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 :

rec,
thank you for that uplifting message! I have done all the things you mentioned, I just need to figure out how to promote better, as you said.
It is hard. There too many web sites that push the easy way, which there is no such thing. I have myself in the past wasted too much time with these long winded sales copy
web sites. If you do Clickbank, try CBEngine.com. For 10 dollars you can get a three month membership. Basically it is a site helps you sort thru all the clickbank stuff and pick out the good stuff. Youtube.com has some good help videos to, like Brian Johnson of My-Affiliate-Programs.com.
Gee, I hope Amit doesn’t mind me plugging some other sites.
Because you also need to check out http://www.affiliatesummit.com
and watch Amit’s video for free. What it all comes down to is that its hard and will take some investment of money and time. But you have a lot of support on your side and you are in the right place. God Bless.
Amit,
Hey, the email about Derek Beau, really sent me over the
edge! To give me (us) an edge. I stayed on his site for about an hour reading the information you give away more then just about any IM’er that I have ever seen, and you expect nothing in return, unbelievable.
As I watch the internet marking world evolve, the products become more expensive $200 – $300 – $400 dollars, give me a break… please. The products might be worth it, but not for my wallet, during the growing stage . Keep doing this, Great Job!!
Cheers,
Jim Novak
Amit said it only took him four months to figure out this affiliate marketing thing! Although I’m not sure if that includes the prior reading time he put in (does it?) or if the 4 months was the practical part – the actual setting up of websites, ppc, etc, etc.
Once I figure out this keyword issue, I think I’ll do much better.
I would not try comparing time frames with others. Everyone is differant. Given Amit does have a PHD in physics I believe, perhaps somethings were easier for him, maybe. But I bet those 12 hours days he mentioned really were the key. For everyone it has been hard as well, so you’re not alone. Just stay focused and work at it. I’ll bet you’ll be successful in 2 months.
Hi Amit,
Can you recommend using Macros to speed up Excel usage for keywords/feeds and recommend any add-ons you touch on?
Cheers

hello Amid, i checked out Derek’s site today and to my shock there was a latest update saying that the tool was no longer available for download and was no longer supported.
here is the update:
“Latest Update: This tool is no longer available for download and will no longer be updated or supported. If you have already downloaded it, please delete it and cease using it immediately. An explanation post will follow soon. I am very sorry to anyone who I have inconvenienced or let down.”
Do you know anything about this?
Has the ‘other 500$? tool decided to Hammer down on Derek?
Keep u informed.
Thanks Rob

Source code copyright infringement I bet. I was building something like this but with excel. So since Amit did the same thing, I’m looking forward to seeing his version.
there’s a copy someone uploaded here if anyone is looking for it.

Fortunately Derek released it under the GNU license so it’s freely distributable. I’ll try and put an active copy up on my site for people to use as well.
