If you have not heard of Derek Beau, he is one of the top affiliate bloggers on the net, in my opinion. Derek’s blog is a veritable online ebook, a step by step guide really, on how to make money online.
Derek recently introduced a cool new tool, The Campaign Builder & Keyword Mixer. It’s an absolutely free tool that allows you to setup your campaigns, ads, and keywords in bulk.
In Derek’s own words here’s how this tool works:
“The concept is actually very simple. You take two sets of keywords, set some options, and write some ads. The tool will then create the CSV data required to import everything into your AdWords account. All you have to do is copy/paste it into AdWords Editor.
The beauty of this is that it will create highly targeted ad groups with custom text ads for each of them. You really have to try it to see exactly how it works, but it is possible to create, for example, 300 ad groups with 10 keywords and 3 custom ads each, in under 10 minutes. The end result is an expanded keyword list, higher CTRs for your long-tail keywords, and higher keyword quality scores.”
Speed PPC does exactly, more or less, what Derek’s tool does, except it costs a whopping $497. I would strongly recommend you download Derek’s tool and at the very least learn how this bulk method of building campaigns works. It will dramatically cut down the time it takes you to launch a campaign and increase your profitability big time as a result.
Before any of these bulk tools came on the market I developed a method using Adwords Editor, Excel + some powerful add ons to setup Adwords campaigns at blazing speeds.
This method allows me to setup hundreds, even thousands, of lazer targeted adgroups, in minutes. Using this method and other advanced techniques, I’ve developed a system to scale my affiliate business so I can launch a 500 keyword campaign and a 10,000 keyword campaign in roughly the same amount of time. As you can imagine, this has allowed me to skyrocket my profitability.
Plus I also manage all my campaigns using these advanced methods, which includes everything from testing ad copy and adjusting bids in bulk.
If you’re interested in learning exactly, step by step, how my system works, I divulge all my secrets in an info product I’m developing with Andrew Wee called Super Affiliate Accelerator. This product includes a series of interviews, camtasia videos, and case studies on how I : setup, launch, optimize, and manage my campaigns.
This product is basically the bonus we offered to anyone who purchased PPC Classroom through my link.
If you’re interested in purchasing a pre-launch copy of this product (it goes for $297) please email :

GREAT!
I did purchase PPC and STILL waiting for it in my mail. I live in Norway so I need to be patient… Your bonuses are DEFINITELY teaching me the “missing links” in PPC soooo my next question is:
Are you going to show the “bonus-group” how to use Derek’s tool in the near future?
Thanks a million for your help so far..I almost purchased Speed PPC meaning you saved me $497…

still pawning stuff, eh? why don’t you make it free like the product you just recommended?
If you keep trying to offload “stuff” on your readers, it will eventually chase them away or they might even begin to distrust you.
Susan,
I am sorry, but I completely disagree with you. I have read every post in this entire blog and I learned more about what it really takes to be a super affiliate than I have from any of the $97 ebooks I have read. If Amit wants to charge for a tool that he created and uses he has every right to do so.
If you want it for free then you should put the time in to learn on your own as Amit did and then create your own tool to fit your needs.
I think that it is funny that some people think that once you reach a certain level in online marketing you are obligated to tell the world how you do it for free.
Sorry for the rant Amit, but I see this attitude in the comments alot and it is seriously annoying.
Keep up the great work Amit
Andy
andy,
yes – you are right. I should put in the work and learn this stuff on my own (and I will). However, if you tell me just how much money you are making (as amit does) and how good your lifestyle is, then… I come to your blog and I see that you are selling $10 t-shirts, classes, software, etc, etc…is it not natural for me to wonder whether you are in fact, making as much money as you claim?
but you’re right – it’s his blog and he can do whatever he wants and sell whatever he wants, but the more he pawns, the more skeptical i become about how much he’s really making (not that it matters to him or anyone else, it’s just my opinion).
I haven’t seen too much about what the other PPC Classroom referrers offered but I can say that my man has taken care of his peoples. The Accelarator is a bargain at twice the price given the amount you will learn just watching Amit set up a campaign. If you’ve ever set up a campaign manually, watching him use Excel and AdWords Editor to create a huge number of keywords and ad groups in minutes is like a light bulb going off. If you have learned from what Amit has written in this blog, you will learn a lot more from this course. Thanks again Amit and Andrew!
Awesome Amit!
Hey Susan, it’s natural to be skeptical and I know how you feel, I’ve felt the same way before about a lot of affiliate marketers. What I’ve found though is that good marketers make money in more ways than just one and try to monetize any opportunity or avenue they have.
Amit’s blog is the perfect place to blend both free content as well as promote additional products. In fact, I would distrust him if he WASN’T leveraging his blog to make money because it would show he’s not a good marketer and he would only be leaving money on the table.
Perhaps I’m biased because I know Amit, I am good friends with him, and I know a lot about his business, however, you can take my word for it, he does extremely well as a Super Affiliate, and will probably do just as well if not better as an Information Marketer among other things.
Susan,
The bottom line is this. Amit offers a lot of free advice, and very good free advice at that. To my knowledge he has promoted PPC Classroom, now he is going to sell his own tool, and yes sells his t-shirts. Those are the only three things that he has, in your words “offloaded or pawned” on us.
Just look at some of the other super affiliate blogs. Almost every post has an affiliate link in it even if it is just a link to azoogle or some other network, plus they have banner ads, adsense, and “recommended” tools/services. Blogs like this are few and far between and we should be grateful for people like Amit and Derek.
10$ to the first person who hacks the server and gets everyone free access. Ah amit you’ve resorted to pimping ebooks now. Ugh.
For the love of god Amit, don’t try to help people like you have been. I can’t believe the people who are bashing you about creating an info product.
No one bashed you about creating this “free” info product did they? Nope. They would just show up and read the info then go on their merry way.
But create a more advanced look into your business (as many were begging for) and sell it, as you deserve to do so, and people start whining!
Amazing..

bluehatseo is not pimping anything.
I only started questioning amit’s street cred when he mentioned jerry palmer. I bought the ebook, which was like 200 pages long and i didn’t think it was very good (others may have a different opinion).
Then, I started seeing full page ads he was taking out in revenue magazine and I was look what? eventually, I just stopped reading his blog because I got tired of being pimped.
It was like: “if you want to make as much money as me, you need to buy this, this and this (from me of course!).
Anyway, I’d like Amit or anyone else to tell me what tools they used when they were first starting out. Did they buy $300 dollar e-class programs or was it reading up on all the free information on the website.
Thank you
