Lets see too bad I didn’t have this blog up since I was too busy getting up my campaign and niches. Lets just say I started on the first week of MAY. I was told by a friend to start it on ASAP so I had some sparetime and why the hell not right? So I done it. First of all, I got some accounts from affiliate programs. I got approved in a few days. I already had a web site up and I had a host. I had money to burn on this campaign. Now I needed a domain for my niche. I got everything all set up. First I created a landing page. I will NOT lie. It took me about 5-6 hours to make one. I did not have sufficient knowledge to make a landing page. I researched how to do it and by the end of the day I had made my first landing page. Now I linked everything with my affiliate links and i did NOT use tracking. But wait.. shouldn’t I use tracking first?

The answer is YES and NO. The reason why I didn’t get tracking was 1) I did not know how to get tracking and 2) That was not my goal. I had a goal of “making my first few sales”. So it doesn’t matter and I just threw my eggs in the basket with no names or color. So if the eggs fell I made some $ but I didn’t know which fell. I was being skeptic and didn’t think you were able to make money in this certain amount of time. For me the goal was 1 week = 1-3 Leads. It was a small goal / step but my return would be huge. The return was not the money but the inspiration. My first Night this is what happened.

Went to sleep at 3am (5/6/2008). Landing page was up, Traffic was high bid, I added about 100-120keywords. The keywords were just random but I handpicked it and made sure I was on top of everyone. My alarm goes off around 9am. Well there goes about 5 hours of sleep. I was going to go back to sleep but instead I checked my earnings. DING DING DING. One lead. I broke even though but no profit. WHO CARES! CONGRATZ Entrips you proved to yourself you are able to make money by sleeping. I was wide awake and I was about to jump around like a maniac. The logic behind this was, if you are able to make a lead you can multiply it after and tweak things to make even more money. 1*1 = 1 , 1*2 = 2. Multiplication does not LIE. So fast forward to the next few days. This was an actual blog post I posted on my other blog

May 8, 2008 - Thursday

“Last Night I was up until 230am again. I was workin on my business. I decided to attack it late night so I get a chance to wake up with $$ in my pocket. I woke up at 10am and im like I just dreamed about my web site. (No Joke) I guess it was because I think about it too much. So 30mins I laid in my bed. I was worried that if I didn’t profit today I would not get as motivated.

I opened up my laptop looked at my ppc program. Looks like I lost a few bucks. Thats fine. I looked at my affiliate program…holy shit PROFIT!! DING DING DING!!!. Basically I got a 1:3 ratio. Which isn’t bad.

So how much did I make? I made a little more then how much the average person who works in retail makes in a day

So…who wants to jump on the bandwagon with me? Once I start earning more I probably won’t teach u guys anymore. I won’t teach nonbelievers so you guys are on your own.

Amazing isn’t it ? Basically I was broke on May 5th, 2008. Then I made profit on MAY 08th, 2008. WOW thats really fast. If you guys only knew how i felt it was crazy. So now I am busy tweaking all my campaigns and getting better landing pages and CTRs. I have a small amount of profit but when I know how to do it, it should not stop me from becoming my dreams. I have been so into my little online business that I added a goal, calendar, quotes, timesheet on my wall. Whatever it takes to focus just do it. In order to succeed you need to have short / long term goals. Some can be nearly impossible to reach but make sure you attempt to reach it.

Well I have not come across any books or classrooms that talks about PPC or anything internet related because this is still in the process of hitting the books IMO (there has to be books but i havn’t found it). By definition by our friend wikipedia it states.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click:

Pay per click (PPC) is an advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites/blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser’s website. Advertisers bid on keywords they predict their target market will use as search terms when they are looking for a product or service. When a user types a keyword query matching the advertiser’s keyword list, or views a page with relevant content, the advertiser’s ad may be shown. These ads are called a “Sponsored link” or “sponsored ads” and appear next to or above the “natural” or organic results on search engine results pages, or anywhere a webmaster/blogger chooses on a content page.

Pay per click ads may also appear on content network websites. In this case, ad networks such as Google AdSense and Yahoo! Publisher Network attempt to provide ads that are relevant to the content of the page where they appear, and no search function is involved.

While many companies exist in this space, Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and Microsoft adCenter are the largest network operators as of 2007. Minimum prices per click, often referred to as Costs Per Click (CPC), vary depending on the search engine, with some as low at $0.01. Very popular search terms can cost much more on popular engines. Arguably this advertising model may be open to abuse through click fraud, although Google and other search engines have implemented automated systems to guard against this.[1]“

Ok you can read the definition or scroll down and read my post LOL. I think a picture is better

Basically this is how it works. I mean there is no other way i can simply state it. With each step there are so much stuff to learn. But with every day research from blogs and articles I’m sure you can learn the details. Keep in mind that when I set foot in PPC I had no knowledge of this. I was as new as anyone else reading PPC. Once you get the hang of things most of it turns to self-explanation. I believe everyone is capable of learning how all this marketing works. If you know how to order something online, cook dinner (ok that I do not know!) , etc. then I’m pretty sure you can learn how to it. It only has one factor and that factor is YOU

Well now that I got your attention how do I get started? First thing is first

Do you have a business mind frame?

I have to ask this because a lot of people get the impression that it is in a virtual world and its not the same as a physical business. In order to succeed one has to have the mind and motivation to do well.

Do you have the dedication?

First few days you are pumped. After a few weeks you start to get lazy if you are not dedicated. Ask yourself, can i say no to Friday nights and stay in front of a computer for at least 5+ hours. Can I stay up until 2am just working on it and waking up at 7am to check on it?

Do I have high hopes and dreams?

Everyone has high hopes and dreams but who acts on it? What do you want to accomplish next month and the next 5 years? Honestly my birthday is in October. My goal is to buy a 2004 BMW Z4. That is around 20-25,000. That gives me about 4 months to save that amount. Do you think my goal is too high for the time? As days go buy I think it is but if I have a high goal can I miss, I still have a good amount of success. For example, save $20,000 for the month of October. If I miss, I might have the potential of having $10,000. If I aimed for $10,000 instead i might just have $5,000. So the higher you aim the higher rate of success.

Ok so you made it this far without clicking the “X” on your browser, so I assume that you are ready. I’m not going to explain in detail what has to be done but I will explain how to prepare. Here is a list of things you should be prepared for:

1) A computer capable of doing some web design

2) Basic web design knowledge. (html, css, adobe photohop)

3) Capacity of having enough time each day

I call that Entrips “Guide to ABCs”

HISTORICAL POST

Well this is where the borderline where people decide if everyone’s PPC Marketing is True or Fact. Let me explain. First of all I’m 20 Years old, I go to college, I WORKED parttime at a retail store and fulltime when school was not in session. I know a lot of people who are older then me, WAAYYY older than me. Ages range from 21-50s. I use the internet for everything in my life. The keyboard, the mouse, the computer that I’m using are all bought online. I have a myspace, facebook, etc. So I’m your typical young Entrepreneur. When it comes to talking to people on what I do online everything calls me a bluff, calls BS, says you can NOT make money online. And if you do make money online, its not going to pay for a car payment, house payment etc. Most people who doesn’t know anything about the internet and its market are clueless about earning money in a virtual world

No matter how much you explain things, no one believes me because I’m young and can be fooled with scams. Not trying to be cocky or MR. Right, but chances are, the non-believers are most likely to get scammed with other things. I have to admit that I was one of them at one point in my life but I reached the point where I’m not much of a skeptic with online money making. Everyone thinks that your name has to be Bill Gates (microsoft) Larry Page and Sergey Brin (google) to make money online. If you read a brief history of these strong Entrepreneurs, they were not born SUCCESSFUL. They knew something was up with the market and took risks to become where they are now.

So it was more than a RANT then the topic itself. Back around in the Late 1990s I was already on the internet. Not until when I was in High School around 2004 I was attempting to earn some fast cash on the internet. I had a few friends who tried to make money but failed. My first pay check was at $30. It was one of thoughs filling out survey for $1. That was it for that year because $30 was literally nothing. I was then introduced to making money off Screensavers. You sign up and you are suppose to put it in your web site and each download was $1. My friend found a way to bypass this and earn income using a hack. So how did we do it? I can explain it but it is no use nowadays because it WILL NOT WORK and you and get in DEEP trouble.

Entrips @ $1 a Minute

Sign up for the Screen Saver Affiliate Program.

Download Firefox (back then no one had it )

Use firefox auto fill.

Use a Free Proxy Program ( I used a firefox plugin that changes IP every xx-seconds)

So now we are all set. Get your affiliate link on the screen saver program and click on it using the proxy. It will ask to fill out information so use your firefox autofill. Now download the screen saver program and when it asks you to install simple click NO. Now go back to the affiliate web site and login with your name. BAM! $1!!. The only thing you have to change is the autofill the next time you do it.

Smart right? NOT bad for a couple 16 year olds trying to earn some bucks. Well in the end my friend got up to around $2,000+ and I got up to $700. By that time we all had emails saying we are being reviewed. Since I never got my check,I was just banned from the web site. My friend on the other hand had to pay the money back. In the end we all lost the money and luckly we had no fraud records on the criminal records.

Hey guys hows it going? Finally I am able to get this blog up. I have had experience with blogs and everyone knows that looking for blog themes and plugins is time consuming. But I found some things for my blog. All I wanted to do is get this blog up and running.
