    Hi
    Yes i am new to digital point forums but no i am not in any way new to internet marketing. I have been studying the market for the past four years and have made very few sales trying out a few different techniques. I have read over several threads in dp and would like to now start my own documented trip through my journey of making $50-$100 daily with article marketing and clickbank. I think that articlebase is the best bet for starting your articles at as after 20 or so submissions it is on auto submission.
    well i am starting this journal today as i have created my first domain for this project picked my first product from the clickbank marketplace and also wrote four articles linking back to my domain.
    I used godaddy hosting and wrote a review on my site of the product that i am promoting.

    Day 1

    4 articles written on one product (submitted to articlebase waiting to get approved)
    domain name picked out
    wordpress blog review created on my landing page

    I am going to try and write between 5-10 articles per day starting tomorrow just after creating the review and the four others i feel pretty accomplished for the first day (also including much product and keyword research).

    I hope that in the next few weeks i will see at least one sale and then from thier my sales should definitely take off. I am also going to start testing new products in the future but right now i am sticking with one that i know converts. I will post updates daily for the status that i am at including
    # OF ARTICLES TO DATE
    SUBMISSION STATUS
    #OF SALES TO DATE
    #SALES MADE THAT DAY

    Please only motivational positive comments or help is necessary. I am doing this to keep myself on track and will not drop the thread or miss a daily post if i can help it up until the point that i am making a steady $50-$100 in sales per day.

    I have done previous article marketing in the past but only pumped out about 10 articles total that made me about 4 sales over about a month.
    with 5-10 a day i will have at least 100 up a month making the income rise significantly. I know its possible to be making $50-$100 steadily with article marketing it will take a while but i will not stop until the goal is met

    trusteddigital--I want to wish you luck, and I'll be following your progress. Are you going to copy petehols method? Will your blog be a "review" blog only, and how does a review blog work? What tools did you use for your keyword research?

    Is this going to be like a landing page with the sales pitch, then just the about and privacy sections etc? Or are you providing various blog posts on the niche/product/similar products etc to gather some decent keyword variations?! Also, have you purchased a keyword-rich domain based on one such Clickbank product or the specific niche? I am interested in this journal, as have been thinking about giving Clickbank a try with one such targeted product. Hope it goes well.:D

    @notmynic petehols thread did inpspire me alot to create this thread and yes will be similiar but with corrections where i feel necessary. Yes it is a short review blog using wordpress with two links to the clickbank sales page for the product. i have also registered the wordpress blog with a domain name i chose with godaddy.
    @ryan6 its just a short review post on a wordpress blog about the product i am posting with two links to the clickbank sales page. The domain is similiar to the product but i am more interested in getting the articles seo so i can get them to the top of google and my blog will be the transfer to the clickbank sales page. I will make improvements with the blog and similiar strategies as this project progresses and will keep you all updated.

    still awaiting the articlebase submittion on my first four articles which will definitely be like another 2-3 days.

    Why only use articlebase? Why not use ezinearticles first and then submit the same article to 10 or so other directories? Seems like you are really limiting yourself.

    Good luck!!

    For the time being i am using articlebase as the main source and then submitting these articles to other directories a little changed. Ezine just takes way too long and articlebase nowadays is able to produce the same results that ezine could and can get picked up by google the same if using the right keywords, and bookmarking, adding backlinks

    Hi everyone
    i just finish 3 more articles and submitted them to articlebase for a total of 7 under eview now. By the end of today i would like to have at least 10 under review. The more in the beginning the better so i can achieve instant submission status which i think you achieve after about 20-25 successful posts. I soon want to submit these articles to other directories changed up a bit after they are accepted by article base. I will then start builing backlinks to these products and create squidoo, hubpages, and blog posts linking back to my articles. It would be nice to have a solid 50 articles successfully submitted to articlebase in the next two weeks.
    My goal is to have my first sale come in in the next 2-3 weeks and from there hopefully the sales will start taking off.
    In my downtime i will be cranking out articles as i would like to get as many as possible out there in the beginning.
    If anyone has any questions or comments i will gladly respond as this post is to help others/motivate so post up :)

    After the start of my first sale i will be posting weekly screenshots of my clickbank sale so viewers can get an idea of how long it takes to grow income using my process

    thanks and i will post back tonight with total number of articles and any otbher ideas that come to mind

    i am here to post the work i have completed today for my journal project and my status is as follows

    Day 2

    -10 articles submitted to articlebase still unapproved
    -touch ups to the blog review page for my clickbank product

    I will start creating backlinks and bookmarking to the articles as they get approved which shouldnt take that much longer as articlebase is pretty quick with it.
    I cant wait until i reach the instant submission with articlebase...
    I will keep you updated and will have about 4-5 articles done tomorrow.

    Like i said earlier today i will keep you updated with screenshots as the money starts coming in and for those who dont trust the screenshots i will also post pics of me holding the clickbank checks that i recieve

    Nice work there trustedigital. The only thing you need to hope for now is that your landing page/site is good, and the clickbank product is good, and finally that the clickbank landing page is good.

    One way to test this is to set up a quick and dirty PPC campaign first, before writing all those articles, setting up a site etc.:)) It might turn out that you have done all this work for nothing:))

    @zeekstern- i am marketing a product that i have had a few sales with,and has good gravity. yes i am not sure how well the blog will convert but i will find this out after my articles start to submit. I might have to change the blog around a little but for the most part it seems that a short pre sell is what you are looking for in a landing page. Just a short review of the product based on your experiences. keep this short and sweet and you will generate many more clicks than you would with a long packed content site.

    i will soon start to test out new products but would like to get at least 50 articles out for this one and at least one sale until i purchase more domains

    Nice journal, will follow your progress.
    I did not have any article marketing sales so far as I haven't put in really much efforts.
    PPC seems to be easier for me compared to article marketing.

    Oh yes...That does work for most products. I haven't had much luck with it being short and sweet for a single product. 3 products has worked well for me.

    Looking forward in seeing how it turns out for you.

    Good luck!!

    Ok some curiosity here.

    You created a blog with Wordpress.
    You wrote articles and submit them to article base and later more directories.

    Qns.
    Do you post the submitted article ON your blog? I suppose no.
    What are your post in your blog about?
    Short reviews like you mentioned?
    How many?
    1 blog reviewing same product several times post?
    What are your articles about then?
    General information regarding and related to the product?

    @vexez- the articles i write for wordpress are not on my blog.
    The blog is a short review a couple paragraphs talking about my experience with the product and how it helped me compared to other similiar products. Then listed the benefits, etc, with two clickable links.

    Day 3

    9 of my articles were approved today and so far 22 article views total for all 9
    i wrote 4 new articles today and they are unaproved along with the other one that still hasnt been approved
    articlebase is so much quicker than ezine and reaps the same benefits.
