How I Got Into Internet Marketing (Part 4)
This is the final chapter of my internet marketing story. Use these links to read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the story.
Although I was happy that I finally started making some online revenue, I certainly wasn’t content. Now that I knew that it could be done once, I wanted to build on my success by launching several more sites. I joined a couple of other affiliate programs and began researching more products to promote. Over time I experimented with many different products, promotion strategies, and website formats.
While I found some limited success in my other attempts, my first website is still my number one earner. But now I have entered a new period in my internet adventure. After trying so many different tactics, I believe I have created a solid model for reproducing the success of my first website. This is where Megadomainia.com, my old domain blog, has been reborn into a journal of my internet marketing goals.
Over the coming months I will be launching five or six websites. Each will likely be in a different genre, but each will be built and promoted under a similar template. The success I found in my first venture, coupled with the failures of subsequent attempts have taught me quite a bit. I no longer have to waste time on things I know won’t work and I also have a small income stream to allow for more experimentation. I have a basic model in mind for how I will attack my future sites. It has not proven itself successful yet, but the first wave of testing just began this month. I expect to see some positive results by the end of the year.
This is my story. Now you know how I got here, and if you continue to read this blog then you will know where I end up. The goal is to earn $200 a day after expenses. The target date is June 2008. Time to get to work!

That sounded like my story with only a few variations!
I’m a couple of months behind you, in getting focused, but how about this? Instead of getting sidetracked by “gurus”, I’m going to motivate myself by trying to beat your figures!!!!
A genuine Newbie Master Mind Group and Challenge would be interesting but I guess it would just deteriorate into people trying to promote the latest scam.
Anyway you and I need to stay focussed and hit that $200!!!!
I’ll be watching with interest. When I’m catching you up I’ll post again to give you a kick!! LOL
Thanks for your inspiration!!!

Sounds good Paul – keep me updated. Maybe we should get a gentlemen’s bet together to keep things interesting?
