Can you make $10k a day promoting CPA offers with SEO?

In my last post I received a lot of feedback about the value of SEO versus PPC. After seeing how heavily the “gurus” push PPC, I did not expect many people to agree with my point. But apparently, a large percentage see SEO as an excellent complement to PPC for driving traffic to affiliate offers. It is evident that those of us who are SEOs are less vocal than our PPC-only counterparts. Thanks for your feedback.

One of the comments that caught my attention was that of “nickycakes” where he implies that only with PPC can you make a substantial income, because he has only heard PPC super affiliates are earning over US $10k a day.

NickyCakes:

Sorry, but quick results is not the only reason why PPC is better. SEO can’t even come close to the scale that PPC can. It’s nearly impossible to scale SEO no matter how long you wait for your pathetic results. I’ve only ever heard of one person who made more than 10k a day on SEO and that was if you averaged out the sale of his giant financial affiliate site. I know dozens of people who make well over 10k a day with PPC who used to do SEO and gave up because it’s simply not even close to as profitable.

- Mar 24th, 2009

At first I was going to respond in his and other similar comments, but I felt that a proper response would require a separate blog post. So here it is.

First of all, I think I asked the wrong question in the title of this post. The right question should have been: “Can you make $100k a day promoting CPA offers with SEO?” What???? Yes, that is the right question. Let me tell you why.

Organic search listings can get as much as ten times the attention (and clicks) than paid listings.

According to Enquiro’s eye tracking study, organic search gets the lion’s share of the attention of searchers. Jim Boykin of WeBuildPages studied the data from AOL’s leaked search query logs and came to the conclusion that the #1 listing can get as much as 42% of the total clicks in the search engine result page. Compare this to best case scenario of 5% of clicks on the right hand side where the bulk of paid ads are displayed.

In theory, this means that if you can make $10k a day placing ads on the paid search network, you could potential make $100k by ranking for the exact same keywords in the organic results. Now, of course, this is much easier to say than to do, so I will give you a concrete example. But first …

As you probably noticed, I said “search network”. It is not surprising that few affiliates making a significant amount of money rely on ranking for the first few paid search ad spots given how expensive they are. Most successful affiliates spend their time more productively and cost-effectively fishing for inexpensive keywords in the content network or by seeking out the often overlooked, but highly converting keyword phrases.

Another thing to consider is the fact that many of the less successful affiliates like to boast about how much they make and tend to exaggerate because they are not able to prove their claims convincingly (for competitive reasons obviously ☺). The truth is that most successful Affiliates and merchants who are making obscene amounts of money don’t see the benefit they get from bragging about their results. The ones who are quiet about their results are usually the ones who are making the most money and don’t want to drive unnecessary attention and competition to their ventures. Just ask Matt Inman!

I’ve made $10k per day as an affiliate doing just SEO

Now, let’s move from theory to practice. Not to brag, but I can say with the confidence of personal experience that you can net more than $10k a day as an affiliate. I did just that a few years ago with a single web site, when I was ranking #1 for “phentermine” in Google and Yahoo. This has been confirmed by a respected third party. I prefer not to comment about how much I’ve made since then or how much I make now that I am both an affiliate and merchant. I can tell you, that when you scale your affiliate efforts and become a successful merchant, you multiply your profits. The development of my product, RankSense, cost me a few million dollars and all the funds came from my affiliate marketing ventures.

You can do this too!

There are several ways you can do this, however I will focus on explaining how I did it personally and how you can too, by following the methods I used and modeling it for your own efforts.

How was I able to make so much money from obscure keyword such as that? Why didn’t I try to rank for a keyword that had significant more searches like “weight loss”? Would I have been more successful if I had taken that approach? The short answer is a big “NO”.

Tip #1: Brand search keywords are the most profitable keywords—period!

When somebody is searching for a specific brand of product, they’re the closest you can get to buying such product. They already know their problem and think that the searched product is the solution to their problem. Most of the time, they are only looking for the cheapest price. You don’t need to do any selling. You simply need to convince them that you are getting them the best deal.

The worst conversion rate I got was 15% and could easily convert at 28-30% by simply displaying price comparison tables.

Now, combine those insights with a very hot niche like weight loss, a product with high demand such as Phentermine, crazy payouts with lifetime refill commissions and you have a golden opportunity. Unfortunately, the product is not longer available for sale on the Internet without a personal visit to the doctor. As I mentioned in my previous article, all opportunities have a small window where you can make the most money. Savvy affiliates study trends and try to seize opportunities as they appear.

Unfortunately, some merchants won’t let you bid on their brand terms in paid search, but there is not much they can do if you try to rank for their brand on the organic results. I’ve seen a few merchants who follow back all your links and request the web site owners to remove their brands from their page, but that is the exception. Most merchants are not that smart ☺

Tip #2: The most competitive markets are where most of the money is!

Many “gurus” recommend that you go to the obscure niches that few people care about because you will see results faster. Then in order to scale this, you need to find more obscure niches and do the same. You find dozens and hundreds of such niches and your profits will add up. This approach makes a lot of sense until you actually try to put it to practice. You will soon realize that each small niche is like starting all over again from scratch. The market research part of affiliate marketing is the most difficult part and it takes effort to get it right. Get it wrong and you will lose a lot of money.

What I prefer to do is to target a big profitable niche, a niche where there are a lot of people spending gobs of money to solve a perpetual problem like weight loss and then I divide the niche in sub-niches and work on the sub-niches, one at a time. I take this approach even when I have identified a single product I want to promote. I first go after the less competitive keywords, “cheap phentermine” instead of the more highly sought after keyword “phentermine”.

Tip #3: The brand hijacker technique!

Now, let’s say that you are trying to promote a really good offer like “PureCleanse Detox (#2117)”, with a awesome payout, great conversion rate and high demand niche, but the brand searches do not generate enough traffic. Here is what I do.

Have you ever seen the product pages in Amazon, where they recommend related books and some of those books get as many sales as the original item on the page? Why? Well using my technique you can do the same.

You can search for competing products on the same and similar categories that have more searches per month, then create affiliate pages for those products and add a section to your landing pages where you recommend the alternative or complimentary solution; which is in fact the one you ultimately want them to take. I recorded a Webinar last year where I explain this technique in more detail. You might want to check it out. You can access a recording of the live event here on my blog, HamletBatista.com

Conclusion

You can make a lot more money with SEO than you can from PPC, if you know what you are doing and you are targeting the most profitable opportunities. Do that and your profits will soar! Let me know what you think in the comments.

PS: If you want to learn more about my techniques, I will be sharing more super affiliate tips and specifically how I got to the first page of Google for “Viagra” and kept it there for couple of years, at the new must-attend Affiliate conference; Affiliate Convention, June 18 & 19 in Denver, Colorado. Put it on your calendar and make sure you do not miss it.

I was reading this great article over at Ad Age. It’s about how several small businesses are using Twitter in a proven way to drive sales. For example, Naked Pizza in New Orleans ran a Twitter promotion on April 23rd that accounted for 15% of that day’s business.

“Every phone call was tracked, every order was measured by where it came from, and it told us very quickly that Twitter is useful,” said Jeff Leach, the restaurant’s co-founder. “Sure, there’s the brand marketing and getting-to-know-you stuff. … But we wanted to know: Can it make the cash register ring?”

The article goes on to point some very specific tips that businesses should be mindful of when using Twitter as a promotional tool:

TRACK EVERY SALE - Consider sending out a codeword in a tweet that customers have to repeat to get a discount. This will give you an absolutely granular look at the real impact the promotion has.

TWITTER IS NOT FACEBOOK - Twitter is more immediate – it is more likely to harness action in a more urgent and spontaneous way whereas Facebook might be better to plan a longterm contest or promotion using groups or an application.

CREATE A CONVERSATION – Don’t blast promotions incessantly. Intersperse them with other nuggets of wisdom or news related to your products and industry or neighborhood. Or, if you have a broader social mission, use Twitter to communicate that. Naked Pizza co-founder Jeff Leach suggests that if these kinds of social technologies become game changers, there may be a day when companies’ initial business plans take into consideration whether they have anything worth microblogging.

SELL LAST-MINUTE INVENTORY - Twitter’s immediacy is its biggest strength — so use it to pump up business during lulls or discount last-minute unsold goods, said Zack Steven, co-founder of LocalTweeps, a local Twitter directory, who caught same-day discounted tickets at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis via Twitter.

ALERT FOLLOWERS WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO - Venture capitalist Fred Wilson likes to point to KogiBBQ, a Korean taco truck that drives around Los Angeles, alerting its almost 20,000 followers to its current and future locations via a Twitter feed.

Looking at the above points, how can Twitter help you achieve your performance marketing goals? For us, we’ve used it to search for SEM firms, fill staff positions, recruit publishers and advertisers and get the word out about important issues in our industry like the affiliate tax. Then, monthly, we gather reports and see where we had an impact and where we can do better.

How is your company or business using Twitter to increase your bottom line?

Sourcing Data from Co-Registration Sites is Like Dealing in Sub-Prime Mortgages:
Proceed at your own Risk

I don’t mean to simplify the reasons for the current sub-prime mortgage mess, but I see some telling parallels for email marketers who source data from co-registration sites.

1. Both are too good to be true.

Applicants were enticed to apply for unaffordable mortgages by the promise of low — or no – short-term interest rates and the promise of increased equity from higher and higher house prices (Buy now because it is going up!).

Similarly, sub-prime data-collection sites entice people with the promise of free stuff. What most do not say are all the steps, time, and information that the subscriber will have to provide before meeting the requirements for these gifts. Even the folks who muster the energy to complete the application process, will undoubtedly be less than appreciative when they receive seemingly endless streams of additional offers from email marketers.

2. Both follow the money.

Mortgage credit representatives are commissioned on the sales they bring in, not who they turn down – even though an appropriate rejection is positive to the bottom line in the long-run. A good mortgage company, will have a credit department that will use readily available risk metrics to scrutinize the mortgage opportunity brought in by the sales representatives.

Email marketers, however, have a much more difficult time to accurately assess the quality of subscribers and generally must rely more on the reputation of the co-registration company: How long has it been in business? Does it have good referrals? What does thesign-up site look like? Would subscribers really want to receive content from you? Most co-registration agreements are priced around the number of subscribers provided – the more subscriber names, the more revenue generated. For the co-registrar, not for you.

If you are not asking the right questions, you are not going to achieve email deliverability and marketing success. What’s worst – you risk involving yourself into legal problems (e.g. CAN-SPAM) should you not do your homework.

3. Both use bad data.

Contributing to the sub-prime mortgage crisis was that loan risk assessment checks — debt-to-income ratio, credit history, long-term prospect of meeting interest payments — were ignored. Similarly, email marketers often don’t evaluate the data suitability from a co-registration site. Is a check done to confirm that the email address is valid? Is a check done to validate the accuracy of the data (e.g. does the zip code fall in the state indicated?); how many other marketers are receiving the subscribers information?; what information is collected? What content is the subscriber truly interested in receiving? You will not cultivate a good company and IP reputation with AOL, Yahoo, and the other ISPs you are sending to if you send to the wrong people, uninterested people, or non-existent people.

4. Both are – er, sorry, no bailout for email marketers.

Sure, governments are stepping into the breach with bailouts for mortgage lenders and investment banks. But if you use co-registration names, don’t be expecting anybody to bail you out anytime soon.

I recently attended the eMetrics: Marketing Optimization Summit last week in Toronto. I sat in on a workshop on Web Analytics for Site Optimization given by Jim Novo from the Web Analytics Association.

At MediaTrust, we are constantly researching new ways to optimize websites and landing pages to improve conversion rates for our affiliates. This is a brief overview of some of the things I learned from Jim’s workshop:

What is Web Analytics?

Web Analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of Internet data for the purposes of understanding and optimizing Web usage.

Build Sites with Web Analytics in Mind

Don’t waste time and money retro-fitting your website. Make sure you design your site with the latest technologies that support analytics. For example, if your website is a Wordpress blog, upgrade to the current version so you can take advantage of widgets and plugins. There is a free widget for Google Analytics! Awesome! Personally, I try to avoid designing Flash sites because setting up analytics on them is too complicated. You can use flash elements in your site, but an entire Flash site is bad for web analytics.

Quality Traffic

Quality website visitors are more likely to be interested in your product or service and have a high chance of converting into an acquisition or sale. If you have a solid source for internet traffic, you will spend less time waiting for your analytics experiment to end. Quality traffic will convert more often and it will be easier to figure out what’s working and what’s not. Sites that have both quantity and quality traffic will collect data quickly and they get you to your next analytics milestone sooner.

How Much Traffic? A/B Split Test or Multi-Variate Experiment?

Not only do you need quality traffic, you also need a lot of it! Google says it needs at least 500 visitors per week for an A/B Split Test and at least 1000 visitors per week for a Multi-Variate Experiment. The reason for this is because, essentially, A/B Split Test is only two versions of the page. Multi-Variate Experiments make more versions from the combinations of the specific areas you defined. For example, if you mark off and test four areas, and each area has three variations… 4×3=12 pages. You will need more visitors for Multi-Variate Experiments to acquire enough data and really tell which combination is performing the best. If you take the Multivariate route, I recommend keeping the number of testing areas and variations low. The more areas, variations and combinations you have, the longer your experiment will take. As they say, “Time is money”, so keep your experiments quick.

Define Your Page or Site’s Goal

With landing page design, usually the goal is to get the user to convert. In affiliate marketing, conversion is when the user clicks and navigates themselves to the end of your process or basically does what you want them to do. For example, in a shopping cart site, you want the user to purchase the product. Once you define your site’s goal, you will probably realize that it’s too difficult for the user to use your site and reach the end of the process (the goal). Focus on the user’s experience. Try going through your site as if you are the user.

“Humans Track Information Like Animals Follow a Scent”

The users of your site are trying to get information or accomplish a goal. They are looking for a trail of links and buttons to click, so they can find what they want. Jim Novo calls this a scent trail. If the scent is strong, users will follow it until they arrive at your goal. If the trail is weak, they will either abandon your process (go back to the home page), or abandon the site (totally leave). Make the scent trail to your goals strong!

In my last blog post, AOL’s Launch of Its New Reputation System, I wrote about DKIM and the role it will play in AOL’s domain sender reputation system. There is as of recently another reason to pay attention to DKIM: Yahoo now requires DKIM as a prerequisite to participate in its new Complaint Feedback Loop (CFL) program.

Internet Service Provider (ISP) complaint feedback loop (CFL) programs are one of the most important tools available to the permission-based email marketer. Registering for these programs helps ensure that you are kept in the loop whenever recipients generate spam complaints through clicking on the “This is SPAM!” button.

I can’t overstate the value and importance of registering for ISP complaint feedback loop programs – it should be done before you send out even your first message. If you choose not to sign up for such a program or ignore the feedback information, you do so at your own peril. I guarantee you that the ISP in question is monitoring spam complaint data very closely and this will affect your sender reputation (IP and/or Domain).

In a nutshell, the fewer complaints, the better your reputation; the better your reputation, the better your deliverability, and therefore the better ROI you can achieve as a result.
Complaint data – Analyze, learn, improve.

Most permission-based email marketers take the right approach and remove subscribers who complain. In fact, your email delivery system should be able to automatically process the feedback notifications and unsubscribe the complainer from your list database.

There is, however, a whole lot more information that you may want to consider from CFL information that can benefit your overall email-marketing strategy. Here are just a few examples:

• Trend Analysis: Here the idea is to look at the aggregate spam complaint data for trends. For example, a spike in complaints may signal an error somewhere such as the wrong list being used. Similarly, a sharp drop in complaints (usually a good thing!) may ironically signal a technical problem such as a blockage preventing reception of the feedback complaint notifications; a system error in processing them, etc.

• Creative Analysis: You may be sending content that recipients want to receive, but if they don’t recognize the message (e.g. poor choice of ‘From’ line, ‘Subject’, or no alt-text to describe the blocked images) they may complain. Similarly, if the opt-out link is difficult to find, the recipient may well choose the path of least resistance – clicking on “This is SPAM”.

• Segmentation Analysis: For example, you may be receiving data from many different sources. By correlating the SPAM complaint metrics to the data source, you can gain a better appreciation on each segment’s interest and preferences.

Again, the above are just some areas where complaint metric data can prove insightful – and we haven’t even touched on other performance metrics such as opens, clicks, unsubscribes, etc.!

Get in the loop!

AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft Hotmail, Comcast are among some examples of ISPs that have sender complaint feedback loop programs in place. Be warned, though, that the names of these programs, applicant prerequisites (e.g. DKIM), and processes vary according to ISP.
Navigating the registration and configuration for each ISP’s complaint feedback programs can be frustrating—particularly for those new to email marketing—but well worth the investment. Get help if you need to because in the end CFL information is vital way to keeping in touch with your reputation as a sender.

A few weeks ago we asked our publishers to take a few minutes and take Econsultancy’s 2009 Affiliate Marketing Survey. We had a great response! To thank our publishers, we’ve made it available (for a short period) exclusively on our Advaliant Platform. All you need to do is login and view your dashboard, or get the link HERE.

There is a lot of very useful information that will help you further succeed in all of your performance marketing endeavors. To those that are NOT Advaliant Publishers, fear not, we’ll be making it available to everyone on March 10th. If you’d like to access it before then, you can join Advaliant and get immediate access.

Most of you have indubitably played the field, some have found the perfect match, some have chewed their arm off. Finding the perfect match in life is hard because you don’t know if your choice is going to continue to be the beauty queen that everyone hypes her to be or she’s going to be the one that leaves creepy messages for you saying Call me, Call me. Affiliate Marketing is like that, sometimes it’s exciting, other times it’s Mrs. Chucky time.

In the Day to day world of an Affiliate publisher it’s very similar to being at closing time on a Saturday night – who should I commit all of my charm and resources to? Sometimes that choice becomes more difficult because your friends are giving you the nudge, nudge and hyping the beauty across the room. Trust me on this one, look past that one a little further before making your decision. Be a playa’, enjoy life a bit more.

If you’re going to run an Acai offer – you have to at least once in your life – find out what else is available and then date them all. A little speed dating action if you will. Shortly you will see which one is your Mrs. Chucky and which one will make you brag to your friends. Just the other day I saw a clear example where a publisher followed the hype, jumped in with both feet with an offer – while throwing little at a comparable offer. They made LESS by running the hyped offer. Don’t let this happen to you. Ask for the full roster in each offer category and then do a little speed dating. The one that performs the best in a head to head competition is the one that you should marry your traffic to.

Don’t be blinded by the highest payout, do a little speed dating, try different channels, check your head the head EPC’s and laugh all the way to the alter – and bank.

Have you saved something to eat it later and before the time passes you cannot resist the urge to take it? Well, an interesting study I found explains why. Apparently, there are two areas of our brain that compete with every decision: the emotional and logical parts.

“Researchers at four universities found two areas of the brain that appear to compete for control over behavior when a person attempts to balance near-term rewards with long-term goals. The research involved imaging people’s brains as they made choices between small but immediate rewards or larger awards that they would receive later. The study grew out of the emerging discipline of neuro economics, which investigates the mental processes that drive economic decision making. “

In a more recent article, researchers link delayed gratification with intelligence.

However, what does this have to do with SEO or PPC? A lot.

I was trying to research why after so many years, we still prefer PPC over SEO.

Browsing through blogs and forums where you can learn about affiliate marketing and promoting CPA offers I noticed that the vast majority of the advice is to focus on Adwords and Pay Per Click. I was hoping this would change with the years, but since 2002 (when I started as an affiliate) it has always been the same.

I agree PPC is probably the easiest way to get started on affiliate marketing. It is quick and “easy” and SEO is hard and takes time to see results, but once that SEO work pays off, your rewards are huge.

I’m not here to propose that you stop your PPC campaigns and focus on SEO. No … I run PPC campaigns too, but I do want to tell you why you should use a mixed approach that incorporates SEO too.

Promoting an offer using paid search has many benefits:

1. You can see immediate results.

2. You can test many different things: ads, landing pages, search positions, etc.

3. You can do geographical targeting.

4. You can track conversions easily.

Nevertheless, focusing on PPC exclusively has a major drawback … can you guess what it is?

“Anyone” can do it.

Most PPC “gurus” don’t talk about this, but the reality is that most offers you can promote have a “window” of opportunity. A time frame when you can make the most money. It is the time where the demand is high and most of your competitors haven’t caught up to it.

Once everybody starts using spy tools and bidding for the same keywords, what do you think happens to the bid prices? They rise obviously!

That is one of the reasons why you have to be constantly looking for new hot offers to promote.

Now, let me give you an alternative route.

Let’s say that you try to focus on offers around similar themes like: business opportunities, dating, etc. You then try to create content sites that provide content for those niches and promote the offers in the content.

You start by sending PPC traffic to those sites, but after you figure out what works, you start shifting part of your PPC budget to content development and promotion. It is very surprising how cheap you can get quality content and promotion these days.

If you spend $1000 a month on PPC, spend  only $900 and invest the rest in content that attracts links. If you have a larger budget you might want to consider hiring a blogger that writes the content and promotes it using social media. Make sure the content and the links are well optimized for SEO and the site pages are getting indexed.

In a few days you will start getting free clicks from the search engines, clicks that you don’t need to pay for.

In a few months, your extra search engine clicks will give you an edge that will be very hard for your PPC competitors to reach.

I try to do this for every successful campaign I run, and that is why I love SEO. The return on investment is way too big to ignore.

How many of you incorporate SEO in your search marketing efforts?

You don’t do SEO … really?? why not?

Get ready soon for AOL’s Launch of its new DKIM based domain sender reputation system

Sometime in the first half of the year, AOL will begin to implement its new DKIM based domain sender reputation system.

A reputation system works in a two-step process. The first step is authentication (who are you?) and the second is authorization. The latter basically translates into what rights of benefits that will be authorized to you as a sender. For instance, if your sender reputation is good, then you may benefit from being authorized to send higher volumes of emails; have more of those emails delivered to the inbox; etc… An analogy is the relationship between a passport and a visa. The former identifies you and the latter describes what rights you have been granted (e.g. visit country, work in the country, etc..).

DKIM

Reputation systems work in different ways. Some focus on the IP address, some on the sending domain, and others on a combination of the previous two. The exact method in which the authentication check is done relates to the underlying technology in effect such as Sender Policy Framework, SenderID, and DKIM.

Domain keys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a cryptographic email authentication method, making it possible to detect email forgery (“phishing”) by validating that the message actually comes from the domain that it claims to have come from. Signing outgoing messages with DKIM helps senders protect their domain and brand reputation against deceptive abuse by spammers.

Don’t Panic

AOL has put a lot of thought and consideration on how to roll out DKIM based domain reputation along with the current IP based reputation system. Only one system will be used at a time. If the message is signed with DKIM, then the domain reputation system will be used. If not, then the IP based reputation will be used. I am sure many computer scientist “types” will argue that a combined IP and Domain based reputation system would provide a better reputation score. This, however, misses an important consideration in that the more complicated scores are calculated; the more difficult it is to understand and/or troubleshoot; and the less likelihood senders will correctly identify problems areas and improve on them.

Change is Good

Of course, AOL is not forcing you to start signing messages using DKIM. However, don’t put it off without also thinking about the benefits you are missing out on. For one, you have a lot more flexibility in your choice of infrastructure. For example, it could mean losing a whitelisted AOL IP if your current ISP hosting company goes out of business. In this case, you basically would have to start from scratch : find a new server, build the reputation on the IP, apply for whitelisting, etc…

However, with AOL’s DKIM based domain reputation system, you don’t have to worry about such IP problems because with DKIM-based signing no “warm-up” period is required for a new server. Just bring the new server online, sign email using DKIM, and continue to send the same email volume you were sending before.

AOL has no plans to expire a domain’s positive reputation from inactivity such as what happens now with AOL’s IP based reputation system. This is of course great news for business models and organizations where email campaigns are sent on a seasonal basis or only during certain times of the year.

Make the Leap

In the end, there should not be a whole lot holding you back to at least plan to soon start signing your messages with DKIM. As a reputable permission based email marketer, you put a lot of work into developing and maintaining your company and domain reputation. Don’t let that go to waste – take advantage of DKIM to not only protect your reputation, but also to maximize deliverability.

Stay tuned for AOL to publish a DKIM FAQ on its postmaster site.

One of my favorite things to see during my workday are blog posts from affiliates that are having success on our platform. It reminds me that these are real people making real money. We came across this post from Justin Dupre:

“On day 2 I switched the campaign to Advaliant. Within half an hour my conversions shot up, and by the end of the night I had made up what was being lose with the old network. Day 3 finishes up with some massive campaign explosion… Gotta hand it out to Geofferson for being the best AM at Advaliant by far…I’m 3 days into this, and bringing in rev of over 1k a day (about 60-100% ROI I’ve seen on each day). Now, this campaign will just keep expanding and expanding until I’m making at least a few K a day. For all you who think it’s not possible to get up and running that fast, look, I just did it, and I’m going to have some seriously profitable weeks/months ahead of me.”

Justin is proof that with a little bit of effort, some preparation, and the will to succeed, you can be making some pretty serious money in performance marketing. Great job Justin!
