This post is about a technique to make $100 per day online.

With economic times being tough across the world there are lots of people looking for a way to make some extra money.

$US100 per day may not sound much, but when you multiply it by 365 days you get about $US36,000.

Better still once you know how to make $100 per day you have to tools to grow it into much more – $1000/day anyone ?

This post started when I saw an interesting post in DP headed up First $100 Day ($117 actually). So being a sucker for this type of title, I looked through the thread to see how the author had been able to do it.

It turns out Jose Armando has been working away for a year in his quest to reach the magic $100/day. Over that time he an his brother have been steadily growing their home business in between attending lectures at college.

There’s a telling quote in the thread ……”I remember writing dozens of articles and not getting a single sale for months.. man was that tough.”

Which reveals a secret to his success. Take a simple system, follow it to the letter and never give-up.

While Jose does not reveal his exact methods it seems he has been using article and pay per click advertising (Adwords etc) promotion as the means to generate traffic to a site with affiliate links. About 40% sales come from Article Marketing and the balance from PPC.

From earlier posts he started out doing article marketing exclusively. In an earlier thread he wrote:

I have to say…. Newbies, keep writing the articles and keep testing different niches.

If I had to say WHY this experiment failed it was because I was in a too saturated niche…

Find a small niche with a product that has 10-30 gravity and do your article marketing there. Don’t go in “make money”, “weight loss” etc niches. It’s just too crowded for someone who just wants to start with this.

Also, if you REALLY want to be successful with bum marketing then make real goals and stick to them for any cost.

Make a goal to write two articles per day for 50 days.. What’s two articles per day? It’s nothing… it’s just 30 minutes… Are you willing to put 30 minutes per day in your dreams, in your goals?
If you just do the 2 articles per day you’ll have 100 articles in less then two months… That’s A LOT of articles. Imagine the traffic you’ll be pulling and the sales you’ll be making.

And once you commit don’t skip a single day.. Don’t let yourself fail yet again. Be consistent – it’s the key to success.

As you’ll start writing articles do 20 articles per niche… If you don’t make a sale after 20 articles then this means you need to find a new niche and start again. Do this over and over again and I guarantee you’ll make a lot of sales in just a few weeks/months.

Recently some more good advice:

Actually I get about 40% sales from article marketing and 60% from PPC. And I want to get to 90%+ sales from PPC in near future.

See, I’m only writing articles for my own product because I think it’s worth to invest time in my own business and have it grow in terms of SEO rankings.

For affiliate products I’m using Adwords and YSM.. Right now I’m just direct linking to affiliate products and it’s converting really well. Most of them have 1:20 or 1:30 conversions so I’m making profits even at $0.3+ CPC.

So how I get products to convert with direct linking?

I pick a product on marketplace, make a subdomain for redirect of my hoplink. Take first 30 keywords for that niche from Adwords Keyword Tool, copy ads from other niches and make them fit my niche. And press ACTIVATE.

Once I find something that consistently converts I’ll buy a .com domain for it and do a split test with:
1. direct linking and what are my profits there
2. review page and what are my profits with it

After about a week I’ll have a pretty good idea which one makes me more money and I’ll just port my campaign to AdWords and pull traffic from there too since I’ll already know that the product converts.

I’ll have yet another product locked down in passive income mode.

Then all you need to do is to do the process again for another product…”

Jose makes reference to “Bum Marketing” a method of making money which costs nothing to start.  In essence you just:

  • Find a product to promote – say from clickbank
  • Setup a free webpage to promote it from – could be a free blog at blogger.com
  • Write lots of articles and submit them to the top rated article sites. (All the articles need to unique)
  • Keep writing articles and  adding new products
  • Over time you will get sales, some products will be real winners (you keep promoting these) and the rest you can discard or onsell the site.

A great thread if your looking for a bit of inspiration or to find a proven and successful way to starting out:

The secrets to Jose’s success? Well, these seem to be the key  ingredients:

  • A system that works
  • He worked with his brother. Its a bit like running or going to the gym, if you do it with someone else you will help keep each other motivated
  • He had mentors. When he wrote back in March in the DP forum lots of people offered advice and assistance.
  • Persistence, persistence , persistence. Jose just kept going and the results came in.
