Ask Teh Uber – Round 1

Made a post saying to ask me questions, so if you have one get to it and I’ll answer it here.

Ahmed Kassem asks…

Are you having an up trend or a down trend with your revenue over the last 3 months?

It’s definitely been dipping around here and there. Niches do great, then they die and force me to work on something new that will replace the revenue I just lost. Overall though, everything has remained fairly constant. Revenue is down overall just because of the season though, so I’m not too worried and it should be getting very good soon.

Eric asks…

Do you like chocolate?

Yea dood chocolate is pretty good, although if I had to pick between that and vanilla, I’d pick vanilla.

Verb asks…

Can you talk a bit about PartnerWithPaul.com? What kind of affiliate training is it and how much involvement do you have in the program?

Haha everybody thinks that site is me because it has my name in it and has an Azoogle screenshot. If you notice, the guy “hides his identity”, and I’m pretty sure if I went to that length to keep my identity hidden, I wouldn’t call it Partner with PAUL. His house also looks nothing like mine.

I have heard of that guy though and he used to do some pretty big numbers I guess with Azoogle. Funny part? He just incentivizes an Azoogle work at home offer and says to start making money, sign up for this program or something. So the revenue screenshot from Azoogle in the video is most likely from the scammy bizopp stuff he’s selling. Haha pretty funny but hey he’s bankin.

Keith asks…

Do you try and tailor your landing pages to resemble the merchants landing page?

If I had to give a general trend with my landing page style, yeah it would be blending with the offer page. Simply increases conversions and you can modify it to get a really good CTR too.

Dood asks…

Did CX Digital create your landing pages and KW lists for you?

No, I wouldn’t trust anybody to do that but myself.

Think Like An SOB asks…

1. what niche are you targetting?
2. what is your landing page url?
3. what are you keywords?

1. Fat ones.
2. Yourmom.com.

IamJustinM asks…

Has anybody told you you look like Michael Phelps?

Yeah, I can’t swim to safe my life though. I try and lose energy after about 20 seconds then just start to sink.

Justin Dupre asks…

Does CX Digital really make your landing pages and keyword lists so you don’t have to?

Where are people getting this from? lol

Maurizio asks…

Hi there, and thanks 4 the opportunity.

I’ve been long time lurking, first time posting (Congrats 4 blog QUALITY anyway!)

I’m good in SEO, and I”m already doing well with Adsense & my own seo consulting biz.
Should I invest time in learning the Affiliate Marketing basics? And Why?
P.s. English is not my motherlanguage, my online assets and experience are targeted mainly to italian people.

I’d like very much to hear your take.

It’s up to you man. You know there’s money in affiliate marketing, and if you’re already doing well in SEO then you can either just expand what you’ve got going and make more money, or just start something new for the fun of it. Affiliate marketing definitely isn’t easy though, so I’d wait until you have realllly good cash flow and can set aside $5k or so to give affiliate marketing a whirl.

Dallin Harris asks…

What blogs, newspapers and magazines do you read regularly? Would you recommend them to someone just getting started in affiliate marketing?

Haha going to sound stupid but none really. I’m so out of the loop when it comes to news and new stuff, I kind of got immersed in my own world and have just been expanding that and networking with other people. As far as blogs for educational value, I don’t read any really…I find just working is a better use of my time. Newspapers and magazines, none of that really either besides Golf Digest when I’m on the pooper.

    Useless responses as usual…

    When I was at ASE, CX Digital did mention that they’d do landing page design, graphics, copy writing etc for their affiliates. I’d have to see and test a small offer before going balls out and handing them that part of my marketing. But if it’ll save time and still make me money, then why not?

    That’s common in this industry, I was in the same situation but I saved a bit of money up and threw myself in the deep end finally with a attempt at a campaign. So far I’ve made a profit every day bar 2, so overall I’m in the green still :)

    All question nicely answered. Don’t you just get angry when you get those questions like what offers you running and stuff? I don’t understand what people expecting to hear?
