Official Day 7 Recap [Tier 1]

with 5 comments

I’ve been stuck not being able to get to a computer to do this update!  I’m using my friends right now!

Well, I ended the day off with only one sale – oh wellz :[  It's cool though because I'm still getting tons of hoplink clicks and tons of traffic.

Traffic Stats for Day 7:

  1. Niche A - 26 unique visitors
  2. Niche B - 14 unique visitors
  3. Niche C - 5 unique visitors [this one's going to blow up in a little bit]
  4. Niche D – 6 unique visitors
  5. Niche E – 1 unique visitor??:
  6. Niche F – 15 unique visitors
  7. Niche G – 16 unique visitors

83 visitors total.  This brought me one sale today.  So that’s about what I expected.  If I double this production – I expect double sales; period.

Sales Updates:

I made a 26$ sale today – here are my hoplink clicks:

42 hoplinks total – 1 sale.  I’m averaging 63 hoplinks per sale which is pretty frickin sick; especially in the eyes of a 20 year old broke college student.

lol.
What I Got Done Today:

  • I wrote 9 articles, and perfected my plan
  • I changed my goal – I’m going to aim at atleast 40 articles a day, I should be seeing significant sales by next week around this time.  Each website should have roughly 25 articles pointed at it. 
  • This is going to require me to be a machine – and I may have to work all day – so be it.

What I Have to do 2morrow:

  • I’m going to write atleast 40 articles tomorrow.  I’m starting a new landing page campaign tommorow as well.  This one should bring me huge commission

What I Learned today:

This thing is SO unpredictable.  When you are just starting – you’re going to see sales when you least expect them until you get settled in.  I see weird sales all the time – I just do not understand them, but I’m glad this method is working. 

Once you get the ball rolling; you have to keep attacking.  There’s no time to be skeptical about the results – you have to be like a lumberjack swinging away at wood.  Just keep chopping, chopping, and chopping. 

The trickles of traffic will turn into an avalanche after this weekend – I promise you.  You’re going to see an amazing increase in traffic - sales are unpredictable; however.

Some people are confused about the “Tier” thing

Well, i’m treating this article marketing like video games.  In video games, when you do enough battles and win; you gain experience points.  When you get a certain amount of experience points, you reach a new level or Tier and gain new abilities as well.

Well it’s the same for article marketing – every hundred articles equals a new level.  Once I write 100 articles – I’ll be at Tier 2. And I’ll have the ability to earn more cash – in fact; my calculations state that every 100 articles I write is an extra $1000 per month in cash atleast.

Articles Required to Reach Next Tier: 77 articles left. – I want to cut this to 37 by tommorow!

Day 6

without comments

- Mid-Day Update:

I managed to write 10 articles today, and I’m getting a fair amount of views.   Pretty cool! Go hard or go Home!

  • I’m going to try to write articles for the rest of the set once again – reduce my total to 70 until next level, and I’m going to try to create one or two new landing pages today!  I’m only going to promote the big ticket items then go down to producing the small ticket items.
  • I want to get the big ticket items established so Let’s say i’m making 1 sale a day with a 99$ commission product.  That’s already 3K a month with one product alone ya know?

So my two next niches have high commissions of nearly 100$ and 50$ per sale; these two items earn me 4500$ a month all by themselves if they average one sale a day.

Day 4 – Cool As a Fan.

Traffic Update

Blue Stands For Visitors.  I have 4 websites bringing in steady traffic at this point.  That’s great, because I’ll be able to turn these into sales by Day 15.  I should be seeing about $288 a day in about 2 weeks of constant work.

Sales Updates:

 - Dang! that sucks!

No sales today :[ - Not too discouraged though, I had a fantastic day to days ago, a day before that, and a day before that - I've seen too much success with this system to doubt it now; I'm just patiently waiting for sales to start rolling in!

What I Got Done Today

  • I wrote one article and submitted it.  Ouch.  Tomorrow morning I'm going to get this thing up and started.  I need to motivate myself! 

What I Have to Do 2morrow

  • Write 14 outlines in the morning
  • Write the 14 outlines and come up with tons of landing pages countdown to 43 landing pages.

I'm also going to do a "countdown to 300$  a day."  I have to Day 20 to make this amount of money!  That means I have to write atleast 14 articles a day to see this figure!  It shouldn't be that bad!

What I Learned Today:

Everything in life requires a technique and you have to perfect that technique.  You can be given the ability to type fast, to work hard, but you have to have the technique in order to succeed in anything in life from sports, etc.

There's always something inside of you that says:"You can do it".  You know deep down inside if you can do something or not.  I kept praying [is this for me?  Am I meant to do this, I'm not earning anything]. Now I’m starting to succeed.  If you feel like you’re meant for something – life does something crazy and makes it for you.

You just gotta do you.  I got the basics of my journey from somebody else, but what I’m doing is completely original.  If I told you what I did – it probably wouldn’t work for you.

Day 3 Recap

without comments

I’m posting this kind of late.  I did not get the chance to do what I wanted to.  I live on campus; so I usually walk to the library – but yesterday there was lightning in close proximity.  I wasn’t able to walk all the way to library [about a 15 minute walk] – so I just decided to stay home.

Traffic Updates:

My traffic does this for some reason?  It will probably pick up again and end up making sales for me again.  With internet marketing: You can’t get too concerned with the day 2 day reductions in traffic.  I just have to keep working.

Sales Updates:

- dang, no sales; Oh well :D , I just have to keep working so that I can see full bars everyday!

What I Got Done Today:

  • Absolutely Nothing!  I couldn’t make it to the library

What I Have to Do For June 24th:

  • Come up with 14 article writing topics
  • Write the articles
  • Work towards my goal of 43 more landing pages with two articles pointed.

What I Learned Today:

I’ve learned that you have to slowly increase your work capacity.  It’s kind of like with weightlifiting.  You don’t want to show up one day and try to do 30 reps of 225 lbs.  You want to progressively get up to that point.

Well, with articles, you want to start out with one a day, or more if you can. You want to slowly increase this to your dream production.  My goal is to write 100 articles a day until I’m making substantial profit to go into PPC.

I should be at my goal By July 18th.

Day 2 – How Sick is This.

without comments

Traffic Update

 This is of course the traffic from one website, from one niche.  I earned nearly 70$ the past two days from this website alone.  So let’s do this math.  What if I averaged One sale a day from all my niches like this?

That’s $54000, a month.  Even if I make sales off and on and only make that, it’s still $27000 a month.  Maybe I’m going crazy, but I think I can cash in big with these methods.  I forgot to mention that each landing page is going to have 60 articles pointed towards it.  That means, that most of these high converting landing pages will easily give 1 sales a day. 

Sales Update: I actually made 2 sales when I woke up this morning.  That is WEIRD. This thing is so unpredictable – but I’m not complaining :D

This is only for “one niche”, I plan on targeting 50 niches when it’s all said and done.  At this pace, I should have 50 niches targeted by the end of the month.  I should also have about

Sat & Sunday Hoplink Stats:

Pretty amazing, 2 sales in 31 clicks.  Other days I don’t get sales for nearly 200 hoplink clicks.  Based on my estimation, I should be making an insane amount of money.

What I Got Done:

  • I Have designed 7 landing pages total.  The majority of my time spent was organizing all the landing pages so they would be ready for the traffic I’m about to send in.
  • I managed to somehow write 5 articles and design statcounter for all of them so I could keep track of the stats.
  • So i got alot done today,  It’s going to be easier everyday I start working.  I should be on pace to making 100$ a day in about a week;

What I have to do 2morrow:

  • Write 14 articles for my niches that already exist
  • Create as many landing pages and write 2 articles for each as humanly possible.

What I learned today:

Internet marketing is extremely unpredictable and exciting.  It keeps you on the edge of your toes – but you can’t get caught up with the day to day feelings that arise or you’ll get discouraged.  Keep the end in mind.  I made no sales for about a week, then all of a sudden 2 sales in one day.  It’s strange.

Just keep plugging away, keep working everyday, and you’ll start seeing consistent sales.  The beginning is hard because it’s just so difficult to find a formula that works – but once you’ve found it – there’s nothing that can stop you!

Remeber the Saying: Submit & Forget.  It’s hard to submit and forget when you first start because you’re looking for a winning forumla; but when you start seeing results, have faith in the system, you quickly learn to submit and forget.
