Glad I read this post. PPC marketing has always been scary to me because I’m afraid to lose my initial investment.

I like the way you phrased PPC – “treat it like a business.” Besides, I can write off any business expenses on my tax return.

Thanks for the motivational info, and keep it up!

I have just viewed your Zip Line video it is awesome. When I was stationed in Cyprus we had a death slide (similar principle) from the top of the cliffs into the sea. Small beer compared with yours.

Mike:
You’re right. You saw through all of us. It’s a conspiracy between Amit, the readers and every visitor to the blog to do a covert affiliate campaign. We want you to go on an Alakan cruise, and do the zip lining thing, and at the moment you’re zipping through the air at 60mph, we’ll send a subliminal message through your ear muffs that we’d like you to buy an insurance policy, given how dangerous the ride is and how fast you’re travelling…You must be a master to have seen through it all…

Or maybe not…

Hi Mike,

You’re right, I’m selling something. Do you know what that is?

I’m selling the belief that YOU TOO can do what I’ve accomplished, that you too can succeed in affiliate marketing. My goal is not to come off as a high and mighty super affiliate, but just a regular guy who figured somethings out and succeeded.

If you’re waiting for some big product launch, keep waiting… LOL

Mike, how in the world you thought this post was trying to sell something is beyond me. Amit’s a great guy and his blog post was inspiring to everyone else. If you took anything else away from reading it that’s your loss.

Now I am at the point, I see where those people who bashed, why they bashed you. Dude you sound like a person trying to sell something.. no offence, I know you got something BIG cooking and your giving it away by talking like that. I just lost the feel of you being a SUPER affiliate. Sorry but that’s how you sound..

I am at that point right now where I am feeling so overwhelmed with all of the information that I can’t even decide where to begin!!!So I have been doing nothing for the past two weeks….This was a good post, very motivating!!Somebody, anybody, what would be the basics? I have a niche, have signed up with a company as an affiliate and have decided to create a content filled landing page. What inexpensive company would you recommend for me to build a page and is one page enough?
Thanks…is that the type of question that is for a forum or can i ask any questions here?

Thanks again,

Great post, Amit.

Feel the fear and do it anyway…. If you sit around dwelling on negative things, the fear becomes bigger and stronger, keeping you from moving forward.

Miles and Amit are spot on…I went skydiving and I had built it up so much in mind to be the most frightening thing in the world and once I did it I was like, “that’s it! That wasn’t so bad at all.” Actually now I think roller coasters are more scary than skydiving. Don’t get me wrong it was awesome, but sometimes we build things up so much in our minds that the reality doesn’t even compare to perception.
