Affiliate Earnings in December

Here's me again with a fresh stats on my earnings in December 2007.

Due to Christmas season online sales have tendency to decrease, especially in niches that do not relate to gifts and the like stuff. So I suffered this decrease and my earnigns lowered.

Here's my income from MoreNiche, my main affialite program:



Total earnings in December - 1397 $. November was better :)

I have to say that my PPC campaigns for high-comission penis growth product turned not so profitable than in November, so I see things that worked well once can turn "off" for some reasons.

My Current Business

I still haven't finished my site on penis devices, it is still not indexed by search engines, because I only drove PPC traffic to this site. I see that the site makes conversions, so it is time to finish it and start SEO promotion to attract search engine traffic.

I already know which keywords will convert on each of my main pages, and all I have to do it to write valuable content for another product and fill the site with content articles.

Just give me time!

I have also created another one site - oriented for purely PPC campaigns. I even created simple design for it and spent over 3 hours in Dreamweaver polishing it.

With MoreNiche and WorldNiche, you can easily book design for your site for free, but you will have to wait up to 3 weeks to get it done. I prefer to get it fast so I decided to master the art of creating designs for my own sites.

Actually, it is not the design that make you money, but the trust you convey to your visitors through your content and looks. If people feel trust to your site, they are more likely to buy through your aff links, even if your design is not ideal. Words are your main weapon here.

So now I'm mastering my copywriting skills, and analyse products I'm going to promote on my site, in order to create truly valuable preselling content.

Plans For 2008

Here's a lot work to do!!! Considering the fact I'm busy working full-time, it seems hard to create 20-30 quality sites to promote MoreNiche products. So, I'm about to turn my head to CPA (cost-per-action) affiliate programs and try to make quick bucks there.

I know that people are making real good cash with CPA networks, and one of the methods that still brings great resualts is Direct Linking, when you just create Google Ads, insert your affiliate link into Destination URL, and send traffic directly to the offer page. Your income mainly depends on the keywords you've chosen, and quality of merchant's Landing Page (will it convert or not).

Earnings in November

It's been a while...)

At last I have some free time to write about my affiliate success (strange but despite the enormous lack of free time I'm still successful in my affiliate affairs).

Ok, in November I uplifted my income again, and I managed to make the whopping 1726 $ - cool! (+40$ from another affiliate program)



Ok, how I managed to increase my revenues? Simple, I implemented PPC strategies to my new unfinished site promoting penis enlargement products. I realised that SEO takes a lot of time that I don't have now, so I decided to play PPC game and more, to succeed in it.

The whole thing turned to be as easy as pie. I cannot understand why many affiliate marketers are afraid of PPC and don't try this amazing opportunity to make profits fast and easy! Imagine, you set up your campaign and start getting traffic in a matter of hours, the sales come in also if you've done everything right.

How I started PPC game?

I created comprehensive review page about well-converting penis product promoted by MoreNiche. As the price for such products is between 190 and 400+$, you have to understand that people need no buy-from-me-now bullshit but a comprehensive information about the product, it's benefits and negatives. This helps to make the buying decision.

I made that review, described the product and it's bonuses, showed how a man can benefit from it and solve his problem, added several images of the product and made strong calls-to-action on my page. Several in-text deep links to merchant's site also.

Then, I created AdWords campaign and targeted it for people already looking for this specific product (MoreNiche products have very good brand awareness, that's why you can make money easily).

People clicked on my ad, then clicked-trough to product's site and sometimes ordered the product))) So far in November I've made more than 800$ in comissions from the site that is not complete yet.

There were also good sales of weight loss product, that made me over 800$ in comissions also, but I have to admit I did nothing for my weight loss site, and these sales are coming thanks to top positions in Google.

Gotta add some articles and links not to lose my top positions.

Other affiliate programs

My friend showed me aff program - Puremeds.com - that promoted penis enhancemet pills with a free 1 bottle trial. I signed up and decided to use direct links just to see how it works. The site's landing page looked good, so I created AdWords campaign, targeted it for people looking for free penis pills trials, and launched it.

The keywords were cheap, and my campaign turned profitable, as I earned 40$ in comissions. Thanks to this comissions I managed to open Epassporte account to recieve money fast.

Now this campaign lost success, but I see that if direct linking worked, pre-sell informative LP will work great to generate orders. I just have to find time to create the site about popular products and provide visitors with valuable info helping to make buying decision.

MN Wallet

While writing the post, I got Moreniche Wallet as a free gift for making over 200 posts in Moreniche forum. Nice wallet to store my comissions in :)

I'm off for vacations

I have something interesting to say about "easy way to make money as affiliate". Hope I'll find some time to make a post about PPC and how really profitable it can be! Stay tuned!

Earnings in October

Ok my dear readers, I've got some great news for you! My conversion rate doubled in this month, my sales doubled and my earnings also.

Here's what I earned in October with my favourite affiliate program Moreniche:



You can see the sum of 956.65 $ of overall income, but Moreniche was not the one and only source of my income. My site was so good that I also had one sale of Worldniche product ( 27.58 $) and one sale of full 6 month pack of Joebucks product (80 $ comission).

So my total earnings in October are 1064.23 $!

As you see, in October I managed to achieve my current financial goal.

Most of the sales I got were from Moreniche, especially the first 2 weeks of October were so good - I made 1 or 2 sales almost everyday! That was great - you wake up in the morning, and the first thing you do after shuuting up the alarm in your mobile phone is read sms messages notifying you how many comissions you made while asleep =)

Why I succeded?

Well the only thing to say - I did almost no hard work to my site. Just links exchanges to attract more links to my site. All those link exchanges were other webmasters initiative, so I had only to respond and upload their links on my pages. Usual routine that takes 15-20 minutes of my time.

But my amazing sales increase was due to conversion growth - no additional traffic. All I did were minor changes on several pages of my site - I changed some calls to action, added some in-text links to product pages, and (!) replaced some links to product site's homepage for deep links.

I thought that home page of the product site is not as well optimized for conversions as other pages. So I just added several relevant deep links to product site's pages in text of my pages. That works for sure!

Ok, enough of revealing the secrets =) If you want to start your own business, click here to start from Moreniche, as it's the only affiliate program that helps you to make your first sale, and where is the first sale, there is a potential to limitless success. I'm the live example as you see. Just real results, just real actions.

Earnings in September

Well, september is over and I have unexpectedly nice result! More than in August, total 9 sales and net result is 440 $.


It was all real fun - maybe you read my birthday post, I made 4 sales in that day totally, making total 220$ in one day! It was incredible gift for my birthday, but afterwards...

Just one sale with 20$ comission and - silence! No sales at all. The discount program for weight loss product was over, and I decided I met my dark time in business.

I kept concentrating on reading, learning and creating my 3rd site. All I did for my main income site were links exchanges - lots of them. When your site is in top 10 in Google, you just have to sit and receive LOADS of emails asking to exchange links with you!

I thought Septermber isn't gonna be better than August, and yesterday I was about writing this post about my total earnings, but suddenly ...!

2 sales and 140 $ comission, with the last September sale made hours before September ended - so, I set up new record of 440 $ in affiliate comissions. All my sales except one were from Moreniche.

To be frank, I did almost nothing for my main income site - as you see, the greatest benefit of affiliate business is once you set up your income stream - it starts to work on its own! And with high quality set of products on Moreniche and Worldniche it is a guaranteed way for extra income.

Update

Just as I was writing the post, I made my first October sale. I also check top Moreniche sellers stats and see lots of opportunities in penis enlargement product niche. The guyes who came to Moreniche just a month ago and created their first site, are making their first sales already!

I better hurry up with my site on penis product as missing 175$ comission from 1 sale is stoopid =)

Are you ready to lose the opportunity of making 175$ from just 1 sale? Then don't sign-up to Moreniche now! :)

If you nevertheless decided to start your own extra source of income, sign up and send me your affiliate ID and any questions to anthony_voronoff [at] yahoo.com. I can help you with advice how to start it faster and not make mistakes I made.

My site is 16 days old - time to check rankings!

Ok my new site is 16 days old - I uploaded it on 29.08 (see New site launched post) and today is 13.09 so I decided to check my rankings in SEs for my main keywords.

First I went to Google and typed site:www.XXXXXX.com and found that Google indexed 29 of my pages - all my content pages are indexed successfully.

Then I picked my 3 long tail keywords (my main kws are inside long-tail) and found:

Google Yahoo MSN

natural weight loss pills reviews - 200 238 -

best natural weight loss pills reviews - 79 73 -

best natural weight loss pills - 312 555 -

It is too early to check my generic keywords, but I see pretty nice results. It took about 2 months to get at least 800 position for my long tail keywords for my first site.

If you passed that first battle, the hardest one, next battles will be easier.

Seems that MSN hasn't indexed my site yet, maybe it takes some more time to get indexed at MSN, but what I do care about is Google, and it seems Google appreciates my actions. Well baby, let's make friends! :) I need that top 10!

Sales on Moreniche

I made several more sales but I'm not satisfied with my results. Basically the affiliate business success is about bringing enough traffic to your site and convert that traffic. While I see traffic from 5 position in Google for very trafficable keyword, the other side - it's a broad term and broad terms need great presell.

It's all up to copywriting now. But my copywriting was just facts and lots of info, while value of the content is not only useful information, it is EMOTIONS, new resource that people get while reading your content. My text was not emotional, so I see pretty weak conversions now.

Dependance on sales

There's interesting psychological catch - after initial success and many sales I began to feel dependent on sales. If I see no sales today I feel embarrased and like I'm losing money. Imagine, you wake up in the morning and check your stats - and see a sale. In a day or two another sale - you work on and feel great because your actions are rewarded.

And today you wake up and see no sales, and ten days no sales... you feel you could get them, but there's nothing and it is like you lost some money.

Bad feeling, but that's business - I still haven't found a key to making steady sales. I still have only one site and another one on the road.

...But I have many ideas, I keep on reading lots of stuff on affiliate business. While workign full time, it is hard to do, but see that goal of 1000$ monthly? So there's no excuses!

Welcome to Google AdWords

Today I decided to spend my 50$ on Google Adwords.

I created one ad group with info on weight loss product discount. 88 impressions 0 clicks yet. Average ad position is 4. Well nobody is interested in my ad, hm... Or nobody is seeing my ad?

Right now I created another ad group, increased my bid, placed the same keywords and made interesting trick which allows to get traffic to my site without spending money for ad clicks.

I wonder how my experiment goes... %) Will it work or not...

How about my new site?

Yesterday I created sitemap.xml file and submitted it to Google. Now Google indexed 7 pages from my site. The site also appeared in SERPs for my main keywords already, but far from even top 500.

Article rocks!

Oops! Today I've checked my clicks stats and found that my article is back in Google top 6 for very competitive keyword. This article is special! I would like to write a post about the power of PROPER article marketing, but I think I'll do it later... Stay tuned!

Earnings in August

Ok it's time to see my financial result for August with Moreniche.

I had 7 sales and earned 406.67$ totally.

Here's the stats:


Well, not bad but it could be better. Why that?

1. August is the last summer month large part of internet auditory is on vacations and so on. Some problems in USA appeared so we have total lowering of online sales.

2. I did my first site from scratch and knew nothing about making a good sales copy, so my copywriting was pretty bad, that affects conversions badly. But now the site is in Google top 10 for very competitive and trafficable keywords so I don't want to lose my hard-earned positions.

3. Don't forget I'm working full-time so I cannot spend much time on the whole thing. I can say it's a nice result for working just several hours a week.

But my current financial goal is making 1000$ from affiliate marketing, so there's still some work to do.

What's up with my second site?

I have several "sattelite" blogs that feed my site with links regularly and attract additional traffic that I try to drive to my main site and to product sites from banners. So I made several posts yesterday and placed links to a new site. Then I pinged blogs and had a cup of coffee =) Today I checked Google and found that it indexed 3 pages from my new site. Good result.

Third site ideas

Oh man, I'm so lazy! I didn't even started my third site. Now I'm just writing down fresh ideas how to improve conversions, site structure sketches and so on. I decided to pick custom Moreniche template for this site, though I would not recommend to use custom templates. This is just small test site on .info domain and I'm planning to get to top 10 for not competitive but not trafficable keywords.

Now what about you?

Are you just curious or want to start making money right now? ;)
If yes, sign up to MoreNiche and make your wealth!

New site launched, no day without a sale on Moreniche

Three days ago I launched my second site. I wanted it indexed as quickly as possible and Digged it, but Digg experiment failed - my site isn't indexed by Google yet.

However, Netscape page with info about my site is in top 20 Google for my main keyword, so I expect some small traffic =)

After I uploaded my site on server, I bookmarked it to Digg, Netscape, Stumbleupon and other social sites using http://www.socialposter.com/ and the very first day I had 30 visitors. Not bad for a first day.

I also wrote small article and submitted it to several article sites. Article is accepted and I found it reprinted already) So the inbound links to my new site are about to come. (I'm planning to write a post about article marketing and give you some valuable info later, so subscribe to my rss).

What about sales on Moreniche?

Oooww! It's amazing! Moreniche product managers did outstanding marketing move - they started a week of discount sales of our product and left our comissions the same as with usual sales.

Conversion is great - I made a sale every day! My earnings incerased x3 times during several past days. I'm planning to make epassporte card as I see the business with Moreniche is profitable affair without doubt.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up to Moreniche and start making money into YOUR pocket :)

Plan for the future week

It is simple - I'm starting my third site - on penis enlargement product that also has great conversions and it's comission is 175$. I've chosen not competitive keywords and I hope to get close to top 50 in a matter of month.

Ok enough of talk - it's time to read all about new product.

New site on weight loss product

I've decided to create a site to promote specifically Worldniche weight loss product. I've had several sales already and was about to get the first cheque over 100$, but one order has been canceled by the customer, so I gotta make at least one sale + to get that cheque.

My first site promotes Moreniche weight loss product successfully (yesterday I had another sale and 60$ comission), so it's useless to see sales of other products from it.

Opposite to my first site, I will test some good presell copy, not too wordy. I guess people dont' have much time and patience to read lots of text saying obvious things - such text does not generate much sales.

Better say less, but hit the bull's eye.
