I woke up feeling brand new, no worries in the world. Even if I was to lose my job today I really think I have saved enough to launch almost any business idea I have stored in my head off the ground.  I invested in a real estate course that’s about Wholesaling property. Wholesaling is  basically finding property at a discounted price and then finding a buyer for the property making the deal possible. Now I know  it sounds like a realtor but I am really far from that. There is no commission to be split. I determine  my profit point and I don’t live by a companies rules. Basically I felt  like I went back into something I understand and that is Affiliate Marketing.

With Wholesaling I get to use my ppc knowledge and some ppv to help me find buyers and sellers. I am going to start pushing myself after this weekend to achieve 30k within in 3 months.  Basically I have until September 28 2010, to reach my goal. My reward will be a trip and possibly some cigars.

I will be posting on a daily basis about a lot of things  especially  about  the real estate. I really want to motivate myself and others to reach for their goals and never look back.

Welp it is that time again. Fuck You Pay ME!

I am going to create a case study around an offer. Don’t ask why I choose offers because I dont have a specific system. I just see something I think people might need and go from there. Don’t always stress over where your gonna get the traffic. If you are like me and just beginning toy around have fun just don’t blow all your money.

So the network I am using for this Case Study is *drum roll*….. Convert2Media url: http://www.c2mclicks.com

Why C2M because Ruck is a pretty cool guy, he runs a coaching program, and my Affiliate Manager aka Mike K is ALWAYS available even on the damn weekends.

Now time for the offer I have chosen ‘Body Solutions Cellulite System’ now as I said dont ask why. I spoke to Mike he told me there hasnt been much traffic but it does seem like a good offer. That is all I want to hear.

Another reason you select something like this, because in any given economy people still want to look good, so with weight loss comes something else a bright smile and good looking legs. Women want to look good on the beach. Give them the solution mi amigos.

So now that I have chosen my offer time to figure out where I want to market. I would say yahoo or msn for cheap clicks but lets not base it off of that, lets look where the affiliate marketers are. Where evere they are I wanna be.

I am only going to use 3 keywords to find out more about this market on the big 3. Cellulite, Cellulite Removal, and Cellulite Cream.

MSN.com

http://www.divas-blog.com/cellulite-treatments-the-secret-revealed – flog weird design though

Looks like Yahoo is the clear winner in the most competitors.

Sorry for not updating, I have just completed working on my third campaign. It just has been so annoying bouncing from 2 failures. My first campaign was sorta my fault
#1. In this economy nobody is looking to buy a car, possibly sell but not buy.
#2. Some offers are not made for search network, I can see that working better for content.
#3. There was no real competition only real companies. If you can’t build a LP for it stay the hell away from it IMO.

As for my 2nd campaign it was anti wrinkle cream. I had 2 landing pages developed a review style and a splash page for Lift SP. The CTR from LP to offer was horrible, 15-20% is not a good CTR. I did receive 2 conversion which earned me 68$ but at the cost of 200$. I will say this much I think the niche was full of browsers I saw the same complaint on WickedFire. Ruck stated I should try to presell some more I will come back to this niche later on.

I am now on my 3rd offer, I have done my due diligence. Looked at what others are doing A whole lot of flogs and review sites. I have set myself up with a landing site that can work for almost any one of the offers in that vertical ( no it is not a flog) and a review site. My LP designer is SiteStomp.com must say It is amazing work in such short time.

To keep myself busy I will begin working on another campaign while I wait for this one to get approved on Yahoo.

This next campaign I am going to work on will be public showing step by step what I do to complete a campaign it might not go live but that is not the point. I really want to help others and I also want to improve my skill in how fast I can get these made. Absorbing everything you read helps but actually doing the work helps a lot more.

Do Work,
FYP me

One thing  to wake up to not seeing one God damn conversion, but it is another thing to wake up and see all your clicks come from Bullshit Traffic. I will just let this image speak for itself.

Yes a Big Fuck YOU Yahoo!

So with all that said can I start to get some real traffic YSM! I set my bids to 1.50 and the mother fuckers charged me the 1.50 from a .info domain the domain doesn’t even cost as much as my click!

These fucktards are gonna get a phone call as soon as they fucking open.

OH SORRY I should post something of value…… make sure what ever tracking software you have is double checking you referrer. Go to yahoo -> administration -> account general information -> blocked domains -> submit your infoz domains -> ????? -> Profit

The deeper we fall, the stronger we stay. And we’ll be better the second time around…..

Yup that is right time to launch my second campaign. I have dedicated a lot of time to  working on this next campaign. Now time for me to go over a checklist before I launch.

1. No Adgroups over 15 keywords
2. Budget per keyword is not over 1.00$
3. Campaign is being tracked properly on the keyword level and Landing Page.
4. Review content on landing page double check for typos
5. Have a set amount in my head that I don’t want to go over for this campaign.
6. Check for any new competition.

That all comes to one thing I hope from this campaign $$PROFIT$$

I will be expanding on what else to check for from a campaign once this one goes live and I gain some experience.  I will be updating the blog everyday once the campaign is up and running. Keeping all my Revenue up to date.

Use this to track your campaigns.

Also let me state I am not shooting to post quality blog post here, just wanna shoot informative ish in that brain of yours.

Today feels great I am not sure if it is because I feel like I am heading in a different direction. I bought myself a whiteboard wrote my goals down. Spoke to someone that had to say one thing that made me want to work harder ‘Have the attitude of somebody that is unemployed’. That is all I needed to hear because I know how that felt at one point. I busted my ass to find another job, interviewed with multiple companies, fixed computers on the side, any and everything I had skills in I would try to take advantage of that.

Of course right now I am not unemployed but the attitude of being unemployed makes you eager to find a source of income. I know this blog honestly only has one reader (2/28/09) and that is my buddy The Idle. I am content with that I really started this blog to be a journal of my transition from 9-5 to Affiliate Marketing. Hopefully it can be a resource for people that are going through this same process later on and if it does not I really do not mind.

I just completed setting up my first campaign… and I feel fucking great. So here goes some of the details, I will try my best to explain everything.

I decided to ask my affiliate manager Brittany (affiliate.com) what are some good offers to run on search. She named a few but none of them clicked for me, main reason none clicked was the simple fact they all were pretty competitive. She then named one for car quotes with an epc (earnings per click) of 0.70. I checked out the landing page it seemed pretty straight to the point.

With me deciding on the niche, I then did the Google trends research which showed me that it really doesn’t have much USA traffic, but has tons in UK searching for the term. I still proceeded to set it up for USA.

Did some Google searches for different variables of the keyword to see what competitors are doing and honestly, I could not find any other affiliate marketers unless they are all whitelabel (working directly with the company) or direct linking. I saw no real great looking LP’s (Landing Page) probably only one that had a page with every make of vehicles and a picture of at least one of the models. This is where I decided to actually run the campaign with YSM (yahoo search marketing) I made this decision because you can direct link with yahoo for now. The reason for direct linking is all my competitors have the field to fill in on the first page the customer comes to. If I was to setup a campaign with Google I would be forced to make a LP that I know won’t help me convert.
