I Just Made $6190.22 In 2 Days - How Did I Do This?

(Scroll down to see the proof) Well, if that headline didn't catch your attention and get you to this blog, then I give up! Naa.. I will never give up. I think I have some pretty informative things to talk about on this blog and I am talking from experience. I do make good money every month from my niche marketing and internet marketing activities and I want to share my ideas with you guys.

How did I make that much money in 2 days?

It wasn't the work I did on 4th March that earned me the money. It was all the hard work I put in building up my niche and list. I usually do a promotion to my lists every month or every 2 months and I only ever recommend good quality information. If you recommend rubbish, you will end up with an unresponsive list.

The people signed up to my list initially because they were getting a free ebook. I then created a 10 part autoresponder course on the same topic as the ebook and set it to go out to them over the next 2-4 weeks. This helps build the relationship with the prospect. I also respond to every email I get! This is critical… If you ignore people because they asked you a question you cant answer, then they wont respect you! If you dont know the answer, either look it up or tell them you dont know. (Although if you're an expert on the subject, then you should really know the answer)

Once your list begins to grow, you can send out a weekly newsletter or a monthly newsletter offering free content, tips, ideas etc. Once every month or every 2 months, you can locate a high converting product and send an email out to your list recommending the product.

Here is a screen shot of my Clickbank account. As you can see, on the first day of the promotion I made $4,449.21 and on the second day I made $1,741.01. The product was sold through clickbank, for $197 with a 50% commission. I sent my email out to 7300 people, about 1100 people clicked through to the website, and I ended up with about a 5.5 conversion rate, which is fairly good.

Clickbank Commission

Now, imagine if you had a list of 100000 people and 10% clicked through to the site, that would be a lot of sales and a lot of commission. This is the kind of success the 'big guys' are having! They can make $100,000 in a day easily!

I only promoted this product as an affiliate, but the guy who wrote the ebook did a pre-launch and orchestrated all his affiliates to send out the email on the day of launch. On day 1, he had made over $50,000 profit! I'm sure that will soar to over $100,000 when he does his follow up emails etc.

I Just wanted to share the story with you to show that it is possible! If you have any questions, please post a comment at the bottom of this post.

If you are interested in how to make money with clickbank, I wrote a pretty in depth article recently about the whole process. I also wrote a post the other day about how to make a few simple changes and boost your income dramatically. Hopefully you will learn something from either of these posts.

Hi Anton,

Thats a shame, are there other Russian affiliate networks you could use?

I just joined clickbank and am dipping into the world of affiliate marketing.

How would I be able to start an email list and actually get people to join?

I don't think I am knowledgable enough to write any ebooks right now.

Hi Forest,

You could look for ebooks, products or reports with free resale rights, contact other webmasters who have a free ebook and ask if you could give it out as a free bonus. (They will benefit as they will have their website link in, and you will benefit because you can capture leads). You could go to http://www.elance.com and hire a writer to write you a free report or ebook. 2000 words would cost about $70, 500 words would cost about $20-$30 or less.

You would then set up an autoresponder account - I recommend Aweber in this article http://ryanshamus.com/category/make-money-with-clickbank/

Upload your free report to Aweber, and put a form on your website to capture the leads.

Hope that helps. Let me know how you get on :-)
