Hi,Â
Here is another email I recieved this week. I have edited it to
give you the jist of it.
Greetings Mr. Beck,
…What I REALLY want to do is start up a website company. I
have several passions: homeschooling #1, scrapbooing, quilting
and knitting. I am always told I would make a great homeschool
consultant. But I would be willing to try anything.
I learn pretty fast and I am really loving reading all about
internet business. Being realistic, I see for every ten sites
starting up probably only one makes it.
My number one problem is not having cash or space to carry
inventory and number two is how to find products that are not
already saturated on the web.
I’d also like to know how much the membership site would cost?
I appreciate your willingness to share with us newbies.Â

Here is what I wrote back…
Cheryl,
As far as your niche goes, homeschooling is a hard niche because
homeschoolers are notorious for not wanting to spend money. Also,
unless you are already a recognized expert, it is hard to be a
consultant.
That said, there are still products that are in high demand and
have a relatively high markup. Meaning, you will get more bang
for your time spent if you choose a course that you make $50 from
as opposed to a book that you make $5 from. So here is my advice:
Step #1
Choose a high demand homeschool product that has a high markup
(Of course it has to be something you can resell or get an
affiliate commission from)
Step #2
Write a COMPLETE review on it and create a one page web site with
that review. You have to be known as the resident homeschool mom
expert on that product.
Step #3
Do your keyword research and optimize your one page web site for
those keywords (use wordtracker). Then add an email capture box
(use aweber) and a shopping cart (use paypal) to your one page
site.
Step #4
Write some articles that are optimized for your secondary
keywords and submit those to article directories on the internet.
This will lead people back to your website and provide those all
important backward links that the search engines like so much!
Step #5
Find forums that discuss that product and become the forum expert
with a tactful link to your site in the signature
Will this take some time? Yes.
Will this cost some money? Yes.
Will this be worth it? It depends on how much work you are
willing to put in to it.

As you probably already know, I am launching my Websites Secrets
University Membership site this coming Tuesday, 9/19/2006 at 12
noon Pacific Standard Time.
From Tuesday at Noon until Sunday at Midnight, I will be offering
a REDUCED RATE for the Websites Secrets University Membership
site. You will only have FIVE DAYS to get in on the REDUCED RATE.
The rate will go up to normal on Sunday (9/24/2006) at one minute
past Midnight.
Why am I launching this membership site….?
BECAUSE I CAN NOT CONTINUE TO ANSWER INDIVIDUAL EMAILS
WITH THE IN-DEPTH ANSWERS THAT ARE REQUIRED!
Let’s face it. There are many of you that are so close to making
an income on the internet, but you do not know how to get
started. You need some direction. You need some good advice.
Some of you need to be told that your business idea won’t fly!
That is what the Websites Secrets University Membership – Gold
Level is for. We will get on the phone together every month to
answer all of your questions as well as have me share things you
need to start doing.
You will have access to video tutorials that teach you how to use
tools and resources, you have access to audios of the best
marketers on the planet sharing their wisdom, you have access to
our private forum where you can ask me or others in the group
questions or advice and you will have access to IN DEPTH product
reviews.
Now you may be thinking…”But I need PERSONAL attention!”
Let me let you in on a little secret. You can learn a TON by
listening to other people just like you on the call asking
questions about their business. Many times newbies don’t even
know the right questions to ask, but after hearing questions from
other people and seeing those people in action, their mind really
kicks into high gear!
Many people don’t even ask questions on a call, so the chances of
us talking about your particular online business are VERY GOOD!
But remember, you will only have 5 days to get in on the reduced
rate. As I said before, I want to start off with a bang and the
best way to do that is to reward those who join early. After the
REDUCED RATE DEADLINE is up, the price goes back to the regular
rate.
Also, we will have bonuses for REALLY FAST MOVERS! I will let you
know about those later!
So here is the address for my new Websites Secrets University
Membership site. Bookmark it now, so you can find it FAST on
Tuesday, Sept 19 at NOON!
It will have a countdown clock now, but I will activate it on
Tuesday at NOON.

Oh…and as to Cheryl’s last question. The membership will cost
$17 per month if you purchase by the deadline. After that it goes
up to the regular rate of $27 per month.
Blessings,
Stephen Beck
PS…The Websites Secrets University Membership opens it doors in
less than 28 hours!

Steve,
Just thought I would let you know why I have been so busy lately. It all started with your Secrets to Websites that Sell course early this summer. Here’s what’s happened since diving into this course with a vengence.
1. My puny little one page Ministry Website with no traffic and no ranking now is Number 1 of 81,600 websites on Google for my primary keyword and is listed a total of 5 times on the 1st page. For my secondary keyword I am again number 1 of 162,000 pages with a total of 6 of the top 10 spots referring to my not so puny but still not perfect website.
2. By applying a few of your techniques to my Ebay Store and listings my Ebay Sales have been exploding. I’m now a Powerseller and on my way to the Silver level
3. By listening to the Free information on Blogging that you sent as a Free Gift with the orginal Course, I was able to start the Wimpy Witness Blog which in turn enabled me to get those great rankings on Google and set-up some affilliates.
4. I have also been submitting articles to online ezines.
5. My 15 year old son is now going through the course and designing his own Website and Blog.
Again, I wanted to say Thank you for your Life Changing Course and also I wanted to let you know …..IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT THAT I’M SO BUSY.
God Bless
