Is PPC Coach Worth It – My PPC Coach Review

Well, I have now been a PPC-Coach member for about 2 months now, so I figured that I would post a little review of the system.

Without going into graphic detail about PPC-Coach, the system revolves around the process of learning PPC-Marketing on a monthly basis.

Month 1 starts you out on the absolute cheapest way to try your hand at PPC Bar-None (I spent maybe $50 total on everything). I did make some money using month 1′s tactics, overall it was pretty good, but very basic.

Month 2+ was really where the stuff started kicking in , part of it was promoting a $300 per lead offer (Now how’s that for a project?). I haven’t really spent a whole lot of time doing that one, but the 2nd month’s strategy guide is absolutely worth the price of admission times 10. Month 2 includes a “Special ” script when dealing with adwords that was absolutely phenominal. The first day of testing it I was able to get a QS10 on some words which was something I’ve never done (before that, my best was a 7QS)

Overall it’s been really worth it, PPC coach has been a good expirance, I definately would do it again, and do sugguest that anyone who hasn’t tried it go for a month.

I am offering a $20cdn discount off your first month of subscription if you email me prior to registration and then we can work out some details.

This Blog’s Progress

I wanted to post real quick about the progress of this specific blog.

Surprisingly enough, we just broke the top 1 million websites, and are ranked at  901,646 according to alexa’s website.

This will be the first time I’ve had a self hosted website break the 1 million mark (I have another one that’s around 250,000 I figure , but it’s a .com blog which I can’t track to well or monetize.)
I’ve got HUGE plans for the blog, and by huge, I mean so big no one else has done them before. I really want to empower people to change their lives, whether it be something small or something large, people need to realize that THEY are the ones in charge of where their life is headed, not someone else.

Far too many times I hear people ranting “I can’t do it” , “The goverment keeps me down” , “They don’t let people like me make money” or 100 other reasons that they CAN’T.

CAN’T is a word that I don’t like to use much , it states that some task is impossible.

Many people know that I’m a practicing Christian, which I don’t ever want to hide, and the Bible does say that “I can do all things through Christ”. I wish everyone would get the fact that there are very, very few things in life that are truely impossible.

I’ve also joined PPC Coach , Check out My PPC Coach Review and see how I’m doing with it.

I set out just 2 months ago to get a new source of income, and I am pleased to report that I am now making a equivilent of a 2nd, part time job just through PPC/SEO campaigns online. I’ve been making progress and should be making $100/day profit any day now.

I really think there’s some good things in store for the website, so PLEASE either join the RSS feed , or follow me on twitter. This will keep you in the loop of what’s going on, the hope is to run a few contests in the near future with a few AM networks.

Thanks for reading!

My Favorite Affiliate Marketing Companies

Market Leverage

This is the company I’ve run A LOT of stuff through, they’ve got tons of offers and the payout is generally higher than other networks.They don’t have alot of offers I see at other companies too, so signing up with them is a very good idea. They send payments out via fed-ex, which is great because waiting on a check SUCKS when you need to pay off credit cards.

  • 400+ Offers
  • Good Payouts
  • Good interface
  • 5% Recurring Commissions
  • I’ve made $921.80 with this company so far.


Flux Ads

This is a company I really do like , they’re one of the smaller companies, but they definitely have competitive payouts. I really like them for zip-submit/email-submit offers. In fact, this network has more zip submit offers than anyone else does.

  • 400+ Offers
  • Direct Trac Software
  • Great Email Submits
  • 2% Recurring Commission Program
  • I’ve made $39.50 with this company so far.

Amped Media

Obviously I haven’t used this company a whole lot. I originally signed up to them because I had heard they had good low-scrub zip-submits. This was very true, they did have a great group of zip-submits that were profitable. In addition to that , they do have plenty of other good offers I haven’t had enough time to really put them through their paces, but they’ve really got potential.

  • 150+ Offers
  • Direct Trac Software
  • Good Email Submits
  • 5% Recurring Commission Program
  • I’ve made $2.40 with this company so far.

Revenue Loop

This is one of those obscure (I haven’t seen anyone mention them before) Affiliate companies. I signed up with them because I saw they had a variation of a offer I was promoting. They’ve got quite a few unique programs that I haven’t seen anywhere else. The best thing is they tell you exactly what % they take off the top for any given offer. As you progress in your sales, you automatically get a pay increase. Of a few offers I compared, they had a better rate on many at the initial fee (So it’d be even better if you did well with this company).

  • Over 300+ Offers
  • Direct Trac Software
  • Lots of unique programs
  • High payouts
  • I’ve made $143.00 with this company so far.



Express Revenue

This is yet another company I found while researching affiliate companies for good zip-submit offers. Not only do they have really high paying zip-submit offers, but they’ve got alot of hard to find ones too (Like Netflix). The average payout is a little higher than most of the other companies. Their AMs are also super helpful, they have a background in Affiliate marketing, so when you ask them a question they know the answer and WHY you’re asking the question.

  • 150+ Offers
  • Good Payouts
  • Unique Offers
  • Hard-To-Find offers
  • I’ve made $8.00 with this company so far.


Neverblue

Neverblue is one of the big boy companies in the industry. The interface is relatively unique compared to everyone else (Navigating offers is pretty easy). Payouts are generally good, and they have TONS of offers. Being a neverblue parnter is a definate must IF you can get accepted. They are definately one of the harder networks to get into, and there’s good reason for that.

  • 800+ Offers
  • Great payouts
  • 2% Recurring program
  • Awesome interface
  • I’ve made $51.65 with this company so far.

January Update

Well , now adays I’m working 14 hours a day between my “Normal” day job (Real Estate) and working on this internet thing.

The great news is the fact I’m profitable on my online endeavours , so much so that I’ve almost hit the 100/day barrier. I’ve had several days so far over the past few weeks that were in the $75 profit range, but then sometimes the next day will be down a few dollars. Monday was pretty darn good, I spent $5 to make $85 which i think is pretty gosh darn awesome.
As of today I’ve made a little over $700 since Dec 1st with the online stuff, and have spent around maybe $400 on PPC advertising.

My new project is pretty darn cool celeb gossip and news is my new website. We’re doing a revenue share so people can get paid to write about stuff. I’m quite happy about the progress of the website, we’ve only been live for 2 days and had almost 40 subscriptions, it will be nice to help others make money online. I’ll keep you updated on my article website project as time goes on.

Post Christmas Update

Well , it seems like over the past few weeks everything has been a update.

I’ve been SUPER busy with working on other websites and sort of left this blog on autopilot for a while.

I’ve started 2 content based websites, 1 PPC landing page website and a review/arbitage website.

If you don’t know what these things are, some day I’ll explain them so you won’t feel so left out in the dark.

Anyways , one of the big things I’ve done in the past day or two was join PPC-Coach’s program. Everyone at wickedfire seemed to believe that PPC-C was a good program and would help affiliates who were loosing money to loose less money and had a decent chance of making actual money.

So far I’m in about 3 days of PPC Coach and have learned a sheer ton of information about making money from PPC style campaigns online. The information has been really good so far, although I can’t say the website is exactly what I was looking for. I do NOT believe it’s a end-all for affiliate marketing woes, but does help alot. I will be posting a full review in the near future, after  I have more time under my belt with the program.

I did have my first decent ROI on a product promotion (which was with the help of PPCCoach). My ROI has been -50%. That may seem like a bad loss , but it’s been my first “Big” Success, and I say this becuase many people are loosing bucketfulls of money. In this case ,I spent $2.50 to make $1.25. The reason I’m so happy is becuase the setup involved a AWFUL website layout which I know I could greatly improve my total conversion rate was 5.8%.

My Affiliate income is a little higher than my last post, it’s increased a little, and so has my adwords income, both are growing slightly. My expenses are still relatively high, but are getting a little bit more under control as I’m not spending more money on $25 domains like I was a few days ago.

Real Estate is still my #1 income source , but my goal of increasing my passive/part time income through affiliate marketing is making progress.

Another Money Update

Well, so far the past 4 days have been relatively good ,I’ve made a little more money with online advertising.

Right now, all my affiliate marketing has been done between Market Leverage & Motive Interactive.

I’ve been running PPC Ads via Google ,Yahoo , Facebook and Myspace. As of this time, Google & Yahoo are the only ones I’ve made a dime off of. In the beginning I figured Facebook would be a good source, as it’s quite easy to get a few hundred dollars in free advertising. Unfortunately along with low CTR rates, there has been no revenue from what I’ve done with them.

Yahoo would be #1 so far for the $ amount made from PPC, I’ve spent a total of around $25 in money there (Do some research and you can get $100 in free ads from them). Of that $25, about $10 has come back to me, which still is a negative cashflow. I hope to reverse this trend, but do realize I’m only a few days into this.

I’m a big full disclosure fan , so in the near future I’ll be posting up how everything has worked in detail (As much as I’m allowed).

I also updated my income statement, obviously real estate is still my primary income, but I have brought in a little bit of online income too.

2nd Week Review

Well , I’m so far into about 2 weeks of the new website project. Surprisingly this website is doing better and better, my traffic has just about doubled each week that I’ve been working on it.

My google stats have been GREAT as I’m starting to see traffic from keywords that I wouldn’t of expected, and my search traffic should increase a total of 400% from last week which is pretty good in itself.

While all is good with this website , my entrance into CPC advertising via online content websites has been SPECTACULAR failure. I’ve already had over 100 clickthroughs with NO sales from that source. I guess I only have myself to blame for writing crappy ads (I just changed them again tonight). I’ve been playing the game with various coupons I’ve found online, so thankfully I’m not spending money out of my own pocket.

Real estate (My normal job) Hasn’t been bad, I’ve converted a few of my leads to contracts which is great, but then after almost 3 years, I should be able to convert a sale.

My website traffic

My website traffic

As you can tell , the traffic has increased greatly over the past few days, and the best part is it’s mostly from search traffic (The early spike was from a few forum posts.)

Unfortunately my ad revenue isn’t increasing as well as I’d like as compared to my traffic. My CPM rate has been very erratic.

My current goal is to finish up the rest of the ads on this website, and then go onto my new project that I’m testing right now. Unfortunately I am having to learn to do everything myself rather than paying someone to develop it for me (I’m poor gosh darn it!).

I signed up with Motive Interactive Today and am REALLY liking the setup. Earlier last week I was able to make some money in a short time span from incentive offers, so I think that will be my best bet in the near future.

The BPO Tutorial – Issue #1 “The BPO Effect”

This will be a tutorial for real estate agents concerning the possibility of making a side income from BPOs. This will be the first in a series of how to make money in real estate , or as I like to call it “Keep Your Job , Post Credit Crash”.

Before I start, I would like to say, YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! I don’t care how long you’ve been involved in real estate, what area you are located in , or how much money you made last year.

Let’s face it , there are many real estate agents who are feeling a major pinch from the 2008 credit crisis , and if that wasn’t bad enough, for many 2007 wasn’t a great year either. Many feel lost in the field of real estate, that once was a great career and is now slowly becoming a liability.

These statements ring true for the hundreds of real estate agents that have emailed me over the past year, some going into great detail of their losses.

For me on the other hand, 2008 was my best year yet , in fact I made no less than double my 2007 income, which was more my 2006 income (I’ve grown 292% since my first year in real estate).

The majority of that income has been from SELLING HOUSES , and not BPO Income, in fact only around 20% of my income comes from doing BPOs.

I can not emphasize how much selling houses is better than doing BPOs, but regardless ,you’re here to learn about BPOs, Right?

BPOs Stand for Broker Price Opinions

These BPO services are requested by a huge variety of banks , asset management companies, investors and other sources to determine the value of a property. In years gone by, banks would hire appraisers to do these services, but like all businesses, they wanted to make things cheaper.

Banks looked to real estate agents to do these valuations for them, I have done a good deal of research into this, and in the beginning they weren’t a whole lot cheaper than appraisals (About $150 for a Exterior and up to $250 for a interior).

Many times , the banks used the agents that did the BPOs to market and sell the property for them to the open market (Also known as REOs, Bank Owned, or Foreclosures) to the open market.

These orders were relatively easy for a agent to perform, and paid quite well (Around $100 a hour in a many situations). Banks couldn’t get enough agents to perform the BPO work for them as the number of foreclosures grew, so like any economy student can tell you that when demand for a product goes UP and the supply of the product is STABLE , the price tended to increase a bit.

Now that we’ve got the history of BPOs and brought you up to date with them , the next few sections will cover the topics of actually getting them.
