Nailled it, IM WORKS. Thanks WF!

36 replies
I accidently made this thread in the copywriting forum, but I got so much valuable feedback Im seriously glad I made the mistake!!

Anywho.. Im a noob, I used the free information on WF, using the Search Tool, read a bunch of marketing books and bought a $16 course (Russ Ruffino's Money Tree Method - no, Im not an affiliate). I haven't gone near WSOs or coaching of any kind.


I went against a lot of advice saying 'create a minimum viable product', and spent longer with the execution.. I had a few people say that the Photoshop niche was un-monetizable. By and large, the majority of advice and info I have received on here has been pure gold.

John Romaine in particular was very helpful - I never bought his coaching, but his advice has always been timely and welcome. I'd recommend checking him out: Bring the Donuts

Launch day - list of 250 people, no paid traffic:

$950USD in Sales

When I get the affiliates going, and move to PPC, I hope to dramatically increase that figure.

Thanks again guys for helping me along the way.

      Hey, congrats man.

      Its always nice hear of people achieving great results with their efforts.

      As you can see, taking action is all you need.

      Whoever told you that the photoshop niche is unmonetizable must be a joke.

      You can make a fortune with photoshop and the possibilities are endless.

      Since you are a "photoshop expert" i really suggest you to master your skills to the next level, take some time to learn the tricks and you could create tons of graphics that you can sell for huge profits.

      Keep it up!

        Hey Devid, really appreciate you stopping by and making a comment

        Im not in the 'graphics' game, Im a fine-artist - so the audience / niche is a little bit different. This is the kind of stuff I do, and I like to believe Im at that 'next level'.. but I always strive to get better

          Conz lol my bad dude U definitely are at that "next level". I didnt know you were such a badass photoshop designer until i checked your website. Your designs are simply STUNNING.

          You got talent dude.

          Am pretty sure you gonna make lots of money in this niche.

          Wish you an explosion of sales!

    Congrats Conzz. That's a great achievement. Wishing you more success.

    Many will be surprised to see a newbie making money. But I am sure, most who read this thread won't notice the taking action part, that resulted in you getting the results.

    Instead of going from one ebook to another ebook. You decided to take action on the first. Something that everyone should learn from.

    Nice work. It's amazing how you made that much money with a list of just 250 people. It just goes to show you how much more effective e-mail marketing is when your subscribers are really interested in your stuff.

    Congratulations. I haven't seen your product, but I have seen your graphics. As a Photoshop user myself I probably see details, good or bad, that most non-users would miss, and your graphic output is excellent. If your course is half as good you should do well.
