Why This Happens With Me Only?

Here is my sad story:
1.I spent 15 months creating a 1000 suscribers list.
2.All were targeted costumers.
3.Made some mistake In affliate link and loaded the autoresponder with follow up messages.
4.No sale!!

    I couldn't tell you why that has happened but it certainly doesn't happen only with you.

    Did you test the 7 messages against others or did you just try them and now you think you've failed?

    What mistakes did you make with the affiliate link and what happened when you corrected that?

    Respectfully I'd grow a thicker skin and get back to work and testing what works and what doesn't.

    What happened to the 8-10k a month you were earning?

    I was making $8k-10k per month by my Internet Marketing Business.
    This thread sounds remarkably similar to the sales letter in your sig. With respect, you had 8-10k a month then you stopped all that to invest in one product that flopped.

    Why on Earth would you do that and how did you turn it all off?

    Hi Ashish,
    I know it is sad but you have 2 options... you can feel sorry for yourself or go back to work...you haven't lost your subscribers. They are still there , so load up your affiliate link for another related product or something of value and send a broadcast....these things happen to everyone in their internet marketing life...

    You must change your autoresponder provider or your autoresponder emails plus the products that you are promoting.

      Am I the only one wondering why you waited until you had 1000 subscribers to start promoting products.

      Surely you would have realized your mistake if you used an auto-responder for what it's actually good for.

        Ashish,

        You really ought to answer my original question.

        How did you manage to stop your 8-10k a month earnings so you could do the total failure of a venture in your signature?

        Doesn't make much sense, unless of course your sales letter is a bit of a pork pie.

            You have your answer right there. Go back to the point where you were making money.

            As of step # 4 you were making a living from IM, therefore repeat steps 1 - 4, and omit steps 5, 6, and 7. You already have a plan that you know works, just work it

              I agree! You shouldn't invest a lot of money until you're sure a market/product will be profitable.

              Build a list; form a relationship and see how they respond to affiliate offers. Only when you see $$$ should you try to go with expensive training courses and hiring talent.

              Till then, identify a market. Tightly focus on a small sub-niche in that market. And bootstrap like hell!

              5.No sale!!
              So these were two different events, one that ended when the "product flopped" and the second event that ended with your sending out a bogus affiliate link to your list (different list than before? Different niche?).

              Is there a reason why correcting the affiliate link and resending the emails is not an option? Or have you already tried this and it failed?

              I still say you need to go back to where you were seeing success and start from there, be it with your list of 1000 or the first list of 1700. You have two possible income streams that you can tweak/revive without that much effort - you've already got more assets that probably 80% of the warriors here - you should be able to make bank.

    As I understand, your affiliate link didn't work and people simply couldn't get to sales page?

    If that's the deal, it's crystal clear, simple mistake. If it's not, you need to elaborate a bit more.

      It is a shame you did not include the correct aff. link. Take it as a lesson learned and always check links.

      When I started out, I made Amazon links manually and did not include the country code (-20 for the US) at the end. As a result, no credit for any sales. All part of the learning process.

        A trained copywriter can usually get much better results than if you wrote the copy yourself.

          Right.

          So you need to sell the house.

          I thought this morning I was 36, turns out I must have been born yesterday or something.

          What advice can we try and help you with exactly, maestro?

          Incidentally, you explained to Ken you were a millionaire up until one year ago. Why did you say you were new to internet marketing when you're clearly a very experienced marketer who's made millions.

          I've yet to make my first million, I'm humble enough to admit, so I doubt I could provide you any assistance.

                      Tell you what then, turn off the signature and change the page to a nice post about how to avoid your mistake - instead of massively over hyping your friends membership stuff which doesn't appear to have made you a dime.

                      Then you'd really be helping people and not looking like a signature spammer.

                  By rebuilding what you have of a reputation here.

                  I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant a million rupees, sadly you you're using the dollar sign and I fail to understand why anyone who made over 10k a month and was a millionaire can only think of building a list of Warrior forum members to get back to where they were. Not exactly thinking outside the box is it?

                  Like I said though, I was born yesterday so I'm not quite understanding this, funnily enough, no one else in the thread is either.

    I say learn from your mistakes, remember to NOT do that again, since you paid a amount of money for this lessons.. you just bought yourself a lesson, so be grateful for it and move on.

    Mr. Poopniah,

    I have to give you a little credit, not much but a little. You have mastered the ability to mislead folks. Of course all that really takes is to be a liar. Just one of your threads from 5 days ago, http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5938082
    shows you have mastered affiliate marketing in 5 days. Amazing! Truly Amazing!
    (BTW that was pointed out by Mick Meaney in post # 19 above)

    Your original post in the same thread was as follows:
    Hi,
    I am new at Internet Marketing.I left my boring 9-5 job 3 days ago.
    I want to start earning from Internet Marketing But where to start from.
    Ho to start my Online business.
    Suggestions Please.
    Thanks for the help.
    And you claim to be a Millionaire Marketer in your signature. In my not so humble opinion I believe you forget which lie you tell first.

    You disrespect yourself and you disrespect the other members of the WF. Mr. Poop, please stop the disrespect.

          He is from India! With a few thousand bucks you can be considered a millonaire.

            True to be a millionaire in India (1 million rupees) would be about $20,000 US.
