Pimpy, V3Tees & AskTeens - My August Projects & Startups

Comments (6)By Ahson Rafiq in Affiliate Marketing, My Projects & Startups, Reviews on 13th August 2008

Every month I like to open side projects that I work on, on and off. This month I have 3 projects each from different niches that Ill work on for maybe 1-2 months more then sell it off for some quick cash. This is why I’ve made the category for my Projects and Startups now.

Pimpy.tv

It’s a silly name I know, but the whole “hot girls videos” niche is far from over as a matter of fact it’s still just launching nowadays alotta people are just finding these videos online, many months ago I started a site like this and it got over 30k uniques within a week of youtube advertising, it’s harder now because the market is full of these kind of sites, doesn’t mean I should stop trying, now does it?

Startegy

  1. Videos from metacafe
  2. Youtube promotion - look at the image above.
  3. Build up traffic
  4. Add adult affiliates
  5. Add videos from those adult affiliates
  6. Sit back and earn.

So far the traffic on it has been nothing but minimal, more videos and social media marketing I guess?

This site is more then a year old now, but only now I have started to work on it properly, sales are racking up everyday because of my new landing page. If you’re interested in making a t-shirt affiliate site you’ll need a T-shirt Affiliate as well, use mine. The landing page I was talking about is shown in the screen shot below and explained thoroughly in my earlier post.

As you can see from the screenshot below, the sales fluctuate alot, since this is stumbleupon traffic I’m not paying a dime for it, yet. The ol’ business cycle..boom..recession..growth.

AskTeens

This blog has been incredibly hard to just get off the ground, I’ve been working really hard on it but no real results surface so far in means of traffic and readers, I’ve tried posting on different topics, even added free tools and videos..etc addons to it but so far the traffic is still quite small. Heres my plan for this thing.

Strategy

  1. More articles - better daily posting frequenct - 2/day - for 1 week
  2. 1 Contest - maybe.
  3. More tools
  4. More SMM
  5. Forum later down the line when i hit 1k uv/day
  6. After that it’s just a matter of adding adsense to proft from this one.

My sure shot way to make t-shirt affiliate sites work!

Comment (1)By Ahson Rafiq in Affiliate Marketing, My Projects & Startups, News on 9th August 2008

As I promised yesterday, here is how I made 100$ in 2 days (actually it was 1 day since it was over night), so here it is.

V3tees is a blog I made where I post about t-shirts that my T-shirt Affiliate provides me with, for every sale I get paid $4, which is pretty good considering the way these visitors convert into sales. At first I only had a blog with around 20-30 sales a month which got me barely over the 100$ payout mark, I wanted to do something better that would get me much more sales, less work, less complication, that is why I changed the content structure on the site, I made a test page with a custom design that nests all the t-shirts exactly like the most t-shirt sites. Now I know why they have such good sales, theres no complication in their webdesign to promote their designs. You can see what I ended up with on the Funny Tees page.

To make sure my T-shirt Affiliate doesn’t suffer any bandwidth loss because of my traffic surge, I hosted all of the images myself. And for every image on that page is linked with an affiliate link to the right page. My T-shirt Affiliate has a really good affiliate link structure that allowed to make that page much easier then it usually is with other affiliate sites in the same genre.

After the page was live, before I went to facebook or adwords for some cpc campaigns, I stumbled the page, and luckily it picked up alot of heat there, I received nearly 25,000 visitors just from stumble upon out of which 7000 visitors clicked the images to buy them, and out of that only 27 bought over night making me a sum of 108$, all of this was with $0 spent on advertising although I might consider running a few campaigns at stumble upon to promote this site further next week.

If you are interested you can register at my T-shirt Affiliate, it has great payouts, after all it worked for me :D

Well, thats it for my effort to help you guys for today, tune in again for some adwords fun tomorrow!

My First Adwords Campaign and it’s results.

As corny as it may sound, my first adword campaign wasn’t all that good, at the moment I have more then 20 running successfully but to fully cover this topic I need to post all stats here. So, when I made my first Adwords Ad, and tried to smack it on to some affiliates on a landing page, I got the lowest conversions that was mostly becuase of non targeted traffic and the fact that I was using a Text ad, in my opinion Image ADs work much better then Text ads because you can write much more on an Image ad rather then a text ad, given that fact, here are the stats of my first campaign:

And from 11$ of advertising I only made $4.50 back, to be honest that is a sort of a good conversion since it was my first time, right now I’m investing only xx and getting back xxxx, all from better traffic targetting and strategies.

I never completely rely on Adwords every time I make a landing page now, it has to have the following:

  1. Convincing benefits
  2. Strong Language
  3. Proof/Testimonials
  4. Some free media

And before running an adword campaign I make sure I do the following to that page:

  1. Stumble it
  2. Digg it
  3. Submit to other SB sites
  4. Post it on forums
  5. Get it known on myspace..facebook..through bulk submission deals..etc
  6. Blog about it here IF its relevant.

Next time, I’ll show you guys how you could make 100$ in 2 days by investing $0 ZERO. Yep you read it right. Tune in tomorrow for the big tip!
