April 2009 - WSO Prebuild affiliate sites and eBay Plugin for Wordpress

I don’t know why but I always scedule major things just before I leave. Or is it that the pressure of only having a few hours left before I can finish something makes me more productive :)

I am leaving tomorrow for a visit to the counttry where my wife is born, Suriname. We are going there for 4 weeks and I am taking my laptp with me but I am not sure about the wifi access or internetcafe’s there. So I assume I will be only online every couple of days.

Friday I launched a new Warrior Special Offer which you can find here http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/73539-prebuild-affiliate-sites-pack-2-pack-3-perfect-ipk-review-conduitstyle.html

It’s two pack’s of 10 sites build with the template I offer and filled with products from Amazon. All you do is change the affiliate id and you are up and running. Each site will cost you $8 if you buy the special deal. It’s way to low I know.

An other thing I am trying to finish before we leave is a standalone version of my eBay plugin for Wordpress. I got a lot of people asking for it as they want the plugin but not the template. See http://www.wpnichetemplates.com/ebay-plugin-for-wordpress/ where I offer the template with the plugin as a bonus.

It would be easy to just pull it out of that package and offer it like that but I was writing some code and had some ideas to incooperate in it. So I have a bit less then 24 hours to see if I can add that f not it will be an upgrade. One thing I do know is that I want to offer it for free for 3 days so you can try it and only if you like it you would have to pay for it. An offer you can’t refuse I assume :)

The other project that kept me bussy the last weeks is my new main site http://xlshopping.nl This is monsterious. I got datafeeds from about 900 online dutch shops that will feed this site. We (my wife and I ) are about half way of mapping the right categories to each other and a lot of code is ready. It’s a site I am real proud of and got high hopes for. It was never my intention but it looks like it’s going to be one of the largest comparison sites in the Netherlands.

I am also building small sites like
wii prijzen
playstation3 prijzen
xbox 360 prijzen
nintendo ds prijs

If only I made enough to outsource some tasks :) Let’s see if I can finish that eBay plugin first

Earn $1000 a day Membership

Every pupil needs a teacher :)

So after I made the decision on making $10.000 a month I realized i needed some goalsettig. I broke down the numbers and found it interesting to see that with enough small numbers a large would emerge.

Till now I always disregarded the few dollars I made here and there and always looking for the big bang.

Dennis the author from $5 a day which is a great ebook also has a site called earn1kaday and altho my first goal is $10.000 a month which is $335 a day it appield to me to as I saw good reviews from it.

So last week I decided to join and untill now I have no regrets. It’s a bussy forum and besides the great advice Dennis also provides products to download. Products I normally would buy in the warriorforum. That alone is worth more then the $39 a month. Some are a great addition to my membership site www.web2marketeer.com as they come with PLR, MRR or resale rights.

Right now there is a challenge going on where members are setting personal goals for next thuesday to write as many articles as they can. Challenges like these are great as it stimulates you …or at least it does that to me. As there are some great marketing minds in that forum there are real good tips on how to write good articles fast, finding the right niches, selecting keywords, tips on formatting etcetc..

It’s not a salesletter but I do recommand this forum. If I would advice someone interested in affiliatemarketing and internetmarketing to join forums I would list 3.

Warriorforum (free)
Earn1kaday $39 a month
Wealthy Affiliate $29.99 a month

Getting an education at school at college or even university will cost you a lot more but if you read the advice and apply the knowledge the rewards are so much greater…I just need to work on the APPLY part :)

Using Wordpress to make Review Sites


I have been looking into review sites for quite some time and never really came to it. I kept on hearing good things and read the report from Chris Remple (the lazy affiliate) about what he calls conduit sites.

I do realize that just a normal site with a bunch of affiliate links is no longer the way to go. I just bought an expensive script for price comparison and have to think twice if I either make my own script or use a script I saw at Wp Review Site

I must admit that it looks very good and I am tempted. It turns wordpress into a review site by using a custom form of the post page i guess. Of course does it need a theme that can handle the extra features.

I had plans earlier to build a script for review sites , even registered a domain for it but didn’t thought of using wordpress before. Knowing how much time i have (not) it might be a good idea to just buy this.

If you have wpreview let me know what you think of it.

CPA or Cost Per Action Affiliate Offers

One of the main focusses in my quest to get to 10K is CPA offers. CPA stands for Cost Per Action and is mostly used in lead generation offers. Offers where you get paid when you send a visitor to a landingpage where they need to enter their zipcode or emailadress. These offers pay anything between $0.75 to …several hundreds. But most simple offers are in the range of $1 - $5

There are several great affiliate networks that focus on these kind of offers

Some example ads are
An azoogleAds campain

An Maxbounty campain

The great thing about these kind of offers is that there are plenty of free trials. Fi an offer from stamps.com Thru NeverblueAds you can offer a free trial which pays you as a publisher $11.25 per lead. The EPC (earnings per click) for this offer is $1.05 which means that in everage you will earn over a dollar per click. So almost 1 out of 10 visitors you send to that offer will become a lead.

Using CPA offers like these is a great way to supplement your Google Adsense earnings.

Yesterday I bought a great report from the Lazy Affiliate Chris Rempel about a way to present the offers. I can’t tell to much about it but i guess it’s the best way to make use of affiliate products and offers and highly recommand reading it. You can get it at from here for just $15 and i think it’s money well spend.

10k A Month Goal - Breaking the Numbers Down

When you have read some of my posts here you will know that besides my internet marketing business I own a business in creating personlised mugs. But , and i do want to be unthankfull, we (my wife and me) want to replace the income we make from it with income solely out of internet marketing.

The problem is only that in times it gets bussy with the mugs I have hardly any time on working the internet side and when i do I sometimes seem to lack focus. I am sure that if you done anything in IM you understand what i mean. Checking stsats, reading forum posts, reading ebooks, answering emails ..things that produce noting.

So to overcome this I will create some focus points. First is the numbers…what do i need per day in cold hard numbers. writing this down will make it more concrete

First target : 10k a month.

I have 700 domainnames for which i had great plans but most of them are collecting digital dust. I ran thru the list and picked 200 of which i think real have a great potential. Those 200 will be the onces that i will be working with.

10,000 / 200 = 50

So I will need to make 50 a month per domain. Of course not all things are equal but on everage it will have to be 50. That converts into 1.67 per day per domain.

Per month

  • 10,000 total income
  • 50 per domain

per day

  • 333.33 total
  • 1.67 per domain

How am i planning to do this?

I will need to plan the ways to monitize it and the ways to get traffic to the sites.

I will take a combination of 3 monitazation ways. Adsense, affiliate income and private ad sales. Each will have the potential to earn the 50 a month on it’s own but using it all 3 it will have a higher change in making it.

Making 50 a month with Adsense: My experiece has learned me that i earn about 15 per 1000 imperssions with adsense. So to make 50 I will need about 3500 impressions in a month which comes down to a lil over 100 a day.

Affiliateincome. Selling products that give a commsion of 25 it takes 2 sales. My conversion rate in average is around 0,5% so i need 200 visitors for 1 sale. Making 2 sales will make me need 400 visitors (targeted vistors that is)

Selling private ads. When you create a site that looks good and gets visitors and prevably has a pagerank of 3 and up selling ads on them is relative easy. If you sell 10 ad spots for 5 a month you are there and when the site has authority it’s no secret that even 1 ad will bring more then 50 a month. Just take a look at some income reports of top dog bloggers…most of the income comes from selling links and adspace. Using forums like digitalpoint is easy to find your first advertisers. Networks like tnx.net and text-link-ads can help also

Each of these 3 monitaztion ways will have the capability to make 50 on it’s own. But as I intent to make 200 sites it will be difficult to have each website reach it’s full potential. But breaking the numbers down like these is a hugh insight in what it takes to make 10,000 a month.

Next thing will be making a task list to make things easier.

One thing i didn’t address here is the costs involved. hosting and registering the domains are besides off course the only real costs. These account for such a low number per day that it’s almost not worth mentioning them.

Registering a domain: 8 per year = 0.02
Hosting 8 per month for unlimited domains. I mostly keep 50-100 domains on 1 account altho much more is allowed. (8/50 )/30 = 0.005
So in total per day the costs are 0.03

Selling Links - The difference between $5 and $200

I am still retrieving old posts from my blog here and this week I will restore all wordpress themes that you could download. Tasks for the to-do list

BUt I just wanted to share something else. This blog was a personal journal about me and what i do. Affiliatemarketing, business, wordpress and other ramblings that I thought would be fine to share.

I never optimized this blog to earn money. There was a time I had Google adsense on it and maybe I will do that again when I have a new layout for this blog but when I had the Adsense on it it was earning me something like $5 a month.

In january I stumbled at something called TNX I installed that code on this blog but after that never gone back to that site. I totally forgot about it. 2 weeks ago I saw the name again and I remembered that I had signed up for it. I went to the site and logged in. Big was my surprise to find that I had earned $80 with them in the last month . I upped the number of links and the income from them is now above the $200.

If you look at the income of most bloggers a lot of it is private ads and link sales and now I understand why. If you haven’t signed up for TNX I can highly recommand it
