Update on Colin McDougall

Many of you have asked for an update on Colin McDougall’s progress since reading about his affiliate marketing near disaster and amazing recovery in “The “Come=Back” Affiliate‘ in late January.

So I asked Colin if I could share some of our email exchanges with you and he agreed.

Here are portions from 3 of our email ‘chats’.

Hey Ros,

Here is how things have gone with campaign:

1. 2 weeks planning
2. Campaign is 1 month in
3. Profit on Campaign over 30 days is $US12788
4. List is at 987 Subscribers which for last 7 days has produced $30/day

The bulk of the earnings has come in the last 2 weeks as I made some refinements to the campaign.

For the first 2 weeks the campaign produced about $100/day and 30 new subscribers.

I tweaked and the record day was $2k with 200+ new subscribers

In another email Colin reported:

Many of my customers ask me what my target earnings are on a site before I build another site.

My response: I want 10k subscribers per site that I have before I launch any more.

Colin

… a GREAT tip…

In every biz my core focus is now “The List” – A list is an amazing thing – It is an incredible foundation.

I regret not doing this 5 years ago – I would have been doing close to $1Million per month if I had adopted list building from the start.

… and MORE good tips…

Now have almost 2000 subscribers over the course of about 2 months (The first 2 weeks were slow though in building the campaign) so really 2k subscribers in 6 weeks – Not bad….still tweaking and refining. Getting to “know” my list.

I am researching more topics to start the next list but the key to success for me has really come down to focusing on a handful of categories and dominating those.

Category #1 is going incredibly well.

Feel free to use the last correspondence. You certainly were my inspiration to get off my butt and start building a list.

Anyway… off to work on latest campaign – Been crunching numbers and looks very very good – If all works out I will have an additional $40k/month residual coming in thanks to your inspiration!!!

You Rock!!!

Colin

And Colin and his efforts defnitely ROCK.
