Hi! my name is Pedro and I am from Portugal. :)
I came into the WA Community to learn how to do IM and all the techniques to become a Wealthy Affiliate! :D
I´ve been trying Bum Marketing for some time and I already made my FIRST SALE with the help of WA on February 2010!!! I already made a few more sales and I received my first 4 Clickbank Checks in the year 2010.
I've been away for some time because I work in Angola since June 2010, where the Internet connection is pretty lame... Despite my dayjob pays a very good wage and things in Portugal are an economic wreck, I soon got to realize (again) the enourmous advantage there is in a passive income. So, once again, I decided to come to WA to make my online income go up, since it already made me a few bucks absolutely on autopilot for a year or so cause I didn't have much time or disposition to keep working online... The internet in here definitely doesn't help!!
Since August 2012 I decided to put some more effort on article marketing and I managed to make a bit more money, and I already passed the 500$ per month milestone (on autopilot)!!! Of course my goal is to make enough money to get the hell outta here and fire my bosshole!
So, if I could do it when I wasn't almost working at all in my campaigns, I wonder how much will I be able to do it with WA help?? There's no limit, not even the sky!!
I am always ready to help anyone, however I can, so don't hesitate to drop me a PM.
Thanks for visiting! ;)

Hey! So if you are following the "Getting Started Course" they explain step by step how to do it. If you need to know anything additional, just lay your question down with detail so I can help you out. You should follow their course by now and later try other stuff, this is an excellent introduction to the IM world ;)

Hey! As a matter of fact it's true, people just say they make money online but you never know how much or if they are really making it. Of course a lot of people in here earn 4 and 5 figures per month, or even more! but it depends on each individual if they want to share that, after all, it's still a personal matter. Wish you the best and a lot of success!! ;)
Boas Pedro!
I will be following your progress and who knows sometime we could exchange thoughts. I'm a newbie, still learning the basics, and trying to figure out what my angle of approach will be in the business. Keep up the good work, and for sure you'll be landing in Europe with style!

Hey! This was made by promoting Clickbank products and earning commissions for each sale. When you start building up traffic, you are scaling your income, and the more you raise your traffic, the more sales you are going to make, and more money you are going to see! I have never started promoting WA, but soon it will be one of my niches. For now I just want to focus on raising the traffic for the website that I already have working for me, and then I will be promoting WA too! ;) It's true that people don't talk about their earnings, and it leaves you a bit doubtful, if people are really making it, or if they are, which amount... Well, at least I don't have any problem with that, I am pround to say that I earn money form the Internet, even if it's as little as 400-600$... there bad months, and better months :) but is around the 500$ mark for now... ;) I am dying to raise it up to 1000$ per month and so on!!

Michael I suggest you follow the "getting started course" because that will show you step by step how to start an online business. Although it only shows the basics, later you will start creating content daily, for your website, and for article directories. When you have finished the 4 lessons of the course, you can make trainings available at WA, like SEO, internal linking, backlinking, etc. It will take some time, but once you make your first sale you will be hooked! Don't try to sell Making Money Online products, try any other niche, search on Clickbank or other affiliate website, Amazon, etc. Find what you like to promote and go for it!

Hi Joanna!! Welcome to WA! Well, when I made my FIRST SALE :D I was promoting a Farmville guide. It was when the game went viral and everyone was playing it and I found the guide and decided to promote it. You can see the blogspot site I created to sell the guide on the right of this screen. Now it doesn't sell anymore because there are better apps for the game (bots, etc) and there's already a Farmville 2 out, but it still gets clicked on the hoplinks! Anything can be sold online, just pick your niche! ;)

Hello! Thank you for your support! It's part of the path! First you just have to make it through the inertia to make your first sale! Then you will make 2, 3, and so on! As you scale up your traffic, more and more sales you will be making and more money you will receive in commissions! Then, you will never want to stop!! Tell me how your progress is going and maybe I can help you out! Wich you the best at WA! oh, and let me know when you make your first sale so we can celebrate!! ;)

Hola Pedro. Thanks for the follow.
What an awesome adventure you have had. You are an inspiration for those of us wanting to earn an online living.
Congratulations on your success. If you don't mind, when you first started to see success from WA tips, what were your takeaways? What specific action do you recommend as a good first step to success?
I also see you use Squidoo a lot. Why did you choose that platform?
I know I am asking a lot of questions, but perhaps others can learn from your answers.
I appreciate your time and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi! Thank you very much for your support! I started to see some success when I made my first sale in February 2010, and I have joined WA on January of that same year, as you can see by my profile. So WA helped me a lot because I was doing everything on my own and I was not seeing any results... I definitely recommend the Getting Started Course because you will learn step by step the basics of Internet Marketing. Squidoo is good to use if you don't have your own website you can use it to place you affiliate links to get your commissions. I have learned Squidoo from Potpiegirl and been using it so far, and I must say that is very good indeed. Now that I have my own website I though that conversions would increase when compared to Squidoo, but to my surprise, I must say that Squidoo performs really well! You can ask whatever you want to, I will always be glad to answer! ;)

@PedroSousa Thanks for sharing your insight. Yes. I heard Potpiegirl is excellent. I am excited to check out Squidoo. I'll have to see if it will be a good platform for some of my writings. How did you choose your affiliate products? What was your criteria?
Ultimately, I want to write and promote my own products. I have a few in the works, and have published dozens of articles as a ghost writer and under another name. Do you think I should create an affiliate site in the interim? I'm concerned that if I associate myself with a product that fails, it can ruin my brand as a writer. I appreciate your valued opinion.

Hey Joe! Well, that is really awesome! I am looking to keep it simple and practical, and now I am focusing more on traffic. Because I already make a small amount of money, but I really want to scale it up... I have some articles on 1st page of Google, some of them are even in the 1st place for that keyword, but now that I have done that (even if I don't know how i really did it!) I want to follow that process and have more articles on 1st page for more exposure, more traffic, and consequently, more commissions. If there's anything that you could share to help me on my quest, I would be really glad to listen to it! Well, I guess life in Portugal is the same, I don't know very well because I am living in Angola and I don't watch the news... But hey, it's the same old stuff! :D

Pedro...ranking well on search engines is what everyone shoots for. It is not easy but everyone can do it. I have done it so you can too. Here is how.
What are your targeted keywords incl. long tail keywords?
Make a list of them. Then use them in sentences throughout your website or blog. The search engine will allow use up to five times each keyword. Sometimes it's hard to use that many keywords in sentences so you have to be creative. Look at my web site www.gettingrichwithbill.com and you will see what I did with too many keywords but got top Google rankings.
But the real key is, what is the competition for your keywords? If your competition is high you picked the wrong keywords. Don't pick keywords that have high competition.
There are too many GREAT keywords to select from than wasting your valuable time on
high competing keywords.
I hope that helps. Bill

I saw how you use keywords on your site and you really have a lot of them throughout the whole text! I also believe that competition is a true success factor. It pointless to aim to excessively competitive keywords that won't allow me to rank decently... Thank you very much for enlightening me and I will follow your tips. I also agree with you. From now on I only will use low competition keywords. Do you think that below 300 QSR is a nice number or should I aim below that? Thank you very much Bill, you really know your way around here!! ;)

Hi! I am fine, thanks for asking! I am not yet living off my monthly income, but it's a nice thing to have. I just need to make it grow and grow so I can become financially independent and quit my day job. So far the money I earned from the Internet is all in a savings account so it can be re-invested. When I earn enough to quit my job, I will balance the money I invest and the money spent so I can make it grow!! If you want to know anything just send me a PM and I will be glad to answer!!

Hola Pedro, como vai
You talk a lot about Article Marketing and while I can understand the passion of WA'ers (a lot in here come from Travis Bum Marketing Method) I highly recommend to you to RE-PURPOSE your articles into video tutorials and get them on to the internet for max exposure.
Your traffic potential with videos is about x10 against article marketing.
Good luck and welcome back again.

Videos are far more effective traffic generators today in time then articles. I don't say that articles aren't valuable, because if they are very well written, valuable and about 1000 words in length then you can get ranked very well with articles (still). Or you do it for syndication and backlinks.
But if you take that very same article, get it into a Powerpoint presentation and then record with your voice a video, then publish that to the mayor video sites using Tubemogul or similar, you will get way more exposure, I bet with you that x10 is a fair figure.
Youtube is the #2 search engine in the world, and not only kids use it. Videos are overtaking traditional content delivery.
Try it, you will definitely like the results.

Hi! Thank very much for your kind words! I can help you when you want, just send me a message. I don't know that much, but I'll be glad to help in whatever I can. You see, I've been doing IM for 4 years and althought I was able to make 500$ per month lately, I still see myself as a failure... Because I wasn't working at it all the time, there were months that I woldn't do anything... By now, I could be earning a LOT more... :( But the magic of IM is the autopilot feature; once you set up a campaign with traffic, it works naturally and you earn comissions everytime someone buys the product you are promoting, even if you don't do anything at all... ;) That surey pays off!! ;)
