PPC Classroom

TessaRose · 10-24-2008, 08:55 AM

Yes, don't worry. These guys are honest but the system just wasn't ready to go when resealed. I had to submit a support ticket @ Affiliate Classroom to ask if I could please view my support ticket at PPC Classroom. They gave me my access back - so try that. My tickets had been answered satisfactorily but I had no way of knowing that!

Hi Ramo,
Net profit after ppc adspend was around $1 million.
-Amit

FYI, Ramo had asked how much of his $2.4 million gross was profit (look up a couple of posts).

As yet another FYI, Amit doesn't actually net that $1m either. He reveals in another post that he pays a significant percentage to his "team" to do the grunt work for him so he has time to live what he likes to call the "super affiliate lifestyle".

In short, according to his own posts on his own blog, he makes a few hundred K a year (before taxes) off PPC (which is a nice living obviously and more than enough to qualify him as "an expert", IMHO).

As for my review of PPCC, I bought PPCC 1 and was "underwhelmed" with it. I think PPCC 2.0 is a better product (and definitely a better value considering the price).

Personally, I bought PPCC 2 mainly for the bonuses. I was about to buy Marketing Bully for $49 when Andre said I could have it as a bonus, so I really only paid $28 for PPCC 2 the way I see it...and I figure Amit is almost certainly bound to know *something* I'd pay $28 for, LOL!

nofearman · 10-25-2008, 04:19 PM

I watched the promo video for PPC Classroom and I was quite surprised when Amit answered a couple questions about Clickbank that sounded like he didn't have a strong knowledge of it. So, it kind of turned me off

PPC-Coach · 10-26-2008, 01:46 PM

I've been watching thier launch and they did an awesome job of generating a ton of buzz, (I'm jealous!). But on the service issue, give them some room to wiggle, they got a couple thousand people signed up in a very short time frame and are no doubt bombarded with support tickets.

But one thing I wanted to throw out there is this:

There are NO secrets to succeeding with PPC. There are no magic pills, no missing links, no shortcuts to success.

As stated above, Amit makes several hundred thousand before taxes after paying all his team and ppc expenses. He got to 2.4 million gross revenue by sheer hard work on the part of him and his team. Could anyone do that? No, because most lack the work ethic and follow through to see a business plan like that through. But don't buy any ppc product or service that you think is going to give you the "secret to success". When I started, I searched for that magic pill for a long time. It does not exist. Every huge affiliate I know, (most don't reveal their names or what they do as there are far more "unknowns" doing huge numbers then well known names), got to their level by not giving up and working their asses off. Even the "I work 2 hours per day and then sip drinks on the beach the rest of the day" mindset does nothing but hurt people who are new to ppc. You may get to that point eventually, but it will take at least a year of hard work to do so. That year includes failing miserably several times and questioning if you know what you're doing or if ppc is for you.

Anyhow, just wanted to throw that out there. Give the guys a break, they're busy and I'm sure they'll get back to you as soon as they can.

Hi,

When I log in to either the member login or the affiliate login, it jumps to a page that says "Please complete your registration" and then jumps back to the login page saying "No new members are being accepted".

If I then re-click the "Member Login" link, it jumps into my account showing training progress etc BUT none of the links work including the Support link. It just keeps saying "You do not have permission to access this page"

I'm pretty stuck here. Does anybody have an email address for them that I can contact directly??

Thanks.

TessaRose · 10-26-2008, 02:45 PM

Here you go. This one worked for me so good luck!

This paragraph is lifted from one of my support replies from Affiliate Classroom when I asked for access to PPC Classroom support.

" If you are having trouble with that please e-mail me personally
at Andrew (at) AffiliateClassroom.com and we'll try to get your issue
resolved within 24-48 hours. "

Tessa

dectomax · 10-27-2008, 05:44 AM

Thanks very much. Emailed him and all sorted. Seems they had refunded the money and then shut my account. The money must be taking time to come through to my card.

Thanks again.

TessaRose · 10-27-2008, 05:54 AM

Hey, you're welcome!

Glad it all got sorted.

I do agree, but to the average noob there are a ton of ebooks on PPC and 90% of them are crap. PPC Classroom, although the hype is a bit missleading, has the nessesary information to help in understanding and implementing PPC correctly.

We all have to start somewhere, like $6 adspend a day to $1,000.

Crap, thhhhhhhhhhe h key just broke on my keyboard. hhhhhhhhhelp! lol

Save your money, buy Perry Marshall's "Ultimate Adwords" book. for $20 Perry is far beyond most self proclaimed PPC gurus.

nofearman · 10-27-2008, 06:33 PM

Tommy, Just buy Perry Marshalls "Ultimate Adwords" book for $20, you'll save a lot and probably learn a lot more. I think Askloz is on the PPC Classroom payroll. Or maybe an affiliate promoting the product.

You lost then.

In order to spend something, you need to make it back, plus any profit. He never stated that he profited by 2.4mil, he said he made 2.4mil, got his capital back, plus profits.

tommyp · 10-28-2008, 10:03 AM

Oh come off it. This is the exact same crap you've been pulling lately like in another topic when someone called you "askloz" and you called him an idiot because he didn't look in your signature to see your name is "loz" even though it's common for people to refer to others here by their login names. So you pick on BS instead of the crux of the matter just because you have to be right.

And now you're coming back at me with that reply when it does/did in fact say in the member's area that the site would only be available in 30 days because they wanted people to go through the training before they could get to the forum, and there is or was (I haven't logged in in days) no mention of maintenance there. Why in the hell should I look far when I have a statement right there in front of me in the member's area? I'm paraphrasing but that's what they said. I meant "no mention of bugs in the member's area" and even if you didn't know what I meant that doesn't change the fact that they said it was because they wanted people to go through the training first.

Your quip cop outs are becoming tiresome.

Unless you can answer questions instead of waltzing around specifics your posts here hardly count considering you may have a bias since you're a moderator over there and all you give are BS retorts and can hardly answer anything definite.

I've had enough of coming back to this thread. I'm as stupid as you are for constantly returning.

I never called any one an Idiot, get your facts right Tommyp.

You can't handle the fact that you were wrong, again, most whingers are. Take a pill. I proved you wrong again. Try looking in front of your nose, instead of behind it.

Your whinging is becoming tiring, I know of 5 yr olds that act more behaved then you. Grow up!

Delanda · 10-28-2008, 11:39 AM

I purchased a couple weeks ago for $77. I've now started to go through the information. It's pretty basic information to start, but as it progresses it becomes more detailed. It's a good course for the beginner who is looking to be hand held from the start to the finish of their first PPC campaign.

are you a member of ppc classroom? if not then how can u make this statement?

i AM a member and happy with what i've received so far. I also have perry marshall's book and amit covers a way to build, expand and organize kw lists and campaigns that's worth the cost of this material alone. perry's book doesn't go that far into detail. and like most good marketers perry's using that book to "introduce" you to him and his other products. that book is only an introduction to his more higher priced seminars, books and membership programs.

sannyman · 10-29-2008, 07:42 AM

Ok, here it comes my second part about the issue I've had with PPC Classroom:
I have to admit that these guys are 100% honest and there is no "dirty trick" behind the cumbersome system. I've posted my claim in the PPC support forum and I got the answer to give additional details, which is acceptable. Once my problem was acknowledged, it was solved in less then 24 hours (for those who haven't seen my first post, I have been billed twice). I have waited until today (with this post) in order to have the proof that the actual money returned into my account.
The conclusion is that once you get in their system, things are running smooth. And the best of all, they are honest people.

sannyman · 10-29-2008, 07:52 AM

One more thing, that I've missed to underline: while Affiliate Classroom's support forum notifies you by email when your ticket got replies, the one at PPC Classroom DOESN'T! So, you may get answers to your questions, but unless you HAVE access / especially look for your ticket's status inside the support forum, you won't know.

launch3 · 10-29-2008, 04:33 PM

I purchased the PPC Classroom 2.0 membership. Here are my thoughts.

First, I remember advertising on Goto.com (which then became Overture, now Yahoo!) and had success with my PPC campaigns way back then. But that's when it was so much easier.

I've been out of PPC for a long time while I built niche authority sites. Now it's time to compliment my sites & expand with PPC advertising.

I purchased Perry Marshall's AdWords Guide which is absolutely fantastic. However, it is lacking in the affiliate area. So when Perry emailed me and recommended PPC Classroom 2, I purchased it. I must have recieved 10 other 'guru' emails recommending it, but I take Perry's advice. I really wanted some of the bonuses too (6 landing page samples, high-converting ads, power words, keyword tools, etc...).

I've completed Modules 1-9 and passed each of the quizzes. VERY informative and helpful information. I cannot tell you how many mistakes I either would have made or have already made. This is an excellent course for newbies to intermediate advertisers, so much so that I've even redesigned web pages on my sites that have nothing to do with PPC - and all are converting much better now.

The course itself, for $77, has been worth the expense based on the education and tools I've downloaded. I am also very impressed with the professional look and feel inside the members area. Definitely not done half-assed.

The million dollar question is whether I can run a successful campaign based on PPC Classroom.

I am researching several niches for affiliate products I know convert on my sites (a good head start), and will start testing them on AdWords in the next week or two.

LOL, that's funny, no i'm not on their payroll, I just believe in their product, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be making a $20-30k, and some months a lot higher, each month - on autopilot. You'll learn a more at PPC Classroom than the Perry Marshall stuff.

jesselucus · 10-30-2008, 11:58 AM

Hi all,

I purchased the PPC Classroom 2.0 membership, too.

And, I've completed Modules 1-9 and passed each of the tests. There are a lot of helpful information. I tried so many times correct my mistakes to pass the test. This is really great course for PPC newbies, like me.

I will keep my membership and wait for new courses next month.

Charann Miller · 10-30-2008, 02:42 PM

I bought it, I think it's worth the value.

Lots of beginner stuff in there but some good advanced stuff too. It's worth the $77 but will have to see if it's worth the $29.95/month plus the $19.95/month for the Niche Detective club I signed up for. Yes there for a whole heap of up sells, but I guess they are just being effective marketers. It's the nature of the game.

Did you get more value from version 1 or the new product?

askloz · 10-31-2008, 01:40 PM

Well, there's a lot more stuff in version 2 than there was in version 1. But there was enough stuff in version 1 to get a lot of people off the ground for the first time. Now version 2 goes one step further, to go way overboard to push up the percentage mark of those to earn more than $5k per month, which many version 1 members are currently doing during the last year.

With Amit on board showing his "view" on how he does things, with the outlined course material will surely speed up the learning curve in a big way.

I'm still yet to go through all the material, but from what I have seen so far, I just wish it was included in the first version.

Those that get in now, are saving big time, but I have been told that this price is going to go way up! A lot lot higher since so many people have jumped in.

I'd grab it now if you haven't before they do raise the price.

Thanks Loz,

I got plenty from version one as well. I thing the basic elements are the key and then building on those with testing and innovation.

lassitermarketing · 11-03-2008, 06:30 PM

I am loving it. I followed the plan, redid some campaigns I have for my own products and today I paid .06 a click for clicks I normally pay .70-.85 for. Yay!!!

askloz · 11-03-2008, 06:37 PM

well done.

And that's just to start, you'll find later that even keywords that people would normally pay around $2-5 or so for can be gotten for less than 50 cents

Li Weng · 11-09-2008, 02:42 AM

I'm not big on PPC, as all the traffic techniques I use are free methods. But Amit's story sounded quite impressive so I decided to check it out. I have to say the $77 for the program is dirt cheap. There's definitely a lot of value in the product, and the bonuses are actually good.

At the end, I cancelled my membership and got a refund because I was put off by the poor support and lack of service. But I think it's a great product. If I was more into PPC I'd definitely stayed as a member.

upnorth · 11-13-2008, 05:25 PM

I made the decision to keep my membership.

Yes there is a lot of stuff I already knew but I did learn a few imp tricks and I am sure I can still learn a lot from Amit.

Overall, I am satisfied with this membership.

greg_hughes · 11-13-2008, 07:10 PM

We bought it the day it came out.
If you are new to Affiliate Marketing with Adwords, it an EXCELLENT value. I fyou are an experienced marketer, it's well worth the bonuses alone.

Anik is a straight-shooter, an honest stand-up guy and can be trusted.

naruq · 11-14-2008, 11:30 AM

Excellent Post Jay! I agree with you. I have purchased marketing products online and offline and the marketer who tries to upsell me with additional products and services that will add value will have my business.

Hey Askloz: I like your suggestion: "don't like it, get a refund" That is exactly what I want to do. I've made multiple attempts without results. Do you have a suggestion as to how those of us who are unhappy can get that refund?

Thanks!

You should contact Amit directly. He's got a blog. When I was on the program, the help desk was hopeless. Straight after I requested refund, they barred my access to the pages, including the helpdesk. So there was no way that I could contact them about anything regarding my refund. At the end I had to contact Amit to get this resolved. Don't get me wrong, I still believe it's a very good product. But I'm very picky with support and customer service. That's what put me off the most.

Matt D · 11-18-2008, 05:38 PM

Guys,

Unless you are really a ppc ppro, this is a great value for the information that is available. If you don't like it then you can always cancel the continuity aspect of it.

If you've run any ppc, you know that one small minor change can have a HUGE impact on your campaigns. Like I said, you really would have to have been in the adwords game a long time to NOT pick up at least one new technique that could pay for itself many times over.

JCWHong · 11-18-2008, 06:18 PM

I'm a member of PPC Classroom, and I have found it to be very useful -- however, I'm completely new to PPC and internet marketing.

PPC Classroom has 9 modules so far and a bunch of bonus modules.

They recently opened up the forum, which has been great because now you have somewhere to go and post all of the questions that you have.

girliemarketing · 11-18-2008, 07:10 PM

Same here! Very little ppc experience prior to joining. I have found
it to be of tremendous value!

Another peeve of mine is when a sales page declares you get an array of bonus products, but when you buy the product you find out you cannot get the bonuses unless you sign up to the mailing list of the owner of the bonus you want to download.. isn't a bonus an added gift for making the purchase?

That's one thing that put me off too. I liked the bonuses from PPC Classroom itself, but didn't think too much of the partner bonuses. Most of them are memberships offering first month free trial, and after that there's a monthly fee charged.

kierenm · 11-27-2008, 10:38 PM

I don't know other people are saying in this thread, but I purchased PPC classroom and it proved to be a real eye opener on doing PPC. I'd recommend it.. especially since it's under 100 bucks. Don't really know about all the upsells though, I got the seminar videos and these turned out to have plenty of valuable information, but I can't see a lot in the niche club or ppc tools. ..it's all just my opinion though.

Unfortunately for newcomers, I think membership to PPC classroom is currently closed

oh well, for a similar spin on making affiliate commissions through PPC with even more sweet video tutorials than PPC classroom, I'd recommend you look at realaffiliateincome.com/blueprint It's definitely a stand-out course for me that really delivered- it actually IS a solid blueprint on everything you've gotta do to make a great income, even if you're a beginner.
.. I think it's going to cost a fair bit more than $97.00 shortly though, which isn't cool! Still probably worth it though

oh, and you can get a further $10 discount if you go to the sales page and then close the window.. just sayin',

Cheers.

Hey Guys
I am a PPC Classroom member who bought the $77 programm then upgrade to the VIP plan for the "HAND HOLDING" as Amit promised, however i am now currently "BANNED FOREVER" really dont know why!
Sent a message via the contact us link enquireing why and will wait patiently to see if it is resolved with either my money back,me being unbanned or some communication from Amit/Anik or any of the moderators at PPC CLASSROOM...I am a little jaded by this and a few more issue with PPC CLASSROM 2.0, BUT I WILL REMAIN POSITIVE.

P.S PLZ AMIT & ANIK PLZ LET ME KNOW WHAT'S UP!! your student trying to learn here!!!

TessaRose · 11-28-2008, 01:44 PM

Well ... thought I had it resolved. Got a refund and was assured my account was cancelled. Now they've just debited my cc again!!! Sent an email to support but no reply. I now these guys have a good reputation but I'll never buy from them again. Never.

Tessa

TessaRose · 12-01-2008, 02:57 AM

Thanks ... I'm getting a tad impatient, I must admit. 4 days now since I contacted support about this and still no reply. Think it might be time to change my tone

I'd just advise anyone else who's been reassured that their account was cancelled to keep an eye on their cc statement.

Elliott · 12-01-2008, 03:44 AM

I thought I had an issue with the monthly subscriptions involved - The Basic and the Niche Detective, but I found that you can turn these off right on the homepage after you log in, so it was probably my own forgetfulness about the terms that was at fault.

It is true that the "support" tickets etc seem to be a mess, but I like the site quite a bit. For "ppc noob" like me it seems to be worth every penny of the $77. at least.

I hope they get the tech & support issues smoothed out, because i think it is a very nice, informative, and worthwhile site.

Elliott

Mary Greene · 12-03-2008, 12:52 AM

After the trial period, PPC Classroom customers who don't pay the monthly continuity will only have access to the $77 basic modules (and whatever add-ons they paid to see). The basic course bonuses and partner bonuses links still appear but lead to deadends. Of course, all the free monthly Niche recommendations disappear. The tools and webinars also disappear.

My near namesake, Mary Green (without the "e") told me she took full advantage of the Forum and other services. PPC was a high priority on her list, so she gained valuable tips and practice. Support AND strategies are available there. And the original partner bonuses were terrific deals if you actually used them before they disappeared. Of course, the contradicting advice always makes life interesting, too.

BOTTOM LINE
PPC Classroom's marketing genius shows up in the partner bonuses with purchase discounts plus short fuses plus the dizzying upsells. With a low entry price and dazzling products vying for attention, nobody will have time to try everything out in the trial period. They'll probably continue the membership and buy from some of the partners. Wouldn't you love to see their conversion numbers from PPC Classroom 1 versus PPC Classroom 2?

PPC Classrooom's marketing idiocy shows up in the user messages to those who don't renew. Clicking on the Forum link, I read in big letters "You are permanently BANNED from the Forum." or something similar. Maybe I'm just not insecure enough, but the "Don't be a loser" appeal backfires for me. Do they really want customers who spend $77-$497 to feel unwelcome in the future?

borilbogoev · 12-10-2008, 02:17 AM

Hi,

I am a current member of PPC Classroom 2.0.

Yes, I know that they send a lot of "SPAM" trying to make you buy something, but the information on the site is very well structured and very clear. I like it and I am using it daily.

the first day I used the techniques there I made more than $70 profit from Google AdWords with one single ClickBank offer.

As stated above, Amit makes several hundred thousand before taxes after paying all his team and ppc expenses. He got to 2.4 million gross revenue by sheer hard work on the part of him and his team. Could anyone do that? No, because most lack the work ethic and follow through to see a business plan like that through. But don't buy any ppc product or service that you think is going to give you the "secret to success". When I started, I searched for that magic pill for a long time. It does not exist. Every huge affiliate I know, (most don't reveal their names or what they do as there are far more "unknowns" doing huge numbers then well known names), got to their level by not giving up and working their asses off. Even the "I work 2 hours per day and then sip drinks on the beach the rest of the day" mindset does nothing but hurt people who are new to ppc. You may get to that point eventually, but it will take at least a year of hard work to do so. That year includes failing miserably several times and questioning if you know what you're doing or if ppc is for you. Anyhow, just wanted to throw that out there. Give the guys a break, they're busy and I'm sure they'll get back to you as soon as they can.

I've now started to go through the information. It's pretty basic information to start, but as it progresses it becomes more detailed. It's a good course for the beginner who is looking to be hand held from the start to the finish of their first PPC campaign.

Posts: 107 Thanks: 7 Thanked 4 Times in 4 Posts	Re: PPC Classroom Ok, here it comes my second part about the issue I've had with PPC Classroom: I have to admit that these guys are 100% honest and there is no "dirty trick" behind the cumbersome system. I've posted my claim in the PPC support forum and I got the answer to give additional details, which is acceptable. Once my problem was acknowledged, it was solved in less then 24 hours (for those who haven't seen my first post, I have been billed twice). I have waited until today (with this post) in order to have the proof that the actual money returned into my account. The conclusion is that once you get in their system, things are running smooth. And the best of all, they are honest people.

So, you may get answers to your questions, but unless you HAVE access / especially look for your ticket's status inside the support forum, you won't know.

launch3 SolveYourProblem.com Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Boca Raton, Florida Posts: 90 Thanks: 0 Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts	Re: PPC Classroom I purchased the PPC Classroom 2.0 membership. Here are my thoughts. First, I remember advertising on Goto.com (which then became Overture, now Yahoo!) and had success with my PPC campaigns way back then. But that's when it was so much easier. I've been out of PPC for a long time while I built niche authority sites. Now it's time to compliment my sites & expand with PPC advertising. I purchased Perry Marshall's AdWords Guide which is absolutely fantastic. However, it is lacking in the affiliate area. So when Perry emailed me and recommended PPC Classroom 2, I purchased it. I must have recieved 10 other 'guru' emails recommending it, but I take Perry's advice. I really wanted some of the bonuses too (6 landing page samples, high-converting ads, power words, keyword tools, etc...). I've completed Modules 1-9 and passed each of the quizzes. VERY informative and helpful information. I cannot tell you how many mistakes I either would have made or have already made. This is an excellent course for newbies to intermediate advertisers, so much so that I've even redesigned web pages on my sites that have nothing to do with PPC - and all are converting much better now. The course itself, for $77, has been worth the expense based on the education and tools I've downloaded. I am also very impressed with the professional look and feel inside the members area. Definitely not done half-assed. The million dollar question is whether I can run a successful campaign based on PPC Classroom. I am researching several niches for affiliate products I know convert on my sites (a good head start), and will start testing them on AdWords in the next week or two. Jeff

Lots of beginner stuff in there but some good advanced stuff too. It's worth the $77 but will have to see if it's worth the $29.95/month plus the $19.95/month for the Niche Detective club I signed up for. Yes there for a whole heap of up sells, but I guess they are just being effective marketers. It's the nature of the game.

But Amit's story sounded quite impressive so I decided to check it out. I have to say the $77 for the program is dirt cheap. There's definitely a lot of value in the product, and the bonuses are actually good. At the end, I cancelled my membership and got a refund because I was put off by the poor support and lack of service. But I think it's a great product. If I was more into PPC I'd definitely stayed as a member.

If you don't like it then you can always cancel the continuity aspect of it. If you've run any ppc, you know that one small minor change can have a HUGE impact on your campaigns. Like I said, you really would have to have been in the adwords game a long time to NOT pick up at least one new technique that could pay for itself many times over.

kierenm HyperActive Warrior Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: WA, Australia Posts: 57 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Social Networking	Re: PPC Classroom I don't know other people are saying in this thread, but I purchased PPC classroom and it proved to be a real eye opener on doing PPC. I'd recommend it.. especially since it's under 100 bucks. Don't really know about all the upsells though, I got the seminar videos and these turned out to have plenty of valuable information, but I can't see a lot in the niche club or ppc tools. ..it's all just my opinion though. Unfortunately for newcomers, I think membership to PPC classroom is currently closed oh well, for a similar spin on making affiliate commissions through PPC with even more sweet video tutorials than PPC classroom, I'd recommend you look at realaffiliateincome.com/blueprint It's definitely a stand-out course for me that really delivered- it actually IS a solid blueprint on everything you've gotta do to make a great income, even if you're a beginner. .. I think it's going to cost a fair bit more than $97.00 shortly though, which isn't cool! Still probably worth it though oh, and you can get a further $10 discount if you go to the sales page and then close the window.. just sayin', Cheers.

It is true that the "support" tickets etc seem to be a mess, but I like the site quite a bit. For "ppc noob" like me it seems to be worth every penny of the $77. at least. I hope they get the tech & support issues smoothed out, because i think it is a very nice, informative, and worthwhile site. Elliott

Mary Greene HyperActive Warrior War Room Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: , , USA. Posts: 257 Thanks: 48 Thanked 8 Times in 8 Posts	Re: PPC Classroom After the trial period, PPC Classroom customers who don't pay the monthly continuity will only have access to the $77 basic modules (and whatever add-ons they paid to see). The basic course bonuses and partner bonuses links still appear but lead to deadends. Of course, all the free monthly Niche recommendations disappear. The tools and webinars also disappear. My near namesake, Mary Green (without the "e") told me she took full advantage of the Forum and other services. PPC was a high priority on her list, so she gained valuable tips and practice. Support AND strategies are available there. And the original partner bonuses were terrific deals if you actually used them before they disappeared. Of course, the contradicting advice always makes life interesting, too. BOTTOM LINE PPC Classroom's marketing genius shows up in the partner bonuses with purchase discounts plus short fuses plus the dizzying upsells. With a low entry price and dazzling products vying for attention, nobody will have time to try everything out in the trial period. They'll probably continue the membership and buy from some of the partners. Wouldn't you love to see their conversion numbers from PPC Classroom 1 versus PPC Classroom 2? PPC Classrooom's marketing idiocy shows up in the user messages to those who don't renew. Clicking on the Forum link, I read in big letters "You are permanently BANNED from the Forum." or something similar. Maybe I'm just not insecure enough, but the "Don't be a loser" appeal backfires for me. Do they really want customers who spend $77-$497 to feel unwelcome in the future?
