dude, congrats for really putting all this work into it...what confuses me is that you've been going at it for 2 months and still are negative 83 bucks. are you going at it through seo or ppc?
good idea conversion.
makes sense lol. no i do not use directory's.
seo
my bidvertiser payment is coming up soon. i edited the store and coupons on the track site.
I've now read through this from start to finish and am very impressed with your perseverance. It's really encouraging to see that you're sticking with it even having barely made a cent after two months.
I can totally relate, because I feel like I've been building wordpress sites forever but never able to generate the necessary traffic to convert. Then again, I've not been writing posts specifically targeting cpa offers. I've been attempting affilate marketing for 18 months now and I'm beginning to see results (£49 so far this month from EPN) but nothing very spectacular.
Following threads like these gives me motivation to stick at it and keep diversifying and repeating. I truly believe you reap what you sow, so all your hard efforts will eventually pay off. Keep at it.

I'm about to try this.Originally Posted by conv3rsion
Write posts promoting cpa offers. Don't just stick up a banner and expect conversions.
so how much traffic do you get from ezine articles, you posted that you are getting 50-100/day "mostly from ezine articles", however when your articles were accepted you got only 8 visitors. Shouldn't it be initial traffic boost at the begining and less visitors later?
day 61
thank you, keep at it.
that was an initial boost that i wasnt aware of when i started. i get about 10-20 a day from it still though.
day 61 Summary:
-missed day 60
-my computer has been really messed up. my keyboard's shift keys don't work anymore [already tried diagnosing it] so now i have to copy the at symbol all the time. gets really annoying....
-officially been 2 months
-paid for the 1000 directory submissions which was 13.99
-i used to do these ppc sites [bux.to, neobux, etc that crap] and my buxto payment actually has been waiting over a year at a balance of 70.8 dollars so i should be getting paid soon lol.

i'm gonna be gone soon for a long time. basic training is 2 months; then i only get 2 weeks of break before tech school which is a couple more months. sucks leaving for a while there still tons of stuff i haven't gotten to do yet.
a learned a lot through this thread and i can't wait to get my air force career going. i'm gonna save up and buy an alienware labtop then start this up again.
by that time- my sites should be doing a lot better with traffic as the backlinks and such start kicking in. plus the search engines like older sites. my seo on both sites is really good. theres probably just keywords missing in the content here and there. trackfieldevents is doing awesome for a few key phrases.
day 61 Summary:
-spent 4 dollars on backlinks by akhanna18.
-my stores, from what my affiliate networks are telling me, are starting to get some clicks now. hopefully conversions soon. have yet to make my first sale but its getting close
-bidvertiser payment coming up soon.
-maybe bux.to will finally pay me the 70 dollars while i'm at basic. there up to april 1st. there an entire year and a month behind in payments.
Questions Still Lingering in my brain:
-have 5 dollars in google adwords...what should i do with it?
Future Projections
-basic training; hate my sites just sitting there. its like i'm gonna miss them lol and u guys of course.

lemons884 join a CPA network.
Find a paid survey CPA that pays out $1.50 or $2
Write articles and submit to ezinearticles.com then in the byline, link it to your landing page. (don't direct link)
Submit around 10-15 articles.
Realistically --- you should be able to make $30 your first month. Then $30 etc etc Or $50-$100 per month.
(article traffic really never stops, it may wax and wane)
Breaking factor: how good your copy is, how well written your article is, how well you SEO'd the article, and how good your landing page is.
Good luck bro.

thanks for the advice amanda.
day 63 Summary:
-today i'm gonna change my 6packnow site. give it a new theme and have it target a cpa offer. i'm gonna put some testimonials, reviews and everything for one product. the cpa offer is 35 dollars for one lead. the 6pacnow site is getting 80-100 searches a day now from google so i think that is enough to start making some conversions. of course i'm not gonna make conversions like i am now just throwing the banner up. heres the link if you can't find it www.6packnow.net
-have to find the right product with the right landing page so i'm looking all over shareasale at the moment.

day 64 Summary:
-comment on 6packnow said someone bought a few products. maybe it doesn't show up in the affiliate network right away because i still have 1 dollar on shareasale
-new theme for 6packnow.net ; it was done by italianbull and looks awesome. you can find him in the sell/buy/trade section i think he does good work. he also did my track site.
-thats all for now, i'm gonna work on the website a bit. fix the store up a bit, promote a cpa offer, do other little work. i'm getting a good flow of traffic.
Questions Still Lingering in my brain:
-maybe theres a chance i am getting sales but its not showing up in the affiliate network yet...
