Hey - Semi N00B here.

[BenderFry]

Hello there,

My name is JP and I am currently doing my second last year of high school (I am 17).

Over the summer I was curious and decided to try out some internet marketing. I have learned a hell of a lot since july - and I learn something new each day.

I have been hanging out at DP forums since day 1 - and each and every day I grow tired of it. Finally I found this forum - specific for clickbank (which I am currently trying out and got my first sale 2 days ago).

Over the course of these past months I haven't been making much - only around $300 in total - but hey, we all start somewhere.

I recently launched a new "review" blog dubbed - DeltaReviews

Since I am relatively new to the online world - I have little knowledge about what works.

At this stage I am signing up for GetResponse (as I type this) - Because I am going to test out a couple of Squeeze pages which I will advertise via youtube, viral (hopefully) articles, and bum marketing.

I have a, what I believe to be, good sales funnel in my mind which is:

PROMOTION METHOD -> Squeeze Page w/ Incentive - e.g. Read a Report on XXXXXXX Product -> Directed to product report -> Product sales page.

I don't know if its perfect - thats what I am gonna test.

Anyways enough chit-chat - time for me to build some more pages.

Peace,

JP

Welcome JP, thanks for the intro. Nice to know a bit about you.

I wish I had got into this at 17, I would have made a load of cash and been able to buy more beer at University!

Sounds like you are doing something right as you have made some money, sounds like your plan could work too. Need to build a good relationship with your subscribers to make sure they come back hungry and armed with credit cards!

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Truth be told - I am trying to save up so I can go to Uni abroad.
I am almost done with my Efficient Planet Squeeze Page - and will start my PPC campaign in 30mins - 1 hour.

EDIT: Although I've done PPC a tiny bit (with no conversions) - I'd like to know how many keywords you guys suggest starting out with.

Would it be 10~ longtail phrases (in exact, phrased, and normal?)

[JIMZ]

To start with I always try as many as possible to get some stats on impressions and clicks, then I can start to refine things.

I am personally stopping PPC on Clickbank products until they sort things out.

welcome bender fry ... there's some great tutorials on PPC in the PPC section ... but as Jimz says, clickbank is perhaps not reliable enough for ppc at the moment ... so use with caution

[BenderFry]

Ah. Hmm - I might experiment with $10 a day then see where that takes me.

My squeeze page is up and running: Efficient Planet - Renewable Energy & Efficiency Living. Build Your Own Solar Panel, Windmill, & 50 Other Efficient Ways To Live
It's gonna promote Efficient Planet.

Well the capture page looks, good and simple, let us know your results using ppc, I suggest yuo try with a list of around 500 long tail keywords, and perhaps start just with exact match to control ctr and CPC 500 long tail keywords for this one is not hard to get.

[BenderFry]

Alright - I'll try that out. Hopefully I can find some >10 Cent Clicks
That would be banal

EDIT: Campaign Launched - 100 ~ Keywords targeting DIY, Do it Yourself, Make, etc. 300 in total (normal, phrased, exact)

Hi Bender,

Welcome to the crew, seen you around at the gay bar, oops I mean DP :P

I think you'll find this place a little sexier and less gay...

NC.

I feel less queer already :P

I feel less queer already :P

See, I told you doing an intro post would help you!
