Are you an affiliate network?

Are you having trouble deciding if you want to put that offer on your network?

Please use this handy chart for your decision making process.

Personally this Google Buzz shit is a joke. I just shit a brick realizing how much I rely on these fools at google and i need to swtich it up.

Stolen from digg but funny.

Did you know that even Adwords was a rip-off?

No you do.

This is Adwords 2.0

How high am I? High enough to write this post. I had to celebrate 420 readers.

I know Nickycakes talked about Nick Throlson before, in his 10 worst blogs post, but I feel like this video deserves some special attention.

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, you can learn a thing or two from Nick Throlson’s video. It is truly full of insight into how this internet thing works. Like if you’re sitting there, pants on the ground, you might be wondering how people can make monies online – obviously everything out there has already been thought of.

So what can you do, lost child, about your mindset to get your paper right? You have to think outside the box. You have to have time to think.

You have to think … in the park.

Some of you people have seen this video before but didn’t quite grasp its genius. This is why I’m writing these notes – so you can get all the juicy information Nick drops on your heads.

Alright bro-ski. We’re gonna talk about full websites versus landing pages. Why? Because that’s a common question among everyone in the industry. We need to know what works better – but different people have different opinions. Let’s analyze Nick’s expertise on the matter.

Here’s what Nick thinks about landing pages.

1. Lot of affiliate marketers don’t know how to make a full website so they
2. Hire someone for 60 bucks. Get an LP Done. Slap it up.
3. Put some offers on them, and review them.
4. Do some PPC.
5. ……
6. $$$$

See this shit is easy!

But! BUT! If you use Wordpress, because it has plugin for SEO, or Jamula for Meta Tags, you can save a lot of time. A lot of that time can be spent making money.

You can build a full website and just make a profit off of it by adding an aWeber form.

Ranking SEO vs Ranking PPC

Nick talks about the reasons why you might want to make a full website, because you can rank it SEO, all while ranking it PPC. What’s the difference between the two? For newbies it might be tough to understand, but if you collect opt-ins you can get a lot better conversions.

Some people here might disagree with Nick Throlson about ranking SEO. I call those people idiots. Nick is an expert in the field so you better know your shit before arguing with his facts.

Which Networks to Work with

Another great tip for newbs. Say you want to start making like $20,000 a day. Which network do you sign up with so you can do that?

Nick recommends only the best networks, which are Hydra, Neverblue, and Market Leverage. Motive Interactive has some hotter offers too. What matters is that these networks treat you like a professional blogger, like if you were already John Chow or Shoemoney.

You see, in this industry, other networks treat you like crap. He might be talking about network.ppc.bz, where they pour hot candle wax on your neck beard when you sign up. These are the type of scoundrels you do not want to do business with.

Get Money Get Paid with Your Own Products

Nick talks about making your own product. He drops a little nugget of info and talks about how he is going to develop some Wordpress plugins.

Why not just be an affiliate and not deal with customers, maintenance, and support?

Well, Nick smartly has new affiliates not putting all their eggs in one basket. This is good advice, because you never know when a niche can die. Like what if Acai berry died? What if the rainforests couldn’t produce any more berries?

That’s why you want to have your own product. Because when something like Res-V dies, you want to fall back on… you know… Wordpress plugins. That’s really where the money is.

Side Note: ResV is pretty hot right now. I know this video is close to 2 years old. But ResV is like anti-aging in a bottle, so that can never get old right?

Networking and Dreaming the Internet

Definitely network. You can go to Meetup202s and find people to outsource to. When you do this affiliate marketing thing, you’re not going to know everything. So to make the monies online you just have to outsource things that you don’t know. You can surround yourself with other likeminded newbs and outsource to a different group at your Meetup.

More important that social interaction, of course, is reading forums. DigitalPoint, Wickedfire – they are all the same. The trick is to absorb it all. Get your mind full of informative posts on these forums. Trust me, you will learn a lot.

This is the best advice in the whole video. From about 4:20 (ironing) is the gold of Nick’s teachings. If you don’t watch the video just watch the clip. If you have watched the video, watch it again from 4:20 on.

Dreaming about these things means you’ll wake up with thoughts like “Woah I should make a landing page for acai berry” or “Woah, everybody is making money on these ringtones!” or “Woah Google Adsense pays you money for clicks? I need to get my friends click on my stuff.”

All great ideas.

You don’t want to be working all of the time. No, fuck that. Productivity is going to kill you fast. You need to spend time reading these forums, so instead of actually getting anywhere with hard work, you just come across a million dollar idea. With a great idea you can just go up to people and ask for investment because the idea is so good and they will give it to you.

So make ideas happen with outsourcing to people you meet at Meetups. Wordpress and Jamula plugins are pretty much the future of making money online. Just make sure your “Donate Here” button is big enough! Split test it! You never know when Zwinkys is going to die because of government regulation.

Peter Parks should be Affiliate Spiderman, not Affiliate Punisher. Get it? Parks. Parker. Peter Parker. Spiderman.

Oh wait… Affiliate marketing already has it’s Spiderman.

If you are very confused right now, I made a post about some guru dipshit product called Affiliate Punisher recently. Today I noticed a comment from the creator himself. You can read the whole rant here

The part I care about is this –

You got balls, if you really got balls, set up a live webinar for your subscribers, I have no problem showing them affiliate marketing campaigns live, because that’s what I do… “LIVE”

So I want to take him up on his offer. I would like to tell all of the “subscribers” on my “list” about this “underground” “opportunity” from Peter Parks the “guru.”

If we can get enough interested people in the comments, perhaps Mr. Punisher will show us all how he’s making monies online.

Now if you know barman, you know he is a master of rolling joints already. One handed joint rolling on a motorcycle while on the lam from the FTC is a skill they don’t teach in class. But I’m not here for the education – i’m here for the T&A

Very NSFW

Yes, I stole this headline from Turbolapp when she made a thread about it in the mod section on WF. (Also the drama there about this is just as thick)

Anyway…

What the fuck? Why? How the fuck did this shit storm happen?

If you haven’t been following this drama at all, let me paraphrase.

1.) Nickycakes releases a product that does something. It addresses the issue that there are a bunch of no-talent ass clowns who rip landing pages. It will block about 96% of them but anyone with half a brain could get around it.
2.) Uber Affiliate waits in the the shadows for what seems like a year. He probably has cut mark on his wrists to “release the pain” from when Nickycake’s destroyed his UberCamp. Uber makes this thread which exposes a number of holes within Nickycakes’ software.
3.) The Wickedfire Mob gets offended that Nickycakes would sell a product to them. Collecting IPs, not offering a self-hosted version, lack of trust, etc etc etc.
4.) Wickedfire members get sand in their vagina and bash away at their keyboards in a rage from their mothers’ basements. At this point, I have no clue what anyone is arguing about anymore because I don’t fucking care.
5.) There are like 5 threads dedicated to this situation with close to 30,000 views.

You people are acting like Nicky raped your fucking mothers or something. If you don’t like it, don’t buy the fucking product.

If you’re sad your IP got recorded, well YOU GOT GOT!

If you just hate Nickycakes, then you’re probably with 50% of people in this field. Love him or hate him.

If you’re taking great joy in the opportunity to bash Nickycakes, waiting years for this moment after all the shit he talked about people, then you are Uber Affiliate.

Personally, I think Uber is mad that this product didn’t exist when the bid prices for “chat” keywords skyrocketed.

The problem I see with this product, aside from all those issues addressed in the thread, is that it has an incredibly small audience (people who actually make money with affiliate marketing), and it was released like a year too late.

I would have to hire a full time writer to begin to scratch the surface on this drama. I really don’t give a fuck, so if you want to throw in your three cents, go to Wickedfire.

Clearly this fucking clown used the PPC.bz Guru Product Name Generator to come up with the name for his product.

Seriously? Affiliate Punisher? Are you fucking retarded?

For only $1,997 you too, can learn the basics of internet marketing. Learn how to build a list of people interested in making money online (everybody) and then sell them your shit (basically other people’s Guru shit).

I’ve been listening to this video for giggles for the past …. fuck it seems like hour. Affiliate Punisher is a huge crock of shit. If you listen to this, its line after line of after bullshit. Seriously, it’s pretty fucking funny.

This guy wants to show you today (once you buy the product of course)
1) That he was homeless
2) That he made money online jerking off all the other Gurus
3) How to jack other peoples adds, add “killer content” and attract “buyers”
4) 3 “secret” websites that he uses to make monies online. (Probably Google’s research tools, Ebay Pulse, etc etc – shit everyone knows but he is selling for close to 2 G’s)
5) FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

I swear to god, affiliate marketing is becoming more and more like MLM everyday.

Let it be known that PPC.bz is stepping its party game up big time. Clearly you can tell because we are planning 3 months in advance rather than 3 weeks. Ad:Tech SF will be from April 19-21 (why yes, it will also take place on 4/20)

This will be a bash to remember, and talked about for ages. While it won’t be as scandalous as the first Ad:Tech party we threw, it will be unforgettable.

The Great YTCracker and the Paper Clique will be performing obviously. But new shit has come to light, and we now have the resources to try and acquire a headline performer.

Please vote on who you would like to see perform at the next PPC.bz party. Even if you are not going, your opinion matters. Below are the performers we had in mind, and one of their hits you can check out.

We cannot guarantee anything yet, but we are definitely trying to gauge interest.

Edit: We may add some newer artists based on recommendations. One vote per day.
