A newbies journey to $1000/m

Thanks for the support.
By the way, I got another 3 hops and a buy form view at clickbank so that seems to be semi-working. Next 100 youtube accounts after I finish with my old niches will go towards clickbank probably.

Quick Update on yday

Finished the day with 265 clicks 8 downloads and $3.55 earned. Today is starting off good as its the first day of spring break I woke up at a normal time ( 8 am instead of 3 pm ) and I plan on working ALL day. Traffic yday was 789 hits.

Recently the mobile view exploit tools were released and I boosted a few of my older videos that were ranking good - attempting to climb even higher in rankings. Sadly a few days later ( 13th march ) those videos got taken down, along with every single video which had my site in the description, I lost over 400 youtube accounts used on several different private proxies, my own IP and my VPS. That killed my traffic completely hence my earnings crashed as well.

The same thing happened to me.
Thanks bro for inspiring me , I 'll try hard again.
Good luck to you.:biggthump

Yeah youtube isn't a too reliable source for traffic, is it ?

I finally started working on my PPD niche which I'll be promoting via youtube + SEO both.
I have the EMD and the site is almost ready, just submitted my first 500 word article. Now to start social bookmarking it and all that crap.. The main keyword has 3600 exact searches and there are tons of longtails to target around 200-300 exact per keyword.

Day 7

Quite a long day today, woke up at 8 am. So depressed, school is about to start again
Today I wrote an article for one of my PPD sites that I'm going to promote via SEO, it's an EMD with 3600 exact searches and tons of longtails between 200-300 exacts to target as well. Waiting for it to get indexed so I can start linkbuilding and adding more content.

MNS rankings are all over the place, I don't know what tool to believe.
Checking myself shows #6, mate said #6, tools say anywhere from 6, 13, 56 and 64..
Perhaps in Estonia I'm #6 and rest are uh.. I don't know.. I'll just focus on getting it higher and higher untill it starts getting some real traffic.

Applied for a CPA network today and was accepted. Saw a few interesting offers and started promoting them via forums to start with. That helped me get some forum profile backlinks to my PPD site which was quite relevant as well so that's good.
Had 36 clicks on the offer so far, no leads..It's a simlpe email submit and I thought it'd convert really good at the places I promoted it.. Oh well

Wanted to try comment rating as well for a temporary income while my sites are ranking and all that, didn't work out too good as fxbobs comment rater needed proxies and scrapebox proxies didn't work for some reason, I wasn't able to do it. Guess it's good so I won't end up like thec00kchris - comment rating a few days making some big bucks and then getting bored and losing motivation. I rather think long term, hence video uploading and SEO

FileIce day is at $4.10 with 161 clicks 7 leads ( two 0.05 ones from brazil again )
Traffic on the FI site is 832 hits so not too bad, probs hit 850 before it resets.

If I ever read this again myself, I apologize to myself for not highlighting the important parts this time, I'm soo frickin tired...

Quick update on yday :
Traffic 835 hits, not bad..
CPA offer had 52 clicks but no leads, that's a shame..
FileIce day finished at 4.80 203 clicks 8 conversions..

BIG NEWS

My MNS finally got it's first hits, 3 UV and an average of 6 minutes spent on the site which also got me my first adsense click worth $0.3 approx. Not much but hey, it's just one click, can't wait to see more traffic. Gonna work my ass off for that site today

My PPD MNS also had some visitors but it doesn't have FI on it yet, gonna write another article for it today and put up the link on the site

Day 8

Decided to start updating this the day after, since FileIce stats reset 8 am for me and this way I don't have to bother with these quick updates all the time. Yesterday I wrote another 500 word article for my PPD MNS, set up the download and all that and I'm already getting a fair bit of traffic although sescout says I'm not ranked for any of the keywords I put in.

Regular MNS is getting some traffic still, another two unique visitors and a lot of pageviews by them. Bought an article for the site yesterday from a seller here so I can add more content and target some longtails. No clicks by the few visitors, having trouble with the adsense plugin on Wordpress, it's only showing ads on the home page and not the blog articles for some reason..

FileIce day was pretty good, had some good paying downloads. Main FileIce site had about 1100 visits so that's starting to pick up again, here's the graph for traffic.


Quite nice, videos are getting ranked and everything is going uphill again. Youtube account provider is lazy atm so I have to concentrate on my MNS for now. As you see 10th march was my best day and I was doing a stable $20 per day till that, then came the famous youtube massacre.

Made $11.60 on FI with 257 clicks and 8 downloads. Conversion rate is a little low but decent avgCpa, hope conversion rate improves within the next few days. This is my best month on FI so far and I plan on doubling that next month

What is your username on FileIce. I might know you

Won't post that publicly, add me on skype if you're curious or send me a PM.
I'm a VIP on the forums by the way.

Hey man, I've just read your thread. I wish you best of luck since I'm in a similiar position.

Just wanted to ask you about FileIce since I haven't had much luck with CPA networks.

How hard is it getting approved ? Was there anything special you had to do ? (I'm assuming they didn't call you in Estonia)

Also how do you get those 100s of videos you upload daily ? I'm guessing you aren't making them yourself.

Anyway I'd just wanted to start doing some CPA couse it seems like a waaay better option then ClickBank. Trying that with some twitter accs with TweetAdder but I get barely any hops so I figured it would work better if I replace ClickBank with CPA offers and add videos to it.

Anyway, I wish you best of luck yet again and I hope you can help me with these questions.

Cheers.

aren't you too young for this thing? still good luck bro, keep us posted in any case...

It's not hard to get approved to FileIce, you need to have a website up that'd work with PPD and it should be semi-decent with a paid domain and all that. Just be honest and show them that you have a general idea of IM and explain what you will be doing to promote with them and how willing you are to improve, explain your motivations and all that. They're not too strict.

I used to make my own videos by taking some unpopular video for my niche or by recording it myself and then add a watermark, some good music I personally enjoy and a credits screen linking to my site. After that I tried just hijacking other peoples videos, mass watermarking them and cutting it up a bit to bypass youtube dup content filters. Then I just made the title different, fixed up the tags and description and mass uploaded them.

I saw more success with using stolen videos and my own descriptions and all that than with original videos which took so much more effort so I stuck with that and still do that.

I honestly don't think so, the sooner I start the more changes I have in the feature and considering how much interest I have in computers overall and IM, it's just what I enjoy doing.

Wish you the best. Seems that you are on the right track. Just keep up the good work and you will hit that target.

I try my best, just gotta stop browsing these damn forums and checking my stats and get some actual work done >.<

Nice age man, good luck I'm sure you will make it

Good luck OP! Keep updating us your income report here, that would be great. I think your on the right path than most are, especially making money.

Thanks to both of you.
It's one of my main goals - to keep updating this daily and not fail any followers, if I have any. That's also a motivation to do atleast some work daily.

I have the same problem mate , this forum it's addictive .

Yeah, but the thing about being on the forum all day is that is has diminishing returns! If you close BHW and get some work done, you'll always find a lot of cool stuff waiting for you when you get back. So try not to do the instant gratification thing.

Good point.
I only tend to browse the new posts so constantly refreshing after reading a few interesting threads works wonders. Haven't been reading too much today, just trying to enjoy the last day of spring break.
