Are You Confused About PPC Affiliate Marketing?
May 9th, 2008 by

I’ve recently taken on a one-on-one coaching student. He’s doing very well, he has 2 profitable campaigns right off the bat!
There’s something he said that really struck me : One of the reasons that he wanted to work with me on a one on one basis was to avoid getting confused.
What did he mean by that?
Think about all the enormous amount of information about ppc affiliate marketing out there, let alone affiliate marketing in general.
Just to list a few courses/membership sites : adwordmentor.com, googlecash.com, payperclickformula.com, wealthyaffiliate.com, ppc-coach.com, ppcclassroom.com, quityourdayjob.com, etc, etc, etc!?! These are just a few I remember off the top of my head.
All of the above courses (more or less) teach different strategies for doing ppc affiliate marketing. So which one do you follow?
On a related note, I was sharing some of my ppc strategies with Anik Singal and he told me flat out that me and Jeremy Palmer have totally different strategies for doing ppc affiliate marketing. Both Jeremy and I are both very successful affiliates, so who do you follow?
Here’s the deal…
There’s more than one way to slice and dice an onion and there’s also more than one way to do ppc affiliate marketing successfully. The worst thing you can do is buy 5 different courses and try to follow all of them - especially if they have conflicting advice - i.e. bid your add to the top, no keep your bid prices low!?! That’s where confusion kicks in.
Overloading yourself with information and getting confused will paralyze you and your business. Follow ONE system and try your best to make it work before you jump to another system for doing ppc.
Once you find a system that works for you, run with it. In time you’ll develop your own system for doing ppc. In my opinion that’s the mark of a true super affiliate, someone who has reached a level of expertise that they are coming up with their own techniques and strategies.

This is what is giving me trouble, there are many many different strategies and ways to go about PPC and it becomes very confusing. What would you suggest as a guide to read or someone to be a mentor for me?
Great article about ppc affiliate marketing.
Paralysis by analysis… Which course do you recommend first
with all this info. overload?
Timely advice.
Thank you,

I’ve been following your blog for some time now. Your articles are fantastic and very inspirational. I am an online marketer and certainly no newbie to making money online. Last year alone a single digital product we promote made 2MM. I’m looking for a mentor to learn ppc, I see so many opportunities come by me on a daily basis, and I’m willing to go the distance to learn ppc inside and out.
What are the requirements for obtaining your services as a mentor? If this is out of the realm of comments I apologize, I just couldn’t find a better way to contact you.
I can be contacted for follow up if your interested in talking about this proposal further.
Have a great weekend Amit!
Where do you offer one on one coaching? I would really like that.
This advice is so simple it hurts my head and makes me want to say why didn’t I realize that! I have been guilty of trying too many things instead of sticking to just one. It only confuses me. Thanks to this piece of info I pledge to pick just one and stick with it. Thank you.
Amit last para basically sums it up. If you keep following what worked for other people and doesn’t work for you, you won’t get any where. Use your intuition and follow your gut feeling, most likely you will stumble upon something that works for you. Finally, I’m making close to 100/day and $30-$40/day in profits from one campaign. This time I wasn’t scared to lose money and used my intuition and experience.
Amit,
I would first like to thank you for sharing such great information on affiliate marketing.
I too would like to know how I can be coached by you.

Amit,
You have made multiple references to your coaching, but always avoid providing more details.
Stop teasing us
Please let us know how we can be coached by you!!
He doesn’t tell you how to be coached by him because he doesn’t want to be bombarded with requests saying “teach me, help me etc”… Not hard to figure out, if he wanted you to know he would have told you.
waynedog:
Then why write a blog is you aren’t interested in giving out valuable information?
Very interesting post, juice also summed it up nicely “Paralysis by analysis”.
I’ve got an idea HOW to get him to respond to one of your Coaching requests….buy one of his T-shirts or Hats in his online shop.
Seriously, Save BIG $$ and read Perry Marshall oe Howie Jacobson.. you’ll learn far more and save TON$$ of $200 an hour on personal coaching
