Another AIS started yesterday
Yesterday, I created a new 1 page AIS site, which sells a product. The package consists of three other products that I had already created over the past few weeks as part of my subscription service. The layout for the page is exactly the same as a layout I had made for a different site. No domain cost as I tagged the page onto one of my other sites, in a subfolder. Maybe, I might make a new domain for it, as it is possible that I will want to sell it off in the future.
I was able to put it all together, zip it up, create the "sales page" and plug it into Digital Product Delivery within about 20 minutes. I then blasted out an email to around 70 people who would be able to use the product - the product is very much linked with a different product I sell. These 70 are buyers of the linked product 
As of right now, I have had about 25 unique visitors on the page, and 2 sales, for a grand total of $42. Hardly going to make my millions with this AIS, but it's another string to the bow, eh?
As the whole set-up only took about 20 minutes, I suppose that $42 is a decent return. I suspect that this AIS will sell more, but if it doesn't, well, I already made my money back.

Out of curiosity, why don't you ever mention details about your AIS sites?

There's no point in doing so - I don't promote my products on this blog. Those readers of this blog who would be interested in my products would be able to find them if they tried
Out of curiosity, why don't you use a real email address?

Ah, I was expecting something more along the lines of not wanting to skew stats. You guys have a modus operandi that I haven't seen on other similar sites.
I had an email forwarder on my domain that I used only for commenting on blogs, and after months of use I began getting piles of spam everyday. That means it was either a) sold, or more likely b) someone's insecure blog database was hacked. Since I never received a legitimate email at that address, there was no point in keeping it.

Well, this blog isn't really an outlet for me to pimp my products to readers - this blog is mainly an outlet for me to talk about what I'm upto, what I have planned, what works, what doesn't.
Most of this blog isn't really even about Internet Marketing. It's more little tidbits of stuff, that a reader (if they tried hard enough) would probably be able to find out lots more.
These days I really only promote a very few products/services on this blog, and these are things that I use on a day-in/day-out basis - that impact my bottom line positively. This blog isn't like others that will promote any old crap just for the sake of a few affiliate sales.
I also try not to post the same claptrap that others come out with - it seems a majority of bloggers will get an email about something, or see something on one of the "big" blogs - and then just copy the info. What's the point - you can read that crapola on 100 other blogs. What you read on this blog, can mostly (though not always), only be found on this blog.
It's a good MO in my opinion
The email question was only rhetorical, really
