1) It proves that you’re the real deal. How can someone say that they are super affiliates but live in the poorhouse?

2) It gives me a vision to aim for. Someday i wish to live like yours (even if my campaigns are producing crap).

3) People who envy you need to have their head screwed on straight. Instead of opening their mouth, they should work harder to exceed your success.

So far, you’re applying some concepts I read from Tim Ferris 4 hour work week (outsourcing and travelling) and the Secret (dreamboard).

man, someday… ok, now back to PPC Classroom 2.0 and my sh!tty campaigns…

Myself and my other half have been in a beachfront apartment in Queensland for over 2 months now and we’re loving it! We’ve got our internet connection, our affiliate money, and the sun. What else do we need in life?

Sun and happiness – woo hoo!!

I use the free google keyword tool along with the free keyword discovery search tool. I can compile a big list of keywords using those two and that’s all I use. I did use paid tools but at the end its not hard to get “good” keywords using those two free tools. I wouldn’t use paid tools since the keywords I get from the free tools are good enough for me. You just need to think about what keywords users might be typing in your niche and then just expand from there.

Remember, no keyword is a “good” keyword until you test it with your own ad-copies and landing pages.

Some of the fools commenting on your previous post were unbelievable. Why would you want a bigger condo than the one you have? I personally just can’t see why I would want a bunch of gigantic rooms that I’d just feel guilty for not using.

And you’re right Amit, your posts talking about your lifestyle ARE inspiring. I’m not an affiliate marketer – am making my money other ways right now, Adsense based websites and blogging – but I definitely want a good lifestyle. I’m going to Spain for 4 months in August and nearly all the money has been made on the net. I’m currently turning my biz into machine so I don’t have to do anything to maintain it. Damn it I want to travel and do the stuff you do it Amit!

As for the decor which some people critcised, I can see Shilpi’s hands all over that. I don’t even know her but it screams “Indian woman” at such loud decibels hehe! I have a lot of Indian friends so I recognise it so well!

I guess I should have re-phrased my question. Here is the new question:

How would you suggest someone go about doing “good” keyword research?

I’ll ignore your rude and sarcastic response.

You know how to use your computer mouse and scroll up and down using the keyboard? On the right site of this blog you’ll see categories, such as Google™ AdWords or PPC Marketing. You can go through the links as starters. There’s your direction.

But I keep wondering how your mouth fits into that crummy apartment.

At the end of the day, it’s your money and you can spend it however which way you want.

I don’t read this blog to get investment advice. So, could you direct me to a good post you’ve had on how one should do keyword research especially if they are still a newbie?
