Finally a System That Works…
In the world of Internet marketing, there’s a new product that is launched every week (maybe even every day). I know you know about it because you get the e-mails. I’m not saying that all or even any of these products are bad.
Most are probably great in their own light. But, here’s one thing that really bothers me about all these products.
So, the goal of the product is to teach “us” how to make money, right? Yet, they sell the products based on how much that “guru” is earning?
Again, I’m not saying that the guru doesn’t make that much money, I’m sure he/she does. However, how does that help “me?”
Just because someone is good at making money does not mean they’re good at teaching us how to do it. I’m always shocked at how none of them talk about what their “students” make.
Crappy testimonials…
To top it off, a lot of testimonials are general and just say “Oh yea, this course is great…” and most of time the testimonials are just from their “buddies” – I think these hardly carry any value!
How about sharing the “exact” amount that the students are now making 100% thanks to the course that they’re trying to sell us?
Anyways, that was my rant. The reason I thought about it was because, yes, there is yet another course being “re” launched soon. Trust me, if you haven’t heard about it you will.
But I can honestly say, it’s refreshing to see that this one is different.
I was really impressed with what I’m seeing so far. They’re actually proving to us that this course works!
The course is called PPC Classroom and it’s being released by Anik Singal and Amit Mehta (Amit is the author). They released this course back in October of 2008 and it was a blockbuster.
Rumor has it that they had over 7,000 students come into the system and I’ve never (even once) seen a bad review anywhere (even on Warrior forum) about the course.
Well, it turns out that this course actually works! Just in the last 3 months…
- Students have quit their day jobs…
- A student actually saved himself from getting EVICTED
- Students went from making $30 a day to $3,000 a DAY…
All in all, they’re saying that their students now earn, $4,234,789/Year. Very impressive.
I know Anik and Amit well enough to know that they would not lie. Also, they have pictures, names right on their site.
Finally, actual proof.
Well, I know they’re getting ready to re-open the classroom on February 24 th . But, they keep saying there is a BIG surprise coming out on the 23 rd (not sure what that is).
Anyways, I just finished reading an excellent report they have released for free, definitely worth reading – it really proves that they know what they’re doing.

Google Has Released Search Volume
In early July 2008, Google has (finally) released monthly search volume at keyphrase level as follows:
- Approximate search volume for previous month
- Approximate average search volume
This is good news to marketers whom has been using keyword research as they now have access to keyphrase demand (how many people search for a particular keyphrase) in addition to keyphrase supply (how many web pages have a particular keyphrase).
The new information is provided by Google AdWords Tool.
Happy keyword researching!
The Black Ink Project
Jeremy Palmer has launched a new project aimed at new affiliates who are struggling to become profitable.
Background
Jeremy got into affiliate marketing in late 2003. As a new affiliate he learned the ropes very quickly, and started making money shortly after putting a few affiliate links on one of his sites. Back then it was relatively easy to get a top search listing, click costs were low, and the competition wasn’t very savvy. Anybody with a decent looking site and a little traffic could have made money.
Fast forward 5 years to 2008 and the affiliate landscape is completely different. It can take months (sometimes years) to get a top 10 listing in Google, click costs have sky-rocketed, and the competition is a lot smarter. Creating a successful affiliate business in this climate is a lot harder than it was five years ago.
The Lie
Unfortunately, a lot of the people selling e-books and info products would have you believe that making money online is easy.
While it’s possible to make a substantial income as an affiliate, it’s unrealistic to think you can go from $0 to six-figure-success in minutes a day or from buying some automated money-making system.
The Truth
Based on Jeremy’s experience and observations, only a small percentage (less than 10%) of new affiliates ever go on to make any money. Even fewer go on to quit their jobs or become super affiliates.
There are a number of reasons affiliates don’t make it. Here are few of the most common:
- Unrealistic expectations
- Too much time learning and not enough time doing – Most are anxious to learn, but few actually create and execute a well thought out plan.
- Failure to research markets and understand customers
- Lack of technical skills – You don’t have to be a graphic designer or have a degree in computer science, but a basic understanding of how to build and manage websites goes a long way.
There’s no shortage of books, blogs, or forums to help you get started in this business. These learning materials serve as a great guide and reference, but without implementation they’re not very useful.
The Best Way to Learn
In order to become proficient in any skill you must first learn, then do, and repeat. This cycle of continuous improvement is what makes you successful.
What is the Black Ink Project?
In accounting, the term black ink (or operating in the black) is used to refer to a company that is profitable. On the flip side, when a company loses money they’re said to be operating in the red.
The goal of the Black Ink Project is to show affiliates how to bridge the gap between learning and becoming profitable.
The Black Ink Project will help you get over the hump by focusing on the areas where most affiliates fail. The project will help you:
- Set realistic goals, based on your time and budget.
- Develop and launch a campaign from start to finish. At the end of the course, you’ll have a complete action plan and checklist you can use for future sites.
- Research prospective opportunities. Learn out how to avoid potential pitfalls and find the right niche.
- Learn the software, scripts and tools that will help you create and manage your affiliate site.
What’s Next
The Black Ink Project will be delivered throughout the course of two months. Each lesson builds on the next, and it’s recommended that you follow the same timeline when possible.
Most of the sessions will be recorded, and made available on the site shortly after they’re delivered. Jeremy will also be doing some live streams with Q&A sessions throughout the course.
What’s the Price?
Free. Yes, you read that right; it’s not a smudge on your screen. Jeremy decided to kick off the new site by raising the free bar to new heights.
Who Is This Training For?
This training is aimed at new affiliates who have yet to earn a profit or are struggling to earn consistent profits.
Prerequisite: You must read Jeremy free e-book before joining this class. If you don’t have a grasp on the basics you won’t get the most out of this project.
Where Can I Sign Up?
ClickBank Now Accepts Malaysians
A few days ago, I heard rumors from various forums that Malaysians can now sign-up for a ClickBank account.
Now, it’s official – ClickBank’s VP of Operations has confirmed it.
Malaysians can now apply and open a ClickBank account, both as a publisher to sell your own products and/or an affiliate to promote other publishers’ products.
A little history I heard… a long time ago, prior to February 2002, Malaysians could open a ClickBank account but because of the high frauds (refunds, chargebacks, etc), ClickBank had no choice but to bar Malaysians in order to protect the interests of its publishers/vendors and affiliates.
Now, many years later, ClickBank has decided to open its doors to Malaysians again. So, I urge you, my fellow Malaysians, please do not abuse the system.
ClickBank may be the best platform to launch your online business because of the following advantages that ClickBank offers:
- Reach millions of customers worldwide.
- Allow a huge network of experienced affiliates to promote your product.
- Track product sales with extensive real-time reporting.
- Accurate and on-time payments to publishers and affiliates.
- Sell subscriptions, memberships, and digital products that leverage regularly scheduled customer payments with recurring billing.
- Offer installment payments, which allow for customers to purchase and access a single product, but spread out the payments over a period of time after the purchase.
Oh, I nearly forgot, besides Malaysia, a number of other previously banned countries have been approved as well.
Check it out and see if your country is now in the approved list of countries:
10 Day Cash Secret
Neil Shearing doesn’t just take other people’s word for things. He does his own marketing experiments to see what really works. He has just discovered a way to get a brand new website:
- Hit by multiple search engine spiders on its first day.
- Receive traffic from Google on its third day.
- Earn cash from an affiliate sale on its 10th day.
Neil did this without creating a product, without spending a cent on advertising, without creating an email list, and without any promotion from any of his existing lists or websites.
The website was launched on January 30. In February, it generated $3,851 in affiliate sales.
Furthermore, Neil can build websites like this as fast as less than an hour. Building one of these websites is simple using a carefully chose datafeed and a script that Neil’s programmers created for him.
Neil has broken a few gurus’ rules here:
- Duplicate content rule doesn’t seem to apply to this site.
- The “you need lots of backlinks” rule doesn’t seem to matter much here as Neil had only one backlink.
- The so-called sandbox which new websites are supposed to go into doesn’t exist as far as this site is concerned.
How long will this technique work? I’m not sure. My guess is that Neil’s technique will be getting more and more popular and, as we all know, once many people start using a marketing technique it often becomes less effective. So you’ll eventually need to get more backlinks to these websites and inevitably do things to make them more unique.
Bottom line, those who move fast will receive the most benefits… jump on this while it’s fresh.
