On the surface this should work

You can't really make long term projections off of one conversion. You got one conversion. Great! It shows potential, now take action and see how it plays out.

Your right and in theory everything looks great.
I always say don't keep all your eggs in one basket.
See that one trick could go by the wayside tomorrow if one site changes there rules.
One person could steal your content make there's better and out rank you.

Nothing is stopping you from doing it though, So do it and make some money from it.

If your one action relies on using someone else's site, what would you do if you quit your day job tomorrow and that site blocked you or your action the next day?

Don't count on what isn't there yet until it's arrived. Sometimes, plans get messed up.

But definitely keep doing what you're doing! Email marketing like you mentioned can increase your front end sales and give you a backend traffic source so you don't have to rely on sending traffic in the future.

That will be far better, indeed.

For two compelling reasons: first, very few buy at their first visit to a CB sales page and opting them in is effectively a way to keep them returning to it, making far more sales; secondly a lot of the potential money from being a CB affiliate comes in the form of repeated sales to the same people (as long as your recommendations never let them down). I appreciate that you know all of this already.

Every time I've split-tested it, myself, I've found that what's even better than that is to build a smaller, higher-quality, more responsive list without using a squeeze page at all. But that does mean having a "proper little website", which is slightly more labor-intensive. Only slightly - because you can put on it plenty of what you'd send out by email anyway. And it has some other advantages, too.

Sure - in principle. As long as you can find enough suitable niches/products and clear every hurdle and don't go too wrong anywhere.

Well, I think it tends not to work out that way ... not quickly, anyway.

Not reliably, without a much longer and more detailed conversation, no.

But if you're asking whether it's possible to scale up a fairly simple "CB affiliate system" and produce that kind of income level, clearly it is, and actually (as CB will sometimes confirm, pretty openly, depending on who you're chatting to there) more people are doing that than many people here expect/imagine.

I don't know ... you tell me? Because the majority of people who try to do this don't ever manage it? Because you have family commitments (and quite a few of them by the sound of it?!) and need complete security of income, and should be earning more than your salary for a minimum of each of 6 consecutive months before thinking about that? Because it might not work out for a combination of unpredicted and unpredictable reasons? (I never had this problem, because I've never had a "job" in the first place, so I had nothing to lose, and I strongly suspect that that makes it a lot easier?! ).

Can you more-than-replace your day-job income by being a CB affiliate? Yes, probably, unless you're a successful trader with Goldman Sachs, or something. Will you? We don't know. But I'll be wishing you good luck in trying.

Hi Victor, thanks for your contribution to the keeping me grounded voice on my left shoulder. So far the one on my right shoulder is losing big time. hehe

No way to make any meaningful comments about your logic without knowing exactly what your "method" is. Care to elaborate on it?

Me personally, I would want to test the method for several months in a row, and be 100% confident that the "method" would be sustainable over the long run, before I even thought about quitting a good day job.

And even then, I wouldn't want to rely only on that one method for all of my income. Things can change fast online, so it's best to always have multiple (different) sources of online income coming in. That way, if one "method" stops working, you have others to fall back on.

Yes if you could tell me your idea step by step I could get a better sense of it. Come on trust me I won't steal it. Honestly I won't.

As always Alexa, you are the best.

You have taught me well that a squeeze page is not the way to go. I used the term incorrectly to, describe getting visitors on a list rather than using direct linking.

I'm also aware that the method of traffic generation I should be using is to assemble a network of blogs and websites that are hungry for my content that I feed them regularly which contains links back to my site so that I am not reliant on google or anyone elses site for traffic. This quick and dirty stuff is just so irresistible.

Yes that darn income and responsibility thing. More words for the voice on my left shoulder, heavy sigh.

Just stop thinking about it, stop deliberating about it, stop writing about it.

Like someone once said

'If you only think about asking that pretty blonde out who is stood at the bar, then one thing is for certain; she will never go out with you'

Just go and scale up and go do it, and come back in a months time and let us know how it went.

Good luck!
