“6,000 New Subscribers Under 72 Days” - Live Challenge!
Yeap, you read that right!
It’s gonna be one hell of a challenge but I’ll give
it a go nonetheless.
I either fail miserably or score spectacularly
Here’s the story:
I’ll be launching my new product come 27th April. This leaves
me with about 72 days to build a nice pre-launch list and
I’m targeting the figure - 6,000
Yes, ‘that’ product. Secret Article Profits
Why 6,000?
Just because it seems BIG enough and “out-of-reach”
enough to present a very real and challenging problem for me.
I thought this will be a very fun challenge and I trust that you can
glean something useful off it 
Furthermore, publicly stating my intentions
would have a very positive psychological bearing on me
to successfully complete this challenge.
Even if I failed(GASP!) and garnered just 1/4 of the
amount….I’d have built up 1500 new subscribers from scratch!
I’ll be updating and posting my progress here so do
check back regularly
Day 1
The very first source of traffic I’ll be looking for
will be from forums and I’m using these 3 forums for now:
(1) WarriorsForum (2) Digital Point (3) Wicked Fire
The ‘method’ behind this form of traffic generation is
very simple. Slap on a killer signature and participate
very actively for the period of days leading up to launch.
This traffic converts well because my link gets seen multiple
times. I’ve built my ‘name’ up in that forum (WarriorForum) and
it is more of a ‘non-threatening’ link plus…
….we see the power of SOCIAL PROOF in the forums. More on
that in the next post/update.
By the way, I’m curently converting slightly over 50% of the traffic from WF.
*Current Subscriber Count: 18 !
Hey, the least you could do now is to post a comment to encourage me! :p

Go for it! Warrior and Digital Point are excellent choices. But WickedFire? That forum has very crude language, some very questionable ethics of late and just too childish IMHO. I think you can do much better.

Wow, that is quite a challenge. Good Luck I think you could do it. It would sure be better if you were in a Master Affiliate program and getting paid on a two tier system.
