Challenging foreign language sites can be the key to earning big money

Do you know what アフィリエイトmeans?
It's well known the internet is saturated with the English language, with millions of sites for every topic imaginable.
SEO work on keywords in English is becoming more and more challenging; as a result the prospect of success becomes slimmer by the day.
Working in new languages has a great opportunity for growth, multi-language sites or sites that use a foreign language are Web sites that the average webmaster has no experience with.
First of all, we have to understand that the English internet is not the ONLY internet. There are other languages that use totally different character sets (Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai etc)… and Eureka! There is lots of money to be made in those languages; it opens an entirely new market.
The author of this post earns his living (which is more than satisfactory) in the Japanese internet.
If you think that you're ready to find new venues for your web-mastering talents then you are welcome to reply to this post, or write to me directly and take your first step towards earning big money in the Japanese market.

Hi Wolvie,

Thanks for the comment.
Truly, there are tons of websites for each and every language, but before we dismiss the idea, we should make a short analysis.
1. What are the most paying fields in the internet business? (I think we all know what they are).
2. Which languages (ie countries, ie economies) can support an online market? If we are looking at the strongest economies outside the English speaking sphere, those would be Germany, Japan and the rest of Western Europe. A recent study estimated the 2006 online business revenue in Japan at 41B$ with growth of 23% from the previous year. By 2010 it should reach the 70B$ mark. (The health industry was at #1 with a 53% market share.)
What a well accomplished web master should do is; create a web page, paste into it some relevant texts, check what are the keywords used in the language for the business he is trying to promote, start working on those keywords, and start expecting earnings from those keywords within a given amount of time.
I am very well acquainted with Japanese affiliates and I can tell you they are quite lazy. Most of them just create a website or open up a blog, write in a few paragraphs, place a few banners, and leave it at that, hoping to become rich. They don’t do any SEO of any kind. Just sit on their hands waiting to become rich. Even though their relative advantage is their command of the language, there are so many tools that can translate texts and keywords from any language to any language that the language barrier actually does not exist anymore.
If you are tired of trying to look for new methods to promote your keyword, why not try doing so in a relatively new and smaller market. Maybe this is the break you are waiting for.
