    OEP 009 SEO Affiliate Domination with Internet Marketing Expert Greg Jeffries

    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 He identifies and promotes affiliate products, particularly identifying attractive products in Affiliate networks He builds and cultivates an email list. He scales his content distribution Find Out More About Greg

I have done a similar exercise for successful internet marketer Mark Woodward, summarising his earnings in 2017.

The Podcast for Online Tutors

I've been listening to this podcast for nearly a year so it must be good! John Colley is an amiable host who puts his guests at ease which means that they are happy to share their nuggets of wisdom for online course creators.

I come away from each episode with a handful of tips, tricks, ideas and strategies for creating and promoting online courses.

Intelligent, entertaining and informative

I like this podcast, there's a nice variety of guests, book reviews and non-formulaic interviews. This is different from the US style ‘make millions online’ podcasts. Think of it as freshly brewed coffee compared to a freeze dried instant sachet.

John is ace. His style and manner are inspirational and well worth subscribing to.
