I am delighted to welcome Internet Marketing Expert Greg Jeffries to the Optimistic Entrepreneur Podcast. Having seen the success Greg was having (he publishes his income reports), I was very keen to get him on to the podcast as a guest to ask him about his marketing strategies.
Greg is a very successful internet marketer who is focusing on Affiliate marketing using very focused SEO and Long Tail Keywords.
In June 2015 Greg made $1,548.08
In August 2017, just two years later, he made $18,034.23
[In the show reel, I have provided a summary of his earnings over the last two years by affiliate programme so that you can see exactly where he has been making his money and this may help you to decide where to focus your efforts. Incidentally, I have done the same with another internet marketer, Mark Woodward.]
There is something seriously smart going on and I wanted to find out more.
Greg is very open about his approach and helps us to understand why is affiliate marketing business is so successful. Greg is very much focused on Long Tail SEO for his marketing activities.
In particular, Greg focuses on Transactional keywords (intent) and by going after the long tail, he has less competition which greatly improves his organic search results and ranking in Google.
Greg has a very systematic approach
- He understands SEO
- He identifies niches and acquires domains with niche keywords
- He creates a niche website
- He identifies the competitive and profitable keywords associated with that niche using Keyword.io (I also use Market Samurai)
- He gets his on page SEO right
- He gets his off page SEO right, particularly with some neat back linking strategies
- He tracks his progress with Google Analytics
