At this point I’m sure you have heard me mention parasite hosting. In fact day 6 is all about parasite hosting - but in day 6 the focus is really on building links to your sites.
For this part of things we are going to use those same place to just “test” out offers. Think you can rank well for a particular brand of toaster but don’t have the energy to go all out? Well that’s where something like squidoo can come into play.
Make a page or a LENS about the toaster and do a few minutes of promotion. Here is a ticket to squidoo success for example.
- Make a lens with 5 to 10 moduals. Make sure there are links going to your ‘toaster’ link.
- Give it as many tags as allowed (40 if memory serves).
- Join a couple groups.
- Give the lens some links (I use bookmarking demon).
Then just let it sit - If in a month your ranking for the term and have a few sales you’ve found a new market…. and you have a place to link to right off the bat.
I know at some point someone is going to leave a comment and say “hey why not just use parasite hosting and have no sites of your own?”. My answer: That’s stupid since you own NOTHING at the end of the day.
Time to go back to “Day 6″ and come up with some ways of your own to expand this. If you are like me and don’t like ‘working’ to benefit just the parasite hosting companies you should take a look at how I do this.
Working with wordpress MU and Parasite Hosts.
I know your looking for some ‘magic’ answer here but there isn’t… the good news is you can test out (and earn) in just a few minutes using places like squidoo. It takes maybe 10 minutes to create a lens. Maybe 10 minutes to tag and join groups, and 5 minutes to build some links. If you don’t have bookmarking demon just use any social networking service you like.

Thanks for pointing this out. I just a few things through walmarts affiliate program. Never would have thought of that if you hadn’t mentioned it in the newsletter.
The coolest part is that I sold things I wasn’t even selling. They were looking for toasters apparently but bought a printer instead.
Gotta love the walmart.
