Why *basically* making $10.000/month should be easy...

23 replies
10k/month is roughly 400/day.

If you sell a product as affiliate, you only need to sell 10 $40 products/day.

Ok, let's scour clickbank and search for some products, not the $20/sale products. $40/sale, better... oh...there are some products which sell for $80-$90 commission. Makes 4.4 sales a day to reach our $10k/month Goal. We round up to 5.

You need 5 Sales a $90/day to make $10k month.

5 sales equals 5x70 = 350 clicks. (Remember: 70 clicks/1 Sale)

On content network i pay on avg. 0.11c per click, makes a daily budget of 38.5. Also, let's round up here, lets use $40/daily content network budget, maybe $50. Which makes roughly $1100-$1400 spending on Ads.

If CTR rate and conversion rate STAYS 70+/- clicks --> 1 sale...then this should work.

Just wondering..


So...now we just need to find the right way to GET there, that is, good keywords, LOW competition niche, good product. Try and error, but ultimately it should be a piece of cake, kind of...

    Just wonderin'... In your 70 clicks => 1 sale, are you using PPC ads to send people straight to clickbank, or via your own landing page?

      I sent people directly to the Clickbank sales page when I used Adwords my first time. I purchased an attractive, catchy & easy-to-read domain from Godaddy, set up Domain Forwarding & Masking on it and had it forward to my Clickbank HOPLINK. I then used this domain name in the "Display URL" and "Destination URL" of the Adwords ad.

      At the risk of sounding ignorant/unprofessional, I did not make ONE single sale after THOUSANDS of clicks. The keywords were extremely related to the product I was selling. However, I obviously made a big mistake here. Finding out that mistake is what I need to learn. That way, the next time I actually use Adwords I'll be a little more "savvy" with it (being it was my first time really using Adwords & I pre-maturely "jumped" into it like most ignorant & impatient IM'ers do).

      Luckily, I didn't lose much. But it was CERTAINLY enough to stir up a fire under my butt in order to make sure I do it right the next time.

      Lesson: Don't jump into Adwords until you are CERTAIN of how the ropes work.


      P.S. George, how did you come to "70 clicks" as a benchmark for making a sale? Just curious.

        He didn't. It's a "all you have to do" and/or "what if" topic.

        Notice he used worlds like "wondering" and "if".

          nope,

          the 70 are a pretty close number based on observation.

        Probably from the estimated conversion on clickbank

    Interesting, George!

    I always heard conversions range SO vastly (depending on product $$$, clientele, niche market, demographics, air temperature, alignment of sun to pluto, etc.)

    Then again, I'm CERTAINLY no pro and I'm sure you know much more than I do about that (I have TONS more learning to do and highly value many others' opinions here before mine).

    Hey George,

    You made it sound so easy man.. But I feel that it is achievable if you know what you are doing because there a lot components involved.

    1. The type of product that you promote

    2. The keywords that you target

    3. How good is your ad in Adwords (CTR and so on..)

    4. Your landing page (conversion etc..)

    5. The product's salesletter ( does it covert?)

    6. Relevancy between keywords, ads and landing page. (to get a low cost per click) Unless you are using the content network, relevancy is not an important factor.

    Did I miss anything out? I hope not.. Just sharing my opinions!

    If it was a piece of cake you would have already done it.

    It's great to dream but the thing is, it takes a lot of trial and error to get to the point where you're making that kind of cash.

    Sounds like a great plan/dream/goal - if I've learned anything its that if you set a high goal - then you'll get closer to it than you would if you set no goal at all.

    So put it in action & let us know how you go.

    If I can add a little bit here - a couple of months ago I got a copy of Double Digit CTR by James Schramko.

    I created a halloween website (3 days before Halloween!) I ran a PPC campaign using the step by step techniques in Double Digit CTR and a bit of extra help from James. I was getting up to 25% CTR.

    It was so enjoyable to actually have a successful PPC campaign - I really REALLY recommend Double Digit CTR.

    I think Mudmat is right, it sounds easier than it is. The content network is different from the search network. Hole different game as I know...I think PPC is most about trail and error....everything must work perfectly, keyword --> ad --> landing page

      Absolutely! Thats the reason I recommend Double Digit CTR - it addresses all of this & shows you exactly what to do for each of these factors - how to optimise your ads properly.

      I know I sound like an ad - but it really is great - you'll also notice I'm not promoting an affiliate link.

    It's not that hard.

    Build something that makes $30/day

    and make 99 more of them.

      But this calculation is basically wrong, because from 100 websites you'd make $90Kper month...

      Of course that is not really that difficult.

    double digit CTR rocks!! Best PPC course hands down!

    Add: I will go through this again, especially in regards to content network.

    But i think it should NOT be impossible to get a 70:1 rate after some trial/error, talking about content network. On search and with a really WELL tweaked campaign 70:1 is definitly not "far out"...but it would need a LOT of research and an excellent low comp niche to get clicks that low priced.

    HOWEVER - even if you would spend $5k/month on adwords and make 10k, its still 5k profit

    I agree with the 1-70 click ratio, I usually see about a 1-2% conversion based on traffic. Question is, how to increase that ratio? (I.e., so maybe a 5-10% conversion ratio?) OR -- how to get more traffic? (Actually my understanding is that a 1% conversion ratio, i.e., 1 in 100 will make a purchase, is pretty standard, and/or you are considered to be doing well...)

      The theory is lovely but realistically there are many other factors to consider. A high priced item has a much lower conversion rate than a low priced item.

      To be able to get a conversion rate on a high ticket product of 70:1 in PPC, you would need some really targeted keywords. In other words, your keywords would really need to target people with credit cards in hand slavering over their keyboards as they seek out the actual product you are promoting.

      The only way to know those keywords is by trial and error, i.e. chucking a load of money at PPC, tracking all the way to conversion using xtreme conversions or something and then removing the keywords that don't convert. However, there is no guarantee that the product will convert and so you could quite easily get burned trying.

      I guess as always it is risk v reward, start with a budget that you don't mind losing and track everything. If you find some magic keywords that convert, create a minisite and get it indexed and ranked for those keywords for some free traffic.

    There is no set way of doing it. People always say get a site that makes $10 a day, then get 100 more of them.
    This is bull and doesnt work. FInd me proof of anyone who has done it.
    To make 10,000 a month you need to work your ass off
