Hi,

I'm Alan Clark from Scotland.

Been involved online for about 4-5 years, it all just blends together.

I have been through lots of different projects with varying degrees of success.

I am focusing on the following 2 sites mainly

http://www.womensunderwearonline.com
http://www.ableton-live-tutorial.com

The underwear site is a relatively new venture. I bought it on Flippa due to the site ranking on Google page one for keywords such as "womens underwear", "buy womens underwear", "buy underwear online", "buy underwear online" etc etc. (On Google UK)

I totally redeveloped it myself and set up a relationship with a dropshipping company. It was a really hard task finding a decent supplier as most of the wholesalers supply cheap nasty chinese sourced tat. But I have succeeded in this department. Went down to Hull in England and met them, checked out their stock levels, quality etc etc.

Getting OK traffic but struggling to convert this into sales but I will stay with it. It is only 2 weeks since I bought it over and put in the new back end, added stock etc.

The other site is a music production tutorial site. Ableton Live is an expensive music production software with a HUGE following. It's my hobby mainly which made it seem like a good topic to blog about.

I have 700 people in my aweber list, and I am pretty well known in the Ableton niche due to my Twitter and Youtube activities.

The site is rolling along at about 2800-3000 visits per month.

I have NOT marketed to these people EVER. It has all been relationship building and free content and interaction.

I think I have the foundations of a decent business here but I am a little unsure of how to best start trying to sell to them.

As far as marketing goes, I never pay for traffic.

I have become really good at seo using wordpress and I am using that experience to optimise my lingerie store now.

I also use a lot of social marketi ;Dwitter being my weapon of choice.

I have a few tools that help me build my twitter accounts and I have successfully been using twitter as a traffic source.

I have a few twitter accounts in the IM niche with overall access to 5000 or so followers.

I don't have an IM list but I reckon from my experience in the Ableton niche I could do the same in IM.

I am new to joint ventures but I think I do bring a lot to the table.

Lets see what happens.

Alan
