Ok, first off…This is completely going to be random, and unscripted, raw, realty tv style marketing.
It’s NOT to be showy…Heck, there’s a good chance I might fall on my face PUBLICLY, and NOT make the amount of money set forth in the goal you propose for me.
But then again…I just might!
So lets hear it. What ideas would you like to see attempted by me, publicly?
Here are a few ideas.
Marketing Method:
PPC Affiliate Marketing with ClickBank
PPC Affiliate Marketing with CPA offers
Bum Marketing
Website Flipping
Product launches in a new niche
Licensing
SEO
OR…..It would be really interesting if you were to instead choose a marketing product here on TacticTester.com. In this instance, the rules would be that I am not allowed to use anything other than what has been supplied by the product vendor, and I can only follow information contained within their product.
Some good ones would be:
SEM Business Blueprint
Commission Blueprint 2.0
Zero Friction Marketing
The Site Rush
Instacash Keywords
Affiliate Funnel System
CPA Arbitrage
The Naked Truth
….
YOU PICK THE MARKETING METHOD.
Secondly, we need to establish a monetary goal for 30 days. Don’t say something rediculous…seriously, $30k in 30 days with SEO rankings for example, is a little too difficult.
Also, lets make this realistic for the AVERAGE PERSON. So, that means I should also be limited in my budget to how much money I have to start with. Shall we say it’s fair that the average person can find $250-$300 to spend? You tell me.
I’ll also not be allowed to use previously created websites, or email marketing lists, to make money towards this goal.
Be as detailed as possible. The most creative, realistic suggestion, gets 15 points to spend in the TacticTester.com bonus room!
I’ll make my decision on September 17th, and announce it publicly here on the blog in a new post that will initiate the 30 day challenge.

I am in the midst of reading through the Affiliate Funnel System and would love to see someone implement the methods from scratch, just to see if this stuff really does work. With that said, here is what I would love to see you do:
Product / Training:
Affiliate Funnel System
Monetary Goal:
AT LEAST $5k in pure profit by the end of 30 days (does that sound reasonable?)
Initial Budget:
$300.00 – and not a penny more! LOL!
It would be so great if you could do the whole thing from start to finish, using nothing but the information given to you in the training videos and PDF’s. Even though you know a lot about IM, you can’t use ANY OTHER INFO OR TOOLS – whatsoever. The only thing is if a tool is recommended in the AFS Training Materials, you may buy / use it according to instruction. Even if you read or hear something that seems outdated or absolutely insane, you have to do it anyway – no veering off the “Affiliate Funnel System” path that has been laid out for you. After all, that’s how a newbie would do it!
It would be even more amazing (though not required…) if you could do this without entering the weight loss, forex, or make money online markets. If you could do this, it would turn me into a believer in a New York minute! (Note: you don’t have to, as I realize these markets are where much of the money is…)
You should create at least one Master Funnel, but let us know how many you had to make in order to reach the goal. Also, please let us know how much you had to reinvest in PPC along the way in order to reach your profit goal.
In any case, I can’t wait to see what you have chosen to challenge yourself with!

Posted on September 18th, 2009 at 8:04 pmHi Cherie, THANK YOU for replying. I was dying here thinking nobody was gonna put forth a challenge. I was supposed to announce my chosen challenge by yesterday, but I think I’ll let it run a few more days. If nobody else puts forth a different challenge, I’ll most likely give yours a shot.
Though $5k, in 30 days, with nothing but Affiliate Funnel System seems very hard to do with only $300 to spend on PPC, I’m happy with the product you selected to put to the test. I’m sure Saj P is going to enjoy watching these results =)
So, unless a more interesting challenge is posted, I shall endeavor to make as much money as humanly possible in 30 days with nothing but Affiliate Funnel System, and $300.
Will likely put the initial start date of this campaign at some point in the coming mid week.
Stay tuned for the update!

Posted on September 19th, 2009 at 4:49 amI vote for site flipping!
On the more technical side, I’d be interested in seeing how you go about transferring a Wordpress blog to somebody else. I honestly have no idea how you go about transferring a WP blog and all of its content, etc. to somebody else after it’s been sold.
I’d REALLY like to see the site built up without PPC, just natural traffic (article marketing, etc.).
Of course, I’d set the profit a bit lower… like a sustainable $3,000 per month. However, I realize that wouldn’t be very realistic in only a month. But maybe you could go about building multiple sites, then keep your bigger money makers and sell the ones that aren’t doing as much.
As far as tools go, I’d say use ODesk for content creation and/or articles and maybe SENuke (if you use it).
Come on Brian, we all know you’re the master site flipper!

Posted on September 19th, 2009 at 10:08 pmHi Erik, thanks for the vote of confidence!
Site Flipping is a really easy way to make some quick doe…But getting a site to make a consistent $3k/month with free traffic strategies in 30 days aint so easy.
However, making $3k in 30 days with Site Flipping is very doable, and I’d be happy to do a case study about that. In fact, I’m already working on a HUGE site flipping project with Ryan Moran…Set to go live November 15th. So stay tuned. (a lot of free content will be available on the subject)
And because of that, I may decide to post pone the Site Flipping case study until we release that project. But sure….I’ll definately take that one on at some point in the near future!
Also…I’ve noted that you’d like to learn how to transfer a WP-database to a new owner, so I’ll make sure to put that out either here on Tactic Tester, or free on the site I’m making with Ryan.

Posted on October 27th, 2009 at 7:40 pmHey dude, you know…I totally forgot about this post because of the lack of commenting. I had originally decided to go for the affiliate funnel system challenge the following week, since it was the only one that really interested me at the time, but I kinda dropped the ball while getting busy on other projects, and traveling.
I DO owe everyone a good case study. It’s been awhile. Let me think about it.
