The same thing with AzoogleAds. Looks like we are worse then everybody else in the world.

There are realy super-smart russian affiliates, having very unique and interesting strategies (not black-hat or any of this kind), but they are very limited in opportunities.

I know the profit potential of ClickBank and would really like to test PPC with CB range of products, but ….

I assume he’s not making $10K from CB and spending $10K on Adwords?

Assuming he’s doing a fairly decent job, he should still be making way more than he would be at a conventional job, so why is he hesitating?

I’m studying as well, and really do hope to achieve a sizable income before I graduate! Current income is still chump change

a newly opened google account with daily budget $100 right off the bat can get the kind of traffic needed to do $8k revenue, even with 20 keywords in a much tigher niche with a moderate cash flow activity. i have done that in a much tigher niche, and i did not have a long time performance history, but just my campaign performed well right from the beginning. Does anybody hire a professional market researcher? it helps a lot.

I agree with your response to your reader. If he set aside half of his affiliate marketing income for one month that would pay over a years worth of living expenses in an emergency.

I’m a reporter writing something about the March Google slap. Do you have a few minutes to chat?

I don’t believe he’s saying his profit is anywhere near that level. (ie Profit = gross comms – traffic gen costs).

We have no idea what his PPC costs are, but assuming the 20 keywords are not of the long tail variety and they’re pretty competitive, i am not sure if his margin is beyond the 20%-50% range, unless he has very established bid history in his account and killer QS on his landing pages.

One other thing I’m wondering about is that in China, a large percentage of the credit cards are “domestic banking credit cards”. meaning they can only be used in China.

Because the forex controls are very severe in China, it’s near impossible to repatriate money into or out of China, so I’m keen to find out how he’s doing it too.

If he was cash rich and had the means to set up a PPC account, and be a baller like he sounds, why would he be considering a $500/month job?

It would be interesting to see some due diligence, and the guy could be real for all i know, though it sounds a little like linkbait to me…

If it’s for real, I don’t know anyone in their right mind who would do teaching instead of affiliate marketing, but it’d be interesting to hear how he managed to transfer enough of the China currency, the renminbi, somehow to the US and then build it up to $8-10k a month (while somehow maintaining US bank accounts – which I’m not aware that China citizens are able to open without a SSN.)

I’ve lived, studied and worked in the US and China and am pretty familiar with the business conditions, and if he’s able to do what he’s been able to, I’d be pretty impressed and amazed.

Amit, do you even have campaigns/ad groups that small that make that kind of profit?

Well.. time to get fired up and blast my income up the roof!!

$30,000 a month.. That’s my dream income.. I’m only at $5000 a month now… 6 times more to go!
