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?

Hey, thanks for the shout out Tevin.

I really think you’re campaign is going to just “click” soon and start brining in some cash.

Maybe that word is “exhilirating” ? :D Anyway, good work in at least doing well in the PPC area and finding a niche.

All the best and hope to hear more awesome stories from ya mate ;)

Good luck with this! I pushing my way through this as well. Keep the info coming!

Is there an easy way to tell which keywords no one is bidding on? Is it as easy as just entering that keyword into google and seeing if any ads come back?
