I have been learning from this forum for a long time but have never posted.
I'm changing that now as I am going to try and make my first real income online with solo ads. (I have made money but nothing consistent)
I will be documenting the journey on my
blog for all to see. I will also post updates in this thread.
Feel free to go and check it out and hopefully it will provide you with a bit of motivation if you are just starting out or at least make me commit 110% to making this work.
Worst case scenario is you will all be able to watch me crash and burn
p.s. I didnt know where to post this so let me know if it needs moving. Also any advice you are willing to give as always is encouraged.
What a week...
A few things went wrong last week, but luckily having a coach at the end of the phone made me sale past them.
I made my first solo ad sale this week as well
Go check it out on my blog
here.
If anyone wants any more information feel free to ask here
Congratulations to your 1st sale!
Kudos to your Persistence and Determination!
Keep us posted on your journey as it helps to inspire others and keep you motivated to do well in IM!
All the best! :)
Well done on a sale.
But I don't personally believe you're going to make much with solo ads.
After all most solo ad lists are made up of freebie hunters. You want to offer to a list of buyers. not downloaders.
Thanks for the feedback :)
daziam - I believe I will be able to make a consistent income from solo ads not saying it will be a massive amount but Its a good place to start.
Yeah the quality of the list is important I will start testing other forms off traffic to my SP page at some point to vary it up, once i start making some consistent money.
Sorry it's been so long since I last updated
I'm happy to say that it looks like momentum is building in terms of subscribers, considering I'm not buying solo ads that is.
I have actually turned down a few sales so i can focus on building my list size.
I didn't mention it on the blog but did make another sale today just cause I could

As always feedback and questions are welcomed
good job bro.. it's a good start. keep exploring and keep adjusting your tactics and keep us updated of your IM journey. For click tracking.. i'm just wondering why didn't you use google analytics?
for 3 weeks you made more than 6,100 subs?
I was using google analytics to track my conversions but there is a delay with the feedback which is annoying. Also didn't know that you could creat tracking links in GA?
No my mentor provided me with a list to start with so haven't added all 6,100 started at 5,800 so 300 in 3 weeks, this is without buying any solos which is why it's not going as fast as some peoples, but hopefully momentum will start building now
Sorry its been so long since my last update...
However I had my first $100+ day online last week
This is very encouraging for me so I will keep at it.
The biggest thing I've noticed is it would be a hell of a lot faster if I bought solo ads but I am trying to do this on a shoestring budget and want to increase my conversions before I buy traffic.
