It happened sooner than I thought…

May 3, 2010 · Posted in Anatomy of a Campaign, SEO, Success 

I got my first sale yesterday with the guitar niche.  Quite frankly this happened sooner than I thought it would.  I have only gotten about 40 clicks to the sales pages, so that is pretty quick to me.

Also, the sale was not even the main product I am promoting!  Hmmm.

So, from here I will keep promoting just like I have been except add in some new keywords to target, just as I was planning on doing anyway.

One sale means nothing really, but I still get a thrill when I get them, especially in a niche I have never gone into.  And I am not concerned that I didn’t get a sale of the main product I was promoting – if this happens some more I may change the main product to the one that is selling.

Not that I want to invite competition, but the website I made is http://www.learnelectricguitaronline.net.

It’s a simple “review” style site made with Affiliate Genie (which makes the whole process extremely easy by the way).  I started off targeting a few keywords, like “learn electric guitar online,” “learn to play the electric guitar,” and “learn to play electric guitar.”

But I stopped targeting these and targeted product names ONLY, like Jamplay, Guitartricks, Elmore and Jamorama.  I also added  extensions to these keywords like “review,” “reviews,” “lessons,” “scam.”  You get the idea.

Then I did exactly what I have been explaining on this blog in THIS POST by getting my content out there and building links.  I use SENUKE to save time and automate the process, but all of this can be done by hand.

Otherwise, that’s it.  It’s not rocket science.  To me it’s a numbers game – you find a hungry crowd, find an affiliate product, build a blog or a site, drive traffic, and you will make sales.

Does it happen overnight?  Sometimes yes, but it’s rare.  It takes time, patience and work, but you can make it happen.

I will keep you updated on how this site grows and progresses, but I plan on continuing to spread content and links so that it becomes a nice little passive income generator for me.

And I am also working on some cool stuff I will be posting here in the coming weeks on new ways of building links as well as how you can make a ton of money in little goldmine niches that literally no one goes after.
