    $50 per day is my goal too, keep us updated on your progress.
    I reckon CPA offers do convert better, especially with the current economic situation, I think that people will be more willing to submit their information than fork out $30 for an eBook.

    lol.

    Article marketing/bum marketing will work if you have a schedule and keep a consistent output of articles.

    I wouldn't just put articles on ezinearticles.com. I would also look into social hub websites such as squidoo, hubpages, helium and I am sure there are a few other to mention as well.

    Also take an hour a day, to learn more about organic SEO techniques, and learn how to build authority in you niche. The blog that you have can be a great tool to establish this, and post articles and links to other blogs pointing to your blog.

    There you should concentrate on selling and promoting the notion of purchasing product X.

    Exactly. You can either do that^ or you can put the same amount of time into learning how to link-bait articles and that way, not only will authority sites link to you, but also tons of little sites. Those translate directly to Google votes and that will allow you to rank for your targeted keywords, and thus: conversions for free (bum marketing).

    Yes, you still need to write articles but not as many. Link-baiting means quality, not quantity. The funny thing is -- you could get the exposure with a simple image if it's funny/weird/amazing enough, you just have to keep an eye out. Some people even stage their own things for link baiting. What better way to be first on the scene if you're the one making the news?

    Just my $0.02 for anyone taking this method seriously.
