But it's time to work for my self.

Let's make this thread a Super Affiliate Action Tactics Manual that can change life of many people. I think, just alone this idea motivates a lot! Why Have I Decided to give my post such title "60-day Action Plan"? I'll continue till the end of this Year - 31th December, 2009. I've definitely promised myself! But these 60 days will a testing and improving period of all my chosen niches and marketing methods to finally find out the most lucrative niches, products and the most profitable marketing methods. If everything goes well, then I'm going to post all my stats in my moms business blog and invite all you to watch my achievements there by the end of 2009. My goal is to earn $50 000 until the 31th December, 2009. It may seem a big figure especially if one considers that I'm not an experienced affiliate though I've had some success previously. But the most important factors I rely on in this affiliate journey are: 1) My Crazy Perseverance in Everything 2) My Persuading Ability that I always to apply in my affiliate articles 3) Great Motivation that came to me since March 4) I've strong pretension to become a Millionaire 5) All DP members who will support and encourage me for more success 6) My ability of writing minimum 10 informative articles per day even though English is my second language 7) My Crazy Passion for Competing with Successful Affiliate Marketers, including Even Chia, etc. 8) And much more ... My Useful Tip # 1: Note: I also recommend you to make a list of your Positive, Strong Sides that will help you a lot. I know it from my Experience. Just stick it everywhere at home and office, especially on your computer. I would talk a lot here, but I don't want to tire out you with my long thread. So let's go on! What Main FREE Marketing Methods do I prefer and am going to use: 1) Article Marketing - My most Favorite 2) Ezine Marketing 3) Video Marketing 4) Yahoo answers Of course, I may use other popular marketing methods but I'll mainly focus on these 4. Note: I will not use Clickbank, as unfortunately, my country is not accepted there at present. 1) I've already done my niche research and decided to promote several high-ticket products from various vendors - I just wonder if they really convert. If it works it is a very lucrative niche and can earn me thousands dollars in a shorter time. If I succeed with them I'm going even to offer my FREE coaching service how to promote them and earn decent amount if you are a newbie. 2) The second important marketplace is Paydotcom. I've an idea to promote those products in a special and creative way. So I'm going to test it during my 60-day Action Plan. 3) I will also consider plemus about which I've heard before but have been encouraged to try after Pete's Clickbank Journal $60 000 thread Btw, I'm going to try only FREE methods though I may spend a few dollars for some minor things. For now I'm not even going to buy domains. i thinks, Squidoo lenses will be enough to go. After having tested the products, I'll certainly get personal domain names putting in it the most-searched keywords with low competition. As from my previous experience, I know that it can be very effective if you want to get good organic traffic without any promotion. However, it's my own strategy (I don't claim that it is the smartest way, but it really workes for me) - doing a deep niche research, intensive affiliate marketing to test how the product converts and then buying domains and creating a virtual real estate empire around this niche and product. So I've started my first action yesterday - on 3rd June. (It's already 4th June here) 3rd JUNE - DAY # 1: MY ACTION PLAN +++ 1. Email to 21 Internet Marketing ezine owners I've emailed to 20 Ezine pubshlers that accept articles about my cooperation offer. +++ 2. Submit 1 article to ezinearticles and to Isnare using their distribution service at $2. 1 article submitted to EZA with a link to squidoo lens and waiting for approval It seems isnare have problems - I could not open the site. I'll try on 4th June. +++ 3. Yahoo answer marketing - give 10 answers I've answered to 10 questions promoting my 2 squidoo lenses and one personal site created before. +++ 4. Post Free Content for ezine AD on forums I've posted on DP forum this ad: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1366214 - - - 5. Massive Article Spinning and Distribution (minimum to 100 sites) I've contacted 2 people on DP asking questions related to their service. I've not got any reply from them yet. +++ 6.

I was so busy with writing for clients in these days. These are the projects I've started long ago and need to be completed. Therefore I could update here only now. 4th June - DAY #2 1. Posted 1 article to ezinearticles 2. Created a squidoo lens for the same article. Note I've got a response from one ezine (62 000+ subscribers) who is ready to publish my articles. Not so bad! 5th June - DAY #3 1. Created and uploaded 1 video to youtube 2. Collected a list of sites to upload video 3. Posted 1 article to ezinearticles 4. Submitted 2 articles to 12 article directories. 5. Created a squidoo lense for that article Today my first article has been already published in ezinearticles, so I'll add its link to my related squidoo lense. Waiting for approval of second one by EZA. Btw, I've written a number of articles in May. Therefore in my first weeks I want to focus only on promoting and getting indexed them in Google. I could not work as much productively as I wanted in these days because of my writing projects for clients. But once I complete all of them, I'll speed up my daily act ivity.
6th - 8th June In these 3 days, I: 1. Created and uploaded 9 more videos to youtube. 2. Sent one article to ezine publisher. 3. Submitted 2 articles to EZA, they are in review now. 4. Created 2 more squidoo lenses. 5. Also posted 5 articles on my blog to build more backlinks. 6. Researched Plimus to find on-demand products. 7. Sent 1 article for submission 300+ directories. I'll get the report within 5 days. Of course, Sunday I was off. I'm still loaded with some article orders therefore I'm not able to work as much productively as I can. I'll keep on updating the thread for 9th June.
Omas, Thank you for your interest in my thread, No, I didnt pay any penny. As I noted above, I've sent an email to 21 ezine publishers with my offer to provide them high-quality articles on a regular basis and got a reply from this one. So I sent 1 article to them. Let's see what results I'll get. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
I see you are using Yahoo answers in this project. I was just wondering do you answer the questions or ask them? I know it might seem a bit of a stupid question, but I am only just getting into this affiliate business. Thanks and good luck!
Thank you for your question. This thread is just for sharing what we know. I use yahoo answers giving answers to questiones on related affiliate niches. This method of marketing works well when you need to get TARGETED traffic.
Sorry, I was so busy with intensive marketing that I could come back only today. I was busy with launching my other online projects as well. Therefore I have to control several marketing campaigns at a time. As for affiliate marketing, everything goes well, some of my articles are on the first page of Google (even some are #1 for certain keyword on Google) which is very good for steady traffic and backlinks. I was so surprised when I've discovered that my articles on EZA were published by other website owners so quickly, just the day after my articles went online. It means it is worth submitting articles to EZA if you want to get quick traffic and backlinks from multiple sites. The other good news is that some of my youtube videos were put on other website owners' sites which is also good for promotion of my affiliate sites. Now I need to concentrate on one product so that I could write minimum 20-30 articles related to it. I think this is the best way to check if this product really converts, though previously I was able to earn affiliate comissions from just 4-5 articles about one product. So far, till today I didn't make any sale. I think one of the main reasons is that a number of my articles are promoting high-ticket products which are not so cheap and therefore conversion rate is a bit lower. However, I will CONTINUE unless I'm earning $50 000 until the end of 2009. I'll try to update this thread once I've time, as it only boosts my motivation. Feel free if you have any questions. I'd be only glad to answer them.
