Busy, busy, busy
Man, is my head spinning. I’ve got a lot going on these days! Not only do I have my work to deal with, but now I’m working full-time on affiliate marketing, as well as trying to manage all of my other crazy ideas. It’s hard work, but someone’s got to do it.
For instance, I was reading this post in John Chow’s blog and got inspired to post my not-amazing-but-not-shabby-either Agloco Referral status (left image, click to enlarge). Using the Referral Earnings calculator, I determined that if each of the 41 referrals browses at least an hour using the Agloco toolbar when it comes out, I should receive a nice $7,000 check each month. I’m betting it will be more like $7, if anything but only because I don’t trust marketing gimmicks.
By the way, if you want to jump on the Agloco boat before it sets sail, click here! 
Aside from that, I’ve been spending a lot of my free time building my ClickBank stats. This doesn’t qualify as a post for the ClickBank experiment, but I would like to give a nice little update on my stats thus far in order to catalog my journey.
So here is a screen shot of my earnings over the last 15 days. As you can see, it’s starting to become much more consistent. And the best part is that as I’ve started to increase spending, I’m getting better returns on the average.
This whole thing is a learning experience, because as I see more and more success with online marketing, the more I want to do it. I mean, I’m 18 days into this thing and I’m already doing reasonably well. When I say “learning experience” I’m referring to the education that I am paying for in advertising dollars.
Unfortunately, all of the ClickBank money I’m accruing on a daily basis isn’t 100% profit. To be honest, it’s around 40% profit on the average.
That’s not horrible though. In fact, I’ve learned it’s an excellent average! So excellent, in fact, that it has no where to go but down. I’ve accounted for this though, because I am starting new advertising campaigns every day and chances are, most of them will only eat up my profits and send me into the red for a while. I have my reasons for allowing this. 
Oh, and I just took advantage of a nice $95 in free advertising money from Microsoft adCenter by using this ad (valid until 2/15/2007). Now I can get a few free purchases to increase my profit margin.
In other news, I spent all last night redesigning my file sharing website to have a fresh, clean look. If you want to take a look at it, just click the image (left) and it should take you there.
Not to mention, if you want fantastic free file hosting, you should definitely check it out.
The coolest part about the newest design is that I’ve incorporated a random ad display. Ads randomly switch between Azoogle ads and AdSense ads of the 300×250 flavor. This helps to eliminate the effect that static content seems to have on the eye, as my Azoogle Affiliate Manager was telling me earlier today.
As soon as I have another breakthrough in ClickBank earnings, I will write another ClickBank Experiment post. Until then, I am going to work my ass off to increase sales!
Here’s to not being bored!
