    testing a niche

    Also, search traffic isn't the only way to can drive users to your site. In a case where search volume is so low, you could try leveraging social media traffic (Facebook ads) and display ads. Just to give you an idea, the site Blogg.se has about 500k daily web impressions in Sweden. And that's...

    testing a niche

    Launch the site and learn as you go along. Best way to learn, IMO. And seeing how low the volume is there, don't limit yourself by only going for exact matches. Open your targeting up to broad, phrase, exact and modified broad matches. Here's more info on modified broad matches in case you...

    New, sorta, from South FL

    Hey Chris, welcome. Getting free traffic is not an easy task, especially if you rely solely on SEO. $20 from the Amazon affiliate program on SEO is not too bad if you've started out recently, as their commissions are pretty low. It also means you're doing something right because people are...

    testing a niche

    Are you only looking to sell your product in your country for a specific reason? With such low search volumes for your product there, there's almost no opportunity to scale. Realistically, 3k clicks a month will get you a handful of sales. I'd be aiming to get 3k+ clicks every few minutes.

    My Own Automotive YouTube Channel!

    EXECUTION 
    This resource has been a big help for me in regards to video/graphics editing. Hopefully it can be for you as well. Check out VideoHive.net. I know nothing about editing videos, but with some of these templates I can put together something that looks pretty nice. Here's an example of an intro...

    My Own Automotive YouTube Channel!

    EXECUTION 
    Subbed. Your teaser has me interested. In addition to Youtube advertising I think you'd also do great running some ads directly on mobile car-related apps like CSR Racing. Should get you lots of targeted eyeballs. Looking forward to your progress man.

    testing a niche

    I'd at least pop an email optin box saying you'll notify them as soon as the product is back in stock. (And deliver) Also, are there any affiliate programs by a competitor you can test? This is a big red flag. That is very little volume.. Can this product have mass appeal so that you can run...

    Hey @Hope I'm probably not the best person to answer that question, as I'm not particularly experienced in the "niche site" scene, where I'm assuming you're building a site targeting specific long-tail keywords. About search volume and competition, it certainly makes it easier to start out and...

    I don't have any experience advertising on Pinterest. Not even sure if they have a paid advertising platform. Honestly though, unless you're specifically looking for unorthodox ad units like PPV and popups, you can do really, really well on the 3 sources everyone knows, Google, Facebook and...

    Okay, so here are a few tips that really helped me in my transition from struggling affiliate, to making it. Choosing and Testing an Offer The offer(s) you decide to test should depend on your available testing budget. When starting out on a limited budget, you should pick low-payout offers in...

    The first sale is always feels so good -- regardless of the amount. I remember my first $1.75 commission from an email zip submit the first time I tried PPC. Sounds like you're doing SEO, which does take a bit longer to get any traction. I'd recommend leveraging social media as much as you can...

    Thank you, @Hope. Attaining those goals are certainly possible. It's not an easy space and failure is something that will happen often, but successes more than make up for it. In the beginning, I went with the niche site approach with SEO as my main traffic source. Took me like 3 months to...

    Thanks man -- best of luck to you as well. Honestly, transitioning from affiliate to offer/product owner was ever really on my radar. In the beginning all I really wanted to do was sit at the computer, pick an offer, run some traffic and make money. I thought that's where it was at. No stress...

    I actually did some of my first campaigns on POF. Honestly, I never got very far there. I had some luck with a niche dating offer, but couldn't maintain a good CTR on my images for more than a few days. Had I gotten a consistently good CTR with low CPMs and good volume, and it would have...

    The most recent one I was on (which unfortunately doesn't exist anymore) was IMGrind. Before that I was on STM. I haven't been on there since almost a year ago, so I don't know if their most current information relates to what I was doing. Nonetheless, it's a great wealth of information. Since...

    Thanks @jon.a, means a lot. And all of it has been saved, aside from my business expenses and what I take out to pay our monthly expenses. Oh, and taxes. Can't forget about taxes. No Ferrari yet.. Hopefully that will be in Part 2.

    For a long time I've envisioned being able to make a post like this one somewhere. I was however a little hesitant to make this thread at first once things did start picking up, as I'm a pretty reserved guy, but I figured if I've already shared my hardships and tough times (in my intro thread...
