Why You Shouldn't Be An Affiliate Marketer In Today's Internet Business.
What's the most common way for an affiliate marketer to start? What does the majority of eBooks tell beginners to start off with in affiliate marketing?
That's right - PPC. Or Pay-per-click advertising.
From my point of view, pay per click Advertising is a sure-fire way to get killed on the internet.
So this is the general lifetime of a beginner internet marketer that starts out wrongly:
1. Hates his job. Looks for other opportunities.
2. Discovers the internet, wow, you can make money off of that?
3. Buys an eBook from one of the 'gurus' and expert. Often they will buy their up sells too, because that is, to them, more money to be made in the long run. Right. This eBook tells him to start affiliate marketing with Google AdWords. Brilliant idea, eh?
4. He puts his life savings on his Adwords account... Easy cash, right?
5. Gathers every keyword he can come up with and uses every (expensive) keyword tool known to man.
5. Tries direct linking to his clickbank affiliate hoplink.
6. Burns a few hundred dollars on AdWords, gets a few sales. Sure, you get a few sales, but the adspend outweighs this by far.
7. Gets depressed for losing $300 on the internet.
8. Gets in further debt.
9. Hates the internet and goes back to his cubicle forever.
This exact process has happened countless of times. ppc affiliate marketing is like one of the most competetive industries in the world. Any old beginner should never, ever do head into that.
Sure, they could try article marketing, but the average Joe in a 9-5 job doesn't have time for that. You need hundreds of articles if you want to be a successful article marketer and some people are pumping out 50 articles or more every day.
People like Sean Mize are some of the most successful article marketers around, and he has an entire crew writing articles for him, so he pumps out a few hundred articles every day.
What is the best zero risk opportunity to make (a lot) of money online, except article marketing?
That is, in my opinion, something called the Automated Cash Formula. This system was invented by a man named Dave Gale from the UK.
It's based on setting up little "projects" which each take between 15 minutes to 2 hours to set up. Each project can make you up to $5000...
And, get this: No selling is involved. No websites are involved. No advertising whatsoever.
It's like simplicity in a nutshell.
A pretty famous marketer by the name of Rob Benwell reported using this system, this is what he did:
He set up ONE single project out of the Automated Cash Formula, and then left it like that on autopilot. EIGHT days later he got a check in the mailbox for $688.53. Not bad, I'd say.
I've used this system too with similiar results, every time.
The more projects you set up, the more money you'll make. Each project can make you money for years too, all on autopilot... See, it's not especially difficult at all to set up one of these projects, just do it, you know?
