a year ago, I wouldn’t of even of thought of getting into the world of internet marketing. I had a real estate license and was doing web design for side projects. Little did I know the impact of a failing real estate market, let alone the lack of positive morale in the industry was enough to make look into other options.

Later in 2007, I decided to write up an LLC and go at my own. I was still doing website development at the time, but wanted to challenge myself to a new adventure: Internet Marketing.

Unfortunately, nothing really took off in internet marketing until May of this year. Before that, I would just aimlessly put affiliate links and think nothing of it. Wow was I dissapointed with the results! I felt like I was up the river without a paddle.  

Then a fellow Internet Marketer turned me on to a couple of marketing vehicles. For one, squidoo.com, which is a one page style get your message out style site, seemed very intriguing to me. I decided to attack internet marketing with a dozen squidoo lenses, and believe it or not, I had made only a few sales. Only a few.

The next vehicle, was to build a directory style review site called www.thisawesomething.com. This website would serve as a “village” of landing pages, showcasing different products. If you have visited iliveinsuccess.com well before this, it was a copy design of thisawesomething, but never really made any sales at all. I made a few sales too! But still didn’t get me to where I wanted to be. 

Then, I decided to push for another vehicle, which was probably the best at the time. I had created the newer wordpress version of GoForexTrade.com. I decided to make it newsworthy and put a couple articles a day on the goings of the Forex Market, and once in a while, sneak a couple product reviews and a few forex specific goodies in as well. I had made a flurry of sales, and Then came the next level, creating landing pages…

Norb Czufis, from NCMedia, who happens to be a publisher of several successful products sold on the internet, noticed that I have pushed a ton of traffic to his product, but wasn’t converting a single hop (hops are clicks to the product sales page.) Norb had asked me, since I was proficient with the web and had a strong determination to succeed, to direct leads to a landing page, then over to the sales page.

Since Norb has been very successful, I have decided to strongly take his advice, and build a couple of landing pages and wrote specific reviews from my experience with said products. And what do you know, I hit the freaking lottery. I had a sale almost every other day, and sometimes twice a day a sale too! 

Since then, I created a challenge with a few other like minded affiliates in marketing products in the Forex Niche. The first one to $10,000, doesn’t carry a prize, but a new sense of confidence in marketing, and the skills to be a total success.

The new challenges to come… I am looking to start a challenge, within the next 30 days, to have 30 landing pages, with engaging marketing material, and backlinks, articles, and whitepapers to engage everyone to buy such products. And if not in 30 days, I will keep on doing this until either I pass out dead or get $500 a day in clickbank sales!!!
