The New Rich Blog

Let’s say you are an affiliate and you are running a profitable campaign for an info product.
You already scaled your campaign to the content network, Yahoo and MSN.
How can you earn more? Be a vendor!
If you can be a vendor for the product you are now promoting, you will:

• Earn much more from your existing campaign
• Earn much much more from other affiliates that will promote your product
• Make your income even more passive

The following guide is true for Clickbank info products (eBooks), but can be done in a similar way for other products in bigger investment and effort.

1. Research your niche - is there demand? Is there room in the market for another product? Check how many products are available for that niche in Clickbank. Websites such as CBEngine can give you deeper analysis of the niche and the products available. Do some market research. Great websites to begin with are Twitter Search and Yahoo Answers. Find out if people are talking about your niche, if there is still a demand.
2. Write the outline - open a new word document or notepad. Describe your requested product briefly. Write a table of contents or an outline of your new ebook. You can “borrow” some points from the product you are currently promoting. You can change and add points to make your product better.
3. Creating the product - sit down and write the ebook. Just kidding Your next step will be to find someone who will write the book for you. Finding a freelance ebook writer is pretty easy. Sign up and post a project in freelancer websites such as Elance or Guru. Write down a brief description of what you are looking for. Mention that you will provide the outline of the book. You will get a wide verity of offers. Probably the offers from Indian freelancers will be cheaper, but if you choose an Indian freelancer, you must make sure that his english level and expertise are high. Choose your freelancer and give him the product outline. After the freelancer will finish the ebook, go over it. Examine if there are any mistakes and if needed, as him for corrections.
4. Create the landing page - When you have the ebook at hand, the next thing you need is GREAT landing page. You will need the content and the website itself. Creating a website is pretty simple and it won’t be covered in this guide. Content is king! Therefore the content -the pre-sale letter, is even more important than the product itself. If you have good copywriting skills, you can write the pre-sale by yourself. If not (like most of us) you can again post a project in Elance or Guru and ask for a sales letter copywriter.

I am in the process of creating my own ebook in these days, and I’m at step 4. When I will advance, I will write part 2 of the guide in which you will learn - how to sign up as a vendor, how to test your landing page, how to recruit affiliates and how to convert even more.

Stay tuned

The New Rich

Life doesn’t have to be so damn hard. It really doesn’t. Most people, have spent too much time convincing
themselves that life has to be hard, working 9-5 in the office in exchange for (sometimes) relaxing weekends and the occasional keep-it-short-or-get-fired vacation.
People don’t want to be millionaires - they want to experience what they believe only millions can buy.
The fantasy is not $1,000,000. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom it supposedly allows.

The New Rich is sub-culture of people. People who freed themselfs from the limits of time and mobility. Those people can choose where they want to be in the world and what they want to do. They don’t have to be rich with cash! Because the currency of The New Rich is time and mobility.

And this is where I see myself. I am already on my path to create the lifestyle I desire. Right now, I can be anywhere and you won’t even know, I can be on the beach in Hawaii, I can be drinking coffee at Starbucks in Manhattan or traveling to a distant village in India. Hail to the cellular internet!

My final goal in this path is having passive income that will give me all the time, mobility and freedom I need. I want to travel the world all my life. I want to see places, meet people, do stuff and of course, help others and contribute back to the world.
Of course I aim high, but if this passive income will be $2000 a month and this will give me the freedom I want, it will be enough for me!

I invite you all to join The New Rich

By the way, the concept of The New Rich is borrowed from the book The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss, really great book.

Yha! I have a new design for the blog!
I have decided that the dark design is not for me. I am not a dark person! on the contrary. I love freedom, I love nature and I love white. So therefore, I have changed the design of the blog completely, so It will better reflect who I am and what I believe in.

Check out the background at the bottom of the page ↓↓

I hope you like it, I will be happy to hear your opinion!

I’m working on a new design at this very moment, so maybe you will see some weird stuff going on.

May was a very interesting month for me.
On one hand, most of the month I was a Medieval Mercenary Warrior. On the other, my real first passive income has begun this month. Another great thing is that the ideas’ fairy has came to visit me.

For the past 7 month I tried different Affiliate Marketing Strategies, constantly trying to find these great niches, those products, these campaigns that bring me the juice. I tried a lot of products, mainly from Clickbank but also some from Copeac, and finally I have found one product that is giving me constant passive income!
So here it is… Give him a big round of applause!

Clickbank

This is total income of $778 from Clickbank. Here is the new graph from Adwords (I love this new graphs):

Adwords

This is total expense of $421.
Which means $357 profit in 2 weeks from one product. This is great start!

So this month I went on a short vacation in Italy, and the money was still working for me. Every now and then I found an internet cafe, checked that everything is okay and went back to drink great wine, eat great food and travel in beautiful sceneries.

Italy

This is how I like living!

In addition to that, I have small website I’m promoting naturally (SEO), a website that compares leads in a specific niche. This week I got to the first page in Google with my main keyword and little income is flowing from that direction too, yha!

What is going to happen in June

First thing, I’m planning to finish my commitments and stop being a Medieval Mercenary Warrior!
The other very important thing I’m starting to do is taking into action a nice idea I have, which is a unique service for all affiliates and marketers. You will hear about it soon…
More than that, and if I’ll have time, I would like to create my own product for Clickbank. I think it is very wise to create your own product. When you have a successful campaign for a specific product, especially ebook, write the same ebook (different content but same idea) by yourself (or hire writers for that) and just switch the product you are promoting with your own. Then start recruiting other affiliates for you and walla! You are on a great way!

That all, I need to go and get ready for Affilicon 2009!
See ya around!

Hello everyone, my name is Sir Newrich. I was once a simple worker, like everyone else here in Normalvill. Every day I worked hard, to bring loaf of bread to the table at the end of the day. But deep in my heart, I knew I can do better than that. I always felt a strong craving for freedom, I wanted to travel, to explore, I wanted to find a treasure!
So one day, I did it. I left everything I knew and started exploring. Where I will find that treasure?
I traveled for days, I traveled for months. I wondered in the valleys and on the mountains. But treasure treasure, where are thee?
So I decided - until I will find my treasure, I will become a mercenary warrior! Yes this will be great! I will earn great money while still being free!
So I have found a master, that paid good money. At first it was great. A couple of hours each day I fought in fights that weren’t mine. But soon, the fights were bigger and much more dangerous. I wanted to continue my journey, looking for the treasure but I couldn’t. I was committed to my master. I fought every day, selling my time, selling my strength…

Is a freelancer is really so different than salaried employee?
It is different because you have the freedom of location. You can work from anywhere, it doesn’t matter if you work from home bare naked, or from the top of mountain Everest (if you have internet connection there). This is really great.
But it is the same, because you are still working for someone else and not for yourself!

Soon I will finish the job with my current master, then I will be free to continue my amazing journey to the treasure…

Farewell,
Sir Newrich.

Welcome to my first video post!

To summarize, here is what you need to do, step by step:

1. Open Adwords Editor.
2. Get recent changes & performance statistics.
3. Select the campaign you want to edit and click the “keywords” tab.
4. Click “Advanced Search”.
5. In “Performance Statistics”, set: Avg. Pos > is greater than or equal to: > 1
6. Click “Add”.
7. Set: Avg. Pos > is less than or equal to: > 3
8. Click “Search”.
9. Select the Ctrl+A or just the keywords you want to change.
10. Click “Advanced Bid Changes”.
11. Select “Decrease bids by” > 20 percent.
12. Check “Do not set keyword maximum CPC bids…”
13. Click “Change Bids”.
14. Click “Advanced Search”.
15. Set: Avg. Pos > is greater than: > 3
16. Set: Avg. Pos > is less than or equal to: > 8
17. Repeat steps 8-10.
18. Select “Increase bids by” > 20 percent.
19. Check “Set bids no higher than” if you want.
20. Click “Change Bids”.
21. Click “Advanced Search”.
22. Set: Avg. Pos > is greater than: > 8
23. Repeat steps 8-10.
24. Select “Increase bids by” > 35 percent.
25. Check “Set bids no higher than”, if you want.
26. Click “Change Bids”.
27. Post your campaign!

It is important for me to say that this is my technique and of course there are other techniques. It is good idea to check different things and see what works best for you!

Good luck!

My new strategy is starting to pay of. As I said, I have choosen a product with pretty high competition and high gravity. At first I lost a lot, I paused the campaign for a day and did some changes. I got rid of bad keywords (as a general rule - do not bid for one word phrases!), and put the campaign back in the air. Now I make 1-2 sales each day and the profit is close then ever.

It feels so daam good!

Take a look at my Clickbank screenshot:

I know this is is not much, but it is a start. I will write more about it soon!
