Neil Shearings - Auto Income Secrets

Auto Income Secrets

Hi,

Welcome to the first review of this new blog.

This first review is of a new informative ebook released by Neil Shearing.

Auto Income Secrets

Neil is a successful and well-respected UK Internet Marketer and is known for his integrity and the quality of his products.

I'll try to keep this review as short as I can, while keeping it as informative as possible.


One thing I should point out about the strategy layed-out in Neils product is that it's not just another way to make junk sites for Adsense. The sites created CAN include some scraped information, but the focus in on unique content that will be useful to your visitors, and NOT banned by the search engines because of the use of an automated site creation tool.

If you're short of time and just want to find out whether there's anything new in this product for you, here's a quick summary of what is covered:


*** Summary Of Auto Income Secrets Product ***

Keyword Research (theory, and 2 product recommendations)

Webpage Content Creation (Using ArticleBot - If you've used Articlebot, you'll know that it isn't the simplest tool to use effectively, so you'll appreciate Neils insight and detail in this section. If you haven't used it - take a look (Really!))

Website Creation (Using XSitePro)

Getting Indexed and Noticed in the Search Engines (Covers Links, PageRank, and Article Announcer)


There are bonuses which I'll let you find out about for yourself.

So, you can probably see that Neil has added some great value to what is a busy marketplace. Don't take that summary lightly - Neil has put a LOT of information into this product (140 pages worth) and he's gone into an amazing amount of detail and made everything understandable using examples and pictures throughout, to ensure that even the use of the tools in question will be achievable by everyone.


So that was the short version.... Grab yourself a coffee and get ready for the full review. There's not another review of this product on the Internet that will give you all of this information, so take the time to read it when you can give it your full attention.

Before I get into the review, I'll give you my perception of the site creation and Adsense income arena right now.

You CAN make money from Adsense, let's just get that straight right away. However, it's not as simple as making a minisite with junk pages and putting Adsense on it. It's not even as simple as throwing up Adsense code onto any old sites you already have and hoping you'll make $1000 a day.

If you've bought-in to the Adsense income hype but don't actually know anyone personally that is making decent revenue from Adsense - be very careful who you listen to. There's a LOT of misinformation, and there are a LOT of people NOT making any significant income from Adsense.

I'll say right now that I wouldn't recommend anyone drop everything they're doing to sit at home building Adsense sites all day, and not do anything else.
In all probability, that would actually make you some good money - but it won't build you a business.

You may disagree with my thinking on this, but that's fine. I know that there are people who only care about what they can make right now, and aren't really bothered about building a business. I'm not going to judge anyone for having their own opinion, and I hope you won't judge me for mine.

My recommendation is that whatever strategy you use, consider the wider implications and what your long-term plans are, rather than jumping on whatever the latest thing is all the time.

Here's what I would suggest: Go ahead and make your adsense sites, using as robust a technique as you can (Neils technique is one of the best you'll have seen in this respect), but MAKE SURE YOU TRACK YOUR TRAFFIC. There are tracking tools that will not only tell you where people came from, but where they clicked (including Adsense clicks). Once you get a site that has traffic coming to it, you can use that valuable information to determine whether you can optimise the income from the site better by offering affiliate products, or even better - by creating your own products (or obtaining resale rights to someone elses), and offering links to those in place of the Adsense Ads. This way you can be getting the full amount that those visitors are spending, rather than a few cents a click for sending them away. If you can see that giving them a newsletter/ezine to subscribe to would create a responsive list - do that too.

I guess all I'm saying is don't be blinded by the reports of nice Adsense income that you're seeing - the opportunity to make money is MUCH larger than that.

Adsense sites are GREAT research tools (when you track them).


Ok, I said I was going to review Neils product so I'll stop waffling about myself and get started :) (But I do consider myself fairly uniquely placed to be able to review Neils product, already being familiar with both the strategies and tools he mentions)


***FULL Auto Income Secrets Product Review***

We'll start at the beginning and go from there.


"The Low Hanging Fruit Yields The Sweetest Rewards"
You probably know by now that many high-paying Adsense markets are so competitive that you'd be wasting your time trying to compete?

Neil knows this and rather than try and tell you about the highest paying keywords there are, he's taken the more realistic approach and shown you how to pick the low hanging fruit (those markets you CAN reach).

If you're thinking that you've 'tried' Adsense sites before but not been successful - let me just ask you one quick question: Did you create more than 30 sites? If you didn't, you never really tried it fully.

You've probably heard it before, but I'm going to say it again - IT'S A NUMBERS GAME.

If you seriously want a massive Adsense income, you need to take it seriously and give it your full attention (for a while at least, until you can put some systems in place that automate/outsource it for you).

Obviously, Neil doesn't sit at home all day making Adsense time - his time is worth more than that, and he's already a successful Internet Marketer making good money from his existing product range (most of which I've bought, and some of which I've bought resale rights to - they're all good).

So, don't think that because he doesn't make sites all day, that you shouldn't listen to him. In fact, the fact that he doesn't need to make sites should indicate that you SHOULD listen to him.

Right, back to the review (I was about to apologise for giving you my personal opinion as I type, but hey! it's my review :) )

So, we know that Neil's created this product to help you, not because he needs the money, and that his advice is realistic, not just focused on the high-paying keywords.

With the subject on keywords - here's where Neil gets started and ensures that you get your keyword research and selection correct. This is such a vital aspect of making money from niche sites that to overlook it would have been remiss. Luckily Neil is a switched-on cookie and he knows it's no good getting keywords that give $10 a click if you can't get traffic to them.

Neil has made a few suggestions for where you can get pre-researched keywords and also do your own research.

One service mentioned is 'Topkeywordlists' which is now run by fellow Brit Matt Garrett. I've met Matt and he's a good guy and will look after you.

** Here's a tip from me **
Ebay is a great place to see what markets are hot right now. You can get yourself a free report from Ebay, released every month, that lists their hottest Ebay markets.
Here's the link: pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/hotitems.pdf

If you're after a tool that will make finding low hanging Adsense fruit a snap, check this tool out: Online Gold Finder

Neil goes into a lot of detail in his keyword research section and I believe he's made it so simple that anyone should be able to get past the first hurdle of - "How do I choose a niche/keyword to target?". You might be surprised how many people struggle with that.


WEBPAGE CREATION.

This refers to webpage 'content' creation rather than website creation.

Neil has selected an excellent tool for this - Articlebot.

You may not be familiar with Articlebot, but I can tell you it's an excellent tool.

About a year ago, the creator (Don) wouldn't release this to the public. He knew how powerful it was, but also that many people wouldn't realise that power and would want to haggle over price, and it's a pretty complicated piece of software and he also knew he'd need to provide a lot of support.

I hassled Don for quite a while and eventually got him to let me buy a copy for $500. (it still wasn't publicly available at this point)

I loved it and told him that he really should reconsider letting people access it.

A few months later, he started selling it, and a while after that came out with a server-side version which people could 'subscribe' to use.

So, now YOU can get access to it and I recommend you do. It's amazingly powerful and well worth taking the time to get used to.

Fortunately, if you get Neils report - he's actually taken the time to run through step-by-step how to get all of the important stuff done (like providing randomized images and content, scraped results, and much more).

Even if you're just an Articlebot user and not bothered about the rest of this product - it's worth it to get Neils details on how to use it effectively.


SITE CREATION

This is the bit that you may be used to seeing automated site creation tools used.

Neil has gone for XSitePro. Again, I'm familiar with this product and have met the creator (Paul Smithson) several times. Xsitepro is a must-have tool for the modern day marketer. It's like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, and a bunch of other tools all wrapped into one excellent tool. The price is great, the creator is a really nice guy, and very switched-on to marketing. You can't ask for a better tool than this - Great choice Neil.

Neil takes you through the steps of creating a website with XsitePro and importing the ArticleBot content that was previously generated.

Once again, Neils step by step description and detail will ensure that anyone will be able to follow them and create a great site in a short time.

The resulting sites are unique, search engine optimised, and contain changing content - the search engines love this type of content.

XSitePro also has a bunch of great features that ensure you get the best result, and even a built-in 'Google-Ready' Sitemap.


GETTING INDEXED AND NOTICED

To me, this is one of the most important elements of any site creation strategy. No matter how much effort you put into your research and site creation - unless people see your site, no money can be made, no business can be built. This is critical!

** My additional tip **
There are several things you can do to ensure your website 'grows' on its own once it's finished, these included:

Having a forum (if your market is one where people like to talk about things - every post they make will add a new page to your site - that page can include Adsense),

Having a link-exchange facility (you want people to link to you, so make it easy and give them the information you want them to use to link back to you)

Having an article directory (This is another great way to let people add keyword-rich content to your site for you) - Check your bonuses after you purchase to find a nice surprise.

(I have an article directory script being modified right now, to include a unique new viral link-building strategy. Members of Link Advantage will get it free)

Neil tells you all about links and PageRank, so you should be in a good position to realise the importance of this aspect and do something about it.

Article Announcer - Neils tool of choice for getting links back to your sites. It's a complete package from another Internet Marketer which includes much more than just the piece of software that Neil shows you how to use.


Neil concludes with a bonus report which you'll find VERY interesting, and some free research tools designed to help you use the system he's covered.


Conclusion:

As I expected, this is a top-notch product from Neil. You could probably tell by my comments above that I'm impressed with how well he's covered things.

The tools he's used are tools I've used myself and they are perfect for the strategy Neil shows. They NOT the same as most of the strategies you'll see elsewhere, although the system is focused on Adsense revenue.

If you're new to building Adsense sites - I can't recommend this product highly enough, but just be aware that if you don't have the tools covered - you'll need to buy them to use this strategy. But that really shouldn't be a problem because the tools Neil has used are all excellent tools in their own right that can be used for so much more anyway. They're the best of the best tools at what they do.

Auto Income Secrets gets a massive thumbs-up from me. (9.5 out of 10 - no-one gets 10 :) )

I hope that helps you make your decision.

Andy Henry
