How To Make $45,000 In Two Days

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The guys at Hexatrack show exactly how to make $45,000 in two days with their new free tool, Hexatrack. 

Here's a link to the video:

Here's the play-by-play breakdown of what they did: 

  1. They identified an interesting, timely offer on the CommissionJunction affiliate network with a payout of $15.00 per conversion.
  2. The offer was centered around a main keyword; let's say it was a 2-word keyphrase which we'll call the "seed keyword."
  3. They "dropped the seed" into the HexaTrack keyword spy tool, which yielded a few dozen "short tail" keywords used by our competitors at the time. If  competitors are using these keywords, they can't be all wrong!
  4. They prepared to spend some money in Google Adwords and uploaded these short tail keywords to a new Adwords campaign. ("Short-tail keywords" are named so because they contain the seed keyword plus one additional word, or two at the most.)
  5. Then they began running these "short tail" keywords as "broad matches"… i.e. if a user searches Google for a phrase that is identical with the short-tail phrase, it's a match… but more importantly, if the Google user's phrase contains the short tail phrase, it's a match as well!
     
    Are you following on why they were running their first list of spyed-out keywords in broad match mode?
     
    For example, if the keyword we were paying for was "life insurance", and a Google user searched for "capital life insurance," our ad would still successfully display on Google, because "capital life insurance" contains the phrase "life insurance". Thus, it's a broad match!

    Here's the kicker… (important!)

  6. Whenever a conversion happened (sale, lead) HexaTrack would detect the actual keyword that the user entered into Google at the time… which is not necessarily the keyword that we were bidding on originally!

    Let me repeat this, because it's so important: After every time you convert a click to a sale or lead (a money-making action), HexaTrack will report back to you the long-tail keyword that the user had actually searched for, which may be different from the short-tail keyword that you were bidding on in the first place.

    For example, if you ran the broad match on the short-tail keyword "life insurance" from the example above, you might find out from HexaTrack:

    a) that "life insurance" by itself is an overpriced keyword because it is so broad that "everyone and their brother" bids on it (remember, most bidders on Adwords don't know what they're doing, and thus drive up bid prices on "obvious", but badly-converting keywords); and
     
    b) that a handful of previously-unknown "long tail" keywords such as "California life insurance review" turn out to be hotly-converting keywords …and they aren't even keywords that you were explicitly bidding on!

    Without HexaTrack you would not have had that information at all!

    (Frankly, I don't even know how we made any money in PPC before we developed HexaTrack!?! Larry?)

  7. Here's what we did next: We simply removed the expensive broad-match/short-tail terms that didn't make any money… and replaced them with the lean, cheap, long-tail keywords that HexaTrack found out for us… i.e. we are now only buying those keywords from Adwords that users actually tend to enter before they buy!

    Put another way: We're replacing our ad spy keywords that may sell, with the actual keywords that are proven to convert Google users into conversions. We are taking OUT the guesswork.

    For example, if our initial test with "life insurance" was unprofitable, we would now replace it with a dozen or so exact-matches of various long-tails that HexaTrack found out for us. One of these long-tails could be, for example, "california life insurance review", which HexaTrack could have reported to us as one of the keywords that we know has actually converted real people to our $15 affiliate offer!

Do you get it?

  • First HexaTrack generated our initial "test balloon" short-tail keyword list right out of the box, by spying on our competitors (which is basically a VERY good estimate on what people will enter and what keywords are likely converting for our competiitors)…
  • Then, after just hours, it showed us the precise keywords that people actually entered before they clicked on our money-making affiliate offer, so we could eliminate some of the expensive short-tail duds from our keyword arsenal and enter the profit zone rapidly. (Within a day of testing to be exact.)

$45,000+ within 2 days after the initial experimental phase — how is one supposed to react to that?

Were we all cool and laid-back about this result? Did we chalk it up as just anoher night at the office… business as usual at Larry & Amish's? Of course not! This was a home-run in anyone's book, no matter what some Adwords gurus would want you to believe… :-D

The point here is not to make you think that you can make 45 grand out of the gate, every other day, from the first day you're using HexaTrack PRO. The point is that, with diligent research of the kind we'll be teaching our PRO members, you probably will stumble upon a gold mine market like this, a few times a year. Consider such spectacular opportunities as the gravy on top of your meat-and-potatoes markets… (the latter being the ones that bring you solid PPC income every single day).

We'll get more into your long-term strategy of balancing steady markets vs. outrageous home-run opportunities in one of the next blog entries. For now let it suffice that 45 grand in a couple of days is possible.

How Lead Generation Can Earn You Good Money, Free Bonus .pdf

  1. You do market research to
        a) find a niche and
        b) work out the metrics (and profits) of the deal

    1. You set up a special LeadGen Website, drive traffic to it, and capture your prospect’s details.

    2. Once you convert prospects, you contact carefully-chosen companies to sell your leads to. You then finalise your working arrangement with them

    3. When the company has paid you IN ADVANCE, you start sending them leads (try asking Google to pay you in advance!)

    4. You then think about other ways to monetize your back-end both Online AND Offline…

    5. Go back to Step 1 and repeat the process, either with the same niche or with another one (after all, there’s no limit on the number of niches you can do this
      for. You’re only limited by whether or not you can make a good profit from any particular niche…)

Fear Is Invisible



I wrote in a previous post: "don't panic", but I had a panic attack last fall… it came creeping up on me - I thought I was stung by a wasp… I felt a sting, and I saw a wasp and I connected the two in my mind later on. Anything but take responsibility for what was happening to me… what I let happen to me… the situation I created … I felt faint and had to sit down… and then lie down… and I felt strange sensations going up my right leg and into my right arm and then down my left leg… and I was so weak… and my tongue "grew" in my mouth and tingled and my lips were numb and my hands shook… I called a doctor and they wanted me to take an ambulance into the hospital because they thought I was having an allergic shock!  I was weak for hours after that, but I didn't want to take an ambulance.. so dramatic! I was in chock, but I must have known somewhere inside of my disenfranchised self that this was only the fear inside of me screaming to get out… to be taken care of and released. More

Have You Noticed the Google Change?

Google has unified search results with something called Universal Search.  They have unified all of the different searches from different departments into one category. So if you're searching for chocolate cookies, for example, you will receive everything from Google search, news and video in one search and will not have to change (toggle) between the categories.

This implies that there will be a greater number of clicks per keyword, but not necessarily more customers.  I've noticed this in my adwords campaigns, but I can't be sure it's due to the Google change in algorithm just yet.  Observing and  testing and time will tell.

On Nichebot, they write: "but the question remains for those who are keyword focused and already have positions and want to keep them…. What will this mean to the rules of getting and staying in the top results on Google and what will happen to your search engine rankings come this Wednesday when the change goes into effect? Will the power of using all the other channels like video, images, news and maps allow you to gain more power in your own search engines listings?"

Overcoming Limitations

by Angela Wickenberg


By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we
gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth, we acquire great
treasures. –Buddha

Put seeds and cover them. Blades will sprout where you do your work. –Rumi

New seed is faithful. Its roots deepest in the places that are most empty.
–Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Have you ever heard the saying: “thoughts are things”?  It is a simple statement
and seemingly widely accepted and well known that everything achieved is first
mentally conceived.

Take a look around you.  All of the things that we live in and use, houses,
cars, food in supermarkets, space stations, the Internet, are all things and
were first ideas in the minds of people who dared to think outside of what was
the normally accepted boundaries for what was possible.

How StumbleUpon Drives Traffic To Your Site

It’s what you want. The very popular StumbleUpon concept is simple: when you sign up, you provide the service with some of your interests, and you install the neat little toolbar. Once you’ve got the application installed, you can simply begin stumbling and you can tell the system how you feel about the page that was served to you. By clicking on the thumbs up “I like it” button or by clicking on the thumbs-down button, you teach the SU system what content you truly enjoy. By stumbling and sharing your finds to other users, you’re personalizing your own experience and the experience of your peers as well.

The personalization concept — where content is being provided based on your own desires — has proven to be quite successful. Since it was introduced two years ago, StumbleUpon now boasts over 1.8 million users, and is continually expanding. Version 2.90 of the toolbar, which came out earlier this week, is incorporating the relatively new video social search engine that it unveiled in December. StumbleUpon is truly growing…

DiggAnd so is Digg.

At half the amount of subscribers that StumbleUpon has, Digg is aiming to emulate the SU concept, a recent BusinessWeek article has reported. Hot on the heels of StumbleUpon, Digg (which launched its own video extension five days after StumbleUpon did) is aiming even higher to SU’s core success model: a recommendation tool.

According to Kevin Rose, Digg’s founder who is quoted in the article, “Digg will be smart enough to know what interests you” and it will serve content that fits within the tastes of its users. For current subscribers, this means that Digg will serve content based on the stories users have dugg or buried. If you used the service to promote pages that you truly liked, the Digg system appears to not be much different from StumbleUpon.

More and more companies are involving themselves in what can be an imminent threat (well, perhaps not just yet — and it still depends on who you ask): personalization. Google’s personalized search is being promoted more heavily. As more and more people realize that there are only a few items that may be of interest to them when they search, systems are learning to adapt to user preferences through their own algorithms. As Google explains it, if you’re searching for “dolphin” because you want to learn more about the football team from Miami, you’re not overly concerned with results pertaining to marine life. Depending on the types of pages you visit and the domains upon which these sites are located, Google’s personalized search will rank these pages higher than the undesirable results, thus providing you with a searching experience that like that of no other user. To Google, this is a move provide quality results and reduce the unnecessary clutter.

 

To make our websites shine through these results and be obvious to the viewer, there will likely be obstacles that we’ll need to overcome. Good content is a necessity. Telling your friends is a good way to get the word out. Promoting these pertinent sites through social search is still going to be very useful.

We’re bordering on a new era, one with incredible challenge and obstacles, but one that does have the end user — you — in mind, and hopefully everyone in all communities will be happy with the results.
