Final Update! Month 8 Affiliate Marketing Website Best Education Page #Online Earning

Final Update! Month 8 Affiliate Marketing Website




Hey Miles here, milesbeckler.com.
In this video I've got the month eight update for my affiliate marketing website
case study. We're going to go through all of the numbers.
Plus you're going to learn why this is most likely going to be my very last
update on the affiliate marketing site because a few things have changed and
come up in the data.
It makes me realize that I'm probably going to have to stop making these videos
for you and you're going to learn why at the end.
But first let's jump into the data because we're in the growth curve at this
point and things are starting to get really exciting for us.
So in the month eight update, what we're looking at is the January data.
So that is the eighth month I've been building it.
So we're looking at like January versus December data.
Really clean data cause both months have 31 days.
So all traffic on the website combined was up 96% so about a hundred percent
growth at about doubled the traffic. But here's the cool part of the traffic.
183% increase in Google organic traffic.
What this means is we're ranking better.
We're ranking for more keyword phrases and for the keyword phrases that we're
already ranking, they're moving up,
which means we're getting more clicks and we're getting more traffic.
Also on the search engines being is up 72% a duck duck go is up 316% and Yahoo
is up 87% so what this means is the site is now ranking in all of the major
search engines.
They're all driving us traffic and they're all driving us more traffic.
And the trend is continuing because I'm recording this in the middle of
February, so I'm kind of,
I was able to glance at the current data and this trend is not slowing down.
It's not stopping. This is the idea of compound and growth.
And I'm going to say this again and again in this video,
and you've probably heard me say this before, uh,
there's a long lag time of putting in work, putting in energy,
creating the content,
doing the day to day work before we start to see the results.
But then the results begin to compound and that's what we're seeing.
Our impressions are up 175% so this means almost a double as many times we're
showing up in the search engines, which is great.
Our click through rate is up 20% this means our titles and our descriptions are
getting the click and this really comes down.
We've had some writer challenges in the beginning.
We were using some teams that just weren't very good,
they weren't experts in our world and we have changed that over the last few
months. So the content we're putting out has better titles,
better descriptions is getting clicked on more often and it is growing.
Our average position has moved up 10% as well,
so that means Google is liking the site even more.
That also means we probably got a higher click through rate.
Those two are correlated there, so those are kind of the leading indicators.
The actual data from our search volume. What about money? Right?
How much money is this thing making?
Well at this point it's $80 and 22 cents in total revenue from last month.
Which is an 18 fold increase. That's right.
Our revenue has gone up 18 times what it was.
And I'm going to give you some revenue projections to show you where I kind of
expect we might be able to, um,
end the year at that 12 month point because, um,
we're starting to see the compounding on the revenue side as well,
which is extremely powerful.
Now I set up the multi-country approach, so I'm now also getting,
um, from Canada, from UK, both the traffic that comes in from the Canadian,
Amazon and the UK. Amazon,
they are actually counting towards our sales. Uh,
if you don't kind of go in and set this up through Amazon,
you don't actually get the credit or the affiliate commissions when someone in a
foreign country other than your main country buys.
I got that all set up and we have seen sales in both Canada and the UK which
means that our sites working not only in the United States,
it's working in Canada, the United States and the UK as well.
And we are receiving commissions from there. Um, so at this point in February,
okay. So I looked at were um,
midway through February and I looked at the beginning of this midway part in
February versus where we were last year and we've tripled,
we've tripled how much revenue we've generated for Amazon, right?
The number of sales that we've generated,
and we've tripled our own commissions at this point compared to the same time.
So I want to run you through these numbers real quick about how it went.
So a few months ago we had our first sales and we had our first month at a
dollar 50. Right? And I was like, yeah,
you could almost buy a cup of coffee here.
So then it went from a dollar 50 to $4 and 50 cents. Okay.
Then from $4 and 50 cents, the revenue jump the next month to 80.
Now I have seen nothing less than a 3X increase.
And currently month to month, month over month,
for the first two weeks of the month, I'm seeing a 3X increase.
So we're at month eight. If the revenue continues to grow at this same rate,
that means next month a 3X increase from 80 would put me at $240 and then month
10 a 3X increase would put me at $720 then month 11 would put us at a 3X
increase of about $2,160 and then month 12 at one year.
That would put us at $6,480 in the month,
which means we would absolutely crush our goal,
but the odds of a consistent 3X increase... They're not that real.
Let's be honest,
nothing goes geometrically even there's going to be ups and downs and I'm okay
with it.
But what's happened is I've proved the model for myself and I've shown that this
clearly works. Now,
I mentioned in the beginning that I was going to tell you why I have to stop
putting these kinds of updates out.
So one thing I've noticed in the data is I am getting branded searches.
Now I'm getting people searching for my name and the brand name.
What has happened is somewhere somehow people are attempting really hard or
talking about or discovering what my kind of scientific site it was meant to be
a scientific study,
which means I can't have outside interjection of traffic or it messes up my
scientific data. And at this point the scientific data has been messed up.
So people are either talking about us, sharing about us.
My goal with this YouTube channel has always been to be the most helpful
marketer in the world, which means I'm going to share as much as I possibly can,
but then people think that they can maybe gain brand value by talking about me
by um,
revealing things that I attempted to keep under wraps for many specific reasons.
And that is why I'm going to stop doing these updates.
I might do one more update at month 12 to let you know how we kept up the year,
but honestly I might not. And it's that whole philosophy of you know what,
YouTube, this is why we can't have nice things. Right?
I was trying to do a scientific step-by-step,
really truly kind of neat and tidy study here to see is it possible to get to
$3,000 per month. But now my numbers are all getting skewed.
And what this leads me to believe is that a people are going to start copying
and mimicking what I'm doing,
be more people are going to try to find out what's going on here and I'm ready
to just disappear.
So I'm going to go build with my team in private the rest of this asset and
we're going to take this to $3,000 per month and beyond.
And then I'm going to build another affiliate marketing site because I am
building a division of this for my business.
I do feel like this is a great way for me to reinvest capital from my business
in a realm that I have great expertise to grow additional cashflow.
This is in addition to my real estate investing,
which is kind of one of the other places where I invest my money's there. But,
uh, it's unfortunate in some regards,
but I have to do what is right for my business and for myself.
So this thing's going back under wraps.
I hope you've enjoyed these updates at this point.
I believe in total we spent about $26,000 and we had another month.
I think we spend about $3,000.
I'll have a link below the video in the description to the blog post of this to
where I track all of the exact things we spent the money on, et cetera,
et cetera. Again,
my whole idea and a philosophy here was can I build this with almost zero input
from me with just throwing money at it? I will say at this point, um,
if someone did not have the skills that I have,
if someone did not have the knowledge of internet marketing, uh,
it would be very difficult to build a website of this caliber of this stature,
100% hands off. I,
I've had to get in there with my team multiple times to refine their processes,
to really focus them on the right things.
It's a very difficult thing to just throw money at an affiliate website,
which is why you don't see all of the millionaires, the DECA millionaires,
the center millionaires in our world. They're not investing in this world,
which is great for you if you're a bootstrapper.
If you're somebody who's ready to put in three,
four years of hard work to really learn the game and learn the systems and build
the content and build the audience.
It's ripe for the picking because it really does take a lot of life energy.
And when I say I've spent $26,000 on this, think about it like a part time job.
If you went and got a part time job,
would you make about 26 grand in the next year?
Odds are if you're worth 20 bucks an hour, you would. Okay,
so that's what I've essentially done here is treated this like a part time side
gig with other people's time instead of my own.
I will also say last note on this one is my personal brand,
this miles Beckler brand and also my wife's personal brand group with much
higher revenue more quickly than selling random products through an Amazon
affiliate site. So if you have a level of expertise in something,
if you can help people lose weight, if you can help people build racing drones,
if you can help people win at a, at a game or an Eastboards or something,
if you are able to sell coaching,
if you're able to create courses and you can help people solve their problems,
uh, achieve their goals,
there's probably a faster way for you to build income by leveraging your
expertise. If you've been a financial advisor for years and years,
if you've been an insurance agent and you have a really creative insurance
project, et cetera, et cetera,
building off of that expertise is going to be a faster approach to cash.
But I do feel confident that I have proven that anyone can go out and create a
brand new site on a new topic they don't know much about because I didn't,
I'm not an expert in this topic. And through with enough hard work and energy,
you can build a real business online and we've done it here again and
unfortunately this is going to be the last update.
There's a chance I'll feel like doing a one year update. But honestly,
I feel burned a little bit. I don't know exactly where this is coming from.
I don't really care where it's all coming from,
but I can just see that it started and I just realized that at this point I got
to keep some of my intellectual property as private as I can.
I've got to do what's best for my business because ultimately in the long term,
I am CEO of my little corporation here and this is a business and that's why I'm
doing this. This is not charity, this is not UNICEF. And if this gets swiped,
deployed, copied, Copyscape and ruined, uh, now it'd be kind of a challenge,
right? If they're in a lot of money at this.
So that's the way the cookie crumbled on this one. I do appreciate you.
If you've liked these updates, please let me know. I do appreciate that. And um,
I thank you very much.
I do think that affiliate marketing is a great business model. Personally,
I would never stop doing coaching, consulting,
membership sites and e-courses to start an affiliate marketing business.
I think it is a,
I think that the intellectual property based content around your expertise,
uh, coaching programs, selling a one on one services, small group services,
selling marketing services, selling courses, selling memberships,
that is a far more lucrative world than the world of affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is great for those individuals who say, miles,
I don't have any expertise. I don't know what to do.
I just need to do something. Then this is a great way to build skills.
You'll build skills in the world of digital marketing.
You'll learn how SEO works. You'll learn how to publish content,
you'll learn how to create great review sites.
You'll learn how to drive traffic, and those skills can be leveraged.
And you could start a small agency where you can really quickly get to that 10
grand per month Mark when you have the ability to drive traffic, build websites,
and essentially help other local businesses who have monetization systems really
truly grow what they have. So I like it. It's been fun.
I thank you very much for your interest and your time. Any questions?
I'll try to get at the comments as best I can, but on that note,
I'm going to go, I got some more great videos for you coming out.
I'm going to get back to the tactics back to the stuff that moves the needle in
your business. So thank you again.
I appreciate you and I'll see you the next video. Until then, be well, cheers.
