Today I received my first check from Clickbank, a small piece of paper worth $350. The check was sent last wednesday and I’m amazed how fast it was delivered.

The money was made during my last months’ work on different niche sites that I own. I must admit, these sites are not the best money makers that I have, but they still generate some small bucks here and there, regardless if I promote them or not.

Now I only need to receive 2 extra checks before I’m eligible to receive funds via direct bank deposit, which is even faster and doesn’t involve taking the check to my local bank. Clickbank requires one to get at least 3 checks in any 90 days period for verifying measures. Once the third check finally arrives and the money is successfully banked to your local account, you can enter your bank details and Clickbank will pay you on a weekly(!) basis.

All in all, this Clickbank check was a nice christmas surprise and it’s definitely good for buying some gifts from it (my family demands this…). And yes, I could have posted a nice payment proof showing my huge CB check (e.g. like Jeremy Shoemaker did with his check from Google), but I think nowadays it’s way too easy to fake such stuff and it therefore doesn’t really make sense to show you at all. But you can trust me that Clickbank is a paying company!

Now I’m lucky. What else should I say?!

Long time ago since I’ve last written a post here on TMME. I must excuse for being late with my writings, but I’m still quite busy at the moment with my new projects. Anyway, let me give you a short update on my current progress.

You may now that I’m currently working on 3 new niche websites where I promote several products from the Clickbank affiliate network. Each product will bring me around $30 to $40 in commissions if someone is buying through one of my sites. I’ve personally proved that such websites are really working, my first niche site I created several months ago still brings me around $30 to $60 per months, without further working on it.

Right now I’m done with creating the niche sites and I’m in the progress of driving traffic to these sites. I’m using article marketing for the main portion of traffic. I’ve already written several articles and submitted them to Ezinearticles. I must say, it really works! Although I haven’t made any sales with these sites right now, I’m already receiving traffic, around 30 to 40 unique visitors per day for all 3 of my sites (yes I know, it isn’t really that much…). The best thing is, that I already got some clicks on my Clickbank affiliate links too!

I must definitely write many more articles in order to create sales from my sites. The more traffic I can drive to my niche sites via my articles, the more possible sales I’ll hopefully have! Maybe I will also hire a copywriter who will write those articles for me. I’ve seen people on the Warriorforum who are writing quality articles for $5 per 300 words. And since I’m making quite good money from NeoBux, I’m sure I can afford some bucks to help me getting my job done.

Ok, enough for now. I’ll keep you updated!

I just want to give you some short updates on what’s going on in the money making world and with my current progress.

First, NeoBux has introduced a slightly different referral renting system and has also increased prices. You can read about it in the News section of my NeoBux lens or here at the NeoBux forum. Think about what you want, I personally don’t see too much benefits of the new system right now. But let’s see how it will work out and if it really increases the overall referral click rate (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, have a look at the NeoBux forum please).

Second, I made just another Clickbank sale from my first niche site. Another $30 in my account that slowly fills up, but could be filled more faster if you ask me

Third, my 3 new niche sites are finally ready and I’m currently about writing several articles to publish on Ezinearticles. Those articles should (and already do) bring me some traffic to these sites and hopefully some sales. Right now I’m already receiving some search engine traffic too and my Clickbank links got clicked too. But no sales so far… I’ll keep you updated!

Ok, back to some more work…!

Right after I arrived from my two week vacations I checked all my different money makers. And hey, I noticed that my simple niche site that I created several months ago had made me just another two sales. In just 14 days I earned $53.90, the first time that I made two sales in a single month!

Ok, but why am I telling you that? Well it’s because I finally made a descision on a new project that I’ll start soon. Since I’ve seen that niche marketing really works (even without having much worked for it), I’ll start some new niche sites over the course of the next weeks. Basically I will create 3 niche sites where I promote different Clickbank products, fill them with some content to pre-sell potential buyers and insert my CB affiliate links. So to say a landing page if you will.

Ok, but the hardest part will be to drive traffic to those sites. I will therefore use article marketing (also known as bum marketing, see my post about it), in other words writing and publishing articles on popular article directories that contain a backlink to my landing pages/niche sites. The hard part is to write articles on a daily basis for at least a month’s time. I’ve set me the goal to write 2 articles per niche site and day, so I’ll end up with 180 articles after one month. Those articles will hopefully bring in some nice traffic and sales, I only have to make sure to target the right  (long tail) keywords with enough search volume and less competition on the search engines.

The method I’ll use to make money is proven in the affiliate business, many people are making some nice cash with it. Two days ago I read an ebook from a guy that made $3000 from only 5 niche sites! He has only worked a single month to achieve these results and he’s still making cash from his sites (without writing any new articles).

Now you know what I’m about to achieve within the next weeks. I will therefore don’t have that much time to keep my blog updated as usual since I have to write 6 articles (250 to 500 words) per day. But I’ll do my best to keep you updated on what’s going on and if my new project is making me any money!

See you,

It seems all the efforts in building my first affiliate niche site have really paid off so far. Today I made my third affiliate sale and another $37 arrived in my Clickbank account.

Although this may sound a bit like bigheadedness, I won’t boast about how a good affiliate marketer I am. On the contrary, I’m such a noob in the affiliate business and it’s maybe only luck that I make my first money from this site. I only want to show you that it IS possible to make money from it!

Now I’m at a point where I seriously think about starting some other niche sites in order to make some good money. Sure, not enough for quitting my dayjob right now, but enough to have some extra cash in the pocket. Well, I’ll work on it.

See you later,

PS: I’ll soon write the next update about my progress with “My Homepages Friends”, the site where you get paid to search the internet!

Around 2 week ago I wrote about how I made my first sale from affiliate marketing. I told you that there’s some good work involved in setting up an affiliate site, e.g. filling it with content or promoting it in order to get more traffic. I also told you, that such sites most times pay off for themselves in the end. Well…my little niche site has brought me yet another $30 in my Clickbank account!

As I first started to explore the world of affiliate marketing, especially niche marketing, I thought it would be way too difficult to actually make money from it. Now I see that it IS possible to make money from it, which doesn’t mean it isn’t difficult at all. All you need is passion about your “job”, work toward your own goals and you’ll reach them! Mhmm, I already sound like a super affiliate…

Should be all for now,

Cheers,
