It's the 11th of July and I'm at Mykonos right now, two and a half hours ferry ride from Santorini. I'm here as part of my travel documentaries where I will share how much money I will make with my system. To give you an update, let us look at my Clickbank account and see how much money I made from the 10th of July up to date, which is now the 11th.
Just by looking at my Clickbank account, it shows that I managed to make around $200 in commission while I was touring Mykonos. This immediately increases my commissions up to USD 2,100 which is a good amount of money that pays the bills. If you think that's cool, wait till I get to the juicier part.
Earning a good amount of money through my system is cool, but let me show you the coolest part. Let me show you my email account, I would like you to focus on one particular email which is the one sent by Paypal. It says that I received a USD 1,000 payment. This means that apart from the commissions I made, I also made an extra thousand bucks for selling traffic, totaling the money I made to $1,200.
If you are wondering where'd did a thousand bucks came from, it is the payment for promoting or selling a solo ad. A solo ad is an email-based advertisement bought from other list owners to gain access to an email list by promoting their site. It is usually bought in terms of clicks or the subscribers which are determined by either the number of subscribers you will send emails or the number of clicks your emails will generate.

Payment Made for the Solo Ad
To understand solo ads better, let me give you an example and show you how they work. Let's assume that you want to build a new mailing list and it is within a niche that is new to you. Of course, you want your list to be a quality one to maximize its potential, a list with good subscribers and buyers.
What are Solo Ads?
For you, to do this, you have to buy solo ads in terms of clicks or subscribers from a seller with a huge mailing list relevant to the said niche. To do so you first have to personally approach the owner of the mailing list and then ask if it’s possible to buy clicks. And then show the seller how you will generate the number of clicks you buy. You can send a well-designed opt-in or capture page or creative email that the list owner can use to promote whatever it is you are selling to the subscribers of the particular mailing list.
From there, when the list owner sends a barrage of emails. All the subscribers on that particular list that relates to the freebie you are giving away will now become your subscribers on the list you are building. This is how you legally a mailing list because you and the owner of the list have an agreement.
What happened today is that I managed to sell a good amount of clicks to one of the buyers that made a $1,000 commission. When it comes to solo ads, you have to keep in mind that when buying in terms of clicks, you and the list owner will have to agree on the number of clicks. The owner will give a certain number of clicks and you will generate them by sending emails. Once the agreed amount of clicks is reached then that’s the time you’ll get paid. Again that goes to show that this system is based on sending emails which is a minimal task if you think about it.
To give a recap on what happened. I managed to make a $200 commission in Clickbank and then I got paid for the Solo Ad which worth a thousand bucks. Making my today’s income USD 1,2000. A reminder that this under-promising and then the over-delivering system works. Allowing me to enjoy the best things in life.
