Man it sure has been a long time since I have been able to make a post!

I have been so busy with everything!  Life is an amazing thing.  You only get to go through it once, and you sure as hell better do everything that you can to make it enjoyable.  That is what I have been trying to do.

In addition to having a beautiful baby girl (Chloe Nicole Jensen), my wife and I have been working on a few other things.  Being that my wife is on maternity leave right now, she has taken the role of wedding coordinator for her sisters upcoming wedding.  I have never seen her as happy as she is while doing all of this work for the upcoming wedding.  We have taken this passion and we are creating a new business for her.  So, if you know anyone that is getting married in the Dallas area, please have them check out Dallas Platinum Weddings.

In addition to this, I have been working with a god friend of mine on a website that is more for fun (Bash Your Co-Worker).  As you can see, with this site, I am actually taking a step away from in your face internet marketing, and taking what I have learned to do what I enjoy (build, maintain, and market websites).  The good news is that once this site is getting a certain amount of daily traffic, I can start selling ad space on this site.  Talk about easy money!  People will pay you on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis to place their ads on your busy site!

Anyway, I have decided to start focusing more time back to this blog since I have finally got these other sites up and running, and now I just have to maintain!

Do what you love!  Talk about what you are passionate about!  It pisses me off when people say that they can not pick a niche to try to make money.  You can make money in ANY market you can think of.  If you enjoy something, start writing about it.  Talk about it, make videos about it, write articles about it.  If you enjoy something, chances are you will have a lot of other people online that are interested in what you have to say.  Get readers, get followers, get daily traffic, and sell ad space!  It is really pretty easy.

It is going to take time to get a following and get that daily traffic, but if you are writing or blogging about something that you are passionate about, it should be pretty easy to keep it up.

Anyone see that movie Julie and Julia?  Stories like that happen every day.  Yeah, it was not easy for he at first, but she ended up doing so well that they made a movie about her (think that gig paid very well???).

Here are the links to the things that I am working on.

Remember one thing:  YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!  LIVE IT LIKE EVERY DAY IS YOUR LAST!

Multiple Websites For Sale

Good Evening Everyone!

I know that it has been a while, but I have been so busy!

My wife is just over a month away from giving birth to our first baby! I was recently promoted, so I am working a little bit more in my real job. I have been building, developing, and marketing about 15 affiliate websites (which brings me to the reason of this post).

I have decided to focus all of my efforts on about 5 sites that I have a lot of interest in, and I have decided to put the rest of them (good, but no interest) up for sale. I thought about using flippa.com, but I thought that I would start here. I will be taking bids through responses. All of the sites have a starting bid of $50, and I have a reserve that I will not go below. If you are interested in any of these sites, please reply to the post with a bid, or you can send me a private email at chris@askchrisjensen.com.

I have so many people that are here on a daily basis that I would like to offer these sites to before I try to sell them on Flippa. All of the sites listed were built using Wordpress with the custom and premium Thesis theme. They all have different forms of monetization ranging from CPA to CJ affiliate program to Ebay Partnet Network to Google Adsense to Clickbank products to Amazon products.

Some of them have opt ins with follow up messages. Some of them are getting traffic (even though I have not done anything except basic SEO and some social bookmarking).

Here is the list. If you have any questions about any of them, please let me know. I will be more than happy to get the sites over to your hosting company. I will only be accepting Paypal. If you do not know if you can get accepted into the programs that are being promoted, please do not try to buy until you get accepted (I have ads from Maxbounty’s CPA program and Ebay Partner Network). There is one site that was built for the sole purpose of Wealthy Affiliate. You cannot promote Wealthy Affiliate if you are not a member, so if you are not a member, please do not try to get mrwealthyaffiliate dot com.

http://getbabytosleeptonight.com

http://kegeratorheaven.com

http://mrwealthyaffiliate.com

http://perfectgasgrill.com

http://usedrvshop.com

http://winbackyourtruelove.com

Please check out the sites and let me know what you think. I would be more than happy to change anything about any of the sites to make them more appealing to you. If you are interested in traffic and statistical information about any of the sites, just let me know.

If you know anyone that might be interested in any of these sites, please let them know!

Feel free to comment, share, and re-tweet for all of your friends!

Write Your Own Affiliate Checks?

Affiliate Marketing is by far one of the easiest ways to make money online. It is a revenue sharing business relationship between the affiliate who agrees to promote the products or services, and the merchant who offers them.

The affiliate advertises the merchant’s products and services and gets a commission for every successful referral. Every time a customer is referred to the merchant’s site through the affiliate’s efforts, and makes a purchase, the affiliate gets a share of the profit. No payment is due to the affiliate until successful results are realized. Compensation is based on either number of visits, registrant, or commission for each sale.

Affiliate Marketers can earn a few bucks to thousands of dollars with affiliate programs. The opportunity to earn in affiliate marketing can only be limited by the affiliate’s determination, creativity and strategy. It is a brilliant way to earn online, and you do not have to produce your own product or service to make a buck. By advertising your merchant’s products passionately, you get more in return. Profits in affiliate marketing usually start small but can get larger as the campaign starts to build up steam.

There are many things that an affiliate marketer can do to maximize their profits. If you ask any affiliate marketer how many affiliate checks they would want to receive, they will most likely want to get as many as possible. Some affiliate checks are small, amounting to nothing more than $25. While others are large and can easily reach the thousands and even more. Over time, these affiliate checks may build up to a really impressive amount. However, making a fortune in affiliate marketing is not instant. You must be willing to put in enough work and effort as well. You have to use your imagination to find more ways to attract more web traffic that can convert to sales for the merchant and profit for you as well.

How many affiliate checks do you want to receive? Most affiliate marketers will enthusiastically reply that they want to receive as many affiliate checks as possible. However, is it as easy as it sounds? Does joining many affiliate marketers guarantee more affiliate checks that really amount to something? The answer is No. Most affiliate marketers assume that joining multiple affiliate programs is a wise option. Many people think that it is very easy to join affiliate programs and there is really nothing to lose, so many affiliate marketers are tempted to join as many programs they can get their hands on. Thus, they fail to give their affiliate programs enough attention and work that they ought to receive. The maximum potential of the affiliate programs are not realized and the resulting income from these programs will almost certainly be disappointing.

The best way to achieve multiple streams of income is to concentrate on one affiliate program first. Choose a product or service that you can promote passionately. Pick a product in which you have complete trust. The best products and services to promote are those that you use personally. Your prospects will be able to sense your sincerity whenever you promote a product that you have experienced. This will greatly enhance your credibility as well as your product’s marketability and will really encourage your visitor to purchase the product or service.

As soon as your first affiliate program is making a reasonable profit then you can proceed to joining another affiliate program and repeat the process. “Too much, too soon” is a common pitfall in affiliate marketing. Joining too many affiliate programs simultaneously in the hopes of having multiple streams of income simply does not work.

Focus first on one affiliate program and work on it so that it makes a good profit. Then, go find another promising program and give it your best effort. The question should not be how many affiliate checks you want to receive, but how many “high-paying” affiliate checks can you receive. The answer lies in your determination to succeed and determination to maximize your earning potential. With the right tools, the right actions, and perseverance you can definitely make a good profit out of affiliate marketing.

I hope that you are able to use this to your advantage.  When I first started out, I joined every affiliate program that I could find.  This is why it took me just over a year to start seeing profits.  If you take this advice and start out building one campaign at a time you will become much more successful.  If you have any questions, please let me know!
