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 start 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 popped an announcement from someone whose newsletter I had been on for a couple of years. But unlike those other annoying affiliate marketers, this one almost never sent me anything. Actually it was kind of odd because he happened to be one of the more 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 released an ebook entitled High Performance Affiliate Marketing, which he now makes available for free. In the book 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 annual affiliate income. His book went on to sell more than 5000 copies.

But then he began to sour on the thought of dealing with info products. The industry, it seemed to him, was awash in false promises and unrealistic marketing copy that brainwashed aspiring 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 handful of affiliates that he could teach 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 PPC 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 needed.

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

As for those fortunate students 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 pay per click affiliate marketing efforts. One went on (with his business partner) to earn an amzing $4,000,000 dollars over the next two years. You can see a video from this same affiliate on my site. Clearly the hands-on method was a great deal 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 members to take part 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 turned out to be highly instructive, and got the thumbs up all-round. But again, Jeremy wasn't entirely satisfied. So he ran a second version of the program, in which he allowed his audience to see every single thing that he normally did to launch a new campaign. Everything from selecting the niche, to keyword research, site planning and building, and the final setting up of pay per click 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 learn more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
