Alright so it’s day 9 of this challenge and I’ve still yet to see a sale. I’ve had over 500 click-throughs to the affiliate product pages from the articles I have up, and not one has made a purchase. Clearly something isn’t quite working and I’m going to have to play around a bit.

One thing I’ve done is expanded the number of niches I’m trying to get into. Hopefully some of them will start to perform and I can then narrow my focus on them, but we’ll see. As of now one of the niches is already performing well article wise. Of my top 10 articles for number of clicks, one niche holds 5 of them. Again though, no sales.

One thing to note though is that if tomorrow I got 3 sales it would change everything regarding my conversion rates, and this drives home the point that really, my sample size is still very small. Yes, I’ve sent 500 clicks through, but at the same time I’ve only sent 500 clicks through, and that simply isn’t enough to make a sweeping generalization about anything. Once I get to 1000 clicks, which I estimate will be around day 15 or 16, if I’m still performing awfully, then I’ll call in some experts and make some changes.

It’s time to get started with this thirty day article marketing experiment and see if we can’t get the ball rolling. In this post I’ll introduce the exact tactics I plan to use to make my billions, and I’ll go through some of the other options that you can take should you want to try this with your own twist.

Alright so right off the bat, I’ve already lied to you. This is not, in fact day one. I started this yesterday, but starting with “day two” in the title will make people go “hey, buddy, what the hell? Where’s day one?”.  To confuse it even more, I’m writing this from Australia, which is a day in the future from my home in Toronto, so when I return home, what day will it be? Now I know how Marty McFly felt when he went back in time and his mom hit on him. Sort of.

Alright so on to the nitty gritty of this challenge. Time to answer your questions on just what exactly it is I’m doing!

1) How will you make da monies?
For the purposes of my experiment, I’ve decided to use affiliate products to generate my fortune. I’m also testing two different methods within that. First, I’ve gone to ClickBank (a huge affiliate product market place), and chosen four products that I will promote in four different niches. I’m staying away from get rich quick products because they’re almost all scams or rip offs and I would feel awful selling such things to people.
Secondly, I chose an affiliate product that is Read the full story
