A lot of people ask me : “Amit, now that you have all this money, what’s your investment plan? Have you thought about saving for retirement? Kids college education?”
“You should put your money in IRAs, 401(k)s, CD, bonds, stocks…blah,blah,blah.”
Now if you plan to be a worker bee for the rest of your life, then these are very valid and important questions.
Put for a ppc super affiliate these questions are done right idiotic!?!
Yeah, I’m going to tie my money up in stocks, IRAs, or CDs so I can get a 5%, 10%, EVEN 20% return on my money in a good year!
Right!
Do you want to know what return a REALLY good investment plan will give on your money??
INFINITE!
That’s the return I get when I invest my money into my business, into ppc affiliate marketing.
Now you might ask : “Amit, how do you get infinite investment for ppc affiliate marketing, you said yourself the average ppc affiliate has an ROI of 50% on their campaigns??”
Simple.
All my ppc expenses go on my amex black card to the tune of $100,000/month and growing: 
I don’t pay off my black card until AFTER I get my affiliate commissions. So I’ve actually borrowed money via American Express and made a hefty return in the process.
In other words I didn’t actually tie up a SINGLE CENT of my money, and yet generated a massive cashflow. That’s what I mean by infinite return.
The time many of you actually take to learning how to setup a retirement plan, invest in stocks, etc, etc, you could be using that time to learn how to setup a profitable affiliate offer.
Think about it, if you just have ONE affiliate offer that consistently produces $100/day profit, that’s a $36,500/year of cashflow.
Now tell me WHAT investment will give you that type of return. More importantly how much money would you have to tied up to get such a return?
If you’re getting a 10% return from your stock portfolio, you have to have $365,000 of your OWN MONEY tied up to get $36,500 a year.
If you’re getting a 5% return from CDs, you have to have $730,000 of your OWN MONEY tied up to get $36,500 a year cashflow.
I had a 401(k) and an IRA, I pulled ALL my money out.
Even if your goal is not to get rich or quit your job through ppc affilaite marketing, PLEASE take the time to learn how to make $100/day profit from affiliate marketing. You can do this with one campaign, and no it’s not hard.
Once you get to the point that you’re making $100/day profit, the sky is the limit after that! 
So stop wasting your time trying to figure out what stocks and IRAs you’re going to ‘invest in’. If you really care about your financial future, you’ll do everything in your power to learn how to generate an infinite return on your money with ppc affiliate marketing.
Not only will you not have to worry about your retirement or funding your children’s college education, you NEVER have to worry about money PERIOD.
You’ll have the freedom to go to Nordstrom’s and drop $800 on clothing, like my wife and I did AGAIN yesterday. In fact my wife and I had a little competition: who would spend the most money!
You’ll be able to give away MORE money than you used to make in your job.
So what’s your investment plan?

Amit,
What do you think is the easiest way for someone to get started in affiliate marketing?
Regards,
Fred
Hi Amit, totally agree with you! I will only invest part of the money on stock or bonds if am retire! But the question is will I ever retire if I enjoy the life style you have and the fun of affiliate marketing?
BTW, I get to this blog through PPC Classroom..and since then I won’t miss any of your post! Just want to thank you for sharing all the great mindset! I really learn a lot from this blog and you of course..thank you!
Well I think the point in investing is not to make more money than with affiliate marketing. The point is to secure some money and not put all your eggs in the same basket.
I mean there are probably many affiliate marketers working alone. Now let’s say that something really bad happens to you like a cerebral vascular accident or a stroke, now it wouldn’t be the time to look for good investments.
I may be wrong that’s just my 2 cents
Stephane, you’re right. Any successful person should have an investment portfolio to diversify. Who knows when affiliate marketing will not be able to generate the margins some super affiliates are seeing.
Get 5 million. Buy your house and cars cash.
Put 3 million into 30 yr treasury notes at 5% and have a guaranteed $150k/year for the next 30 years after which the government gives you back your $3m.
Another comment:
There’s some decent info on this blog but man, enough with the bragging already. No one cares about your spending sprees or black cards.
Post in detail (very. specific. detail) how you find, research and branch out into new niches. Tell us how you track at the campaign, adgroup, keyword level on a daily weekly and monthly basis.
We all want to be rich like you. Please get down to where the rubber hits the road and give some specific, that’s specific, underlined, techniques approaches, management outlines.
Generality from successful affiliates needs to be stomped out. If you’re new, it will cost you money.
No, I think Amit made his point really well. His main objective was to give you a clear picture of what financial freedom you can enjoy in this business. For those of us who are 9 to 5 worker bees, we have to worry and figure out about putting our little money into mutual funds, RRSPs, bonds, stocks, etc.
I work 9 to 5 and I have little over 20k saved up form last 3 years i worked. Its pathetic when compared to how much time Amit spends working and how much he saves (infinite).
Now i save a few hundred less a month and spend the rest on ppc. But its a good investment, even thou im at loss right now. But it will come around, it has to.
Amit, I love your way of thinking, especially the part about learning to make $100/day and the sky is the limit, but Stephane does make a valad point. I’m sure a lot of your income is now on auto-piolt, but just in case, does your wife know how to do affiliate marketing?
Now if I can just get to that $100/day. I need to read more of your blog, Right Now!
Hi All,
First of all, a lot of you are missing the points, in terms of the amount of time, effort, and investment NOTHING will give you a better return then building a residual (well at least partially residual) cashflow with a business such as affiliate marketing.
If I showed you how much $ I had in my bank account you would stop thinking in terms of “nest eggs”!?!
Liston, if something happens to me I have life insurance and disability insurance so my family will be fine. Plus my wife will get all the assests, which is enough to live on for a long time.
If affiliate marketing were to fizzle out, I will have jumped to another business model long before that happened. Worst case scenario I can take the money I’ve made and put it into an annuity and make enough cashflow to live on for the rest of my life.
Hey Amit – I’m not sure I completely agree with you on this issue.
You say that you don’t want to tie your money up in investments, but then you say that you don’t use your money for your business, you use money from AMEX (I do the same
). Also, what happens when you have more cash than your monthly advertising capacity? If your bank account is $1.5M, you’re not going to need all that money to be liquid for your business, especially if you credit card has no limit.
So then my question to you is, what is your money actually doing? Is it in a checking/savings account earning a 0-1% return. This seems like a waste to me because it’s just sitting there collecting dust (and losing value to inflation) when it could be making more money for you.
I’m not saying that you have to become a full time stock trader, or a weekend real estate investor. You could pursue many low-involvement investments (such as the CD’s you mentioned) and get a guaranteed 5-6% return, or you could hire someone to manage your assets and investments for you.
In my opinion, not investing excess capital is leaving millions of dollars in compound interest on the table. This point is only amplified when you’re talking about the kind of money that is made by super affiliates. If a wage earner can build a sizable net worth with small weekly deposits, just think of the fortune a super affiliate could amass with $5000 weekly deposits over 10-30 years. (30 years of this -$7.8M deposited- at 6% would result in $20M and at 10% would result in $45M)
Very true. However, tax planning is a very important part of the process as well. As you move into the highest tax bracket, you need to be smart about stashing your income in certain retirement vehicles as well as managing your deductions very well or else you are forking over a huge amount of cash to the tax man. Amit, you probably still are anyway but I guess that’s a nice problem to have!
Debating over how to handle money, is like a debate over religion,…it’s pointless cause not everyone is going to follow the same path or agree on the same thing.
There are many paths to financial freedom and this is how Amit chooses to handle his cash.
