This is an update to my post, Can I Make $7500 in 1 Month with CX Digital?

I’m not sure how long they will continue with this bonus but when new CX Digital affiliates reach $7,500 in revenue within their first 30 days, they will receive a $750 bonus (you must notify them if you reach this goal).

It has now been almost 8 days since I joined CX Digital (May 2nd through May 9th) and I’m happy to report that I have earned $3,032.00 in revenue. I needed to average at least $250 a day to reach the $7,500 goal. For the first 8 days I am averaging $379 in revenue per day.

A big THANKS to my CX Digital affiliate manager, Nate, who has given me a couple nice pay bumps on two offers already.

Lesson of the Day:

If you think you might be sending decent volume on an offer don’t be afraid to ASK for a commission increase!

Most affiliate network managers will do what they can to meet your request. They have too many other competitors and many of them offer the same or similar offers. Just make sure your request is reasonable. In my case, I thought I was doing decent volume and simply asked for a paybump that matched what I was getting from another network. I will continue to scale. A dollar or two increase on a campaign can make a huge difference in your profitability. Consider if you are doing 100 leads a day but just breaking even. A $1.50 paybump and your instantly making a $150 dollars a day profit ($4,500 a month). We are talking about common sense. My point is that if you are just breaking even on a campaign, don’t give up on it too fast. Continue to scale and then ask your affiliate manager to consider a pay bump on the offer!

<< Note to Nate: I talked to you briefly on the phone the same day I was approved into the network. Having had applied to a couple other affiliate networks that same day I was a little confused as to who you were when you called. I thought you were just calling to improve me into another network and didn’t realize you were just calling to see if I needed anything. I had been approved into CX Digital earlier in the day but at the time I was thinking “IncentaClick” and forgot CX Digital was the same. >>

Here is a screenshot of my first 8 days with CX Digital:

Yesterday I signed up with CX Digital Media (a.k.a. IncentaClick) in addition to three other new affiliate networks which I’ll mention later. I think I get checks from at least 10 different affiliate networks every month now and I’d like to narrow down my “affiliate networks of choice” down to five or less. There are a couple networks I’d prefer not to be working with but they happen to have a couple exclusives that are doing really well for me.

I’ll do a full review of the CX Digital affiliate network later but so far I’m impress with what I have seen.

CX Digital is offering new affiliates a $750 bonus if they can earn at least $7,500 in their first 30 days with the network. That’s what I plan to do. I was approved yesterday evening so I’ll count today as my first day!

If they had all the offers I am currently running with other networks, $7,500 in revenue would be a breeze. For example, I’m doing $7,000 to $10,000 in monthly revenue with Linkshare from one offer but CX Digital does not have that offer. Keep in mind that the CX Digital bonus is for revenue generated and has nothing to do with your profit.

It’s about 12:35 U.S. Eastern time here so there is a lot of time left in the day. So far, I’m up to $87.00 in revenue. However I am going to have to average $250 or more a day in revenue to reach my $7,500+ in revenue goal with CX Digital.

Do you think I can make $7500 revenue in my first month with CX Digital and get the $750 bonus?

We will find out in 30 days! I’ll give you updates every few days (with screenshots) and let you know how I’m doing.

You might be wondering just what the title of the post means. No, they are not having some kind of feud. No, it is not a battle of which of these super affiliate is making the most money online. It’s……drum roll please……

The Battle Of the 125×125 Banner Ads, UBER vs VOLK!

So your probably thinking that this “case study” is not really that fair. You’re kind of right because Uber Affiliate (aka Paul Bourque) is sitting at a 3340 RSS readers according to his feedburner. Jonathan Volk is sitting at 972 RSS readers. However, I decided to go on an advertising spree and those are the first two blogs I decided to start with. I have some additional banner ad battles planned.

I purchased a 125×125 banner spot on Uber Affiliate for $100 (30 days). Given Paul’s RSS and how fast his blog is growing, that’s a really good deal IMO. I’m really glad I’m locked into that price for life and there will never be any price increases! Right Paul? I happy with landing a 30 day spot on Jonathan Volk for just $40 as well.

Some of my favorite case studies in the past were those where I would advertise in various places and then share the results. I’ll let you know after 30 days how much traffic Uber Affiliate and Jonathan Volk sent to eMonetized! Of course they could always thank their sponsors in a post or something which would count towards the total (hint, hint)

Now I’m not usually one to do too much butt kissing (well, except for my I Love John Chow Ads) but Uber Affiliate and Jonathan Volk are two blogs you need to be reading. Quite frankly, they will make you more money. If I had to keep just three blogs in my reader they would be two of them (I have to throw in CDF as the third I think).

I was just thinking that every time I advertise anywhere, I link and chat about them. Maybe I should be asking for a discount first? (kidding)

Random Updates:

RINGTONES: In my last post about my ringtones marketing project I wrote that after 8 days I had made $1544 in commissions but basically ended up breaking even on the campaign at that point. Since then I have had lot of things going on and I have not had a whole lot of time to scale this campaign. However, I have done a lot of bid tweaking and just recently started another round of content network campaigns.

This month I’ll only make a couple hundred dollars in profit. Seems hardly worth it. However, I expect to make anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 profit with ringtones next month. Now a $1,000 monthly profit probably sounds like peanuts to some of you. There are those “super duper” affiliates making $1,000s in profits daily. But anytime I can add a few hundred or even thousand dollars to my monthly income, I’m certainly not going to complain. Especially given that I really have not spent a huge amount of time working on the campaign.

Like mentioned before I think I’ve figured out exactly what some of these guys are doing to make these huge earnings and I have no doubt I’ve ran into some of their landing pages (”YES”, I like “CLUBS.” You guys “ROCKED IT.” hints to site owners). I can’t seem to get the impressions I need yet at a reasonable CPC. I’m hoping it’s just taking a long time for some of these new content network campaigns to propagate to some of the website I want to get on.

I didn’t enter the ringtones market because I knew I’d be making thousands in profits my first month. There was a thread on Digital Point (maybe from Paul of UberAffiliate?) that sort of inspired me to enter the market. I saw it as a fun challenge and no matter what my long term success is with ringtones, the learning experience was worthwhile.

I will be sharing many more specifics on what seemed to work or not work for myself but it’s still too early to share those results. Meanwhile I’ve also had several new landing pages designed and am entering four new markets including foreclosures, and dental plans.

WEBMASTER-TALK.COM CONTEST: The WT $25,000 merge contest is about half way over. It’s still not too late to become one of the 5 winners. The top two referrers have 24 and 13 referrals respectively. I have no doubt that a lot of you could easily get into a referrers lead. Or you could just work hard writing some articles and making quality posts.

SHITTY BRAKE SERVICES: ignore this ->> At the time of this post, eMonetized is now ranked #10 for JustBrakes and JustBrakes.com

TWITTER: I just started using Twitter and so far I find it more fun than blogging! There are so many times I just have a deep thought (kidding) but I don’t have time to write it down. Sometimes these “deep thoughts” are also too short or too irrelevant to make a full blog post about it here. Twitter solves that problem. Follow Tim Schroeder on Twitter here.

P.S. >> DON’T FORGET TO SUBCRIBE TO MY FEED!

I just started using Twitter. It’s actually kind of fun so far! It also looks like a quick and easy way to keep in touch.
