From 0 to $1000 in 30 days

    Can it be done? Through affiliate marketing alone?

    I have a hosting account, some domains and design skills, but no money to spend on advertising.

    I was never too much into affiliate marketing. But I know one thing, you can refer more is the scope of earning.
    $1000 in 30 days can be done, I have heard of people doing that. Plz do share with me if you are able to learn the trick. Good luck!

    that's roughly 33 dollars a day, its more than possible if you work for it. I'm no affiliate market guru, frankly i suck at it so i can't offer too much tips but to SEO and social bookmark your site and get some traffic first.

    $1000 in 30 days might be a little hard to achieve if you have little or no experience in affiliate marketing and have no advertising budget to start with.

    From my experience, this can easily be done when you have a least a few well-ranked websites already (in the same niche of course). This allows you to drive some targeted traffic to your new site and help it achieve higher rankings in SERPS.

    So if this is your first affiliate marketing project, my advice would be to:

    - Find a good niche (yeah I know, this is easier to get said than done)
    - Setup a blog (Wordpress)
    - Write at least 5 useful and unique articles a week
    - Submit your articles to social networking sites (don't spam!)
    - Post some coupon and discounts on your blog

    A year ago from now, I made a little over $500 a month from Adsense (with over 10,000 unique visitors a day so that kinda sucks). I then moved on to affiliate marketing.

    My main website didn't make any money in the first 5 months but then in June it made $3,000 as it started to get better rankings in Google. From there it peaked at $20,500 in one month but usually I make about $10,000 - $13,000 a month now with little to no advertising, only SEO.

    That said, my advice to you would be to look at what others are doing and try to do it better than them.

    Good luck!

    There aren't any "tricks" just like there aren't any tricks to opening a successful brick-and-mortar business.

    I may get my ass kicked for saying this but if you want to learn affiliate marketing step-by-step, go to ppcclassroom dot com

    I swear I have nothing to do with these guys but it's the best course out there for beginners.

    Unfortunately ppcclassroom didn't exist when I started so I wasted a lot of time on affiliate marketing blogs and forums. Not that forums are crap or anything but for a beginner, it's sometime hard to know where to begin.

    Here's a little something to help you get started:

    - Focus on one product / service and write 5 or 6 useful articles around it.
    - Use the Similar Posts plugin for Wordpress (get it at rmarsh dot com)
    - Post a coupon for this product

    Usually the plugin will display a link to your coupon in all the posts you've previously made.

    Now repeat this for other products in the same niche so that you have at least 5 new posts a week.

    Coupons worked great for me in the beginning. People looking for coupons are definitively in "buying mode".

    0 to 1000 dollars without any advertisement could be hard in short term but i believe it is doable in middle term..

    @BeefyChong

    Thanks for your comments.

    I have some ideas for niches, they seem to be high paying but still majorly undiscovered, not sure how I am going to get the traffic to my sites free but its worth a go, nothing to lose and whatever I do make I can use in the next 30 days :D

    One niche that seemed to have potential is baby strollers. I've had a blog about baby strollers (stroller reviews and stuff) and posted some coupons. It started to make money quite fast (not a fortune though) but I had too many projects at once so I dropped it.

    And has competitive as it may seem, coupons websites can make you some money. I used to maintain couponcodesvault dot com but again, I had to many projects so I focused on my most lucrative ones instead. Even though couponcodesvault hasn't been updated in a long time, it still earn me some money once in a while (about $300 a month).

    I do believe that people have done it.

    I think that one noteworthy feature of affiliate marketing, in general, is that to some extent hard work can substitute for spending money. If you know how to do it, and are good at it, article marketing can take you a long way - certainly to $1,000 in a month. But it's real work and there's a real learning-curve involved in it, as well. So I think whether you can realistically achieve it in a month will depend on what writing and article-submitting skills you have to start with.

    Baby products in general is not a niche. Try being more specific. That's why I focused on baby strollers only.

    You want to be a big fish in a small pond. Not the opposite.

    Hi
    They are easily achievable, I have been working with two affiliate networks and making $1k-$1.5k per month easily.
    Only you need to do it to choose write network and write affiliate program that converts well.
