At the start of the year I kind of let my affiliate marketing efforts slip. With my Google Adwords ban and just not having the right offers caused a drop in income. The top offers that I was promoting thorough my landing pages were no longer available on the networks. As I had a good history with those types of offers it was difficult to re-tune the same style for different efforts. As I slipped further and further away from the goal I had set for myself I focused on my other income sources. With the affiliate industry changing so much in the last few months it is now time to get back on track and create winning campaigns.  There are many offers out there that can be profitable and with a little fine-tuning can kick start my road to recovery in affiliate marketing. The first step is to sort out the campaigns offered through my affiliate networks. Once I have a campaign I would like to work with I need to create the landing page. This is the most crucial step as the landing page is going to drive customers to the offers. On average I can spend a week on creating a winning landing page. Once I am happy with the landing page I start to look for traffic sources that would complement my landing page and the audience I am trying to reach. There are many different traffic sources to pick from and experience will tell you which ones will have the best response rate for your offer. If this last step goes well then my campaign will start to have some response. If the response is low I can play around with the landing page or try a different traffic source. There are many ways to get your campaign profitable and each affiliate marketer will have different methods that they use. The steps I take I have proven to work for the type of affiliate marketing that I do, but others might want to try something different.  The effort you put into your landing pages is key to making money, and I stress that testing is the best way to get the landing page to work.  Now that I can focus on my affiliate marketing business again I will document my next profitable campaign for a future post.

The last few days sales have been picking up on a few of my sites. These sales came as a result of a lot of hard work and learning. The funny thing is that I work very hard I would say even more then at any job I have ever had. The difference is that I really like my online business and the joy I get out every site or campaign that I create. Unlike a regular job I also get to keep the full profit for my hard work and do not have any dumb bosses telling me what to do. There is such a joy knowing that I can work at my own pace and do what I want to do. The other day I had worked for 5 hours straight and then went out and took the afternoon off. Even away from my computer I was still making money. What other job can give you this or other type of business. The online marketing world is filled with opportunity you just need to apply yourself to start seeing results. Anyone out there who has not made money online or just small amount do not give up. I can tell you there were many days I wanted to quit, but I stuck to the work at hand.

The results started to give way to a good amount of money. It has given me my freedom from working for other and to do the things I like. The ad’s at the top of this blog the little 125 X 125 squares gave me my freedom. When I joined these affiliate networks little did I know what lifestyle  I would get for just a hard work and effort. Live your dream starting building an income online.
