Ok let’s get back to me helping you make some money!

Another little trick to making money online without your own product is by using a review site.

What in the world is a review site and how can it make me money?

Please pay careful attention to what I’m about to say because it is extremely valuable if you actually use it.

See a review site is just what the name implies it is a review of a product, service or a person.

See review sites are really the workhorses of the Internet. Think about it, go to Amazon.com and find any book and their will most likely be a review of it.

Do you think Amazon knows something about selling that may be you don’t?
 
This is what is called social proof, because we are influenced as much by the actions of others as ourselves.

Don’t believe me?

Did you do something as a teenager because your friends were doing it?  Yes

Where you ever asked if your friends jumped of a bridge would you do it?   Yes

Did you have your first taste of beer because it tasted good or was it because somebody else did it first? Yes

Did you ever buy something because somebody else you has it or recommended it? YES

Do you see were I’m going with this.

This is social proof in action and it doesn’t stop there.

We are just programmed from birth to think this way.  There are so many things going on in your world that your brain has to be selective about what it can process. One of the ways it can shorten the process time is by following what others have done.

It seems safe, right?
 
Now how can social proof help you make more money?

Now lets let’s look at the second issue at hand

I don’t think I ever went online with my credit card in hand looking to spend money on something.

The truth is people naturally don’t get online looking to spend money they go online looking for information and to solve problems they have.

Here’s just more proof of that.

Just look at the number of people doing online research before they ever buy a car, apartment, home, an appliance or about anything you can think of.

They do research before they spend money.

I want to spend two weeks in Mexico this winter, the first thing I did was start looking up information online before I even called a travel agent.

I hope the light bulb clicks on with all the possibilities that are available to you.

Now with that out of the way what is your first thing we need to do to setup a review site?

This will also go for anything you ever do to make some real money and not settle for the table scarps that most people get.
***Find a market that has desperate buyers in a niche***

You want to find buyers who have problems that keep them a wake at night.

Think about all the people getting pick slips in America right now. They have to find a job right?

Look at how many diet books are out there right now. Do you think the next one is going to be any better then the last one?

Go to a local bookstore and ask what is the best selling non-fiction book and you will find a great market.

How about the people who are going into foreclosure? Do they need some kind of help?

How about kids getting into college? How is it going to be paid for?

(MARKETING NOTE- There is some insane money to be made with Commission Junction and Hydra Media when it comes to getting people to sign up for school applications and college loans, go where the money is)

OR

***find a market with people are truly passionate something***

There are certain markets that people would punch you in the face or fight you rather change the brand of golf balls they are willing to use.

Think about Nascar, golf, hockey or football fans, these people will sit in the rain, heat, snow what ever it takes to see there team or driver win.

Think about people who exercise everyday they are passionate and dedicated to it.

My 71-year-old grandmother will scream at the TV when the Atlanta Braves are playing ball telling the player what to do. See knows every players name and number.

She is truly passionate about the Atlanta Braves no matter how good or bad the season is.

So the key is to find a market that you can serve with great information and who is willing to pay for it.

Just a tip here that will save you a lot of time. There is lots of opportunities out there and make sure you go after one that is evergreen. An evergreen market is one that will have a need for your product today as much as they will in the future.

Once you find your market you need to see about creating your site. There are a number of ways to do this.

If you have lots of time and money to waste you can actually create your own review software. The big problem with this is it’s a pain in the behind, it takes a lot of money and if you have any kind of bugs or scripting issues you’re probably going to be stuck.

Or if you have a lot of time and aren’t really concerned about results you can always get some blog plug-in hacked to do reviews. I have been down this route and the issue is plug-ins is not specifically set up to do reviews.  And on top of that word press is not set up as a review platform. WordPress is CMS software and really does not function very well outside of that scope.

The few WordPress plug-ins that I actually got to work with my review sites had one very major disadvantage and that is they weren’t set up to monetize the traffic.

This means I was working hard getting traffic and clicks but there were no money coming in. So you can create reviews if you’re not concerned about making money then the WordPress plug-in is fine. But unfortunately that rules me out.

What you need is a piece of software that is dedicated to doing one thing and one thing only – to make you money setting up review sites. There are some other review type scripts out there the issue is most of whom have serious problems and don’t work and need to be tweaked and will make you want to pull your hair out if you have any left after the first few hours. Time is money and there is no need to set something up if it is not going to work. You have wasted you time and money.

The only one that I’ve ever used that I really like and that has personally made money for me is Review Crusher.
