$10K/mo is possible!

Great questions, Fred, and also thanks for the kind encouragement!

First of all the entire income is from WSOs. I still have not done a lot of marketing outside of WF. So that's a big lesson in itself -- you can hit $10K/mo with a couple successful WSOS

Second, my biggest and most constant success is via the backlink packets. It's a continuity program for just $10/mo and has an incredible 70% retention at 6mo. It still, after 9 months, provides a steady $3K/mo.

I did a lot of cross promotion, but only with people whose products I trust and like -- Muz Azar, Dave Seisner, SMS, and a few others.

I built a list of 3500 subscribers so far, neatly segmented into paying customers (per product) and freebie seekers. I email them every time I do a WSO and response has been awesome. My friends also email and their lists have been very responsive to my products so far.

Apart from the backlink packets, I concentrate on building software that solves problems people hit daily. My latest WSO is an example of such a problem, how to find keywords that people are looking for when in a buying mind frame.

And the clincher -- just to show how totally naive I am (still) -- I only now am setting up an affiliate program with e-junkie. All my preceding sales to date were made on word of mouth, cross promotion, and friendship. An affiliate program for one's products is absolutely a must and how I plan to reach my $10K/mo predictable income goal.

The best affiliates you can have are your paying customers. Just a hint

Hi Joe,

bought a software from you lately and gotta say that what you offer is worth its buck. Hands down. In my book you so deserve every cent you make .... and more!

I have a day job of 200hr/mo. I put in about 90hr/mo into the internet marketing. So hour for hour, the IM work is more profitable

Once I go full time, kicking the "salary habit" so to speak (and it's when not if) I can see how to do 20K, 30K, maybe even more, per month.

Well, thanks for the inspiration Joe. I hope I can figure it out soon, but I sometimes feel like I must have a bag over my head or something.

Hi Sonam

I think its a bit different than you imply in your question. There's no one thing that's most effective. Rather, you have to (be lucky and) apply the right tool at the right time.

What I mean is that you have to build a list, then use the list to create JVs, then use the JVs to get a bigger list, and so on and so forth. Each stage is a step to the next one, it seems to never end. Don't get discouraged when you cannot see what to do next, it's not necessary to always get it right and there's certainly more than one "right" way

The best source of traffic is my list. My list came from JVs and from the warrior forum. Other people were generous enough to do JVs with me on a barter basis, I promote their product and they promote mine. So that way I get traffic and new members on my list, from fresh lists which often have very little overlap with the list I have. That's how you grow

Hope I answered the question.

Oh and I never ever ever pay directly for traffic. I'm willing to pay affiliate commissions, no problem, because the incentive structure is set up right (they only get paid if I get paid), not so with traffic you have to pay for directly.

This point you touched on above is what has allowed WSOs to launch the internet marketing careers of many warriors in here. Many people (newbies especially) just don't see the point of running a low-priced or free WSO, but this is what allows you to build a list of responsive buyers (especially in the case of low-priced WSOs) WHILE earning money in the process!

Typically you'd have to pay for advertising and/or put in lots of time and effort to drive traffic to your offer, but by running a WSO you're basically running a self-funding list building campaign, as you're getting paid by each subscriber (buyer) instead of the other way around!

This is the true power of running WSOs that very few people realize to this day!

Way to Go Joe!!!!!

Thanks for breaking this down, Joe. I think this goal is very realistic and achievable, especially since you've a consumable product that needs to be purchased monthly (your backlink packets), and I feel that you should concentrate your efforts on marketing the socks off of it, now that you know you have a great product on your hands.

You hit the nail on the head there. Everyone of us has only got 24 hours per day, and between our other daily responsibilities (which includes a job for some of the people here) and our IM, there's only so much we can do each day. The key to scaling up is replacing yourself with outsourced workers, so that there can be 2,3 5, or even more "clones" of you doing all the daily required work to rake in the big money!

Hi Joe,

Yes I Know Ubot as I've used SEO tools made from ubot. Dont tell me you're the owner of this great UBOT software that I use? lol Got it from Clickbank and it's great, great support.

I still use SENUKE and excited for the release of X, yes it's worth it if you know how to use it.

Goodluck on your Ubot platforms and let me know if you have some great recommendations for me. I might need one of your tools!
