So, all these people are advertising about how they got new cars, or made $3,000 a day or something, and I'm wondering how they do it. I don't want some tutorial on how to make money or something, I just want to know if it is from their site, email, or PPC programs. Thanks
Anything you can use to drive traffic to the offer. Spend less than the offer payout and you just made money.
Cool. I thought stuff was all PPC that, text link blah blah blah. But I guess its just anyway to get traffic to a offer...
I knew someone who built a very successful poker forum buy literally standing outside a poker tournament and talkin to people and giving flyers as they walked out. I was very impressed but it gives you an idea of the lengths people go to to be successful.
Hey Shoe, do you mind telling us what percentage of your affiliate income comes from email campaigns?
very small percentage but enough to be worth it. Just a once a month informative news letter with affiliate offers can make a decent revenue stream.
More than anything he's successful and not afraid to give tips. The nature of this business (Affiliate marketing) is generally so close lipped, it's nice to see a large player giving at least some sort of information for the lesser players. Hence the "status" of Shoe.
I'm fairly new with azoogle too. This is my first month making what some might call half way decent money with them. Basically I've spent around $400 to net around $900. It's not life changing, but it's a start. 95% of that came from one offer, and on that offer I eventually narrowed my keyword list down to one profitable keyword. So, you hear about all of these people with thousands of long tail keywords, I'm definitely not one of them. All of my money was coming from the content network as well, so it makes it tough to track exactly what sites are running the profitable ads. About a week ago I had a $180 profit day. I spent around $25 to make that. So, I'm thinking I'm pretty hot shit now, and that the money is just going to keep rolling in. Tuesday I made about $16. Wednesday about $8. I lost about $10 yesterday, and today I'm up about $1.40. But I think after today I figured out the problem. I think I was bidding so low on my keyword that the profitable sites started blocking my ads. So this afternoon I changed my landing page URL, and BAM, here comes the flood of profitable traffic. I spent about $50 today trying to find new keywords, raise bids, ect, but I made most of it back when I switched the URL. I've ran other PPC campaigns on other networks in the past, never seeing much more than a 100% ROI, and most of the time a lot less than that, especially when it's a new campaign. Again, I'm no expert here, but my philosophy is to just dive in and do it. Learn what you can, but you'll never really learn anything until you're in the trenches. I was about to give up on this campaign, changing the URL was a last ditch effort, but it worked. Hell, I can afford to buy a new .info everyday if I have to, if it keeps me on the profitable sites. So, yeah, my point is, just get in there and learn it. All it really takes is the right offer and a few good keywords to make you a lot of money. No one is going to tell you there offers, keywords, bidding strategies, ect. That's why you have to learn it for yourself. It's not easy, but it's not rocket science either.
