Woo! Another new SFI affiliate and over 20 newsletter subscribers!

[zhuuraan]

I'm really excited! Every time I think "Man this just isn't going to work.," I get a new referral and every time I visit the GetResponse site I have at least one new newsletter signup. Knowing that restores my confidence whenever it does start to dwindle.

I'm having issues with Google Website Optimizer though, so my split testing is getting nowhere fast. I mean I know I don't get a ton of traffic, but I get at least a few daily hits from Traffic Swarm alone but they aren't registering with optimizer so trying to troubleshoot.

Still I'm pretty happy, though I think most of my affiliates are already inactive. I fear that many of them have already given up, despite my efforts to make a connection with them when they joined.

Either way, I am determined as ever to make this work. I saw $6.06 in my SFI account for last month, supposing with the EA bonus, the commission from my own purchase of IAHBE and the Cash Infusion. That really isn't much money, but considering I've made no sales save my own, it at least shows that something is coming back to me. If only I can get more sales, that'd be awesome!

I think I might put links to some of the things in my blog and stuff though. Advertising TripleClicks is a lot harder than advertising SFI itself. I guess that's why so many fail. They don't get any sales very quickly.

Well anyway, I'm not entirely sure why I started this post to begin with. I think originally it was my elation at my new affiliate and my growing newsletter. I feel more motivated to push on and get more sales. I just wish I knew better ways of promoting the products as well as the program.

I haven't gotten any PIPS signups either yet, though I am hoping my newsletter and the ads I've placed will bring them in.

Sadly though, most of the places I have found are already plastered with PIPS ads, so I need to think outside the box on that one.

I suppose maybe the next couple days I will dedicate to brainstorming. It'll be much nicer when I'm in Utah and can have more places to put stuff offline. I think the offline audience might be a little bit more receptive. Not really sure though.

Hi Amanda,

Nice job! Those little success stories will soon turn into big success stories if you stick to your plan and are diligent, hard working, and make good business decisions!

Take care

I'm not sure what was up with Optimizer, but it seems to be tracking a few hits now, though still no conversion. That's a little irritating but I did just get started. Oh well.

Trouble is if I don't get much response, my split testing won't be very fruitful. Even if one gets more conversions than the other, I doubt either of them will get many for a while.

We will see though. I'll keep plugging away, and whenever this split test finishes, I'll start a new one, constantly trying to improve the site.

Right now I'm just playing with the color of the button. I'm kinda sticking with all reds though because that's what it was originally and that's what I guessed myself would be most effective so for now I'm just messing with shades.

I might eventually mess with my site background color and stuff.

I can't see well enough for it to make a difference, but for my visitors it will so I am doing the best I can. Split testing will be a big help for me.

I can't wait until I move because I think I will have a lot more success.

I don't mean to be overposting or anything. I'm just extremely social and a little bit overexcited, lol.

Man once this really starts paying off, I'm scared to know how excited I'll be. Probably be too busy bouncing off the walls to post, lol.

I need some blog traffic darn it! I've been focusing on one particular subject per post for the most part. Hmm, wait! I can post my blog posts on Associated Content! I can only do them for Display Only since they are already written, but WOO!

And, since the originals are on my blog, I can put my blog URL in the resources for another backlink! WOO! WOO! WOO! WOW!
