I've been perusing your site, nice effort! Your success is encouraging ... I've been at affiliate marketing now for about 6months surviving. I realize I have all my eggs in one or two baskets and need to diversify. You mentioned your Nutrisystem failure, do you ever share landing pages that you've made or have stopped using?? Direct linking seems to be working less and less, and I need to start developing my own sites/landing pages, but just dont know how to begin. Much appreciated! Jonathan …

We have to put ourselves in the customer's place. What do we do, if we see an advert that promises the solution to your problem, with a "free trial", with only the shipping expenses? You look for the name of the company, an adress, a phone number... If there's nothing like that in the ad, what will you think? "Yeah, right. You're going to get my bucks and not send me anything. A phisical presence is very important, besides the internet presence. We all know why. @Ruck: Yes, that is most crucial. We have to put ourselves in the customer’s place.

If NASA stopped its space program decades of years ago which suffered considerable failures and unimaginable amount of money - the U.S. would not have been the world leader in the race to space at present.

I developed some really kickass methods, one of which I will throw your way right now. I was advertising a certain diet product from a squeeze page and putting insertion orders in for offline classifieds, diet clubs and gyms. I also had a 1-800 number on these ads (This is crucial). That 1-800 number was basically my presell on how there was a free bottle of such and such to try out for only the cost of shipping. This is a limited offer so if your the least bit interested in getting the free bottle just fill out the short form and we will reply to you right away. This is one of the easiest ways to make some big dollars in the diet and weight loss industry. After opting in they were redirected to the offer page and paid just a few dollars for shipping. Front end profits and my own list. To advertise in 1 million newspapers costs me about $600 a pop. This is nothing considering the amount you can burn in PPC in that industry. But if you insist on PPC you got to have that 1-800 man. It will increase those conversions like you wouldn't believe. If anything bro, your getting a semi targeted optin that at least wants to know where to go and read about the free bottle. Diet products on PPC was never really good for me.

If I enjoy writing about that niche, I will take it on. You must be genuine with the content you create for your niche. You know, I never look at a niche as too big or too small.

Once again, you are right. :) But in the begining, getting in those competitive niches can be a bit like entering the lion's cage. Some are not scared (or just crazy), and others rather wait and get used to the kitties first. :) Yes.

You are right. There would be no success without failing. The most successful people are those who have tried and failed tried and failed tried and failed tried an succeed! Everything is all about that. Hi jonathan. You are right. There would be no success without failing.
