So I been struggling with this for a really long time now. I have a lot of articles written, I made some sales but they are either too low or get refunded. I make a sale maybe every few months, but by then Clickbank is already taking money out of the account from not earning anything.

I resorted to Blackhat methods but I honestly have no clue whatsoever where to even start. I really need money in the next few months because I have a big bill coming up and they are going to want the money right then and there.

All the articles I've written are all keyword optimized, I get reads and clicks but yet nothing. I literally am down to like $70 in my bank account, so I can't spend any money at all.

So I'm coming to you guys to help me get started because I am failing doing this all by myself. In the end if I get enough money I will be sure to donate to this site, and the one that helped me get up and running.

Thanks!

It is better to build some backlink for your articles and promote them through forum or groups. Do some Seo to make your landing on top of google. They are literally unlimited methods to promote your product. And also keep an eye on vendors landing page some vendors try to steal your commission by using different technique like closing page pop up. If you take my advice I tell you to pick up a pencil and paper and note down all possible promotion method then apply every promotion method for 1-2 week after a month or so analyze your best promotion method and then bang with that promotion method. Once traffic start rolling into your page the money start coming into your pocket. HOPE this WILL HELP. Thanks, wish you best of luck in future promotion

I redirect my top level domain from ezine to my affiliate link.
Is that bad?

Link them back to your site, but I wouldn't recommend redirecting to the affiliate, only because thats only giving you a single opportunity to make any sales (you are relying on the affiliate's site to sell for you). Also, bookmark the hell out of your posts, onlywire is good for that.

Ah yes, I didn't even know they had an affiliate section. I added /affiliate at the end of the URL, and surprise. They also offer a free membership to the site after three sales it seems.

I guess I will use a review style layout to promote multiple products, and do the thing you said and see how it goes for me. If anyone else has any other suggestions feel free to post..really!

Also, how many articles should I do a day. Because I do about two to three articles a day. But they are rewritten and surprisingly accepted by ezine. Guess it's because I was always good at putting things in my own words. :P

Okay, I got the review site up. I spent 2-3 hours setting it up so it looks real nice. I added reviews for like three products I may add some more reviews later on.
I bookmarked the site with onlywire a few minutes ago. Did an RSS ping too.

edit: one of my articles just got ranked spot 1 out of 12,200,000 results on Google for a pretty competitive keyword...so let's see how it goes.

Do you know the safest black hat method to use?
Because I need results pretty quickly.

Just make sure your keywords are "buyer" keywords. #1 Google ranking doesn't mean anything if the traffic doesn't convert! And add more backlinks to the article page. It's not uncommon for Google to rank a new EZA article high. Adding backlinks frequently will give you the chance to stay highly ranked.

Well, I just started making my own e-book.
I'm up to seven pages so far.

I do about 2002 words an hour. I guess that's fast? :P
