***NOTE - the Web Prosperity launch date has been postponed until Monday 13th Jan. This means you can register for free to lock in your position before them. ***
Just a quick post to let you know that a new program has been added to the Plug-In Profit site affiliate center (back office).
That program is called Web Prosperity and it launches in the New Year.
The good news is that you can sign up right now for web prosperity and lock in a position, then check it out and decide whether or not it is right for you before it launches next year.
All you need to do is visit Web Prosperity and enter your name, email and preferred username. Then login to the Plug-In Profit affiliate center and add your ID.
If you do this now you have nothing to lose and you can decide later whether or not you want to add this new income stream in 2009.
This will probably be my last PIPS blog post this year, so have a good Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) !!

Can you run a Plug-In Profit Site on a Budget
Today I am going to talk about running the Plug-In Profit Site on a budget.
I have seen many posts in the Plug-In Profit forum that say things like "I've spend thousands of dollars and haven't made a dime" or "I've been doing this for 2 months, spent all my money and I'm going to quit!
Spending money doesn't equate to success and I actually recommend holding back on spending any money on marketing until you have done a bit of learning and understand things a little better.
The minimum cost of running a Plug-In Profit Site is $24.95 per month for web hosting and $15 per year for your domain name. If you don't have this money to spend, then the Plug-In Profit site is not for you.
If your marketing budget is zero then I recommend the following plan of action:
ZERO BUDGET - PLAN OF ACTION
One Time Tasks:
(1) Choose some keywords for your website and include these keywords on your home page. You will need to learn a little bit of HTML and a little bit about SEO. You can sign up for my free SEO Email Course here and download my free SEO Guide for the Plug-In Profit Site here.
(2) Create an account with a free service such as OnlyWire and register with all the social bookmarking sites (should take 2hrs and you only need to do it once).
(3) Start a blog on Blogger and transfer it to your website using these instructions. If you are technically minded set up a Wordpress blog on your site instead.
Regular Weekly Tasks:
(1) Write two short articles per week. The article should be 400-500 words long and should be on the topic of home business, making money, working from home. Add an author resource box at the end of the article that includes a link to your website and your blog. If you can't manage 2 articles, do 1 instead.
(2) Submit each of your articles to article directories (search Google for "article directories" to find these). This will get you links to your site (helps your search engine rank) and potentially some visitors who read your article and follow the link to your website.
(3) Write 2-3 short blog posts per week. They can be around 100-300 words. If you don't have a blog start one at http://www.blogger.com/
(4) Use the social bookmarking tool mentioned above (OnlyWire) to bookmark each blog post after you have made it. This will get you some links to your blog post (backlinks) and may get you a surge of traffic if your post was interesting.
This is a simple plan and should only take you around 1 hour per day, or 6-7 hours per week. It costs absolutely nothing and if you continue to follow this plan for a few months you will see your traffic grow.
The important thing is to be persistent and focused. Don't start doing any other marketing until you have completed these tasks each week.

Backlink Building - Part One
This blog post is part of a series of getting backlinks to your website.
A backlink is simply a link from another website to your website and it has the benefit of pushing your website up in the search engine rankings.

To get the most benefit from backlinks you should make sure that you have chosen some good keywords and optimized your website. If you are not sure how to do this register for my free ABCs of SEO Email Course OR order the Plug-In Profit Site SEO Update.
The most common ways to get backlinks are by:
- Writing articles containing a resource box with your URL and distributing them
- Posting in forums that allow a link in your signature
- Submitting your website to directories
- Exchanging Links
- Commenting on peoples' blogs
All these methods are well documented online and most webmasters know that these are excellent ways to get backlinks.
In this series of backlink building blog posts over the next few months I will share some other ways to get backlinks that you may not have thought of before.
Hopefully each time you read a backlink building post of mine you can go ahead and use this method to get a backlink as soon as you have finished reading.
Today's backlink technique is Qassia.
Qassia is a popular site with a high page rank that allows you to create an account and add information known as "Intel". Intel is basically knowledge and can be about anything you like from people, to places, companies, business, hobbies - whatever you want to write about. You can write content that has been published before or unique unpublished content.
Each piece of content you add is unedited and gets rated by users. Benefits for you include:
(1) A good quality backlink for your website (for each piece of intel added)
(2) 100% of the revenue generated from any of your intel pages
(3) Credits to help you rank better in Qassia
To get started just open a free Qassia account, enter details in your profile and submit your first piece of intel.
The result - a free backlink on a PR5 website to one of your websites in less than 10 minutes :-)
