So basically, I have NOT started a PPC to CPA campaign yet. I got distracted by some Australian bodyboarder friends coming into town, one of who just finished making my new video. (teaser here) I also been working on bodyboard distribution deals and potential rider contracts for one of my brands as well as 80 other boogie board stuff.  But, I read A LOT of tutorial and advice blogs and have posted affiliate banners on a few of my sites but zero conversions so far. One being bodyboarder.com. I don’t really expect too much from these sites compared to PPC to CPA but it does get pretty descent traffic and ranks # 1 for keyword Bodyboarding on all search engines.

Anyhow so I have been reading sites linked from Uber Affliates Marketing Guide which has been great

I have been super excited about the potential to make some serious cash. By serious I mean 15K minimum plus PROFIT per month (I don’t expect to make this right away at all) but then I got to Zac Johnsons blog where he does teach some good stuff about how to set up campaigns and everything we need to know as affiliate marketers. But then I saw a link to his post “$50,000 in NeverBLueAds Earnings” I was not impressed at all by this, well I was but it was not motivating because the time period was over 6+ months. I already do 50K in sales a month appx with my retail store and its various online stores. I was thinking “f&8k” this guy is tech as “f*%k” and he is only making 50K over 6 months plus he had to have some solid costs in there so maybe 30K profit at very best. I may as well just concentrate on growing my real business. Then I noticed his post on the very top “How I Made $860k PROFIT in 4 Months!” I went there. Now that is what I am talking about, this guy is a genius, but most of this was not really made with CPA. It was mostly with Yahoo Publisher network and the guy capitalized on a very good myspace resource site. I can’t make that, and it is too late anyhow to go there. Zac has done an amazing job on the net and I love the knowledge his blog has. I just started reading Zacs blog, so I will now go read his whole blog need to find out how much he is making now (I am sure it is a hell of a lot more than $50,000 in 6 months) and other successful blogs to get motivated again about PPC to CPA to learn some more. A LOT MORE

I have been able to join 3 great affiliate networks. I have seen some campaigns that interest me.  But I don’t want to spend money when I do not fully understand everything yet.

The main things I need to do before starting my campaigns are

• - Learn more about A/B split testing (don’t know how yet)
• - Learn how to build sweet Landing Pages
• - Learn a lot more about tracking

After that I think I am ready to start my first campaign and learn a hell of a lot more.

I think I will have my first campaign up by Monday morning which I feel is good search time judging from order activity at my online stores.

OK I will update soon, thanks for reading if anyone has. And if I saw anything stupid it is because I am a total rookie.

Cheers

Hi My name is Eddie Solomon.  I just turned 30 years old and have never had a real job in my life.  I travelled as a pro bodyboarder since high school and in the past couple years I have transitioned into some other income starting companies such as an online retail bodyboard shop, a wholesale distribution company, a magazine that appears on national and international newsstands, a brick and mortar retail storefront, and as a search engine internet marketer who has also made some money with adsense. I also recently appeared on CNN Money here about my small retail business.

I have been a member on the Digital Point forum since 2004, but I have never done any PPC to CPA. The time has come now! I am not very tech with code, programming etc.. Tonight 3:08 A.M. on October 2nd is the first time I have taught myself how to install wordpress! I am very proud of myself.  I think I am descent at SEO and plan to start posting CPA ads on some of my 100+ sites and we will see how it goes from there. But again, the main focus of this blog is to see how fast (or slow) I can succeed in PPC to CPA.  I have the money to invest and I am ready to commit. I just need to LEARN MORE!

So I will consistently update this site to show my progress and hopefully within time I will be sucessful from what I am currently  learning from the likes of Shoemoney, Urberaffiliate and aojon.com

I make descent money now working from home or on bodyboard trips, but it is time to take it to the next level.

I am not a slacker. I hustle and work hard 18++ hours a day, 7 days a week.  

Time is money. I don’t like to waste it!

I think I can make this shit happen!

DOOO THIS! It’s Focus time!

p.s. I know how to spell, but I am a pretty gimp typer so don’t get cranky with me if you see spelling errors.
