s a list of some of the most profitable I’ve found and you can still get Tier 1 & Tier 2 traffic for most of these.
