Hi Triumph,
good to hear you're making headway in affiliate mkting.
by the way, here's a snapshot of my clickbank stats:
![[Image: DSclickbank060911.gif]](http://www.whoisandrewwee.com/images/stats/DSclickbank060911.gif)
due to TOS, I can't show everything.
my point is not to try to impress you, but to show you that affiliate marketing even for a newcomer like me is a sustainable business model.
I adopted a more systmatic approach though, so my results are better than most.
according to one product owner, my affiliate conversion was 5-7% (that was for secretblogweapon.com)
the rest of his affiliates were converting at about 1%.
here's the differences in my approach.
Compared to adsense, affiliate mkting takes more effort.
with adsense (or other contextual or web ads) you just spit the content on the page and the advertising kinda auto-gens itself.
but i did some calculations.
One aff marketing txn is roughly equal to 1,000 - 2,000 google clickthroughs.
depending on the product, it could be equal to 5,000 click through.
so i was thinking what the heck.
do i need to build 100,000 visitors a day (even with an optimistic 10% CTR), to equal what i'm getting?
so i'm going affliate mkting all the way.
if you check my blog, i've completely thrown out adsense on a lot of the pages.
this is my affiliate mkting strategy:
1) profile the product (buy it and use it is even better)
2) know the strengths and weaknesses of the product
3) craft a mkting campaign (in essence you're the mkting manager, you develop the messages, distribute it, convert it to sales and justify your 20-90% affiliate commission).
4) analyze your stats
5) refine your strategy
6) relaunch and repeat.

for the month of Aug, I was top affiliate for secretblogweapon.com.
If you listen to the interview Gobala (the prod creator) did with me at:
www.WhoIsAndrewWee.com #1 Affiliate Internet Marketing partner for SecretBlogWeapon.com!
you might have an idea that I killed the competition.
the next further affiliate was about a mile away.
and i think the proof that my formula works is that by the first week of Sep, I nearly doubled the number of copies sold compared to the 2 weeks in Aug.
so it's kinda cool to log in to clickbank in the morning and see a bunch of cash appear in my balance...
ps: You can take a look at the next step in my Internet Mkting: Explode your Internet Marketing income through the Keiretsu
and i sincerely mean that my $20k/mth figure by Mar 07 is really way too conservative.
PPS: to date i've spent $0 on paid ads. zero on PPC. so besides time, it's almost pure profit!
PPPS: sorry Zach if i'm taking this waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy out of domain territory!
