Money is tight. 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 in those incessant emails that pour into your mail box every day. So what do you do?

I was asking myself that very question when into my email box came an announcement from someone whose newsletter I had been on for a couple of years. But unlike those other pesky 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 our time. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was getting ready to launch something that would become known as the Black Ink Project.

Jeremy had made his name back in 2005 when he published an ebook entitled High Performance Affiliate Marketing, which he now gives away. In it he detailed pretty much all he knew about how to do successful pay per click marketing. The kind of things that had earned him a Commission Junction Horizon Award for Innovation in 2005, and more than a million dollars in yearly affiliate income. His book sold more than 5000 copies.

But soon he began to sour on the thought of dealing with digital products. The industry seemed to be awash in false promises and outrageous marketing copy that brainwashed aspiring affiliates and more or less guaranteed they would be doomed to failure.

So he took a break from dealing with affiliates on any large scale, and went away to perform some experiments on a handful of affiliates that he could mentor one-on-one. Was it possible, he wondered, to teach what he knew how to do so well to others who wanted to achieve that same level of success with PPC strategies? It didn't work with ebooks, he'd found. Very few of his ebook customers ever went on to do anything with their newfound knowledge. He was sure that a more hands-on approach was needed.

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 went on to earn more than $10,000/month with their pay per click affiliate marketing efforts. One went on (with his business partner) to earn a stellar $4,000,000 dollars in the next two years. You can watch a video from this same affiliate on my site. Clearly the hands-on approach was far more effective than even Jeremy had suspected was possible.

So when that email from him arrived in my email box that day, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial two thousand students 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 profit-pulling campaigns.

The course proved to be immensely successful, and got the thumbs up all-round. But again, Jeremy wasn't entirely 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 another campaign. Everything from selecting the niche, to keyword research, site planning and building, and the eventual setting up of PPC campaigns, complete with often ignored ad-tracking to maximize profits. This course later became 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 participants. You can find out more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
