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 begin making the kind of money that the super affiliates tease you with incessantly with those 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 quite some time. But unlike those other pesky affiliate marketers, this one almost never sent me anything. Which was kind of odd because he was one of the more widely respected and well-known super affiliates of today. 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 gives away. In it he detailed pretty much everything he knew about how to do profitable 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 whole idea of dealing with info products. The industry seemed to be awash in false promises and outrageous 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 off to perform some experiments on a just a few affiliates that he could mentor one-on-one. Could it be possible, he wondered, to teach the things he was doing successfully to others who wanted to gain that same level of success with pay per click strategies? It didn't work with ebooks, he'd found. 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 required.

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

As for those fortunate students that Jeremy taught directly - 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 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 approach was a great deal more effective than even Jeremy had suspected was possible.

So when that email from him popped into my email box that day, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial 2000 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 profit-pulling campaigns.

The course proved to be highly 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 watch 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 overlooked ad-tracking to maximize profits. This course is now 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 which builds these affiliate review sites for you, which I give away to course members. You can learn more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
