Clickbank Journal 10 Months $60,000 All Free Traffic

Nope - same traffic sources (and quality).

Some of it is statistical variation - when you only make 2-3 sales on average per day, it's perfectly logical to have days with 5 sales and then a day with 0 sales. I also doubt Clickbank is shaving...because they have to pay the vendor anyway (since the vendor knows exactly how many people have downloaded or registered) and it wouldn't really make sense for them to just "forget" to credit the affiliate for the sale.

 

You know I have noticed there are big ups and big downs in all affiliate programs.. I am not sure it has anything to do with the affiliate program itself.

 

in every business you lost and you win affiliate is like any other business out there win and lost.

 

This is the nature of the beast. It's people on the other end, sometimes they just dont want to buy your product. I see similar behavior with google adsense; with 1000 views a day some days I'll see 8-10 clicks other days will have only 1 or 2.

 

Hi Everyone

I Just thought I would update this thread as I have updated everything on my Blog. I am just about ready to release the Google Trends Product. This will be going out to all my subscribers on the blog as a thank you for the support you have shown me throughout the life of this journal. There have been a lot of interest in this google trends product and that is why this product will be FREE to everyone that is subscribing to my blog and following the progress of this journal. This hopefully will be the first of many releases that I hope can and will benefit everyone trying out affiliate marketing. When you recieve the product I would love any feedback that you have or any questions that you do not understand anything but I think the guide is very self explanitory. So If you haven't already have a look at my blog and make sure you get your copy of the google trends guide when it is released.

Now onwards to the update of the journey so far. Things are starting to get back to normal after 4 whole days of 0 sales on clickbank things are starting to move again with 2 sales yesterday. Plimus is still going as strong as every over the last week I am averaging 6 sales a day . Products vary from $30 commission to $45 commisions so things are going good with plimus again.

Hopefully my next update there will be more of the same. I will continue to update this thread and my blog until the very last day of the journey.

Thanks all for following and I hope you all appreciate the google trends product. I should be released at the latest sunday afternoon.

Thanks

Pete

 

The best of luck Pete. I can see you know what you are talking about and you will reach the $60,000 mark!
All the best,
Simon

 

How much money you made till now ?
How many live articles you got in each directory ?
how many articles per niche ?
how many sales per product ?

 

Same with me - been following this thread since day one and would love to know how close you are to your $60,000 goal! Do you feel you are on track to make the goal?

 

Hi Guys

Well the Total figure overall so far is $12,729.74 Broken up the figures are as follows -

Google adsense - $598.54

Plimus - $8,124.34

Clickbank - $4,006.86

So I only have another $47,270 left to go. I think this is still very achieveable as my monthly income is definitely on the rise and there is still 5 months left to go so now I only need Just over $9,000 a month which really is very achievable.

Articles I am currently at 601 just now live in my main directory and the rest of the directories should be the same or just a little but smaller. I have some products that have about 30 - 40 articles for them but if the product converts I ramp up the articles to about 90 - 100 I am promoting 4 main products that I am still continuing to write articles about, but as I said i have articles live for products that didn't convert. If I start to make sales in them then I will write more articles for them.

For my 4 main products I am averaging about 70 sales a month and you get 1 or 2 sales from other products that don't convert well overall.

Hope this helps

Pete

 

Kudos Pete,

i commented on your blog also. Article Marketing and CB/Plimus is the way to go, your thread proves this and i am seeing nice results also.

 

I still don't understand how Plimus is outperforming CB. I've looked through the catalog and I can't find much stuff worth promoting with Plimus...I'm sending good levels of targeted traffic to some pretty high gravity CB sites (which look great and should convert) but my average $ per hop is about 5 cents, which is terrible.

 

hmmm you seem to be doing it the hard way... why just use articles?? Mix it up!! Bum, seo, ppc and you will reach your goals alot faster!!

 

What part of "all free traffic" do you not understand?

 

yeah I know hes doing the free traffic stuff, but I dont think he'll reach it using that method!

 

Free traffic needs to filtered with utra targeted ones but who knows his dedication and discipline increases the ratio of targeted ones since he already made $12000 + only with free traffic

 

@dlm

I have 2 products on plimus that are selling very well. Maybe I just struck the right products at the right time. I also have 2 products on plimus they are selling well too but the plimus products are selling more.

@patchkaa I have done all sorts mainly free traffic and I am making good progress with article marketing and the seo follows that. I am getting a lot of seach traffic through google to my landing pages because of the links on articles and squidoo and hub pages that is why the seo is working too. I have dabbled in PPC but I don't think it generates as many sales as articles. I think the reason is that with articles people are reassured more before the hit the landing page and then at the sales page they are ready to buy.

Hope this helps

Pete

 

Those who can read in between the lines can easily get the idea of your niche.

By the way, you are going strong and I hope this Christmas will be most precious for you.

Good Luck!

 

hey pete ,

Good work , I have a question , Why you don't use Ezine anymore ? Why you prefer Articlesbase.com ?

Also , I have 5 articles in Articlesbase and they are all in the page 1 in google . I was wondering , will that last or it's just another " google honeymoon ". Should expect them to disappear soon ? What to do now ? they Are a week old and doing well with the views and the clicks but google is always making me crazy, So please tell me what to expect

thank you
Good luck

 

Hey good work! One question, do you suggest us to hire some writers to write articles for cheap? What is an average article of yours length in words?

 

Seems adsense gives a little more than $100/month, can't see how it's worth it.
