Creating an online income is often hampered by technical stuff–we can’t build a website–or financial stuff–we can’t afford to advertise.
Dana Smith didn’t need a website, nor did he spend any money on advertising.
Instead, Dana just got on the phone.
Here’s the surprising story of how Dana has created an online income without building a website or spending a dime.
Dana put to work the ideas in a new Passive Income Report we began offering last month. I got to ask him about his work and the results he is getting…
1.When did you first get the idea to pursue a passive income? When did you buy my report?
I’ve been familiar with the idea of residual or passive income for some time, but don’t really remember where or when I first encountered the idea. I bought Kevin’s report on 5/21/03, but didn’t have time to read it until early June (dummy!).
2. How much have you generated in commissions since then?
$120.
3. What are some of the steps you have used to accomplish that?
After I read the report, I realized I had at least one super affiliate I had already contacted by email and by phone. I had already brought a couple of books to his attention, including Stephen Pierce’s “Under Oath”, which he bought using my affiliate link and then promoted very successfully. I realized he would be a perfect person to approach and eventually hooked him up with you. The rest, as they say, is history 🙂
4. How difficult was the process?
Very easy. I began calling people who offer affiliate programs about a year ago if they listed their phone number on their site. I had the telephone skills in place and I had already talked to several super affiliates on the phone. So, that part was easy for me. My total investment was a couple of emails and a few bucks for long distance calls. It didn’t take more than 2 hours of my time to make the $120.
5. Have you contacted any other possible “super affiliates?”
Yes, I have contacted two others.
6. What type of response have you had?
One of these persons is what I would call a borderline super affiliate and I had corresponded briefly with him by email in the past. I called and left a message on his machine and then followed up with an email. He turned out to be skeptical and a poor prospect.
I also called another genuine super affiliate. I had previously spoken to this person 5 or 6 times on the phone and he had just updated his product, so it was easy to make the call and touch bases. He agreed to take a call from you, but I don’t know the result of that conversation yet.
7. What other online pursuits are you working on?
I promote a couple of affiliate programs but want to focus on creating my own products. I’m working on two ebooks/special reports that *may* hit the streets in the next month or so, so please stay tuned!
