How To Do Affiliate Marketing For The Penniless Affiliate
Money is tight. You think you would like to do pay per click marketing. Maybe you could conquer a niche and start making the kind of money that the super affiliates tease you with in those incessant emails that pour into your mail box every day. So what do you do?
I was asking myself the same question when into my email box popped an announcement from someone whose newsletter I had been on for a couple of years. But unlike those other annoying affiliate marketers, this one rarely sent me anything. Which was kind of odd because he happened to be one of the more widely respected and well-known super affiliates of today. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was getting ready to launch something he called the
Black Ink Project.
Jeremy had made his name back in 2005 when he published an ebook entitled High Performance Affiliate Marketing, which he now gives away. In it he detailed pretty much all he knew about how to do successful pay per click marketing. The kind of things that had garnered him a Commission Junction Horizon Award for Innovation in 2005, and more than a million dollars in annual affiliate income. His book sold more than 5000 copies.
But soon he began to sour on the thought of dealing with digital products. The industry seemed to be awash in false promises and unrealistic marketing copy that brainwashed aspiring affiliates and more or less guaranteed they would fail to succeed.
So he took a break from dealing with affiliates on any large scale, and went away to perform some experiments on a just a few affiliates that he could mentor one-on-one. Could it be possible, he wondered, to teach what he knew how to do so well to others who wanted to reach that same level of success with PPC strategies? It didn't work with ebooks, he'd found. Very few of his ebook customers ever went on to do much with their newfound knowledge. He was sure that a more hands-on approach was needed.
My Black Ink Project Review is a summary of what it was that he eventually came up with.
As for those few lucky students that Jeremy taught directly - well, 4 out of the 5 he mentored went on to earn more than $10,000/month with their PPC-based affiliate marketing efforts. One went on (with his business partner) to earn a stellar $4 million dollars over the next two years. You can see a video from this same affiliate on my site. Clearly the hands-on method was far more effective than even Jeremy had suspected was possible.
So when that email from him arrived in my email box that day, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial 2000 members to take part in a course that would take affiliates from a point where they were making nothing to one where they were operating in the black. That is to say, they would have profit-pulling campaigns.
The course proved to be immensely successful, and got the thumbs up all-round. But again, Jeremy wasn't completely satisfied. So he ran a second version of the course, in which he allowed his audience to watch every single thing that he usually did to launch another campaign. Everything from the niche-selection, to keyword research, site planning and building, and the eventual setting up of pay per click campaigns, complete with often ignored ad-tracking to maximize profits. This course is now known as Black Ink 2.0
For affiliates operating on a shoestring budget, the Black Ink Project will show you how to set up your own profitable affiliate review site from scratch, and spend the least amount of money possible to do it. I even have software that builds these affiliate review sites for you, which I give away to course members. You can learn more about that in my Black Ink Project Review

Download the software from Satellite TV for PC. It is being offered at a steal which will be apparent when you find out how much it should cost and how much it will cost to buy some of the television receivers for computers that are available in the electronics stores. |
Watch TV on Internet Tip #2
Be patient. Television is incredibly popular, but the people who run it are still trying to figure out how best to bring it to the internet without losing revenue. This is one of the reasons that the shows that are offered through streaming video still have commercials. |
Watch TV on Internet Tip #3
Decide which shows you want to watch and then seek them out. Perhaps the station that broadcasts that show has a streaming feed for it, or try a Google search. You are not the only fan of the show. The chances are high that some fan, somewhere, has found a way to put the current episode onto the internet for other people to watch at their leisure. |
