There is a lot more to this episode as well, but it won't fit into this blurb, so hit play, and lets get you on the road to solid success!

Resources Mentioned in the Show
 

 

>>> LongTail Pro - This tool was recommended in the show by Michael, and I had never used it before. Now I have. It is absolutely killer. I was able to begin ranking content on page #1 almost immediately. I will link you straight to the how-to tutorials so you can see how this works. Awesome, thanks Michael!  On the show I mentioned that I would find you a discount on this. I have gone out and done that, so if you are interested in the product, this is the link you will want to use. (I am not making any money on any of the products mentioned here by the way.) +_+

 

 

>>> Market Samurai - This tool is perfect for you if you are a very technical type. If you are not, I recommend LongTail Pro (above) or Adwords (below). Here is the video I use personally as a reference for finding niches for new online businesses. It will also give you an idea of what Market Samurai is, and what you can do with it.

 

 

>>> Google Adwords - This is a free tool for keyword analysis. I have used Adwords my whole career. It has come a long way, and is now really easy to use and understand. This course will give you an idea of what keyword research is, and why it is so important to all of us when starting out online. It will not tell you what is 'easy to rank for' like LongTail Pro will (above), but it will get your feet wet in a very comprehensive way.

 

 

>>> We mention the three guides Michael used to catapult himself into his success. these are they! This will take a few days (and be a little tedious), but what better way could you spend your first time in the industry than finding out how to get loads of laser focused free traffic?

1 - The QuickSrout SEO guide - by Neil Patel. A must read. Its recent. Its relevant, and will not lead you astray.

2 - Yoast's WP SEO guide - This would be relevant to you only if you chose to go with a WordPress themed site (which I recommend for sure). If not, skip this one. ;p

3 - Google's own SEO guide - When optimizing for Google, its hard to go wrong with the PDF written by.... well.... Google!
