After a year in the game, I have started to really earn some real cash, which is the best feeling in the world. Here's my story.

I was introduced to affiliate marketing in early 2007 when I stumbled across Wealthy Affiliate. It looked promising, so I signed up @ $29.99. I read everything there, and got the basic concept of affiliate marketing. I set up a few campaigns with Adwords, and Clickbank and failed miserably. I lost around $100, and got extremely discouraged, and decided to give up.

I then found DP.

The next 3 - 4 months I spent reading DP, and buying every promising e-book, to be upset every single time because I was reading the same shit in every one. I made a few proxies, and flipped em, made a few bucks, but nothing special.

I felt like shit knowing all these fucking 'gurus' were making so much damn money selling their shitty shit.

In July I finally found a way to make some cash. I made about $20k in 3 months promoting some stuff in a very unethical way. I did not feel good about this money.

In August I found WF, but didn't end up registering till around December, I think.

I noticed a lot of people were making an huge amount of cash, every single day. I decided to take on PPC again with all the money I had made.

Ever since January I have been aggressively testing PPC. I failed many times, and found 2 profitable campaigns that have been running on auto for about 2 months providing me with around $3k profit a month.

Last month I decided to try something; break into a highly competitive niche. I found an offer, and some highly competitive, and highly searched keywords. I set a budget of $50 a day, with a $4 CPC, to achieve the 3rd position. I went to bed.

I woke up to check my stats and I had produced over $300 in revenue, I was stoked. I upped my budget, CPC, expanded keywords, and took keywords out that were not performing.

This campaign now makes me $X,XXX every day. I had finally found success.

To all the newbies reading this, this is what I learned in the past year.

- Don't waste your time buying ebooks
- Don't waste your time surfing DP
- Persistence pays off, big time
- Know in your mind that you will succeed, and you will
- Don't be afraid to spend money
- Don't give up

I know I love reading people's stories, they inspire me, so I thought I'd share mine. This post is only for inspiration, nothing more, nothing less.

Best to all of you, fuckers.

Congrats. I went through my tipping point not to long ago and it's a great feeling.

Make sure you work on setting up an S-Corp for tax reasons now you're making the big bucks.

A nice story. No pathetic moral, no wet works...

Normally, I find success stories insipid... Here, they're not so bad, because they're not coming from douches that want you to buy their ebook

It's like I say, the only ebooks that are worth the money are the ones that are story fiction

Congrats dude. I am happy for you. Truely inspiring to be making 5 figures per day. After reading many posts on this forum, it seems alot of profit is made through sending PPC traffic rather than SEO traffic to campaigns. Am I right or do you're experience differ?

Could I ask wether your promoting products or PPL stuff?

SeoReborn

actually, are you sending traffic to an affiliate program or you set up your own product?

Congratulations on your success! I love reading success stories, they motivate me. I lost about 1500$ of hard earned cash on projects and money-making campaigns in the past year and I still don't make money. It sucks to be me.

shithappens

who cares you can get shit to work w/ affiliate products... just look at what others are doing.

_poto_

nice and congrats...

kinda makes me want to branch out from media buys and start playing with PPC again... think I will actually...

Traffic is traffic imo. However, affiliates have a habit of optimizing for on page conversion more than SEOs. Believe me, certain keywords can create a significant profit. a VERY significant profit.

True. I think large amounts of profit is made in PPC because of instant traffic (unlimited once value of the visit > cpc). While SEO requires alot of time to generate compared to ppc. It seems I need to move out into ppc. Man, I am in my comfort zone.

Congratulations I am still a little bit behind you Making $1,5k a month as well pretty much on autopilot and just started again with PPC today (investing the money I now make monthly).

Traska

It's funny how all of us with morals and a brain go through a wandering process for a while similar to yours and then end up here.

Keep up the good work!

Quick and inspiring story. Thanks! Hope to post my story one day soon.

motto

Remember when I first checked the reports and found out I earned $13. Yes thirteen bucks.
I celebrated with my girlfriend a whole weekend after that.
It's a huge moral compensation to squeeze an earning with $0 invested.
I'm still trying to figure out how to make the big bucks, but hey!- i know it works and for now it's enough to pay rent.

motto

Same goes here- way to go!

Rascagua

you cant be seriously asking that. on your second post too.

No one should be asking that, especially at WF. I was going to ad the following to my post, but then I thought "NAWH, THIS IS WF NO NEED!" Guess not.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I am direct linking as well with a 30% conversion rate @ a $32.00 payout. ;D

turbolapp

I'm sure what he really meant to say was, "What's your bank account number and atm pin? plzthnxbye."
