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 morning. 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. Actually it was kind of odd because he was one of the more widely respected and well-known super affiliates of our time. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was getting ready to launch something he called the
Black Ink Project.
Jeremy had acquired his fame back in 2005 when he released an ebook entitled High Performance Affiliate Marketing, which he now makes available for free. In the book he detailed pretty much everything he knew about how to do profitable pay per click marketing. Those things that had earned him a Commission Junction Horizon Award for Innovation in 2005, and more than a million dollars in yearly affiliate income. His book sold more than 5000 copies.
But then he began to sour on the whole idea of dealing with digital products. The industry, it seemed to him, was awash in false promises and unrealistic marketing copy that brainwashed aspiring affiliates and pretty much guaranteed they would be doomed to failure.
So he stopped dealing with affiliates on any large scale, and went off 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 gain that same level of success with pay per click strategies? It didn't work with ebooks, he knew. Very few of his ebook customers ever went on to do much with their newfound knowledge. He was sure that a more hands-on method of teaching was required.
My Black Ink Project Review is a summary of what it was that he eventually came up with.
As for those few lucky affiliates that Jeremy taught directly - well, 4 out of the 5 he mentored went on to earn more than $10,000/month with their pay per click affiliate marketing efforts. One went on (with his business partner) to earn a stellar $4,000,000 dollars over the next two years. You can watch a video from this same affiliate on my site. Clearly the hands-on approach was a great deal more effective than even Jeremy had thought possible.
So when that email from him arrived in my email box that day, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial two thousand students to take part in a course that would take affiliates from a standing still position to one where they were operating in the black. That is to say, they would have profit-pulling campaigns.
The course turned out to be highly successful, and got the thumbs up all-round. But again, Jeremy wasn't entirely satisfied. So he ran a second version of the program, in which he allowed his audience to watch every single thing that he normally did to launch a new campaign. Everything from the niche-selection, to keyword research, site planning and building, and the eventual setting up of PPC campaigns, complete with often overlooked ad-tracking to maximize profits. This course later became 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
