well it's been a pretty wild ride but after 3 months at WA, and not knowing anything about marketing, I now have 3 successful campaigns earning an average of $700/day.
I'm still not sure if I'm dreaming. I keep thinking something is going to happen and the money train will stop.
So i guess what I'm saying is that I might have a lot more money now, but I'm a lot more paranoid too

kind of fun though ...
This website (forums especially) and the BMM are responsible for planting the seeds for most of my success.
There is one other factor I consider huge in my success so far ... a book called Influence by Caladini. It's the master work on marketing psychology. It will explain the psychology behind the success of many techniques used my marketers.
I know there is so much to learn and I'm still only at the tip of it all so I'm totally stoked thinking of what's ahead.
I recently launched a new campaign and used my opt-in list as a cross promotional vehicle to launch the new campaign. Because of the list my first day on the campaign netted me just over $1000.
So if you don't have an opt-in what are you waiting for? If you're thinking you want to wait until you have more traffic before you go to the $20 expense of gathering opt-ins then you're making a costly mistake. Once you do have the traffic you want and you get a list you're going to realize how valuable those lost leads really were and you'll wish you had them back.
One of the issues I'm struggling with is how to manage the logistics of multiple niches and multiple campaigns. I have three now and it's getting fairly complicated. I'm not sure what to do once I'm at 6.
If any one can point me at some good discussions about ideas regarding managing the complexities of multiple campaigns I would appreciate it very much.
I have not read Inside the List. Can anyone tell me if it discusses strategies for managing multiple lists efficiently? or is it mostly about single list management?
thanks, and good luck everyone

Holy smokes. You are on fire! That is awesome news.
Yes...Cialdini is a book to read and live by for marketers and non-marketers...makes life easier when you know and live those principles.
Hey Tariss...I am going to offer a little advice that I have been applying over the last few months...and that is GO DEEP instead of wide...if you can.
Now, you don't have to take this advice of course.
But, if you have 3 successful campaigns...I suspect that if you pick one and start looking for other traffic...other ways to monetize...you could triple your gross daily sales.
Think about who your niche is...where they hang out on the web...then go visit those sites and see if you can get a banner or text link or article on their site.
Next to PPC, this is my favorite and most successful traffic generator (and in some cases this dwarfs what I can bring in with PPC)
If you keep looking, testing and tweeking different traffic sources you will be amazed at how much traffic you can drive. Seriously, you may find one source that beats all your other sources combined.
Awesome job.
Take Care,
Travis
