How Do You Guys Do It?

    I recently signed up for Azoogle and also xy7.com but am not receiving any serious profits. What exactly are you guys doing that I don't know about? I see some of you posting that you are making anywhere from $1800 to $3200 a month after expenses. Is this for real?

    Yes, it is really not as hard as it sounds. It often takes some money(not thousands, but a couple hundred is useful) to make money. If you put in the effort, you can make $3,000 a month too. :)

    I have some money to spend, but it feels like there is some general concept that I am just not grasping. It seems like everyone is profiting but me. Thanks for any help!

    Read around the forums, on the first page on the affiliate marketing forum there was an excellent guide to email submits about ten minutes ago. I don't honestly have many other guides that I know of.

    I'm making around $4000 per month without spending a dime. But don't focus on what other people are doing. Think of something unique that no one else has thought of or implemented yet. I've only had a couple good ideas in the past 5 years, but each of them has made me thousands of dollars per month for many months before they slow down.

    I'll echo what people have said. It's possible but takes some experimenting and some time.

    Feel free to check out my blog about aff marketing (in signature) for some tips.

    I to, should bring in about 4 grand this month, and im not spending 1 cent.
    I can finally consider myself sucessful at this internet game thing. But believe me, I have been working on it for years (AND IM STILL LEARNING EVERYDAY!)

    Honestly, in a nutshell. You just gotta have something people want, and a way to make money off it. its that simple, yet that hard as well.

    Dont get over-whelmed, just take it one step at a time.

    i don't understand how you can make thousands without spending a dime unless you have your own websites or you spam.

    You gotta put some money to get back some money. I still didnt reach these figures in these thread by am improving. But dont through all the eggs in one basket. Read first and then spend.

    :rolleyes:

    If it was that easy to make money without spending anything on advertising than everyone would do it. I can assure you I do not spam or own a high traffic website.

    Wow... I haven't posted on here for years!!


    Making $4-$5,000 monthly w/o using PPC or other paid forms of advertising is VERY reasonable. While I use P.P.C. for about 99% of my traffic... you can achieve FREE traffic by some of the following methods:

    * Participating in forums and putting links in your signature...
    * S.E.O. on your website (takes time)...
    * Writing tons of quality articles on directories or on blogs...
    * Having a huge number of friends on Facebook or Twitter and posting links on your status...
    * Putting a gun to stranger's heads outside of your local grocery store... and forcing them to go to ur affiliate offer at the threat of death.

    You get the point :D

    I'm in the same boat. I've been running three blogs for almost a year now, add content almost everyday and I'm still not doing squat, maybe $5/day in adsense, but non of my azoogle ads are doing anything. Maybe you guys are right, maybe it's time to spend some money, BUT WHERE? Where would you recommend spending this money? Adsense?

    You mean spending money on Adwords, not Adsense...

    You don't need to spend money, you just need targeted traffic. Most blogs don't receive targeted traffic. You find a way to generate targeted traffic, you will make money.

    This guys is a perfect example of how to promote his affiliate links without spending a dime. He spams forums, not a good thing to do, as you can see he is now banned. If he had actually given you some solid advise and then discretely passed on his link he may have not been banned. Be careful not to spam, and not to bs in forums. (I removed his spam link)

    All of those are solid tips and great ways to build traffic, but I will say I haven't had alot of luck with twitter personally. Seems to be junk traffic.

    This may sound crazy to ask, but I am searching Google for this azgoogle you guys are talking about, but cannot see much, replacing Google Ads? or AdSense? I am trying to get into this game after being in the programming game for over 13 years...
