That last 2 years have been a little up and down for me. As something hits something else dips. Just as I think I have a technique nailed a variable in the background changes and screws the whole thing. This was until the last 4 months. I’m now starting to have some nice success with affiliate marketing of the organic kind. So much so that I’ve got my method nailed down tight enought that I can follow my own recipe and within 6-8 weeks be making affiliate income out of a niche. My success rate at the moment is 77%, of the 9 niches I’ve setup in 7 are making an affiliate income. These aren’t micro niches either, online dating is just one area I’ve setup in and I’m now driving affiliate sales from organic traffic. So what does this have to do with you? My recipe, I’m prepared (I think) to share it, but before I go to the effort of documenting it I’d like to know what interest there is first?
The biggest stumbling block to this is that it requires some initial financial outlay. Not to me of course, well unless I decide to sell the information that is, but to get the tools you need to have this work. Whilst it isn’t a fully automated process it certainly egdes towards that side of the “pay/hard work” balance. If I was doing what I was doing manually then there just wouldn’t be enough hours in the day.
I’m not talking mega bucks here either, a hundred dollars tops to get started and then 2 recurring service fees. Once you’ve got it setup though you can try as many niches as you like with minimal extra cost.
So what I need to know is what sort of demand is there out there for this information? This will have a huge influence on if I take the time out to do this. Let me be perfectly clear here, I’m already a bit nervous about the whole thing. As I wrote in my 10 reasons to give up blogging post I’m very aware of people hammering EXACTLY what I write about and impacting my own income. There’s also the fact that I’ll be detailing 1 and possibly 2 of my own programs for public use/abuse. On the flip side I started this blog to try and help other people make more money from the internet so it’s a tough decision to make.
The other question as well is if I do decide to do this how would you rather have the information, in a password protected blog post or in e-book format?

Certainly interested Paul, and a big thumbs up to you attempting to do something like this.
|E-book preferable but happy either way.

I think its awesome that you prepare to sell your money making system. I always wonder how you make your money.
If its not a lot of information to go over. I say maybe both password protected blog post and ebook. If its alot of information and you know people are going to email you for support. I recommend going with a membership/private forum business model. That way you don’t have to write the same email over and over. You could refer the person to the post in the private forum. Also, any time their are changes or updates that need to be made in your system you could simply post it in the private forum. Email it to your memberships that it has been changes and provide a link to the post in the private forum.
Just my 2 cents.

Even though I’m highly interested in case studies I have to recommend you to be a bit careful. If you tell them about a domain someone will instantly not only try to outrank you, but also look up all your backlinks and begin using the exact things you do.
I may be a bit negative, but a word of caution is never a bad thing.

Very brave thing to do Paul but I must confess it was your $100 a day post that actually made me subscribe to your blog – something I do not regret.
I say go for it… Most people who read it won’t actually bother to implement it, those who do will be grateful to you and will try not impact on your niches.
There obviously may be a few exceptions, but your better than them (‘cos they weren’t doing jack before you taught them) so I wouldn’t worry too much.
Go for it, share the wealth!
|I look forward to the post!

I would like to have it in an ebook format just based on selfish reasons of being able to read it on my blackberry as well as pc.
