Bogus Ad

Google Affiliate and Hiring Scams!

This morning Good Morning America warned against the scams popping up from advertisers tricking affiliate and online business hopefuls into believing that Google is Hiring. I myself have seen many of these bogus ads out there and have been waiting for these idiots to get nailed.

One HUGE give away that you should always be aware of with these jerks is when they have pictures on the pages that suggest they are somehow affiliated with the giants out there. Look out for this type of headline. I have been getting this same ad for two months now. It’s baloney and you know it!

Those of you who know me well know that I never really get too heated but this morning it hit me pretty hard. It is this type of crap that makes the good guys look really bad. I say enough is enough with the misleading ads.

If you have a great product (and some of these dingbats actually do),JUST SELL IT THE RIGHT WAY! You guys are making fools out of yourselves and disrupting the livelihood of those that are running respectable companies out there. I say shame on you all! Online marketing and affiliate marketing can and has made a lot of people very wealthy. But you dinks are laying out a recipe for failure for the newbies who need to learn.

For those of you that are familiar with Ewen Chia, you know he is one of the worlds most influential affiliate marketers. Aside from that he has one of the largest product offerings our there that are actually worth the money.

His biggest asset in my personal opinion is that he always gives first. Additionally, he stays true to his word and has a wealth of knowledge that he shares with anyone associated with him.

His training and programs are top notch.

Keyword Elite 2.0 By Brad Callen

It’s not enough that new affiliate have to struggle with being confused about keywords but even once they figure out how to use them there is still the competition with the big boys out there.

I myself have struggled in the past with this issue. It does take some time to nail it down if you do not have the right mindset and training for it not to mention staying on good terms with Google.

I could go on and on about this subject but I just happen to know of a guy that knows keywords like the back of his hand.

If you don’t already follow him and what he puts out there, you are missing the BIG BOAT O’ Cash…

So instead of me writing for hours on the subject I am going to drop my ego and gracefully hand you over to the guy that knows it all way better than I do.

BRAD C. is the hotshot on this one..

NO MORE BEING CONFUSED ABOUT KEYWORDS

Take it away Mr. Callen

This is keyword elite 2.0 that will get your affiliate blood boiling!

When You Start Paying for Traffic!

Understanding PPC can be a bit overwhelming for the newer affiliate marketer. What PPC stands for is PAY PER CLICK. Now, the better known company that sells or actually auctions off advertising is Google Adwords. There are others out there kids!!! Google is Great though if you know how to play ball.

Google Adwords is pretty easy to start using once you understand all the ins and outs of it.

I was unaware until last week during a Webinar of how many affiliates do not understand the whole PPC thing.

While I will not go in to great detail on it in this post, I will say that until you get a grasp of how it works you may want to stick with organic traffic when starting out and then once you start to get your feet wet and have a clear understanding of affiliate marketing then you can start with a PPC campaign. I go over this in my training tutorials on the advanced level.

When you are ready to start paying for click as well as “impressions” (which is a whole different enchilada by the way), there is a formula that you will want to always keep in mind.

PROFIT AND LOSS

One Way to simplify this is to look at what your EPC (earnings per click) is against your CPC (cost per click).

So…The Simple Equation?

EPC-CPC= PROFIT or LOSS

If your earnings per click get you $3.00 and your CPC is at $1.20
Your Profit would be $1.80 per click.

Now, If you pay more per click than you are earning per click….NOT GOOD!!!!

This is simple math but sadly many affiliates forget to look at it and lose when they could be earning huge amounts of the green stuff...

This formula is simplified beautifully through a CPA (Cost Per Action)company I recently started using.  I will talk more on them in a later post as well.

CPA networks are were the Super Affiliates like to hang out and rake in the cash from the hottest offers that are out there. You do have to be approved as an affiliate but once you are you get some VERY HOT INSIDER INFO on how to run successful PPC and PPI campaigns.

I hope this little tidbit was of value to you!

Affiliate Stumbling Blocks Removed!

Hello fellow affiliates!

I was asked to write a post on the stumbling blocks that affiliates come across and how to remove them. While this is a very large subject to cover, I am going to do it a real quick lay out so you can finally wrap your brain around it and move forward with your affiliate business.

Here are a list of the biggest stumbling blocks most affiliate marketers come up against.

STUMBLING BLOCK #1:

  1. Confusion about all the information flying around on the internet and not being able to focus on one thing at a time.

REMOVAL:

  • Get rid of the urge to keep switching from one thing to the next. Just cut it right out of your mind set. If you keep searching constantly you will use up all of your valuable time and never get to the next level of your affiliate business. You absolutely must finish one task at a time.

Check List:

  1. Get a domain name
  2. Get a hosting account
  3. Get an auto responder account

If you have not done these simple little steps yet. STOP HERE and GO DO IT RIGHT NOW!!!!
