Hey Everyone
Exciting times for me!
Ok so you remember how I wrote this post a month ago (Feels strange reading it now, because I had not made ANY MONEY BACK THEN!)
Read that post here:
====> Monetize Your Blog And Get Free Targeted Traffic
Well I want to update you and let you know that my free traffic driving methods are finally paying off, I am averaging around 50-60 visitors a day, which I expect to increase daily, I have a target of 100 visitors per day now.
Traffic is flying to my site from:
- Google (Thanks To My Facebook Fanpage Post Here)
- Facebook (Thanks To My NSA Fanpage And Blog Rss Feed)
- Twitter (Again, RSS is the Key Here)
- YouTube (Simple 3 minute videos sharing tips I learned so far)
- Article Directories (most traffic coming from Ezine Articles and Go Articles)
- Press Release Sites (here is a list of the Free Press Release Sites I submitted my press release to)
Social Bookmarking Sites, Blog Carnivals, Forums (mainly the Warrior Forum), StumbleUpon, I could go on and on and on!
Want to know the best part…
EVERY SINGLE METHOD I HAVE USED TO GENERATE MY TRAFFIC HAS BEEN FREE!
I started with absolutely NOTHING and now it’s all coming together.
IF I CAN ACHIEVE THIS – YOU CAN TOO.
Now, like I said, the methods I have used to drive the free traffic to my blog and squeeze page are free, and most of them I implemented after purchasing Traffic Ultimatum, which has some very solid traffic strategies and I am proof they work.
Now not only did Traffic Ultimatum help me drive a ton of free traffic to my site, it also gave me the opportunity to write my very first product review.
You can read it here:
====> Traffic Ultimatum Review
I have tried to be as honest as possible with my review so hopefully I can help you make the right decision on whether to buy the product or not.
The methods George teaches, using both video and pdf tutorials worked for me, and as we know without traffic our sites would be useless, if no one sees our great products we will certainly not make any sales.
More Traffic should equal More Sales!
I have been working behind the scenes of my business, working with the stats, working with the conversions and being a newbie this was quite difficult for me to get my head around.
But you know what, statistics are so VERY IMPORTANT.
I took my plain squeeze page from a 6% opt in rate, to a 25% optin rate with one simple change.
Had I not been monitoring my statistics, I could never have improved those numbers.
And I won’t be stopping there, I now know where my FOCUS should be, on traffic and conversions so I will IMPROVE THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
By doing this I know my affiliate sales will also increase, so long as I continue to provide true value.
Now speaking of sales, you may remember when I first started affiliate marketing, my goal was to make a $1, yep just $1.
I was in a bad place to be honest, I had tried and failed to make money online and I had very little motivation.
But on the 31st of December, I made my very first sale!!!
Again, if you did not read my post, you can read it here:
====> Big BIG BIG News – I Got My First Sale Yeehaa!
I feel the past few months have flown past like a whirlwind, but my results have been so positive that I am pumped up and full of enthusiasm.
There is no doubt in my mind that this Super Affiliate is going places, FAST!
The last few months have been a steep learning curve for me, it was sink or swim, but man am I swimming LIKE A MERMAN HA!
What I have learned is invaluable and I am learning more everyday, only yesterday I stumbled upon a sweet traffic source that, although is a little time consuming, has sent a ton of free traffic to my site from day one of using it.
I have literally gained so much knowledge that I am finding it hard to share it all with you.
SO, update over, here is what I have for YOU…
I want to pass on all the tips and tricks I have learned so far, so I have decided to start a newsletter.
This means I can update you faster on the techniques that are helping me move my affiliate business forward so quickly.
I really am pumped you guys!
I want to share everything I can to help you!
The dark clouds are lifting and happy days are ahead!
My business is GROWING, GROWING, GROWING and I want YOUR business to grow too.
So here is how you can join my mailing list, get a free bonus and start to GROW with me:
Before you go, can I just say thank you for visiting my blog and supporting me throughout my journey.
The comments you leave me are really important, I love getting your feedback, so please leave a comment again and let me know how your own online business is coming along.
Alex, The New Super Affiliate.
ps. Don’t forget, grow, grow, GROW!

Hey Anne,
Yes I can hardly believe it myself, I never thought it would be possible to make money online, but now I know 100% for sure that you can, and it can be done in only a few hours per night, if you really apply yourself and ditch all the wasteless distractions!
Having a timer beeping beside me has helped greatly, now I work to little deadlines I certainly get more productive tasks done in the same amount of time.
I have so much to share with everyone, that I just know will make a massive difference to those who apply themselves.

Hi Mandy,
I just feel like I have finally been rewarding for those nites I spent sitting in front of the pc, never really quite believing that it would work, but doing it anyway.
I have a ton of notes, everything that has worked so far, and everything that HAS not and I really do want to help others online find success.
So many people have helped me freely and it’s time I paid back some of that kindness in the only way I know how.
Thank you for your comment, it just shows that so many people online care about others success as much, if not more, than their own.
Alex.

Your enthusiasm is contagious.
I find working online is an ongoing journey. Things are going well, but I continue to tweak and improve and incorporate new ideas and methods. That’s what makes it fun/challenging.
Good luck to you!

Hi Peggy ha ha ha ha!
Yes I am brimming with confidence and postively buzzing can you tell
Have you ever tried to figure out a puzzle and so many times you wanted to give up, but stubborness wouldnt let you, well thats how I felt, I was determined this would not beat me!
The turning point was conversions and metrics, once I got them mastered it just all started to click into place.
I no longer have to go out there and hustle for more traffic, I simply need to work with what I have already got,
Thanks for your well wishes, and best wishes to you and your online business too,

Great going Alex… Woohoo!!! Sounds like you are doing fabulous and I always look forward to hearing how things have been progressing with you. How in the world do you find the time to get everything done? That’s the problem I seem to be running into. Too much to do and not enough hours in the day!
But, thanks for your tips and what’s working for you. Always so cool to hear how others are doing and how their business is progressing. I’m so excited for you!
I plan to be right behind you one way or the other!
Look out, here I come…

Hey Adrienne,
Catch me if you can
Time has been an issue for me at the beginning too, but it was because my focus was ALL WRONG!
Now my focus has shifted it has all come together, at first I was like a headless chicken, doing a bit of this and a bit of that but never quite mastering anything at all.
Now after ditching all those time sucking tasks and only focusing on the important tasks I am getting a whole lot more done in the same amount of time.
If you can, buy a timer, it will help you to work much quicker, and focus on the stats you have, you will begin to see exactly what is going on behind the scenes and once you fix that, the rest just flows.
I am going to be sharing an absolute ton of tips with my online friends, so we can all find success online.
Be speaking to you real soon, Alex

Hi Alex,
It sounds like you have been a man on a mission!
Congratulations of your traffic strategies! So many people think they can just get online and things will start to happen. They don’t realise there is actual work involved.
It looks like you are on the up and up. It will be interesting to see what your results are like in another month!
Hope everything is going well.
See you back here soon!
Cheers
Jacinta

Hi Jacinta,
Yeah I have been a man on a mission with blinkers on!
Completely focused on the right tasks and not the wrong ones, I ditched all distractions that were sucking my time and energy and giving me very little return.
Now I am a lean mean money making machine!
Traffic was so hard at first, but now I know I have the capability to drive traffic at the push of a button and I no that sounds like BS but its not.
I am really excited to share all of my results and in one month I am postive my results will be EVEN better than my current ones, watch this space.

Hey Kerry,
Yeah i am buzzing buzzing buzzing because I am seeing some fantasic results now.
It’s funny but marketers seem to think they have to do all these complicated strategies etc, but really if you take a simple model, like I have done and merely used a squeeze page and a blog, then you can really focus more on what you need to do.
Why do so many people seem to over complicate everything online and end up suffocated under information overload????
I almost fell in that trap myself but luckily I managed to get out.
I finally understand the need for KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).
Good luck with your own online ventures, and I am happy to help you anyway I can,

Way to go Alex. Good to see that you’re heading in the right direction.
The only real method I use for traffic is blog commenting. Just the other day I did write another article for ezines and I will probably add more as I get time With a bit of luck that will drive some traffic my way.
Probably the best traffic to get though is search engine traffic and as long as they’re targeted they’re the most likely to convert.

Hey Sire, I have been using article marketing for a few weeks now, I tested lots of different article directories and by far Ezine Articles sent the most traffic and second was GoArticles, but if you post on Articlesbase, you content gets scraped and posted on lots of other sites too, if you dont mind that.
I will focus on SEO a little later on, just trying to get a steady flow of free traffic right now.
Thanks for your comment, nice to see you back here again, Alex

Hey Alex,
You so on the nail here, your blog is your business hub website, so its the most important one to monitise for affiliate income!
Your blog is more successful if it covers a supply and demand niche and all the offers are targeted!
Great post, great blog, cheers Alex….Ed.

Hey Ed, thanks for the tips, I have put some affiliate banners down my sidebar and I have been tracking them with CrazyEgg software, which shows which are the most popular and gets the most clicks, it also tracks the mouse pointer of visitors on my blog so I can see the hot areas, really cool software and only around $10.
Early days yet, but with careful placement of the best converting profits I am sure it will be a great monetization strategy.

Hey Alex,
You know I recently had one affiliate commission, and I’m damned if I know where it came from, its a Clickbank product, sos it possible it’s from my blog?
Might just get that there software, sounds like you can really optimise the offers too on your blog!
Thanks for the Eds

Hi Fran thank you, that means a lot to me, I really took a lot of time to format my post in the way I wanted.
Recap blog posts can be so helpful when people are visiting your blog for the first time and want a quick recap of everything you have done so far.
I think it’s important to recycle your blog posts rather than simply let themn disappear into the abyss!
So many people write killer blog posts, so I hope more people recycle their content so we dont miss out.

Alex,
You’re doing great!
Keep up the good work. Free traffic is awesome. And with a popup like the one you have…surely your list is steadily growing.
Keep taking it up notches at a time…and offer something that you get paid from as well.
perhaps a service reviewing people’s affiliate landing pages, or something like that. charge $50 each. You will be surprised.

Hey Brandon,
Yes my list is growing at a very steady pace now, I set my target at 10 per day for now, and I hit that my second day! So now my target is 11 then 12 etc etc.
I rececently started joining joint venture giveaways, so I hope this will inject a nice steady flow of optins too.
I think so far the best free method of traffic was article marketing and suprisingly the free press release method was a really great too, I will certainly be using this at regular intervals throughout my online business progress and development.
Thanks for the tips, I have certainly got a very good knowledge of squeeze pages now, and my own now has excellent conversion rates, ugly or plain pages convert very very well.

I only have a few months of blogging under my belt too, so not that far ahead of you, you can see I only have a few posts on my blog.
I think I have learned a lot from visiting other blogs and reading some great posts that in turn give me ideas for my own posts.
There are so many great blogs out there, so really you can learn lots for free.
I do hope to share all the best tips I find on my blog, as I have been doing so already, so I hope you visit again,

Thanks my friend!
I got my second sale the other day so it is all ticking along nicely, best thing is that I know both my free and paid product will help people online.
Yeah you can get so much valuable information for free online, it’s great!
That’s what I am trying to do on my blog, share all the best nuggets of information that I find online, or that I find work for myself.
Hope your online business is “motoring” on at a fast pace too, if I can help you with improving your conversions or anything like that I would be happy to do so, just give me a shout.

Hardly, but I feel I can shake off my newbie skin now, I have learned so much in these past few months and I am confident I could help others get started online much faster than I did.
After all I know what not to do and what you should place your focus on.

Yes, your goal is to help people lose (weight) and my goal is to help people gain (financial freedom) lol.
I have been working hard on networking and I think my next traffic method test will be guest posting on blogs as I have been doing a little research and have heard great things about guest posting.
Free traffic is always the best traffic, good luck with your blog, I cannot help with the physical side of it, but if you ever need any advice regarding marketing I am sure I could help with that,

So happy for you. I wrote a post on my blog about free traffic, one of the things I mention, there is work to do if you want to generate free traffic. It just doesn’t come as some may think.
As Jacinta says, some people think they can put something out on the web and bingo people will come. It just isn’t like that.
As I explain in my blog post, there is no magic bullet or get rich quick. Keep up the great work you are doing Alex, catch you later,
