Wanting to Share Newbie Success

I am always asking questions here and everyone has been so helpful. Since I have had a little bit of success, I thought I might share. Please note that last November was the first time I ever heard of IM.

About seven months ago I came across IM while searching for ways to make extra money. It seemed like something that would be impossible considering I only used the computer for basic email.

How much I have earned so far:
  • $680 from clickbank affiliate sales
  • $180 from fiverr
What steps I took:
  1. Found an ebook on clickbank in a niche that I am VERY familiar and passionate about. (To me the passionate part is the most important.)
  2. Started a blogger blog (then quickly moved over to wordpress on my own domain). Listen to everyone here, and go straight for your own site! Then wrote a review of the product, have many links pointing to the review page and many pointing straight to the clickbank site.
  3. Wrote some articles and submitted to ezine, goarticles, and articlesbase. (Article writing has been the least productive thing I have done, but I know that it is very helpful for many.)
  4. Found two popular forums that allow signature links and began posting. One of these forums I was already a member of. This has been the most productive thing I have done. Most of my time spent on the site, is me posting links on forums.
  5. Post keyword specific quality post atleast once a week.
  6. Leave links on blogs in my niche and on some high PR blogs. I get some traffic for this, but am really doing it to help build links to my site.
That is basically it. I know I have not made millions or anything, but I think it is a start. Thought it could possibly help motivate some newbies. Good luck to everyone! Any advice is also appreciated!

      This is GREAT news to hear! I literally just found out about IM and even the WF about 2-3 weeks ago. I'm literally brand new to all of this and am really working to try and narrow my focus and get started! I'm still searching for a mentor (as I keep being told that I'll need to spend $500 to do so) but will gladly continue searching until I find someone who is simply passionate about what they do and excited about sharing information. The WF though is a BIG help...can get distracting too!

    Great job so far!

    That's most than most people will EVER earn- even after spending a year or more "trying this IM thing"

    I definitely recommend forum marketing these days because the traffic is so targeted

        Hi brit, it's encouraging to read about your success. I've been at this for two months and have taken NO action.

        Well, I take that back. I've almost started my business three different times (different businesses each time!) and not followed through.

        However, I just started a great coaching program this last Saturday and by Monday my mindset was changed. I will earn my first $$$ this Sunday and have increasing goals set through the end of the year.

        While I'm certainly no expert at this game, I would like to throw a couple suggestions your way:

        1. Do you maintain a mailing list? If not, you are missing a great opportunity. You can send out useful information each week to your list, and, of course, incorporate my next suggestion...

        2. Find additional, related products you can offer to your list. Be certain they are quality products. Add reviews of some of them to your blog and promote them in your mailings.

        3. Start a separate website in a different niche. Repeat your success.

        Thanks for sharing you story!
        John

      I couldn't agree more Justin. Forum marketing can also make a great place to network and joint venture just as well as for promotional purposes.

      I do keyword research for post that I would like to rank in the search engines. Some of my post are more just sharing with the readers. Most of the keywords are on the first or second page of Google. I don't know much about seo. Good luck to you.

    Congratulations, that's awesome!!

    Keep doing what you know works, replicate it and scale it up.

    If you have the funds, I would say outsource the tasks you don't want to do or aren't very good at.

    I wish you great success in your endeavors!

    All the best,
    Demian

    Congratulations!

    It's a very good start!

    In this business you're free to choose your own niche, choose your own methods, and go at your own pace. I'd say you're doing fine on all three!

    Read a lot, learn as much as you can, develop your skills, and stretch yourself occasionally with a real challenge.

    At some point you need to think about creating your own products. Not only can you keep 100% of the profits, they'll undoubtedly sell better because you can tailor them to your niche(s)!
