Can I make $1,000 per month? Let's find out! (My Day-By-Day Journal)

You heard it right! My current goal is to make at least $1,000 per month!

I will, hopefully and God willing, update this thread daily with what I am currently doing to try to reach my financial goal.

Follow me on my journey as I begin!

Let's get started...

The Journey Begins! Today is: 10/3/2011

I found the idea for flyer marketing on multiple sites/guides so I decided that only action could help decide if this would work in my favor or not.

I created a simple ad advertising a CPA offer for teeth whitening. It is a simple flyer with a big image of someone associated with the product and big bold text. It also has tabs.

Since I am currently a college student, I figured, "Hey! What better place to advertise then my campus?!" I, myself, check the bulletin boards relatively often and see others doing the same. I did a quick bit of research on my campuses website to see their flyer/advertising rules, regulations, and information. They said I can only create 3 flyers or I would be charged $10 for flyers that are not posted in the allowable locations and are above the allowable maximum of 3.

I didn't want to get in any trouble so I only printed 3. I also figured that since I printed 3 flyers, each with 8 tabs and each flyer having a link to the website on it, that would be approx. equivalent to at least 3X8=24 interested people seeing my flyer as well as the passerbys. But that is at best of course.

I'm going to try to put the flyers up tomorrow... One on each floor of my campus. I'll, God willing, tell you all how it went! I hope it goes well!

~To an exciting journey!

UPDATE: Thanks to a great idea, I will be updating from now on within my blog here: WarriorForum - Internet Marketing Forums - perfectlovehere

I will post here when I update there so you can take a look!

    • Thank you I appreciate it! I'm definitely excited to see how it goes!

      I forgot to mention that I also put my signature for the cpa offer here and that seems to already be getting clicks.

      No sales yet but I'm excited to see what could possibly happen!

      Tomorrow's the big day!
  • How did you come up with the niche of teeth whitening? Heck... i think you should email me one of those flyers so i can take advantage of it Lol...

  • Could you describe your college campus some more? How many students? Region in the country etc.

    I'm on a college campus and thinking of doing something similar as well. I will be keeping track of this!

    • Here's the flyer I used. I blurred out a bit of "personal-ish" info and the name/image of the celebrity.



      Eastern campus with about 30,000 students. (Found that statistic on a website so not sure how accurate or not it is.) They have designated places to post flyers. I wouldn't recommend posting flyers up in places your campus doesn't allow. Make sure you figure that out first so you don't run the risk of paying a fine and/or getting in trouble.

  • I would like to make a suggestion before you get to deep into this. The Day-By-Day thing doesn't work very well in a Forum setting. My suggestion would be to use your WF Blog to keep the information together, and use a thread as the discussion of your WF Blog. Yes, it puts the information in two places, but it's easier in the end than digging through possible hundreds of posts over the next 30 days.

  • Just a comment but you can sell these same type of flyers to local businesses and make that $1000/mn easily.

    99% of flyers out there do not contain even the simplest marketing elements (headline, offer, call to action, scarcity) and you will seem like a magician to local businesses when you can whip out an effective flyer for them for $99 each. I can easily do 10 in a month at that cost.

    • Thank you very much for the advice! If I ever consider advertising within the UK I may look into that more. Since I am currently mostly doing offline marketing students within the USA will probably be my main prospects for the time being. And thanks for the good luck wishes!

      [quote=danielkanuck;4808939]No problem at all! Hope it helps you!

      Hmm... This is new to me... How does it work? And thanks for the tip!

  • Sure you can!

    A couple things:
    1. Affiliate offers aren't allowed in signatures - probably a good idea to take that teeth whitening thing out before you get nabbed on it.

    2. Are you only using flyers to promote this? You're going to need more than three flyers to make $1000 a month.

    If you assume a 3% conversion (randomly pulled out of thin air), and a $25 CPA payout (again, huge assumption), you'd need 40 people to sign up (or 1333 people to look at your offer). If each of your flyers has 8 tabs you're gonna need 167 flyers to have all of their tabs pulled monthly..

    You may want to think about creating some small 4-up (4 per page on an 8.5X11 sheet) flyers and see about passing them out in your classes before hand. I think there's a thread somewhere in here about doing that.

    Another factor you're going to have to consider is that to make yourself $1000, you're actually going to need to make closer to $1200 in revenue, so the numbers I used earlier will go up a little maybe.

    Either way, I say congrats on going for it! You're already way ahead of the curve in that you've gone out there and DONE something. Good job!

    • Thanks for the great advice! I've removed the affiliate link so hopefully there won't be any issues. I appreciate that!

      Do you know where the thread is about passing out flyers after classes? I would definitely be interested in checking that out. Thanks!

      Also, do you guys have any suggestions on other cpa offers or clickbank offers that may convert well for college students? Advice is always appreciated!

      Thanks guys!
  • $3000 = 4 conversions per day x 30 days at a $25 payoout... Hmmm.

    Doesnt seem impossible to make 1k per month at that pay out rate , if that is the case. As stated; "huge assumption".

    Have you thought of setting up a kiosk at a mall?

    Why not pay people $1.00 cash for filling out a form?

    I have often thought that a person could sit at a mall all day long and have people filling out forms at a kiosk that way...or if they offer some loss leader.

    In the modeling industry this (what we call Offline CPA) is called "promotional work".

    • That would be very unlikely to work... Especially with CPA offers because they track the IP address used to fill out the offers (usually) and if it all comes from the same IP they may think something is fishy and ban your account which may result in all earnings becoming forfeit. Good idea in theory, though.

  • What an interesting concept to make money by passing out affiliate flyers. I know it will be a lot harder than you think buy once all the hard work is finished you will have a residual income that will last for quite some time.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Also, here one thread about putting the flyers on the desks.. although not the one I remember. I think that one might have been deleted and turned into a WSO.

    • Uh... how did you go from knowing very little about internet marketing to being in a position to train people... all in 4 days?

      I don't know about that.

  • Would college loan pay per lead offers not do better? Or one directed to overcoming hangovers? (Though I think hangovers is a perfect prize to pay for binging)
  • Hmm how come when i go to kimsteeth.info it redirects to the offer right away? How can i do that instead of putting a banner on my site?
