Affiliate & Internet Marketing - For Real!

I just wanted to give anyone who is following this blog an update to my YTD earnings through all of affiliate and internet marketing efforts. FYI - I do nothing to optimize this blog, I only provide it in case people stumble on it and want to see my progress!

ClickBank - $6,742
Online Casino Affiliates - $1,974
Google AdSense - $74.96 (still working on the same $100 threshold as when I started over a year ago)
Sporting Good Affiliates - $1,998

Total - $10,788.96

AND

I have since left my job and started my own Web Design and Internet Marketing Firm for small/medium sized businesses in the Milwaukee, WI area! I am not killing it pay check wise, but am making more than I was at my old job and have FREEDOM!

So when asked if Affiliate Marketing and Internet Marketing work.....YES! When looking at the $10,000 I have made in the affiliate accounts, that is mostly passive now. I started there and worked my way up to creating web sites and marketing for live brick and mortar businesses. That being said, its not like I focused 40hrs a week all year long for that $10k.

I may be trying to go back to work on my Clickbank marketing and try to duplicate 2-3 more sites and try to get that $10k to $40k+ next year. Its fun, but I enjoy working with business owners more, so that were I spend my time.

Who knows what that figure would be if I did it full time this entire past year??? We will never know! Either way, it all worked out. So, thank Joel Comm!

100% FREE Money Making Opportunity!

Once again, this is by no means a get rich quick scheme. It is yet another method to make a few bucks while on the Internet.

Invite 5 pays you a small amount (3 cents) to view other companies advertisements and commercials. There is no set up fee and you can be off and running within minutes!

You would obviously have to view an insane amount before you would net any kind of decent payday. However, what Invite 5 allows you to do is set up a network, or downline if you will, 7 levels deep. You can earn commissions off of the money they are making by watching commercials and advertisements too!

Therefore, build that "pyramid" structure and make some money! Click on the button in the upper right hand corner of this blog that says Invite 5 to find out more info on this legitimate work from home opportunity.

ClickBank to the Bank! Work from home with confidence!




I have been doing surprising well with ClickBank! I am averaging around $500/month in commissions now. I honestly only put in about 5 hours a week in advertising online through Free sources like Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, Craigslist, Backpage, Yahoo and You Tube.

My highest month has just been over $750. Some weeks I will be in the $200 range, and then I will have a week with ZERO. So, I am still working on the consistency.

I am currently putting together a strategy to try and double my monthly income through video. I will keep you posted as soon as I launch this effort!

If you are looking for an honest review of the best work from home job opportunities, here you go. Good luck, stay positive, and take action!

Received 1st Check from Clickbank!

For those who are following, I received my 1st Check from Clickbank.com today for $251.06! I have been a member there for about (3) months trying to promote others digital products through Internet Marketing. I had my payment threshhold set at $100before I would receive a check. So, I had a few sales already over the last few months, but then tried a few different sales teqniques through twitter and hit a big couple of weeks! I actually sold almost $300, but Clickbank holds 10% for a few months in case of possible returns.

Kind of exciting. My product that sold the bet for me so far is a sports betting system, www.TheACEofSportsPicks.com. It is a betting system that includes both a Baseball Betting System as well as a Basketball Betting System. It seems to be working great!


Here's to further success!

Complete Surveys For Cash

By now you have heard of all the online millionaires out there. The stay at home moms, college students, even 12 year old kids, that are making ridiculous incomes with nothing more than a computer, keyboard, mouse, and an internet connection. You have contemplated trying one of the many methods of making money online and have reached the point where you are not sure which method is the best for you. If this sounds familiar, you need to stop thinking and start doing!

I understand that for every positive internet income success story you hear, there will be a few negative stories saying it is next to impossible to succeed online. Some will say it is the easiest thing they have ever did (beware of some of these guys as they are trying to sell you something!). Then there are the others that beat these ideas down and they tend to be the ones that have trouble committing themselves to a home business of any kind.

Truth be told, making money online can be easy! Super easy! However, it may take more than one night to succeed! This is usually more time than our “I want it now” culture is willing to invest.

How long will it take?

While completing surveys for cash will demand much less time than a traditional job, it will still require work and effort. However, the ultimate reward of any stay at home business is freeing up time to do things you enjoy. Whether it is spending more time with your family, traveling, fishing, going to school or just hanging out at the beach, this time is priceless.

A legitimate surveys for cash opportunity will allow you the freedom to take as many surveys as you can handle at any time of the day! No inventory to stock, no employees to pay, no supervisors to report to, and none of the other headaches of running any other kind of business.

The more surveys you take and complete, the more you get paid! It is that simple. Therefore, if you take a couple surveys on a Monday night, and expect to magically have a check for $2,500 on Tuesday, you may be in for a major disappointment. That being said, if you allocate a set amount of time per week, say 10 hours per week, and figure out you earnings per hour, you will find that you will be making far more money than any other part time or even full time job could ever pay you.

When you look at the long haul, and decide to invest a reasonable amount of time to your new online business, say 25-30 hours per week, you will start to see the bigger checks coming in. Then you will be able to start enjoying the extra free time you have created by replacing your old income with your new income from completing surveys for cash.

This is the “catch” of online marketing. If you only plan to put 5 hours a week into your completing surveys for cash business, expect smaller checks. If you want to make a great income, more time and effort will be required. However, maybe you only have a few extra hours a week to offer and/or only need some part time income. This is many of times the case for college students looking for flexible part time job employment.

Either way, if you set realistic expectations for your new online business, you will have a much higher success rate. You can start small and work your way into a significant steam of income if you take your time and learn what you can handle and commit yourself to a work routine. Bottom line, you can make a great income online taking surveys for cash. It all starts with TAKING ACTION!

The best part is that completing surveys for cash doesn’t require a large investment to start. If you have a computer, keyboard, mouse and an internet connection, you can start making money today! If you feel that taking easy surveys for money is the right opportunity for you, visit http://www.EasySurveysforCash.com to find out how to get started.

Week 13 - My Internet Payday REVIEW

Well, I just paid for my 4th month at $78 to remain a member to Joel Comm's My Internet Payday course. I have only made about $35 with Google AdSense since the beginning. I have multiple cliskbank, commission junction, link share and other affiliate links out there with minimal response.

The News Room post I made a few weeks ago is still going strong, but the pay is really weak. I think I am up to $10 there.

However, I have learned a few tips on making your own digital products, internet marketing the product, creating sales/pitch pages, making digital e-book covers and reflections (web 2.0), and other great internet marketing techniques.

I am currently writing an e-book with hope to launch a sales page in conjunction with clickbank to sell my product by August 1st, 2009. This project is what I hope will be the pay-day for this course. As Joel Comm explains later in his course, this is where online money is made, by selling your OWN product.

That being said, I have not made $500/week with google adsence. That will be difficult to pull off I think. So do not go into with the intentions of a big score with Google. Yet, I have made a little money with it, and I do think the My Internet Payday course by Joel Comm does provide value and still recommend taking it.

On a side note, I found another online income generating site that I will recommend to everyone, even friend and family. Once again, you will not make a ton of cash, but you you just might bring in a couple hundred a month with it. Maybe enough to pay your car or credit card payments with? Or enough to pay for this course! Check out the Spider link to the right or below.

The system will take you about an hour or two to get setup, but will only run you $10-$20 for domain setup.

Good Luck!
Do you have your own world-wide-web yet?

Day 25 - My Internet Payday Review Update

As of end of day, May 28th 2009, I have had 4,956 Page Impressions, 20 Clicks, paying me $10.46 from Google. I am rolling out a big campaign for the month of June for my www.DoubleDownNow.NET site. This will be the test. The test of I think this program will work!

Week 4 training was about using social networking (ie. Facebook, Twitter, etc). I am in the process of setting up those pages now.

All in all, the training is still worth the $77 I have invested. I need to make a decision if I am going to roll into month 2 though quickly. As of now, yes.

Day 17 - My Internet Payday Review Update

Well, to be totally honest, I have been side tracked a good part of the week and have not had too much time to proceed with the course, and give My Internet Payday Review. However, I did finish Joel Comm's AdSense 4 Book and that was very helpful. However, some of the concepts wont come into play for a few weeks on my sites.

I have not started Week 3 training yet, because I want to be caught up and ready to do it. I am hoping to get started tonight after my daughter goes to bed (life of a parent!)

ADSENSE UPDATE: Here are my full stats, since I started up through 5pm today:

2,344 - Impressions
8 - Clicks
$4.89 - Revenue

I find this very good! I have had quite a few impressions, but my clicks suck. However, this is something I can work on improving as I progress through the program. What I do like, and I learned more about in Joel's book, is the revenue difference in certain ads. Some ads I was only paid a few cents on, and there was one ad that I was paid $1.36 on.

I will be doing more research and trying to figure out how to increase my clicks!

I am happy thus far, as I didn't expect to become a millionaire (overnight anyways).

My Video Feed update is only up to $.24 since start. So, I will not focus on those video ads as much, but still keep them around.

Day 13 - My Internet Payday Review Update

Well, going into Sunday, I have made a total of $.02 from Google! Two cents down, many to go!

I also found a video ad website called http://www.thenewsroom.com/. This site has made me $.10 so far. It works much like google AdSense, but plays videos once people find the page. If visitors watch the entire ad, I get paid (much like a click).

I have a feeling that this work from home business program will soon start implementing other sources of advertising. So, maybe I am jumping ahead.

To be completely fair in this My Internet Payday Review, I have not started to really dig down with SEO. So, hopefully in the next week or 2, we get rolling in Traffic Generation.

I am finishing up on Joel Comm's AdSense 4, 230pg E-book. This is part of week 2's homework. Pretty interesting book thus far.
