I started my affiliate site in Aug 09 ... because I was tired of having to deal with my 800# blowing up all day and getting craploads of emails from customers and having to place orders through dropshippers on my Ecommerce site... not to mention it's hard to grow when alot of your time is going into doing customer support and updating products on the site... So what did I do I sold my store and decided it was time to get into something where I didn't have to deal with customers and for the most part would be autopilot... thats when I went right on over to CB and starting looking around... cuz I wants me some autopilot shit... I've had many sites and still do but I wants me anotherz... thats what I was telling myself considering i just raked in 55k off the ecommerce site that I sold.... I found what I wanted, built a site and worked hard on it and I still am.. (and im building another one) and now it's raking in some serious cash... over 2k a week virtually on autopilot ... i just finished this week @ a little over $2400.. with no paid traffic.. 98% profit now I've been online for close to 7 years and been making money for 5... moral of the story is... keep at it... keep working hard and learning... don't let any nay sayers bring you down or hate on you... to make money online you have to have a drive, ambition and a strong willingness to put in hard work and learn... don't give up.. it took me over 2 years before I made any income worth mentioning.. now I can build sites and have them raking in some serious cash in months... just keep going .. because when you keep going ... then your profits keep going up and up.. well atleast for me
Thanks JDN, good to hear stuff works if you keep putting in the effort, need this kind of stuff to keep encouraging me
Great result, glad you are free from the customer service For sure your previous experience in growing and building websites helped you get a headstart here, but it just shows what is possible with a bit of a vision and some hard work - congratulations, and I hope your next project brings even more for you too Dan
Thank you.. im glad im free of customer service too... and yes my previous experience definitely helped me do what i do.. but that go's to show you.. when you do have lots of experience .. building a new site and having it rake in capital is not really hard at all... it's like legally printing money... but this is years of knowledge and experience.. your welcome yeh theirs lots of ppl making money online..... and of course knowledge and experience.....it takes failure to get better
thats a cool story, but care to provide some tips in how to get succesfull in affiliate marketing? list building? bum marketing? ppc?
Good post! Yes this is exactly it, and although it was a bit of a rocky road for me if you keep on going you will succeed! Well done on your profits! Chris
you nailed it of course! Nothing is free, and IM *is* hard work until you see the results! Nothing comes from nothing. As simple as that.
Howdy James, I have been learning all I can about affiliate marketing before taking the plunge, my previous line of work was also very customer oriented and sapped a lot of my time during the day. You have brought to light what I have until now only suspected, that hard work coupled with a clear plan is really what it takes to successfully market clickbank products on autopilot. Your post will serve as my personal performance benchmark. Thank you,
Hey James, Yea, I been at this for over a year and just last month i did close 2 g in a month. There are lots of people that put you down on this forum, and many others that always tell you to get a read job, etc. etc. etc. But I'm still learning and it's great to hear a success story. I can almost taste my dreams coming true. But there's still a ton of work to be done. Hopefully I'll meet up with your level soon.
This is inspiring to me!! Thank you James!! I have had one website for just over 1 year and haven't made anything to speak of. I just finished my second website and have just added ads. I think I need to add affiliates? I have just started working daily again on it. (I moved, bought a house, remodeled & I am just now about unpacked) Can you recommend good affiliate sites to me? Any and all tips and help I can get would be greatly apprecited! I am new and taught myself how to build my websites. Thank you and have a great day!
i had a site making me $3k a week at the beginning of last year, then a few gamer nerds got wind of it and ruined all the traffic sources huhu. pain the arse but a good lesson learned. once you have something dont sit back and relax. keep going and make many more.
Also... reinvest in your business.. find ways to automate processes that can be... invest in different channels, models that way you have multiple income sources always be willing to learn and try to learn something new everyday put in the work....!! Can't say that enough... you have to do the work... and work smart .... also know that just cuz everyone else is doing it ....doesn't mean it works or it will work for you.... surround yourself with great people with different skill sets and learn some more.. sorry for the chicken scratch.. ah well Ok i think im done here... just wanted to give a bit of motivation for some... cuz im always seeing journals on here and people wondering why theyre not making money after a month... u gotta bust dat ass and u will make some $... oh and one more thing... don't be afraid to fail... failure is what makes us stronger
