So back the update! optinboxdesign has been up and running so far now and my figures are still same in terms of Revenue which is $0.0
This is not worrying as I am pretty confident in what I am offering and in due course I will start reaping the benefits of my hardwork. To do this first I need customers! Everybody does right?
So how do I get this customers? I have to first of all get some TRAFFIC! This now brings me to what I have been upto with optinboxdesign.
Keyword research
I have since searched online on how to do some basic SEO and how to get my website rank higher for some keywords I got someone off fiverr to do some research for me which I was quite impressed with the results and the detail of which he provided me with and what to target and what not to target. So if you want to save off Market Samurai you can get a market research done for a fiverr. Dont say I didnt tell you
Doing the actual SEO
So the next thing was to put in place the keywords he gave me. I’m going to be honest im a total noob in terms of SEO so I didnt know what to do with the keywords he gave. Thats when I continued searching and I stumble upon a WSO for an impressive SEO agency. Yeah ive heard so many bad things about so called SEO-gurus’ etc, but from his reviews and all I thought I might as well give this guy a chance plus before I emailed him with all my questions and he was quick to respond and advice me on what to order.
I went with the offer and ordered his monthly package which includes the following :
This was mainly to save time doing the work myself (which I dont know how to , or learn how to) but primarily it was because I had never outsourced to an SEO team and I was wondering if all the myths about them were true.
I will report back on everything, including the stats and rankings of certain keywords when my first report will be due by the end of this month.
If they arent satisfactory I might go with my initial plan, in regards to SEO which was to deconstruct their offer and outsource each part. This will be more time consuming in terms of getting the right workers and monitoring them but the savings will offset the efforts.
What I could do will be to search for individual providers who could:
-write articles
-build backlinks
-build web 2.0 sites
-social bookmarking
-forum marketing
-and so on
I could get individual users from fiverr for each or from odesk, monitor them using google spreadsheets and pay them weekly. This action plan will depend on the initial report from SEO juice. By the way the company I am outsourcing the SEO to is called SEO Juice
Optimize the page with keywords
Meanwhile the first thing I had to fix on the page was to “stuff” it with as most keywords as possible while still making sense . Here’s a screen shot before and after that way you get to see what ive done with it so far. Click to view image
What will I be doing meanwhile?
While I have the guys from SEO Juice work on the SEO side of things I will go out and build rapports with bloggers out there. I will be doing more of:
-Insightful comments
-Social media sharing
-Guest posts
Why? People buy because of the person behind the product, no matter how awesome the product is [unless your selling water/food] So this is a long term plan, I might not even get an order soon which I am not aiming for, but when I start getting a foothold in people’s minds I will be getting many more via referrals which for me is the most effective form of marketing!
So until the next update. See you guys around probably in your comment sections

Hey Martin,
I think what your best bet can be for this, is to guest post on good sites.
As many people are not very fond of having the same content published on other place (not even on your own site) what you can do is write different posts around the same subject of list building.
Then try submitting those to different blogs that are as apart from each other as possible so you get maximum exposure to different people.
Blog comments is going to take a lot of time and at best, they can reply to your comment and that’s as far as they go.
I know this, because I do a LOT of blog hopping myself.
While social media sharing does actually works, is like fishing with a sausage as a bait,
It is very hard to get the absolute right offer, in front of the right people, at the right time.
My best bet around this, would be like I told you on another article.
To check out the warrior forum, sell it for VERY cheap there to entitle buyers, testimonials and build rapport around the product.
Once things start to get going, let affiliates promote it for you for up to 75% commission and let it nurture for a few days.
After you see a dropout on incoming sales, just put it for approval at ClickBank and put the final price tag on it.

Thanks for the input Sergio! Also thanks for stopping by! I think I will start off with guest posting articles on list building and the benefits of having optin boxes. Now I see how this can work out but before I will have to build up the portfolio of the website!
About the warrior forum and clickbank am not to sure about how that will work out. Will be grateful if you could expand more on that!
Thanks man
Martin,
i see you have been a busy busy beaver building and coding. You site looks very clean. Looks good.
I think you are smart to hire people for the things you don’t know how to do. Especially if you are dealing with time constraints and a learning curve. SEO isn’t that difficult but you can always learn along the way while someone else does the work until you get a knack for it if that is what you want.
