Affiliate Money Maker

I have to report one more Vigrx Plus sale - my 7th sale of this product over all the time I’ve been promoting it (approximately 3 months).  This is still the Spanish speaking market, and still the first-time customer. I’ve yet to see the returning customers getting their refill orders - but when I do this will be the beginning of the truly passive income That’s where the real beauty of LEC and other similar affiliate programs is - the biggest difficulty is in getting started,  but once you got the ball rolling those sales will just be happening without much effort on your part.

As for conversion rates: I have previously reported my progress with improving conversion rates here but that was based on the monthly data. Today I have looked at my total number of clicks vs. total number of sales during the whole period I’ve been working with this product - the current result is 1:231 as opposed to 1:300 I used to have earlier. Well, the key to more sales now is sending the same kind of targeted traffic (or figure out how to make it even more targeted) in even larger volumes.

In addition to the downline signup I’ve had earlier today in LEC, I just got a commission notification! This is my third VigRX Plus sale this month - and again it’s the Spanish version! Don’t say I didn’t tell you about the benefits of playing in the international markets!

I am very pleased to discover that my conversion rates for the Spanish VigRX Plus site have improved, too - I used to have them in the range of approximately 1:300, currently they are at 1:106. I must be sending more targeted traffic lately! Well, that’s what you call the learning curve

This blog has been started by me for several purposes:

• sharing my own experience as an affiliate
• reviewing different affiliate programs to help people choose the best programs to promote
• sharing different money making tips with other affiliates
• and of course building my own downline.

My readers can judge for themselves how well I am coping so far with program reviews and sharing tips - as for building the downline, I thought I’d share what I got to so far.

Here are the downline affiliate signups I got up to today:

• WorldNiche - 1 signup
• Leading Edge Cash - 3 signups
• MoreNiche - 2 signups
• JoeBucks - 1 signup
• GenBucks - 1 signup
• MagnaRX Cash - 2 signups (one of which I actually “inherited” from LEC when the program was just launched)

I consider these results pretty good, taking into account that my main source of downline building traffic is this blog which is just a month old now. I’ve only been participating in one affiliate forum so far - I need to be doing more, I know, just haven’t had the time yet.

However, just getting people to sign up as your downline is not enough. GenBucks pays $1 for each downline signup. MoreNiche offers several options of monetizing downline signups - from a one-time fee of $30 for each affiliate in your downline who makes at least 1 sale to percentage of your downline sales down to the 4th tire - that one is the most profitable option potentially so I tend to use that one with them. In any case, most affiliate programs I work with will pay certain percentage of sales in your downline - which can build you a nice passive income but to achieve that, your downline needs to be making sales. I haven’t had a single downline sale yet.

If you have signed up to any of the above programs using my affiliate link and need help feel free to email me at amm(at)affiliatemoneymaker.net and I’ll be happy to help you and answer your specific questions about the programs you are trying to work with. Your success is my success so I will try my best to help you get started and finally bring in those sales. For more general things, I will continue providing tips on this blog.

Woke up this morning to find another email notifying me of a sale I’ve just made - this time, it is ProSolution Gel at WorldNiche! Just yesterday, I’ve been looking at the conversion rates for different WN sites published at WorldNiche affiliate forum - and the conversion rates for Prosolution Gel site were stated as 1:67. My conversion rates for it so far are 1:49 - but my traffic is pretty targeted while those WN conversion stats are said to be for any kind of traffic including untargeted. Well, let’s see if my current conversion rate sticks. Oh and did I say it is still a 60% commission? We still have time till July 4 to benefit from the highest commission I’ve ever seen in this industry.

What this sale did teach me is that with WorldNiche programs, you absolutely HAVE to use tracking codes if you wish to analyze later on where your sales come from. That is, if you are using more than one banner or link or more than one site, of course. Which I do. I had this product mentioned on this blog, on one more site of mine, and in multiple other locations including even GoogleBase (I need to do a post about using Google Base for affiliate marketing). My mistake - these links didn’t have a tracking code on them. When I analyzed whatever stats are available to me, I have seen traffic from different sources. The final sale, however, happened when someone just came to the Pro Solution Gel site directly - but that means they have previously visited it coming from one of my links and they had my affiliate cookie on their computer - this is how this sale became possible.

Since I pledged to report my experience as an affiliate marketer on this blog, here goes: I just made another sale with Leading Edge Cash! The previous sale has been reported here earlier this month.

This sale is again of VigRX Plus, and again in the Spanish speaking market. Well, like I said before, you are missing out big time if you are not trying your hand at international markets! This one was just for two packs ($72 commission) - but considering the high quality of the product and all the positive feedback from the customers that I see, I’m pretty sure the chances for a refill order are quite high - and as with any other LEC product, I get the commission for these repeat sales as well. Sweet isn’t it? I’m slowly building me a long term passive income!

Today I have received my LEC check for the last month (May). They pay once a month by check or wire transfer (which I think is only applicable to the US-based affiliates) for the previous month and, which is important for me being Europe-based, their checks always arrive very fast (unlike the old AdSense which not only takes two months to pay you but also takes ages for the check to get delivered, grr!)

Last month I made only $92 with Leading Edge Cash due to my attention being distracted by setting up other web sites and trying out other affiliate programs and different new things so I even forgot to put it on hold as I initially meant to. The program has no minimum payout level by default but you can set your own limit.

I will be reviewing the LEC affiliate program some time soon - in the meantime, sign up and see for yourself what it’s like.

My turn to do the Famous Blue Wallet post! Like I mentioned a while ago, I have earned the blue wallet by posting on MoreNiche forum - and today it has been delivered to me! It has been delivered by a DHL courier, pretty fast. Nice of the MoreNiche lads!

Here it is:

Nice one isn’t it? Now, I need to make more sales to store the money in it!

Just thought I’d post about a sale I just made of VigRX Plus. My commission is $103 - not bad!

Leading Edge Cash is what I’ve spent most time doing so far. I am doing other things as well though but considering the amount of time I’ve invested into LEC products, they are my main money makers as of now. I hope to diversify my income in the nearest future, however, as I am now working on more things from other affiliate programs as well.

What initially made me look at LEC is their launch of translated sites for VigRX Plus. I have checked the markets and the competition there was nothing near the competition in the English speaking market - so I thought I just can’t miss the opportunity. However, what I saw there was nothing like my expectations. In international markets, it seems to take a ton of targeted traffic to make a conversion. I am still researching and comparing though.

I think I will do a post some time soon about being an affiliate in an international market because there are some specifics to it. It’s just, well, different and deserves a post of its own.

I have just posted yesterday about the newly launched MagnaRX Cash program - and I just got an email notification about a signup in my downline! (Nice of them to notify me by email, btw - actually, most programs I work with have this option - it can be turned off but I would advise you to make sure it’s on so you know right away when you make a sale or get a signup)

The program surely looks very attractive to affiliates - and I hope we’ll be making some nice money with it. I plan on putting up a site or two for their products soon.

Been busy with a lot of stuff lately so just a quick update on what’s been going on. I’ve been working on a few sites promoting  different affiliate products.  Some of these will be centered around just one product, others will be more like small portals providing comparisons of different products and all kinds of related information. These are mostly static sites, though for a couple of markets I would like to try the blog model - considering the ease of interaction with other sites and people potentially interested in the products. Of course, running a blog is not like just putting up a static site - done once and for good - a blog needs to be updated which certainly takes time. I’d like to do a detailed post some time soon on the benefits and drawbacks of each of these models for affiliate sites

I have posted at the affiliate forum I frequent asking for the feedback on this blog and got a lot of useful tips and comments. Thanks to everybody for these! One of them was to post more of my personal experience - which I surely intend to do. Also, people have started subscribing to my blog’s feed - great to know it. And no, unlike many other blogs, I do not intend on giving this up anytime soon!
