August 4th – Same Ol’ Thing

Pretty interesting day:

It kinda sucks, that I haven’t seen my $100 day yet!  And I won’t be able to for awhile – I’m going to be at football camp for 9 days; Starting this Wednesday!

So I won’t be updating this thing for awhile – unless I find someone with a computer!  Geez, so tommorow; i’m definitely going to try to do as much work as humanly possible, so that I can be atleast somewhat productive.

Man this is going to suck – lol.  I better get alot done tommorow, or else, it’s going to SUCK!

So We’ll See how it turns out

Thanks for staying updated with me guys! – I’m starting to take these Blue and Grey Bars for Granted; I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.  I just know that I’m appreciative, but I want to be earning more so that I can have the financial freedom, that I absolutely dream about.

This is actually a dream come true, and I’m going to work harder each and everyday to make sure my earnings increase!  Anybody can do it, I’m not doing anything extra hard or complicated – there are no secrets – I promise. 

It’s just a matter of diversification, knowing what works by copying other’s success [that's right, I copied other landing pages that I thought converted; with my own unique content and template borders - but generally same design] – and it worked.

Monkey See Success – Monkey Do Success.  And – imitation is the key to success in anything in life.  I’ve come to that shocking conclusion; even

Even Michael Jordan was influenced by Dr. J – a.k.a Julius Erving.  Bill Gates didn’t invent Microsoft

It’s not what you do, it’s how it’s done :]

Late on the Updates – August 3rd

Hey guys, I’m so late on this update! – but better late than never I guess;

Here’s my August 2nd Update:

I thought I was going to have more sales – but Saturdays and Tuesdays are always the slowest, I did learn that I have actually found a converting product – and I have about 3 people on my mailing list.

So this is actually pretty cool. 

August 3rd Update:

This was a surprising day, I thought I was going to get my 100$ day, but I’m close, I’m pretty happy about earnings like these, because it just shows how lucrative this internet marketing thing can be!

Especially since I’m nowhere close to where I want to be. I still have so much to do as far as pure article marketing goes.  So hopefully it gets better; It is now proven possible to average 100$ a day now. 

Here are Some Daily Tips:

• When doing keyword research, all the vets will tell you that, the keywords in the title tags are by far the most important component when it comes to any “SEO”, even if you are trying to rank for a blog post; make sure you have keywords in your titles.
• When tracking stats, I recommend using statcounter.com; that’s if you are looking for something to track your traffic.  Some people know of other sites too, so just ask around

It is possible to make a living with free method marketing online.  I think it’s proven now, ya know? None of these sales are using my AWEBER thingy either.  These are just pure basic marketing online structures that always have & always will work.

But yeah that’s it – stay tuned.

 

1st Sale of August

It’s nice starting out the new period with a guaranteed check – but Now I have to work harder.

The thing about this sale is that: I stopped promoting this product weeks ago. – which still proves the power of building residual income with internet marketing.

Now the thing is: I can’t put any more effort into this product until it converts for me consistently. that means atleast 2 more times this month – and I’ll double up on the keywords.

But it’s also important that you diversify on your niches and put your most into the best converting product.

I didn’t get much done today, because of football stuff – it gets so hectic; hopefully I’ll be able to do my fair share of work tommorow and Sunday because I go off to camp for about a week and a half next Wednesday.

Some Article Marketing Tips:

• As stated before – don’t put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to niche, test a product before you put a consistent effort into it.
• The only “for sure” niche is make money online – that niche is highly competitive, but it will always be profitable if you put enough consistent effort into it. [no niche is too saturated to start making sales - my first sale ever was on a make money online product]
• One of my niches was seeing limited hoplink click through; I changed a text hop-link, to a graphic hop-link and my hoplink clickthrough jumped 200% – when it comes to this – you want to have an extreme “attention to detail”
• Try to stay away from super low gravity products – there’s a reason why nobody’s promoting them – I think it’s only good to promote a super low gravity product, if you have a mailing list, have reviewed the product itself and want to recommend it to people who “already trust you”; or if you just absolutely sure that this niche is high demand and completely untapped and the product for the demand is incredible.

July 31st – Direct Deposit is AMAZING

I finally got my last check, today!  Direct Deposit is amazing – there’s no 5 day wait for me, it’s a same day deposit, and it’s still morning – that’s pretty awesome.

So It looks like I’m going to get paid every two weeks from now on for the rest of my life!  It’s pretty awesome, you guys should definitely start working hard because the benefits you reap is totally worth it.

Anyways:  This is what I did so far – atleast for this morning:

So i’ll update that picture if it increases throughout the day.  I’m starting to see sales everyday now – so my goal is to start seeing two sales a day; that would be awesome for my article marketing campaign.

Daily Tips:

• Don’t give up, this article marketing thing works!  I tend to get my keywords from http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com and the google keywords tool, “just type in google keyword tool” in the Google search engine search box thingamajig.
• Focus your early efforts onto finding “converting niches”.  It sucks writing 9000 articles on “how to date chickens” – if you want a safe bet, make money online, with a high gravity product that’s been around for awhile will always convert….but be prepared to write tons of articles everyday.
• Keep Working Hard – I’m still not at my goal of 100$ a day, but I’m hoping to get there soon!

Landing Page Tips:

• Here are some landing page tips that have worked for me – as said before, the landing page that works best when using a blogger format is when there are two sidebars to the right.
• I write a review of the product with affiliate links throughout the review page – and a call to action at the end
• I tend to have a big picture of the product or a picture related to the product for the person when they first see my page.
• I use bullet points atleast once in my review page
• I fill up the sidebar with video displays, pictures, links to articles, etc – so it won’t look like an empty post.
• My best converting landing page has two blog posts of 500 or more words

Those are some quick landing page tips for you guys – just giving back to the community because they helped me so much.

P.S  – Just bought AWEBER mailing list services – so we’ll see how that affects my sales, if I start seeing a sharp spike in sales – you guys will no why

I still classify this under free method marketing, because I’m only investing the money that I earned through Bum Marketing & still using free methods to drive traffic.

July 30th – Early Update

You know what the best feeling is?  Making money while you were sleeping.

That’s how you know you’re doing something right – When you wake up and see cash in your bank.  It seems like I had a “TueSlow Tuesday” – but Wednesday seems to pick it up very quickly:

Not much – but then again, I didn’t work all day so……yeah

Here’s Some Quick Tips:

• 10 articles for a niche [or atleast a product] is a great way to tell if it converts or not.
• Your mind is the best keyword research tools – you should use online keyword research tools, but at the same time think: “would anybody type this in if they wanted to buy a product?”
• When I write, I try not to have paragraphs longer than three lines
• And Try A.I.D.A for the author’s resource box

July 28th – I-Empire

Today was actually one of my most impressive sales despite the look of it.

The day’s not over yet, so i could still make more sales – but I want to tell you why this 13$ means so much to me.

This was only from about 4 articles pointed at the niche – and it was within a couple of days of being published – it was only a couple hours after I tweaked the landing page – and this means one thing:

My calculations were right – this new niche CONVERTS!

So I in fact have 4 converting niches that I’m going to start writing for every single day – three articles each.  You should start seeing a boost in sales since I have found a keyword list that might boost my income for specific niches.

Not to mention that I have about 15 articles  pending at this moment.  So it’s looking pretty awesome – The snowball seems to be gaining momentum every single day that I work, and I just have to keep on giving a consistent effort to this internet marketing campaign;

I should be seeing

100$ a day extremely soon here

Here are some of my overall screenshots:

Updated from Earlier Today 

 Now These Screenshots May Not seem Like Much Money Now – but You have to remember that I still have about 30 niches  that could potentially give me consistent sales on top of my niches that are already converting; I’m going to be writing tons of articles for my converting niches as well.

Traffic Explosion anybody?  This is awesome.  I just have to work hard so I can get to my next phase of internet marketing!

July 26th – Pretty Decent

Hey guys, today’s been going well, especially because I’m really about to start picking up the work:

This is still sales from work I did weeks ago.  So I’m impressed with the power of internet marketing when done correctly.

I still have 30 Different Products and Niches that I still want to promote; so the faster I can get done, the better.

July 25 – Hey Hello :D

Hey guys, I’m trying to update on a regular basis: but i’m just so busy with everything !  Thanks for reading and maintaining support!

Here are my stats for today:

Pretty good earnings for today; but I have to keep working so that I can start seeing ultimate consistent sales – I don’t want the sales dying down now do I?

I have 31 products in which I believe have potential for me to start earning a profitable income with; today I’m starting to work extremely hard building landing pages and writing 10 articles for every product I like.

I should be making 100$ a day; pretty soon here.

This is how my day goes:

I plan on starting everyday by writing 9 articles for my niches that are already converting – then creating all my landing pages + 2-3 articles.  I write 2 articles for each of the landing pages I have created until I reach ten or it is a proven converter.

This is great; this is fantastic; I feel like I can do anything

 

• Write 3 articles each for my converting niches every single day for a month
• Write all my landing pages + 10 articles for each product – see which ones convert

July 24th Update

Turns out that July was a pretty good month for Sales – hopefully they go up exponentially during Fall & Winter when people are DEFINITELY inside their house – That would be awesome; But here let me give you a quick sales update:

Hmmm…That was pretty un-expected after a two day drought – But I unfortunately had a refund today too, but i’m not frettin about it. lol

I still had a 56$ day – which is pretty good since I’m just getting started, ya know?

This is great because I’m going to be adding more to this niche that’s making me the bulk of my sales & I’m going to start expanding to different niches in which I can start seeing similar results.

I plan on promoting 31 different products when it’s all said and done: – That will surely give me consistent sales.  So I’m definitely looking forward to a month from now when I’m making super consistent sales!

Converting products obviously get much more attention than non-converting products[in fact non-converting products get more attention.

Right Now I’m:

• Maintain the NIches that Are Already Converting
• Creating a New Landing Page a Day
• Do the Additional Niches that Already have some articles written

Since I need to make money now & fast – I’m going to stop playing around and play operation dedication.  I’m going to wake-up early in the morning and aim for 100 articles a day.  Of course I probably won’t reach this goal or anywhere close, but if I am able to write 400 articles; I should be seeing some incredibly lucrative profits on a regular basis.

So it’s time to start – I have the time, I have the formula and knowledge – and I need to take advantage just in case this opportunity is not available in the future.

I can’t wait for 2morrow: and I can’t wait to see what the future brings

No Sales Today – Traffic Slightly Declining

I do know that I made $1.55 with adsense from an extremely limited number of clicks.  So even when I do not have clickbank sales – I’m still a small bit of change from adsense which is pretty cool.

As an internet marketer – you should enjoy every cent of profit that your recieve, even if it’s an extremely limited amount that probably will not buy you much because in the long-run; you’ll be better for it.

This thing is full of droughts and dead periods. But over the course of months and even years – you’ll notice how consistent your sales truly are [if you're doing everything right].  If you make one sale; you’ll have more to come, especially if you are writing quality instead of pure garbage.

What I’m Doing Right Now:

I’m trying to finish promoting new products in approximately a month – I create a new landing page each and everday for a new product to see if it converts.  I’ll have a group of selected niches and these will ultimately be the ones that I continue promoting through article marketing and PPC.

My Checklist of Stuff I Want to Do:

• Write 30 Landing Pages Targeting 30 Different Products
• Make Money Online Massive E-mail List/Autoresponder Campaign
• Start My professional Super Affiliate Blog that blogs about affiliate marketing [Any suggested Names?]
• PPC with Clickbank, Commission Junction, & Azoogle Ads
• Start Creating My own Personal Ebooks, Products, and Memberships
• Start my own personal Empire of Blogs targeting every subject under the book
• TB-Continued
