How To Do Affiliate Marketing For The Penniless Affiliate

Your wallet is empty. You have a hunch it could pay off to do pay per click marketing. Maybe you could conquer a niche and begin 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 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. Which was kind of odd because he happened to be one of the most widely respected and well-known super affiliates of today. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was about to launch something that would become known as the Black Ink Project.

Jeremy had acquired his fame back in 2005 when he published an ebook entitled High Performance Affiliate Marketing, which he now makes available for free. In it he detailed pretty much all he knew about how to do profitable 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 yearly affiliate income. His book sold more than 5000 copies.

But then he began to sour on the whole idea of dealing with info products. The industry, it seemed to him, was awash in false promises and unrealistic marketing copy that brainwashed aspiring affiliates and more or less 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 handful of affiliates that he could mentor one-on-one. Was it 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. Almost none of his ebook customers ever went on to do anything 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 took under his wing - well, 4 out of the 5 he mentored soon began 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 in the next two years. You can see a video from this same affiliate on my site. Clearly the hands-on method was a great deal 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 two thousand members to partake 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 proved to be immensely instructive, 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 normally did to launch another campaign. Everything from the niche-selection, to keyword research, site planning and building, and the final setting up of PPC 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 find out more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
