Here's What I Did Without a Plan ...
Well, here I am, seven years into this great journey. When I began I genuinely had no plan at all. But I had a vision and it is getting closer to becoming reality every day.
For the past seven years, I have visited the Warrior Forum every day and if ever I found something I had not tried, I gave it a shot. The result is a healthy, passive 5 figure income. It is not yet the 6 figures I set out to achieve, but that is definitely coming.
Here's what I actually did without a proper plan:
- Built my Main Site Using FrontPage/Expressions Web (Not Recommended)
- Wrote Lots of Quality Articles for the Site
- Translated them into 12 different Languages (More Pages/little extra work)
- Joined Adsense/Put it on my Site (Instant Cash - cha-ching!)
- Put Google Site Search on the Site (Highly Recommended)
- Tried Some Affiliate Programs (Most were very poor)
- Tried Adwords (Could not make it work for me)
- Wrote a Lot of Books (I love writing!)
- Created my Own Products for Sale (Did I say I love writing?)
- Created my Own Banners
- Paid People to Write for Me (Articles & Books)
- Outsourced Graphic Creation for my Products (Not my Strong Area)
- Outsourced Voice-Overs for My MP3 Products (Found a Great Guy!)
- Started an Affiliate Program (Using ClickBank it was Very Easy)
- Wrote an Affiliate Marketing Course for My Affiliates
- Bought PLR for Many Other Books (to use as Give-aways)
- Gave Lots of Them Away for Free (for traffic & links)
- Gave Master Resale Rights Away to Some (for traffic & links)
- Sold Master Resale Rights With Others (for traffic & links)
- Made Some of them Rebrandable (as affiliate tools)
- Submitted to DMoz Directory (Recommended)
- Built Links using Article Marketing
- Built Links using Forum Marketing
- Built Links using Social Bookmarking
- Submitted my feeds to RSS Directories
- Submitted my site to Web Directories
- Did a Bit of Reciprocal Linking (Not Recommended)
- Started a Directory of Related Sites
- Tried some Joint Ventures (Difficult to find Quality Partners)
- Tried Newsletter Advertising
- Did a Press Release
- Tested Various Price Points for My Products (Recommended)
- Tested Various Product Bundles (Recommended)
- Tested One Time Offers (I don't like them & don't use them now)
- Tested Up-Selling and Cross-Selling (Not doing it presently)
- Tried a Few Blog Carnivals (Not great results)
- Used Various Article Distribution Services (Was not Overly Impressed)
- Started the Inspiration Newsletter (Good Move!)
- Created our Free Courses
- Created my Blog (Another Good Move!)
- Created my Video Section (Just for Fun)
- Started My Own Channel on YouTube
- Created Our Resource Section (Good Move)
- Started a Forum (Hard Work with Moderation and the Spammers)
- Forged Strategic Partnerships with Related Quality Sites (Recommended)
- Studied/Learned Copywriting (Another Good Move!)
- Created Approx 12 Other Sites just to Try-out My Ideas
- Created a Blog Network (Again Hard Work with Moderation)
- Created/Launched the eWriterPro Viral Campaign (Success!)
- Added Tell a Friend Scripts and Buttons (Recommended)
- Added Social Sharing Buttons (Little Effort for the Advantage)
- Submitted to Feedburner (Recommended)
- Submitted to Technorati (Recommended)
- Syndicated My Content to various Sites
- Accepted Every Offer to be Interviewed
- Accepted Every Offer to Write for Someone Else's Product
- Did Some Guest Blogging
- Stopped Looking for the Magic Key
Result: I am giving up the day job soon - can't wait! Imagine what I'll be able to do when I am full time. Anyway, I hope this gives a few people some ideas.
