My First Amazon Check


My Amazon Check

Hi Filipino Affiliate Marketers. It's been long time since I posted something here on my blog. I got busy with something. As you can see in the picture, I just received my check from Amazon (I whited out my address.) This is proof that you can make money online. I'm going to work harder than ever to get more checks. Pretty inspiring.

Right now I'm reviewing a product by Kevin Riley called Clockwork Recipe For Mini Affiliate Cash Sites.
As the title suggests, it's about creating small affiliate sites that promote an offer. It teaches how to sell both digital and physical products. I'm right now in the part where I'm choosing a product to sell. I'm going to write more on this on the next posts.

Easy Paycheck Formula Update 11, Rapid Profit Formula Update 1

Easy Paycheck Formula has been updated and now includes a video for creating hubs in hubpages. Sara did this because Ezine articles became stricter with article submissions (Ezine threatened me to lower my author level from Platinum to Basic when I submitted an article they didn't like. I guess I'm not going to use them often like I used to.) Ezine articles are now requiring basic level authors to become Platinum level authors or else they won't be able to submit articles to Ezine anymore. It's probably going to be more difficult for beginning article writers to become Platinum, specially with the stricter rules. Hubpages are not as strict as Ezine so EPF users will be able to put their content the hubs without worrying too much about their article getting rejected. With that said, Hubpages does have rules as to what and how content should appear in their hubs. The videos in EPF will show how to create your content and what kind of content to put in the hubs and how to increase page ranks for them.

This just proves to me that Sara Young is definitely someone who cares about her subscribers.

For Rapid Profit Formula, I'm still looking for keywords to target that meet Matt's criteria.  Matt is recommending an SEO tool to help with figuring out the competition backllinks and I haven't fully understood how to use it yet. Matt didn't explain how to use it in the course. That's my issue with RPF. This is not a program for people who don't want to do additional research on how to use certain tools. But other than this, I can't find any other issues with the course.

Google Slap, Easy Paycheck Formula Update 9, Rapid Profit Formula Review
















Hey, what's up. I'm still using Easy Paycheck Formula and made more sales after my last post. As of this post , though, sales slowed down for the product that I am promoting. So, I'm promoting a new product now. Some changes happened in the Web. Namely, Google's algorithim change, or more popularly called a "Google Slap."  What got hit mostly were the article directories, including Ezine Articles, which I use in EPF. So my article rankings went down and my sales went down as well. The Google Slap wasn't totally to blame, though. The demand for the product I'm promoting is slowly declining (I apologize to the newbies out there. I still can't tell you what that product is right now. I'll tell you soon, though.)

The Slap happened because Google is trying to get rid of low quality content on the net. The article directories are (from Google's point of view) publishing derivative content and much of the articles there are very similar to each other or does not give that much info to readers. As a response, Ezine Articles changed its submission guidelines. Some of the changes are:
  1. Minimum word count for articles are now 400.
  2. Doubling of the time it takes for the Ezine Articles editors to check articles.
So Platinum level authors like me, whose articles are supposed to be approved within 48 hours are now going to get approved, at most, after 4 days instead of just 2. Well, that's how the internet is. It's dynamic and everything changes. You just gotta change with it :)

So, does this mean that the Easy Paycheck Formula doesn't work anymore?

Sara took note of this change and sent emails to EPF users and she assured that she will do testing to see which other sites to submit articles to for those who can't use Ezine anymore. She also said that, more than ever we better make sure that we deliver what we promise in our article titles-something that a lot writers were able to get away with before. Sara will send out an email in the next few days about which alternative sites we can submit to.

Also, Sara is promoting Rapid Profit Formula. It's a comprehensive program that sells physical products but this program will ask you to create your own website with its own url. So, in short, this isn't going to train you to promote products through free methods life EPF. There is a free $1 7 day trial for it. I am now taking the 7 day trial and I'm pretty impressed.

Easy Paycheck Formula Update 8



Hi, affiliate marketers in the Philippines (and other countries.) I just signed up for the Easy Paycheck Formula advanced course called Easy Paycheck Formula on Steroids. It's only available for people who already have subscribed to EPF. The course costs $27 a month and features advanced tactics that promises to make the goal of getting to the $100 a day commissions faster. The first month will feature advanced keyword research so you'll come up with more keywords to use for your campaigns. The second month will show you how to speed up the article writing process. The consecutive months will show other things to boost your sales but Sara did not tell what on her sales page. I'm in my first month in the advanced course and I'm seeing a lot of helpful stuff that I can use. Sara has given me keyword lists to use as well.

Easy Paycheck Formula Update 7

Hi, Filipino affiliate marketers. I'm back again with an update for my Easy Paycheck Campaign. Check out my earnings from January 29 to February 18.

Just a bit of info, though. If you are based in the Philippines, the only way you can get your commissions from Amazon is through check. Amazon will ship out the check in 3 months after you have passed your commission threshold. The default threshold is $100. So, if you earn $100 or more in February, the check will be shipped to you last day of May. You'll likely to receive the check early June.
