I wanted to post this interview by a well known Plug In Profit Site member, Doug Gorman. You can read all Doug’s posts and interviews at http://faithinonlinebusiness.blogspot.com. This time he interviewed one of the original Plug In Profit Site members, Jeff Schuman. I’ll let Doug tell you the rest, but I would like to add that Jeff is truly one of the most helpful members of the Plug In Profit Site community and also one of the most successful. This is an awesome interview.
Please tell us more about yourself.“My name is Jeff Schuman. I am the owner of Team-Schuman.com. My website started out as a website Stone built for me and I have developed it into my own liking since then. I am currently on page one of Google for over 1400 keyword phrases and growing. Words like make money now, make money quick, make money at home, and so on. If I had to buy Google AdWords for all of the traffic this brings me it would cost me over $50K a month.”
You are one of the original Plug-In Profit Site members. I think I saw you say that you are #4 !? How has PIPS evolved since it’s initiation?
“PIPS is better organized, has better programs, and offers better back end training. Stone has done a great job developing it into what it is today.”
Since the beginning of PIPS, what has been a main attribute that have caused people to fail with this business?
“Most people fail online with PIPS, and with Internet marketing in general, because they do not have the skills and give up before they ever learn them. Internet marketing is hard and it is competitive. It takes time and money. What you lack in one, you have to invest more of in the other. I do not think people really understand how much traffic it takes to convert some of it into newsletter subscribers, buyers, PIPS members, etc.”
Tell me about SEO. When I first heard that term, I thought it was a new car. Please give an overview of what SEO is.
“I have been working on this for about 3 years now. To me it all starts at the top of the page and ends on the very bottom. You can go look at a page of mine and you will see how simple this really is….
Here is one: http://www.team-schuman.com/home-based-business-for-women.html
I am targeting the phrase home based business for women. You can see how I title the page, how I bold and italicize the keyword phrase, and even how I end the bottom of the page. If you view the source code you can see how I set up the meta tags. If you Google search home based business for women I should be on page #1. I am having the same results doing this with blogging now as well.”
How do people succeed using SEO?
“Choose long tail phrases with less competition, make your page content relevant to the keyword and then do this over and over until you are getting the traffic you want. Blogging works great for this if you have a WordPress blog.”
What is the best way to utilize article marketing?
“Combine submit your articles and blogging. This gets your unique articles in hundreds of article directories, as well as social directories. You can hire us to do it for you if you do not know how to do it!”
Can someone who is not good at writing still be efficient with article marketing?
“Rewriting Private Label Rights articles is good. We just started a program called “Hands Off Article Marketing”, where we write and submit for people who cannot do it themselves for some reason. Either you or someone in your company is going to be doing alot of writing on the Internet anyway. If not article marketing and email marketing, you will be doing pay per click ads and traffic exchanges. You have to get traffic somewhere.”
What is the first thing you would tell a new member to do “out of the gate?”
“Find one form of marketing you like and master it. Then add to it. Back links are the key to getting traffic. I like traffic exchanges right now and did not do them for my first 5 years. You will always keep learning, but with no traffic you make no money so you have to master at least one form of getting it.”
What do you see for the future of PIPS and what would you like to see?
“PIPS will always be good because it has a never ending supply of leads. I would like to see people be able to choose a customized website that relates to a theme they have a passion for. I was lucky because I love sales and marketing and Internet marketing in general appeals to me. Many people do not care about the programs in PIPS. They love cooking, gardening, sports, cars, or whatever. They have a better chance of succeeding if they can promote products and blog on what they enjoy. This is at least fun when you are not making money.
I was able to take my one website and build it into a full time home business and I owe my start to PIPS. Thanks to Stone, Pat, and all of the good people in the Plug-In Profit Site.“
