Hi,
I guess I should share my success with the 3PPP to date, as it's actually going pretty well for me now
I only started the 3PPP a few months ago and it took me about three or four weeks to get to Phase 3. Now if you think this is fast, then you're right. Others have done it faster but please don't think this is how it should be. I have a big advantage in that I'm already a very experienced web designer, so putting the site together wasn't a hardship for me at all. The thing that took time for me was getting my head around all the great marketing advice Erich gives in the 3rd Phase. So getting to Phase 3 was fast, but moving forward from there was like running through mud, slow and a little messy
Then I hit a brick wall too as my company I work for decided to have a restructure, which made my position redundant. I work for a big company, so there was a possibility of getting another position, but it was a big restructure and it was very uncertain times, especially as I was also in the middle of selling and buying a house too!!
So, as you can imagine, I have a site that I've just spent a few weeks creating which I know is ready to make money but I'm close to losing my job and I'm trying to move house, so frustrated didn't even come close to how I was feeling!
Anyway, here's how it's all turned out and I'm guessing that you've got some kind of idea as I'm posting a success story. Like I said I work for a major company and fortunately I've been doing a pretty good job for them, so I managed to come out of the restructure with a new job, which actually turned out to be a promotion! My house move was secured and we are now just about to move in a week to a house my family love and we are all very excited. The icing on the cake though was that with my new job I was able to put down some money to market my site, at last I could get it out there and start moving forward again.
That was back at the beginning of April. I have worked on it everday since, tweaking the site and tweaking the advertising. Running every report under the sun on all the sites I work with to understand whats happening and changing things I think need to change. I've also been in this forum everyday doing my Moderators job as well as learning from everyone that are kindly sharing their knowledge.
At first I only saw some very disappointing results, with about $3 - $4 a day from Adsense and maybe one or two leads in Affiliate Fuel or B.O.N. My advertising was bringing in various numbers of visitors and I was losing money on bad keywords.
I concentrated at first on my advertising, as I could see that I was spending money for very little return. I learnt a lot from posts in the Advertising section of this forum and realised that I had not set up my Adwords very well. So I got wiser and with it came more successful Ad campaigns with higher click thru at more sensible prices. Over the last few weeks I've seen a massive increase in my traffic, I'm now getting an average of 500+ unique visitors a day on my site. This isn't just due to Adwords though, I also use other CPC's and have Ads placed on a few sites.
So you'd think with that kind of traffic I should be getting better sales results, and you would be right! However the thing I found was that it took a couple of days for it to show through. At first I was getting a load of traffic but still very little sales, apart from Adsense which seems to increase or decrease in line with my traffic, but still wasn't enough to worry about. Then all of a sudden my sales started to increase.
It started about four weeks ago. The first week I got about four clickbank sales, my AF went up to about $15, B.O.N. was doing well at around $40 and that's about it. Week 2 was much better and into week 3 I was seeing one sale a day on clickbank and two or three in AF & BON. Now, in the last week I have clickbank sales averaging $80 a day, I'm getting a minimum of 5 leads/actions on AF and BON and I haven't yet mentioned the success I'm having with Peak Impact and Mom Execs have I! Well they are both achieving an average of 3 to 4 a day!
I've also just managed to get my first two EA's with SFI in the last four days!
I can't believe how well this is going and if it keeps growing like this you're going to see me on the Top Sales Leaders lists very shortly. The thing is I know I've done a lot to get to this stage, but I also know that there is so much more to do! I've still really only touched on the marketing and yet I'm having some great results. I also know there are a few really success 3PP leaders out there too and I can only hope to have the kind of success they are achieving. I have to remember to remain patient though, I cannot expect this growth to continue at the same rate as it just doesn't happen that way. Plus I must be prepared for it to have it's lows as well as it's highs.
I wish every one the success that I'm am now starting to experience, please remember this is a marathon not a sprint. Follow Erich's amazing 3PPP, trust him and believe in his wise words. I followed his plan to the letter and it's working. I'm am yet to enjoy the profits of my site as I'm re-investing every last cent earned, but my goal now is to take my family on our first holiday abroad since my son was born nearly four years ago, fully paid by this business. Maybe I'll pop over and give Erich my personal thanks! So be warned Erich
