  1. Great post Jennifer! I hope you feel better soon.

    I’m glad to see you recommending Commission Blueprint – I was looking at it the other week, & was tempted to buy, but I resisted, as I’m not quite ready to start PPC-ing yet. Glad to see my gut feeling about it was right though : )

    I joined Wealthy Affiliate recently btw – what an amazing site – wish I’d joined earlier!

  2. Just wanted to come back & add to my previous comment – I really appreciate how your information (your book & blog posts) gives such a clear plan to follow. I’m not totally new to IM, but had been floundering a bit, wondering what to focus on first. Now I know exactly what I’m doing each day & how it all fits together, & it’s much more fun.

    I’m aiming to hit the $100/day mark in about 6-8 months (or less), and $200/day by the end of next year, and actually feel confident that I can do it now.

  3. Hey Jen,
    This is an excellent post. So clear and concise. I think it is really imperative to have a plan. I think having faith the plan will work means a lot, so the fact you are using the same plan is important.

    It is so easy to get distracted by the “shiny things”. Geez, I have been doing this for a long time and every time I turn around I see myself doing something else, and have to veer back to the original plan again.

    I am going to take your mantra to heart. Next year, focus, one plan, one goal! If you do for a year . . .

    Thanks for everything.

    Jackie

    PS
    Hope you feel better soon. Sending you some virtual chicken soup.

  4. As someone who is quickly approaching the 200 dollar a day level I can vouch that Jennifer has the process spot on. I’ve used different tools and resources to get there, but that only serves to validate the method.

    I would like to mention that focus is especially important. It’s okay to be in a bunch of different verticals but unless you finish what you start, it will really slow your project. Several sites I own were launched in haste and I have had to spend hundreds of hours fixing them when if I had done it correctly from the beginning it would have probably only taken an extra day or so per site. The bright side to situations like that is that you don’t make the same mistakes again, just learn how to make new ones 🙂

    captain squids last blog post..Can Squidoo Make you $500 in one day? Yep.

  5. I want to warn anyone trying to make a living online they should be very careful how they take their payments.

    In August my site was mistakenly identified as a malicious site by Trend Micro, PC-Cillin and immediately blocked globally for no reason.

    I have since been cleared of any wrong doing by a formal investigation by Trend Micro. Long before that this happened:

    I was blocked by Gmail, Yahoo mail, Microsoft and in all Trend Micro (PC-Cillin) end user anti virus software.

    Two solutions:

    Call your site host and add a SSL certificate to your site. This is stop most browser warnings from Norton, AcAffee and Trend Micro. It is like $30 a year.

    Any payment software, IPN scripts, download protectors or any form that submits to a PayPal product page must use https in the form submission URL. PayPal buttons are fine, they use this.

    You can tell this problem is occuring if you have goal conversions set up in Google analytics. Check to see if you are selling any products to visitors using Internet Explorer 7.

    If you have some type of block in a database it will be possibly consumed by the IE 7 anti phishing filter database and you will have almost 0 sales occurring in Internet Explorer. At the same time you will have a way higher sales success rate in Firefox.

    That is the only thing that saved me was finding that FF had a 14% sales success rate and IE had a 0.26% rate.

    This is not guessing on my part. This is the findings of the Trend Micro investigation.

    Sudden drops in newsletter subscribe rates, abandoned payments, email click thru rates and sales in general are all indicative of this kind of blocking.

    The only reason I got a few emails delivered was that I was highly whitelisted in Gmail due to my Google social network friends list.

    Please tell anyone you know to look into this so that this does not happen to them. Tons more documentation is on both my sites.

    If I can help anyone do not hesitate to call me.

    Still alive and kicking,

  6. Wow, I’m really new to all this marketing jargon.
    It’s refreshing to here it all in a no nonsense sort of way that an average guy like me can understand. thanks for all the insight and free tips everyone else is trying to cash in on!

  7. Hi Jennifer,

    Thanks for the screen shot 🙂 ha ha… I always say, who cares about screen shot, if you are going to show me how to do it, but of course, people believe you more if you show a screen shot.

    The value of the time is so important. And I realized this just recently and I had a small talk with myself. 🙂 No more working over 40 hours a week. Find the niche, test it in 5 days, any profit great, work it, and if no profit find another niche! But move quickly!

  8. You have such interesting posts, I look forward to reading whatever you write. I get great entrepreneur ideas from you.

  9. just come on this site now was reading Chris Langs arctical and was wondering how to get a hold of him to ask questions

  10. Really great post, PPG! I am a relatively new member at WA, and have been doing the “learning” cycle as you recommend by going through all the resources there, but haven’t really started taking action yet. As you said, it can be a little overwhelming. But this post makes it much clearer, in such a succinct way. I like the realistic, down-to-earth tone about what to expect, how long it will take, etc. It is also motivating to know that if one just sticks to the plan and takes action, the results will come. Thanks for sharing all this with us (for free!). I believe there are some products for sale out there that wouldn’t give substantially more info than what you have given right here. Keep up the good work, and get better soon!

    Jennifer,

    I’ve been in business most of my life-started 2 successful businesses that ran for many years until i knew it was time to end them. I’ve been in sales(successfully) for over 20 years and right now it stinks. I’ve been searching for over a year and buying get rich quick systems to no avail. I now realize that I’ve had the wrong approach.

    I know that i have to find the right one and dedicate myself to it. I finally ended up at WA(less than a week) and feel more comfortable because of the tremendous support from the forum and wealth of information. One of the members told me to start reading your material. I’m very impressed.

    I’m overwhelmed with so much information and not sure what to do first. Because of my failed experiences in the internet world,I’m gun shy and very skeptical. i need to see a sale(hopefully more than 1) to show me that I’m heading in the right direction.

    I’m considering buying your book(thru the forum member) and I read your e-mail about the five steps.

    First-Can I realistically, with your book and WA(following their 8 week program), expect to make a sale in these first 8 weeks without investing any more money. I’m, of the philosophy now, that I want to see some results before I further invest (my skepticism).

    Can I learn to do Squidoo Lens myself without getting frustrated or should I buy the Squidoo Cash machine that you recommend?

    If I have your book,WA membership for 2 months(will extend if it is working) and the Squidoo Cash Machine, can I see some sales in the first 2 months to assure me that I’m on the right path.

    I’m not asking you to be a mind reader. I just want to know if these are enough tools to get started and achieve sales or am I leaving out the big component of driving traffic without a website?

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I just want honesty to determine if my efforts will be rewarded(assuming that I work hard) or are there other factors that I’m not considering?

    Thanks so much for your time. I’ve enjoyed reading about you and I look forward to reading your book.

  12. Jennifer…Just purchased your One Week Marketing about ah 1 week ago. I’m a Granny helping raise 2 grandkids, have a handicapped daughter living at home, husband out of work AND I own a small massage practice here in Ohio. That said, I’m going to take your OWM, devour it, DO IT, step-by-step, and prove it works! As Yoda said “Do – don’t do; there is no try”.
    Here’s hoping your sinus problems get better. I use all natural herbal stuff for things like htat…ever tried a “netty pot?”
    DO have a question…when you say you began a new OWM campaign and did 6 lenses, were they all for that 1 campaign??
    I’d love to ask LOTS of ?? but know this isn’t the platform to do that.
    Be Blessed!

  13. Well Jennifer,
    After clicking Commission Blue Print, i’m sold on PPC again. I didn’t buy it yet, but i’m sure i will. WA offers article mktg/ppc accreditation, how do you feel about those programs. I go back and forth between article mktg / ppc for my first step. After looking @ Instant Article Wizard / Pot Pie Girls, i thought maybe. I leaning back to ppc. I’m still couple weeks out from getting started. Should have better idea as to which way to go by then.Great Stuff. Thanks again.

    It is a great relief for people who are new in internet marketing/affiliate marketing as well as those who do not know where to start to have Ms Potpiegirl and this website of information.

    I would advice online income seekers and other newbies in this internet/affiliate to make it a habit to visit Potpiegirl.com as you can find a ton of informations that you need to get you going.

    I have been a fan of hers because of her generosity in giving out very valuable informations.

    I am about to buy her ONE WEEK MARKETING PLAN right at this moment and will follow what I found here in this webpage of hers.

    GOD BLESS!

  20. Thank you for providing such helpful information…please keep it up! This is excellent “keep moving” inspiration & support! Incredibly valuable info for people like me who has the idea.

  21. Deborah Hezlewood says:

    As usual, great reading material. I just love the way you write, so easy to understand for us Newbies. I have just bought One Week Marketing and am currently going thru A Conversation with Nick and can’t wait to get started. I have one initial question, I keep hearing about Wealthy Affiliate, how does this tie in with OWM?

  22. Mind blowing Articles. I am not an avid reader nor a good writer but your articles kept my eyes glued. I have joined WA Let me first earn money to again invest i am already spending $100 a month getting almost nothing in return . I am using the search engines to promote my affiliate websites both under SFI,GDI,Acme-People-Search &WA. I have made up my mind to succeed. I really want to reduce on my expense and earn money. Let me plan my work using your strategies and then see the outcome.Once I really make $50 a day I will invest on your book to get to do better. Thanks for the guidance

  23. Terry Sahlin says:

    potpiegirl, awesome post! I feel really good about your advice that you give. As you know, there are so many scams out there (and i got suckered into a bunch of them) that I can finally breath a little easier since I found wealthy affiliate, affiliate niche club and you. I know it’s going to take a little time and that’s fine as long as I know I’m getting the correct info. I’ve got to go but i did get one week marketing and started it tonight but I plan on jumping in head first in the morning. Again, thanks for being there and I’ll see you at the top.Terry Moe Sahlin

  25. This is the first time I’ve read this blog. Very impressive. Potpoegirl, you are a real go-getter. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing , I’m heading over to Wealthy Affiliate right now.

  26. What’s your take on HubPages? I’m not sure I understand the current drama with Squidoo. I tend to not want to publish articles that aren’t monetized, what do you think of ezinearticles etc?

  27. Hi PPG,
    I’ve been trying to make a go of it with internet marketing for about 3 years now, (you’d think I would have given up by now huh) and been ripped off royally.
    I lucked onto your site by accident and am very glad I did. I love what i’ve seen so far. Been reading these posts and think they are great. Read your 5 steps all the while going uhuhuh. Great stuff.
    Am about to head over to WA to sign up as soon as I submit this.
    Wish me luck. I look forward to sending you some posts about some success soon.

  28. Hi Jennifer, I hope u get well soon, I think your web pages are awsome & so informative, If i get half as good as you. I will be more than happy.

  30. Hi Jennifer! I hear you’re not feeling well. Last winter I caught the flu and after taking extra strength Cold FX (American Ginseng), it only lasted 2 days! You might want to give it a try. Here in Toronto, Canada it’s often available at Pharmacies. Maybe where you are, too.

    All the best,

    Richard

  32. Jennifer
    Do you ever use usfreeads.com for marketing? Does anyone here use them and have had any success?

    Thanks for input

  33. Hi Jennifer,

    I am brand new to Squidoo.I just started working on my first Squidoo Lens over the weekend. While looking at a bunch of lens to get a feel for Squidoo, I came across you. After reading about a dozen books on SEO, countless hours looking at other web sites and articles, you have quickly become of my favorite sources of info. I just wanted you to know, I appreciate your help, and I am now one of your many fans.

    Thank you,
    Mark
