Gifting e-Book

I have decided to use one of my strong points (as I've been told anyway) and write an ebook about gifting. It is a great way to promote my gifting site. I'll either give it away...everyone likes free info, or sell if for a small amount (helps cushion the other marketing costs) and see what it does. I've already started it and it is shaping up to be pretty good I think.

The first chapter is called "7 Things I Love About Gifting Programs"!!!!

Pick up this weekend's USA Today!!!

Well, its officially a "done deal" my sponser and I have a 4 line ad running in USA Today From Friday through Sunday!!! I'm really psyched about this!!! This is a HUGE paper and we even get a free week of our ad posted on the USA Today online site!!!

I can't wait to see what kind of results we get!!! We have split the traffic up 5 ways. 2 of 5 visitors get my gifting site, 3 of 5 get one of his sites (obviously he paid more than I did).


Its all very Exciting!!!!

My Solo Ad - part deux

So just as a quick update as to what is going on, It appears the main bulk of my results from the Solo ad is 22 Opt ins!!!

I see this as a major accomplishment since my mentor told me to expect about 15 total. You get most of your results from the solo ad in the first 3 days...and then a few more opt ins my trickle in over the next week or so.


So I'd say its pretty good news. There are no new joins as of yet, but as I said in my last post, it takes time.


What is the next project on the horizon? My mentor and I are spliting the cost of a 4 line ad in USA Today for the weekend addition (is sold for 3 days instead of just 1, so more BANG for your buck!)
I am going to order the ad tomorrow and it should run this weekend, which is REALLY exciting!!!

Have a Great Week!!

My Solo Ad...

Well, so far it seem like solo ads are a good value for your ROI. My ad has been active for just over 3 hours and I have 14 new opt ins on my gifting page from the ad!!!

What a great start!
Now one thing to remember is that the process takes time. People generally won't sign up "right away" Some will join in a few days or even a few weeks....But cash gifting is a game of numbers. Just keep sending people to your site, and you will make money....its the law of averages.

Have a Great Weekend!!!!

Joint Venture...

Today I just solidified a deal with my friend (and sponsor) to split the cost of an advertising campaign for our gifting sites. We are buying an ad in USA Today!

I'm really excited about this!! And its not as expensive as you might think. The total cost is $240 to run an ad and you get 4 lines of text....This could be real interesting if we play our cards right!

You might be wondering how we be sure that the traffic from the ad will be split evenly...
Easy. We are going to print 1 URL in the ad that we will add a link rotator to. This guarantees that each of us will get the same amount of traffic from the ad, its all automatic.

If you are interested in cash gifting programs but have some questions about them, feel free sign up for my FREE 7 day report...It is for informational purposes only and is free of SPAM and viruses (and all of that other bad stuff).

Low Key day...

As I wait for my first solo ad to run, things are pretty low key. I'm posting 10-15 free ads per day and seeing some opt ins and a few call back requests. Cash Gifting, just like most other programs is a game of numbers, as long as I keep getting leads in to my site, the numbers will make money in the long term. Although I must say I'm really excited to see what happens on Friday when my solo ad runs...

Got my fingers crossed as I keep getting the word out!

Solo Ads

OK, So, As I stated in a post earlier this week, I had received my first Cash Gift!!! With a little help from a more experienced friend, I have decided to place a Solo ad.

In case you don't already know, a Solo Ad is just what it sounds like. This type of ad is actually a solo mailing sent to the list of subscribers of the ezine. In other words, they go out on their own. When you buy a solo ad, your ad with your subject line is the only thing the reader sees. So basically you are renting a mailing list.

Solo ads (I've heard) are a very good way to promote Gifting Programs, and they are relatively reasonably priced. I am using a very competitive site and as a paying member ($10/mo) I get solo ads for $65 or less (I actually bought 2 at once for $115). This gets your email ad in front of about 27K people that are looking for money making opportunities. The average response seems to be 15 Opt ins per ad, with at least one person joining....Not bad for $65.

I am hoping I get similar....or better....results. The only thing I have an issue with is that with the site being so competitive, your ad won't able to be scheduled right away. I set my ad up on Friday, and It can't be released until May 2nd.

But hopefully it will be worth the wait.
