Man, I’m not sure about you guys, but I am getting thoroughly burnt out on all these Clickbank products that are all based on the same thing:
Use Adwords (PPC) while Promoting a Clickbank Item and you get affiliate riches.
I’m tired of this because it doesn’t work, because it does. Many people use this tactic to make them thousands (or even millions) every day/month/year.
In fact, the reason I am getting tired of it is because that’s almost anyone ever talks about anymore. Think about some of the biggest launches ever (even lately), and you’ll notice a familiar vibe….
- Google Massacre (I still like it though)
- Google Magic Formula
- Beating Adwords
- Affiliate Project X
- Google Cash
- Google Assassin (it did help with adsense, I’ll admit)
- Google Nemesis (the software was made for this purpose…)
- And now Commission Blueprint…
And there are others, but I’m not here to drag all these products down. Quite actually, I enjoyed reading (or using) many of these. But my point should only be pushing deeper into your head…
It’s a very over-used technique, that all the major marketers use, and make tons of money. What they don’t tell you is this:
- What categories they did so well in
- That it wasn’t all from PPC
- How much they spent to make all that money
Who knows what else…
I guess I really had nothing else to say about this topic. Maybe that’s why I like Affiliate Payload so much… Cause it’s different. (Still somewhat the same, but easier for beginners to use…)
Why can’t there be more topics about SEO, list building, or free traffic? Oh, because it’s a waste of time I guess. I don’t know, I was a big fan of Adwords for a while too, especially when I wrote Adwords on Overdrive. But now I kind of like using free traffic methods. It’s just more fun to me…
