    @nealh I take your points on board and yes I know this is a big challenge and hence the point that I am doing this journal. I have had a few stumbling blocks along the way what with hosting and EZA. You have to remember though those 7 sale I have made have been from 30 articles. EZA gave me another Basic Plus yesterday so I have another 25 articles to submit but I have over 100 articles already written. I need to get more of those articles out. I will be submitting heavily today and tomorrow to try and get the 25 articles submitted an hopefully accpeted next week.

    I have started averaging now a sale every second day. A few of my earlier products have started selling and I am recieving between $31 - $38 per sale. I am looking at 2 other products which I think would be beneficial promoting which will pay between $35 - $45 per sale. What you need to think is that it only takes one product and 1 article that can make that difference and bump me up to 5-7 sales a day. This would help and I will update everyone on the progress as and when they happen.

    So yes I do think it is still possible and it only means that I need more articles published and the right products to sell to turn this around. As I also said at the end of December there will be full disclosure and you will be able to see which products worked for me and which didn't. Imagine I make the $60,000 at the end of december and you can see which product was the turnaround for me, this would be invaluable information.

    Thanks all for your support.

    If you have so many articles, why not start a second account? I was thinking about doing that because I have so many articles to publish.

    @blogsalesman I think I just must be stupid that never even occurred to me. I think I will do that now and get a few more published maybe create a few different accounts.

    Thanks

    I think that is against Ezinearticles rules and if they find out that you do it they will suspend your account.

    @powfada I have just checked it is not against their rules and I looked back and I have an email from them encouraging the use of different accounts to keep all your related articles under one group.

    Thanks

    @IMdude2000 No sales as yet today. I have opened another eza account and have uploaded my first 10 articles to it now have to wait to get them approved. On my original account I have sent another 20 articles to that too and have to wait for them to get approved as well.

    I have started trialing another product but I am promoting it a bit differently than the others. It is still free methods but these new methods are supposed to generate more hits and sales quicker than EZA. I will power into this for the next day or 2 and let you know how it goes. Once it takes off and I see the results I will post the formula here and you can all try it as well. This is not my method I picked it up from one of the gurus on another forum but will find out how it goes. Will post a further update tomorrow.

    Thanks for reading

    Pete

    @ fletd09 probably about 3 hours a day. The new promotion I am trying out only should take about 30 minutes. The test is done on 2 different mediums 1 is a clickbank product and the other is an adsense and CPA medium. I am just testing what sort of response I get from all of them. As I said I will post the full details once I am done testing.

    Thanks

    There is really no point having 2 eza accounts when you can create multiple pen names. It will just raise red flags and provides no benefit.

    Also whoever thinks that 11 sales per day is a lofty goal... !!
    It is nothing and just goes to show how achievable something like this is when you break it down to such small numbers.

    Been a while without an update pete, any news?

    Yeah sorry guys I have been going through some personal stuff at the moment that has detracted from this. I will be getting back on board with this at the weekend going to work doubly hard now as will not have much time to spend on this next week personal circumstances will not allow it with hospital appointments need to be attended. Will blast this this weekend to make up for that though

    I am up to 8 sales but over the last week had 2 refunds :( so far total sales amount is $175 I am thinking along different line with this whole article marketing line. Let me think more about this and I will post an update on what I am planning over the weekend.

    Thanks all for taking the time in reading this and also your suggestions it is much appreciated and it is your contributions that is keeping me going.

    Thanks again

    Pete

    Sorry to hear that Pete. Hope you and your family is doing alright.

    As I've told many people, just writing articles about various products isn't really an efficient use of your time...

    Hi Dlm

    Thanks for that I hope all goes well too. Anyway I have started to realize that I am putting a different plan together for this as I think things need to be moving quicker. I will finish writing the last articles for this stage and I will post the plan of attack hopefully over the weekend. I think this new plan will be more effective and a better use of my time. Everything in the new plan will be utilizing free traffic generating methods.

    Hopefully all will become clear as I post the new plan.

    Thanks

    Pete

    Sorry to hear that the experience is a bit more rough than you expected Pete, but you've shown great persistence and I know you'll succeed. I'm also eager to see your new plan as I'm rethinking my strategy mostly for the same reasons as you do. Much Success,
    Mark

    Thanks mark much appreciated I have been following your thread also and it seems you came up against a similar problem as me. Hopefully we can take a few things out of each others threads and use the best bits to get to both our goals.

    Thanks for your kind words. Hope all goes well in your journey too mark.

    Thanks

    I think you should stick with it longer, you really need to submit several hundred articles before drawing a conclusion of if its working! :)

    If you submit 20 articles and get 1000 views and 5 sales, how will submitting "several hundred" articles be any better?

    You need to focus on efficiency, not volume. Unless you can hire someone to write you articles for $0.50 each, simply submitting hundreds of articles wont get you very far.

    Because 1 in 30 might be the one to make you $200 a day.

    He makes a good point. Unless you are writing those hundred articles all based off the same keyword, it could just be one of those keywords strike it gold. And all those people searching for that are looking to buy.
