My Passive Sale and the UnderAchiever Challenge …

A few weeks back I decided to try something other than just cranking out ‘one more’ niche portal. I decided to learn and experiment with building lists and promoting to them. So with that in mind, I enrolled as an affiliate for a new product that was on the brink of a huge online launch. I slapped up a grabber page for the same and started advertising on yahoo/overture … and did something which I never intended to do … forgot about it !!!

Well, turns out that I made a sale yesterday … A completely passive sale … with no promotion and no efforts ! It netted me a cool $60. I quickly logged on to my overture account and found that the online spend for showcasing my ads has been so far just 16$ ! That’s a wonderful ROI if you ask me !

Lesson Learnt : Concentrate on building passive lead generating websites and not just niche portals which rely on contextual advertising. Diversify !!

Will hopefully be doing more tests and share it here !

For any of you who would like to check out the grabber page I have been using its here - Grabber Page - its been converting really well for me at just over 18%. I guess, I can improve on that !

All these has compelled me to join the UnderAcheiver Thirty Day Challenge - 2 by Ed Dale and Frank Kern. I missed out last year, but this year I am goin’ to get along with them and make that 1$ !! For any of you guys, wanting to start out online, this is a must attend event .. and what’s more it completely FREE !!

Basically, the 30-Day Challenge is a unique opportunity to learn how to create and market a niche information product business on the internet. The Challenge lasts for 1 month and will start on the 1st of July 2006.

Head over to UnderAchiever Challenge and get registered .. I’ll see you on the inside.
