Two months ago I made a post about giving a try at affiliate marketing. I surpassed the goals I set in August by a long shot.

Today I have decided to venture into another territory — viral marketing. I am going to spend next week building a web site specifically for the purpose of attracting viral traffic. Its going to be detailed, yet simplified for its intended audience. Its controversial enough that it will probably piss a lot of people off, yet true.

The last blog post I know really helped people involved goals. I said make handwritten lists of specific tasks, keep it right in front of you and cross tasks off as you finish them. I could give you the details about my affiliate marketing successes or what viral marketing strategies I am going to use. Forget it; you can find out all the information on any number of forums or blogs.

Here is what I am going to tell you: How to set a performance goal.

First, look at what you are doing right now. Are you making $10 a day? You can make $30. Are you making $100 a day? You can make $300. Are you making $0 a day? You sure as hell can make $10.

Now, do a hard analysis of what has worked best for you. One of my biggest weaknesses has been abandoning what works getting caught up in low-to-no-profit projects. If you find something that is making you $50 a day, do it again and again and again until it doesn’t work anymore.

There is a downside to this. Some people with large exposure to the poker industry are learning this. Take a page out of investment strategy and diversify those windfall profits — when you get them.

Whether you choose PPC arbitrage, affiliate marketing, viral marketing, or running a content site, I want to hear some success stories from you in 2 months.
