Whether you listen to classical music or not you know that Mozart, Bach, Handel, Beethoven, all have their own unique & distinctive styles of composing. All very different but yet all completely amazing!
How in the world does this relate to affiliate marketing?
Every PPC super affiliate I know has a very unique style to how they do everything thing form keyword research, to how they setup their campaigns, how they optimize their campaigns, etc. They all have disparate methods and approaches, yet at the end of the day they’re all making big profits.
They’ve found their music.
There’s a million ways to “compose” a ppc affiliate campaign, but to create real music (ie a profitable campaigns) takes some skill.
How do you find your music?
Honestly, it takes a lot of trail and error, testing different methods you’ve learned, and experimenting with different approaches. Getting all the elements to work in harmony will take time.
I know it took me a long time before I found my music.
When I finally started striking the right cords, and start making big profits, I had produced something amazing: a unique style of ppc affiliate marketing.
It took about 6 months AFTER I went full time as an affiliate before I really found my music, my own unique style. I was doing okay as an affiliate using fairly standard methods that I had learned, it was only after I found my own unique approach did I start making big money.
To be a true blue super affiliate you’ll need to find your own music. Modeling someone else’s methods and techniques is a good start, but it won’t make you a true super affiliate.
Have YOU found your music yet?
Hey Amit,
This posting has struck a chord for me, as a music composer that is interested in affiliate marketing. The way that you have slipped in musical terms such as “compose, harmony, striking the right chords, unique style” etc., reveals your passion for ad copy, which i share. I’ve read some of your postings in the last few months and want to thank you for your commitment to contributing your experiences through your blog. As my musical tastes are wide-ranging, I suspect that my affiliate interests will be multifarious. I am currently in the process of finding my niche… my own groove… all in good time.
well said… most people want to listen to the “same” music, but this doesn’t help you to make more money. Find your niche, then find a niche within that niche, and plug away!
Does the RSS feed no longer work. I use the igoogle feature and have not seen any links in 3 weeks. Just curious.
Amit,
I couldn’t agree more.
4 months ago I couldn’t make anything profitable. Once I found my rythem and style, got that one campaign profitable and it got me going. Now things just seem that much easier. I apply the same style to any new campaigns now. It literally just takes one good campaign to get it all started going in the right direction.

good post..
Nope, I haven’t found my music yet. I struck a good note on one campaign but haven’t been able to replicate it in other, more profitable areas. I also can’t figure out how to expand the campaign. It’s rather limited and I just don’t think that I’ve maxed it out yet.
Thanks for the encouraging words though.
