Since the new, stricter FTC rules regarding affiliate marketing have been announced, do you do anything specific to comply? For example, do you: 1) Use a disclaimer on your landing pages? 2) Avoid using fake blogs? 3) Avoid "sketchy" offers? 4) Other? Johnny |

I don't know what all you experienced guys mean by "Revenue means Zero." When you invest X amount of money and get Y return. Then X-Y should be your ROI. Is that not the case? |

This is pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing. Who are some ppc's you'd recommend if not google? Yahoo/bing? I've had some success with adwords/LP and a colon cleanse CPA offer paying $32/lead. In 45 days I made 256 in revenue and spent about $60 in profit. Dealing with google was painful, and as much as I tweaked my campaigns I couldn't get the volume any higher, even with huge volume keyworks. Freaking google!! I'm really curious where you got the traffic. If I could perfect that, I think I could break thru with this stuff. |

| My AM at Copeac told me when I joined that they could wire daily if I did greater than $1K a day in revenue. I imagine if you have an AM, just talk to them about more frequent payouts. If your making them serious bling, they will change the rules of the game for you. I know they can typically change the payout as wells as the terms and conditions if the deal is right and traffic is legit.

Finally finished reading this whole thread. Thanks so much for all the info in here. I haven't even looked at facebook and/or $4 CPL offers. I've never been inclined to buy anything on facebook myself (with the exception of some stuff from the games from zynga). I've never even been inclined to click those ads on the side. I guess I'm not your target market eh? ![]() I've experimented a lot with google, but after reading through this thread I can see I was fighting a never ending battle with my rebill products. I actually got banned from one campaign I never even turned on (was a google biz kit)!! Had to do the whole IP/CC identity switch to get a new account. Sigh, freaking google! So my experiments have been in the zip/email submit space ($1-2 range) and the rebill space ($30+ range). I've also experimented with the clickbank CPS models (all $10+). I guess there is a large world there in the middle that I've not even explored. |

Congrats! I've had success with PPC, but I could never run a campaign for long even when it was profitable due to lack of funds. A minimum of $3000 - $4000 is needed to be able to cash in on a good campaign. You've motivated me enough to keep some money aside for PPC. Let us know when you make a "profit" of $41,000. |

| I'm trying to understand your post. Are you saying that his claim is not valid? Or are you saying that most people boast about revenue income (gross) and not (net)? Didn't he post his net income from his post? |

It was probably a general comment about people always writing about revenue figures instead of net of profit figures. Everybody knows revenue means nothing as PPC Coach suggested.

ROI is a percentage so your formula above is not for return or ROI but rather for net profit. Net profit is the real important metric of success, not revenue alone or cost alone. And yes that is the case, but revenue (x) means nothing without either the other variable of cost (y) or without your return (x-y)/x | |

So, not knowing what might convert well on facebook, but trying to think of the demographics, this is what I'd probably want to test. You don't have to tell me what you're promoting, but if you've tested any of these and failed, let me know so I don't have the same curse! educational products (grants, scholarships), dating (lots of singles on facebook), loan mods (probably a lot of folks in bad shape now in the 30+ age range) email submits might work, but really depends on what the PPC costs are like. |

Done a bit of everyhting. Spend a couple hundred and figure it out! Remember its usually the affilaite that doesnt make it work...not the offer. I could never get email or zips to work in FB though. Good luck Quote:

OK guys, so I have had my inbox full of PM's wanting to be mentored, asking for my network, people willing to pay for help...im already mentoring a buddy right now, but I figure I could take on 2 more people and still have time to work on my own. this is what i was thinking. im thinking ( if it happens or not) the 10 day course would include: 1) a step by step guide on how to set up the system incuding - a) my network b) all the crazy little tricks about my traffic source that makes testing so much cheaper and easier c) how to track and test everything ( must or you will fail) d) other free programs and software i use and where to get it e) other stuff 2) unlimited emails asking questions directly to me with daily responses 3) have my AIM or skype to chat and ask stuff 4) 1 phone call per day at a max of 30 minutes long To be honest it doesnt matter to me if i do this or not, it would be nice to help a few people out...i figured out the comitment/time/effort to do all this for 2 people... with my time being so valuable...but i also understand some of you are just starting out ( not much coin), i figured a fair figure would be $750 for full access to me and system and brain for the 10 days. 25% up front, then 50% at day 5, then 25% on completion. if you dont think it was worth it, ill give you the money back. i will be selecting the 2 people so please pm some of your history and why i should pick you. note: this is a rare chance....not sure if iw ill do it again...cant let everyone have these secrets, it wont be pretty ( as in the post above is typed fast and not edited) but it will work. if your serious about your business PM me why i should pick you. perhaps a phone call before commitment would be a good idea as well. just to see if you even like me and i like you. if its not fun i wont do it. good luck to all! |

I'm sorry but spending 41k to make a 12k profit is not that good and I don't know why people are getting all crazy over this. I'm sorry to crash the party, but that's just a fact. If you're spending a crap load of money to make a 20% ROI, that's not good. In fact, anything less than a 100% ROI needs to be tweaked until it gets to 100%. If you want to do well on facebook, stick to dating ads or e-mail submits. I was doing 300% ROI direct-linking e-mail submits. Then I started doing rebills and mobile and got banned |

what you said about the 300% ROI in email submits is really interesting, since I have a nice 100-150% ROI doing email submits but this traffic isn't too stable and I have a lot of maintenance to do to keep it going that way. If you have some tips on doing DL with email submits on Facebook I'll be more than glad if you share some of them. Thanks! | |

well done for all your achievements so far - if I get it right we're competing for the same place in the Costa Rica trip and I must say your results are pretty impressive. I think that maintaining a 20% ROI with this kind of spend is pretty risky and you should seek to improve it as quickly as possible since from my experience traffic in Facebook is very unstable and your CTR can drop easily while the CPC rises. My recommendation to you is to test tons of images - I've seen ads with the same targeting when one had a 0.1% CTR and the other one had a 0.8% CTR. An ad with a CTR like that has easily reached a CPC of $0.04-0.05 => higher ROI. However, I'm pretty sure you're aware of that. Anyway, good luck with the contest and who knows - maybe we'll see each other at Costa Rica :-) | |

Also, keep in mind the 2% is based off revenue. So your 80000 revenue would equate to 1600 in profit, and you had to do nothing. You just need 10 folks like that under you to completely replace your profit while you sit back and live the good life. In any case, I'd definitely have any of your mentees sign up under you to skim that 2%. | |

And about Facebook - it's all about the arbitrage - if your CPC is lower than the EPC - great. If not - pause the ad and test other copies. | |

First of all congrats on an your amazing success. This post surely has lifted my moods a great deal as it had made me realize the immense potential in IM. It has also renewed my interest in trying out ppc again. I had left it off after trying it for a couple of months and not noticing and good results. And that was long back when I was quite inexperienced in internet marketing. Maybe now that I have a lot more experience in IM, I should try it out again to speed things further up. Great going man, you rock. And thanks so much for posting about your success and providing inspiration to us. |
