Hi everyone. I've been building websites and doing projects that involve a little bit of IM for a long time, but I've never made a serious go at making money directly from affiliate marketing. Since it is my first try, I'm going to focus on doing as much with testing and comparing things as I can.

As of now, I have 10 purchased IG accounts that I've already warmed up, and I've links in the bios. I have 3 different products I'm marketing, and each has 3 versions of the funnel (very slight variations at this point.) Each account is pointed at a different funnel, except for one duplicate. After accumulating enough data to see what's working, I'll eliminate the worst performers and try new things. Then rinse and repeat. I don't know how much will be tweaking funnels, and how much will be choosing new products or methods.

So far, I've gotten 9 clicks from doing IG F/UF, so I'm pretty far from having enough data to take action on. Of the 3 products, though, 1 has ⅔ of the clicks, so that might be the beginning of a trend.

Monthly Costs:
GMT2 - $10 per month
Proxies - $11 per month
VPS - $11 per month

1 time cost - $12 for accounts

First Goal - $100 per day

If/when I get to my first goal, I'll decide if I want to set another goal level and continue the journey. $100 per day is enough to live above total poverty where I'm at, which is a good foundation for building more projects or scaling this one. I need to clear $32 per month to break even each month, and I'm promoting expensive enough products that I would only need 2-3 sales to do it.

I'm using IG F/UF to promote for now, since it seems to be a relatively cost effective marketing method, if you find a good angle.

My next moves are to start making my own accounts for IG, the ones I bought weren't that great, and I don't think that aged is doing me that much good, since I'm getting a lot of action blocks on not much action. I know it could be the proxies, too, so I'll be trying another provider for the next accounts I set up. It's cheaper to make my own accounts, and I'd know their entire history, so it's at least worth trying. I'm also thinking of testing a content locker with some accounts, as that might be easier to convert people with, though I don't know. So I'll test.

I plan to update at least weekly, more often if exciting things are happening.
 
Day 1

So one day in and half of my accounts just got hit with phone verifications :( They're only following about 45 a day, that doesn't seem that risky.

I'll probably just use smspva or something, but it's not great for the confidence/motivation.

I started work on a different style of landing page, and I'm considering trying to just register a couple new accounts to see if I can keep them healthy.
 
Phone verifications are normal, I always get them. But then it will be fine.
 
All of my accounts are working again (they should have been sooner, but my parents came to visit and it didn't feel right to ignore them and sit at my computer.) I'm slowly collecting followers, and I have finally taken the time to figure out bulk posting in GMT2 so I'll be utitlizing that.

I wrote a program to take big folders of images and change the MD5 hash, so that's a nice time saver.

My next big move is to start making more accounts, I think I'll try to buy some PVA yahoo accounts and make my own IGs with them.
