I recommend this again for update about your niche
Get real-time updates for ANY page on internet
  1. Sign in your Google account
  2. Go to google.com/alerts
  3. In box, says "Create an alert about", type site:
  4. In box, add the URL of page (example --> playboytv.com/models)
  5. In box, it looks like this site:blayboytv.com/models
  6. Open "Show options" dropdown
  7. How often? As-it-happens
  8. Sources? Automatic
  9. Language? English (can use for an other language)
  10. Region? Any region
  11. How many? All results
  12. Deliver to? Your email (or RSS feed)
  13. Choose button Create alert
Now you will get alert send to your email when Playboy TV adds new model
 
Best of luck! If Amazon ships the rest of your orders, you could make it.

It's getting close, 36 hours left !! :eek:
At the start of November I chose $3k because
  1. It will be very difficult ..
  2. .. but not impossible
Now I repeat this formula every time
  1. Calculate realistic goal (difficult & not impossible)
  2. Set the date (30-day challenge)
  3. Create plan (day-2-day, tasks & time --> add in calendar, w/alerts)
  4. Be focused & follow plan
Sometimes I will start to change the plan & start testing new ideas during challenge, but it's not good, best to finish the challenge just like original plan

Passed $3k target on the final day
I'm listening to this awesome song


To everyone following --> it's possible
Set goal your goal, choose date, make plan, then act
Only stops you is when you say "I quit"
It's about discipline & belief inside
F*ck the odds, just embrace the challenge
I'm not smarter than you, the secret is I won't quit

Affiliate Marketing Diary 2020

Affiliate Marketing Definitely Works
I lost my job due to Covid-19 and I have no other source of money so I started my affiliate marketing journey in lockdown with $25 invested in a domain name and hosting

Before I started I read in lots of place that affiliate marketing doesn't work so I decided to try it for 6 months full time 100% effort and see what happens
  • Start date: August 2020
  • Budget: $25
  • Target: $100 a day by Christmas
  • Niche: Clothing/fashion
  • Commission range: 5-10%
  • Traffic source: Google organic search
Month #1 Target
  • $40 daily commission
  • $1200 monthly commission
Month #1 Results

  • $750 monthly commission
  • Visits: 30k
  • Views: 85k
  • Revenue: $12k
Month #2 Target

  • $1800 monthly commission
Wow.. excellent. Congratulations. I've tried working on two companies affiliate marketing. Per day, I'm posting 5 posts in forums. So far I was successful in generating 600 clicks, but no sales. Request you to offer your advice. Is it the blogging that works for affiliate marketing or only forum posting? With much appreciation & kind regards,

  • What is your category & niche?
  • Target customer - age, sex, location?
  • What type product do you promote?
I dont make 1 sale from forum posting
100% organic traffic of Google
Category is : Healthcare
Niche: women skin care
Target customer: 18 to 50+
Location: Global
Promoting: beauty products & vegan vitamins

I'm able to generate clicks and conversions from forum posting and little bit of traffic from blogging. But so far, working on sales.

Please advise.

Thanks so much.

For volume and scaling I must to learn data feed integrations, if you know about this or want to learn please message to data feed integration thread started by @Graybeard
Actually I am finding more shareasale vendors with datafeeds ... I am looking for currently updated feeds as the vendor is curating their content and is serious about it --and the EPC and average conversion rates are shown (assuming they are accurate).
found this the other day --good ad leader maybe?

Watch product video and use what the demonsrtation man talks about for your product description

(I am not connected to affiliate link in video description)
 
PHP:
<?php


$line ="a|b|c|d|e";
$feedarray = explode ("|" , $line);

echo $feedarray[0]  . "<= first<br>\n";

shareasale/tomtop$ php feed_array.php
returns:
a<= first<br>
CSV feeds use a delimiter. | was chosen to allow , (commas)to be used in the text
so it's a simple explode (split) the line's values from a line into an array and then echo or print the array => element =>"value" into an HTML format on a .php page.
echo $feedarray[1] . "<= second<br>\n"; //or 'b'

echo $feedarray[2] . "<= third<br>\n"; //or 'c'

First you have to find the right line

MySQL query will work; or,
preg_match in php might work
MySQL is more flexible and easier to find if (WHERE) and some text variables and (BETWEEN) price ranges.
