Milestone: My First $100 Day in Affiliate Marketing
written by Anthony Dinh
Some of you may be wondering…Anthony, where’ve you been? I know I haven’t been blogging much lately, but I’ve been busy learning and experimenting with affiliate marketing. To tell you the truth, it’s a much more lucrative way of making money than just blogging, and you can make money much quicker too. True, it’s also riskier too, but hey, no risk no reward right?
I started running my first campaign a couple months ago, and I was consistently losing money by blowing my budget daily. Affiliate marketing is a fickle animal, and you just gotta keep trying because chances are, you will fail before you succeed. Sure, you hear amazing stories of total noobs who are banking 5-figs within a week of starting, but they are few and far in between.
Finally, yesterday I hit a major milestone, a goal that I’ve been chasing for 2 months now…my campaigns generated $100! Some of you may be laughing and thinking that it’s not much, but hey, that’s an extra $3k/month if I can keep it up. I was so excited that I decided to make my first video blog today on my way to work to tell you guys about it. I used my phone cam, so you’ll have to excuse the poor quality.
I’m gonna let the campaign run for about a week. After that, I plan on optimizing it by pruning and negative matching any non-converting keywords and domains that are eating up my profits. Then I’ll scale it by throwing in more long and short-tailed keywords, branching out onto other search engines such as MSN, Google and social networks to drive more traffic, increasing my bids to gain a higher ad position, and optimizing my adcopy and landing page. If everything works out, all I have to do is wash, rinse and repeat the whole process in order to achieve the same success with other niches.
