From $0 to $1000/DAY in PPV
I posted this elsewhere, but i tought i need to post it here too:
It was all started when i joined to an another forum earlier this year. Of course, later i joined STM too. I remember i was totally amazed about the quality of the information that i can get here and on my other forum too.
I tried lot of verticals, traffic sources, but one day i decided that, from now on i'll follow the old advice: Stick with one source and MAKE IT WORK. It was really hard for me, because when i talked with other affiliates and saw their success on FB / POF / Bing then i wanted to jump on to that train too.
After some failures i slowly noticed: there is hope. I got the same hosting, same tracking, same networks, same offers like other affiliates. If they can make it work, then everybody can. The only thing is different: mindset. I read tons of success stories. Those are my motivation.
Nowdays my main vertical is ususally something financial related. Loans, Credit Reports, Grants etc.
Long story short, earlier this week i experienced one thing, that i’ll NEVER forget.
8/17/2011. My parents 26th anniversary. Wow, they’re married since 26 years, impressive!
That day was also my first $1k/day with PPV ONLY. I was totally shocked when i checked my stats in the morning. Sidenote: In Hungary, the avg. monthly salary is around $500USD/Month. True story: affiliate marketing CAN change your life.
The numbers:
Date - Cost - Revenue - Profit - ROI

Oh and i also started investing in to list building. I only collect emails from buyers so my list isn’t that big, but that’s enough for me now. This list is just a bonus for the converting visitors.
After 1 week i checked my stats:
280 subscribers, 39 clicks (that’s 13,9% CTR) 10,3% conversion rate - $72 profit (since i already paid for the traffic – PPV) And this only comes from the autoresponder messages. But hey, i’m able to send them anything (related to the list, of course) ANYTIME in the future!
Just wanted to thank you guys here at STM and on my other forum too! You’re changed my life.

Very nice 
Do you use same PPV traffic for all your offers, cos they are all related? Like if you find targets that work with credit reports, you can use them for loans too.

Awesome Story man! Congrats, I wish you the best.
Have a question; How do you collect their emails, what is your process? First sending to your email capture page than email the offer?

what amaze me is the ROI and the cost that you are spending to get that $1000...
that's like 500++% which is totally insane...
love success stories like that... motivates me and everyone to push ourselves out of our comfort zone..

I got this question at the other forum too, so if yo don't mind i just copy my answer!
I'm building my list only with one of my campaigns right now. Here's how it looks:
-> Traffic
-> LP level 1 catchy lander
-> LP level 2 with an optional offer #1
-> LP level 3 with an OPTIONAL opt-in form. Lot of my visitors won't get this deep. But the buyers are more than happy to go deeper than level 2-3, so this way i know they are interested. I prefer to use fb connect button, not the standard opt-in forms. This way i can get the primary e-mail address from the users, not just a secondary / backup one. Think about it: when you sign up to a list, most of the time you're using a secondary e-mail address, because you don't know what to except. Nobody wants his / her primary address spammed to death.
-> DL level 4 - Offer #2 after opt-in
-> BONUS: Automated messages with offer #3-#4-#5... etc and the list goes on as far as you can imagine (monetize).
Funny i know, but when you make something optional, ppl are more likely (at least, in my case) to sign-up / buy something, because they don't feel forced to continue participating / buying. You can get higher profits if you make the optional steps to mandatory, but hey, is it worth it? Loosing you network account, your relationship with the advertiser and get your ass banned from their other offers? I don't think so.
Also, as i suggested earlier, if you got traffic from TV you
NEED to use ctrtard's script:
Stop PPV Leaks on Your Landing Pages I splittested my landers with and without the code... What do you think what was the result?

I dont understand that funnel, can you break it out more detail? Is that your email seq. or split testing LPs, or a co-reg type of funnel?

NICE!
Looks like you got not only a traffic source down, but you know a niche well too. This is something you should stick with, the more knowledgeable you become in both PPV and the niche your in, the easier you'll be able to find new-similar campaigns in the future!

Thanks for the kind words, guys!
Sorry for the late reply, but i'm totally buried in work. Finally, i registered my own LLC, last week! It feels really great!

I split tested the lander with and without the code. No surprise: My ROI is way better WITH the code!
