Like I mentioned a week ago, I’m currently doing a limited-time sale on the bulk of my Kindle books.
Last time, I dropped the prices on the four titles related to building an Internet business.
Now, you can get three of my “Kindle publishing” books for $.99. If you’ve ever been interested in generating an income from Amazon, then you’ll definitely want to grab these books while they’re discounted at a 67% savings.
Here are the details…
Welcome to another update of the Authority Internet Business case study.
So far, we’ve talked about how to lay the foundation for a successful website. In today’s post, we’ll shift gears and take that first step towards monetizing this brand new business.
Whereas most Internet experts recommend spending months preparing for a formal “website launch,” I like to start promoting as soon as possible.
Specifically, I recommend Kindle publishing as the perfect mechanism for getting that initial burst of traffic and income.
To illustrate this point, I’ll detail the specific strategies I used to launch my first book on Amazon. Plus, I’ll provide exact numbers and an important lesson I learned during this process.
Let’s get to it.
A lot can happen in a year.
This time last year, I decided to launch my second Kindle book on my birthday (June 28th).
Now, one year and 30 books later, I’ve managed to turn Kindle publishing into a nice little side business.
To commemorate this milestone, I’ve decided to hold a series of sales where you can get many of my Kindle books at a deeply discounted rate.
Here are the details…
You can learn a lot about an authority Internet business by studying the niche site model.
What niche sites do really well is they leverage the power of search engines like Google. By targeting keyword phrases and building content around them, it’s not hard to get a lot of free traffic.
So while I don’t think you should solely focus on Google, I still think it’s important to make search engine optimization (SEO) one tool in your arsenal of traffic generation strategies.
For phase #1 of building DevelopGoodHabits.com as an authority site, I’m following the niche site model and creating content around a cluster of keyword phrases.
In this post, we’ll talk about the first phase of this plan – with an emphasis on how to take advantage of long-tail keywords.
Starting a new website might seem easy.
In theory, you only need to purchase web hosting and download a free WordPress theme.
Unfortunately the process is more challenging than you might think. If you want to succeed with this new website, then you need a professional look. This is especially true if you’re using it to launch an Authority Internet Business.
Most websites have a few “hidden costs” that might not be initially obvious. Typically it takes at least a few hundred dollars to get one off the ground.
In this post, I’ll detail the costs I incurred while building my authority site, DevelopGoodHabits.com. Specifically I’ll show how an investment of $587.32 will position my site for future success.
Yesterday, I put the finishing touches on my latest Amazon Kindle book.
It’s called:
Email Marketing Blueprint – The Ultimate Guide to Building an Email List Asset
This guide will be free through Amazon’s KDP Select program for the next three days.
Starting today (May 29th) to the end of Friday (May 31st); you can grab a free copy directly from Amazon. (I might extend this by two days, but I’m not 100% sure that I’ll do this.)

After picking a niche, choosing a domain name is the biggest hurdle for most online entrepreneurs.
Often you wonder:
“Should I pick a unique name or should I use a keyword?”
The domain name you select can have a long-term impact on a website – especially if your goal is to build an Authority Internet Business.
In this edition of the AIB case study, we’ll go over how to choose a domain name. Specifically I’ll talk about the two primary strategies you can use:
The biggest hurdle for anyone starting a new Internet business is picking a niche.
We all have various interests. So it’s hard to determine if a topic will work or if it’s a waste of time.
This problem becomes more pronounced when building an authority business. It’s hard to pick a topic when you know it’s a multi-year commitment.
More importantly, determining the profitability of an idea is the key to long-term success. So while an idea might look good on paper, it’s important to find out if it will actually make money.
In this edition of the Authority Internet Business case study, I’ll go over my seven-step strategy for identifying the profit potential for any niche idea.
Not only will I provide a detailed blueprint, I’ll also give specific examples from the research of DevelopGoodHabits.com.
Lots of things are happening with the Authority Internet Business case study.
I’m working hard on my website and getting helpful feedback from readers.
I’ve also received email from people who need assitance with their authority websites. Even though I love answering email, I also think it’s important to create a more interactive learning environment.
What I envision is a central location where authority Internet business entrepreneurs can meet and share ideas with one another.
So I just put together a special Facebook group that serves this purpose…
You need to do one thing before staring an authority business:
Identify your long-term monetization strategy.
Unfortunately most people fail to do this. They’ll spend weeks on a site and then wonder how it will make money.
In this edition of the Authority Internet Business (AIB) case study, I’ll cover how to monetize a website.
Specifically I’ll detail a simple trick you can use to find the best way to make money in any market.
But first, I’d like to talk about an important rule for building an authority site.
After a few months of delays, I just put the finishing touches on my good habits blog.
This website will be the focal point of the Authority Internet Business (AIB) case study that I’m officially launching today.
Moving forward, there will be a lot of content related to this case study. I guarantee you’re going to learn a lot of things about how to build a business from scratch. Plus, I’ll provide specific examples of what does and doesn’t work with Internet marketing in 2013.
Today, I’m going to reveal the URL of this case study website. Plus I’ll talk about eight valuable lessons I’ve learned while putting this website together.
Today I’m doing another free offer of my latest Kindle book:
