Eric Weeks doesn’t own a truck—in fact, he never has. But that didn’t stop Eric from pulling in over $800K in his first year online—working only 25 hours per week! Eric is proof that a thoughtful strategy can result in huge sales and profits. Here is his story:

1. Eric focuses on the search engines.

Instead of employing a variety of tactics to market his products, Eric has, so far, just focused on getting good search engine positioning. As a result he has 500 or so unique visits per day as a result of his search engine positions.

2. Eric learned from the experts.

Eric took time to research and learn everything he could about search engine positioning. In fact, his only marketing strategy so far has been to grab top positions for the best keywords for his products.


3. Eric looks for linking partners.

As part of his search engine strategy, Eric works to get linking partners. He spends about 30 minutes each working day connecting with people who can help bring him more business and a higher search engine ranking.

4. Eric sells a drop-shipped product.

Even though Eric does a huge volume in sales each month, the orders are filled and shipped by his suppliers. He has fewer headaches and higher profits as a result.

5. Eric has a simple page.

Eric put his page together himself. It is a simple page that can score well with the search engines. By not having all of the bells and whistles, he focuses on getting a high search engine ranking.

Believe it or not, that’s it. Since he is only focused on one area—search engines—Eric doesn’t have a long list of "success secrets". Instead, he is steadily growing his business from the ground up with the free traffic from Google, Yahoo and other major engines.
