Clickbank Journal 10 Months $60,000 All Free Traffic

I would agree with you if he was planning to release a product at the end of this thread and market it to the subscribers (initially I thought this was his intention so decided to stop posting) but he did say somewhere that he isn't going to so I don't think there's much in it for him. I don't think he should feel obliged to prove his earnings because what money he makes is his personal business IMO as he is not selling an e-book afterwards so if people want to believe him or not that's their choice.

...although slightly dubious about most of Pete's articles being submitted to articlebase as the return seems a bit too high. I thought that kind of return might be possible if main articles were submitted to Ezine but not articlebase... it could just be clever marketing...

 

Who cares?

People can either use Pete's methods or not - it's not like he's trying to sell anyone his "system"

Seriously - you claim to make lots of money too, and I've never even seen you post screenshots, let alone a video.

 

To answer your question about returns on articles...I've seen people clear over 4k in their first month of article marketing with less than 100 articles and others who submit over 500 a month and return with a terrible conversion rate so it all boils down to how you do your marketing. Pete has done the authentic thing and not revealed a damn thing about this (as opposed to shooting his mouth off trying to build a rapport with everyone) but has been helpful in sharing ranking strategies and such that people can find out anyway. If he did have some kind of monetizing angle, he would have shown it by now and not just by drawing affiliates to those products...that's a ridiculous idea.

 

I don't know if Pete has made the money he claims...and in fact i don't actually care but one thing that i know sure is that his method works 100% i been making money using his techniques since i started reading this thread early on.

Pete whats going on dude....give some updates of what have you been up to lately..

 

*Looks at thread's tags*

Hey Al, did you add the "pete lies" tag?

 

Would you just post a youtube video proof and stop lying for a change?

Al.

 

The fact that you previously made a journal ''$100,000 in ten months'' shows that you think making that much is an achievable goal so why slate Pete when he's just doing the same thing. It's not jealousy is it? Like I said he isn't releasing an e-book that he's trying to sell to you guys so he doesn't owe anyone anything.

Why worry so much about someone else's earnings anyway? it's money in their pocket, it's just a waste of time caring about what someone else earns. No one's being charged to view this thread so I don't get what the big deal is. Because like Dim said, he's not selling you a system. If he was then I would have a problem with there being no proof but he isn't .

 

Michelle you just didn't get my point

Sorry bout' that.. It's the earnings I care about cause' they aren't mine . It's about being honest with everyone else.

Al.

 

I don't think it is completely pointless to care about the money he is actually making. I mean if affiliates are believing in him, then his methods better be effective and capable of making the kind of money he claims he is making.

I personally have no problems or issues with Pete and his strategies. I think he is genuine to an extent. I really appreciate what he has been doing do far to help other affiliates to try to make it in this very difficult world or internet marketing, but it just seems more and more people are now doubting his honesty. Whatever.

 

No, I understood you. My only gripe was that you called him a liar unless he posted proof. Do you Americans think it's 'guilty until proven innocent'. then?

 

I see people calling pete fake but i havent seen a SINGLE valid reason WHY he would waste his time making all of this up. I am petes subscriber and I never received any affiliate offer from him, not even a request to promote his products. Instead I received 2 products which pete wrote himself to help us (wasting his valuable time) completely for free!

So how dare you call Pete fake?!!

 

way to go Michelle!! )

 

Once again - how about you post proof of your earnings...since you claim to be making thousands per month.



If you don't post a video/screenshots, Pete shouldn't have to either.

 

Well Pete.. It looks like you are actually a celebrity now.

Welcome to Stardom.....

You haven't made it until you have true haters

In all honestly I was a little bummed when I read Pete's "articles". They are keyword stuffed garbage.

So, when he said he was writing many articles a day I was impressed. Not any more.

But, he is making money so I guess that works for him.

On the other hand, if he is making this much money writing crap articles I guess that could also be inspirational to some. I couldn't figure out why he didn't want to write for EA. It's because EA doesn't post keyword stuffed articles.

ArticleBase is much less picky. Therefore it's easier to advertise.

I think it is unfair of people here to attack Pete personally. He seems like a good guy and I truly don't think he has any mal intent.

Pete has inspired me to up my game and I will forever be thankful for him for that.

Pete also has an obligation to keep this thread going for 2 more months. So please don't give him any excuses to stop.

 

It wasn't me that started the thread so why would I waste time making a vid with my earnings?

If you want to know more about how much money I make online, simply google some of my ID's that I hang on various forums with and you'll notice that I have recently sold websites worth $xx,xxx. I would keep my mouth shut if I were you. LoL

Now honestly some mods should have the thread closed down. Sincerely this isn't about making money with clickbank but just "pretending to do so".

The clickbank forums on DP has became a hang out for all the nerds that are launching crappy products, useless discussions, and endless debates .. Honestly most of you need to grow up and think about making something outta of your lifes instead of stuffing these thread with such non-sense daily.

Can't you see that this guy whatever his name is .. Petehols is making such a fool of all of you, since he started this thread? He isn't able to submit some quality articles let alone making money. I can guarantee that those articles aren't even converting sales.

This is just my last post, I just wanted to be an eye opener for most of you guys here that are just wasting your precious time... Listening to someone that hasn't made enough with clickbank to put a bread on the table. Pete has stopped reporting stats because he had no more stats to report, and concentrated on producing two crappy products that unfortunatelly are in the marketplace now, but obviously it's hard to make moneyz out of rotten wood so there you go guys...

Not here to show of or anything but Pete's articles, landing pages and everything that has made his activity more transparent has only proved that he's just another wanna be affiliate and has nothing special to share with you.

factchecker - In all honestly I was a little bummed when I read Pete's "articles". They are keyword stuffed garbage. = = I couldn't agree more. Those type of articles would never convert sales. They don't even get traffic in the first place, let alone his landing pages.

Michelle - I'm not an American, I'm European.. and yeah I prefer to think of someone being guilty until proven innocent. Because Pete's really in the Guilty stage and I would like everyone that agrees with me to report it on the thread.

And those of you who would think that pulling a 200 gravity for a clickbank product off the DP forums is possible, would better go and study some of the succesful vendors on clickbank and how they built their businesses. There's no way to make a product successful by making a thread in DP. So Pete's intensions are vague, not even he knows what he was up to when he started the thread.. he even admitted it. All we can see is that he has 5 or 6 poor landing pages, 2 low quality products launched, and 20 articles in articlesbase.com ..

Have nothing personal with Pete (The only thing that should intrigue all of you is that he can't provide a single proof to what he is stating since the beggining of this thread, and we all have to agree with that) ..

Peace
Al.

 

Awesome thread. Brilliant example of marketing and cultivating a following.

I don't think it was intentional, though, and I don't think Pete started this thread with the sole intention of marketing a tell all product. Why do I think that?

Because it wasn't very well executed. Built a massive base. Huge following, newbies salivating on every word. But first product launch wasn't polished and looked like a first effort. So I don't think it was all a set up. He isn't a seasoned pro toying with readers.

I think he discovered how to be an internet guru on accident.

People are finding value and inspiration from his efforts, and that's something 99% of affiliate marketers can never say. Great job, man.

 

LOL.

You people clearly don't understand the point of this. You want to write beautiful paragraphs with flowery language that capitivate your reader? Write a novel. You want to generate traffic that leads to sales in articles? Keyword stuffed is the way to go.

My personal articles aren't exciting or overly useful (to be honest). But they generate traffic. That traffic converts to sales and I make good money. Too bad I wont win a Nobel Prize for Literature ...but I'll make a few thousand dollars a month in affiliate sales instead.

Al - you seriously have nothing better to do with your life than attack Pete? I'm pretty sure you're just jealous of his popularity - it's pretty obvious most of the forum believes you are a lying, obnoxious jerk, so either post screenshots of your own "success" or just stop posting here. Your continuous spewing of crap is annoying.

 

Why not just wait for Pete to respond like you want? If he doesn't have proof then you win, but there's no reason to keep baiting and complaining until he at least posts a reply.

I honestly don't really care about his earnings, and I don't follow his methods to a T but I've seen what he's been saying and most of his strategies make sense to me. His articles may lack quality but they are way better than stuff you find at Ezine Articles written by people who have English as a second language (no offense to the bilinguals). And those kind of articles apparently get sales, otherwise they would have long stopped being posted.

I also don't have spectacular articles but the ones that rank get clickthroughs and sales which is the point, as dlm pointed out. And I don't see anything wrong with his squeeze pages, really, but that may just be me.

 

DLM There is a huge difference between "Flowery language" and articles full of bad grammar and typos.

Here is an example from Pete's article: http://www.articlesbase.com/video-g...nloads-for-you-dsi-that-you-want-1406674.html

Keyword stuffing is okay I guess if you at least fit it in the sentence properly and not sound like English is your second language.

Just because you post under a "fake" name doesn't mean you have to speak like an illiterate.

I still however thank Pete for his inspiration. But please don't exaggerate DLM and say we want "flowery" language. Just English.

 

Pete's article - he can write it however he wants.

I write my articles in understandable English, lol.
