Affiliate Summit West 2008 ‘Las Vegas’
I will be attending the Affiliate Summit West 2008 in Las Vegas.
This is the first Affiliate Marketing Convention I am attending. I don’t know, what I should expect. I am going to see how things are and will plan better for the next trip. Which I believe is, Affiliate Summit East in Boston. I will purchase the full exhibit pass for next summit, if this convention proves to be helpful in the industry.

Re-Doing Campaign
February 21, 2008
I have been running a campaign on google adwords called ‘test1′. For those who don’t know, their are certain tasks that need to be done before you can actually make some money with Affiliate Marketing.
The campaign I am working on I have spent about $7,000 and made $8,000 Profit from it, meaning $15,000 Gross. I have collected a lot of data now for about two weeks. I use the program T202 (Tracking202.com) to track my keywords.
This is very important as you want to know what keywords are making you money so you can focus on those keywords.
So, I will be re-doing my campaign. I will first put it on Google, MSN & Yahoo. Test it for about a week and Check what I would have to do next.
A list below are the things that I need to do to create this campaign.
(Note2Self: Update CPC in T202 so it matches your actual CPC in PPC Networks)
- Focus on all Profiting Keywords from the past month.

The following are different tools that can be used for Keyword Research.
‘Making Money Online’ My Journey
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.
