My First Day

Thursday, September 3rd

Hi All,

I have also taken the affiliate route like Dan and I registered with Commission Junction (easiest to get accepted) and Adscend Media (Also easy to get accepted). I have decided in trying to sell sign ups (my leads) as opposed to selling products. I know most of you thinking, who will pay to sign up to something they may not have been looking for? All my sign ups are free and pay $6 per sign up!! The sign ups I choose to go for were all non English speaking websites due to Adwords being saturated on the US and UK sites for this particular website sign up. First off I was going to have a go at the German market, but as I don’t know anyone German speaking and translators are usually wrong, I changed to Swedish. I have a couple friends that are Swedish so I asked for them to translate for me for my advertisement. I checked to see what pops up for multiple key words and there were no sponsored links at all… YIPPEE!! I had to pay $5 for registration to Adwords and $5 for credit so I have spent around £6 so far. I placed 160 keywords/phrases that I thought would help in Swedish and English and submitted them.

Progress

I managed to get 33 clicks yesterday and 1 lead bringing my revenue for the day to £4 (around $6-$7)

I will post more in-depth information about what I am doing and the sign ups I am working on in due time.

Congrats on your progress!!! As long as you know it works and is profitable you can bump up your keywords phrases and budget.Did you or do you plan to do any testing?
