How To Do Affiliate Marketing On A Tight Budget


Your wallet is empty. You have a hunch it could pay off to do pay per click marketing. Maybe you could conquer a niche and begin making the kind of money that the super affiliates tease you with incessantly with those emails that pour into your mail box every morning. So what do you do?

I was asking myself that very question when into my email box popped an announcement from someone whose newsletter I had been on for a quite some time. But unlike those other annoying affiliate marketers, this one rarely sent me anything. Actually it was kind of odd because he was one of the most widely respected and well-known super affiliates of today. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was about to launch something he called the
Black Ink Project.

Jeremy had acquired his fame back in 2005 when he published an ebook entitled High Performance Affiliate Marketing, which he now gives away. In it he detailed pretty much everything he knew about how to do successful pay per click marketing. Those things that had garnered him a Commission Junction Horizon Award for Innovation in 2005, and more than a million dollars in yearly affiliate income. His book went on to sell more than 5000 copies.

But then he began to sour on the whole idea of dealing with digital products. The industry, it seemed to him, was awash in false promises and outrageous marketing copy that brainwashed new affiliates and pretty much guaranteed they would fail to succeed.

So he took a break from dealing with affiliates on any large scale, and went away to perform some experiments on a just a few affiliates that he could mentor one-on-one. Could it be possible, he wondered, to teach the things he was doing successfully to others who wanted to reach that same level of success with pay per click strategies? It didn’t work with ebooks, he knew. Very few of his ebook customers ever went on to do much with their newfound knowledge. He was sure that a more hands-on method of teaching was required.

My Black Ink Project Review is a summary of what it was that he finally came up with.

As for those few lucky affiliates that Jeremy took under his wing - well, 4 out of the 5 he mentored soon began to earn more than $10,000/month with their PPC-based affiliate marketing efforts. One went on (with his business partner) to earn an amzing $4 million dollars over the next two years. You can watch a video from this same affiliate on my site. Clearly the hands-on method was far more effective than even Jeremy had thought possible.

So when that email from him arrived in my email box that morning, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial two thousand members to partake in a course that would take affiliates from a point where they were making nothing to one where they were operating in the black. That is to say, they would have profitable campaigns.

The course proved to be immensely successful, and got the thumbs up all-round. But again, Jeremy wasn’t completely satisfied. So he ran a second version of the course, in which he allowed his audience to see every single thing that he usually did to launch a new campaign. Everything from the niche-selection, to keyword research, site planning and building, and the eventual setting up of pay per click campaigns, complete with often overlooked ad-tracking to maximize profits. This course is now known as Black Ink 2.0

For affiliates operating on a shoestring budget, the Black Ink Project will show you how to set up your own profitable affiliate review site from scratch, and spend the least amount of money possible to do it. I even have software that builds these affiliate review sites for you, which I give away to course members. You can learn more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
