back to back sales, 3 days in a row! Inspiration for Noobs like me!

[three3s]

hey guys, just for a bit of motivation and also because i'm absolutely buzzing just now!

the weeks and months of learning about this affiliate marketing tom foolery is finally paying off, i've had a sale every day for the last 3 days! it's the first time i've had 2 sales back to back but another one just landed today too, hopefully be 4 tomorrow!

before i came here, i first came across Norb on digital point forums. good resource but not a patch on this place. the info on here shouldn't be free! anyone who still thinks they can't make cash from AM need to just try! experiment!

i'm the worst procrastinator in the world but you just need to get off your arse and do it! the NC Media products are the best place to start, they convert and have sh!t hot comissions.

i've been doing this for about 4 months. thats from knowing nothing about anything 4 months ago. i mean nothing, about building websites, seo, affiliate marketing etc. i still think i know very little but can still churn out sales.

i've got something like 50 live articles in total, 3 blogger landing pages and dabble in SEO, usually unsuccessfully. so far i'm up around $660 or so from these measly efforts. not a cent paid, pure bum marketing.

hope this gives newbies like me the drive to just go and do it. if someone said to me now build 3 blogger landing pages and write 50 articles, i'd have made at least treble that $660. I only know that because i went and tried it and learnt bits and pieces along the way and know a lot more now becasue of it.

anyway, give it a bash and don't be scared to ask questions in the forums. look at my previous posts, i'll ask anything and 9 times out of 10 the good folks on here have helped me out.

Awesome post +rep and a present for you:

Congratz on the success and hopefully it continues... a very good goal to achieve is at least 1 sale per day from bum marketing.

Once you achieve that goal, you can instantly double the goal and aim for 2 sales per day and continue that way. If everything falls into place and you continue adding to what you learn... you will be able to make much better use of your time and know when to buckle down and get things done

[three3s]

haha nice one Norb, cheers.

ganceann, thats exactly what i've been trying to do. work out whats worth spending time doing and what isn't. it's becoming clearer every day.

[JIMZ]

Congrats mate, that is good going at the moment, sales are hard to come by. A regular pattern is what I would like rather than the peaks and troughs.

Keep us informed of progress, maybe even start a journal - there is a section for it somewhere.

congratz,realy an inspiration,yea definitely Norb products r definitely gud to start wid,I have alo sstarted my internat marketing career

wid Norb product,have 45 live articles up now and have made 550$ till now,however just praying hard that i dont get refunds.

So are all your sales coming from forex,and are you able to find any good long tail kwd for forex which is able to get you many views.

Since very few of my articles are only getting several views,all are drying up ,though i have used all long tail kwds only.

[Noxter]

Congratulations three3s - cheers my friend.

Directed @ guptishika:
Continue to send link-backs to your articles. Don't allow them to "dry up". Most important squeeze the crap out of those long trailing keywords. Don't just make off with your $550. Don't stop now! Second, don't ever be satisfied with the money you see in your bank account. It's not a matter of being greedy; that is false and a lie. Go big or go home. Keep pushing forward my friend.

Cheers to future sales,
Kevin O.

hey guptishika, i got around $480 from Norb's forex products. The rest is from another clickbank products and an offer from azoogle, just signed up with them last month.

to be honest, i think that most of my forex sales came from small spells when i was high up in google. i may be totally wrong but i'm not sure that my articles have made me many, if any sales. maybe one or two. it's hard to tell for sure though, can't really track exactly where the sales come from, i just know they've clicked through from my blogger landing page.

i got my first 2 forex sales when i was on holiday in cyprus, i got 2 in 3 days and had only written about 3 articles before i went. i was number 1 on google for about 5 days though so thats where they came from. if you can get a half decent landing page to number 1 on google for the product name you'll make plenty of sales. easier said than done though.

that was the very first landing page i made and i went back and read over it a couple of weeks after i made it and decided to change it about. BIG mistake. google didn't like this and i plumitted from number 2/3 on page 1 to page 13 or something. still never recovered properly.

another good thing to read is lemonarians bum marketing ebook. it's on these forums, in the downloads section. i took some stuff from that and made a blogger landing page for a high gravity product on CB. not sent much traffic but it's converting at like 1 sale for every 40 hops so far.

i've not had a refund yet either, fingers crossed i don't get any for a while too!

good post Three3s ... + rep

on a couple of points you've noted ...

definitely if you can get number 1 in google for a product name you can get sales from it ... it's easy to do for a couple of days, but then the so called "google dance" hits you ...

and as for changing pages ... well, i've learnt that one the hard way too ... but your slip may not necessarily be due to your changes, it might just be the google dance ... if you're using blogger you may not be able to, but what i do when that happens is look at my copy of the old page and figure out what key elements changed - e.g. yesterday i discovered i'd forgotten the H1 (header tags) ... makes a diff, perhaps not so easy if you're using blogger ...

finally :
* if you haven't already and you're able to, setup google analytics to show you where your traffic comes from ...
* also use google's webmaster tools ... combined these really help to show you how google sees your page and figure out how to maximise traffic

cheers antz. yeah everytime i get to number one, it lasts 3/4 days and then i'm out of there. i use google analytics on all my sites but not sure about google's webmaster tools. i noticed i've favourited the page in my bookmarks but never done anything with it. i'll have to take a look.

As if things couldn't get any better, i had a day without a sale after i posted this then made another sale the next day. woke up today having made 3 sales overnight!

i'm loving this now!

Congratz... did you happen to know which way the sales came?

(Organic or was it through some of your promotion directly is what I mean... as naturally, when you are using articles etc they will build links into the site and help gain some additional organic traffic).

Always good to know where the success came from so you stand a better chance of replicating it. Hopefully more to come

[three3s]

hey ganceann. i've started trying different methods of promotion. i'm extremely drunk just now but i'll try to explain what i have done...

i should say before i reveal this, theres probably a lot of people doing this already but i really haven't noticed if they are, i feel like i'm flying solo and owning the place...

YAHOO ANSWERS!!!

i know everybody has probably thought about doing it or dabbled with it in the past. if you dig deep there is multiple subjects where you can easily provide help and promote products at the same time.

i sat on it for one hour last nite just answering like mad, woke up today to the tune of $87 all from yahoo answers.

ok, it's not a long term solution but it WILL get you sales in the short twerm. you can easily punish it for around $50-$100 per day i think, if you promoted accroos the board for a few hours a day.

iwhen i first heard on DP about 4 months ago that yahoo answrrs was a way to promote affiliate products i had a look and couldn't see any value. it's like everybody says though, test something and try different things. i'm no expert/guru but i 'm starting to know what people mean when they say that.

i delved deep on yahoo answers and found so many profitable and untouched areas by affiliates it's unreal.

another area i've recently started dabbling in is youtube. i've picked up so many good tips and theres so many products you could successfully promote on there.

these two things are the basis i'm going to create a product (ebook) on, along with other profitable techniques i've discovered in my very short IM creer. it'll probably be worth very little so i'll likely just give it away to join a list or maybe sell it for $10 or something, not sure?

from the ebooks i've read in the past, i think they're all pretty general. i could lay out an extremely detailed way to go about things that definitely work from personal experience. i know people could make a returrn on their purchase easily, within hours but every make money online product out there offers that. most of them say nonsense like you can make " a $zuhbillion in 30 minutes, for FREE!".

is there any value in a product that says: "look, you'll make about $50-$100 a day from this, it won't make you a millionaire, it won't make you a grand master general 9th Dan hero affilliate marketer over night, it will just give you the info to make half decent money".

or is it all about the hype an telling people they can be legends?

i don't know, hope you folks can comment on this. especislly norb with all his experience.

i'll probably regret this post tomorrow.

[fastR]

congrats mate, feels good when things start to happen.

Same thing happened to me a while back and was extremely happy, now I'm busy trying to add conversion tracking to find out where the profitable hops are coming from. It's easy at the start because you can sort of cross reference your traffic stats and sort of guess, but as your traffic gets more diversified as it does over time, it gets more difficult to track.

Thanks for letting us know about yahoo answers, another good tip is to create a few accounts on there and make your own questions and answer them on another account.

yeah tried that before too. have you ever tried using yaho answers through a proxy? every time i try to post a question it gets stuck.

[willyboy104]

Thats excellent three3s, really good I hope it continues for you good luck for getting another sale tomorrow.

So are you promoting just NC's products and using just bum marketing?

[three3s]

no i'm promoting different products. i'm doing about 10 in total just now, 33 which are norbs.

just made another slae too

[willyboy104]

Really thats excellent. Are you promoting just by bum marketing? Also how do you keep up with managing 10 products?

[three3s]

i meant "3" of them were norbs by the way, not 33!

i've not done the full promotion with all of them, only really norbs ones. the others i'm just testing to see if they convert well.

one of them i bought a domain and linked directly from my articles, isn't converting well at all. makes me think the pre sell page is the best route to go even though its a pain in the arse writing them all the time.

yeah i haven't spent any money on markleting, just buying a couple of domain names. going to give the PPC a go soon, see how that goes.

[three3s]

WOOHOO, just got another Brotherhood sale!

When i checked my analytics to see where the hop came from there wasn't one there. does this mean that it may have came from a hop a while back and they've decided to go back and buy it another time?

makes me think even more how powerful having email lists could be!

[antantnz]

three3s sounds like you're owning it!! i've doing this a similar amount of time as you, bit of a quiet patch at the moment but great to see some inspiration!!

keep on doing what you're doing - it's working!!

[three3s]

yeah cheers mate, it's been much of a muchness te first few months just learning but things are getting exciting now!

clickbanks updated in the analytics now and it says the brotherhood sale came from my blog landing page but from 0 hops so it must've been from someone whos came back after visiting before.
