OMG $204.10 so far today, so excited! :)

23 replies
Guys, I just saw $204.10 hit my clickbank account in a few short hours!

I'm so excited I just had to share it with you

But there's more to the story. It's not $204.1 profit.
See, I actually spent $200 on traffic..
but I have a lot more traffic to come
and I'm building my list in the process
so we'll see how it goes
and analyze results after all the dust settles,

I can't share much more details with you for now
but don't worry I'll write another free case study report
(even better than my first one) on what I did and how I did it
after the whole campaign ends

Again, I'm not writing this to brag but to inspire you and show you that
making money online IS possible

you just have to try stuff, and implement all the courses you already have
Give your best to apply your knowledge and you'll see results!
Don't be afraid to try something and fail
if your first attempt fails so what? Who cares, no one has to know except you ))
My first campaign failed miserably. I just learned from it made some changes
And my second campaign works.

Also don't be afraid to spend money on traffic instead of courses

peace!

p.s. my goal with this campaign was to at least break even while building my list
and I'm so excited to see that happen in such a short amount of time.
Even though I've only made $4 profit (till now) it's still exciting..
to see this stuff (I've been learning) actually works.

(Plus I've also added 62 new subscribers to my list till now)

Ok that's all, love ya!

    Very cool, well done!!

    Hopefully even more traffic to come in - and more profit!
    But even if that's all - a nice cheap way to build up your list..

    Good luck with it all!

    Thanks for sharing!

    People often don't realize the benefits of paid traffic... it all comes down to testing and tracking, and if you can get your page converting at a rate that you break even (even better, profit!) while building a list... you're golden!

    That being said, don't just jump on the paid traffic bandwagon without doing proper research! It's often best to test with free traffic first, to give yourself an idea of your conversion rate, then head on over to the paid traffic.

    Once again, thanks for sharing... and congratulations with your success!

    Cheers,
    Carney

    As long as you're building your list, that will make you way more than the $200. Hope you make more with the rest of the traffic, but even if not and you only broke even it is well worth it to build a list for free.

    Nice job!

    Yes, I've actually received just about 1/3th of the traffic plus I haven't done any email promotions yet. So I really expect to be much more profitable in the end but we'll see..

    Of course Tonybuk don't worry I'll hook you up you just have to stay patient

    Yes, that was my goal.
    This was my little paid traffic experiment and I would've been happy to just break even and build my list in the process. But of course I prefer to make more money because it will make for a better title for my report haha.

    How I made $xxx dollars in 7 days sounds much better than how I broke even lol

      Please do remember, refunds are common with clickbank, you could lose half of that in no time.

      Try and cut down your spends as much as possible to increase the profit.

        So true, Owen - I have heard that refunds on certain IM Clickbank products have reached 40% and up! That's a significant chunk of your profit if that's the case.

          High cost products end up with 60% and more refunds, its too easy to get your money back, why would they pay for something that could be free?

            Owen, hopefully this experience will teach the so called "product" creators not to put out any more trashy junk, with a refund rate that high I wonder if Clickbank will even accept another new product from them?

              As logn as clickbank are still profiting on fees they are not bothered, they do not generally suspend or terminate accounts.

              Clickbank is a scamming ground, tons of rehash in there. If you have a low price product, you wont get a high refund rate, even if it is trash.

                I think the opposite is also true,
                if you have a high quality product you won't get a lot of refunds even if the price is high.

                And I have this rule to only promote products I believe in.
                There's no point promoting a product that sux,
                and losing the trust with my subscribers.

                I know I have to treat them right so I do.

                  I am just trying to pre-warn you. No matter how high quality the product is, you will get a high refund rate through clickbank, it has always been the case. Unless you are selling niche clickbank products, like fat loss etc. As IMers know they can get a refund, your average Joe, will not bother.

                        Exactly!

                        @ncmedia yeah I may've been a little bit over excited but I'm not fluffing anyonone man
                        I'm just sharing my personal results because I know some people will find value in that.
                        And all the comments in this thread prove that.

                        What's exciting is if this stuff works and I make even a little bit of profit at the end of the campaign I'll have a system in place for building my list for free which is enough for me, because I know I can make a lot more money on the back-end. Also the campaign will run for a few days and I made my money back in the first few hours. (yes I didn't take the refunds into account)

                        It's not my first money online but it's my first money that comes from my list.
                        I hope you understand.. well that's all and it's enough for me to get excited.

                        Obviously you're not a beginner but there are lots of people in here
                        who are just getting started and I'm sure they would love to hear
                        how someone like them is doing.. Anyway..

                        I'm glad to see there are people like chrisscott that appreciate and find value in my thread. If you don't, that's fine

            Yeah, it's a shame people aren't more honest but this is something all of us need to be aware of!

    Congratulations, Ivelin, you took action and are finally making some headway. With paid advertising, there's a lot of testing and tracking involved in order to come up with a profitable campaign, so I hope you test everything (can't really say much more because you don't mention how you are advertising!) and optimize your campaign.

    I hope you treat your list like gold, as they will bring you the long-term profits. Since you've already broken even, I think you'll do okay...at least for today! My advice is to test and track your campaign continutally so that you can optimize it as best as you can, since this is what will allow you to squeeze more profits out of it!

    Yeaah, you're all right guys.

    Thanks for your advice.

    I did my research, I choose a great product to promote, I crafted my campaign carefully
    and I'm tracking it, but I could've done a little bit better on some stuff,
    for example I'm not split testing anything right now.
    but I just wanted to get it going quickly

    because I know that I can either tweak stuff for ages and not launch the campaign
    or I can do it not so perfect but at least get it going and see results quicker
    And then I can adjust later.

    I'm not promoting some auto mass traffic bot or something
    the product I promote is actually pretty good so hopefully
    there won't be many refunds but we'll see..
    I know some people are serial refunders
