Slowly, but Surely. It is Possible!
I just started hardcore trying to make some money online by promoting a popular product about a month or so ago (maybe a dumb move picking a popular product, but we'll see.) I've been doing free SEO techniques (pretty much backlinking, backlinking, backlinking) by either article submissions or social bookmark sites. Anyway, my website is finally on the 1st page of google about number 6 or 7 I think for my main keyword phrase and thats a huge accomplishment for me in itself. No sales yet and still not many visitors yet, but I'm still hammering/working on it and hope to see some sales soon. I chose a pretty popular competitive product which was probably a mistake to start out with, but they way I look at it is, if I can get a website promoting a popular/competitive product on the 1st page of google, then the micro niches are going to be a breeze!
The main accomplishment for me in all this is just to see that it is POSSIBLE to get on that 1st page and so it has to be possible to make some sales so this really boosted my confidence. That's been my whole problem from the beginning.........just believing. I'm starting to believe. Big shout out to magistudios webinars for helping me believe and take action. I'm a firm believer you can read and study too much if it is preventing you from taking action. I read about internet marketing for over a year before I finally took the plunge. Don't do THAT!!! Pick a route and go with it! If it don't work..pick another and go with that! I read about so much.......CRAP!!! It basically held me back and had me confused and I didn't know which way to turn or where to start because my brain was suffering from information overload.
Feel free to leave comments about my site good or bad. I'm open to learn and fix things along the way. Site below

Yes, WP Express that is offered here at WA. I pretty much followed Jay's Webinar and I think it was easy. It's just like riding a bike I guess. Once you do it a couple times it becomes second nature. I know the first time I opened the WP dashboard it was fairly daunting to just LOOK at, but once you play with it and see how it is all laid out, it's not bad at all.
Good job taking action. I like simple sites with clean graphics too. I'm going to be trying WordPress for the first time. I've used other software, but people seem to favor like WordPress. Did you use WP Express? Was it easy? I'm doing lots of things at once. Too much I think.
Sorry to hear the bad and glad to hear the good bro. That's sorta why it took me so long to finally take action (the bad)....had a close family member pass away back last Summer right when I joined. Up and downs man....part of it I guess.
Yep, I am having a successful 1st Quarter 2011 so far. Dealing with some health issues in my family at the same time. Life is a bit crazy right now with both good stuff and not so good stuff happening all at once.
Yeah, I built the site pretty much based on Jay's way, just added more. Heck, that's the only way I know how to build one at this point. I like simple, easy, and clean looking interface. You guys having success?
Hi,
I think your site looks great! Jay builds sites just like this one and seems to do well with them. I bet if you improve your ranking a bit more you will start making sales there. Either way, congrats on taking serious action!

Yeah thats the spirit!! you have to take action: Ready, Fire! and them Aim! ;) your choice of a popularproduct is the best in my opinion, I promoted weak products before and it was very very hard to make a sale. Now I am promoting one of the top affiliate products and it converts really well! Keep going, your on the right track!
