My First $1000.00 Day On Azoogle

3 years, 275 failed campaigns, dozens of landing pages, thousands of man hours of research and PPC tweaking.... but I finally hit my first $1,000 day in affiliate marketing. I solely use Azoogle and Adwords for now, but have experimented with other advertising platforms and networks and will be rolling those out shortly.



I suppose the point of this post is this: affiliate marketing works. It's a hell of a lot of work, but test it, tweak it, and just DO IT and eventually you'll find your one golden ticket. I started on this mission 3 years ago. I was in complete awe of the kind of money people were making online... I spent a lot of those early years reading and not really DOING.

It wasn't until this past August (2007) that I began working full-time 12-16 hours a day on finally making this work. That was when I joined Azoogle. Fortunately, I'm a full-time college student, so I do have time on my side for now.

Anyway... some things I will divulge:

- My main money maker is ringtones.
- My main traffic vehicle is Adwords. I spent $500 on PPC to yield the $1000+ day.
- I don't promote using ANY keywords that contain the word 'ringtone(s)' or any synonym or derivation thereof.
- The content network is your friend, your best friend. If you wonder why all the 'big name' bloggers out there bash the content network, well, it's for a reason: They don't want you in their playground.
- I learned most of my basic strategies from WickedFire and DigitalPoint forums.
- I design my own landing pages (but this may change).
- Some of my other short term goals include launching other offers in other niches with my profit and exploring other traffic sources. All the eggs in one basket = bad idea.

Other than that, ask away, and I'll be happy to answer time allowing. Next stop, $5,000.00 a day!

 

Congrats! Thanks for the tips and do you use any dating sites to help reach that 1000$ per day?

 

I only promote ringtones for now. If you're asking if I run ads on dating sites FOR ringtones, then no.

 

That's awesome. Congrats man. Keep it up.

 

Hearty Congrats!!!!

I agree your strategy... AdWords always sent better traffic than any other!

Can you explain a little bit about this point.

"I don't promote using ANY keywords that contain the word 'ringtone(s)' or any synonym or derivation thereof."

 

sure, I mean that i have an ad group for 'cat food' (example, not for real) and it converts for ringtones. i have an additional buffer landing page to transfer the traffic from their topic of choice (cat food in this case) onto my ringtones landing page. this takes a lot of testing, as 98% of niches/subjects are duds. sorry if it's too vague, but that's really the best i can do. think 'outside of the box'.

cat food ad group ---> cat food landing page ---> ringtones landing page ---> offer page

again, cat food is a pure example off the top of my head i don't use it.

 

Congrats on reaching the 1k marked and thanks for sharing those useful tips to us.

And of course I have a question for you

Do you only use Content Network and what match types do you bid on (broad match “phrase match” [exact match])?

How do you exactly redirect your visitors from the "cat food landing page" to the "ringtones landing page"?

Thanks

 

Excellent questions fl1p, I second all of those please

 

And why not go straight from catfood to the offer page? What's the benefit of the third page (ringtones landing page)?

"cat food ad group ---> cat food landing page ---> ringtones landing page ---> offer page"

 

Relevancy.

Nice job bro. Just don't give too much of your information away

 

congrats!! keep up the hard work!

 

In my "cat food ad group ---> cat food landing page ---> ringtones landing page ---> offer page" model, there is about 1 1/2 steps missing. They are the steps that typically make the conversions happen. Sorry, but that step is my secret

Traffic relevancy would be correct. Funnel your relevant visitors all the way down to what you want to sell, and most importantly:

Go after people in the "buying" state of mind.

It's very do-able.

 

Broad - I never saw a difference using match type. Google scans your ad group for a common theme - that's the most important element of managing a content network campaign.

 

Nice to read about your story and hard work.

I am in affiliate since 3 months but the results are NIL...

I think i have to wait for 3 years.

 

Congratulations on your success!

I found this pretty bizarre as well:

As I read through that, I felt like I was reading my auto-biography. I too am a full-time college student. I started affiliate marketing in August/September of last year and joined Azoogle late in August. This month was the first time I had a $1k day in Azoogle, and I've since had a $3.5k day. Now I'm shooting for $5k, and hell, maybe even $10k

Keep up the good work!

And to all of the other people looking in, wishing for the same success, like he's said, it is entirely possible for any of you to do this. It takes hard work, it takes perseverance (extremely important), and yes, it does take money.

 

Congrats! Making it in actually 6 monthes (since Aug 2007) is great!

 

Holy crap - well done man. Hope to follow in those numbers!

 

lol welele done! Congrats on that! Hard work pays buddy keepy it up!

 

Amazing it looks like everyone is hitting it big this month. I wonder if you are all doing the same offer. lol Congrats!

 

Thanks for answering my questions. Keep up the good work
