Lynn,

I know this thread is old but have you been able to make any money from this website?

Actually things sold well the last couple days. I find that every month the first week is horrible but then the middle 10-12 sales are good. This goes for 2-3 different websites I have as well. Just an interesting observation.

July is probably the slowest month of the year for most online sales, or at least that has been my experience over the past 4-5 years.

Is your CTR (click through rate) the same, but sales dropped – or has your CTR dropped? If its just sales, and you have the same amount of traffic, click through to your landing page and then merchant and make sure they havent made any drastic changes that might affect conversions.

lynn, do you ever have a stretch of really bad days in a row with affiliate marketing? So far July has been not so fun… lol . Is it common to have a string of bad days despite your normal avr sell through being about 15%?

I appreciate your kind words, Michael. I am truly glad to hear that you have gotten something out of this that you can use to make changes and work towards something you really enjoy doing!

I hope you’ll stick around, and maybe even join us on the discussion forum

Lynn,

I want to thank you for the help you have given me on this project. Even though it hasn’t been one on one and its been a strictly trial and error technique you’ve sparked the interest and creativity as well as laid out the ground work for how to do this.

Going into only the 2nd month I have doubled what I mad last month. I couldn’t have done it without reading this post that I stumbled upon.

Thank you, this is the beginning of me doing what I want to do with my life.

Michael b.

Just a fast update. I’ve already surpassed what I’ve made last month with 9 days left to go. My site has also grown from just a couple pages last month to nearly 27 pages. When the technique works keep doing it

Just be sure to track each change individually so that you know what worked and why. This often slows down the process, but is beneficial to your bottom line in the long run.

Well this month so far my site which I have expanded now has preformed well again. Not as well at the same point last month but still good. I am at $232.28 profit.

I am also trying new marketing techniques to expand and new ideas. So we’ll see how it ends up this month but I am determined.

That would be my guess – but it depends more on the niche than whether the site is based around products or information. Information on electronics should do well, for example.

Lynn, Would you think auction ads would do best in product oriented niches more so than info-based niches?

Great stats, Michael – thanks for sharing!

I should think that the Auction Ads would do very well in certain niches…
