Your wallet is empty. You think you would like 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 morning. So what do you do?

I was asking myself the same 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 pesky affiliate marketers, this one almost never sent me anything. Which was kind of odd because he happened to be one of the most widely respected and well-known super affiliates of today. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was about to launch something he called 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 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 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 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 mentor one-on-one. Was it possible, he wondered, to teach the things he was doing successfully 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 much with their newfound knowledge. He was sure that a more hands-on approach was required.

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

As for those few lucky students that Jeremy taught directly - well, 4 out of the 5 he mentored went on to earn more than $10,000/month with their PPC-based 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 method 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 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 completely satisfied. So he ran a second version of the program, in which he allowed his audience to watch every single thing that he normally did to launch a new campaign. Everything from the niche-selection, 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 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 find out more about that in my Black Ink Project Review
