Planned to Quit my $8000+/mo money making strategies because of WarriorForum!

Hey Warriors,

This is Aryan (my pen name ). I planned to quit my my $8000+/mo money making strategies because of WarriorForum!

I'm also an Internet Marketer like you. But I do Black hat stuff!

I started making money online by Dec 2007. I bought a website at ebay for $6 and sold it at Digitalpoint for $32. $26 - That was my first profit online! That was the time I came out of my college!

I then joined as a software developer in a small company. In my free time I started learning and trying lot of Internet marketing stuff. (leeched Warriorforum many times).

By end of 2009, I found a Goldmine at a Warcraft Forum. It was using a old version of Phpbb software. I found a database exploit with that forum and got access to the entire user profiles. I was interested only in the emails. I took the entire email database and started emailing them with Warcraft offers from Clickbank.

I sent around 6000 emails which I got from the forum. The conversions were very poor. It was less than 0.10%. But I made $100+. My expenditure was just $6/mo for SMTP servers. Still a good profit %.

I was thinking about increasing the conversions. Some thread at warriorforum told me that having Name in the title and email message will increase the conversion. With forums I can't get the real names.

Where to get Real Name from an Email? - FaceBook!

I built a Bot which will take the email list as input and give me the First name and last name for that email from facebook. Out of 5 emails, there will be 1 in facebook.

With email personalization, and lot of tweaks I'm now achieving more than 6% conversions with emailing!

I quit my fulltime job by January 2010. Only with emailing, my june profit was $8319!

I was attracted into Black hat stuff because of $$. I desperately wanted to quit that. I never emailed anyone in July and this month.

I'm now here before you as a Whitehat Marketer. I learned lot of stuff in the past 2 years. I planned to put them in right way.

I registered at WarriorForum as a War Room member.
I bought an Aweber account!

Planned to get into PPC and Micro Niche SEO.

Looking for your support and advices!

Update:

Thanks for all your kind replies!

I'm already into Whitehat stuff from July second week. I built a review site around a CB product. For my 3 targeted keywords I'm now in Page 1. Only one keyword reached No.2. The earnings last 30 days is $1117. Earnings per visitor comes around $0.45. Once I reach Top 3 for all my keywords I hope the earning will be somewhere around $3K-4K.

I started PPC for the same site yesterday. But received a warning from adwords saying that "Final Warning: Your Google AdWords account has multiple violations". Need to figure out and fix the issue!

Based on my first Clickbank review website, I now have a $3 Million plan around affiliate marketing+SEO.

I learned a lot from fellow warriors just by leeching this forum for around a year (never registered as its not needed to check quality content here...). I got good insight in SEO from here esp from PhilipSEO. His thread about Link Building at Seochat forum is amazing. Today I just read all his posts and threads. He is someone who talks about High Level SEO!

You already know this forum is excellent. There is no need to tell you this again and again. I'm just typing like an amazed kid that got a Candy bar! So please bare me!

Thanks,
Aryan
