Just last week, I started testing out another google adwords campaign using the search network for a clickbank product and this week, I just launch another campaign but this time is of a different nature. This time I am testing out using google adwords content network for Cost-Per-Action offers.

First Time Setting Up A CPA Campaign

I can tell you it is so much simplier than trying to setup a website to sell a clickbank product but the cost can easily go high up because I am using adwords content network to generate traffic.

How this works is this:

1 - Create landing page website

2 - Use adwords to generate traffic to landing page

3 - Get visitors to go to the CPA offer

4 - Visitor submits their email address and you get paid per email submits.

Each offer can range between a few cents to a few dollars.

Sounds easy?

After my first night of experimentation, it is pretty scary. I will not tell you what my landing page are but I can state the statistics of my first night.

Statistics Of My First CPA Campaign

Spent Singapore dollars $25.31 on 105 clicks from the content network.

And out of 105 who came to my landing page, 55 got to my CPA offers but only 1 submitted their email so I only got $2.025 for the whole night. So I lost around $23 dollars on the first night. But I was pretty happy as well because this was my first CPA lead. And of course i am sad cause my conversion rate was amazingly poor.

Making Changes

Anyway, I have made some changes to the sub-headers as well as change the CPA offer and things seem to look up cause my earnings as of now that i am typing this blog post is around $7.02. Currently google adwords is down for maintenance but I am sure I am still losing money but at least the losses seem better.

My budget is set at $25 and since I manage to get $7.02, at least i have reduce the losses to $17.98 for my second night. So my next target is to match my earnings to cover at least $25. Hopefully, I can do it.

Will update further next time. Thanks for reading.

Andrew

Just receive this email from Travis who is one of the kings of bum marketing and this is a pretty good video about how to write a good bio box that attracts people to your website when you are using articles to attract traffic.

Ok. This is my fourth attempt at trying to solve the mysteries of using google adwords. I have already lost around $600 in my previous 3 attempts but I just refused to give up. Anyway, I will be using these blog entries to track my progress, whether I manage to succeed this time or not. Not sure if anyone is interested but if you can, you can always give me some advice. Anyway I have outline 2 projects that I will be doing for google adwords.

Project 1: Clickbank Product

I have just completed doing all the keyword research necessary. I skipped all the niche research thingy, find a clickbank product that has been selling well (nothing to do with IM), and created 14 adgroups with about 8 to 10 keywords per adgroup, with 2 adverts for testing conversion. Using xtremeconversion, I created 14 redirect pages to track my conversion keywords (provided the keywords do convert). Also set a $25 budget, and only do exact matches for keywords. And I will slowly expand too. Maybe I will subscribe to keyword websites like keywordcompete.com or spyfu.com to get more keyword ideas.

Project 2: CPA Offers

I just signed up for marketleverage, copeac and pepperjam and looking for CPA offers to test by doing polling experiments. To me, this is like a totally different portion of IM. The concentration will be on the content network.

Always Remember

Just need to tell myself (and anyone who is facing the same problems) these 3 points:

1 - Keep It Simple Stupid

2 - Be Consistent Daily

3 - Doing More Does Not Mean Productivity. Doing The Real Boring Stuff Is What Brings Money In.

Andrew

Technorati Tags: testing out CPA networks, another experiment with google adwords

Just discovered that the google keyword tool now shows the number of keyword searches but I am still not sure the number is a period, yearly, monthly, weekly or daily search volume. Need to explore more but it is definitely great to finally see some number appearing.

Google AdWords: Keyword Tool

I believe alot of IM products will be in for some change as well.

Updates:

Took it from Google’s description about the search figures

Approximate Search Volume [Previous Month]

This column shows the approximate number of search queries matching your keywords that were performed on Google and the search network in the previous calendar month. This number is specific to your targeted country and language as well as your selection from the Match Type drop-down menu.

Finally, my first positive income from setting up an ebay-affiliated website. After finding the solution to my problem for my iphone niche, it has finally made a little income. Check out my stats which i extracted from the ebaypartnernetwork.com. Though the amount is just $11.70, but at least the traffic is pretty targeted. For 45 clicks, I earn $11.70 commission, which gives me an conversion rate of $0.26 per click.

There are 3 alternatives you can use to have those ebay auctions onto your site:

1 - Try out BANS which i think is $97 but BANS only allow you to build ebay stores=> Built A Niche Store (BANS)

2 - You can use this software that is currently free (partial version) call phpBay Lite Plugin for Wordpress. There is also a paid version that allows you to setup an ebay, commission junction store as well.

3- Storestacker. So far the most comprehensive software that allows you to create clickbank, ebay, amazon, overstock, regnow and hotelclub stores. And it has RSS feeds as well as youtube videos as well.

I believe if you are focus, you can definitely earn more than my meagre sum of money.

Andrew

This is a rant. I am not sure if I am a failure after paying for Jo Han Mok’s 60 Minutes To Freedom course but it is really disappointing! One email mention that some of the members are earning money already (even though I do not understand how with the kind of advice given).

I decided to take up this course because i have always been impressed with the marketing skills of Jo Han Mok but this course has seriously caused my impression of him to be down the drain!

The “so call” business in a box is way way way way X3 below expectations for a US$997 course. This is the 4th business-in-a-box already and all are lousy and disappointing. I did not want to mention the quality of the course here while i was waiting for someone to reply me on my refund request but seems like they just cannot be bothered. I thought with Jo Han Mok, things will be high quality with good support and no one seems to be bothered with me. I have a friend whom i showed the kind of things offered so far and it is barely anything worth the US$997.

Is there anyone else asking for refund? Can anyone advise me on what action can i take?

Regards,

Andrew

You Have Been Sold The Idea That Earning Money Working From Home Is Easy

The very idea that you can earn money working from home is one that can really get people excited with plenty of ideas on how much money that can potentially earn from the Internet. But life working from the comfort of your own home can be far from the reality some guru always portray to others. Do not get sold into the idea that making money from home means you can constantly be relaxed and comfortable, only working one hour a day. What makes it different is the fact that even though you are doing a job, there is no safety net that comes when a person is employed. Instilling certain disciplines and methods into your working can make you successful and totally independent.

The majority of us hope to identify a way that we can make easy quick money, and all of us that look at all of the different ways to work from home are at first drawn into all of the different types of offers of get rich quick schemes. Some of these do really work, but rarely enough to justify the hype that normally surrounds the sales pitch each person receives.

These Paid Surveys And Home Based Data Entry Jobs Rarely Turns Out Real. Mostly Exist As A Scam

Opportunities such as paid surveys and home based data entry jobs promise to make you rich but they very often don’t deliver what they state. One imagines doing a few surveys in the morning, then a leisurely lunch may be, then doing a few more surveys and ending up with several hundred dollars for the day; this is ridiculous.

How About Writing Your Life To A More Stable Online Income As A Start

This really isn’t the way to go if you are looking for a well paid job working out of home. This is an area where scams abound so it pays to be careful. If you do have the writing skills, you can start off by writing articles - and there is always a need for these; of course how well you do will depend on how good you are. However, in the beginning you will usually find that you are writing for people who are selling your efforts on as their own. In the beginning, it doesn’t pay well - perhaps for 500 words, just but this is how it goes so don’t get disappointed.

Ideas

If you then start thinking of writing for yourself, you could maybe think of private label rights or PLR articles as these could bring in more money. You could write a certain number of articles and then sell them not to one but a few people, pricing the articles low. If you charged 10 dollars for the bundle of ten and sold them to thirty people, that would be 300 dollars, or the equivalent of 30 dollars an article, which is considerably better than 5 dollars an article.

Conclusion

You need to put in constant efforts to make your home based employment more dependable and to earn a regular income. In the beginning it will not be easy, however, once the kinks have been ironed out and the process streamlined, it will be easy. When it gets to the point of getting a pool of writers who outsource for one, that will be the point of hitting the jackpot and real money can be earned.

Andrew

Today is day 3 of receiving Jo Han Mok’s business-in-a-box program. So far, so good, everything has been quite easy up until the adwords portion.  It is really an art. I have already racked up $34.88 all in just one day with a total of 184 clicks.  And click-thru rate to the merchant is 100 clicks and no sales so far.  So far, how does my campaign feels like?

$43.86 / 205 clicks = 0.214 per click

Failed to include tracking.  My fault.  Should have considered everything to track the stats and if there is a sale, at least the stats will tell me where it is coming from.

Biggest problem I have with Adwords now: I pump in 1700 keywords, and it has been asking me to raise some bids from 0.15 to 0.45 and more. And now, the biggest shocker, all keywords are being deactivated because some of the bids minimum requirement has jump to $1.50.  Damn!

Nevermind, a lot to learn.  Back to the drawing board to redo some pages and hopefully, I can reduce the quality score.

Andrew

Completed my testing of Human Spinner 1.0 Beta.  It took nearly 12 hours for the results to be completed.  And after completion, you have to choose the sentences that you like or you can reject.  And the good thing is that the website will help you to write a seed file for use with JetSpinner.

And after using jetspinner, I used the original article to compare the uniqueness between the 10 new articles.

Results:
Article 1  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 76.7%  -> Words: 500
Article 2  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 59.19% -> Words: 509
Article 3  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 79.25% -> Words: 497
Article 4  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 59.19% -> Words: 510
Article 5  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 52.48% -> Words: 511
Article 6  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 80.77% -> Words: 506
Article 7  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 71.43% -> Words: 470
Article 8  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 68.94% -> Words: 507
Article 9  Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 85.05% -> Words: 487
Article 10 Spin-Off from JetSpinner => Unique 87.62% -> Words: 468

It cost me around $5 to get the article to be rewritten but the value for money service is that it can create all the sentences from and spin out another 10 articles.  So it is almost like paying $5 for 10 articles.

Regards,

Andrew

[tag]Human  Spinner 1.0 beta testing, results from new article rewriter software[/tags]

I have been testing out this new article spinner service call Human Spinner 1.0 (in beta stage currently) from the creators of JetSpinner.  If you have been testing out the different article spinner services, you should roughly know that a software will try to change the words to something with the same meaning.  An so far, most of the article spinner services have failed (other than the exception of ContentFX).

But for this new service, Human Spinner 1.0, instead of having a program to change the words for you, each article that you submit will actually be changed by real human writers on the spot.  You can choose to pay per paragraph or per sentence to change.  I have just submitted my first article and opt for a change for all sentences just to see its result.  It will be interesting because you can have the same article being rewritten by real humans instead of some lousy piece of software.  I think it takes around 1 hour for the article to be totally rewritten for each sentence.

Stay tune for the results……

Regards,

Andrew

Been getting back my momentum before my long awaited 3 weeks break from my job. Thanks Hannie for some valuable advice on how you achieve $100 a day and how I should focus my efforts when I do IM full time. Trying to get a schedule up and start tomorrow. Your advice on affiliate marketing for MoreNiche and Clickbank was great!

Anyway, I have been bored and today is the first time I check out the market place in sitepoint and suddenly, I learn so much more about building websites to sell, how everyone sells their service and the kind of money involved in buying content, buying websites as well as the selling portion.

http://marketplace.sitepoint.com

Check out the website and maybe for newbies, we can learn quite alot from how some of the experts are doing. I was stunned by one of the offers on a health niche with a PR6 and looking at the website, I have no idea how google gave it a PR6. Need to really study how things worked.

I just sign up Jo Han Mok’s 60minstofreedom (totally sold out now) with a friend and will be starting in June 7th so hopefully this course can work out fine towards learning how to achieve a full time income online.

My sales from clickbank has been awefully stagnant since I stopped writing any articles nor building any links. Guess it is time to get back to focus.

Write more articles, automate more rewriting and finally building more links.

By the way, I will be raising the price of my offer for Frank Kern’s Mass Control Revealed or I will be taking it down.  The last 5 people will buy it and I will stop the offer.

Hi Friends,

Jon Leger (to me, he is the $7 man) has just started a new website that was launched to fill a gap for bloggers.  You can goto Share A Post now to check out what it is about.

In a nutshell (hopefully my own explanation is clear enough), we submit our articles to ezinearticles.com to get backlinks as well as traffic.  Well, for Share A Post, you submit your blog post (useful and informative content) to the website and other bloggers who are looking for quality blog post to add into their blogs will republish your blog post. So you can see more of your post being republished on other blog sites.

Basically, to really know more about it, you just have to test it yourself.  Currently, this website is still undergoing testing and debugging and Jon has not decided if this service will continue to be free or he will charge a fee in future.  Anyway, no harm trying it now.

http://shareapost.com/

Just found out I got 2 blog post being republished already.

Regards,

Andrew

(PS: When you have the time, check out Jon Leger blog at http://www.jonathanleger.com/ too.  He has alot of good case studies to learn from.  And personally, I find that many of his experiments dispel what some other gurus are preaching about as well.)

Hi Friends,

Please Be Careful When You Sign Up For Any Internet Marketing Product That Is Too Good To Be True.

Recently, I am beginning to see a certain trend.

When I decided to buy a $1 product recently, I did not notice a automatic subscription was in the $1 that I sign up. It specify that $29 will be deducted every month after the first month newsletter is sent and if you do not send an email to cancel the subscription, your credit card will automatically be deducted. This was mention in the sales letter but it was so unnoticeable that I virtually do not remember seeing such a condition until I paid the $1.

Immediately, I sent out an email to them to cancel my subscription and the return email assured me that they will not charged me. But sadly, after one month, while checking my credit card bill, to my amazement, I was charged!!!!!

I have since sent them an email to get my money back but no one is replying me. This is very sad because this marketer is quite highly respected and now, the image I have of him has totally been destroyed. If I do not get back my refund after I send out my second email, I am going to post who this marketer is.

——————————-

On a side note, I am beginning to see other marketers giving out free CDs, and all you have to do is to pay the shipping and delivery. But there is a small catch. There is also an automatic subscription to the newsletter that you have to call the office to cancel if you do not want it.

This is terrible. The information was presented in such a way that it seems like there is no problems but I see it as a serious problem. If this happens in the offline world, you will most likely see many customers demanding the authorities to take action. But on the online world, who can we approach?

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Friends,

Negative Issues: If you have been promoting iContentRobot and notice that you manage to get some affiliate sales, it is with a high possibility that you may have not gotten paid until now.

You will have to direct all commission inquiries to Latif at support@googlesnatch.com and not the current programmers at ContentFx. And you may or may not have a reply. I send the email on 14-May-2008 and so far, I did not receive any reply about my commission so far. I was expecting $72 per month but i can’t even get a single cent now. My first try at promoting a new membership site and this kind of thing happened.

For those of you who do not know what went wrong, you can read the real issues between the promoter and the programmers rife at the link below:

What NOT to do when hiring a Promoter or JV Broker

Sad to hear things did not work out well between the programmers and the promoter but I am still a big fan of these programmers.

Positive Thinking: Anyway, I still believe in the software and technology so I will continue supporting the programmers.

And therefore, I shall present to you …….

Introducting ContentFX

http://alwaysfindsuccess.com/recommends/ContentFXreview

For most people, you may not know ContentFX but maybe you know about iContentRobot. I did a series of videos to promote the icontentrobot. Basically, the article generator created by the programmers allows you to generate articles in just 4 seconds or less.

And each article generated on the same topic will be similar in ideas but different in structure and words.

From my personal experience, for each article generated, using a content checker, between the first version and second version, the similarities was at minimum 65% different and the highest percentage i got was 98% different. It is virtually considered as a totally different article. You can view of my past videos below:

first-video-on-icontentrobot-review-and-is-it-really-4-seconds-watch-the-videos

make-sure-you-know-what-icontentrobot-really-can-do-before-you-buy

Note:

You cannot just pick any topic you want and retrieve new articles. Currently, the topics available are given by the programmers so you can only generate the articles based on the list of topics they have.

But fret not!

There is going to be a new improvement in the technology so that you can insert your own keywords and get a new unique article generated for you in seconds. Read on below:

The Birth Of ContentFX And The End of iContentRobot

For everyone who are using icontentrobot, or considering about iContentRobot, this is to inform you that it will no longer be called iContentRobot and it will forever be known as ContentFX.

So whats New In ContentFX ?

The programmers of ContentFX have added new features revolving their article generation technology and I have to say I am quite a fan of their work. To save my trouble, hopefully Ted at http://www.kokope.com would not mind if I place a portion of his blog below to show the new features of ContentFX:

———-Excerpts From Kokope.com Start—————-

There are some new and exciting enhancements coming to ContentFX in the very near future:

A new and improved content generator where you can insert your own keywords to retrieve articles. Check out the video overview of this amazing technology:

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-4967034227277075496

An article directory script for every member to install on their own domain that will be networked with the entire membership. This alone is worth hundreds of dollars. Imagine hundreds and thousands of one way backlinks to your money site all on autopilot. Check out the video overview:

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-4773271977973013645

Auto Blog Posting Script that will post unique articles to your Wordpress and Blogger blogs every day on autopilot. Check out this amazing technology in this video overvview:

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=3207104982694564559

and many more features in the works and being tested right now.

———-Excerpts From Kokope.com End—————-

Results After Testing The New Added Features:

Auto-blog Posting

Personally, I have just installed the auto blog posting scripts and it is working great!

I manage to configure 2 of my other blogs to automatically get a new blog post everyday, with keywords embedded with affiliate links so that I do not need to update those blogs personally.

Suggestions:

The only suggestion I would like to make to the programmers is to change the execution job. Currently, if you have 5 projects to auto-post to the different blogs, the execution job runs all projects. I hope that they can just include one more command to execute the script to run for each individual project instead.

Personal Article Directory

I just downloaded the article directory script and after some configurations, now I got my own personal article directory too, which is networked to other members of ContentFX as well.

You can see the temporary location here => http://www.businesspeanuts.com/cfxarticledir/

I have yet to submit any articles yet. I will inform everyone of my results after doing more tests.

Our iron clad, 3-day free trial

As the title says, the developers at ContentFX are offering a 3 day free trial to test out their system. Read in detail and review ContentFX and if it can help to enhance your bum marketing efforts.

http://alwaysfindsuccess.com/recommends/ContentFXreview

Just be warned that since the software like auto-blogging scripts and article directory scripts have just been launched, there will be bugs but i believe every function will be improved.  Anyway, there is a 3 day free trial so there is really no harm testing out the system at all.

Hi Everyone,

First of all, happy mothers to all the mothers out there.  Thanks for all the hard work, including my mum.  Though my mother’s day dinner was pretty funny that we ended up eating MacDonald instead of a proper restaurant, it was at least finally having the entire family having dinner together.Felt good.

As for the restaurant who did not serve us our food after waiting one hour, just wish you will not do that to another customer again.

And next of all, happy birthday to myself.  Thanks my girlfriend for being the first person to wish me too.  (As well as those little characters in your house.)

Assessment For May 2007 to May 2008:

Looking back at one year ago, when i first started my IM discovery, things have certainly moved on, though at a very slow pace.  Took me 9 months to realize that earning money is all about action and another 3 months of writing articles, testing with Adwords, selling Private Label Rights as well as outsourcing.

Sadly, for the month of May, I barely do anything due to my work but counting down to another 3 weeks and I will roughly get a 3 week to 1 month break from work to concentrate on IM and tie up some loose ends.

Till Date: Earnings for this whole year was only $1k plus but my spending on education was definitely more than at least $4k.  So this is a deficit.

Resolution For May 2008 to May 2009

Ultimate Aim: To turn full time and bring in a monthly figure of minimum $3k.

Currently: Bringing in $100 per month.  So I am way off my mark of $3k.  But most importantly, actions are becoming clearer of what works and what does not.

Visualization Target:

- Find partners and spur each other on

- Be an expert in one traffic source

- Outsource, outsource, outsource

- Create 3 personal products

- Be conducting my own IM class by the end of next year.

So let’s get cracking.  First up, my full time IM adventure starts on June 08, after quitting my job.  Woo Hoo!

Regards,

Andrew

Technorati Tags: Internet marketing resolution for year 2008

Hi friends,

Recently, I have been so busy at work and so burnt out from using my brain that I seem to have lost all interest in my work as well as in my internet marketing strategies. I can be sitting in front of the laptop after work and just not doing anything. The brain seems to freeze and no ideas, no inspiration and definitely a lost of momentum.

Most likely, this lifestyle will be over in the beginning of July when I am out of this job but for the time being, the struggles between work and online business is really bad.

The good thing though, I manage to secure $50+ dollars in commissions even though no action was done on my side at all. So more spare cash to spend when I am finally out of work. If you have any ideas for a JV for a project, let’s do it since I have the spare time coming up.

Regards,

Andrew

Technorati Tags: difficulties of doing online business

No action done recently due to my work sapping up all my energy and motivation. So from 16 April to 30th April 2008, I did not do anything nor submit any new articles until today.

Just submitted 3 articles, create a new website and wrote a new blog post for the website.

Results:

Earning $22. Still a long way to $200.

Subscriber: 175. Still have 25 more subscribers to hit 200 subscribers.

But for all the inaction, I still manage to get around $22 for IM niche sales so it is still pretty good. At least there are some money being made, although I wish it will be greatly increase.

Latest News:

I will be quitting my job in early July 2008 so I should still be damn busy at work but I am looking forward to doing full time bum marketing after quitting my job for 2 months, for some rest and some discipline dealing with Internet Marketing.

Just counting down to the days now~~~

Ewen Chia Work From Home Honest Review:

As usual, I always cannot resist buying Ewen Chia products (I am sucker for his products because I have always earn some money from the tips he has given to me).

You can learn a lot of the sales funnel he uses that always give you the urge to buy everything, from upsell to downsell and cross sell. But for this product, though I have to say I really learnt a lot on his sales page and marketing technique, I have to be frank and say that do not buy unless you are a completely new affiliate marketer.

Though it is cheap at only $9.97 (which I bought), the main product is very very basic and unless you have totally no clue about affiliate marketing or internet marketing in general, I will rather you spent your money on his previous products like secret affiliate weapon or auto-pilot profits. I particularly liked his newbie cash machine as well as the monthly membership site, Super Affiliates (both my reviews on squidoo on newbie cash machine and super affiliates are on the right hand side of this blog).

Let me breakdown what I thought about his main product and his bonus.

Let me start with what I do not like about the product and the bonus.

Instant Income System:

This is just to help him sell his work from home product, and you can earn from the upsells after a customer buys from your link.

Cons: Personally, I will find it difficult to sell Ewen Chia’s product when they are so many major “gurus” promoting his product. Unless you are someone who already have a list in the internet marketing niche, I figure it will be difficult to sell his product.

The Work From Home Secret Report:

It is not really very secret. Personally, I think you can find much more information for free on the Internet if you try to search hard enough. Too basic information. The only thing I like about this report will be his 2 pictures of 2 squeeze pages that he has.

How To Steal Other People’s Work And Get Rich!

Sounds good right? It sure does but I still find this report too basic. It is just basically asking you to spy on other people’s website and do it better than them.

Mystery Bonus 1: Giant Headline Swipe File

Hmm…I am not sure if i can announce on this blog about this mystery bonus but this bonus is just normal standards for me because you can look around at any headers and try to make changes without really paying any money for it.

What I do like about the Product That Justifies The $9.97.

Mystery Bonus 2: The Ultimate Sales Copy Formula

This is to me the ultimate gem in any of the bonus he has offered for this work from home product. And this is not announce on the sales page. The way he has presented on how a person reads a sale page, using the different flow charts to present his ideas, this is to be the absolutely easiest report I have ever read on understanding and writing a sales copy.

It makes a lot of sense that this bonus is worth more than the $9.97 price tag and the only reason why I will urge anyone to buy this product is just because of this bonus. It has always been Ewen Chia’s style to offer bonus that are even better than the main product and this is evident here too.

Only For Very New Marketers Offer:

I am going to show my affiliate link here to promote Ewen Chia Work From Home product just so that you can get the mystery bonus 2 as I think it is worth the price for it.

Step 1: Clear your cookies first

Step 2: Click on the link below.

Step 3: Tell me which bonus do you want after you have purchase Ewen Chia Work From Home product.

All quite simple right?

And as a bonus, you can choose either one of these products as a bonus from me. One is the Secret Traffic Code and the other is the Affiliate Rescue. I have the rights to use as a bonus for a paid product so I figure you can have it.

Ewen-Chia-Work-From-Home-Review

On A Final Note:

There are many other major serious players promoting this product so if you can, get it from them as I think they may have much better bonus than what I am offering.

Please Please only get this product if you have no clue or never had any sales from clickbank before and need some basic guidance.

Regards,

Andrew

My Bum Marketing Efforts Report Card for the period between 16 March 2008 to 15 April 2008 has been quite a journey of fever, cough and flu and lucky for iContentRobot, manage to use it to squeeze in some articles.

Failed my targets this month:

——————————–

Target Earnings: $200

Achieved Earnings: $124.43

Remarks: Short Of $75.57

——————————–

Target Subscribers: 200

Achieved Subscribers: 162

Remarks: Short Of 38 subscribers

——————————–

Traffic from www.StatCounter.com to track my squeeze page.

(Had to edit the chart below because it was showing unnecessary information like page load and returning visits.)

Above, there has been a slight improvement in traffic, though it is still small. But it also shows that my conversion rate has been quite pathetic because out of 1176 visitors to my squeeze page, only 62 has sign up as my subscriber.

So 62/1176 = 0.05% conversion rate. But the good thing is that out of 62 subscriber, one person bought my affiliate product (its an upsell package too). And the rest of my income comes from iContentRobot and Mass Control Revealed.

What did I do to create $124.43? (Not sure anyone is interested but I am writing down to remind myself what I did so that I know what else I can do to increase sales.)

For iContentRobot, review which I created a USfreeAds, blogspot website, using this businesspeanuts to promote it, created one squidoo page and uploaded 4 videos that I made personally and paste it to youtube.com and viddler.com. This effort created $72 and it is a monthly subscription. (Take note that I personally bought iContentRobot and therefore, I spent more than I make as I paid for a full year subscription.)

For my health site, created a total of 24 articles and submit to ezinearticles. Create 1 new squidoo page to promote other health affiliate product too. This created $40.18.

Made another $10 from Mass Control Revealed and $2.25 from selling text-links.

Best Buy For Me: iContentRobot

Seems like alot of people have misuse the articles from iContentRobot to spam the articles all over the internet. Personally, I find it a damn good software service that eliminates a lot of time needed to write articles. You can look at the chart above and check the date 8th April 2008. It garnered 144 unique visitors from 5 articles. And each of these article is 100 percent unique, even though it was produced from iContentRobot.

If anyone is interested, I will list out the steps I did to make each article unique and it will take less than an hour to complete 3 to 5 articles.

In this video, I will address some of the misconceptions about iContentRobot article creator and what you must know if you really think you need this software.

If you need to see the software, this is the link:

iContentRobot Article Software

What you get to watch in the videos…(Please bear with my accent and video quality)..By the way, the video is split between 2 parts.

Point 1 = It is not a rewriter

Point 2 = It is not possible to use the keywords you want to generate the articles on. It is prepared by Latiff. It will be 50 different topics with between 3 -5 different keywords for each topic and you can generate endless articles with these keywords.

Point 3 = Each article does not come up 100% unique each time. But minimum seen so far is between 60% to 70% uniqueness. Bear in mind that Google just requires your articles to be 30% unique in order to avoid the duplicate content penalty so all the articles created by iContentRobot is achieving twice the uniqueness so definitely no Google penalty for duplicate contents.

Point 4 = No articles cannot be completely unique. Meaning if you have a article generated and another subscriber have another article generated as well. It could be similar in certain sentences. But I can teach you how to make it 100% unique in just within 5 minutes.
