So I've lost quite a bit of money trying my hand at affiliate marketing off and on for the past few months. I've been doing a lot of stock investing, but the returns aren't as high as I'd like since I only have a little over a thousand dollars now that I've been able to invest.
I tried the acai berry ads on facebook a few months back, but those flopped for the most part.
I tried making my own websites and driving traffic towards them, but my I guess my ads weren't targeted right or maybe the sites weren't that great, but those flopped too.
IQ tests ads, dating site ads, force factor ads, blogs, all flopped
After reading one of the posts on wicked fire I even tried a little e-whoring on some chat rooms, but that didn't work too well for me either.
I want to get back into affiliate marketing full force now that I have a little money saved up, but I've been out of the game too long and have no idea where to start up or if it's still a profitable industry.

Basically the point of this thread is to get other people to share their success stories with affiliate marketing, blogs, or other internet marketing ventures. If you have links you could share so I can see some good examples, I'd love to see them. I'd prefer to not get dickrolled, but I know it's a fact of life nowadays. Boob posts are also acceptable and encouraged.
 


I have said this at least 5x times in other threads.

1. Farticle for diet/bizopp/teeth whitening
2. Yahoo Paid PPC and/or SEO for 3-4 word longtail keywords via that redvirus guys $25 SEO pack
3. Profit.

Ferris, but on Yahoo it will just get him banned if he promote that farticles for diet/bizopp/etc. ? Yahoo even more strict than google with it.
 
Instead of getting motivated with success stories, spend some time reading the stickied posts on this forum.

bullshit. manually reviewed by Y many times - worst i got was put some terms on the bottom and * "free"

plus they weren't too happy about carpet bombing fitness trademarks with diet ads but thats another story
 
So you want to say that Yahoo PPC is ok with rebills ? Just need to make them complaint ? I have heard such about Google, not running any rebills now. As for Yahoo about 3-4 monthes ago they said very clear they don't want any rebills with any terms on their PPC engine and display ads as well.

hmm...great!:)
 
well they pushed it on display as far as i'm aware, but as i've said multiple manual reviews on search and no problems. * free plus terms and relevence (don't use search like content) and you should be fine. well you won't get banned anyway, you've really got to push it for that to happen and i've had my fair share of warning emails so i know where the limits are.
 
Listen man, theres always money in this industry. I was an ebay gold level powerseller when I was 19 and then my business fell apart, and I jumped in internet marketing full time. I had no clue what I was doing, I was running ppc campaigns on adwords, direct linking to a clickbank product's with no keyword tracking. I lost all my money, every single nickel. But I did'nt want to go to school or get a job so I started doing seo. Days after days not making a single cent, I spent my last $1.56 to buy a domain name to seo on. And I didnt have enough money to buy a .com so I bought a .info and worked from there. Long story short, I busted my ass off, made money doing seo got back into ppc and tore it up. I make anywhere from $750-$1200 a day and im only 20 and have been doing this for 4-5 months. If my ass can do it, your ass can.

Good Luck and don't give up

real talk. stay on your grind
 
The OP has fucked up, because when he fails, he changes to another idea. Instead of learning from his failure, he keeps abandoning tactics and niches that are proven, but simply not mastered by him yet.

If you are losing money (or time, which is measured in money) and not learning anything, the problem is between your monitor and your chair. Everyone fails, everyone makes mistakes, everyone loses money. The people who succeed are the ones who figure out what they were doing wrong, and start doing it better.

The problem isn't a lack of inspiration. It is a lack of focus and commitment.
