Hard To Believe

[Lori G.]

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would pass on this little bit of success.

Just last night, I started advertising. A few free classifieds, set up accounts with MSN, Looksmart, Google. Just barely touching the surface of what is laid out in Phase 3. Today I find out I signed up free members to TOPS, BU and SFI (of course I sent them follow up letters trying to get them to upgrade). Today alone I have 210 visitors (today is not over yet either) AND I made about $30. This is all within 24 hours. I did not expect to see results this quick! This is by far, the BEST work at home opportunity available anywhere!

Thank you Erich!! Thank you everyone!

That's awesome Lori! I know you have been working extremely hard to get to where you are at now and you're just seeing a little payoff for your efforts. You deserve this success and much more for sticking with it.

Great job!

That is great Lori. I am very happy for you. Erich's training is by far the ONLY one I can proudly say that it works and it shows the average person that he or she can too make some good money online whether it is part time or full time.

Again, I am very happy for you Lori.

Congrats Lori! Wow, you sure weren't long in starting to see results, you've barely started phase 3. I guess all of that coaching through phase 1 and 2 is already starting to pay off. See, being rather nitpicky does have its benefits Now you have a great site which I'm sure will be very profitable for you if you follow Erich's advertising suggestions to the letter, along with the various hints and suggestions that you can pick up throughout the forum. Keep up the great work!

Congrats Lori!
You have been working hard to get to Phase 3 , also you are very active in the forum giving a helping hand to new members.
I feel we will be soon reading a post stating you're making $1,000 per month.

Hello Lori:

Congrats on your success!!! If you haven't already, be sure to call Looksmart and have them target your Campaigns towards their top affiliates related to what your website offers, if you don't you'll probably get a bunch of unwanted clicks. When they target your campaigns your adds will go out to %15 of their visitors; they did that for me and I get a lot of quality visitors.

Corbin,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about Looksmart. What would I say when I call them? I am getting a fair amount of traffic from them, but not seeing as much conversion as I would like. Should I just say that, or is there something I should ask for specifically?

Sorry to be so clueless.

I also have an MSN account with the same ads that are my very best performing on google. I get maybe one or two clicks a day for a while, and then it goes completely dead for five or six days. I called them, and got no help at all. In fact they told me my campaign was doing well!

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

[Lori]

Great News Lori…

Having 210 visitors your first 24 hours is Excellent! You are well on your way to be a Stay at home Mom!

Congratulations…Hope you have more champagne left.

Hello Debbie:

Don't worry Debbie, you don't sound clueless; I just learned about these things a couple of days ago. I just kept calling Looksmart and MSN until I got someone on the phone who was willing to help me. As a matter a fact I got of hold of a guy from MSN who kept calling me back to make sure his suggestions were working for me, and they were. Below is the answer to your questions.

1. Call Looksmart and tell them that you want all of your campaings directed towards their top affiliates (people who are interested in home businesses); your campaign will then go out to about %15 of their visitors instead of all of their visitors; just setting up campaigns with Looksmart and running them will most likely get you a lot of unwanted clicks.

2. Like you, I was using my Google and Yahoo ads and converting them to MSN, I was only getting about 5 clicks a day. I called MSN and finally got a hold of someone who told me some helpful tips. I didn't know you could change the targeting on keywords. Once I did that my clicks started rising everyday. I'm getting about 50 a day now and I'm not done optimizing them.

To do this just go into your MSN account and click on a campaign. Select the order you want to change; once you get to the next page click on the "Manage Keywords" tab; once your at the "Manage Keywords" page, click on the "Match Options" tab, it's above where your keywords are listed; 3 options will drop down; click "Show Match Types."

You'll then see three match options show up with checks in one of the columns. The options are "Broad" "Phrase" "Exact" My checks were in the "broad" section. The gentlemen I spoke to told me to switch the checks to "Phrase." Once I did that my clicks and profits have risen. You have to manually switch the checks but it should be worth your time and effort.

If you have anymore questions please let me know. I hope that helps.

Congratulations Lori - that is an excellent result.

[Deb]

Thanks, Corbin,

I'll try both those things.

[Corbin]

Hello Debbie:

No problem. You might want to check all three boxes in the "Manage Keywords" section, I think I'm going to do it myself, it can only give you more impressions which will give you more clicks.

Corbin

[Corbin]

Debbie:

One more thing, remember to reset your CPC for those keywords you change. MSN doesn't do it for you.

Let us know if that's what actually happens. Before I saw this post, I just went through and unchecked "broad" and checked "phrase" for everything.

Sandi

PS: Thanks for passing this on.

[gainingprofit]

That is some great news lori and you should be very proud of your self right now,
Keep up the good work and stay consistant!

[Corbin]

Hello Sandi:

I hope I didn't mess you up. I changed to "Phrases" the other day and then right after I posted to Debbie I spoke with an MSN Rep and she said to get even more clicks I should try checking all boxes. I've started doing it and I will let you know how I make out. Just checking the "Phrase" box jumped up my clicks quit a bit, we'll see how I do checking them all.

Corbin

[Lori G.]

Thanks for the info Corbin. I will definately do that on Monday. This is great. I just got home from work and checked my stats. Made $34 on clickbank, signed up a new SFI affiliate and had over 200 visitors since 7 this morning. This is unbelievable!!

Lori

[Susan Jennerjohn]

That is terrific Lori!

That is exactly how it is suppose to go right? That is such a wonderful feeling when you go and see all the money in all of the accounts? I was just saying that to one of my kids.

I certainly didn't get that satisfaction working for salary at the restaurant I was at. Very much looked forward to my paychecks there, but did not have the satisfaction working on my business (from home mind you) and seeing the money come in by the hour.

Keep it up! You will be buying yourself a new car in no time.

Susan

[Deb]

Ok, Corbin,

We anxiously await your report.

Hoorah Lori G,

Keep up the good work. Maintain that lovely enthusiasm. That keeps the motor running. Awesome results in a short time. I don't know your situation but I would suggest you pace yourself until you know how things work. All search engines don't bill the same way. Read the TOS carefully. Having been used to Googles user friendly billing system I got a surprise by LookSmart, they automatically bill you when the balance dips below a certain point. They don't have a pause function like google so you have to lower your budget or delete the campaign if you are exceeding your monthly advertising budget. And also be advised there is a gap between earning and receiving your profits. Many times at least a month. More If you are outside continental US. I am in Thailand. It takes 3 weeks after mailing for me to receive my checks and then I have to send it back my bank in the US taking another 3 weeks.

You are doing great Lori G, Keep up the good work. Just making sure you don't burn out yourself or your budget.

Darwin

Lori,
You are correct, this is by far, the BEST work at home opportunity available anywhere!
Congratulations on your quick start. Each day, week and month will get better.
Keep us informed of your success.

Hello Everyone:

One more thing in regards to MSN PPC. I have been adding negative keywords into my campaigns, and if you don't know how to do that I'll explain:

1. Click on one of you Campaigns
2. Click the order you want to change
3. Click on the "manage keywords" tab
4. On the left hand side you'll see the box with the words "add multiple keywords"
5. Click the arrow on the right of that and you'll get a drop down box
6. Scroll down to "add multiple excluded keywords"
7. Click on that and then enter you negative keywords
8. You don't need to put an "-" in front of the words
9. After you have entered your words in, just click "add to keyword list"
10. Go to the bottom right and click the "continue" tab
11. On the next page just make sure your CPC is still where you want it.

Lori - I love reading stories like yours. I am very happy for you now that you are seeing the fruits of your labor. NOw that you see the power in your website there should be no stopping you from reaching your goals.

Corbin - thanks for the great information on Looksmart and MSN. Could I ask you to start threads in the Advertising section with this information as I think there are many people who may not see this information in this thread.

No appology required. Your responses were perfect for this thread. I just thing that more people will see your great tips if you share your advertising information in the adverting section also.

By the way - I did not know about the MSN "broad", "Exact" and "phase" match options - hopefully it will lead to more sales and traffic for me. Thank you!

Congratulations Lori - thats wonderful!

This is excellent news Lori, it's great to see that you're getting results so quickly. Keep up the momentum and you'll soon be making $300 a day rather than $30! (if you do then let me know your secret, please )
