I Need Some PPC Affiliate Marketing Help!
Today should stand to be a fun day for me in good ol’ Maryland.
I feel pretty good, I’ve had a strong breakfast, and it looks like we’re even getting a touch of snow today. PLUS I finally got the processor for the new rig I’m building so I should have more than enough things to keep me busy today.
But outside of all of the above, one of the big things I’m focusing on today my Adwords account that is promoting my Affiliate Marketing efforts!
You May Remember…
That back in the day I tried affiliate marketing for all of a second. Now after I did the Pepperjam review yesterday, I’m really committed to trying to learn how to turn a buck in this industry. The only problem is that I really don’t know what I’m doing. (#):(
And So I Come To You for Help
I figure through the law of averages, that there has got to be SOMEONE out there who will read this who has had more experience with affiliate marketing (and especially PPC) affiliate marketing than I. If you wanted to volunteer some knowledge it’d be much appreciated or if you could point me in the direction of some good resources on the web - It’d also be welcomed.
So far, the best place I’ve found on the web has been Zac Johnson - The Super Affiliate. He has a couple of posts that are really good to get you started but I still feel like there are some steps in the middle that I’m just missing somehow… To be specific, I’m targeting two affiliate offers right now and using AdWords to get people there. Unfortunately, my CTR sucks and I think my impressions are low too. (Currently I’m only targeting the content network).
So again, I’d be very thankful for a little help on all this stuff and I’m sure other readers would be too!

Read Perry Marshall’s Adwords Ebook then shoot on over to Ahmit’s “Super Affiliate Mindset”. http://www.superaffiliatemindset.com

@Keith - Hey man thanks a lot! I’ll hopefully get to his e-book at some point (though I’m not to cised to pay all that money for it) and I’ll certainly start digging through Ahmit’s site today. Much thanks! (#):D

Tried PPC for a few things, my money was all gone and no sales were converted, making me a poor man in 2008.

@Sir Jorge - But 2008 isn’t even 3 weeks old yet!!! How’d you manage that!?

Bush,
Me and you mate are in the same position, I wrote an email to Darren Rowse over at http://www.problogger.net and asked him what he thought would be good money makers for my site and he advised Chitika ads, Amazon Associates, Widget Bucks and Adsense. I applied to them all and got accepted and I am currently messing on with them. Even when you have them on your site you need to constantly try different colours etc to get the best revenue.
The other blog to get good advice and a free Ebook is http://www.Johnchow.com.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Bush,
Check out the Resource Center / Knowledge Vault on Pepperjam Network. With put that there as a nice starting point for someone getting started in affiliate marketing.
You have everything you need right there - the suggestions your readers make above are also good.

@Jsanderz - Good advice. (#):) I’m with afew different programs myself, and I think depending on how the program works, you’re going to have to apply different methods to be successful.
Off all of the “regular” ways to monetize the web, I’m definietely the greenest with affiliate marketing. But I’ll keep at it and will hopefully be able to turn this thing around. (#):)
@Kris - I actually went back and took a couple hours to go through Zac’s site as well as a few others on there (including Shoemoney’s I believe)… I’ve made some changes to a couple promotions I’m offering and can’t wait to see how that goes. Thanks for the support!
