This post is a follow up on Saturday´s post so I am glad you decided to come back and read about my little sweet success.

To catch up, I had decided to make a new website that would take in account the things I had learned so far, avoid the mistakes I had made earlier and actually follow a special plan for promotion and building the website.

So far so good, maybe I am just a slow learner in certain aspects, maybe I am just too lazy when it comes to certain things, but what I felt had been missing big time was a plan.

Really it is no rocket science at all!

The idea for the new website domain came by a message I read on the MoreNiche forum that made so much sense to me that I just felt stupid that I hadn´t thought of it myself. You see, the biggest problem I foresaw with promoting this product was the actual price it is selling at.

Being a “net-surfer savvy” I had found a lot of similar products that were way cheaper and with the recent crisis going on and the dollar being so ridiculously low I was starting to break my head over the price.

Anyways to make a long story short, I got a new domain name… fresh energy and a plan of attack.

At the time that I was thinking of what to do with this product and whether I should or not continue with it, I finally got into BumMarketing quite a bit and had signed up for a free course by Travis Sago. Now if you have never heard of BumMarketing or are trying it without results so far, I definately recommend you follow this free course since it was what made the difference for me!

The things Travis says might be known already, but for me it turned out to be a little blueprint to go about how to succeed with my new website. Some things really hit home hard and I realized he was pointing out exactly where all my efforts had gone haywire so far.

Yesterday a month ago I bought the domain. I had my plan in place and decided that instead of making a static website I´d opt for a WP blog. No need to teach an old dog new tricks and I knew I would save a lot of time using a blog instead of a static website, since I have been building them for quite a while and it just comes easy to me.

First week I worked on the design and SEO site of the blog while I outsourced most of  the content. This gave me the opportunity to get a little headstart on things before going off for my trip in the second week of this new project.

Second week I was gone, having fun, relaxing with my folks and enjoying the good life and Excellent Food during a lifetime experience. This week actually gave me some time to think and look from a distance at my work and little business. And knowing the content was being taken care off while away, I could sit back a bit.

Third week into the new project, I started adding all the content and doing article marketing, submitting around 20 articles to EzineArticles and articlemarketer and submitting my site to different directories. Another thing I did once I had enough content on my site was starting to answer questions on Yahoo from people that could very much profit from my product and then sending them to the post that would help them finding the solution to their problem.

I started seeing an increase in visits and clickthroughs on my affiliate links but nothing happened. It just stayed at that… more visitors, more clicks … no sales. But hey …. week 3 of a new domain, very few links to my website still so nothing too weird.

I have to go for now but I promise to post on Wednesday and tell you what changes I made to my website, why I did it, what gave me an extra push to put in more effort and why this sale is so special to me.

So if you are interested in finding out what was the turning point for me, I´ll see you on Wednesday!

For now, keep planning your succes!
