Sounds like a wonderful success story. Thanks for sharing.

Thats all it takes is alot of persistence and a willpower. IM is a marathon not a sprint. Now shoot for $300 a day.

Man, am I glad I did. After 3 years reading, trying and failing I have finally created a small portfolio of sites pulling in approx. $100 per day. I say approx, every day is different and I had a rare $40 day yest but that seems to be a one off! (I hope!).

Anyway, I have joined purely to say thanks to the people who for some reason, feel a great need to help others who are struggling. People on this forum genuinely want to see others succeed, I have never come across a place like it. From the bottom of my heart guys, thankyou.

Sorry for the long post - I do have a question. Now that I am making reasonable money and feel I could really go places in this crazy business - when would you guys consider packing up the day job?

Thanks again guys,

Mike.

PS If you have any tips or questions about affiliate marketing (esppecially using the conduit method) PLEASE ASK - its the least I can do.
:-)

Congratulations It's always good when you see sales happen at your clickbank site. Pack up your day job as soon as possible.

Great work! Always nice to read about success stories and thanks for giving away some quality information!

[Canduit]

Thanks for the kind word guys and I hope this thread has inspired some of you to get going with this. Actually, whilst im here...

For the people who have contacted me asking if it is really possible or did I just get lucky or do I know some secret. Come off it, I know the basics and have mastered the basics, the basics are what work now and what will work for many years to come. The stupid thing is most of the people who have contacted me know exactly what to do (although they may not realize it) its they are just to scared to do anything. I know, I have been there. You are too scared to put your heart and soul into a project without knowing it will be a winner. This is the risk you will have to take BUT I would prefer to try and fail than wonder.

I guess the bottom line is - this is not a get rich quick scheme, it requires hard work and dedication, those who arent willing to commit like this wont make all the money.

Great job. Since this is essentially a review site with aff. links, how can you give them a reveiw unless you have used all of the products on your site? How do you overcome this?
thank you.

[michelle0804]

I'm glad to hear another success story here.It's amazingly good to work hard and don't give up even the start is not great.Congratulations and i'm hoping for more success to you and to other warriors.

thank you.

Good question and im glad you asked that. My first site was very much a reworded version of some other sites within my niche. They reviewed the products (or so they said they did) and I simply reworded it.

As an online marketer, you kind of have to some things with a pinch of salt. Some marketers are comfortable with providing false reviews without testing the product, I myself dont like too.

So what do I do, I hear you bellow!? I simply create info pages. The products arent reviewed in the typical sense. I get product information straight from the manufacturers site and put my own twist, spin or opinion on it. I mean, people in buyer mode will read pretty much anything to do with a product they are going to buy, you just have to know how to reach them.

Mike

[Cassie18]

Congratulations, Mike. Your post was an inspiration to me. I am hoping to make a living online and have far to go. Joined this forum in June and have learned quite a bit.

Good luck to you in the future.

[Canduit]

Gettin swamped with PMs about how to go about this so ill save you some time -

1) Pick a niche which has ALOT of competition. Competition means products are selling and there are active buyers in the market.

2) Pick the 3 products you will recommend - Good sales pages and make sure they provide a solution to the problem within your niche.

3) Do a little bit of keyword research, pick a search term which gets a decent amount of searches per month with medium amount of competition, preferably a KW which has intent. Also grab a quick list of some secondary keywords which also get a decent amount of searches which you can include in your copy. Lastly grab about ten longtail keywords. Dont spend ages doing this, it should take 20 mins. I use Googles KW tool (used to use Wordtracker but im sure their figures are way out). Also research as many products within your niche as possible.

4) Go to your most favourite host and register your domain containing the main KW. If the KW is not availaible stick something on the end - bestforexrobot.com or bestforexrobotinfo.com If .com is not there, go for .org I stay away from .info they dont work (for me anyhow)

5) Use your site builder to stick a nice looking authoritive site together, I use XSPro 2 and it rocks. I am moving over to Dreamweaver now just because I want more dynamic sites in the future.

6) This is the most time consuming and feel free to outsource. I write all my own copy, I just like knowing its done right. Write the copy for the homepage including the main kw and some secondary keywords. Write reviews of as many of the products you researched as you can, i tend to hit 20. Write your longtails and then whack it all on site.
NB - Remember to submit your site to the engines when youve written the front page.

7) Put plasters on fingers and hope they dont fall off from typing for 86 hours straight.

8) Backlinks. Do these over a few months. Article marketing (about 2 or three per day), guest blog posts, forum posts, buy links (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh), directories (dont waste time doing this, pay someone $20, theyll happily submit to like 2000 sites for that). Remember to continue to link build, dont give it a quick blast and then give up. You need to keep at it until you get the visitors.

9) Cash the cheques OR analyze the reasons your not cashing the cheques -

- Do you have enough links going to your sites?
- Are there enough buyers in the market?
- Are your products really good? (if not change them, not a problem)
- Is your copy authoritive but not too pushy, your not selling them you are reviewing them.

If everything seems in order, lemme see the site id love to know why its not making money!

Sorry if theres a few typos, im tired. Any questions please ask, but just go do it and see what happens :-))

thanks for passin on your advice.
lewi

Depends what type of traffic it is and what you want them to do. 1000 non-targeted visitors would be pretty useless to me. Yet 1000 targeted visitors, IE visitors with their credit cards in hand looking to dam well buy an answer to their problem would certainly suit me and is quite enough to make you some good money.

Mike

The only ways to get rich quick are to win the lotto, or sell a get rich quick scheme.

[abelacts]

Another proof that action speaks louder than words. Plus failing forward is the way to go. I personally love conduit site as it's not hypey and only facts are presented.

Basically, Mike has shared what needs to be done here and if you want to learn more you can get a copy of Chris's report (dirt cheap). The only thing left is action.

[Emmanuel Betinis]

Mike,

earlier it was asked how many sites you currently
have. Your reply to that was "too many".

I know how that goes!

If you were to say a rough guestimate
of how many are bringing in cash, what would
that be?

3 sites?
6 sites?
10 sites?
50 sites?
100,000 sites?

[action1007]

Thanks for the uplift Canduit.
I was curious if you used the blog software that Chris includes with his Conduit method.
Thanks

[abelacts]

I have one question: what kind of keywords do you use for backlinking for inner pages (review pages)? Are they something like "widget review"? Or do you just link to your home page as far as backlinking is concerned?

[liza31n]

I'm glad to hear a warrior's success.You succeed because you work hard for it.It will not be possible if you didn't give your best.Congratulations and keep going.

I have in the region of 30, they all make a little bit of money but I have 3 real performers. Having 30 is mainly the result of jumping from one system to the next, be it adsense, PPC, aff marketing...

Picking ONE site and applying all your energy to it is the only way to go, its such a stupid mistake when I look back. I am starting to outsource as the money comes in and this will allow me to enter more markets quicker, something that I feel I needed to learn slowly. Walk before you can run and all that!...

I use XSPro and design my own sites, to be honest I dont like Chris' templates (sorry Chris). Remember though that although I dont like them and have found a site layout that works for me, the templates are designed for effectiveness. If you are uncomfortable with creating layouts and linking internally etc, they are brill and do the job. Perhaps start with them and when you feel confident enough to progress, go ahead!

Whatever you use it all boils down to the same thing, content and links - and lots of them.

Hi Abel,

I do have a quick look for specific product KWs but there is hardly ever any long tails worth targeting so I do just go for "product review". I might throw some long tails in the copy but I dont really get caught up with it too much to be honest. If your talking about a specific product then chances are you will cover hundreds of KW variations without even realizing it. One thing to remember is that most of your traffic will come from variations of the KWs you pick anyway (and these are the best converting ones in my experience too).

I do however spend time building deep links to these pages and feel this is important to not just getting these pages ranked, but also getting all the other pages ranked (especially the HP).

Hope this helps,

Mike

[rlpruitt]

Congratulations Canduit!

And, thanks for all the good info.

No problem. This affiliate marketing lark is not hard, its just work and this filters out a lot of the get rich quick crowd. If anyone out there is in two minds just do it man!!!!

Another little word of advice - too much time on forums and opening emails and checking stats can SERIOUSLY hinder progress. I had to completely switch off from forums and decided to only check my stats once per week...

Mike

Isn't it amazing how checking your stats ten times
per day doesn't really make you any money?!

[alice1202]

My question is if you already have an authority site that is ranking and is several years old, could you make some conduit sites subdomains of it?

As long as you keep your conduit sites in the same niche, you're simply adding some subdomains with different products related to your authority site, right?

Would that work, because it looks like the conduits could get google juice from your main site.

[cowy]

Hi Canduit,
I just joining war room and now inspired to make conduit sites. I have two conduit sites now, but I am using wordpress with WPreviewEngine. I think it's cheaper than I have to buy xsitepro and it's powerfull too.

It's just set for a week, let's see if I will make sales.

Btw Canduit, how many Conduit sites do you have?

[Canduit]

Hi Guys,

Sorry if I havent replied to your PMs, ive gotten hundreds in the last few days. Ill keep chipping away at them!

Mike

[Nspire]

Mike, Your success have inspired me. thanks for sharing so freely.

Alice,

You could do but I would much rather create a seperate property in case you come to sell. Also, you might want to operate in a different niche. By all means try it though, it isnt something I would do.

Mike

[wisecrone333]

I just wanted to pop in and say WOW and thanks for sharing your story - I made my very first affiliate sale the other day - the grand sum of $10 from almost three months of work - but I am not disheartened - in fact you should have seen me jumping around the lounge after i got the notification - it is your story and others like it that keep me focused because I am like the little engine that could - and I do think I can, I think I can

Well done
Lisa

[Karamazov]

Hi Canduit,
Thanks for the share! As far as I understand the real work is the promoting.

Would you tell which affiliate networks are you working with as I am searching for good ones that pay via paypal.

Hi Mike,

Congrats to your success!!

I totally agree with your "you will cover hundreds of KW variations without even realizing it". This is particularly true. I have pages rank for some funny terms that combines together.

Cheers.

There's a bunch of Warriors that would love to make $100 per day here - and by showing them your system through a WSO - you'll gain even more success.

Steve

I would buy it!

Thanks for this thread. It's very inspiring. I'm not totally to IM, but I feel like I'm in limbo. I'm making a sale every now and then but nothing spectacular, and I'm disorganized and horrible with time management so I feel like I never get anything done.

You are absolutely right. I think you've described me pretty well.

Instead of taking action, I'm always reading forums & blogs, looking at new products & services, trying to find the "secret" that will turn a lightbulb on in my head and I'll go "Eureka! So that's how you make money!"

The thing is, though, I already know how to make money. I know which methods & strategies work. I've used them. I have access to a lot of great resources that tell me exactly how to implement them. I know what to do, I just need to do it.

But it's like there's some kind of mental block. Maybe it's laziness, or fear of success, or a combination of both. But I need to get over it.

P.S... if I were making the kind of money you are now, I would leave my job in a heartbeat.

[Eric Transue]

Hi Mike, excellent post! I am doing something similar to this but have yet to see the success you are having. I'm sure it will be soon.

A couple questions. Forgive me if they were already answered.

1. Is every post you write a review of a product? Or are some of the long term keyword posts, general questions in the niche that you are writing about to bring in traffic and then drive them to your review posts?

2. Also do you only review each product once? Or do you have several posts reviewing the same product but optimized for different keywords?

Thanks for your time,
Eric

[Rueann42]

Will someone please tell me what the "Conduit" method of marketing is?

[Canduit]

Hi Guys,

Again, just a quick note on PMs - I getting through them as fast as I can. Sorry if I havent got to you yet! I want to stay on track with my goals so my times precious.

Due to the sheer volume of requests, ill throw up a quick e-book and some videos to explain EXACTLY how to get to the $100 a day mark. Included will be templates, highly converting products to go after, my KW strategy, marketing techniques etc and I will spend a lot more time with the buyers answering questions, seems like a fair thing to do.

Let me know if your interested - Honestly though guys, you know what to do. Good content and lots of links - it just takes a little work.

[Canduit]

Well done, we all have to start somewhere. If you can make $10, just repeat whatever you did over and over again.

Nothing converts into sales better than research traffic (IMO) its like fishing with dynamite. Lets say I had a site geared around fishing rods, I would write reviews about EVERY rod in the market. On the review page I promote the product I am selling. I pick out long tails that I think will convert well.

2. Also do you only review each product once? Or do you have several posts reviewing the same product but optimized for different keywords?

Good question. My strategy now focuses on single review pages. If theres a really good keyword I go out and buy the domain and compete with myself.

Hope this makes sense, im soooo tired, been at it all day!

Thanks for your time,

The conduit method was coined by Chris Rempel. It involves "intercepting" buyers by feeding them qualifying content and its making me a tidy little fortune right now.

Regarding the above quote. I would be very interested.

By the way, did you have a good time in Cornwall? - I hope so 'cos that's where I'm from!

Hi Mike

Congratulations for perservering. The $100 a day is not too shabby. Is that for one site or the combination of your site?

[RAJ Wells]

sorry for such a basic question
