A lot of people are complaining about their AdSense earnings lately... I've also noticed a decrease in my earnings in the past 2 or 3 months... I guess the financial crisis has a bad influence on advertising budgets too... It's a wierd thing that in a bad economy, insted of buying more traffic to maintain a decent sales level, they are cutting their advertising budgets... Anyway, I guess this is the moment to switch our strategies... to do more with our traffic and, why not, to buy some cheap traffic... and make a few more sales. Let's face it: AdSense is the easiest way to make money online... That's why 95% of webmasters are using it... and, if you are searching for the "get rich formula" in the same place as the other 95% of the webmasters... you are, for sure, in the wrong place at the wrong time... It takes no brains to make a visitor leave your website... by clicking an AdSense link. That's why AdSense is at the very bottom of the Internet marketing food chain... Recently, I've stumbled upon some Internet marketing videos that changed my whole way of thinking... Here's the model that the most successful Internet marketers are using to make millions (well... not exactly what they are using, but, something similar)... As you can see in the top-left corner, we manage to bring about 90% of the traffic... and we only get about 10-20% of the money... Interesting... huh?! I'm not saying to take your AdSense ads off your pages, but I think we should reconsider our main way to monetize our websites... I'm a web designer and an amateur programmer... The image is taken from my website's homepage (that's why it has some additional features). I've just created a system which allows its members to do just that... And it's all free. Some parts are still under construction, but, anyway, you can get a lot of value from its current features: - "plug and play" and unlimited AdSense pages; - unlimited autoresponders and a mailing list management system, email scheduling available; - a very motivating referral program (recurring income for life). You can get everything for free at Learniacs.com. Many people will think this is some kind of promotional message... and they are right somehow. But I belive this post adds a lot of value and uncovers some not very common facts that many AdSense publishers might not know... And, don't forget I'm not selling anything... everything is free. I belive this system is the first of its kind... please correct me if I am wrong. A full conversion engine with AdSense-ready content pages and a flexible mailing list... everything in a single place (and, also free). If you know some strategies that I haven't covered in the diagram, strategies to improve the visitor value (or other components to the system) please let me know and I'll try to add them as quick as possible.
Well... it's not different actually. Article marketing is an essential component of the system. But the blackboards are more like Squidoo pages... because you actually earn money from advertising and you are in total control (you can modify them whenever you want and keep them up to date - of, course, if you provide value... spammy blackboards will be deleted). And, also, when a visitor from your blackboard decides to sign up, you get life time recurring income from his blackboards too, and so on, for 10 generations of referrals. And you also have unlimited mailing lists and autoresponders. You can create a mailing list with every blackboard you create. You can send personalized emails to your list whenever you want to and you can set a delay for your emails, so the process can be fully automated. This part is usally paid... on a monthly basis... but with Learniacs everything is free.
I left corporate america 2 years ago to avoid ever having to look at one of these charts again... Thanks for ruining my dream...
and what guarantee is there that it would be free for life? how will you profit from it? at least you should get something..right?..pls xplain more
Oh, sorry for not being very clear... The system survives using 10% of the advertising earnings on the blackboards (the single page articles). So, the more active members, the better. This is where the referral system comes in... Here is how the advertising revenue is shared on the content pages: You earn... 1. 40% of the ad impressions on your own blackboards. 2. 20% of the ad impressions on your 2 generation of blackboards (created by your direct referrals) 3. 10% of the ad impressions your 3rd generation blackboards 4. 7% ... 4th 5. 3% .. 5th 6. 2% .. 7. 2% .. 8. 2% .. 9. 2% .. 10. 2% .. ---------------- Total: 90% of the ad impressions The rest of 10% are feeding the system, so, don't worry about how the system will survive being free. If you have other questions... I'm here...
I think you've vastly overcomplicated the system and that in itself will scare people off from using it. Blackboards? Why not just say webpages? Im totally lost on what you are offering and I guess other people will be too. Oh and the diagram only makes the situation worse.
I guess you're right... I'm thinking of creating a video to better explain how it works... But, in fact, the system is extremly easy to use... because you can use whatever you need from its features. They work very well individually also... I guess it's better to just sign up and try each feature alone...
A video would be helpful but you could achieve it in a diagram, you just need to structure it better and keep it as simple as possible. Maybe a totally different format is in order, have say four boxes with arrows pointing to the money in the middle. You earn from your profile, information pages, referrals and a mailing list right? Thats cool but what sets your site apart from the rest? Sure you may have a couple extra features that rivals dont. How do they they really improve the service and why should people go with you? Why should people go with you instead of creating their own site that will be worth more in the long run?
Well, I'm not saying not to build your own website at all! The system works even better if you have your own website... You can promote your website in your blackboards (and get some quality, on topic links, while still earning money from advertising, unlike other article directories) and use both your website and your blackboards to caputre email addresses... Then you can use Learniacs to schedule an email series promoting your own products or affiliate products... or you can simply send them an email to inform them about a cool blog post you've just published on your website... or a new blackboard you have created... You can let your blog readers connect with you on Learniacs and, if they don't have an account, they will be registered as your referrals when they signup... This way, you don't turn into a sales person at all... you just let them know that you have a Learniacs account and they can connect with you... Everything is very flexible...
Yes, the blackboards are similar to HubPages' hubs and Squidoo's lenses... Except you get your own AdSense ads displayed, so, you get your money directly into your AdSense account (I don't know about HubPages, but Squidoo only pays you if your lensrank is very good... not the case with Learniacs). And Learniacs also comes with a recurring income referral program and mailing list...
