Update on Internet Marketing Progress - Holly Mann

To all the readers, it’s been ages since I have actually made a post about affiliate marketing, so I thought I should put an update on here! I’ll get to the point quickly; more than a year ago I signed up for an online pharmacy affiliate program (based in the UK). I was living in Thailand and actually purchased something and thought the service was great - and made a post online in a forum (related to the health issue and pharmacy) with my affiliate link. I did not cloak the link (this was on Topix.net that I made the post). I just made a very short post - stating that I was living overseas, could not get the medicine in my country and bought from this particular reputable online pharmacy. A few days later the money started rolling in.

May 19 2008 Holly Mann Update

I was SHOCKED to see that it has grown and my income has been gradually and steadily increasing since then. It says on the affiliate center that I am affiliate #1 - maybe I am the only affiliate! If so, I generated more than $70,000 USD in sales for them. I earn 15% commissions on the lifetime of the customer - and the thing about health related products - people RE BUY, every 30, 60 or 90 days. If you find a program or company that is reputable, the customers will be happy and continually use their services. I am still amazed by it all. The reason that it has worked so well is because the post on topix.net was indexed by Google. The title of the post contained these keywords: “blank cheap” (sorry but it is a niche and the word blank could be replaced with a name of a medicine). That was indexed and since then I made three other posts online in health forums - that was it. That is what generated this amount of money and this high sales rate. I am sorry this is all I can write for now - mr. josh mann needs me. I will put more details or answer any questions you have on here if you comment! Thanks!

    Wow, Holly. That’s quite incredible. I thought it was interesting how you found a forum that allows affiliate links in signatures … it is not hard to find that these days?

    Hey Holly,
    That is certainly impressive,from one affiliate no doubt, even from someone like me who knows nothing about this IM industry..well only the litle that I’ve read so far.
    Now, please forgive my ignorance being new and all, but when you signed up for this pharmacy affiliate program, did you have to purchase something - medicine etc.. to be an affiliate or does that just help you sell as you are more convincing as a satisfied consumer?

    Didn’t understand the “blank cheap” ..Did you just label your post ie: “prednisone cheap”? actually using the name of the medicine you were advertising or did you opt for a different keyword in place of “blank”(I understand you don’t want to give away your niche), but it is important for me as a brand newbie to understand even a fraction of what I’m reading right now..as my brain is caught in a net of internet verbage and I’ve just skimmed the surface!

    I’ll let you get back to sweet Josh..on a diff. note, emailed you from my yahoo, regarding what we discussed, have some ideas ..Let me know if your “white list” is working and has taken me out of the dump!

    P.S. Congrats on your new place and safer environment. Peace of mind is an incredible thing isn’t it, esp. when you have a chid to think of.

    Hi Anna! Actually it wasn’t even in my signature. I made a post specifically about this medicine - and put the affiliate link right in it. :) With Topix.net it actually shortens the link for you - so if it is a long awkward affiliate link the readers don’t see the entire thing. The other place I posted in (one of the four places) was one of the healthcentral.com’s forums related to the health issue and medicine. :) I guess it was also indexed by Google. :)

    Hi Holly, That totally rocks! (Yay I finally figured out how to get a comment posted!). Ya know…I bought your ebook last Aug and it was all greek to me…last night I read it again for the oh, say, 15th time, and I now understand Everything in it! So even going slowly I’m making sales now!
    I was just thinking of looking into this kind of niche, you sure just confirmed it for me, thanks mate!
    Glad to hear you have new digs now too, that would not have been a nice experience for you and Josh at all.
    My bf now wants us to go to Thailand so he/we can train at the kickboxing/martial arts place that opened itself up to westerners a few years ago. Thanks to you he now realizes it’s possible with IM. I’d love to meet up if we ever do it!

    Hi Holly,

    I really love this. I am very much into natural remedies but know that sometimes prescription medication must be used. I have no experience using online pharmacies. I’ve thought about it in the past, but you never know about some of those companies. A recommendation from you is all that I need to feel secure in passing this on. I am definitely going to include this in my work to assist my people who still need prescriptions as well. Thank you soooo much.

    Warmest regards,
    Lisa Jo Ray
