The Internet Marketing Challenge Blog

Archive for the ‘Adsense’ Category

This challenge is about making $100 a day in three months from adsense from 1 blog which leaves me with a bit of a problem about how to report this and be in compliance with Googles TOS on revealing private information about our adsense accounts. Let us be clear about what we can and cannot reveal, we cannot reveal any information about CTR, CPM or number of clicks etc but we can reveal Gross earnings from our adsense account only.

This leaves me with the dilemma of how I can reveal what I am earning at the end of 3 months from this challenge and it means there will have to be a large element of trust on your behalf on what I am earning from the one blog.

What I will do is reveal my awstats screenshots as normal plus any other elevant traffic statistics and give you an overview of how the adsense is performing without going into any specifics or revealing actual figures. It is always difficult when trying to demonstrate anything related to Adsense to find the fine line between staying within Googles TOS and actually revealing information and this is no different.

What I do promise is that I will give you 100% honesty, if the challenge is not going well, you will know about it!

Since I began the challenge I have been receiving a great number of emails and PM’s from various people who are basically asking the same question which is whether I can provide some sort of private one-on-one mentoring to help them reach their income goals. Of course if I could I would love to help however my time is limited and it would be difficult to provide this sort of support for everyone who asked.

However this has got me thinking about how I can provide a membership service to a limited number of people to help members reach their income goals. What I am looking for at this stage are suggestions of what you would like to see from a private membership. I want this to really work and help people reach their personal income goals whether it be just $20 a day or a $1000 a day.

To help me tailor this better for everyone interested then please answer the following questions…

1. Would you like the membership to be specifically about Adsense or would you like to include various other online business models (affiliate, info product creation etc..)?
2. What is your realistic initial income goal?
3. How long have you been trying to earn an income online?
4. Do you prefer video tutorials, written tutorials, audio or a mixture of all of them?
5. Out of the following, what would you like help with the most?
   1. Content Creation
   2. Locating good niches
   3. Building sites/blogs
   4. Getting traffic to your site/blog
   5. Monetizing an existing site
   6. Very basic newbie help (how to start?)
6. Do you prefer private forums, email, live chat or a mixture of all of them?

If you could answer any of these questions and email me at suggestions then this would be much appreciated! Also, if you have any specific suggestions or just plain think it is a bad idea then also please tell me. I am looking for people who are serious about reaching their income goals only and will it will be limited to around 150 people initially so I can provide a personal service. I will appreciate all positive feedback, good or bad!

Sorry, it’s been a few days since the last update but I have so much on my plate at the moment it is hard to stay on top of everything. Anyway, the traffic is increasing every day except for the last couple of days it has dipped a bit but this is normal so I am not concerned, I have experienced these sort of ups and downs in traffic many times. Here is a screenshot of the latest visitor count..

I so far have 30 articles published on the blog only and will be adding a lot more over the coming days, in fact I aim to have over 200 articles posted come the end of February.
