How to go from $3K to $50K in 1 year?

Hey. Great question.

I would say, make a goal to produce one new product every month. Make sure you get every buyer on your lists.
In addition, make a lite version of each product as a freebie (even make it a re-brandable report if it is an info product) and use those to build your lists (with your sales page as the confirmed page).

Put your products into a members site and make them (and future products) free for the top tier. All subscribers get their freebie in the members area as a free member. Next (paid) level they get all your products and future products at 50%.

You will then be creating a spiders web of customers and products as well as continuity.

With lists and a product each month, you will soon not rely on Google for your buyer traffic.

Just my 2c.

Hey man, I think if you are going to focus on ONE thing then you should scale up product creation...

Like you mentioned, you're making money selling a niche product so what if you added some upsells to that product? You would probably make a lot more money...

Instead of creating more low-priced products you should think about developing some higher ticket upsells to add into your sales funnel.

Just my opinion

OK, so you found out that you can earn money online with affiliate marketing. The next thing you want to do is to increase your efforts and stay consistent.

Before you move on, let me explain something.

Whether you are promoting your own offer or others, it is always a good idea to promote products that can bank you residual income.

If you were to offer a product that pays you $25 per sale and over the next year you generate 100 sales, that would be $2500 that you earn.

What if you took the same product and offered it as a monthly membership fee where you create great value to your members each month. If you have 50 people stick it out for 1 year and pay the $25 monthly fee, your income would go from your original $2500 for the whole year to $15,000.

You can achieve that if you work with programs that pay you residual income just like I mentioned above.

Alex, you should never rely on them for traffic in the near and far future. There was one guy here who relied on them each month. He made like $50,000 per month. One day Google slapped his site and his income went down to $10,000.

Stories and stories like that everywhere online.

You should do article marketing, forum marketing, video marketing, PPC, solo ads. You don't ever want to put all your eggs into one basket.

You should focus on optimizing your sales funnel so that it converts as highly as possible. Since you are already getting traffic, this should not be your main priority. You might be able to make a lot more money off the traffic that you are getting right now by adding more value in your sales funnel.

"Lists" and "SEO" and "products" are all terms that relate to what you want: More Customers

You've got to talk to real people constantly and find out what you can provide, find out what they liked or disliked about your product, and just truly engage with as many people as you can. It's not going to automated in the beginning. Then you build more processes as you grow.

the key is to have a plan.. and also you you have to set up GOALS for the whole year!

This is what I have learned from one well known IMer:

Goal #1: Simplify Business To Make It More Relaxing, Less Work and Yet More Successful By Working Smarter, Not Harder

Goal #2: Increase Lead Flow, Increase Average Price Per Sale, Increase Lifetime Customer Value

Goal #3: A.B.L. – Always Be Launching


Just stick to the plan and what ever it is just keep in mind to allways grow your list

Just focus on building that list, it's the key. I'm living proof.

Hi everyone,

You are absolutely right the list is the key!

And don't relay on google for your traffic!

All the best

Selling.

Nothing else you do will bring you the money you're after.


Steve

that's big target. U should hire some people to help you so you don't need to awake 24/7

$50k in a year isn't that big of a target. I beleive that if you can make $1 online
you can make $50.. it's all about scaling!

Build your list but also get as many buy buttons online a you can. That's where
you will find money come from.. Treat your list well.. don't water it down
by promoting too many things of others.. provide great content that builds you up.

All the best!

I think I might start following your blog Alex

I'm still trying to find a way to profit from clickbank.

With 99% of your traffic coming from google I'd leverage that and start getting traffic from social media and build up your audiences there. Keep building your list. That way if another Google slap starts slappin' then you have a nice big list you can market to.

Good that you have 3-4 products in the works - ensure that they become part of your funnel.
