How Yaro made $211,969 while Traveling The World

Making Money while travelling  the world! Isn`t this a dream of every online marketer? I know mine is. And I am gonna do it one day. You` l see!

Well Yaro Starak (very successful entrepreneur if you don`t know him) was on a 8 month trip and made over $200,000 in the meantime. I was watching a video how he made it on his website and decided to analyze some things.

First are his two own membership sites that he launched during his trip. First one made him $211,969 from August 2008  to February 2009 with only 500 members.

And the second made $13,936.46 first week, averaging $ 20,000.00 per month. He was using Clickbank to monetize it.

The key is a creating a strong, targeted list and market them what they need.

Yaro presents two case studies from his two students. I like this because I can check their websites and analyze them.

Case Study No. 1

Fran Kerr runs an acne treatment blog on www.highonhealth.org. As you can see it is monetized by direct ads and adsense but the key is an opt-in box that captures emails. You can see it below as an pop-up and on top right.

Another way Fran makes money is by using a special landing page and sends PPC traffic to it. It is a short little landing page with opt-in box.

Case Study No. 2

Jay Jay runs freemagiclive.com and also uses Yaro`s advice on creating a email list and then monetize it. He is video blogging and posting his videos on YouTube. His site is 3 months old and receiving 20-30 optins per day! Now this is nice.

Magic Live opt-in box

This is the Opt-in Box he is using! He enhanced it with a small video, but the idea is the same as for the example above.

What do you think? Do you have any experience with email marketing and membership sites? I am going to put an Opt-in box on my blog for sure.
