) along with Chad's. What seems so basic now was a lot to swallow just four short months ago. Thanks again and happy New Year!

@harro1: I can't believe this post hit 4 pages

! I guess the moral of the story is Warrior Forum posts that say you made money do well

.

I tried to scale it, but didn't manage to break $200/day. For various reasons including banner blindness I'm not running this campaign now.

My primary goal now is sustainability (which as you point out is critical). $50 to $100 a day on a daily basis for the long term is what I'm focused on. I'll take more if I can get it, of course.

Part of my "new" strategy is to focus on a market and the people as opposed to making a quick buck however I can, on whatever offer is converting at the moment. That way I can cater to their needs on a longer term basis. At the moment this is working very well for me but I haven't broken $200/day yet. I still need to gather some more data before taking it to the next level.

This is just my thought process as of right now. If it does work, then there's nothing stopping me from scaling it by a factor of 10 or more. But first I need a solid building block I can scale. I think I'm to the point I could make a lot more in a single day but as you point out, that doesn't get you very far. For now I'm still learning the basics.

I'll make a new thread or post when I have my next major breakthrough.

Cheers!

Great glad I can help!

And you are absolutely correct about sustainability. The temptation when you are new is to do anything and everything to make a quick buck.

Though this isn't ideal, it is logical and understandable. In fact, many of the people I teach, I also suggest they do some quick money making methods to make some quick money even if its nto long term driven. The reason I suggest this is for motivation. If I can get somebody making $50 a day by bumming it and then spend the rest of the day on long term strategy and building a real business, that quick cash goes a long way to motivate the person and keep them in the game long enough for their long term business to take off.

For example, a marketer who exclusively spends all their time and energy building a long term SEO campaign can easily get frustrated and quit if they work hard for 3 weeks without making a dime (SEO campaigns often take a while to get going). However, if that same person spent 2 hours of the day bumming it to make just $20 per day, they are much more motivated to keep plugging along for weeks and months to come. They are getting a taste of the light at the end of the tunnel.

So yes, sustainability and long term profit is absolutely awesome. Its the goal, but sometimes a partial short term quick cash strategy, although not ideal, can be very beneficial.

If that maeks any sense

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the insight. It's actually good to hear someone with more experience say this.

The quick cash is good and very motivational. Even if you don't need instant gratification I think it's pretty critical. Making quick cash could be viewed as the smallest building block. For me it was "proof of concept". If you can make that work then you can make it bigger and better.

Best.

EXACTLY. A huge part of this business is about staying motivated. That's what most newer marketers struggle with...they have a roller coaster of emotions and often give up when the track is at a low point. By having that quick cash steady income, it helps keep them motivated.

Go get your $100 per day...if you're not there already!

OP, how is your journey now?

ajensen · 07-24-2011, 12:50 AM

I only check in on Warrior forum now and then and saw my post was back on the charts, lol.

Best to date is about $500 in a day.

I'm actually in the process of buying a house at the moment, which has kind of screwed up my cash flow for direct response marketing. Should have that all wrapped up in early August...

Anyway, at the moment I'm developing an online business in the weight loss niche. I had been working mostly in the dating niche (on Facebook) but I think I have a pretty good business model/idea and have some experience in the area.

I'm hoping to get the site up in the next few months. I'll be focusing all my attention on that instead of one off campaigns. In the long term the site will generate revenue through a paid forum, ecommerce, list building, self serve ads, health consultations, etc. I'm sure it will take a few years to really optimize but I think it should be profitable pretty quickly, hopefully.

Maybe if it's really successful I'll even make my own front end for a CPA offer and get it on some networks

.

If you're willing to put in the work to learn how, there is definitely money to be made on the internet. Best of luck!
