Why I’m Proud I’m Losing Money Affiliate Marketing:
Written by Tevin on March 4, 2008 – 9:22 pm -Ok so. No. I have not fallen off the earth. Nor, have I fallen off the edge of the blogosphere. I have just been engulfed in a number of projects. The least of which is affiliate marketing.
First off, I’d like to give a big congrats to Eric at the $1000 Affiliate Experiment who earned $1000 affiliate marketing just 3 months after starting. If you’re looking to make money with BANS or PPC marketing. I suggest you give his blog a read, because he’s doing it everyday.
What in the hell have I been up to? Well, I’m putting one of the most complex affiliate programs I have ever done.
I found a niche that other’s are converting in. And then I found targeted keywords that NO ONE is bidding on (heh! Sorry, I’m not tellin’ quite yet…). I found out those key words are getting thousands of searches each per day. So the last two weeks I have spent building an optimizing my landing page, getting ready for me to scale.
I have been spending a few bucks everyday on PPC ads on adwords and Yahoo! Testing out the traffic.
As of right now, I have not had any conversions. However, I have been able to double my initial CTR on my ads, and I have been about to take my landing page from a 10% CTR to over 50%.
It has been one HELL of a learning experience. It’s exhausting. Exciting. And another “ex” word that I don’t even know.
I have been spending every night after hours in my office; tweaking, building, testing, changing. I must say I am learning a ton. I am confident that this offer, once structured correctly is going to convert very well and start making a good (hopefully GREAT) income. It is scaleable beyond belief. It’s not out of the question that I’ll have over 1,000 landing pages, if it starts converting for me.
I am doing everything I know that I can to push myself for success. Are you pushing yourself on a daily basis? Or do you just surf and read the web and pretend your productive?
