The Internet Marketing Challenge - $50 To $2000 In One Month - Can It Be Done?
I allowed myself $50 for this experiment which I must spend wisely if I am to meet my goal of $2000 in 30 days. The first thing I purchased was a month of Aweber auto responder which I believe is the core of any business online.
Next I Opened a cheap hosting plan with godaddy and purchased a .info domain name for $2. I chose a subject I know a lot about and began writing articles, once I had 20 articles each targeted at specific keywords within the subject I created a squeeze page offering more information about the subject in return for a name and email address.
By now I was already 3 days into the challenge and starting to doubt if I would make it to my target in time.
I submitted the articles on 3 of the major article directories and set myself the task of writing at least 4-5 every day after that.
Once I started seeing a stream of subscribers coming in I set up an series of follow up emails promoting only one product.
I was now 1 week into the challenge and $151.54 the richer.
Sales were coming slowly but steady.
After the second week I was $700 up in affiliate commissions.
I didn’t manage to write articles every day due to time constraints and taking care of my main business.
On the last few days leading up to the end of the 30 days I had only made $1462.23 so I gave it everything I had and wrote at least 10 articles (which for me is alot)
Midnight struck on the 30th day and I logged into my affiliate account to check my total earning.
$1789.92 after a couple of refund that had been deducted. I had not made my target but I was still very surprised about the return on initial investment. It just goes to show what a fantastic business this is when you can start a profitable business with just $50!
