I just did a quick check on sales for me last year (i.e. 2008) and because I’m a stats freak I wanted to know which hours in a typical 24 hour period were the hottest for me.

I thought I might just share it with you people the actual stats in %-ages numerically and graphically and see if you people have similar results as me based on your knowledge (either with hard stats or not).

Here it is (Based on PST time):

In A 12 Hourly Period …

00:00 – 11:59 (36.5%)
12:00 – 23:59 (63.5%)

In A 6 Hourly Period …

00:00 – 05:59 (12.5%)
06:00 – 11:59 (24.0%)
12:00 – 17:59 (35.7%)
18:00 – 23:59 (27.8%)

23:00 – 23:59 (3.37%)

Enjoy these!

P.S. I’ve no doubt some of you will make use of these stats (either mine or your own) to your own advantage.

You see … To survive and thrive in this business, you will need to think and act like any other brick and mortar business that quickly needs to generate cashflow to sustain the business. No point focusing on business structures and such at the beginning because that’s usually the cause of many a failure.

Don’t misread me though. I wasn’t talking about ignoring your business building activities. What I’m saying is START EARNING CASH and when you eventually do, then you can start building on your business (by outsourcing for example).

Hope I wasn’t confusing you because it is past midnight as I’m sharing this with you.

Till later!

Pretty excited to be sharing with you my results using a particular method so far.

I’ve been marketing affiliate products using video for quite a while and have had pretty good success at it. And this is the first time I’m posting about it.

Earlier this month, I created a video clip that is under 3 minutes long. And uploaded the video to a few sites. This particular entire process took all of just 14 minutes. After uploading it, I left it alone (basically, no social bookmarking or anything of that sort was done for it).

2 days later, it started clocking sales for it and in 20 days, have already chalked up 9 sales transactions (as seen below). This is only just 1 example of the many different videos I’ve uploaded before.

Recently I’ve decided to create a quality video course to reveal and teach others how to market and make money using videos.

What I would like to know is …
1) Is this some product you would personally be willing to pay for? If so, what’s the price range? And if not, why not?
2) Assuming you’re interested, what would you like to see in this video course?

Love to digest any inputs or answer any questions you may have.

Cheers and Blessings!

P.S. Chances are I’ll also contribute a review copy (if and when I create this video course) to someone who provides the most contribution using comments here so do post away.

——————————————————–

Just to update this post a little:

Another sale came in for the particular niche which I posted earlier and the new screenie reflects that …

Really cool don’t you think. I’ve no doubt that this one would eventually go on to produce $500 in due time.

Ok now, I just thought I might provide yet another example to show how effective videos can be in providing passive income.

Here’s niche #2:

This video was created back much earlier this year and took all of 12 minutes to create, upload and tag.

It produced on average a sale every month for me (some months twice). The only month which did not produce for this particular video was back in March. No complains here.

After refunds and 13 sales later … nett profit of $296.68. Neat!

Feel free to ask questions if you have any. (Don’t ask about the niche though)

And good news if you’re a Clickbank affiliate that resides in either Hong Kong, India and Singapore as direct deposits (XACH) are now available in these countries.

I logged into my account settings and see that these countries are now enabled.

Hallelujah!

Anyway, recently I had the opportunity to review a product called One Month Affiliate.

“One Month Affiliate” is an info product that teaches people how to make money from affiliate marketing. So how does it fare? Is it worth the money? Does it provide great value? READ ON!

But first … the proof that I actually have the product:

And another one …:

Ok, with that over, One Month Affiliate is basically a video tutorial series that shows you just what you need to do to make steady income month after month in affiliate marketing. For the complete beginner, the learning curve might be a little steep but it’s still pretty good overall.

For those who have got a bit of affiliate marketing experience under their belt but are struggling to make and break the US$1000++/month target, this could very well be the perfect product for you to double, triple or even QUADRUPLE your income and I ain’t exaggerating here.

Overall, it’s definitely worth the price you’re paying for although I felt that Alex (the creator of the course) could have put in a little more effort and value by making sure his videos were loud enough (they were a little too soft) and that the videos on keyword research by done more thoroughly.

Pros: Videos were easy to understand, Methods are ethical and legal, Techniques can be easily followed and implemented, Support is great, Course is extremely affordable

Cons: Volume a little too soft (I’m sure Alex is working on this right now), Not designed for advanced/expert affiliate marketers, Could have spent a little more time on some videos (No biggie)

Summary: 2 Thumbs up for a great value course! I’d say get it right NOW … !

You see … I believe that those who are really hitting the jackpot tend to …

(one or more of the following)
* have more quality products for sale
* have a more established name and authority in the marketplace
* know how to outsource more effectively
* run more pay-per-click campaigns
* have better seo knowledge and application
* write, produce and submit more articles to more directories
* produce and submit more videos on more video sites
* have more listings on directories, auctions and online classifieds (e.g Craigslist, Gumtree, USFreeAds, eBay, etc)
* have bigger and more responsive lists (i.e quantity and quality)
* have better copywriting skills
* have better graphics, sales copy and webpages
* offer more services in the marketplace
* provide better support to prospective and existing clients
* create better and more unique content and websites (for adsense, site-flipping, etc)
* look for better JV partners more often
* spend more time on income producing activities

ABOVE ALL ELSE, they take MORE MASSIVE ACTION than the majority.

Hope this helps and blesses you! (With this post, i’m speaking to myself much more than to others)

Some time ago (was just 3 weeks ago in fact), I made a post titled ClickBank Commissions. Well, I just want to take this time to:

1) Update you on how I’m doing with affiliate marketing on ClickBank and

2) ClickBank with Adwords … and whether that’s profitable (in my case at least).

To start off, take a look at this screenshot:

I’ve been doing ok so far in my 1st month of ClickBank affiliate marketing (i’ve done aff marketing before … just not with CB) with the highest on any single day being $70. Not much but decent to say the least. *I know that’s snigger-able for some of you big fishes out that*

Anyways, today was an absolute breakthrough. I got back from church with a friend mid afternoon and when I logged in to my account, I nearly fell off the chair. God be my witness!

Not because I did not think it was possible to achieve that much in a day, heck … some people hit $5000++ in a day. But because it was more than twice I’ve ever achieved on a single day over the last 3 weeks.

I’m definitely on track to hit at least $1k within my first 30 days with Clickbank so that has to be good. But it certainly can get better.

For those that are starting out or have started out for some time and have not seen much for your results so far, I hereby encourage you to stay the course and keep your eyes on the prize. Whatever you’re doing (be it article marketing, craigslist, videos, pay per click, yakety yakety), keep at it for at least a little while longer.

Hope this little post has been interesting for you all. For those using Adwords, I strongly suggest that you check this software out. It’s a power tool I promise ya. (For what it’s worth, I think non PPC guys could use this out as well because it helps you look for little and untapped niches).

Tell ya what … for those that actually do get the tool via the link above, contact me and I’ll give you a little hand at starting out.

Thanks be to God for my decent results so far. Cheers all! =)

P.S Many of my sales (not all) are coming via Adwords and my ROI is approximately 3 to 1 so far. As I’ve said earlier, the tool I’m using is an awesome help.

An Update on 21st Feb (my local time):

And … because I thought about you guys, I’ve also decided to share it here.

With most productive actions (e.g marketing, copywriting) that you take while doing internet marketing, there are 3 keys that you must bear in mind and actually apply if you wanted to explode your results.

Here they are …

1 – Leverage It

Yes … leverage whatever you do (when possible).

Example 1: Suppose you do article marketing and have written an article that’s ready to be submitted to your favorite article directory. Instead of just submitting to that one article directory, why not submit them to several of the most popular and buzzing article directories out there? You’ve already written your article so it won’t take much more time submitting that article to a few more directories.

Example 2: If you love creating videos, instead of just submitting to the world’s most popular video site (it’s YouTube in case you’ve been living in a cave all these while), try submitting them to other video sites like LiveVideo, Google Video, Break.com, etc

Tip: MetaCafe gets me LOTS of views (Shhh…)

Tip: If you can stumble it or digg it, do it! (This gets you trickles or tsunamis loads of more traffic depending on how you do it)

Tip: If you feel your blog post has value, why not submit it to article directories as well?

2 – Automate It

If you’ve been doing internet marketing for a while and is observant enough, you would know some of your most common and repetitive actions. If these take up too much of your time and can be automated (or semi-automated) in some way, you should definitely do so. This would save you loads of time, effort and $$$ in the long run.

Example: Article or Video Submission comes to mind. There are loads more though.

3 – Outsource It

Oh yes … this is one key you CANNOT do without if you want to do well online. No man is an island and as far as I do recall, I’ve never seen anyone who can master coding, graphics, sales copy, traffic generation, SEO, keyword research, pay per click marketing, et cetera all in one go. Sure you may know a bit of each of them but that only makes you a Jack … (you know the rest, don’t ya?)

For Pete’s sake and for your sake, please outsource tasks that:

1) You don’t do well in

2) You dislike doing

3) You have no time for

Granted … outsourcing may cost you some money upfront but almost always, it makes for a wiser bet.

Phew … I’m glad I’m done with sharing these pointers with ya. Hope you enjoyed them.

Feel free to share your comments or experience with the rest if you like to.

God Bless! =)

1 month down … 11 more to go in this year.

Anyway, I thought I just wanted to share with you guys that I’ve started doing ClickBank affiliate marketing earlier this week (i.e Monday) and very quickly, as if to encourage that what I’ve been doing so far works, I’ve had my first commissions.

What I saw on Thursday night (my time):

Inspired from that, I continued doing what I had been doing the first couple of day … and lo and behold, this is what I saw some few hours ago:

It gets prettier doesn’t it? Though I have to say that this 2nd time round wasn’t as exciting as the 1st (i.e seeing the affiliate commissions). That’s human nature for you.

In any case, I’ll keep on keeping on and let’s see where my effort gets me (hopefully, let’s get some massive action and momentum going).

For those who have been doing affiliate marketing for some time and have yet to get results, do keep the faith and keep at it. Learning is more important at the start. For those who have results that look 10 times as good as mine, maybe you’ll like to share a comment or drop me a message?

Have a great week ahead and an even better February. Cheers … !

 P.S This isn’t my first time doing affiliate marketing. But it’s certainly my first as far as ClickBank AM is concerned … =)

If you’re unacquainted with it, it’s basically a fancy word for “article marketing” (at least for me it is). You’re basically furiously writing away article after article per niche and at the end pushing for your readers and prospects to head on to an affiliate program or squeeze page with profits in mind of course.

There’s no reason why it should not work if you can pump out articles every day (like me ).

Just suppose you could write 10 articles each day. In a month, you would have 300 articles “working” for you. In a year, you would have no less than 3600 articles and these would be little soldiers that work a very nice residual income if you know what I mean.

If you’re interested to find out more, you can either google “bum marketing” or just check out http://www.bummarketingmethod.com/

P.S I’m currently working furiously on my salesletter product so keep an eye for that.

Cheers and Merry X’mas-licious 2 ya!
