Make Money With Affiliate Programs

Lately I had the chance to put my hands on a review copy of the new version of Adwords TNT. I wanted to find out if it’s really that good or just an over-hyped small fish in the big sea of informational products. I actually know the author, Owen Lee, personally so I knew that he won’t release anything average. He’s a great internet marketer and has enormous knowledge in terms of PPC, especially Adwords. This Adwords TNT Review tries to give a brief glimpse. Adwords TNT where TNT stands for Tracking ‘N’ Testing is a set of brand new video courses on boosting Adwords click-through rate (CTR) and conversion rates.

Introduction

In the very first moment after getting the login informations from Owen I was very surprised because unless other Adwords products, the whole course is on video, using a slide format. Man I just love this way of education, watch and learn - lazy me

I’ve watched all the videos. Yes I did and it took me about 2 days. Two days that were followed by one night, when I turned the whole knowledge, injected by Adwords TNT, into action and customized all my Adwords campaigns, some of them I even wiped out.

What exactly offers Adwords TNT?

First of all, Adwords TNT is, very different from the other Adwords programs I’ve seen so far in the market. It does not deliver yet another “latest trick of Adwords”; nor does it require any latest “automatic” software. In fact, the whole course revolves around what even the beginner knows as important - tracking and testing.

What’s so special about Adwords TNT?

It focuses on the most important thing by using Adwords professionaly: Testing and Tracking in order to systematically improve the results and increase profits. Adwords TNT contains 10 quality videos that takes you by the hand through the art of science of tracking and testing Adwords (and YSM, Adcenter, too). I had to listen very carefully, some lessons I even watched more than twice because it was packed with useful informations to improve my “ordinary” campaigns.

Yes, Adwords TNT rocks

Indeed, I do admit that I know the author personally, but I’m a suspicious human being by nature. Let me give an objective and honest review here, and yes I also admit there is absolutely no hype or false promise in this product. In fact, they tell you right away that you will need money to earn more money with Adwords because it is a tough game (that’s why I’m into SEM, and I am improving on any product I review here, getting better and better with it, Kudos to to Adwords TNT Team here). Owen and Rachit are not the the type of persons who release sort of lame 10page products, which are mostly mash ups from the Google Learning Center.

How much can I earn from it?

Will it double your income within a week, like what so many other “hype-filled” products claimed? I don’t believe it can… just as I don’t believe any other product can. In fact, even Dayal and Lee said that’s “highly improbable”.

So, how can Adwords TNT earn me money?

I truly believe that anyone can follow the exact step-by-step methods outlined in Adwords TNT and make a killing within a short time. Indeed, constantly and systematically improving your Adwords efforts will sooner or later beat all your competitors, and Adwords TNT shows you exactly how to do it. As I mentioned above, after consuming Adwords TNT I immediately took it into action and now I just checked the stats and it looks like I actually cut my expenses by 50% the day after, and today by even 55%, with nearly the same CTR. (Before: 351 Clicks, Day after: 340 Clicks, Today: 366 Clicks).

After this intense time spending on TNT, I reckon that Adwords TNT must be something like the holy grail of how to master Adwords and there’s nothing else comparable in present times.

Dear internet marketer fellows

Most of us play the “Adwords game” on a regular basis, you probably already know that the play field became lot different, some would say tougher.
In fact, the drastically increasing number of PPC advertisers is making Adwords more and more competitive and complex. Simple tricks or techniques that could turn a good profit months or even just weeks ago may fail miserably now. The bar is constantly raised not only because new savvy marketers enter the playground but also because some of those who lost money had learned their lessons and studied their market inside out. Many newbies dump a lot of money - Googe ads for free are rare if you don’t have an Adwords Coupon handy. Summarized, it’s harder and harder for a beginner advertiser to beat competition. But you can still do that if you know how to gradually and systematically optimize your results in a short time.
That’s where Adwords TNT (AdwordsTrack ‘N’ Test) appears on scene, to teach you exactly what to do, to gain ground in the competition..
It’s NOT another “latest” trick or fancy tool. In fact, it revolves around what we all know as important scientifically tracking and testing your way to the top.

Check out the brand new Adwords TNT Review tomorrow, only here on thefinestclub.com - because we know how to make money online with affiliate programs.

The reason I bought “The Rich Jerk” is simple, many respected Internet marketer friends recommended it after they’ve read it.

I was enormously skeptical when I first had a look at The Rich Jerk website, but I was converted within 1 or 2 pages of the program. In that period (Around March - June 07) after purchasing The Rich Jerk, I made more money than I did in the four previous months, and these were my very first months into Internet Marketing. To be honest I did already know parts of what was revealed in the book, but I also knew that there were a lot secret-type informations in it, useful for every internet marketer .

I’ve been marketing online for a few months only, so I purchased a LOT of stuff, and was seriously confused and disoriented by all those books and programs floating around. The great news is, I actually learned a few new things that would give me an edge. At my level, that’s what I’m constantly looking for - some little thing that my competitors aren’t doing that will give me that edge.

I’m selling digital or affiliate products since one year now and am the type who takes immediate action when I learn something new, so that book was like perfect for me because it explaines the things simple and out of the box for field work. I don’t like that old-fashionate marketing language who tries to change your mind using NLP, tell you the same shit again and again and again on every page, instead of just giving you facts and case studies.

Well then: The book is split into 5 sections.

Section 1 - How to create a top-notch affiliate website and landing pages which actually convert

Actually the first is also one of my favourite parts of this book. It explains how to create good converting affiliate pages.

Section 2 - Unique Search Engine PPC Strategies

Granted, I’ve never used this tactic before to generate revenue. I had read this book but trust me if you take the rich jerk’s advice there is some serious money to be made from this.

Section 3 - Search Engine Optimization Strategies

This section isn’t that big. It’s more like SEO for beginners with an affiliate marketing touch. In my case implemeting these tips were very effective. Summarized, this part of the book explains how to reach high search engine (Google, MSN, Yahoo) rankings and shows posibilities how to promote and optimize your site.

Section 4 - How to sell your own informational products

Also check out my post about selling your own ebook online It mainly convers what I told you. I would expect there would be a lot of money in it but i haven’t tried it so can’t be sure. I will take a look at it soon.

Section 5 - Buying wholesale and selling it on Ebay

Nowadays more and more people created a huge passive income doing this, but there is still plenty of money to be made.The author provides good informations about ways of dropshipping and where to find wholesalers. There is also a list of scams around, ways people get ripped off in this business, so if you’re considering to get into this business this would be must read chapter.

Section 6 - Beginners guide

This part contains informations regarding the various online money making programs around. All the new programs are covered.

Conclusion:

Honestly: The Rich Jerk is a great ebook and sincerely I can and do suggest you to get it. These are techniques that work and it would take you half a year plain reading anywhere else to get those informations packed into this internet marketers gem. I have made money using the techniques he pictures. Five stars!

This morning I had an enlightenment: Why not just publish an own e-book and distribute it online?

It’s so easy.. besides writing one and providing good quality content though

But after taking that hurdle, there are so many benefits, if you are smart enough it will be a win situation anyway. You could either distribute it using an own website (With integrated payment solution like paypal or any independent affiliate network will do it). Another option, and maybe the easiest one, is to just create a A+ landing page and sell the product trough clickbank.

The advantages of informational products “e-products” are plain vanilla:

• They can be created with little money. When I started I paid for a domain, hosting and a free Word to PDF convertor.
• They can be reproduced in any quantity. It is as simple as copying a file. Even if you sell a million copies, production costs remain zero.
• Shipping costs and problems around shipping are completely eliminated (You can deliver them by instant download or mail, so the time-lapse between purchase and delivery is neglegable.).
• The problems around keeping an inventory are completely gone.

Got it?
The problems publisher of paper books have to face are almost inexistent…

Stay tuned

Good afternoon dear online marketing fellows!

Today I got another goodie for you. A brand new review of a famous scene veteran: Adwords Miracle.

If you don’t know what to read after consuming all the material in the Adwords Learning center, this e-book is your choice.

Let’s get started. Chris (The author) has included a straighforward guide kept in easy to understand language so that even the freshest beginners can get started. The book is divided into 5 chapters and has about 108 pages.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

The first couple of pages cover how to get started with Google Adwords. It’s information that’s pretty much available in the Adwords Learning Center.

Chapter 2 - Basics

This deals with setting up your Adwords account, organising your account and transactions.

Chapter 3 - Writing Your Ads

Actually one of the best parts of this book is when he explains by saying:

“If I had to grade all my Adwords skills from a scale from 1 to 10, I would be a moderate 5-7 for everything apart from writing ads, where I would grade myself as a solid 10″

This part is an essential reading for people just starting out with Adwords and a useful refresher for existing Adwords users.

Chapter 4 - Campaign Management

Do not bid on top positions. Position 3 and 4 are better. This is the main claim of this part. Illustrated by a hands-on experiment. Conclusion: Indeed the first positions are getting a lot of clicks but not that many sales, because the users don’t decide if they buy a product or not whether your ad is on top or on a lower position. For sure you save a lot of money not bidding on top positions! Position 1 is good if you got deep pockets though. Neverthelesss gets alot of attention.

I enjoyed the opinions and experiences Chris and I are sharing: Starting with a rather small daily budget for any particular campaign and then increasing it as the results start to show success.

Summarized: This part of the book is covering bidding strategies and recommendations how to set your budgets. Bidding and budgeting are areas where you can lose your money very fast if you don’t know what you are doing.

Chapter 5 - Special Themes

Maybe the most important part of this chapter are the enhanced strategies for generating affiliate revenue. The fact that big G only allows one Adwords ad for each affiliate target URL resulted in internet marketers either giving up on this strategy or cutting their profit margins by increasing their Adwords bids.

In this part of Adwords Miracle, Chris took this old strategy and made it work under the new Adwords policy. Very interesting man!

Conclusion:

Adwords Miracle is a classic. If you want some deeper knowledge about Adwords, get it! It should be part of any internet marketeres e-book collection because it shows you valuable tricks using Adwords which pay of in a short time. Especially I love the “Skimming” method. I also admire the idea of starting with a small set of keywords and working up after seeing good profits. Using Adwords Miracle techniques I could lower my Adwords spendings by 110% (From 400$/day to 190-200$/day). If you’re a newbie be careful, Adwords needs a little learning curve though. In the end Adwords Miracle is simply one of the best recently released books, and if you were to implement the strategies there’s no reason why you wouldn’t make cash out of it. The advice on skimming and landing pages is worth the price of this gem alone.

Keyword Elite is a professional tool for keyword research. Many claim it is actually the best available. It was developed by Brad Calle, a well-known marketer and SEM expert. Keyword Elite is not inexpensive. With a price tagged at $176, it is a rather costy piece of software. Let’s see if it’s worth the bucks.

There are mainly 5 options to choose from when you start Keyword Elite.
Feature 1 - Analyze Pay Per Click Listings - Let you find low-cost and high to moderate traffic keywords that are considered to make you money.

Feature 2 - Create A Keyword List - This feature allows you to build a keyword list up to 60,000 in one session.

Feature 3 - Select A Keyword List - Quickly grab your keyword lists and prepare it for your Adwords campaigns and page builder software - With just a couple clicks you’re done.

Feature 4 - Analyze Keyword Competition - Allows you to quickly see how hard it will be to rank well for a specific search term. You can easily see if your competition is ranked well by “accident”, or if they’re going to be tough to outrank. This can save you days of wasted research time.

Feature 5 - Spy on Adwords Competition - Gives you the capability to track which keywords, and how long your competitors are bidding on them in Google Adwords. Then, take that list of guaranteed profitable keywords and plug them into your own Adwords campaign.

Conclusion:

I have been using Keyword Elite ever since it was released and never regret it. The keyword research features and featured tools are amazing and would cost plenty more if sold separately. This piece of software made my affiliate-marketers life much easier. Definitively a must-have!

The simplest way is to just directly put the affiliate link into an AdWords ad.

First get yourself an AdWords account. (Of course you can use Yahoo SEM as well) then you signup for an affiliate account on clickbank for instance.

After getting the accounts activated you start a campaign and promote your ad with the included affiliate link.

Tips:

Don’t pay more than 0,25/Cents a click in Adwords. If you make higher bids you won’t make a lot of profit.

Concentrate on certain countries. Maybe even translate the ads to other languages.

A good idea would actually if you use a translated landing-page for every country with using the appropriate language used in that country. You can just translate the texts of your affiliate programs website. Yes, you are mostly allowed do use all the texts/images on the website.

Try not to use the common keywords like “buy viagra”. The competition is just to high there. Break them down to countries like “buy viagra in Pakistan” or something like that. Use your imagination.

If you want to get an expert on this I strongly recommend the tactics described in the Rich Jerk EBook.

Always go straight and remember: just do it.

Well, what I heard on forums is that some guy made 3k off a site selling this on the first day. So that got me interested.

I then bought Google Assassin for a friend, because I wondered how a “newbie” would perform on this. His background: familiar with making homepages and a bit HTML, a bit of SEO, but no background in marketing or affiliate sales. Familiar with investment and basic business concepts. We spent about 5 hours on it yesterday:

• Clickbank explained deeply - all the infos are there so you can get started
• It explains upfront that you have to pay for the adwords, it doesn’t discuss how to set a budget though.
• I’m impressed with the product selection and recommendations - no wonder it’s top listed on Clickbank!
• You the informations on how to discover profitable, low-cost keywords. This tool spies on hundreds of your competitors to find the most profitable words, saving you money.
• “Smart Technology” analyzes word combinations to deliver your secret expected profitability score. This tool is like having a machine that prints out “Get Out Of Google Jail” cards. PPC marketers take note.
• Auto-creatation your tracking codes with easy to use Automatic Keyword Tracker. Like every part of your new Affiliate Marketing strategy, tracking should now take little effort.
• In the updated version is a feedback mechanism - if you need mentoring.

In the end we got it running it generates about 100$/day. A bit disappointing when looking at other examples. Even though it’s a masterpiece of it’s kind. Check it out!

Affiliate Elite is a software that will spy on your adwords competitors which won’t do you a bit of good if you don’t understand adwords. You do actually get a 50% monthly recurring commission for affiliate elite. You get 50% for the initial sale and 50% for the monthly subs for the lifetime of the membership. The affiliate commission goes to the last affiliate that send you through his aff link and you bought the product. Doesn’t matter if you ‘ve visited 1000 websites and all of them cookied you, if my website was the last one i’ll get the commission.

I was looking forward to the release to Affiliate Elite for 2 months. I managed to grab my copy of the software and i must say its really awesome. I made a whooping $200 with it within 1 day and am now on 2300$ for January 2008. Its like my money back within the first day of buying the software.

In the end Affiliate Elite is a spy tool to check your competitors keywords on the Adwords program. So that u can buy higher & have more conversions. It’s that simple.
