Thank you warrior forum ! First best thing I did this year in Jan 2011, upgraded my membership in warriorforum as a war room member. I will suggest to upgrade your membership because I got atleast 1000 time more information in that same amount which is impossible to get by buying any product online..

If you remember I asked about http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ing-30-im.html in that month. At the time I was having near 30-40$ in my paypal and so thought to ask it in this forum before I invest it.

After members advice, I bought 3 domains in that month by doing free keyword research (Adword) but 2 domains got bad reputation in google and 1 hit as a jackpot..

Earlier when I joined this forum, every where I was reading that you have to do to get something. Stop reading & Act now !!

So, acted in that month only. Though my two sites is still not getting any traffic because I was not aware of competition term at that time and since adword tool gave me good monthly search detail, so started those sites.

But after I made that mistake, I learned a lot and I also learn why I am not getting traffic at all

My third website worked well for me and I covered my 30-40$ investment back in that month itself and that website is still working for me, still getting few sales every month. i.e. 10$ domain invest one time & then few sales = 30-60$ every month on autopilot.. that's pure profit. I am just updating that site once in a month.

I am totally new in IM i.e. just 4 months and 27 days old. Now From last 2 months, I am earning at least making 300-400$ every month. Although it is not much but it's best for me..

What I have not implemented Yet?
Members, in the above discussion thread, suggested me to use autoresponder. At that time, I was not knowing any thing about AUTORES.. but now I learned that they are the important key in IM Success. I will be doing that in next few month !

What I am doing this month?
I have bought Micro Niche finder this month and already got many ideas and a good niche to target. Will start work from June and will update about that after getting my first sale


Thank you very one who are participating in this forum because I have read many posts of this forum and learned many things. Still learning many ideas daily and all because of your contribution in this forum...

  • Well, done, did you make your money with adsense?
    • [1] reply
    • Thank you

      I am targeting affiliate products and till now I have not started any adsense based website. I will be doing it from next month so that I can also learn about adsense.
  • This is awesome. Any kind of profit online no matter how much it is feels like success after failing. Just keep this same attitude and you are sure to find as much success as you can handle online with time.
    • [2] replies
    • Thank you Now I know why failure is important for learning ! and yes profit is profit. The main reason why I am happy is, I am from INDIA & making money online in India is like a dream. I have hardly seen members from India who are in IM and doing it from India. There may be any, but they might be doing it secretly.

    • Thank you .. Will be creating more websites from next month based on low competitive keywords with less strength of competition & atleast 1000 searches per month.

      That's because of the power of this forum. Each forums posts is having different tips so more you will read, more you will explore.

  • Well done to you! I've read many posts that rave about the War Room but I'm afraid of information overload! Perhaps I should just do it?

    Well done again, it's great reading a success story!
    • [1] reply
    • There are huge information but not related to one niche. You will get information related to different niche. So, just read those informations which r related to your niche..

      I am sure you will love it. All those stuff shared free inside are premium outside.

  • you give an inspiration with what you did and what you have accomplished. You are heading in the right direction of IM, how I wish I could start my IM career soon. My money in Paypal is greater than what you did before but I don't know where to start... guys help...
    • [1] reply
    • I will suggest you to do a keyword research. Find a profitable niche with min 1000 visitors per month. Try to get a keyword related to buying stuff that's because you can monetize it with both adsense and affiliate and from both way you will get benefit. If you already have hosting then invest 10$ or less in .com domain name and build a website. You will start seeing some results in 10 days and then work on that. You will learn more.. Just start it now ! All the best! Let me know when you are going to implement it.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I average $100 a day now with affiliate marketing. 6 months after I started IM I was only averaging $10 a day with affiliate marketing.

    So pankajguptag to be making $300 to $400 a month, after only 4 months and 27 days is a superb achievement, keep it up, your $100 day is only just around the corner.

    I tried my hand at Adsense, and so did 2 other friends who are IMs, they made very little money. All three of us abandoned Adsense in pursuit of affiliate marketing, production and service businesses.
    • [2] replies
    • Thank you for your wishes. I think now I need to build more website to multiple this earning and I hope I could reach 100$ a day in next 5 months. I am trying best to learn more. If you could help me in some resources then I will be lucky

    • You will start getting the results if you are doing average. Since I have done avg work and got results then I am sure you can also get better results than me. Just keep trying and always think positive
  • Congratulations! In very short time you seems know what you are doing and focus. Not many people be able to do so due to lack of focus and do not know where to begin.

    Normally people start with high spirit and enthusiastic, but if thing doesn't go as intended they begin to quit and looking for another program, so jump from one program to another program won't bring you anywhere and end up quiting.

    Congratulation again and do tracking on whatever technique you do because then you can actually improve it.
    • [1] reply
    • Thank you & this is the only way to improve in any niche. I am trying. Still way to go.. :-) Need wishes of everyone
  • Yes, Being a war room member, it helped me a lot. I joined this forum in Aug 2010 but finally thought to upgrade my membership and finally got many favor. Learned a lot in short time and much more.. Warriors here are really very helpful for everyone..
  • Indeed! It is very interesting pankajguptag.

    So you most of your traffic is organic? What's your conversions like?

    • Hey Pankaj,

      Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your story. It is really motivating to see someone use limited resources to such good effect so keep working hard and updating us on your story as you enjoy more IM success.

      Thanks,

      Nadim.
      • [1] reply
    • Thank you. & Yes, you can also do the same. Just start working if you have not yet started.

      100% organic traffic. I did not yet tracking my conversion rate. Since I am earning 300+ then that is much at this time. Will do it in future, after taking newsletter thing. I am getting 10-15 sales in a month.
  • congratulations on your success. I've been in IM for about the same amount of time, though I have yet to make any profit, but I am learning how it all works. Despite not making any money yet, I know so much more than when I started, so I don't consider any of my efforts a waste.
    • [1] reply
    • Yes you are doing it right. You have to learn all the basics first before starting. Hope you will get more success than me in less time..
  • Excellent post and congratulations. Couldn't agree more about the War Room. There is so much good advice and free stuff in there that you can make your subscription back 10 times over.

    Hope your success continues.

    • Yes free membership is also very good. But I got many guides, ebooks, templates etc which is not freely available and that's why I am recommending.
      • [1] reply
  • Good job man. That's really impressive.
  • As far as adsense is concerned, it will fetch you very low income from Indian traffic unless you have a big traffic on your website.
    Keep it up
    • [1] reply
    • I am not targeting for Indian Traffic and also all the earning is coming from affiliate sale. There is no future of adsense for Indian traffic. Very less cpc.

    • I will create a niche based on the research with MNF which I have done already and will let you know about that in next few month. If I get 1-2 sale then it will cover the cost of MNF
  • good stuff, i like affiliate marketing too. Keep it up!
  • well seeing your achievement makes me hungrier to achieve IM success like you.
    the trouble nowadays is a lot of information is being consumed without action so it's useless unless action is taken.
    share your success with us and enjoy the journey!

  • I can give you this tip. Just pic a product which you like most. Do keyword research and if you get any keyword that is getting global monthly searches greater than 1000 or less than 20,000 and not yet targeted, create a website and do all seo stuff. You will start getting results within one month. Write 5-7 posts and bookmark them in Social bookmarking site. Make sure the competition is easy with those selected keyword.
  • Well done!

    You have learned the 'secret' of internet marketing... actually taking action earns more money than just reading about it

    I have to say that for IM the Warrior forum is an invaluable source of information, and those that join the War Room usually end up with more than the subscription value back just by checking out one or two threads!
  • Congratz! Now you know good points to scale.
  • Only serveral months you can make profit,your are great!
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Good job! If you see something working, think about how to replicate it. Then replicate it. If it works the second time, do it again and again. Don't go on to other things if you are doing well now. Get the maximum benefit while you can now. You can 'learn more' new stuff later.

  • Here I have updated about my earning Received 1077$ From Commission Junction - Affiliate Marketing Working!
  • Without this forum I seriously doubt I would be making an online living today. This is why I try to give back as much as possible.
    Moments like this one rock, don't they, pankajguptag?

    P.S. - Even with an ugly banner. But don't worry, help is on the way.

    • [1] reply
    • Yeah ! I always read on top sites that users like content and very less go with design. But since I got recommendation from a warrior then I thought to go with it.

      and yes, I am really feeling very happy & thanking everyone because of you guys only I tool action and got success. Still I am learning and much to go :-) Just need support & wishes from you all

      Keep motivating others ! because you are indirectly becoming the part of one's success !

  • Well done getting to that first stage of making money is pretty hard one. You definitely need an autoresponder to keep in touch with your subscribers, use Aweber. Hope all goes well in the future!
    • [1] reply
    • Yes, I am planning to use it asap. Till now not started with autoresponder. I need to give 2-3 days to understand how to setup autoresponder.
      • [1] reply
  • Haha! Great start.

    Now on to LEVERAGE. A lot of marketers don't understand the meaning of leverage, but in simple terms it means expansion to increase your sales, or simplification of your existing processes to make them more efficient and cheaper to use.

    Of course, when you meet the 100K barrier, you may approach me with a message and my consultancy can help... with a tiny fee.

    Advertisement aside, email-leads are a great way to spur on, but remember that list building from scratch can be quite tedious unless you have a "brand-name", a "trust-worthiness" or incentives.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • Thank you for your suggestion. I am trying to expand my websites and also learning.
      Yes, I will sure contact you once I crossed 100k mark. Hope to achieve it before 2013.
      Yes, very difficult. But have to start. I have started my blog How To Grow in Internet Marketing - Blog by Pankaj Gupta to keep A.M. related posts at once place based on my experience.
  • Was good reading about how you took action mate.

    Well done, and to do it on your last $30 to $40 in paypal.

    So thrilled for you, I know the wages in India well and earning that much per month for many is a full time job there.

    You should be proud of yourself.

    I'm about to buy MicoNicheFinder through your affiliate id to do some research on a new keyword tool.

    Enjoy the comms.

    • [1] reply
    • Actually After doing lots of research and analyzing the google search results I got an niche which is really hard to find in keyword tool because of less searches per month but that keyword will guaranteed send you few sales.

      I just created few sites and receiving the money..


      B} I am targeting individual products. I guess this will help you a lot
