Money is tight. You think you would like 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 in those incessant emails that pour into your mail box every morning. 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 rarely sent me anything. Actually it was kind of odd because he was one of the more widely respected and well-known super affiliates of our time. His name is Jeremy Palmer, and he was about to launch something he called the Black Ink Project.

Jeremy had acquired his fame 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 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 sold more than 5000 copies.

But then 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 more or less 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 teach one-on-one. Could it be possible, he wondered, to teach what he knew how to do so well 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 approach was needed.

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

As for those few lucky students that Jeremy taught directly - well, 4 out of the 5 he mentored soon began 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 approach was far more effective than even Jeremy had suspected was possible.

So when that email from him popped into my email box that morning, it was to announce that he was accepting an initial two thousand students to partake 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 turned out 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 see every single thing that he usually did to launch another 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 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
