Does this simple formula work for anyone?

hey there,


not a bad little post...but what most people won't realise online is that to make any good money you need money.


Sure you can do seo for 3 years then make some little money and if your good make big money.


But people just think put up a few ads and make an affiliate website and make money.


Now some lucky people can do this but not 99% of people.

You're probably just not doing it right.

Most EComm advice is extremely outdated and more focused on either finding mathematic logical products to sell that never do or trying to find off the wall long tail keywords.

Pretty much stupid advice IMO.

For FB selling physical products you usually get the best results not using landing pages but instead using FBs ad platform to blister up your FB presence. However this entails using. Specific line of products not hypothetical nonsense.

While I have heard stories of people just doing some "overnight loophole" to generate free traffic, it's just not a legitimate business model. That's my opinion though. YMMV

Why wasting money on brutal selling?

It's FAR BETTER to have an opt-in page. To build a List and THEN promote affiliate product
of a particular Niche.

The System indeed is very simple:

- Find a Niche where there are competition and potential buyers.

- Build an OPT-IN PAGE and then give something in return of the mail (Most of the affiliate products have an affiliation page where there are reports etc, to give for free. Or you can outsource to a fiverr or upwork guy)

- In the THANK YOU page you can promote an affiliate product.

- Email FUNNEL for nurturing leads and promote VARIOUS affiliate products and if you are clever YOUR PRODUCT, so you can earn 100% (outsource it or build it by your own).

For building a list you can have a lot of options, fb ads, google ads, solo ads, etc...

It's a start. But you need to implement some sort of Relationship Building medium...a.k.a collecting information and developing a List of Subscribers that you can communicate with and share helpful content with and offer Products that can further help them.

Try starting out with 10 Follow Ups before you start to promote that Product. Have the first email or two to introduce yourself and what you have done in the past and what you want to do for them.

That's not the way we do it. But even if it was, so what? Yes, that "formula" is simple -- but it's too simple.

There are thousands of ways to accomplish each and every one of those steps, and clearly some of those ways are going to be better than others. Moreover, some are going to be more applicable to certain businesses trying to meet the needs of certain types of customers. And nobody gets it right on the first try. Every one of those steps needs to be tried, tested and revised until you do better and better with each passing iteration -- which brings up another problem with your "formula": it's too sequential, when really a "formula" for a successful business (if there ever could be such a formula) would be iterative.

The fact is that you can break just about anything down into a simple formula, but that doesn't mean it's helpful.

For instance, here's a four step process to get to Mars:

1. Build spaceship and space suits
2. Launch rocket
3. Steer rocket to Mars
4. Land

Do you get the sense that I might be missing a few important details there?

Or we could try something a little less complex. Here's a simple formula for how to slam dunk a basketball:

1. Dribble the ball
2. Run towards the hoop
3. Jump
4. Stuff the ball into the basket

Now everybody can slam dunk a basketball, right? Except... I'm under six feet tall... And I'm a good, but not exceptional jumper... Something tells me that even following that simple formula isn't going to do me much good...

So yeah, you can over-simplify anything. But that doesn't mean it's going to get you anywhere.

You left the traffic step out of your first post.

Kurt's Rule #1 of marketing: You MUST be able to SPECIFICALLY answer the question: Where EXACTLY will I find customers?

The answer to this question is the key to making money. And just like learning to play an old blues song, it's simple, but it isn't easy.

It could work. You'll need to do a fair bit of testing but you could find profit.

But as many of others have mentioned, you would likely be better off building a list and then monetizing your list.

capture them leads...

collect them all, like pokemon..

own the traffic.

It's a very simplified model but yeah it works. The thing is to make FB ads work you'll initially be spending way more than $10 unless you strike gold and target correctly.

From my own experience online for 4 years I have made money with this formula. The way I did it though is by also creating a few videos about the product, redirecting to a blog psot or video explaining more about the product and offering bonuses. My profits were really good since I did not spend hardly anything on an ad. I simply boosted the post and offered a good bonus. I also syndicated on other blog networks like Medium, Blogger, Tumblr with Video embedding. I also recommend using Google Hangouts and Social signal gigs on fiverr to help with rankings.

You missed out one vital point. Before you find a product, you must identify a need, and find a product to fill that need. No good trying to sell a product that nobody wants.

Build a list before affiliate promotion?

Interesting ? and interesting comments.

Unless you know what you're doing, you can literally burn through your entire savings with FB ads.

Potentially you could research FB for some reputable Solo Ads providers and check them out. If you're going to spend $$$ better to spend those $$$ on a reputable Solo Ad provider who will send traffic to your relevant link; than go hit and miss with FB ads. The only people making money out of FB is actually FB!!!.

Read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald this arvo where one of the major credit agencies guys who kind of predicts how companies will go is saying unlike Wall St that FB in the next couple of years is going to go south (their shares value that is) due to Snapchat and other social media platforms etc.

Problem with FB is their stuff is now damn hard to even be able to reach people to see your FB posts - it's now FB who determines whether your post will get more views and extended reach which is one hellva pain in the arse; and if other FB users are like me, as soon as they see a damn unwanted ad on their timeline (courtesy of FB trying to boost its fast losing ads revenue) they simply delete the ad and basically inform FB to bugger off. Really is bloody annoying having FB shoving ads in people's timelines and no way for the owner of the timeline to be able to switch the b.... stuff off so it doesn't continually happen.

So my erstwhile suggestion is save your $$$. Rome wasn't built in a day; and the pipe dreams of making money online fast and easy is really just that a bloody pipe dream that sucks people into parting with their hard earned dollars.

Develop a strategy, whether free or paid and give it at least 30 days of implementation, all the while monitoring, testing and tweaking. Free = trading time and effort for $$$. Paid = trading $$$ for time and effort. Maybe do a mixture of both.

It's about finding the right paid venue rather than simply hitting on one. All these people who claim they can make millions out of FB really are touting a heap of BS. FB wants people to remain on FB and people want to connect with their friends and social circles. If you want to throw your hard earned $$$ away then go for FB. If you want to get the best bang for your buck, continue to research and ensure you do your due diligence first and see what you can come up with.

Hope this assists.

List building => is the DIAMOND of every business (fundamental part)

my personal formula to make $7K - $10K (sales) per month is helping my Team to reach the same level

if you can offer 10K traffic to your team is very easy to expand your business (like I do)
