Google is tricky and numbers don’t always add up. MY domains are new, not much content either, it’s hard to compete with few years old forum that is updated every minute. That’s why i will need much more content updates and steady long term link building to get my first place on Google for the keywords I want. Not the easiest thing to do but possible ; )

3 Month coming, didn’t cross $10k mark as I had slight 1 month delay. This month want to hit at least $100, it’s still nothing compared by my goals but it seems not that easy. Getting Google traffic takes time and it’s not going to happen overnight. My prognoses at start were a bit ’silly’, well but they keep me going ; ]

Still challenge is challenge, so I will try hit $10k first mark as soon as I can to go to $20k next..

I got Market Samurai software and it kicks ass!!! IT helped me a lot with competition analysis. Now I know exactly how much work could it be possible involved to be first on google for specific keyword. It gives me a lot of power and better understanding what it takes to be on the top. I recommend anyone this tool who is into SEO game, best tool I’ve ever used.

In most niches top sites has at least 1,2k backlinks to all subpages, most places 1 for keyword 100-1k backlinks to this specific subpage. It make ultra-hard to achieve first place, to get so many backlinks could take 100-200 days with steady 5-10 backlinks a day to don’t get sandboxed.

Im submitting now articles for all 40 sites. In month 3th, that I’m now I’m going to focus to get some budget, at least $5k for next month to finish some sites from previous month and start 3rd month sites.

I learnt a lot in just couple of months. I screwed a bit in budget management. Although I planned at start to spend correctly the money for first 2 months, on the second month I was lacking sufficient amount of money that stopped me from finishing some sites. I’m not sure how it happened actually but it happened. I should have monitor regularly, for example weekly the money I spent. Instead I went a bit crazy ; P

My plans are for next few months to get very heavy into link building for first 20 sites, later on sites from second month. Simontenously get 3rd month sites get running and do typical video/article marketing. Additionally I will get in couple of projects to get $5k+/m profit to fuel new sites and not get stuck.

Getting $50k mark, possible? Absolutely, I see already sales coming from little traffic I have. The potential is out there, and what needed? Traffic, traffic, traffic! So let’s play the Google game!

Will I get this mark this year? Possible not, it’s a long term game. I’m more about creating long term business assets that will serve me for years to come, with domains, seo rankings, leads and client lists.

I believe to hit mark $500/m per site I will need 200-300 hits a day. That should be about 10-20 leads a day. I believe with more leads coming, the sales will increase naturally because of follow up msg. For most sites I have set up 30 msg, for first 50 days, planning to extend it to 180 days and eventually to full year of follow ups ; D I heard it from many marketers, not sure if it was in Frank Kern training or someone else, the more follow ups the better. Person can buy your product even after 6 months. And if someone unsubscribe? Well not a big deal, it means this person didn’t like the subject bad enough anyway. He/she won’t buy a product anyway, no lose for me.

Back to the sites, I see few niche ’superstars’ raising slowly. It’s still to early to know but some sites are getting nice sales conversions, all these sales came not from email marketing, follow ups, but direct visit to the sales page.

        

Any of the above questions sound familiar? It’s all answer in below video, if you like it leave feedback. I’m planning to do next myths but need to know if this information is valuable for you. Leave comment down below, thank you : )

I see a lot of potential in some niches, traffic potential and conversion. Its still not enough sales to meet my objectives but I’m comng to it. Trying to get more budget for new sites. I believe I cna make $500+/m per website but it may not happen in first 1,2 months of promotion but maybe 3+ month. That’s just how Google works.

I broke also 20 limit of new subscribers a day. I see significant increase of it. I’m thinking about adding pop up opt in boxes on some sales pages, in almost every product I have over 30 affiliates promoting me, in some products sending me 50+ hits a day. I’m not sure about the quality of this traffic, I checked some sources in google analytics and saw from 1 top affilite traffic from craigslist, backpage, usfreeads. I’m not sure if it can be very targeted traffic.

My traffic is converting much better though, through just articles and videos. Some sales pages got 300+ hits and no sales – will see if anything changes in the future.

        

It’s actually my some affiliate’s sale, someone sold my product!! That’s my first sale as a vendor on Clickbank.

I made just $5.78, but hey, the game didn’t begin yet ;] Can’t wait for more !!

        

Yesterday I learnt few useful tips that you can incorporate while selling information online:

• Send at least first 10 follow up messages every day, next ones you can send every 2,3 days, depends on your goals and market – It will help to remind people on your site and sell in first weeks where they can be most willing to buy.
• Knowing your customers is the king – don’t take for granted that you know your target market if you didn’t do any research. Biggest frustrations or desires are also the biggest motivators for people to buy any ebook. Make sure to incorporate biggest frustration or pleasure factor in your headline on your sales letter. It will hook the right people and talk to them like you really know them well. You will present to your potential customers that you know their problems and you have the solution. The thing is that first you need to prove them that you care about their problems, that you understand the frustration or dreams they have in their mind. That’s where the magic happen – when you can connect to your customer on the deeper level.
• Be specific in your sales copy. Don’t try to write very generic and general statements that doesn’t mean much. Instead focus on something that you think your customer has problem with and thinking about ti all the time. Once person will find your copy, he/she will be extremely captivated what do you have to say. Also don’t use unnecessary words in your headline, be short and precise. If you headline is 4-7 lines you may separate it to 2 separate headlines, it may enhance readibility and clearance.
• How well you are going to do in any niche depends upon the amount of frustration/desire people have in this niche. It may not be related to the size of the market or competition. Although once a customer has more choice, the selling may be harder as he/she have more choices, some markets are selling better and some worse. Sometimes it’s hard to say which market can be better for your product. The easiest way is to test them. You can try to promote some affiliate products at first and see how they are converting. Another way is to go to various forums around this market and see how many questions people have. If you can find a lot of frustration and problems around this niche – it can be a good sign. Dig deeper and deeper before making any assumptions about the market.
• Some markets may seem not too profitable at the first sight, but can be extremely profitable long term. We often have assumptions about some market, that they can’t be hot. You have to remember that your knowledge about specific niche may be actually very limited and it may be must bigger than you even thought. That’s why research and testing can help find these untapped market that many people didn’t try. No competition on clickbank doesn’t mean the market is bad. If you are aiming into a small niche there can be simply no competitors and a lot of money to be made. Most people prefer to go into bigger niches where there is more money to be made. That may be not always true. Especially regarding traffic generation, I’ve found out that generating a lot of traffic to small, untapped niches is so much easier, and dominating this niche on Google very easy. It doesn’t require any super-ninja tactics like everyone is showing you in internet marketing market.
• Avoiding pain is almost always better than gaining pleasure. We, as humans, tend to response much more to avoid pain solutions than pleasure. It comes from our nature, it’s undeniable. When you are looking for a hot market, avoid pain markets can be extremely lucrative. Some of them are related to treating diseases, remedies, avoiding embarrassment etc.

        

I’m planning to try some pop up optins to increase my opt in rate in the future, because really it’s so much easier to sell someone over the email than on the first visit. That’s why my main focus is to get as many opt ins as possible because I know later on with big lists over 1000+ it’s easy to sell. Especially as I’m providing quality articles and information over follow up messages with small ‘commercial interruptions’.

        

Anyway, today I checked my Google Analytics and found out some traffic coming. Few websites had spike like 10-20 hits in last few days or 1 day. It seems when you get accepted to Clickbank many affiliates are checking out your website. Additionally there are many websites like cbengine that brought me some traffic too. What’s great about analytics I know exactly my affiliates usernames from accesses content, like:

mysite.com/index1.html?hop=someaffiliatelogin

So I will know now exactly how much traffic each affilite is sending me and what quality of traffic. I’m not sure if I can check referral, as it was showing me direct traffic from these ‘hop links’.

I’m very happy seeying some traffic coming as I didn’t build any links or did any marketing yet. Some sites has like 50-70% from Google, so that’s great!

The only concern I had is that my bounce rate… In some sites as high as 80%+! I don’t kknow if it’s average, I think it’s pretty high. On many sites the worst bounce rate has Google traffic, on 1 website over 90%+ bounce rate… Damn..

That’s very surprising, as from my experience Google traffic was always outperforming all of me other traffic sources. But I have to take in mind it’s still a very low traffic volume and all these analysis are rather not accurate.

Couple of niches showed a lot of long tail keywords – that’s a good sign – and even first pages on Google for some main keywords.

On 1 of my website with a bit better design I had 70% bounce rate. That started to make me thinking that the problem can lay in design – showing the content the right way. The other problem can be that I’m selling too much on each content page – that may turn off some people. Other thing not many photos on pages, too much text, not enough breaks. Maybe the background color turns people off?

From this stage of the game it’s really hard to predict what’s wrong, if something is wrong. Time will tell.

I’m a bit concerned about my next month budget, but have couple of ideas to make some fast cash in few weeks. It’s going to involve site flipping…

        

August 3rd, site sold and $20.5k goes to me. There was some financing but most was upfront. Am I unhappy because of it? Of course not! : P

I tried to sell this website for some time, talking to many people and never really sold it. Once I’ve written my goals it ‘miraculously’ happened. It took just 7 days.

Is it some cosmic super power, law of attraction? I don’t know but I do know that the power of belief is one of the strongest powers in the universe. Maybe it’s just my strong belief in law of attraction made this law work for me, maybe it doesn’t exist universally but to people that do strongly believe in it. Maybe once we put our mind to any kind of ideology, belief it will be true. It means there are no ultimate truth, cause all ideologies are false, all beliefs are false and there are subjective. We can create our reality how we want to and concepts we acknowledge over the years just help us logically build our map of reality so we are not lost in just emotional perception of the world. And maybe that I’m saying is just my uplifted imagination, and my experience of the world is irrelevant. Just maybe
