Some success, but how do I duplicate it?
I've been doing IM for nearly a year. The first 3 months were spent creating a content site that I later sold for a measly 100 bucks. I realized that going for the next myspace wasn't a good beginner strategy and moved on.
After that, I started testing niche domains using Amazon, CJ, Linkshare, and Clickbank. I've used a combination of AdWords, Articles, Social Bookmarking/Networking, and word of mouth to spread the word. To date, I've managed about 30-75 bucks a month...mostly Amazon, CJ, and Linkshare (never had a CB sale). Adsense is really my greatest success, but usually it comes and goes with the traffic of my new Ezine articles.
In the meantime, while I am deployed I started an online business selling local goods, and it has picked up well. I can't scale it because I am deployed and don't have any extra people to hire locally. I also can't take it home because of customs and other issues.
Anyway, my question is, what is the best way to take the income I make via my product business and move it into affiliate marketing and blogging? Basically, where do you invest your funds most wisely so that you can increase your assets? I've thought about buying more sites, paying for articles, etc...but I don't really have any clue.
Could anyone offer some advice...real life example would be great.
The funny thing is, I spent a total of 5-10 hours setting up this product based business and made money from the get go. I've spent hundreds, probably thousands, of hours on affiliate and adsense marketing and made maybe 200 bucks to date. Go figure.
