I know a lot of people hate these kinda posts but its meant to serve as motivation.. Iv been dabbling about in CB for about a month and about a week and a half decided to put some proper effort into it. Got one sale every 4 or 5 days, and for the past two days I have had two sales a day, equalling $50 a day/ $100 in 2 days! I know its a tiny amount for some but im well chuffed! All done by free methods, so just in case anyone was thinking of giving up, don't! Your hard work will pay off O
I'm in the same boat, been in IM for about 10 months, in the first 8 I made no more than a sale every week or so, in the last month I'm consistently making about $50 a day, and have had 3 days with over $100. One of the big realizations I had when I started making that kind of money is how unsustainable and uncertain the income actually is. All it takes for me is 2 or 3 articles to be pushed on page 2, and - no more 100$ days. But I guess that's something that haunts all people who make their own way
And what free methods were you using? What type of products? Add some details and this post may be interesting.
Cheers guys, hopefully the only way is up from here! Using only free methods, just article marketing, forum and blog posting and just trying to build backlinks really. Might dabble in ppc over the next week or so to try it out.. What do you guys think? O
Hello oworsnop.Glad to see it's working out for you.May I ask how many articles do you write per day and if and how you send backlinks to them? Thanks. Keep up the good work!
after 2.5 months effort, i finally managed to have at least 1 sale a day. now, i am working hard to reach $100 a day.
And this is motivating how? Kobe Bryant is in the $20 million plus category. Should I now be motivated to practice basketball? These posts have no value. If people can not motivate themselves to work, then that's one less competitor. Harsh? Sure.
Congrats, I am in other types of marketing but am looking at pushing clickbank products now. I just have a hard time knowing what to promote and if I can get traffic to it. I hate to put a lot of time in 1 product and then never get any traffic from it, but I guess thats all part of it.
Congratulations. Affiliate marketing is not that hard once you find a strategy that works and a product that sells well.

Relish the uncertainty and know that others will hide from it.
I would love to be making a thousand dollars a day. LOL. Internet marketing is hard. I remember when I first started in August, 2008 and yes, wasted my money on some ebooks on how to make $5,000 a day. I laugh at myself now "Thinking to myself what an idiot I was" The only good thing is that as you learn and earn and do different types of marketing, it becomes like a hobby and actually becomes fun. I do alot of Clickbank and I use USfreeads, Squidoo, Article Marketing etc I am thinking about starting blogging (but still researching how to do that effectively) Haven't really messed with PPC yet, I will eventually but I don't just want to throw money down the drain so I want to learn more before going that route
