1 month with clickbank and just $12...

Hello everybody, I'm new in this forum.
As the title says, I've just earned 12$ selling products and I need some orientation.

I started to use clickbank because i was interested in making money on the internet, so, searching for that, i found an ebook about Clickbank. Then I searched for a lot of courses (all of them free because i have 0 money right now).

I found good courses that taught me well. I understood a lot, like how to do blogs (wordpress/blogspot), found a lot of tips like adding contact, privacy policy, or that i should have original content, found jetspinner, etc. So no problem with the free blog creation part (I don't buy a domain or hosting because as I say, now I'm 0 dollars, I want to make some money with this and then with that money i can buy domains).

Now my problem is the SEO, i can't reach to the first page of google. I've seen a lot of robots that helps but I don't have money right now. I've been reading this forum and found a lot of good info but I couldn't do my website reach the first places of google.

I just can't do backlinks to my page, i do it manually in yahoo answers for example but, i just got a lot of banned accounts. I tried with hubpages and squidoo, but can't get traffic because my hubs were banned, and my squidoo don't help. Please I need help in getting traffic to my web, I know I can make money with this, maybe I can try another things. I have 1 month promoting products but I just got $12. I'm not going nowhere maybe i need to get a free seo robot just for starting and when I have the money, then I can buy the scrapebox that I read a lot of good comments.

By the way, sorry about my english, it's so bad, thats because I speak spanish hehe byee

If you can't afford Scrapebox then you might want to try an even cheaper solution like Sick Submitter, that's only like $13 a month or something. If you can't scrape up $13 to fund your internet marketing efforts, then you may as well give up now. You need to be able to get backlinks or else you're dead in the water.

If you can build a decent site and SEO it, then you could also look into outsourcing some link generation - there are people offering really cheap blasts here or on fiverr.

hey! thank you so much for the answer the problem is, as I said before, I don't have the money now, so I wanted to know if i can use another techniques to SEO my web pages now, unless 1 or 2 of them, just to be able to get some money to buy the scrapebox. I'm so interested in that software. I want to know an alternative for the moment. If I could be able to transfer my money to my pay pal acc it would be different, but clickbank won't allow me. Maybe there are a few other alternatives, like socialmarkers maybe?. Does that help? Thank you so so much, keep the good work

First, I want to let you know that making ANY money in the first month is actually pretty good. That puts you ahead of pace compared to most. Hell, I didn't make a dime for at LEAST 6 months (I don't remember exactly, but it was probably closer to 10 months).

I would say you should first do some bum marketing to scrounge up some money that you can reinvest back into some SEO tools.

Find free ways to get backlinks:

1 - article marketing
2 - manual blog comment on high PR pages
3 - web 2.0 properties.

If your squidoo / hubpages accounts got canned its because your creating crappy and spammy pages with spun content.

You have to realise that spun content is generally useless unless your spinning to a high level.

Learn to write original content and make your web 2.0 properties look natural.

SEO is a long and hard process, always remember that.

Thank you all for your answers!! i will open a new thread because I got Article Marketing Robot, and i wanna know if only with that software I can make money

Cash is King, if you want to see returns you have to invest some money even if it hurts

First off I want to say congrats on making your first sale, that's often the hardest one... It took me nearly 6 months to do that, and I had bought a $100 bit of software to get there.

Now for the questions:

What are you running as your base program? Wordpress? If so there are a lot of things you can do to build up your SEO, and get traffic to your website without dropping any money on any software or anything else.

Also, how focused are your keywords for your site? Are you trying to rank for one keyword that you have done research in and know you can rank for, or are you just shooting in the dark, aiming at whatever word seems to make money for other people?

If you are using wordpress just let me know, I can give you a whole selection of plugins that work together to help your rankings, all of which are free.

Making money with only organically grown traffic is possible, without having to spend any money, but it is going to take longer to do.

Good Luck

My advice is this, If you cant afford the tools you're going to have to do a lot of time to make up for it but instead of trying to do what the guys with the software are doing, do what the guys without the software are doing.

WHAT YOU SAY!!!! THE HARD WAY!!!! yeah dude, until you can afford to get stuff to make is easy you have to do it the hard way.

but what is the hard way??

well....

1) you have to write an ass load of content

2) post at least on of those article to your site (It amazes me that people think that if they post 300 articles to my site every day then they will rank better... yes, more content is good however, are all the articles posted under the same name? same author? roughly the same length, same 5 images across all the posts. ((Pro tip, harvest a ton if working image links and post as many as you can as often as you can and make sure that you have a ton of images on your server as well)) It looks fake and it's easy to tell it's fake.

3) Manually submit to the article sites |Originals| - but pick a few of the better ranking ones

4) Manually submit to press release sites |Originals|

5) Manually comment on peoples Blogs often and on topic.

6) Manually bookmark the Urls of your site and the sites that give you do-follow comments

7) repeat as often as possible.

*8) If you have a skill, singing, dancing, drawing, film making... being able to hum a merry tune while standing on your head, make a video of it (bonus points if you can somehow make it on topic) and post it to youtube add a link back to your site and then embed the bugger into your site.
Post a link to the youtube version to as many bookmarking sites as you can ((DOUBLE BOUNS)) make it Really odd/wierd/strange and have you can make the standard title simply 'WTF??'

then create as many profiles as you can on the sites and share again and again, that way you have a decent chance of picking up not only traffic but some links. Those links may not be on topic, however they will be THE MOST natural looking links that you can get!

Well.... try that and see what happens..... if it works you did good if it didn't at least you didn't loose any cash eh?

Don't worry how much you are earning right now. Stick with your plan and you will get to it sooner or later. You must ask yourself, would you spend 3 months for earning $10 per day? Would you spend 4 months or more, would it be worth it?

Well I think manual SEO takes time and you have to just focus and stick with your plan. Make content daily, create backlinks for your site wherever you think is possible and have patience. Once your site comes in first page you can then reap the benefits of the hardwork you did or will do i guess

thank you all, you gave nice information now I'm working on it. Want to ask 1 more thing, I bought the Article Marketing Robot, I think this is a good way to make backlinks right? I found a big list here and I imported it. So my question is if I can start making some cash only with this software. Btw, I think I forgot to say something important, I'm not using any domains, I'm using free blogs, specially wordpress because I saw lots of those blogs in first pages even upper than paid domains. So in short, the only things I have right now are free blogs and Article Marketing Robot. Can I make money for investing just by that? What should I do exactly? Thank you so much!
