1000th Post | What A JOURNEY! | Time To Give Back | 100K a year recipes inside

So it was only a matter of time I guess, when you first get into the game, and start finding all the communities and groups of pros it's a wild and daunting task figuring out what is bullshit and what is the real deal! You think 'Wow that guy has 18K posts, he must be crazy rich and experienced - i'll NEVER get there!'. Well today, I feel older, wiser, and can't believe I've made 1000 footprints into this community - and about 80% of it is factual, cohesive, and real advice, or opportunities to earn from great programs... 10% is filtering idiots from here, and 10% is random.

Since joining this forum, I've made a TON of friends, associates, products, errors, successes, wasted time, read, implemented, got schooled, got pissed!!, got serious, and finally - starting getting teh moniez.

Today is going to be my reflection of the last 1000 posts and how to take your experience here and at other forums seriously enough to crack that 100K a year goal. Jan 1st. I made a thread about achieving 100K, well - I've somewhat had to reset that goal because it's been more than reached and GREAT things have happened to my whole operation as a result of many factors including belonging to forums.

My first ever campaign with CB was the TVonPC products, and I sold a boat load of them - here is my WHOLE campaign - you are free to use graphics, adwords campaigns (i don't think g allows them so other ppc avenues), and seo.

TVonPC profitable campaign:

ads: I tested a lot, and ran on both content and search, the best out of 14 ad groups/ads was...

3000 channels on your PC
Watch amazing TV, movies, radio
No More TV Bills-One Low Fee-Buy>
wxw.your.com

Short longtail key list:

live tv on pc
sat tv on pc

internet tv streams
adult tv watch
dish tv on pc program

Then I got a few interesting emails saying that I basically 'better stop promoting' this from G. because of the copyright factors on my landing page, so I said screw it - and made my own version of the product at http://www.iptuber.com

Second up, I thought "As I'm promoting these products, I'm wasting time not making my own" - and so I started to mine the markets for areas that I wanted to get into as a publisher. I've been marketing for 12 years so getting into CB was a blessing for me and it wasn't long before I realized how profitable and automated I could make my whole operation. My initial thought was "Wouldn't it be cool to stop chasing by brands for campaign work? Just make my own brands and products". Well another highlight is that for a few months now I have said NO to all the design/media work that has come into my studio, because my own brands and products are both taking up my time and really filling my pockets without any long term babysitting or money chasing like with clients... YAY!

Anyway so then I started on the fatloss campaigns with FL4I - and did the same, milked it for a while and got bored of it - here is my campaign for that - YOUR'S FREE TODAY - i've shared this before, but feel free to use it if you haven't seen it:

At this point I launched my first batch of products - some did great - others phailed les miserables: I launched

http://www.projectwealthy.com
http://www.getreadytopass.com
http://www.digitub.com
http://www.seduction4idiots.com

All were/are with CB, and here I went through quite the learning curve re what it takes to be a publisher, let alone a successful one. IT'S HARD to get everything just right, from your pages to your conversions, to your aff recruitment, to supporting the whole family both affs and customers with manual retention, to blah blah blah, and so I took a little break to REALLY prepare myself for the next batch of products, to make sure they launched with a bang, and finally allow me to makeh teh moniez on a bigger level...

Quietly though, I also promote others products and started to partner with those launching... here are a few more full blown profitable campaigns I'm giving up today:

My water4life (gas) campaign: converted beautifully!! I don't care for the graphics or the page or the domain anymore, feel free to make a bid to take the whole thing off my hands. while the graphics can't be used for your landers, the rest can:

My second batch of products were all in dev. and I really focused on putting as much quality as I could into my projects. Thus - this attracted a very healthy and high quality affiliate team, and I head to learn how to centralize and communicate with them on a mass level, and automate it all somehow... That's when NicheChoppers was born and my forum opened up http://www.nichechoppers.com - This really helped my solidify a good stance among CB publishers and aff's alike - and a flock of both came in waves (and is still coming, now even stronger/bigger)...

The second batch of products and some partnered projects made included:
http://www.assassindiaries.com
http://www.go-natural.net
http://www.letsdancelouis.com
http://www.websocials.com

Things got better - I had a lot of aff's on my side now - and recruitment was easier regarding my launches. Each one just grew bigger and bigger - and I understood even MORE now on what it took to launch with a bang like some of the biggest CB names do....

I decided - OK - Screw everything I've done to date, I need to really think BIG for the next few - I can't just launch 50 sites and expect them ALL to be winners one after the other - nor do I want to anymore, as each one comes with its own set of needs and I'm finding myself babysitting again but with lot's of random small tasks for each project... leverage and automation had to be introduced. So in talks with many people and mentors and customers and aff's (tried to reach all levels and cherry pick what I needed to incorporate into my success/goals)...

Started to really dig deep inside - I really DON'T want to be that guy with 18K posts on DP and still trying to make my million/billion/own the world I want to actually stop using computers altogether damnit! I want to stop thinking of what the public needs/wants/how to further influence them/mine markets/monetize... I like money but have always gone through phases of who I attract with my talents and how sometimes I look back and think "Fack that wasn't worth it - I hate myself for helping that guy/girl/brand"... So I focused on eliminating the RFQ's that came in and focused even more on creating a fundamental campaign/brand(s)/income stream so it wasn't coming in with small increments x each program x 50 programs... wow I'm going deep here...

I started get really bored man! Decided I'm going to focus some more on networking, team building, just talking to people a lot and trying my best to drop amazing advice, get more reps, get a bigger team... I succeeded with posting a few killer threads here and at a few other forums, and that was all the motivation I needed to see another light and another doorway...

Motivational & Marketing advice threads:

One of my partners threw the word 'forex' at me a few times and I'm like 'nahh, not my cup of tea', however he was persistent and really wanted us to take a crack at this new market... Having a big heart, I said phuckit - "I'm going to partner with you on this, after all it's totally new to me and I'm getting bored with launches". Well, just goes to show that sometimes no matter what your core interests may be in the marketing field, or what YOU think you'd be good at selling or launching, those around you along with the risks in life that you take with them will often predict your next moves a lot more than you do on your own... I got influenced, and I'm glad I did! Shortly after getting into the new markets, I was able to achieve my first 10K check within the first two weeks!



I though OMG - FINALLY - It's quite a bit of money, and collectively all my CB accounts put together do paint a really nice picture for me bi-weekly, however this is my TOP SHOTTA! So we quickly strategized a way to dominate this niche and finally give my affiliate family something they could REALLY chew on! A few BIG affiliates decided to come on board, and with a little re-launch to their outreach - scored my biggest prize to date shortly after the above:



Within the next 2 weeks, I must have trained the most aff's I ever have and probably popped 50-75 ClickBank cherries to making their first sales.... Had to post proof and made a Success Section with my families successes.

Since, we've launched a few more programs in this niche and a few more are still coming, but overall - my WHOLE operation is now fine tuned, greased well, the trust is there, the rep is there, teh moniez is there, and it looks like I'm on my way to... somewhere great!!

I can't spill the beans much more than I have here, however I will also drop the 20 things that make me my moniez:

*My computer
*My phone
*My creativity
*My talent
*My ability to pull all nighters
*My coffee
*My photoshop/dreamweaver/flash/soundforge/3Dmax/cubase/dvdarchitect
*My rolodex
*My 'hooked like crack' loyalty to xx forums (now dieting)
*The fact that I'm still single! Less to spend time/money on...(looking though!)
*The motivation to 'JUST DO IT' and not lurk/procrastinate
*The ability to listen to those more successful,but be careful in choosing them.
*The ability to really stay passionate and positive when my ship seems to be sinking.

I'd like to thank a few people from here that have been either an inspiration, of help, a pain in the butt, or an addition to my senses in one way or another:

*Swerd: Has grown with me, and I him - and it looks like he is next up to have teh moniez on a massive scale - good on you mate, and no hard feelings re you know what.
*MegaRudy: One of my first aff's, have watched him grow a LOT
*Speed: His screenshots are infectious
*Surf4fun: Biggest pain in this forums ass but does speak the truth sometimes.
*TheForexGuy: Tom is a genuine person and I wouldn't think twice to help him.
*Lemonarian: Always willing to throw in his .02 be it positive or neg, real deal homie.
*Terryd: Stays active and involved in his quest, and it shows, good chap.
*Bunch: Very witty and makes me laugh, also committed to being a success.
*RhysDavies: Almost did my first project at CB with him, it didn't work out but we've bumped into each other and he is also an amazing dude.
*BusinessCoach: Met recently but reminds me of me - one thurough and meticulous dude!
*Nadavs: Pushes the envelope, lil' troublemaker at times but that's what this biz is about - that edge...
*agbeyegbe: cool subtle and real
*CanEh: Fellow CDN IM'er - proud eh?!
*Wiper: Not afraid to stand up for himself, is very detailed
*Patchkaa: Ruffles my feathers and keeps me on my toes
*TazerDude: Just don't taze me - I'm polish too..
*Zibblu: Perhaps the most polite and professional one of us all - still haven't even seen him curse - FACKU !
*Anarmyofme: Like a bullet - campaigns are up/ranked/he makes teh moniez
*Alexs: Realy awesome bretherin to have on your side - just a really good person.
*Domaniac: Inspiring, thoughtful and really knows his stuff re PPC
*Exilus: word!
*Ganceann: How could I forget - So 'real deal' that he is my mod at my forum now - and even schools me sometimes


I'm sorry I'm sure i'm forgetting others so a special thank you to anyone I've crossed paths with. My CB n00b days are over, but my publisher days are not, and so the next batch of products are actually going to focus on getting my butt OFF of CB (because I'll be a gazillionaire!)... hehe Hopefully this post has inspired some of you to reach for the moon, land in the stars, and fall into the biggest success you've ever imagined...

To label myself: I'm an artist first, an expressionist second, and a good business man third. I don't think about tomorrow, I think about next month and next year. I think about what I need, who I need, and what resources I have, to enable great things to happen - and I make them happen! So today, MAKE THINGS HAPPEN for yourself don't just dream about it.

Cheers to NOT having another 1000 posts actually, I'll be dieting from here, but you can always catch me at my home base in my sigs...

Yours always in success,
Norb Czufis. **Just read it over - see some typos - sorry but I'm not proofing this gigantore

 

what a cool post - thanks!!!

 

Excellent post! We need more people like you in this world. Congratulations on your success and thanks for all your help.

 

Great post!
Very helpful. Ii feel like theres gonna be some new PPC ads on the market for a few niches very soon....

You, Norb, remind me of my older brother.....He is my main coach in my IM enterprise and his skills, his humor, his professionalism and his will to help others at no cost compare to yours. (except hes in adult marketing, not in "newbie mainstream marketers" as he calls us

its very nice to know someone like you. Its seems like you've been here since the very start...and Oh god i have JUST noticed your join date! Im more ancient than you on this forum! NOOB HAHAHAHAH!!! !!!

But there's something i didn't understand so well....Did you kind of mention you were leaving digital point forums? I hope not! Alot of people need you here, may it be for your great tips or simply as an inspiration. Im not excluded!

Hey, What's that "Word" next to my name's supposed to mean?

 

Amazing stuff Norb!
... I mean... AMAZING!

 

Great post. Really inspiring. Congrats. Someday, I want to post something similar like this in the Adsense section

 

NC, this is truly a great post my friend. Believe it or not couple days ago, I talked to one of my partner about you and during our conversation, I told him that you should be retired by now or at least take a big vacation from everything, including CB, because the truth is, you don't have anything else to prove in here.

Today, I am maybe your loyal aff. but the world is small that tomorrow I might be one of your partner. So Good luck with everything else, take that vacation and when you drop by in Ottawa, give me a sign.

Megarudy

 

Keep and eye on adwords...they're about to explode with your ex-campaigns

Well done on your 1000th post but even more congrats are in order with the way your business is going and the way you handle yourself around here.

Yourself and Swerd are two vendors who are really starting to set the standard for the rest of us both in the way you design your sites and the way you both handle your affiliates.

In fact I'm actually starting to judge other peoples sites by comparing them to yours and Swerds and really that's probably not a fair thing to do, but it is something that vendors should probably aspire to.

I can only see your business getting bigger and stronger in the long run and as they say "You reap what you sow" so I look forward to see your next photo which will be you in front of a BMW,Porche or Ferrari perhaps

Well done!!

 

mate, I think.. yes.. yes, its a tear in my eyes..

Amazing post and your are true inspiration for me and just about every CB enthusiast on these forums.

A huge congrats in your success and always remember to take a break and enjoy what you have.

I think I am a lot like you:

- I don’t want to be on computer for ever. I want to make my millions then move on. - Help out my family and enjoy life.
- No girlfriend, this gives my sooooo much more time. (Looking though: P )
- motivation, creativity and long sleepless nights

Again, well done and all the best for your future ventures.

Swerd

 

Like you always say, KARMA man, good call. Continued success to you and everyone else here at DP.

 

Excellent stuff as always NCMedia. Thanks for sharing.

 

The fact that you have so much going on and yet take the time to post something like this speaks to the kind of person you are. We are all lucky to have someone like you on this forum.

I can think of no one that I would aspire to be other than you. Your posts and comments are always so measured and thought out.

I hope your diet from DP fails as most diets do because we will miss you greatly.

WOW, what a great post. You know nothing inspires like a true success story. You are the man and I'm happy for your success. I have learned to trust myself and take larger risks. After reading your post I believe the world is my playground and nothing is impossible to me.

Thanks a million

Norb,

F**king awesome! Keep up the great work! Your story is truly an inspiration, and I do see you going very far in your travels in Internet Marketing.

Norb has been a great help to me, and to countless affiliates here, who want to get the ultimate edge in affiliate marketing. Norb has helped me GREATLY with my campaigns for a couple of his products, and has never given me bad advice! You want a serious publisher that looks at his affiliates as his TEAM to succeed, Norb is going to be that publisher.

Norb has also taught us a valuable lesson with breaking out of the comfort zone, and playing the game well enough, and not quitting when the times get tough.

To inspiring more affiliates and making more successes in this short life, Keep on kicking ass! Looking forward to working with you on bigger and badder things in the future!

Tom

Thanks for the inspiring tale Norb. While i'm still brand new and didn't understand the half of that, it was still well written and glad to hear of your success.

 

YAY Happy 1000 Post!!
You are a great inspiration to me, I think you know that, I think you know your one to many people here in DP

 

Yes, that's true. You don't waste your time on posting useless replies Always important stuff, and advice to succeed.

Very soon I will be joining the affiliates, who are massively promoting your products

Wait to see me in your list of top affiliates

 

I have been waiting for your 1000th post Norb

You are a inspiration to many of us affiliates here on DP. We are blessed to have such a esteem respected vendor/publisher in our midst.

You just keep on giving and giving and giving. Your posts are always valuable, this 1000th post can be packaged as a ebook and sold for huge profits, but look at what you did... You gave away a goldmine. No wonder why you will surpass your $100,000 goal in a few months and that is why we affiliates will continue to support you and your products.

Thank you for all that you have done for me personally, thank you very much.

May you continue to prosper forever and forever.

 

WOW, Norb
Great post as usual, and very inspirational.
