I just began with ClickBank, just under a week ago. I have two sites up and indexed by Google, and I'll begin working on my third tomorrow. I'm using a proven system, with a few personal touches of my own added for design quality. I'm not sure if it will work yet, as I've not yet earned any money, but I feel that with the 3 years of knowledge I've accumulated from reading these and other forums, that I should be able to pull not one but several rabbits out of several hats.
No offense, OTrap, but I want to prove you wrong! You said that it would take about a year to begin averaging earnings of $3-4k/month. My goal is to have 100 sites setup by April that are capable of earning in the ballparck of $300/month, which will total roughly $1000/day or $30,000/month. To be on the safe side... Even if I fall $200 short on each site, I'd still earn roughly $333/day or $10k/month. If all goes well, all of my 100 sites should be able to do this by May or June, so if I'm even halfway there by the time I've setup my 100th site in April, I'd have succeeded in proving you wrong, and by a whopping 8 months! ^_^
