   5 Hidden Things with Using Groupon for a Business!

   Click on the link below for more.. https://www.trustthelink.com/5-reasons-businesses-do-not-like-groupon-much-better-way/ (https://www.trustthelink.com/5-reasons-businesses-do-not-like-groupon-much-better-way/) Hey wutz going on. Everyone wants a deal so a coupon site such as Groupon could be the best thing ever. There are some hidden things that you may not know, that I wanted to share. Reason 1 - The service is VERY expensive. When you look at the website it seems there is NO upfront cost and its pay-as-you-go, it seems great right? The truth is they take 50% of your revenue as fees, to begin with, and that doesn't even include the discount you are giving to the consumer. Some more bad news is Groupon requires that a business discount its services by at least 50% and sometimes more. With a $100 product, you would get "at most" $25 and at worst $5. Reason 2 -There is a risk that new users would get a discount and the loyal customers that have been supporting you pay a higher price. It just seems wrong, and maybe a small discount wouldn't be bad, but a large one is almost like a slap in the face for repeat customers. It would be nice if you could customize the discounts such as everyone getting the same discount, but the longer someone has been a customer the bigger discount they would get. This way it would encourage someone to keep doing business with you. This just seems better to me! Reason 3 There is a risk that Groupon customers are "first" and possibly ONLY interested in the discount. It makes sense since they first wen't to a website to look for bargains, and they choose your business ONLY due to the bargain. The reality is different than what the customer is getting and this can be a problem. You can't continue doing those prices. Reason 4 there are concerns with returning visitors. The argument for using this coupon website is that by offering a one-time discount you have a chance to pick up a loyal customer that will pay you into the future (at full price). Imagine you get a killer deal on gas, but a week later the price increases by 75% are you going to be super excited to go back there? No, you probably will be pissed off right? Instead, you probably will continue to look for another deal that is close to the same price you already paid possibly on Groupon. Reason 5 – Is if Google the topic "should my small business use Groupon." You will probably see many examples of "approach with caution" or even "horror stories" except for when the website Groupon shows up. You might be wondering if there is a better option or if offering coupons are worth it. The answer is yes, I go over this in more detail as well as some cool stuff you can do with coupons, and some more of the Groupon story, which is fascinating.

   Is This The Laziest Way to Earn Money?

   Click on the link below for more... https://www.trustthelink.com/how-to-make-money-with-content-aggregation-laziest-way/ (https://www.trustthelink.com/how-to-make-money-with-content-aggregation-laziest-way/) Hey wutzup. I'm a proud lazy person, Very lazy. Especially when it comes to earning money, I just want to get paid and not work very hard. There is a business model I recently discovered, that might just be one of the easiest ways to earn money. I'll give you an example to help you wrap your head around this. Have you heard of the Drudge Report? It's not too fancy and it looks like it came from the 1950's, but it works and the website got over 25 million visits in the last 24 hours (amazing stuff). All it does is post articles, in black and white. What is even crazier is they did NO work to create the articles. Yea, they just took the articles from other places and legally put them on their website and it's called content aggregation. You might be wondering why do people go to this website? The Drudge Report was started in 1997 when Drudge created it to supplement a $10 per year email newsletter. In 1998 the Drudge Report got noticed when it broke that Newsweek had information on sexual relations between a White House intern and Bill Clinton. People started to get in the habit of going to the Drudge Report for the top news and the site just grew. You could say it's a brand thing. More importantly, it's just convenient and can save someone time, because all the information is right there. You might be wondering what this has to do with earning money online and doing NO work. Me and you can do the same thing, but just on a smaller level. The first step is to choose a certain niche it could be about vampires for example. Then get a website and you would pull the latest news from multiple sources about vampires to this webpage. If someone loves vampires they are going to love your website because it's convenient. The best part is you don't have to create any content are even updated automatically with something called an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) You can see how this stuff can provide value to someone without a lot of work.You might be wondering how exactly you are going to get paid right? The easiest way is with an ad network, you get paid every day by showing ads. A second way I would recommend is to create an email newsletter and then share vampire-related affiliate products to someone who joins the list. The purpose of the free content displaying on your website is it gives someone a reason to keep coming back to your website, it automatically updates with no work, it's a great thing to advertise. It even can even give you ideas on what to create content around if you want. The important thing is your providing value for barely any work. Hopefully, this makes some sense. If you want to go deeper into this including the exact steps, how the traffic works, plus 2 other very popular websites that have this business model click on the link below or go to trustthelink.com.

   Danger to Using Keyword Tools....Do This Instead...

   Click on the link below for more... https://www.trustthelink.com/how-do-i-find-high-value-keywords-to-get-traffic-lazy-way/ (https://www.trustthelink.com/how-do-i-find-high-value-keywords-to-get-traffic-lazy-way/ )Hey wutz up. There are many keyword tools that you can buy and I really don't like many of these tools. For one they can be Very expensive. My second issue is I'm very skeptical of the results of the traffic and the competition results that the tool tells you. Even if the tool is right when it comes to the search volume, it also doesn't take into account similar keywords that "also" rank for the idea you have. The total traffic that you can get for a term is probably going to be different. The only person who truly knows how much traffic a search term will get is Google. There are different indicators that can give you an idea if you're on the right track. I idea is to run the search term through Google Trends and if any info comes up then that is a good sign. If you start to write the search term and Google automatically fills it in then that is another good sign. Also, if you see your search term closely matching a people also ask questions then that's good. In the end, you're own common sense and feeling is probably the best indicator, the search term gets a decent amount of traffic and is popular. The good news is that some people will use these tools that say that a term will get 0 traffic or barely any and not go after it and that means less competition for you and I. The competition is another area that I'm very skeptical of when it comes to keyword tools. It's far better to Google the search term you want to compete for and look at the competition directly? To me that is a way better approach. Then you want to ask yourself the following questions? Are there many articles not on point? Are there lots of forums? Are the websites not established? Are the articles weak, and don't answer the question? Do you think you can write a "better" resource? This is the main one. Also, look at the headlines, and if you can create a more attention-grabbing headline that you can still get very good traffic. The one area in which keyword tools can be very helpful is brainstorming ideas and this can save you time and give you lots of topics to write about. What about you? Am I completely wrong please let me know in the comments. Lastly, if you want more ideas on finding keywords to target for both Blogging and Youtube just click on the link below or go to trustthelink.com. I also go over these steps in more detail and I also share the 1 tool that I do like and why. Wish you the best. Bye for now.
