I realized that I often mention different sites I use, or places I frequent to learn more about how to make money online – and one of the places I mention alot is Earn1KaDay.  I also realized that while I talk about it alot, maybe I haven’t really given any of my readers an indication of what all is inside this exclusive membership site, not to mention the internet marketing training they will find once inside.

I have been online for over 5 years, and in those years, I have spent more money than I care to even think about on wasted products and programs that promised to give me the answers I needed.  And, that includes spending money on membership sites that just didn’t deliver what they said.

Well, the past few weeks have been a ride.  I have been feeling guilty for neglecting this blog in the madness of everything else I am trying to do – so the truth is, I actually posted the site for sale a couple of weeks ago.  It was a decision that was incredibly hard for me to do, because I have spent so much time building the site to this point.

But, I just felt I wasn’t giving it everything it deserved.  See, I was having a hard time knowing where to focus the site which led me to put off posting as a way to maybe avoid trying to decide where to go with it.

When I started this site, I had plans for it to be an “everything” site – including every possible way a mom could make money online.  And, for awhile, that was where it was going.

So – I have been a member of Bring the Fresh for a few months now and I have been busy putting all of the information they offer to work.  And, I have to say that I am starting to see results – slowly and steadily a couple of sites that I have put together with their strategies are moving up and hopefully soon, the income will increase.

I have to admit, there are some strategies that I wasn’t able to do to the extent that I would have liked.  Some of the things would have required a bit more money than I have available right now to automate – and the truth is, even though I have tried to the best of my ability to do everything I could on my own, there are just not enough hours in the day sometimes to do it all.

My overall impression of Bring the Fresh has been completely positive.  Kelly and Mike go above and beyond to help everyone – and the community that is inside the membership area is incredible.  I didn’t think it was possible to learn anything “truly” new in IM after being around for so long.  So often when you buy something it is rehashed material put into new words.

OK – so I have been diligently going through all of the material in the Bring the Fresh Full Disclosure area, and I have to tell you, I haven’t even got to the half way mark! Here is what I am finding so far:

There is ALOT of information in there. But – if I am going to be completely honest in my review, I have to admit that videos are not my favorite teaching method. I know that there are alot of people out there who believe that video adds value and they would rather watch a video than read about it.

These videos are great – don’t get me wrong. And they need videos for the method that they have chosen to teach. Everything is over the shoulder watching them do exactly step by step what they do every day. Which is great – but I also like to have a Cliff’s notes version to print off and use. After watching a few videos, it is easy for me to forget points that were taught in one of the earlier videos, or want to go back and clarify something, but I can’t remember which video it was in.

Well, I took a couple extra days longer than expected to post back.  But, I went ahead and signed up for the program I was talking about, and I have been spending alot of time going through just a small fraction of the material.  And, truth is – I got kind of focused on the material because it was…how would I describe it….kind of like that book you read that you can’t put down.  I got watching videos and reading stuff, and wanted to keep going.  I am nowhere near getting through everything, but I wanted to post back on what I have found so far.

OK – so I guess it is time to mention the name of the product.  It is called Bring the Fresh, and it has actually been around for almost a year now I think.  I remember when it came out and I thought – “great, another product put together by a couple of ‘guru’s’ who will charge an arm and a leg and forget about the little guy that is still struggling to see their first dollar online”.  The price is a bit higher – it is $97 for the initial membership.  It gets you access to over the shoulder videos and action steps to take in getting your sites ranked and bringing traffic to your websites.  (Which of course, is the absolutely most important part of online marketing.  You can have all the best offers, and fancy bells and whistles on your site – but if you don’t have traffic, what is the point?)

But, I went ahead and purchased the Full Disclosure membership.  It is going to cost me $67 a month for the next 6 months – and then I will have complete access for life.  I thought about waiting and going through all of the basic material first, but I decided to challenge myself.  I need to make the $67 to pay for the monthly membership strictly from what I learn in the Bring the Fresh training – so I need to make that before the next monthly payment goes out.  I thought that by challenging myself, I would put more out there.

OK – for those of you who read my blog regularly, you likely notice from time to time lately that the look changes.  Yes – it is supposed to be doing that, because I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to some things, so I have been trying new themes out to see how they look and feel.  So – don’t be alarmed if you come here one day and everything looks different than it did the last time!  I think I have settled on one design that I like, but feel free to leave a comment or let me know if you see one you really like, or even one that you really hate!

I am about to start reviewing a product that I am going to pick up today.  It is a higher priced product ($97), so I wanted to start going through it myself to let my readers see some honest feedback about how it works.  I have bought so many different products over the years, and some have taught me a little, some have taught me absolutely nothing but how to throw my money out the window.

New Case Study – Marketing Online

Well, I have now got a couple of sites up following the Amazon auto-updating plugin model.  While it is nowhere near enough time to really judge how things have worked out, and I really don’t have enough sites to really get an accurate picture – I do want to let you know my results so far.

As I had mentioned in a previous update – I had 2 orders within just a few days of finishing up the first site.  I have had a few clicks here and there since then.

Meanwhile, I had built another site – this one using keywords for my domain name, after doing some keyword research to choose my niche.  This site is taking a little longer to get the traffic to it, simply because it is new.   The first site was one I had for awhile, so it was already getting some traffic.

I have had 2 more orders yesterday on my first site – so in total, I have had 4 orders out of about 80 clicks.  And I think I should also mention – I have really done nothing to promote these sites yet.  I am going to do some social bookmarking and link building – but really, up until this time, I have done nothing.

I just wanted to do a quick post here today, as I am busy doing some more sites.  But, I had to come and let you know my results so far!

After just one day of having the Amazon plugin installed, and completely redoing my site…….I had 3 orders through Amazon!  I only had 6 clicks – but 3 of them ordered!

I was so surprised – and I know that it does help that I was already getting traffic to the site, but it still isn’t a large amount – averaging about 40 a day.

Because Amazon doesn’t show any amounts until the order is actually shipped (I believe), I didn’t see until today what I had even made.  It isn’t a huge winfall by any means – only $8 and some change – but seriously….if you can’t see the potential in this, then I don’t know what to say!

Get enough of these sites out there working like this every day, and you will start to see something building up that will continue to make you money every month.

While I have actually been doing Affiliate Marketing for awhile – I know that there is still a lot I need to learn, so I decided to do my own case study of a method that I am trying.  Basically, it consists of setting up niche blog sites – taking a lot of information from a man who has seen quite a bit of success with this model.  You can get access to a ton of free information and videos outlining every single detail of getting set up at www.supersimpleblogging.com

I already know how to set up a blog and had a pretty good idea of keyword research already, but I still picked up some very good tips that I didn’t know about.  I didn’t watch the videos about installing the WordPress blogs or anything like that, but for those of you who are just starting out, and who have no idea of how to do any of this stuff – trust me, there is no better resource out there.  He literally walks you through every single step.

Anyway – I am kind of adding some of my own twists to it, but for the most part, I will be doing things as outlined by him.
