    If your subscribers have signed up for a gambling email list and you send the emails about free products and 'make money online' offers, you're risking losing them. I'd unsubscribe from any list that sent me information I wasn't asking for. Try to find relevant offers to send your list.

    I agree. I know there is no excuse. Those 5 hours are the hours i have that are most productive. I've now worked out a schedule based on that,so that in the least productive hours I'm not doing tasks that require intensive thought and I'm setting small goals each day.

    (sorry micheal,this is my last offtopic reply )

    At least you got a job! The employment situation here is dire,and i have a debt to pay. I would work harder,but its so hard dealing with a mother who continually inturrupts me. I'd love to use my desk in my room but stupid wireless on laptop has died. She's lost her job due to bullying,and her other job is almost gone due to the company's profit going down..I should be more motivated.

    I have at least 10 hours available to me...yet 5 hours i get peace and quiet. I can't wait to make enough to get a new laptop!
    oh well. I have to make the best of it,and work faster.

    Ezinearticle reinstated my account and have given me 10 more submission for Basic membership. 10 articles have been submitted with 7 of them near the final stages. List has grown to 95, near the 100 mark. Wrote 2 more articles today and I had to delete 1 article so my article count is 37. I wrote my 5th follow up where I aim to introduce the subscribers to Internet marketing and this is my first attempt at affiliate marketing via email. The product is a free membership to a video course and hopefully the OTO will convert. I'm really looking forward to the new articles being approved as this is where the real results happen. Remember some of the opt ins are from adwrods.

    Day: 18
    Email List Today: 95
    Articles Written Today: 2
    Total Articles Written: 37
    Money made: $0

    Llong journey ahead of me. I read that If i want to make $500 per month then I should aim to make $1000..I'll do that instead.

    @crazlunatic http://www.michael-nguyen.com its just the same posts here incase this thread is deleted.

    @srednatonmi The thing is, my report is about making risk free money from the gambling niche but essentially the are trading / arbing which is not gambling hence why I don't want to promote gambling products. I could send them many systems from clickbank but I've never tried then and to be honest I don't trust anyof them.

    @curiouswriter2 I've no idea what will happen but what I do know is that something positive WILL happen very soon... I can just feel that first commission coming :D

    Hi Michael,

    I admire your commitment and I understand that you are building a list, but from my experience ezinearticles (or other articles) don't generate any traffic because these articles usually end up on 'low-rent' type of websites. So I am still at a loss as to how articles you submit to ezinearticles generate traffic to your squeeeze page where you then obtain email address/contact info to build your list.

    From my experience, articles submitted to article directories either end iof on the article directory to which you submitted them (and generate no traffic) or on scraper siates (and generate no traffic) so I am still at a loss as to where/how your articles are generating traffic to your squeeze page? (I apologize if I am dense :) )

    Try building affiliate websites and increase their Google SERPs. If you know how exactly the algorithm work, you can stay on top for at least 1 year and they will surely make you an automatic gold mine. Then after you get huge income from SEO, you can start with adwords and contact an adwords specialist (you must see his portfolio before making any contract). It'll be another gold mine as well :)

    Congratulations! That's great. Before, I got scammed through online jobs so it wasn't a successful one. So I tried to search those scammer through Scam Search and found that there's a lot of business scams too. Well so far, so good on my part though. Been working hard like you. Article marketing is the king.

    there is no magic bullet for you to make fast money with internet marketing , for sure not if your main source is going to be writing articles, it takes longer time and some luck, if you really wanna make money badly through article writing maybe just make an adsense site and promote that or write artcles for other but good luck anyways:)

    It's been a few days since I've recorded my journey but all is ok, I've still managed to maintain my 2 articles per day, 1 article needed to be deleted. My adwords ran out yesterday and I've noticed the opt ins have slowed down. Ezinearticles have approved 11 articles which means I'm close to BASIC PLUS membership. Today I had to change my follow ups and ramp it up a little by writing 3 decent follow ups. I would say If I was on my list myself I'd be happy with the content as I'm giving away a lot of free quality content as well as products. I've started recommending some products that I've had experience with so hopefully that will go well. I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or be happy with progress, it's not as if I've made any money yet...Anyways here are some stats...

    Day: 21
    Email List Today: 111
    Articles Written Today: 2
    Total Articles Written: 44
    Articles Approved: 11
    Articles Views: 407
    URL Clicks: 93
    Money made: $0

    I just managed to get the video camera so I should be pumping out some videos. Long over due!
    What did you do today?

    Hey,
    Don't give up. It sounds like you have tons oof desire, and to me, that is half the battle. I found that once I found a successful IM to emulate, things became a lot more profitable. Hang in there!!
    Peace.
