Doug Morneau: Well, welcome back listeners to another episode of Real Marketing Real Fast. Today, I've got joining me in studio, Greg Jeffries. He says he's a regular guy that's never had a job that meets over $20,000 a year, but he broke through and achieved six-figure income purely from affiliate commissions using SEO. So if you are interested in affiliate commissions or interested in an extra $100,000 a year, I would suggest that you get your pen and paper, sit down and take some notes, and listen to what Greg has to share with us. He's an expert in search engine optimization, and I'd like to welcome Greg to the show today.

Greg Jeffries: Thanks for having me, man.

Doug Morneau: So that's a pretty big goal. There's lots of guys who do affiliate marketing. So, is there a secret sauce or something you want to share with us? Or maybe a little bit of background on how you went from working in a regular job and broke through six figures from affiliate revenue?

Greg Jeffries: Yeah. So the big epiphany for me was focusing on long-tail keywords. So long-tail keywords is just a fancy word for describing longer search phrases. So, not your typical shorter phrases like "red shoes" or like "make money online." Make money online, three words, it's kind of a longer tail, but it's very competitive. It's kind of a generic longer tail keyword. But, I'm talking about the keywords that are longer and much more specific to certain products and services and stuff. So, that was my big epiphany, and then just taking action on creating relevant content around those long-tail keywords, whether it'd be for videos or blog posts and just doing that for a variety of different niches.

So that was the big breakthrough for me and kind of what got me from where I was, which I was making a couple thousand dollars a month consistently, but from there to like multiple five figures a month consistently, because I ... I don't know if you can relate to this or any of your listeners, but I never had that a great job that paid me enough to live on plus gave me a marketing budget. That would be the ideal situation, but that just wasn't my situation. I just barely had enough to live on and then, luckily, I had good credit, so I was able to get credit cards. So that was my marketing budget, was the credit cards.

Doug Morneau: Good for you.

Greg Jeffries: But yeah, it's not what I would recommend, but that was what I had for leverage. That was what I could use. But I'm always searching for something to get from like zero to like these big breakthrough numbers, like these six figures or seven figures. You've probably seen these sales videos or sales pages over the last 20 years or so that talked about the rags-to-riches stories, and some of that I feel is fabricated, but I know that I've spoken to some other marketers that have had those success stories and going from like nothing to amazing success stories and results. I wanted to figure out how do I do that because that is my situation. I really didn't know what information to consume or where to put my credit card money or whatever to explode it.

So, what were that inexpensive but actionable steps that I could take to slowly build a passive income snowball that would pay me forever and ever? So yeah,
