Affiliate Marketing Income-June Earnings
Before I reveal my earning for the month of June, I have to be honest and tell you guys that I was a little nervous
about what to expect due to the change in the Google policy in May and with the addition of Google caffeine. I was unsure about how it would affect my adsense earnings.
So lets get to it!
Working Your Goals Backwards
Last night I attended an online Mastermind group sponsored by a member of the niche blogger, the goal of the mastermind group is to keep like minded people focused on our goals in a positive environment.
One of the questions that was posed to me was ” What was my biggest struggle working online”? and my reply was “staying on track”. With out a doubt this has always been a struggle. It turned out that I am not alone in this struggle. Many Online Marketers struggle with this problem. I shared with the group what I was doing to help over come this problem and today I wanted to share this with you.
How Am I Overcoming the “Online Distraction Factor“?
I discovered a fantastic website called Productive Flourishing, by Charlie Gilkey. Mr. Gilkey created these Premium Planners help systems for you to get your stuff done in the time that you have. Love that! You can buy them each individually or you can buy the set, they are very inexpensive and run $12 each or $22. for the entire set.
I purchased the yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily Premium Planners. Here is how I work these planners.
Yearly Planner:
Here I wrote my ultimate goals for the entire year.
Monthly Planner:
Here I wrote all my goals for the current month.
Weekly Planner:
I wrote my goals for the current week.
Daily Planner:
It appears that I may be slipping! Not Quite…..
So I have not been posting here for about a week now but this time its for good reason. I have been working on a tight schedule. So let me give you the run down on all that I have done.
1- Created 8 Squidoo lenses
2-Built 1 New Niche Blog (including header creation, optimize word press and wrote about 5 articles)
3- Revamping an older blog (more on this later)
Finding Web Affiliate Programs-(I refused to work for a Jerk!)
So today I was brainstorming doing keyword research and I came across a fantastic niche. When I say fantastic niche I am referring to a niche with high search volume with low competition. So, I began searching my web affiliate programs (clickbank, cj, share a sale linkshare, etc) to find a product to promote. Well, low and behold I could not find any ( I have never had this dilema) so I decided to do a search in the Google search box. I clicked on the first website that came up in the results and a site with products for my targeted keyword came up. I was excited!
What Is Google Caffeine?
So, these past couple of days have been really hectic for Online Marketers as everyone tries to understand the new Google Caffeine Indexing System.

Article Marketing Backlink Project
I wanted to update you on my article marketing back link project. Let me do this in list format.
1) Joined Hub Pages and wrote and uploaded 1 article
2) Wrote and uploaded an article to Xomba and was denied (No way! Yes way, I will get into this a bit later)
3) Created a new Niche Blog. Created the header, configured word press and wrote my first blog post for that blog.
4) Outsourced 4 articles for the Squidoo lenses that I had reserved yesterday.
Note To Self: Still need to join Infobarel
So lets get into my trouble with Xomba. Well, I joined and wrote and uploaded my first article all in the same day. Then I received an email from them. Here is a copy of that email:
I wrote the article on a parenting tool and it was all original content, I am not sure why they denied it and as you can see from their email to me there was no specific explanation as to why. I then emailed them asking for an explanation and this was what I got:
So now I am stumped. My article was unique content. I personally wrote it while sitting on my Balcony. I did not have my laptop with me at the time, so plagiarism is out of the question. Anyway, that was my experience with Xomba. Tomorrow I plan on writing another article and submitting it to them. I will let you know the outcome.
Build backlinks and Income through Article Marketing
Based on the last six month review of my Income I made a decision to work on article marketing for the rest of this month. I plan to build links to my current websites to move up in the search engine results page (SERP) and increase my current income.
I have already signed up and reserved 10 lens at Squidoo.com. Today I will be signing up at Infobarrel, Hubpages and Xomba. I plan on adding content to each of these sites. I will go into detail about each site in a later post.
Word On The Web Is-Google Is At It Again!
Well, as you all know I belong to a number of Affiliate Marketing membership sites. I consider them to be training tools for the trade I am in. I am a member of The Niche Blogger, The Keyword Academy and of course most recently Wealthy Affiliate.
One of the advantages of belonging to a reputable membership site is the fact that you can sometimes get privy to information before S**t hits the fan. This brings me to today’s topic, word on the web is that Google will soon change the way sites are indexed. You can no longer put up these 5 page quickie web-sites to make a quick buck.
I Started Internet Marketing With Wealthy Affiliate!
Well, yes this is true, in the beginning of my Internet Marketing Journey I was a member of Wealthy Affiliate. At the time I was so new to Internet Marketing that the information was overwhelming. I found myself often distracted by the bells and whistles and shiny things on the internet. I am sure if you are new to Internet Marketing you can relate to this, but of course this was no fault of Wealthy Affiliate. This lead me to cancel my membership at that time.
I rejoined again a couple of years ago to learn Bum Marketing, made my first click-bank sale, then got side tracked again and canceled again. So why have I decided to rejoin Wealthy Affiliate ? Well, believe it or not due to my membership there I was able to get a clear understanding of Internet Marketing. This helped to grow my self confidence as an Internet Marketer and ultimately it greatly improved my Internet Marketing skills.
