$100,000 Target in our spare time - achieved
Hi Everyone,
Told you it was an exciting week!
After a few months in the trenches really focusing on our affiliate sites we have now hit a monthly income to reach the $100K a year mark – all done in our very spare time.!
It’s now time to come up for air, take stock and reflect on things here on the blog which has been neglected for a few months.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but 100,000 article views and reaching the monthly target to hit $100,000 does have a nice ring about it 
Here’s a screenshot of the last 30 days from our main paypal account.
That’s nearly $7K and does not include affiliate income that gets get paid directly into the bank from other affiliate programs.
The goods news is that our income has increased month on month and we are on target to surpass our $15k per month by next March. And if you’re wondering, this is all affiliate income from our niche sites using free or very cheap SEO strategies.
It’s amazing, to think only a few years ago we didn’t know what an affiliate was and html was a foreign language!
After a year messing around wondering if you can really make money of the internet, we knuckled down and soaked up as much info as possible, and then took direct action on what we had learned – working a few evenings per week. Don’t get me wrong, we have made many mistakes and failed trying numerous money making methods but each time we have gained valuable experience and knowledge.
Failing towards success has probably been the best way for us to learn!
However we are not resting on our laurels - This is just the beginning of the next phase…
We will continue to refine our systems and processes so that we can outsource the majority of the tasks then rinse and repeat what works!! We don’t want to be working in our business, we want to work on our business.
We still have a lot of testing to complete. We rarely build niche lists! I know, I know – the money is in the list! Well we have done ok so far without one, but JJ will be testing a number of list strategies with one or two of our sites over the next year and we will report back on our progress.
We also want to tighten up on our analytics and tracking, so this will be another priority to increase the bottom line and extract maximum $s for minimum efforts. We then may be able to persuade our wives to let us give up our corporate jobs
And we will also make a commitment to you. To keep you updated via the blog and our list (which we will begin to build ) of our progress and share with you the methods that we are using.
In the short term, probably the best advice we can give you is to try and match your skills with a system, take action and test a method or two. Learn what works for you. If you can afford it or when you build up some funds, buy a system or get some coaching and take more targeted action and learn from others mistakes.
The biggest influences so far in making us a success are:
Chris Rempel – The lazy super affiliate – his direct language, simplistic overview and insight to affiliate marketing was excellent which complimented our own ideas. he has since brought out numerous products but the two that we liked best was the original super lazy affilaite and VIP confessions series containing the conduit method.
Niche Ninja Nick Madison – his grasp of tools, software, structure, how to manage a network of websites and experience if amazing and we had the pleasure of spending a weekend with him and a select few.
Alex Jeffreys – Alex has an infectious manner, his enthusiasm and commitment to his coaching members is unmatched. He helped us with setting up goals, business structure, mindset, and is a master of relationship building (which we will be putting to the test).
To also help you we will hopefully be shooting some video’s over the next few months that illustrates our complete niche marketing process and we would love hear your thoughts on this or any questions you have.
To your success

JB & JM,
A very encouraging post…congratulations on your $7K per month which I am sure is more now. I’m sure you are happy. It shows what can be done when you roll up your sleeves and go to work…and without a mailing list…amazing.
