Wonderful success story. After reading your story and visiting your site, I am curious as to why there is no way to see, or purchase your products?? Do you have a sales page, or product page?

irmawan · 09-07-2008, 07:06 AM

great story. hope i could follow your steps..

Hi Thomas,

My books are not about Internet Marketing, but rather self improvement and Chrisitian living. The books themselves are not what made my internet marketing experience successful. What did make it work is that I found a hungry audience and gave to them what they wanted.

The same can happen for many other niches and subjects. I found my subject by reading and staying in touch with the news. The same can work for you or others who are still looking for a subject. First find out what people are looking for -- and then give them what they want.

For example, read the covers of magazines! It used to be losing weight was on the front of every popular magazine cover. But now the big subjects seem to be budgeting, organizing tips and stretching the dollar.

I hope this helps . . . the bottom line is that the subject of my books is to a very specific niche . . . about a very specific subject and I had experience that I could share.

I hope great success for you in all aspects of your life.

Hi Shay,

I wanted to mention that the book was what turned me toward Internet Marketing, but didn't necessarily give me the strategies for being successful with writing eBooks or getting traffic to my sight. Those were eBooks I purchased from experienced Internet marketers. You can get more detail on what I used by clicking on my signature link.

I hope the very best for you! Thanks for the post.

ShayRockhold · 09-08-2008, 10:36 PM

Thank you for that clarification!

I may hold off on the book and purchase a WSO or two I have had my eye on instead.

Mike Williams · 09-08-2008, 10:47 PM

Nice story. You might've gotten a little lucky there if you didn't do keyword research. Do some keyword research next time and it'll be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Norma Holt · 09-08-2008, 11:23 PM

Susan you accomplished in days what some have never done after years of research and trying. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Amazing grace!

I added the energy and the hours of input. But I know for sure this was a sweet blessing to me.

Thanks to everyone for your nice words. I so want others to be successful in all they do, and as Internet Marketers, many of us just getting started, there are many hurdles to overcome. But there is no question that there are many ways to make money on the Internet. We just need to chose one or two good strategies and then do the work. It's not a quick fix, but it also is not brain surgery. The main thing is to focus on the goal using one or two proven strategies.

I hope the best for you!

SusanUSA · 09-09-2008, 12:18 PM

I am new to this business, so I am not the best one to answer this questions. However, my suggestion would be to get into affiliate marketing. It's a field where you can find products on ClickBank and then put in some good quality time drawing traffic.

Search this forum for information about affiliate marketing . . .

Sorry I can' t be of more assistance -

Hi Dar,

In the beginning I probably wrote around 7 or 8 posts each day and then I also answered every comment left by readers. There were some days that I responded to 50 or more comments! That's because the readers were so hungry for information. Their questions led me to write the second eBook, which is now the most popular one. Both my eBooks sell for under $10 each, so it's easy for folks to make the decision to purchase. This is what this market will bear since it's inspirational, motivational and self-improvement.

Now I write a post a couple times each week and still answer every comment that readers write. I try to take very good care of my readers and customers. I have developed relationships with men and women throughout the world and it's very much a blessing to me to have their trust and support.

daddyoh · 09-11-2008, 03:32 PM

Hi CW,

Way to go! Congratulations!

If it's not asking too much, I had a question or two (or three) that would really help me and others:

You wrote: "And because I had a blog format, the backend of the blog allowed me to see the key words people were using in the search engines. I could see what the readers wanted and then give it to them."

What program are you using to track visitor keywords? Google Analytics?

How are you getting traffic to your blog?

You wrote: "10. I had to Mickey Mouse the sales pages because the free WordPress sites don’t allow e-commerce. I used a service at first, but later switched to another site I built."

Were you selling your ebooks from your blog or sending your blog visitors to a website with a sales letter for your ebooks?

You've changed the way you did things in the beginning. What are you doing now to integrate the traffic with the blog, with the sales letter, with the payment processor, with the download delivery? How do you accomplish all that?

Thank you so much for sharing,

Dan

SusanUSA · 09-11-2008, 03:56 PM

Hi DaddyOh,

I used WordPress. The dashboard on WordPress gives blog stats and these show which words people used to reach my blog. I also kept track using Google Analytics so I could see what other key words I might be missing.

You can see more about how I got traffic to my page by clicking on my link. It wasn't just one strategy, but several that were part of a traffic strategy.

My blog had all the sales information on it. Then people would click on the purchase option when sent them to a service that completed the transaction. When I could afford it, I set up a shopping cart program on another web site that I had built for me. The service I used was good, but when I was selling so many eBooks, the cost of the service no longer made sense. So the shopping cart program takes care of everything, including the delivery of the PDF files.

The shopping cart system was part of a different web site that I hired a great programmer to build using Joomla. He is a saint, works for reasonable money, and really knows what he is doing!

I hope this helps! I hope the best for you in your business.

There are two "levels" of WordPress. One is free, the other is a small fee. I used the free version that uses their servers. The paid version is on your hosted site.

There are limitations to the free version, mainly in scripts that are not allowed. I don't undertstand a lot about all this. But I do know that the scripts I needed for the PayPal transactions are not allowed. It's not specifically PayPal, but rather the scripts.

You can use the paid version and run the scripts, and then you still get all the benefits from WordPress.

I hope this helps . . . I do encourage you to seek the advice of someone in this forum who knows more about the techie stuff than I know. They will be of more help to you.

daddyoh · 09-12-2008, 09:16 AM

Susan,

Just wanted to thank you for your answers to my question above
and for all the time you're spending here answering the other questions!

You are providing an invaluable service to us Warriors by sharing your story

May it come back to you in a wonderful way,

Be blessed in all you do I hope great success for your Internet Marketing business.

Just wondering what you mean . . .

I guess you are new here. The truth is lots of seasoned warriors have checked out my site and my claims and have found them to be totally true. I wrote this post to encourage people like me. If someone is willing to invest effort and time . . . and follow a good strategy, then this business can create a good income. I know because that's what it's done for me. I was totally broke and Internet Marketing pulled me out of the dumps.

I used one strategy and learned how to get traffic to my site. But there are also some really great strategies offered on WSO forum.

writergirlk · 09-21-2008, 11:24 PM

I love this story - congratulations on your success and thanks for the inspiration!

datereally · 09-22-2008, 09:37 AM

Hi Susan
From a complete newbie I salute your success and wish you continued luck in your future endeavours.

John

SusanUSA · 09-22-2008, 03:05 PM

Hi Newbies,

Thanks for the great comments. I have been very blessed. The sales for my books are still doing okay, even though it was seasonal material. I am very thankful and now working on getting some other steams of income.

Let me say one thing for sure - this is a not a get rich quick business and it is not one that takes no work. Granted, I really did well when I first started. That's because I had a great niche that was very hungry for information, I got great advice from the authors of the instructional eBooks I purchased, and I invested hours and hours of my time writing and writing and writing.

I now "pretend" as if I am back in school learning a new trade, except this in "one the job training." I am working hard to make sure I have sustainable monthly income. That's my next goal and I am now building more sites and following other strategies I've learned from successful people on this forum.

This is a business that can work, but you have to be willing to stay focused and invest your time, talent and a few dollars. Remember, that successful people do what the unsuccessful people are not willing to do.

Get focused . . . invest in some proven methods taught by successful Internet marketers . . . and then do what they say! You will get results!

You can go to the site where I tell more of my story and there you will find my methods. You can find that at How I Made $12K in 5 weeks on my 1st try!.

My blog is not for Internet Marketing. It's a totally different niche and directed to a "micro-niche" at that.

I don' think it would be of interest to you.

I hope only success for you!

MsDebra · 09-22-2008, 03:19 PM

I love your website. I also love the fact that you give away your $12k+ in 5 weeks plan. I, too, want to write Christian ebooks and self-improvement books. I had no idea that so many people want to buy these books. When I look for keywords, I don't see much demand for Christian books.

You have inspired me to write on my two favorite subjects. Many blessings to you.

Is there any problem to show your blog? Why are you hiding your successful blog which is responsible for making $12,000? Or is it your any type of weakness? How will we understand that you are not just promoting some affiliate products with your so called success story? We haven't seen your products and blogs yet and you are always hiding it from us. It doesn't matter what niche that is, we want to see it.

Hi again,

I see by the number of posts that you are new to the Warrior Forum. Perhaps you also are new to Internet Marketing. The reason I don't advertise my blog is there are literally thieves that lurk sites like the Warrior Forum so they can hack successful sites. Also, there are ways to steal traffic that could totally wipe out my sales. That's a very real risk.

As you read more posts, especially those written by very successful Internet marketers, you will see that they don't share this kind of information on an open forum like this. It's a very private matter because it's like publishing the access information to your bank account.

With that said, I have shared my blog site with many people on this forum whom I trust. They can verify my success and have shared that I am being truthful with others on the Warrior Forum. They are the same Internet professionals who tell me it is essential to keep my information private.

I can understand that you may consider my success "unbelievable." But it's the absolute truth. I am a believer in miracles, the Author of the law of attraction, and in the power of focused work. These all contributed to my success . . . along with following the advice of some very successful professionals who know a whole lot more about this business than I.

You can send a PM to me with information as to why you are trustworthy to receive the address of my blog and I would be happy to share it with you! I don't have anything to hide from credible people. But in the same way that you don't know me . . . I don't know you. So help me see why I should trust you with this valuable information and I will be happy to show you my blog. Fair enough?

ShayRockhold · 09-22-2008, 09:38 PM

Susan -

Just looked in on this thread to read your story again. It gets better each time and it puts a smile on my face.

Thank you again for sharing it with us.

Bayo · 09-23-2008, 07:33 PM

Well done and thanks for such an inspiring story!

I agree with a gem mentioned in the responses that FOCUS is the key supported by ACTION.

With these 2 key ingredients, everyone can create their own success in information and internet marketing.

While I am not yet independently wealthy (that will come) I still use other techniques (rather than fear) to keep my focused. I find the best thing is to just set aside a block of time and make sure I complete the most important goals for the day. It is so easy to get distracted. But distraction = meager results.

There are so many opportunities in this business, but sometimes as newbies, we try to find the golden key by trying all kinds of strategies. The truth is we have the golden key in our beings -- and that is focus.

So what I know for sure now is to pick a strategy. Learn how to do it from gurus and/or teachers you can trust and who have proven reputations (talk is cheap) and then follow their advice to the letter. Only alter their strategies if you absolutely have to because of the nuances of your niche or product. Or, after you have used their strategy and are then just fine tuning it for your business.

The KISS method has been around a long time because it works. It worked for me and it can work for you, too.

I hope only success for you in all you do!

Great story about the power of focus!!!

SusanUSA · 09-24-2008, 03:14 PM

Hey Warriors,

Thanks so much for all your great words. I do hope this can be inspirational. I know there is amazing power in focus and staying on task. I now am building a couple more sites to use on some other niches. I still service my customers and will soon start to write some other eBooks to sell to them.

My goal is to have at least $5000 of consistent monthly income from my Internet marketing efforts. My blog provides some of that consistently, but I want to make sure I have multiple steams of Internet income.

This is a great business. I love that I can sit in my living room, look out at the gorgeous surround hills, and write all day long AND GET PAID FOR IT!

Life is good!

I hope only success for you!

Sid Kaplan · 09-24-2008, 07:23 PM

Susan, just had to take a moment to say how inspiring I found your story but more important how you respond to people. Your caring comes through with beams of light.

You have been clear and forthright about focus and hard work which combined with belief and faith fashioned your success.

I think you have a coaching ebook in you just waiting to come out.

Much more success.

Sid

SusanUSA · 09-25-2008, 02:32 PM

I am sure you've heard the saying, "Successful people are those who are willing to do what others are not willing to do."

That is so true in this business! The truth is, more than 80 percent of the people who buy WSOs, instructional eBooks and how-to books never read them . . . and if they don read them, they don't act and put the information into practice.

We've all done it! I know I have. I have more books than I want to devulge that I have not implemented. BUT, when I do implement the good and proven practices of successful gurus, I am successful.

Another thing is that most of us are creative-types. So we keep trying to build a better mousetrap (you might be to young to know that old cliche). So we spend hours of time, lots of $$ and huge effort on building the better mousetrap, only to find that buyers are just as happy with the old one . . . and if we would just set up a great little site and sell the good old original version, we would make a lot of money!

Keep it simple. Do the work. Follow what the gurus say . . . and success is sure to come. At least that's been my experience!

gamefreak · 09-25-2008, 03:01 PM

ThomasW · 09-25-2008, 10:30 PM

This is a very interesting thread. There is no reason to doubt what you say, but it does provide an interesting way to make money for someone. Post an inspiring story about making several thousand dollars with a blog and a couple ebooks - but don't tell anyone how to order the books, or visit the blog. Send them to your sig link and have a good story and a picture and promote affiliate products on that page. Very interesting and unique model I must say.
Good for you!

Sid Kaplan · 09-25-2008, 10:57 PM

Thomas, I have seen Susan's work, and her blog and she is very legitimate and most interested in telling her story to inspire and motivate others to do the same. She is proud of hauling herself up to the IM challenge and making it happen.

I am not affiliated with her products or her site, I just like the fact that she is doing this to serve others - what her blog and books are about is irrelevant.

She wants to protect her niche and all she has worked for and unfortunately not all who visit this forum are squeaky clean!

Folks, I only know Susan from this forum but I applaud her courage to bring her story forward. You are free to think she is only promoting her affiliates but remember you don't have to click on the links or buy...you have the power...LOL

I for one am interested in seeing her succeed and motivate others to do the same. It is called paying it forward.

Much success to all.

ThomasW · 09-25-2008, 11:03 PM

My apologies. I thoroughly agree with you and congratulate Susan. I mean that sincerely!

I was only commenting that would be a unique way to have an affiliate site.

Susan has inspired me to get to work on my own ambitions and she is refreshing and inspirational. No offense to you Susan at all!

That's what happens to me when I get inspired and have a money making idea at the same time!

May your life continue to be blessed!

keithakin · 09-25-2008, 11:07 PM

You give me hope!!! I am also in the middle of writing stuff about a subject close to my heart. I intend to finish up my first ebook by next thursday afternoon!

I'll let you know the results that I get . . . and what were the two ebooks that got you started? I too bought an ebook on traffic and one on writing ebooks.

Great minds think alike!

And God Bless!

However, my suggestion would be to get into affiliate marketing. It's a field where you can find products on ClickBank and then put in some good quality time drawing traffic. Search this forum for information about affiliate marketing . . . Sorry I can' t be of more assistance -

If it's not asking too much, I had a question or two (or three) that would really help me and others: You wrote: "And because I had a blog format, the backend of the blog allowed me to see the key words people were using in the search engines. I could see what the readers wanted and then give it to them." What program are you using to track visitor keywords? Google Analytics? How are you getting traffic to your blog? You wrote: "10. I had to Mickey Mouse the sales pages because the free WordPress sites don’t allow e-commerce. I used a service at first, but later switched to another site I built." Were you selling your ebooks from your blog or sending your blog visitors to a website with a sales letter for your ebooks? You've changed the way you did things in the beginning. What are you doing now to integrate the traffic with the blog, with the sales letter, with the payment processor, with the download delivery? How do you accomplish all that? Thank you so much for sharing, Dan

The dashboard on WordPress gives blog stats and these show which words people used to reach my blog. I also kept track using Google Analytics so I could see what other key words I might be missing. You can see more about how I got traffic to my page by clicking on my link. It wasn't just one strategy, but several that were part of a traffic strategy. My blog had all the sales information on it. Then people would click on the purchase option when sent them to a service that completed the transaction. When I could afford it, I set up a shopping cart program on another web site that I had built for me. The service I used was good, but when I was selling so many eBooks, the cost of the service no longer made sense. So the shopping cart program takes care of everything, including the delivery of the PDF files. The shopping cart system was part of a different web site that I hired a great programmer to build using Joomla. He is a saint, works for reasonable money, and really knows what he is doing! I hope this helps! I hope the best for you in your business.

I have been very blessed. The sales for my books are still doing okay, even though it was seasonal material. I am very thankful and now working on getting some other steams of income. Let me say one thing for sure - this is a not a get rich quick business and it is not one that takes no work. Granted, I really did well when I first started. That's because I had a great niche that was very hungry for information, I got great advice from the authors of the instructional eBooks I purchased, and I invested hours and hours of my time writing and writing and writing. I now "pretend" as if I am back in school learning a new trade, except this in "one the job training." I am working hard to make sure I have sustainable monthly income. That's my next goal and I am now building more sites and following other strategies I've learned from successful people on this forum. This is a business that can work, but you have to be willing to stay focused and invest your time, talent and a few dollars. Remember, that successful people do what the unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Get focused . . . invest in some proven methods taught by successful Internet marketers . . . and then do what they say! You will get results!

I also love the fact that you give away your $12k+ in 5 weeks plan. I, too, want to write Christian ebooks and self-improvement books. I had no idea that so many people want to buy these books. When I look for keywords, I don't see much demand for Christian books. You have inspired me to write on my two favorite subjects. Many blessings to you.

I do hope this can be inspirational. I know there is amazing power in focus and staying on task. I now am building a couple more sites to use on some other niches. I still service my customers and will soon start to write some other eBooks to sell to them. My goal is to have at least $5000 of consistent monthly income from my Internet marketing efforts. My blog provides some of that consistently, but I want to make sure I have multiple steams of Internet income. This is a great business. I love that I can sit in my living room, look out at the gorgeous surround hills, and write all day long AND GET PAID FOR IT! Life is good! I hope only success for you!

Your caring comes through with beams of light. You have been clear and forthright about focus and hard work which combined with belief and faith fashioned your success. I think you have a coaching ebook in you just waiting to come out. Much more success. Sid

That is so true in this business! The truth is, more than 80 percent of the people who buy WSOs, instructional eBooks and how-to books never read them . . . and if they don read them, they don't act and put the information into practice. We've all done it! I know I have. I have more books than I want to devulge that I have not implemented. BUT, when I do implement the good and proven practices of successful gurus, I am successful. Another thing is that most of us are creative-types. So we keep trying to build a better mousetrap (you might be to young to know that old cliche). So we spend hours of time, lots of $$ and huge effort on building the better mousetrap, only to find that buyers are just as happy with the old one . . . and if we would just set up a great little site and sell the good old original version, we would make a lot of money! Keep it simple. Do the work. Follow what the gurus say . . . and success is sure to come. At least that's been my experience!
