500$ - 1 Week Starting From Scratch Using 100% Free Methods ( Experiment)

Hi, my name is Navtej and i have 1 week off ( spring brake )and my goal is to make 500$ or more without spending a dime.

I will be promoting 6 different products and i will do pretty much the same thing for each.

I will be using every free methods from press releases to video marketing to web 2.0


I will report back on March 8 and tell you how it went. You wont see many updates because when i come on the forums, it is hard to get off. Feel free to tell me what you think.

 

Looking forward to hearing how you make out. Good luck.

 

Nice, tell us how things working

 

Good luck man! I'm trying basically the same thing:

I'm going to write 20 high quality articles (in 4 categories), then re-write each 5 times while maintaining a strict standard of quality. Then I'm gonna submit the 100 articles to 8 different directories. 800 instances of those articles @ 30 views each, I should make at least 500 bucks for one week of writing, then an additional 500-1500 over the next month depending on how it goes.

Keep us posted on your challenge!

 

Hi, you are doing article marketing and i already did that kind of experiment. Results : 1 sale every 2-5 days for the last month.

Good luck to you aswell.

 

Article marketing is a tried and tested method. But it requires discipline on your part to get the articles re-written and submitted.

But if you stick to this method, I'm very sure you'll make money.

 

I'd like to here what happened. I've been trying to do that for a couple of years now and have not been able to.

 

Sorry to hi-jack, but can you show me an example, of a few artices all similar,and the sites you use for them and getting the word out about them becuase i have a squidoo lense which is decent but i need to write more i think but not sure how to write more about the same thing (if you get me?) a few example would be great thanks!

 

Article marketing is an on-going process the article's traffic tends to always die and so do the earnings. I'm not saying it won't work but from article marketing alone you won't get constant earnings. Happy experiment!

 

From my experience, article traffic does slow down over time. You'll get a burst at first, then it will tail off.

The key to that is capitalizing on the traffic you get, by keeping it through email lists, sticky websites with good content which keep people coming back, and using the links in the articles for SEO and boosting your site up the SERPs.

Plus, writing articles all day every day gets old pretty fast.

 

I will be submiting articles but only for backlinks, i want to avoid article writing for this experiment.

 

good luck ... i'm sure you have the advantage of being able to do a week of solid effort, so you'll be highly motivated ... wish you all the best

 

Hi,

Yes, this is true to a point, but there is also some residual income. Last year I submitted about 80 articles to EZ, plus built a few review pages. I made a few hundred $$$. Then I took some time off (busy day job, kids etc).

During this period doing nothing at all, I averaged about $35-40 a week, purely from the existing articles. Not a fortune, but it was effectively FREE MONEY.

I believe the trick is to keep increasing this residual income stream.

Cheers

How does EZA handle you submitting a ton of articles at a same time - say I submit 15-20 in a day. Does it raise any red flags with them?

 

Good luck, things seem to always be easier said than done though!

 

This sounds like an awesome thing. Are you going to do a full write up on it, and share secrets if you succeed?

 

yup. Its either $500 or noting lol. I will share but i am starting to think i will have to adjust my goal because i was out all day ( forgot i was going to the movies with friends).

Here is my schedule:

Tueday : 2-3 hour dentist appointment but planning on working after that.
Wednesday : working 5+ hours
Thursday : working 5+ hours
Friday : working only 1-3 hours.
Saturday: working 2-3 hours.
Sunday: working 12 hours.

 

what do you acatully do for 5 and 12 hours?

 

Just wait for the good news.

 

Good luck man, I'm looking forward to hearing the results of this endeavor.
