It’s the start of another month again, December 2008. Seems like this year 2008, went by really fast.

I will probably focus a lot more on all money making online activities, rather than just PPC alone.

I will still do my best to post a great deal about PPC Affiliate Marketing, because that is one of my main focuses.

The stats for my current system is:

Microsoft Windows XP
Intel(R) Core (TM)2 Quad CPU
Q6600 @ 2.40GHZ
2.40GHZ, 3.00 GB of Ram

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512 - Video Card

I want to upgrade it to Dual Boot,

Windows XP
Windows Vista

and from my 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM.

I also plan on getting a flexible keyboard. Need an Anti-Virus Program.

Hopefully, this will speed things up.

Blog Updates
I have been waiting for this blog to be finished, so I haven’t been posting.

I’m going to continue updating my blog, although my layout is still not finished. Links on menus are mainly placeholders for now, till I get the WordPress Plugins installed.

PPC Affiliate Marketing Updates
I have been running just 1 PPC campaign at the moment. It’s averaging about $100-$350 a day in profit.

Currently, my keywords are all just dumped in random ad groups so there are 30-100 keywords in some ad groups.

This is bad, because it affects my quality score on yahoo. You end paying more for clicks.

Ad Copy affects how many times your ad is clicked. Better ad copy the more clicks you receive, for the same amount of impressions.
So our goal is to maximize the most amount of traffic possible per keyword or ad groups, we create.

That means,
Great Quality Score for ad group
Ad Copy Testing to increase clicks with the same amount of impressions.

To track everything, you would need a Tracking Software.

The program I use is Tracking202.com they also just developed a self hosted version of the script that you can run, on your own dedicated server. It must be on a dedicated server.

In the meantime,

I will be working on Re-Creating my Campaign with most converting keywords in their own ad-groups.

They will have 2-4 targeted ads that I will be monitoring.

Keywords will be Exact Match if they are converting.

You must have be very organized since you will be dealing with a ton of different things.

I will break up my campaigns depending on how deep you can go in the niche.

I will have “niche1-test” or “niche1-converting” or “niche-goodkws”, my ad-groups will be titled. It doesn’t matter what it’s called its mainly How you will understand it. It’s your campaigns and your ad groups so you must organize it so YOU can remember it and its easily accessible.

I will also be expanding my current keywords list and searching for all Products, Versions, Misspellings, and any other variations of the niche I am in.

I’ll be working on gettign some tutorials or step-by-step instructions on some Affiliate Marketing stuff for new people getting started in the industry.

That’s about it today. Got to get working. Seems like most people in this industry are working long hours.

This blog is about my My Journey, into the world of ‘Making Money Online’. I have officially started Affiliate Marketing on January 31st, 2008.

Who? ME (Dexter) I am 21 yrs old and live in California.

When did I start? January 31st 2008

What do I do? Affiliate Marketing / Internet Marketing

What is my Previous History? I have started created websites since I was about 13 yrs old, which I stopped doing. I started playing video games ‘Diablo 2′. I ended up finding suppliers to supply me with items for the game. I started selling on eBay making $200/week w/ Low Profits and lots of work. I noticed, people making websites; I then decided to create my own Diablo 2 Store and sell my items at my own costs. The costs compared to eBay were about 300% more, so I would make a lot more money. I made about $8,000 the first month and it slowed down to about $1200 week profits for me (because I didn’t work as hard). This business lasted for about 2 1/2 years, and Diablo 2 became a fad. I then decided not to pursue any internet ventures.

I’m now a lot older (21 yrs old). I still keep an eye out on people who are making money and have noticed younger people are now making tons of money on the internet.

So, Now is the time for me to start actually pursuing my own internet ventures and make some money for myself.
What is my plan? I plan on making $50,000/month in Profits. I am positive I will surpass this goal before the end of this year 2008.

How? I plan on making money online by affiliate marketing and creating content based websites and e-commerce websites. Affiliate Marketing will be my main source of income from the start. I will use this money to start my other money making ventures.

What will you do with all the money, you make? The money made through the internet, I will use as capital to fund my Content & E-commerce websites on the internet. The money created, I will then use to purchase real estate and rent it out (make money on equity).

What are my spending habits? I like nice things. I am very extravagant when it comes to spending my money. I like expensive clothes, luxury cars (bmw/mercedes), electronics (phone, tv, monitors, etc), food and a lot more things.

Purpose of this blog/website? The purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts on anything related to: Affiliate Marketing, Internet Marketing, Internet Entrepreneurship, Building Websites, Maintaining Websites, and anything dealing w/ computers, money and the internet. I will be providing my own articles and tutorials to help new people interested in learning more about Affiliate Marketing. I will also, be linking to websites & tools that will be useful for an affiliate marketer.

What is your current daily profits? As of February 17th 2008, I am making about $150 profit a day. Which is $4,500/month. It is very possible, to make $1-3k daily with ease. I am still focusing on getting my Affiliate Marketing off the ground and then I will focus more on my Content/E-Commerce websites.
