Alright i know everyone probably thinks im another one of those who will quit half way! Well maibe I am maibe im not... Lol who knows! The reason im starting this journal is because I have a bad habit of quitting half way and not giving my 100%! So i hope this will help me stay motivated and help me continue to work hard! I will be giving updates whenever I can and track my progress that I will share with everyone! Im new to this affiliate marketing stuff, so this should be a great experience for me! I have alot of interest in this stuff. Because im new to this I didnt want to set my goal to high! So my goal is to make 10,000$ from here to december 31! For now I have a full time job and just trying to make some extra cash on the side! I have a budget of 200$ and refuse to go over it! Any tips anyone can give would be really apreciated? So who thinks i can do this?
Well before I start I'd just like to point out you double posted your question. As to whether you can make $10,000 by xMas that all depends on how much effort you put into it and how fast you can learn. Affiliate marketing has no step by step manual you can't run and ask people for answers because truth be told no one has exact answers. What they do have however is hunches, tips, hints, helpful pointers and alot of statistical data to judge what is effective and what isn't. However that said alot of the common questions can be answered by people on this very forums, although be prepared for posts that will often contradict each other. My overall advice, if you plan on making $10,000 don't expect it off CB, especially if you only have a $200 budget. You might want to try branching out to other affiliate marketing networks like Commission Junction or other methods like CPA.
@edrectory: thanks for the tips. I know my title says CB, but i'm planning on using any method necessary to achieve my goal. I will try out all methods i can think of and try to figure out what works best for me! I know 200$ budget it not much to start out with, but I want to try to get this started with a little money as possible. Update #1: For my first test i'm gonna be trying out article marketing, from what I've read on this forum, alot of people have seen some faire success using this method. I found a product that I would be comfortable promoting, and did some keyword research. I'm currently working on a landing page that I think should work alright. Once I have that setup I will write 10 articles, keyword optimized of course and submit it to a list of article sites I put together. There will be a link pointing to my landing page on all articles. After that I will start with the social bookmarking, forum/blog posting and whatever else i can think of. If anyone could give me some feedback/pointers on what I currently have in mind, I would really appreciate it. note: I'm French, so sorry im my English isn't 100% or if there some spelling errors
After a weekend of camping I was finally able to get some work done today. Here's whats been done today: - I finished up setting up my landing page. - I submitted 11 articles today all with a link pointing to my landing page. - I did a crap load of social bookmarking, forum posting, yahoo answering... - Created some squidoo lens pointing to my landing page. - Created some hubpages pointing to my landing page. So hopefully it wont take too long to get my articles aproved and my landing page indexed indexed and start to see some traffic. If anyone has any tips for traffic/backlinks I would really appreciate if you would share everyone.
$2000 per month for someone who doesn't know anything about affiliate marketing will be tough to do. But, if you did all of that in one day, you might make it. I suspect that you know something about affiliate marketing, otherwise you wouldn't think/know about hubpages, squidoo, etc. In any case, good luck!!
I will follow you to your success. don't forget to show your traffic and income screenshot, hopes your updates will gives us (mostly newbie) more ideas. thanks.
