So much accomplished this week!

This was a MONSTER week for me as far as getting stuff done. I spent most of my week advertising the new Income Accelerator program. I got started with Yahoo UK and set some ads up. I have to still wait and see if my PPC ads will be approved because it is technically an affiliate site. I hope it does get approved so I can start getting some targeted visitors. It seems like an awesome program to me and it pays $100 per referral. But you have to start with a little money and sign up for the hosting. Fact is everyone on traffic exchanges want to make all kinds of money and pay nothing. It doesn't work that way from what I have found. So I will keep looking for new advertising and hopefully start to generate quality traffic. I signed up for a trial run at BuyCheapHits.com - 10,000 hits for $12.50 - Pretty good deal and most of my new site traffic is from that. I also signed up with I-web-marketing.com for a traffic package. $99 was the minimum but that's for 50,000 visitors. So far they are sending about 120/day. What I'm GUESSING is that means they are real visitors (vs. the PopUnders). I also bought a starter pack at ViralAdwords - They promise targeted visitors and the NetSuccess owner said he gets VERY good results with them. I also bought 12 keywords at ExactSeek - $70 for 3 months running my ads. I have already had about 50 hits this week from those. I'd say that is "fairly" targeted traffic. Probably not quite PPC quality, but $12/keyword for 3 months advertising is a great deal.

Finally got some new programs up that I wanted to work on! I made my first official Squeeze Page! See it here - Now, don't laugh, because it is a bit rough - The fonts are not quite up to my high standards LOL - Actually, it's a great deal - I chose the Guide to Using & Understanding Traffic Exchanges ebook as my free giveaway. This seems like a perfect giveaway since 80% of my advertising is on exchange traffic right now. All you do is fill in your email & name and you get to download it instantly. I give it away free and what I get is an email address to start building my lists (Another thing I've been wanting to work on for awhile). Also, when they download it, there is a link offered to Instant Squeeze Pages where at least a few might join - So I get emails to build my list and at least a possibility of getting a referral to Instant Squeeze Pages. There is a LOT more to work on here. They have a lot of ebooks that come with "backend" advertising - So anyone who signs up through my pages and buys other products later, all count towards my affiliate revenue. I think this program is awesome.

I also got my other new site up this week - MakinEZMoney.com - Basically it was a cut & paste site for Get Google Ads Free - I think this is a cool program and the commission structure is very nice - 75% of the $67/sale. Plus the product is awesome. Anyone who has searched PPC prices obviously knows how expensive they are - If you can get them free, $67 is NOTHING in comparison. NOTE HERE: I have not bought the program yet - I am going to buy it this week so I can provide the best possible review. I try to keep it real and not just link a ton of my affiliate links. I actually know & use what I'm promoting (which is why I'm spending SOOO much money lately! :) You can see MakinEZMoney.com right here - easy for me to get excited about this -

My Purchase of Aweber -
The autoresponder is $20/month which seems high to me. But I found some of the "cheaper" ones and they are just too hard to figure out. I bought the Ultimate AutoResponder for $4.97 - 1 time fee - AWESOME I'm thinking. Of course it comes with a 16 page manual and 8 different download links. I tried to read through but man, that's too much work for me. I can write and I can copy & paste, but my Web Skills are limited at best. I looked into a couple others also and they were $12-$16/month anyway, so I decided to go with Aweber. It is really easy to use and I might become an affiliate there also. You get unlimited autoresponders which is crucial for me. I'm going to be using it in at least 3 places just to start. But I'm going to need it for each and every squeeze page that I generate also. When you start needing something THAT much, it's best to just pay the $20/month and get the best one - AWeber is the best one -

So as you can see, I got a whole lot done this week. Also joined TrafficDigger & a few other exchanges. Had to surf a lot of sites this week since I now have SO many programs up & running. But things are starting to go really well I think. I'm getting a steady 200-300 hits daily for Affiliate Curve. Starting to get signups for exchanges and find even more advertising sources. Overall I think I'm on the right path. I do wish the money would just roll in, but I know it's not that easy :)

I also submitted some more articles and joined another new program last night. Looks like a good one and as soon as I figure out what it is, I'll let you all know.

Have a great week - Let me know what you think of my Squeeze Page please. I'm still pretty new to all this! I'm trying hard though and I'm going to succeed!
