No Excuses 3 - Official Thread



Will the Q&A be converted to a video to be posted on a4dhelp?
It still shows up as scheduled webinar.
 
Friday sessions are going to be very laid back and won't be posted for the public, only the attendees will get a copy. Speaking of which, I need to do that....
 
Okay, I just set up a recurring Friday webinar. Fridays at 2:00 pm CDT. Q & A and probably some bullshit. Depending on how much sleep / coffee I've had, probably some rants about something or another.

BTW, I apologize everyone for not being as active this past week. I'm trying to get some new campaigns off the ground and have been busy. As usual feel free to hit me up on AIM / PM if you need something though.

Is it 2 or 3pm CDT? It says 3pm on the A4D website :|. Just making sure so I don't miss it.
 
Is there a proposed date for the kick-off of NE3? I've been actually doing some AM work - just getting started instead of reading endlessly, and sometimes I don't check the board for a day or 2, and I don't want to miss the beginning.
 
Update Time

NoExcuse3 will kick off next Friday! I'll start a new thread with the details of the contest and such to announce it.

In the meantime, the signups are amazing! I really didn't expect it to get this huge. So, to be honest, I gave up on my spreadsheet somewhere around 100 people.

What I need from you:

If you need a domain AND hosting: PM me with your desired domain name, and a note that you also need it hosted and I'll get it purchased and setup on the server.

If you need just hosting: PM me with the URL you will be using and I'll setup your hosting account. Nameservers are: ns1.noexcuses3.com and ns2.noexcuses3.com

If you need just a domain name: PM me with the domain you need purchased and the nameservers you need me to set for them.

Please NOTE: If you are going to be using hosting through Ads4Dough (the sponsor) or you need a domain purchased, you will be required to promote ONLY Ads4Dough offers. This is only fair since A4D is putting up the cash for hosting and the domains. Anyone caught running another network's offers on A4D's servers will have their hosting account terminated immediately and they will be disqualified from the contest portion of NE3. And I'll sick Smaxor on you :)

Contest participants MUST run A4D offers. Again, since they are putting up the prize money (TBA) it's only fair you run their stuff. Also, there is no way to track your revenue on another network, right?

Also, I need those PM's by Wednesday. No later. If you miss the wednesday cutoff you will not get a domain / hosting package, but it won't disqualify you from participating.

Good Luck to everyone! I'll be around if you need me. AIM: thomson3242 is the easiest way to reach me, or through PM's.

Where
Right here, baby!

Who

You - the marketer
Wickedfire - the forum where we meet to discuss
Ads4Dough - affiliate marketing company that is sponsoring the contest portion
Erect - keyword research stud that is graciously offering free keyword reports to participants
SEO_Mike - Wickedfire moderator and glutton for punishment

Overview

No Excuses 3 is a community project to help budding affiliate marketers sharpen their skills and learn the ins and outs of the industry. The goal is to get people out of the "learning / reading" stage and into the "doing / marketing" stage. It's based off of personal experience that you can spend too much time reading and thinking and not enough time 'doing'. Hence, No Excuses.

To eliminate even trivial excuses such as "I can't afford a domain name" and "I can't afford hosting", Ads4Dough has taken up the mantle to provide these necessities out of their pocket. For keyword research, Wickedfire member Erect has offered a free report to every participant of NE3.

So, you can see, the bases are covered and it's up to the participants to hit that grand slam.

Erect's Keyword Offer
Due to the huge number of entries into NE3, Erect has asked your patience in delivering them. He'll post here shortly on how he'll handle the influx of reports. Remember, he's got a business to run as well and these reports are free. So, paid before free.

Rules
All participants wishing to join in the contest portion must signup with Ads4Dough.com and be accepted into their network. Be sure to mention that you are participating in the No Excuses 3 thread on Wickedfire. This should help expedite your application.

Contest participants must promote A4D offers.

All A4D affiliates may not violate their Affiliate Marketing Agreement

Contest participants need to "opt in" by entering their A4D affiliate ID into this form on A4DHelp.com

The participant with the most revenue after 30 days will be declared the winner.

Prize for the winner: $1000 USD check from Ads4Dough

Arthur! Da man! You know people think Jason owns the network, but Arthur's really the balls behind the operation :1bluewinky:

Arthur's such a badass, he got assigned my dad!

/edit/ I'm kidding about Arthur really being the owner. Just figured I should clarify since there are some n00bs reading this that may not think I'm kidding...

I doubt I would be much help, as I don't do PPC, but if there's something else I can do, Mike, hit me up on AIM.
