Actually I get about 40% sales from article marketing and 60% from PPC. And I want to get to 90%+ sales from PPC in near future. See, I'm only writing articles for my own product because I think it's worth to invest time in my own business and have it grow in terms of SEO rankings. For affiliate products I'm using Adwords and YSM.. Right now I'm just direct linking to affiliate products and it's converting really well. Most of them have 1:20 or 1:30 conversions so I'm making profits even at $0.3+ CPC. So how I get products to convert with direct linking? I pick a product on marketplace, make a subdomain for redirect of my hoplink. Take first 30 keywords for that niche from Adwords Keyword Tool, copy ads from other niches and make them fit my niche. And press ACTIVATE. Once I find something that consistently converts I'll buy a .com domain for it and do a split test with: 1. direct linking and what are my profits there 2. review page and what are my profits with it After about a week I'll have a pretty good idea which one makes me more money and I'll just port my campaign to AdWords and pull traffic from there too since I'll already know that the product converts. I'll have yet another product locked down in passive income mode. Then all you need to do is to do the process again for another product... So, yeah this is it. It's pretty simple actually. BTW, thanks for kind words guys, I really hope this thread motivated some of you to take ACTION.
Well most of my profits are from my own product which I promote through SEO and Adwords. Until now I was just using clickbank as a payment processor but like a month ago my bro said it would be smart to put it on marketplace but I kind of didn't want to do that. The thing is, I see so many product launches where sales letters aren't tested and the publisher isn't making money off of his own product yet etc and I just don't want to be one of those guys. I made this product for long term profits and not just to suck affiliates in and use them as test bunnies. This is why I've been testing it myself like a mad man for the past few months to get to this level where it's at right now. But after talking about putting it on marketplace again with my bro yesterday I decided to finally do it. So I had a first few affiliate generated hops today, can't wait to see how well will they convert.
I agree, to refine product, work on conversion and test before launching affiliate program. This is something I'm doing right now with my favourite product. Only when it's ready will I hit the marketplace. However, I will try to do at least a moderate product launch. btw advertise on clickbanksuccessforum.com, I've heard its great for getting new affiliates, cheap to advertise too.
Congrats dude. Looks like you've reached your goals. My next step is $500 a day by the end of 2009. It could be $1000 I wouldn't mind. That's gotta be a lot of work, still I ain't stepping out the scene ever.
congrats jose, I remember my first $100 day, it took a long time coming when I first started but it was worth it, it actually made me set a new goal that was sensible and target that.
This is an inspiring post, thanks for sharing with us. I remember your EzineArticles experiment thread and stopped following it after you posted that you intended to give up article marketing as a result of poor results. It's great to see that you actually picked it back up and that you're doing so well now, congratulations mate. You've inspired me to work towards my goal now, $50 per day, hope it works out as well as it did for you. I'm really interested in what niches you're targetting at the moment, but don't worry about it if you'd rather not share. Thanks again for this great inspirational thread.
