Hey Adam,

Always nice to hear from you.

I like PTC Box. I didn’t jump on it right away and start promoting because I promised someone I’d join under them. He took a couple days to send me the link so I missed out on promoting early. Anyways, I’ve made $19.00 and have 31 first level and 41 second level.

The site runs very smooth and I love the custom upgrade option! You know me, I don’t join much but this one was anticipated and after the first month I’m very happy with it. Especially the $2.00 paypal cashouts; payouts are not instant but always in my account within a few hours.

Good to hear from you. I’ve been reading your bike riding adventures on facebook.

Have been considering joining this site and am wondering what your thoughts are on it not that you have been using it for awhile. If you don’t mind me asking how much have you earned so far and with how many referrals.

Regards
Adam

Hi Mursalin,

First off, sorry about the late reply.

I noticed that you added a blog subscribe form via “feedburner”. Glad you figured that part out. I started with feedburner myself and it’s easy to use and Free! Although, I ran into problems a couple years into using it and received zero customer support. Since it’s owned by google, this can be expected unless your a heavy hitter. I eventually switched to Aweber; which is not free, but the customer service is exceptional. Aweber takes some learning but well worth it. In the meantime… Feed Burner is very effective!

I like the fact that you show payment proofs on your blog. I dislike the over use of banners and graphics. This is something I was guilty of when I first started. Eventually you’ll want to be more personal in your writings. Your subscribers will keep reading your ramblings when they can connect with you. They don’t always have to agree with you, but at least they know your a real person.

As far as promoting your blog. As long as you don’t have adsense on it, the skies the limit. Just think of the very ads you click on every day and your target audience. Eventually create a splash page promoting your blog, or as the experts agree; a squeeze page encouraging subscriptions. I need to update my squeeze page, but with Aweber when someone subscribes they are then taken to my blog ( or any page I choose ). Once again, a bit of learning is involved. Stick with Aweber for now since it’s free and it works.

Keep it up, your doing fine.

What do you think of my blog?
Could you give me advices how and where to promote it?
Do I need to tweak the blog since it loaded heavily (lots of banners and javascripts??)
Which section of my blog sidebar I need to get rid off?

Sorry for asking too many questions.
Gonna subscribe to your future blog updates.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the comment. Although your question about getting direct referrals is a loaded one. Getting referrals for your programs is all about getting your links out there. Whether it’s direct advertising on other paid to clicks or building your subscriber list for your blog or autoresponder. The bottom line is “if no one see’s your referral links in any form, then your not going to get any direct referrals”.

Personally, I spent way too much money years ago on advertising. Sure I picked up tons of referrals but what I made and am making does not match what I spent. So always spend within your budget but still get your links out there.

The last year or so I’ve been mainly focused on promoting my blog. I build my subscriber list and as long as I keep writing new content ( not necessarily promoting the next big thing ) my subscribers keep reading and choose whether to continue reading, or join what I’m promoting.

Although I encourage writing a blog and building a list of subscribers. One of my favorite places to advertise for referrals is ClixSense. I just encourage you to earn the money you make online for advertising. Or at least set a comfortable budget that you can afford to lose. Work slowly and learn as you go.

Also don’t forget about banner advertising. It works well for the patient and persistent.

Once again, loaded question and I could go on and on. Bottom line is to get your ref links out there and see who bites.

Thanks again for the comment and take care.

Phil
