JUST MADE MY FIRST $$$$!!!!!!!!!

14 years ago

You are very very welcome and this is precisely what keeps me motivated to help others.

THAT FIRST DOLLAR IS THE HARDEST YET MOST REWARDING DOLLAR YOU WILL MAKE ONLINE!

Hopefully this forum can help motivate you to ramp it up, just like you said.

1. Whatever you did, if its possible to replicate, DO IT. This is how I first started seeing bigger numbers. 100 things that each make a measly $3 per day is $300 per day or over 100k per year. Power of numbers!

2. If possible, try to ramp up yoru current campaign. More traffic sources, more keywords, etc.

3. Optimize yoru campaign/strategy. Milk $4 per day out of each of those campaigns instead of $3 per day.

awesome stuff!!

Thanks

Ya, keep going and don't rest on your laurels!

You really have to keep at it to make money in cpa or any internet marketing. Try to focus on one thing and make it work 10 or 100 times over and see it if you can streamline it so it takes less time or automate it. Then, you can move on to something else.

Good luck!

Thanks

And yes, this is the great paradox of CPA marketing.

You always read threads where people say the key is staying focused. Then you read other threads where people say you need to diversify your traffic to create a sustainable business. I have said both many times. It seems like a paradox, but I think you nailed it on the head.

When you FIRST START you really need to stay focused because jumping around wont get you anywhere. Once you start becoming good at a few methods, ONLY THEN should you start to really diversify your CPA portfolio. In my opinion this is a key point many people miss. FOCUS at first, THEN diversify.

Well done honestbiz!

Thanks

Hey honestbizpro, good one...I been there before, keep distracted from staying focus when those wso keep coming into my mind. I thought I will make even more money when i absorb all the information as much as i can. But i was wrong...

Focus is the key!

Thanks

I still remember the first time I earned something! It was on a website that pays you to write research. I had spend a week to write the essay and got 20$ or something now I think I was stupid to accept such offer

but back then it did mean a lot to me.

Congratulations and keep following your dreams.

I used offline advertising, but used my noggin a bit and got national (UK) targeted exposure within the first hour.. The first campaign is just targeting th uk so I thought i'd use it to learn the ropes.

I've increased it a bit today and i'm gonna build on it for about a week then move on to the next project.

If i'm successful with it I'll definately share my methods.

Nice, if your method is easily saturated, be careful about sharing too much. Ive had that happen and you end up shooting yourself in the foot

. If not, then def share with us! Thats what is great about this forum.

And FYI, you can press the MULTIQUOTE button on all the posts you want to reply to and the last one just press QUOTE and all the quotes will show up in one post box!!

Well i set the campaign up and within an hour i'd made some commission,

So last night i built on my advertising and now i'm gonna set up a blog with some ace keywords i've sniffed out and autoblog it.

All this time i've spent overloading and just reading information is paying off now!!

I must admit honest Biz, that I am indeed hooked now.. Its consuming my every waking moment and I think my mind has shifted into sizing up everything as an opportunity.

Like Ken said earlier, I'm gonna focus all my efforts on one campaign then move on, I have lots of ideas, its like they've all just come at once and its all clicked

Needless to say I'm very happy, but I'm aware that this is where the learning curve gets steeper

Thanks for the support it means a great deal to me.... Its difficult to get support from family and friends cause their eyes glaze over when I start to talk to them about it

I've got a sneaky feeling they'll listen when the money starts to rolls in though! lol

Thanks

HAHAHA Most of us have been there when we started...refreshing the commission screen a hundred times a day and screaming for joy everytime we made a commission and getting pissed when we got more clicks and no conversions

I literally used to refresh 200 times a day haha

I just wanted to call out the KenSter- KenSTAR cause every time I am on here he is giving great advice or someone is thanking him for taking the time or someone is saying he is the reason they finally made some money.

That's just awesome dawg and you should be acknowledged. We should have a contest or something for the successful warriors that give back the most and give them a prize.

When you aren't in an office with people to pep talk you and no one in your family understands what you are trying to do it's people like him that make me feel comfortable enough to post questions on the WF.

Hats off to ya

Thank you very much, you just made my night...heck, you just made my weekend, which was already shaping up to be a great one!!!

I remember first discovering this forum and getting help from many Warriors...I was one of those persistent newbs looking to soak up as much info as possible and I got a lot of help from other Warriors here. In fact I owe a lot of my success to Warriors because I may not have stuck with this long enough to become successful without their encouragement.

I told myself, if I ever figure this darn thing out, I am making a promise that I won't disappear and reap all the rewards without giving back.

But I am very grateful for comments like this.

My goal is to get people to stick with CPA long enough to get over those first few hurdles. Thats where most people who start CPA drop out, but they fail to realize that it gets easier. Things start to click and make sense and then its just riding the wave!

Thanks

Dude, that's a great idea, I wish I thought of that. Every now and then I get a random clickbank check for like $5-$25 from some campaign that I set up a long time ago (have not a clue where the traffic is coming from) but I will do the same and pretend it was my first check!!! :p

As motivation, I still have my initial goals hanging on the back of my door and on my desk from the first day I started with CPA.

Soft factors like motivation and determination are key in this business
