Money is tight. You have a hunch it could pay off 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 incessantly with those 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 came an announcement from someone whose newsletter I had been on for a quite some time. But unlike those other annoying affiliate marketers, this one rarely sent me anything. Actually it was kind of odd because he happened to be 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 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 everything he knew about how to do successful pay per click marketing. The kind of things that had earned him a Commission Junction Horizon Award for Innovation in 2005, and more than a million dollars in annual affiliate income. His book went on to sell more than 5000 copies.
But then 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 new affiliates and pretty much 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 teach 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 pay per click strategies? It didn't work with ebooks, he'd found. Very few of his ebook customers ever went on to do anything 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 finally came up with.
As for those fortunate affiliates that Jeremy took under his wing - 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 an amzing $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 method was far more effective than even Jeremy had suspected was possible.
So when that email from him popped into my email box that morning, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial two thousand members 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 completely 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 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 which builds these affiliate review sites for you, which I give away to course participants. You can learn more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
