How I lost a lot and made it back in 6 months.... New Here.

Hi WarriorForum!

I've finally decided to join this forum. My name is Tom. I said to myself the best way to introduce a new face around here would be to bring an awesome story with it. So, here it goes...

I've had an Internet business for about 8 years now. It has changed over the years. Since 2008 my business has mainly been around 30 high volume sites that bring in most of their traffic from SEO. It was all affiliate based income, which was nice because I had no overhead. The business was doing well, earning well into six figures each year, and because of the little overhead I only needed 1 extra person to work for me.

Long story short... Panda/Penguin crushed my business. I mean crushed.
I lost 80% of my earnings over a 3 month span from April - June. I was devastated and frustrated. Almost even thought about getting a J.O.B.

Over the summer I began to diversify my traffic more. Mainly using paid traffic, things like PPV, PPC, and Media Buying. I studied successful campaigns and copied them to the T, put my own twists on them, and came out on top. I moved away from an affiliate based income, and started to build my own products that I could control.

This was the best move I have ever made.

Now with my new paid traffic skills and my own products I'm bringing in 100% of that commission. I'm happy to say that 6 months after my devastating destruction that Google caused me, I finally replaced that income that I worked so hard for. Moral of my story, don't give up, don't put all your eggs in one basket, and keep your head up throughout the trouble times.

Anyways.

I'm Tom, and I'm a Trafficolic.

    Tom,

    That is an awesome story and very inspiring.

    I always tell people here in the forum to never put all their eggs into one basket.

    I would recommend to you since you created your own product, to set up an affiliate program for it so that you can get a lot of people over the next few years promoting it for you.

    Thanks for sharing such a great story.

  • Is that correct ... its only taken you 6 months to create a $250k income?

    Thats pretty good going, I doubt many could report such quick progress.

      The idea is he had 30 affiliate funnels that relied on SEO. They used to earn him $250K.

      When his traffic tanked he finally started paying for traffic. He was able to take the paid traffic and send it to the same funnels with a profit of $250K. I assume that's what he was saying.

      So he didn't exactly build the income in six months. He replaced the traffic sources over six months.

        This is correct. I also replaced some of the affiliate funnels by making my own products for those particular segments. Instantly increasing my earnings.

    Great story and welcome to the Warrior Forum. Very inspirational to see that you were able to bounce back like that with such a vengeance. Which paid traffic method brought you the most success, PPV, PPC or Media Buying? Do you think you would ever go back to selling affiliate products?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7594090].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author SMB
    Hey Everyone,

    Thanks for the comments. For Paid Traffic, I have found that PPC provides the most conversions, but not necessarily the best ROI. Media Buying can get you really cheap quality traffic, and if you funnel that traffic correctly you can do wonders. PPV traffic is alright, it's alot of testing, but you can get really creative with it sometimes.

      Read the OP again. It took eight years to create everything. The six months was to replace the traffic the Panda ate and bounce back. Still quite an accomplishment, but not quite so Get Rich Quick...

    Amazing.... Good job on keeping your head together, and coming out back on top!

    Another moral here: so many get caught up on using just SEO for their traffic. That's a HUGE mistake. Even if you're 100% legit in your link building and content, there's absolutely no garauntess your rankings will not get crushed from algo updates/negative SEO/what ever.

    Knowing how to drive traffic from many different sources is absolutely critical to long term success.

    Cheers Tom

    First of all, nice and inspiring story. There are more than one lessons for internet marketers to derive from your story:

    1. Don't give up. Keep trying.
    2. Every adversity also brings about with it potential for something new and much bigger.
    3. Don't put all eggs in one basket. Diversify.
    4. Google is not a reliable traffic source, specially with all the games it is playing from the past 1 year.
    5. Paid traffic and product creation are very good avenues which affiliates should look into. You can make a huge amount of money with these. If you are not trying them, you are missing out on very good long-term business models.

    And good for us since we need not go through it again.

    But some people are still attracted to "free" traffic from SEO and they pay the price with YEARS of their time

    I think you're incredibly lucky or full of crap. You just made some products and bought some ads now your back on top? I doubt you're telling the truth. I would say 99% of the people on here do this as a side gig and almost no one makes a living.

    I've been on here and other forums for years, made countless info products, programs, unique sites etc and purchased 1000's worth of traffic and made squat. I highly doubt you made anything or very little.

    I think he should show proof or someone should delete this thread!

    One of the best lessons from your story is that:

    1. Do not put your eggs only in one basket
    2. The SEO traffic is not reliable for long term success
    3. Learn ppc, ppv and media buying techniques selling your own products.

    Diversification is the key point here. Your story is very helpful and illustrative.

    Interesting story.

    So how did you replace that income (250k) with products? That's a huge amount for someone who does products.

    Can you elaborate a bit more on the product part? What sort of products are we talking about? Were they related to your area of expertise (if you had any)? It's quite an amazing story, in all honesty, because that's the highest amount I've heard for someone doing products, and I'm talking of amounts I know are verified as I've heard other IMers claim higher figures that are made-up/lies; 250k in 6 months is big.

    I believe I talk on behalf of everyone when I say that we're thrilled to know a bit more on the product part and give us some motivation

    Thanks for any further sharing of your story.

    Products:

    Niche Software (mainly), Memberships, and tangible items (holiday season).

    Where to start?

    Media Buying is all about experience, it's about losing money to gain data and then using that data to optimize your campaigns. I lose about $1,000 on every new project just to gain some audience data to ensure I'm about to spend big dollars on the right site placements.

    $250k is not a lot of money. Maybe we come from different neck of the woods, but in the world of bigger business this is not a lot of money.

      Perhaps $250k is not a lot of money is the fantasy world of IM forums where everyone claims to be a millionaire without backing up their figures. In the real world (verified claims), it is a lot of money considering you have basically no overheads, and considering it was made in 6 months and in your particular case; a case which you haven't really described despite the questions asked.

      So, after getting crushed by Google's algorithm, how did you suddenly adapt and make those products? Niche software? Are you a programmer or did you outsource it? I'm interested in how you adapted to this; we hear here a lot of rag-to-riches stories, which is wy people tend to remain skeptic to stories like yours.

      I, for one, would love to hear more on how you adapted

      "$250k is not a lot of money. Maybe we come from different neck of the woods, but in the world of bigger business this is not a lot of money."
      Do you contradict your self with these sentence? ... or maybe, I didn't understand something...

      And just one more comment:
      For me, to lose something, means to have it first.
      When you don't earn as much as you planned, I'm not sure you can name it as loss.

      Otherwise, great and inspiring story. Thanks for sharing it.

        I can't belive there are so many people saying that 250.000 $ is not a lot for a big business , there are so many big business that would go under if they would loose 250.000 $ , what many of you dont realize is that even big busniesses have debts , bank loans ,employees , insurances , taxes etc, you can't just loose 250.000 and not have a problem , and also to get back on the story , you lost 250.000 of what? of potential income? or investement? if you were making lets say 250.000 a year why would you loose that couse google went panda on you? you don't re-invest what you make? or you are 18 and spend it all on gentlemen's clubs .

    Hey Tom,
    You story is very motivational.
    We all know we shouldn't put all the eggs in the same basket, but we are still doing it.
    I think the most difficult part for you was to figure out how to get a product supplier. Was it?

    I've finally decided to join this forum. My name is Tom. I said to myself the best way to introduce a new face around here would be to bring an awesome story with it. So, here it goes...

    I've had an Internet business for about 8 years now. It has changed over the years. Since 2008 my business has mainly been around 30 high volume sites that bring in most of their traffic from SEO. It was all affiliate based income, which was nice because I had no overhead. The business was doing well, earning well into six figures each year, and because of the little overhead I only needed 1 extra person to work for me.

    Long story short... Panda/Penguin crushed my business. I mean crushed.
    I lost 80% of my earnings over a 3 month span from April - June. I was devastated and frustrated. Almost even thought about getting a J.O.B.

    Over the summer I began to diversify my traffic more. Mainly using paid traffic, things like PPV, PPC, and Media Buying. I studied successful campaigns and copied them to the T, put my own twists on them, and came out on top. I moved away from an affiliate based income, and started to build my own products that I could control.

    This was the best move I have ever made.

    Now with my new paid traffic skills and my own products I'm bringing in 100% of that commission. I'm happy to say that 6 months after my devastating destruction that Google caused me, I finally replaced that income that I worked so hard for. Moral of my story, don't give up, don't put all your eggs in one basket, and keep your head up throughout the trouble times.

    Anyways.

    I'm Tom, and I'm a Trafficolic.
    Brilliant, JUST Brilliant Tom!

    Like the bit about you *almost* had to get a J.O.B!

    Even better that you are now making B.A.N.K once more

    Similar thing happened to myself when I invested *heavy* in domain names in 85, forgot to renew some of them... not all! THEN bam... worth nothing, them 10 years later, most were changing hands at $500k + EACH!

    Got back into it, re-renewed the ones that I nearly lost, have not looked back since then...

    So can be done and can be done more than ONCE!

    Wow, great job SMB, and welcome to warrior forum!

    Nope, you cannot rely on Google. I have a love/hate relationship with Google. I love google chrome for my browser and I cannot stop using google for search, maps, and images. But they banned me from adsense very shortly after I signed up and I hate the fact that they're trying to take over the world (lol). I don't trust anything that tries to control everything and become a super power.

    However, my sites never saw a drop from panda or penguin and I think it's because I don't try so hard to cheat the system. If you are actually writing good content, I think Google can tell, so the big google updates will not hit your site like it does for all the super SEO'd websites/pages.

    And I agree with many others here that you cannot keep all your eggs in one basket. Having many traffic sources and many income streams is the best way to go because then if one fails, or even just drops for a period of time, it will affect you very little.

    Great story Tom!
    I fully agree that 250k is not that much for a business.

    Maybe you could realize a course on media buying? Sounds like you know a lot about it

    What a great post, i really like it, that why is we need to look for the benefit every situation may carries, because every adversity carries the seed of equivalent or grater advantage, only if the person involves try to check the situation with open mind.

    Great job, Tom!

    I love inspirational stores like this. I agree that relying solely on SEO will be detrimental. I've moved on from free to paid traffic long ago and the results have been nothing short of outstanding.

    Am I alone on OP's questionable intent here?



    one Authority - pretty obvious isn't it?

    two Liking - look at the thanks in his original post, and there is no real content there for others besides the obvious that paid advertising works better than free optimization.
    step three scarcity

    three Scarcity - I'm busy guys, Ill get back to your questions later, in the mean time, keep this thread going by asking questions and liking my first post.




    I feel like I am reading an example unfolding from a supplement to Robert Caldini's book.
