Working With Online Products: Average Up to $300 Per Month

Working with online products has it’s advantages when you’re creating  a start-up opportunity for yourself in the internet marketing community.  In my last post, I was averaging $200 per month, having let my business sit for a couple of months.

January hit a high of $340, February back down to $200 plus, and now, this month, March, I’m back up to $300 a month average.  I still haven’t kicked the article marketing into high gear, as I’ve been adding websites and optimizing them for traffic, which is generating a few more sales each month.

For the month of April, I have a goal to submit at least 10-20 articles a week!  Since I developed a little system that allows me to create 5 articles in 30 minutes, that shouldn’t be too hard!

My goal is to average $200 per day working online from home.  The other day I read something by Bryan Kumar, a renowned internet marketer who has been online making money since 2002.   He says the reason most people don’t push to make money is that they are not hungry enough.   Until you are actually FORCED into a scenario where you may lose your home or some other such dilemma, he said the average human won’t press themselves to learn.  He said making money online is relatively easy, but pushing yourself through your mental blocks can be the biggest challenge!

Here are the programs I use to help me in my affiliate marketing endeavors:

Update December, 2009 – Wealthy Affiliate Journey

Well — I didn’t stick with my plan, to my earnings fell off for the latter part of October, November and December.  I didn’t do ANY affiliate marketing or article Marketing for that period (kind of reaching a burnout point, however, though my income wasn’t at the $400 per month mark, it had been, without doing anything extra, I was still making $200 a month!

So the good news is that Affiliate Marketing works, me primarily using the Article Marketing model.  Meaning I write, write, write.

I’ve currently got about 150 articles out on Ezine Articles, but alas, not all of them used the method I learned from David Bocock in the 4 Day  Money Making Blueprint.  He provides key information on how to format your articles, and how to get the most out of your article marketing, thus increasing your click throughs.

However, I do believe I have some motivation and have geared back up.  We’ll be cranking out more and more articles and developing niche websites to provide people with the hook-ups to the solutions for their pains and problems.

Three Month Update

Broke $1000 in month three, cumulative.  WOOHOO!  With the programs I’ve got going, One Week Marketing, 4 Day Money Making Blueprint, Wealthy Affiliate, combined with my Micro Niche Finder Tool – I’m hitting my stride.

People seem to think I’m talking out my a$$, but I’m not.  I love internet marketing and writing articles.  It’s something ANYONE can do.

But first, you have to decide to do it!

2 Month Update 6-21 to 8-21-09

I realize I haven’t been updating this page to let you know what’s going on (in case you’re following the progress) – well to be honest, my online business endeavors are continuing to grow!

Since I signed on 6/21/09 with Wealthy Affiliate I’ve been able to make $653.72 online.  Now most people would think that this is nothing.  But it’s $653.72 more than I had before and only for a few extra hours per week!  The beauty of working with Article and Affiliate Marketing is that your Articles continue to make money long after you’ve created them.

I haven’t quit and I’m gaining momentum.  As you progress, you get better and better so your chances of earning larger sums of money just increase.  You learn the “tricks of the trade” so to speak and are more effective in your Article and Affiliate Marketing.

I know I am shameless with my plugs, but people, THIS STUFF WORKS!  It really does.  And I’ve added the Micro Niche Finder Tool to my bag of tools and tricks — it’s really great for removing a lot of dead time from your work.  Your research goes much more quickly with it.

So these are the programs I use and have:

  1. One Week Marketing (Still excellent)
  2. 4 Day Money Making Blueprint (there is some overlap, but still good)
  3. Bum Marketing Method (free)
  4. Micro Niche FinderTool
  5. Wealthy Affiliate Membership (which is totally paid for now)

The commissions I’ve earned with Wealthy Affiliate now entirely pay for the monthly membership fee ($39.99) and this is still a great resource.  Any one of its many tools are well worth the monthly membership fee, but the other reason that I won’t give up this membership is the interaction.

There’s any number of great folks that are members that you can bounce your ideas with, learn from, and pick up on the latest trends. All-in-all, besides what you learn, it’s simply a great resource.

So I’m excited where I am headed (down the path to the removal of my day job) and I can’t wait to get there!

My monthly revenue is approaching $300 extra a month – and I haven’t actually “done” that much to make it go there.  I’m building websites and (and no, there is no additional cost for that) because my hosting service, HOSTGATOR is a one-time monthly flat fee of $14.95 per month for ALL my sites.  I have the business account that allows unlimited websites, etc.  It is well worth it’s weight in gold!

I also spend $19.95 a month on Aweber for a mailing service (but this and Hostgator) I’ve been using since I got online and my other sites cover their costs!

So if you were to break it down:  This is what I spend per month to make what I make:

  • Aweber                          $19.95
  • Hostgator                       $14.95
  • Wealthy Affiliate             $39.99
  • TOTAL COSTS:           $74.99
  • TOTAL REVENUE:    $260.00
  • NET PROFIT:             $185.01
  • PROFIT MARGIN:       71%

You tell me where you can start a business online for a measly $29 (4 Day Money Making Blueprint) and within two months have a profit margin of 71%.

I’m no newbie to the internet, I’ve been online since 2007 and I started making money immediately.  I took out the Aweber and Hostgator Services back then.  In my first month I made $68.10 spending a total of $34.90 to do so.  That’s 50% profit right from the get.

Yes there are additional costs — those being domain names.  At GoDaddy, they range from .89 (for Dot.Info sites) to $10.87 for Dot.Com sites.  This is an ANNUAL fee, not a monthly one!

So, as a former offline advertising and marketing person (now an online internet advertising and marketing person) I can tell you that the internet is the place for the small fry guy to create a sustainable income on line.  It can be done.  Yes it takes time, but it is well worth it, especially as you watch it grow!

And bottom line, it’s pure and simple fun!  I don’t know anywhere else where you can have fun and get paid to do it.
