Bugger..my nearest Starbucks is 20 miles away I guess I need to move house Well done and thanks for sharing that..... inspirational!!
How about making it yourself? We don't even have a starbucks here in this country except for the one opened at the airport last year..and know what...the Europian office is located here but we dutch are..well dutch and make our coffee at home and are not used to buying it at a store and bringing it along to the place we work or live.
Just goes to show that the Internet is just like every other money earning opportunity in life. You have to sweat, cry, and wait. Thanks for sharing. Very motivational and I hope those who think making money on the Internet is a myth or hoax, learn that it is all about hard work. There is no easy money anywhere. And the Internet is no different. Once agian congratulations. 5 star thread for sure.
I sent you a PM before I saw you don't want to get PM's, sorry about that. I just wanted to also request the information about your landing page designer. Keep up the good work! I hope 2008 will be my year =)
I could use some pointers from the experts out there. I've been unsuccessfully trying to get some sales through affilliates. I've been getting decent click throughs and rates for my campaign, just not any sales. I'm linking directly to their landing page so I'm guessing their copy just isn't working. So my question is, should I create my own landing pages, put some copy and the link them to the affiliate sales pages or is their a better method? I've got pretty targeted keywords, and I'm getting people there... just seems the deal isn't closing. I haven't used CPA and really know nothing about it.. is there a good reference or overview of that? I have the budget to spend on campaigns, but just not the expertise to convert. Thanks, Jeff
Speaking of making money off dating affiliates...Are you one of those people that join sites like lavalife.com and try to solicit lavalife.com customers into signing up on other sites, with the pretense of meeting that "girl" Recently, I got some affiliate marketers sending me bogus messages from Lavalife..showing some realistic hot girls...and really nice creative writing skills that lure people to sign up onto OTHER dating sites, in the hopes to meet that girl....as she claims she quit lavalife and moved to the other dating site, and will chat with me there... I found this amazingly evil, but I think for some people it works... I wouldnt steep so low in trying this...but do alot of people use these kinds of tactics???
Thats what they call blackhat tactics lol! It should be working for alot of people who use it! If you dont have money to spend and your dating offers pays off well, then it could worth the work! BLACKHAT!
Yea I know...blackhat tactics are sometimes just evil...but they can work I guess... I mean the emails I saw looked pretty good, I must admit... IF I wasn't a web fanatic, then I think some average joe would be lured and conned into this scheme... I simply knew it was a con the second I saw the affiliate link they sent me lol. I was disappointed though with the intention of it all. Here I am thinking some hot girl wants a date with me, then next thing I know its a scam. Which I must point out, most people would probably not be aware of, unless you know some information about affiliate marketing. Its just a low way to make a few bucks...I mean I am not rich..but even I wouldn't try to steep to low tactics such as this.
Well..you know I could..but I just don't like this method of advertising.. and I don't want to give people ideas.. So I'm not going to exploit this matter any further and become a teacher of this art in any way.
that's fantastic, I know what you mean about having no time and no life, I work about the same hours and see no end in sight. benny
people who do blackhat dont even care if its a low way of making money cos most of em make some good money! Even some of the adult dating companies encourage the webmasters to do something like that nature! But i got ya point though!
I wasn't trying to do the same thing but I got something similar on another dating site ........ "I want to chat more with you and hopefully you want the same thing. If so, you can read more about me in my online profile. Here’s a link: amandado’s profile. I hope you create your profile and send me your login ID so we can chat more. I reeeeeaaallly hope we can chat soon. kiiiiiiissssssesssss" There was more of that but just wanted to post an excerpt. Is that similar to what you got?
Ok well since you insist heres how it kinda went down. She first sent me an email and said something like: "Hey, I read your profile, I am interested bla bla bla...and I think your hot and I also share your hobbies and bla bla.." So after reading that, I honestly thought it was a genuine interest from the girl lol. I then responded back to her stating how I liked her too! Then next thing I know..she emails me back..and Shes like "Hey you know what I think we are very compatible and again bla bla bla....and I dont like Lavalifes interface...and I tried this new dating site..and I am moving there...so if you want to chat with me further..please go to this site..." And the link was an affiliate link.
maybe if you read above you will see the statements made that lead to those posts...lets not be ignorant here.

That is over half a million a year and $45,000 a month. At $1000 pure profit after spending the amounts you say each month, that is $30,000 a month pure profit and $360,000 per year pure profit. That would make you one of the top 10 in PPC in the dating industry - in the world (not just America.) I don't believe it. You don't care of course, I'm just saying that I don't think you make $45,000 a month pure profit and are top 10 in PPC in the world (In dating niche.). I don't believe you make $30,000 a month at $1000 a day either and $360,000 a year either. Unless you have over $100,000 invested and other multiple ventures. ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations. Once you get to 4,000 per day you are making over a million per year. Did you know you could outsource most of your stuff for barely any money at all. Seriously, I read this book by Timothy Ferriss called the four hour workweek. He tells you how to get people in third world countries like india and thailand to do everything for you. I do not currently affiliate with Tim but I recommend you check out his stuff. Why work 7 hour days 12hrs a day for$4000 a day when you can work like 6 hours a week and still make like $3800 per day? If you get someone else to do the mundane stuff then you can focus 100% on getting towards that 8000/day mark. I hope you get it.
