Just Made My First $$!!! It Feels Real Good!!!

120 replies
I've promised myself that I would immediately post in this forum when I make my first $ online. I owe Mike Morgan, Kenster, my AM and Lead Impact a HUGE thanks!!

Okay, so I run ppv campaign with Lead Impact (GREAT network by the way!) literally a couple of hours ago, and now i just made my first $ online. The offer pays $15 dollar. Not bad at all. I lost actually, but it really doesn't matter!

For those of you who have just started, keep on going! It took me 6 months playing with ppv, to make my first $.

    Well Done Man, many more to come. Do this now. Take a screenshot of your account that has the sale in it, then print it out and frame it on the wall. Im dead serious about this, it keeps you going through all the hard times.

    A fellow warrior told me to do this 6 months ago and it worked for me.

    Congrats again!

        Hey Edward,
        Congrats buddy , I agree with concept of 6 months of hard work and results driven after 6 months. In last 2 weeks, this is what I managed to earn-

        1. Clickbank (1 recurring sale of $35/month after 1.5 years of long waiting)
        2. Paydotcom (1 recurring sale of $45/year)
        3. Article video robot sale (1 for $17)
        4. peerfly CPA ($ 2.80 till now started mid July)
        5. CPA lead ($7.50 till now started mid July)

        Should I be happy ? I think yes because every penny we earn not only shows us what works but most importantly what doesn't work. Started FB ad campaign last night (hit and trial) let's see what I can learn from it.

        Kind regards

          I completely agree with the last paragraph. Knowing what works and what doesn't are critical. I've been doing this campaign for 3 weeks now, so far I've got $1000, which is not bad at all, but what amazing is that almost half of that money ($470) comes from the last 3 days of campaign. Now, all I gotta do is wait for another week, and if the conversion stays consistent, I'm ready to scale it up even more.

          Btw, hope you have success with your campaigns mate.

          Best of luck,

          Edward

              Hi John,

              I would highly recommend Mike Morgan's WSO. With that being said, it's just a guide, you have to take the action needed, and put your own twist to it.

              Best of luck,

                The best way I approach this is to:

                -Break your system down into individual pieces and map out the whole process.

                -Now determine the strategy of the process. What can you share with outsourcers without them being able to steal what you are doing? Perhaps you can give one piece of the puzzle to one person and another piece to another, so nobody but you has the complete puzzle.

                -Now interview a few people before pickign one or however many people you want to work with. If you have the means, give the same test (something similar to what you want them doing) to each of your candidates. Dont let them know its a test, make it seem like its the only project you want. Whomever completes the test best, stick with them...they are probably the best and most effective worker!

                -The most important part is mapping out exactly what your system entails. Once its in visual map, that will make it easier to figure out what you can and cant outsource effectively.

          There is nothing better than waking up and knowing you made more in your sleep than your friends/family/others will make all day at work!! Comes from initial hard work of course, but its a great feeling.

          And then if you are doing paid traffic, there is always the risk that you lost money overnight

    Remember to save that first commission check and plaster it around your home for motivation!

    And always find out why something happened. Why you made money here or lose money there. Answering the why will take you places in CPA!

    awesome job

      Hey Edward,

      Congrats on the first conversion! Lead Impact is a great CPV network so keep trying different offers with them! Right now, I'm running an auto insurance offer (pays out $10.50) and a credit report offer (pays out $22) on Lead Impact and I'm getting, on average, 2 conversions from each per day. So, if you haven't already, try promoting offers in these 2 niches as well! Keep at it and great job!

        I know you're promoting those offers cos I read your blog on daily basis, to check whether you have updated new post or not

        Why are you getting only 2 conversions per day? Are you not pushing the traffic enough?

          This is just how I go about optimizing my campaigns. I take it VERY slow at first and feel out how the campaign performs. If I see that I'm getting consistent conversions on the same set of keyword phrases or URL's, then I am confident enough to ramp it up.

          But right now the conversions are on such random keyword phrases that I'm not to the point where I know that my larger investment will pay off. But I'm hoping that in another week or two the campaign will start showing some more consistency.

          But I'm really glad that you're coming back to the site on a daily basis! My life has been SO hectic lately that I'm trying my best to get a post up there every day!

          I hope you keep reading and let me know if you need any help with Lead Impact. I'm starting to get a good feel for it and I can give you some direction if you need it!

            I know that you use tracking202, but have you ever used Lead Impact tracking script? They don't seem to track which keywords that are converting, dont they?

            I'm planning to use tracking202 instead, but that means I have to grab new URL for my landing page destination. The thing is my landing page size has been altered by them, it's not the usual 800*600 dimension, and I'm afraid that if I changed the landing page URL, the size would change back to normal.

              Hi there,

              Just go to his blog, there's quite good information there, plus you can always leave comments on his blog, and Tim will reply your comments ASAP. Or you can email Tim from his blog. Just make sure you give him some time though, he's a very good guy, but he also has businesses to take care of.

              Best of luck,

      No problem man...just make sure you actually put the info in Rags2Riches into action. Action makes you money, not info, not words, not ebooks!

      ...or you can wait til you get some multiple figure checks and then mistakenly leave a copy on the dinner table

        For sure. I have a question for you though. Which one is harder, finding the right campaign or cutting of un-converting (if there is such word) keywords?

          Edward,

          The two are basically one in the same. Finding the right campaign involves optimizing the campaign which is the real work ofbuilding a campaign. Optimization involves, split testing, weeding out the bad keywords, and expanding on the good ones.

          In general, even the optimization isnt Hard per say. Its a lot of work and tremendous amount of organization involved, but its not really that difficult of a process, just time consuming.

    Now I'm packed with this method, I am certain I would not fail (again) in PPV. Thanks for sharing Mike.
    You had determination to succeed form the get go and you did it .

        Definitely! And most newbs do nothing and expect money pouring down from the sky. They bought tons of WSOs and let it rotten in their desktop.

        So true man. I remember my early days. I made a whooping income of around 50 cents when I first started and I was running and yelling "IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE!!!!!" That's the no 1 hurdle before even starting, you have to believe in it to make it work.

    Sorry guys, been really busy with the campaign. Just a quick update, the first campaign, which I made my first dime was not profitable at all. So I stopped promoting that offer. In the last 3 weeks I've been testing new offer, which I find quite profitable. I made consistent 1-2 conversion on the first week, 2-3 conversion on the second week, and 4-5 conversion on the third. Today I got 8 conversions. I find my conversion rate quite high on the weekends.

    Best of luck,

    Edward

      Kenster,

      Thx a lot mate. Just a little more update, turned out I made 12 conversions today. It quite funny how it happened though, i thought I had reached my budget, but it turned out I still had $10 budget on the campaign, and from that $10 I made another 4 conversions, each conversion worth $22.5!

          If you find a system that works well, getting 5 people to do 24/7/365 will produce a good multiple of the results.

          Heck if you are darn good, you can spend 24/6/365 doing nothing as your business is still cranking at 24/7/365. A difficult task but just saying, Hehe

            Hmmm, outsourcing is definitely in my plans, but I really have no idea how to outsource. Not that I dont know where to find the people, but it's how can I explain the system to them. When I reach the level where I really cant handle it by myself, I'm gonna ask your advice then.

      Hey Jesseca,

      My advice is if you completely new to affiliate marketing game, I recommend that you start with free traffic sources like article marketing , yahoo answers , micro niche sites , video marketing , etc .

      This way you would be able to get lots of expertise about the critical components of internet marketing. You would also get money for paid traffic.

      Once, you become familiar with all the critical elements, and then you can jump to Paid Traffic Sources like PPC, PPV, etc.

      BTW , the following thread can give you some ideas

      Hope it helps .

      Hi Jesseca,

      It depends, if you had money to spend, paid traffic might be suitable for you, but if you had more time rather than money, article marketing, blogging, video marketing, etc might me suitable for you. I would recommend you to start with ONE traffic source, once you feel like you have a good grip, then try different traffic sources.

      I haven't had the chance to try different traffic source because I do think there's more to explore in PPV.

      Best of luck,

      Edward

      What are your strengths and weaknesses? What have you tried before?

      These are the critical questions in determining which path YOU should. There are many paths that end up at the pot of gold if you work hard enough, but the best path is different for everybody.

      Due some self analyzing, and THEN pick a good direction to take!

      I dont care how small it is....frame it and use it as motivation.

      Try and add a few zeros every 6 months as your goal.

      Ie...

      If your check was for $42.31
      6 Month Goal 4,231.00 in the bank
      12 Month Goal 42,310.00 in the bank
      18 Month Goal 423,100.00 in the bank
      24 Month Goal 4,231,000.00 in the bank

      Absolutely! Work hard, work smart and eventually you will see rewards. Many people call me and others in this industry lucky but have you ever noticed that those people who worked their butts off get more lucky than those who sit and wait for luck.

      So go after your goals and work your bums off. It will likely require a fair bit of sacrifice, but name 10 rich people you know who didnt sacrifice a lot to get where they are at?

      Best of luck CPAing!

    It really feels great that you finally earned that hard-earned cash. Although you have lost in the PPV game for 6 months, this little dollar that you've earned is already good.....than nothing. Just don't give up man, keep going until you can see PROFITS!

    For those of you who have just started, keep on going! It took me 6 months playing with ppv, to make my first $.
    I can imagine your face and your smile when you earn your first bucks using PPV network. I'm using it a lot, Lead Impact and mostly promote Dating offer from MaxBounty.
    Keep going on, make split test of the campaign to get better results...

    ahaa nice man. Yeah this thread is a little old, so I'm curious how this cat has made out since posting this. He says that he didn't make any profit, but was still excited that he made a sale.

    Yeah just goes to show that this game is all about attitude and mindset. Once you get that down, then you're motivated to keep at it.

    Well since this thread is old as hell, it couldn't hurt to be honest about what the guy actually wrote.

    1) He wrote he lost money. As in, there was NO net gain whatsoever.

    2) He wrote that it "doesn't matter" to lose money.

    3) About 99% of people congratulated him on this.

    4) Noone pointed out the fact that he was also doing this for 6 months.


    For an objective, rational minded person, that is quite horrible. OF COURSE you're bound to "make" a small % of money if you burn enough of it. Its the same thing as playing roulette. Throw enough at the table, you'll always make a smaller % back.

    But that is FAR from making money.

    In conclusion, I offer no congratulations.
    I haven't seen this guy post again and I will speculate that he stopped PPV because he went broke, lost all hope, and stopped marketing.

    I will also suspect that all this happened because there wasn't one person on here who refused to sugarcoat the truth. He lost money. When you lose money, you fail. Failure does not = success when you never actually succeed. Yes you can fail a few times, then succeed and call it a success. But what I read here is clear, unadulterated failure.

    Sorry for calling it the way I see it.
