My quest to reach 30k a year in IM - From the ground up

Where are the updates, yo!?

Fun story and best of luck!


Hey, I've got a follower! :)

Ok, gentlemen, I've been doing a shit load of work. That's why I haven't had time to post on this thread. So, you all are probably wondering what I've been up to. Well, today, I got another conversion. After 32 clicks on Google, I've finally got one damn measly dollar conversion. It's better than nothing :). Anyways, I've had a lot of learning experiences with PPC already. Here's where I'm at.

Domains Purchased:7

Google Adwords Campaign Spend: $1.87 (Awesome CTR btw). I found a keyword that nobody, I mean nobody was bidding on. I setup this keyword and set it at a 5 cent bid. I started watching the traffic roll in @ about 6 %. I couldn't believe it. Anyways, I was getting a lot of clicks just no conversions. The next couple days would you believe Google decided that keyword was now going to be a 20 cent bid for the top 3! I could not figure that one out... My quality score is about 6 or 7 for that keyword as well.


I've been having tough luck on Facebook...I can't seem to pull anymore conversions on there. I tried a couple of different things and they kept denying my ads. So I decided to move on to Google. I do still have 45 dollars left in advertising money on Facebook. I used FB as a testing ground and moved things over to Google. If anybody can suggest anything on the PPC stuff I'm open. I'll even take suggestions on where to advertise. I've heard Bing converts better.

Anyways, I've been trying to think of a long term money solution instead of trying my luck with a bunch of email / zip submits that aren't working for me. IS there really anybody make that much money with those?

I plan on getting my other two niches up there on organic searches. I plan on doing massive amounts of links building. I'll also be doing a little content writing in the buy / sell section. If any of you want a writer from the USA let me know. I plan on giving out 2 review copies so be sure to check it out. I need to get some extra funding in :).
 


ure doin work son. Thats worth it. Im getting goin with seo
after a helluva spending/party spree that got out of control.

Oh fucking well.

You using email opt-in yet?

No, I don't have an opt in. I've heard this does pretty good though. But I don't think it would be good for email / zip submits :P.
 
Ok, I'm not going to keep track of each individual day I do shit. So here's my new thing. I'm going to tell you what the fuck I did periodically. Hopefully my information will give other noobs strength and determination to launch their campaigns. I find most people just read shit all day long without trying. If you're one of those people, I don't think this is for you.

Anyways, I've tried my luck on Google and Facebook. I'm starting to move out of some zip/email submits and on to something a little more solid. I've got a nice new niche that isn't very competitive right now. I'm trying to score some extra dough here, so if anybody needs any content written for them, please see me in the Buy/ Sell section :).

Right now I'm waiting for a landing page to be created for one of my projects. While I could probably do this myself, I find it easier to outsource the work so I can concentrate on other areas. So within the next week or so, I should have a nice new landing page with some awesome content on it. I will keep you all posted how I'm going to be advertising this new one.

I'm going to be doing a mixture of PPC and organic to this new project. I purchased the domain not to long ago and Google is already ranking me on the first page for my keyword :). So it shouldn't be very difficult to get some organic traffic out of this deal.
 
Good Luck. Here's some steps that might help you:

1. Rebills
2. Generic fake news page
3. adwords it 'til you get banned

These 3 steps will make you $100k/month easily. Thank me later by paying me 50% for my expertise.
