    Hard to tell without knowing how much you know, but I found Commission Blueprint a great product. Though I bought it when it was flat fee and now it's a monthly membership... but I think you get all videos on PPC right away and then you can cancel. Anyway, worth to look into.

      I don't think, that's what i'm looking for.

      Anyone else know, sorry to be asking, but i have my investment ready to go, just not enough information to act on.

      Cheers.

      • Commission Blueprint is VERY basic and you won't compete with that type of information. PPC is a very complicated beast and either you go PRO or you go BROKE!

        I've heard that Pay Per Click Formula 2.0 is the best out there.

          I am currently subscribed to PPC Classroom 2.0 and PPCF 2.0, and honestly, I think PPCF 2.0 suits me better.
          PPCF 2.0 is ex though, $1297, but it has

          - most camtasia vids are bite-size (5-8mins) with exceptions of 3 or 4 long ones
          - pdfs of about 15 of its 18 modules
          - action plans of all 18 modules (really useful if you want to get started)
          - recordings of all webinars
          - transcripts of all webinars
          - videos of PPCF2 seminar held in Canada
          - prompt email response from either Gauher himself or his assistant

          For ppc classroom 2.0, I've had no problems with their support but I've got some issues with their content. Will discuss this privately if anybody wishes to know more.

          100% agree.

          My suggestion is that you do not get into PPC until
          you understand the psychology and mechanics
          behind basic online marketing.

          Learn basic SEO first. In my experience there is
          almost no difference between SEO and PPC when
          it comes to understanding how move an audience
          to take action.

          Doing it this way you'll save yourself THOUSANDS
          of lost (Insert your local currency here)

          Hope that helps

            I'm prepared to do anything to make a winning campaign..

            I spent £6.23 last week and earned approx £14 the stats aren't fully in yet.

            I just want to step this up, but don't want to be hit in the pocket.

            That's why I want/need some sort of guidance just to make sure I don't lose.

    Have you actually went through it to make such a statement? Or have you come to that conclusion just by reading random responses made by people who very likely don't understand what the heck is going on? Because you see, Commission Blueprint is pretty close to what I would call an advanced course. It focuses on one specific technique, not even a topic. In contrast to PPC Formula which tries to cover absolutely everything. And even though I haven't bought PPC Formula, somehow I doubt it is even possible to cover all that on the advanced level, intermediate at best, in one course.

    I would reverse your statement by saying that "PPC is a very complicated beast and either you go PRO or you go BROKE", therefore you must have strong fundamentals to make a proper use of a bit more advanced techniques such as Commission Blueprint proposes.

    I've recommended Commission Blueprint because I made a good use of it and I sure as heck can tell you I can and do compete with that type of information. The one thing I don't like is that they mashed it up with their membership program which now makes the whole delivery of the product a bit misleading.

  • Yes I do have Commission Blueprint and there's nothing "advanced" on it as far as PPC goes. However, if you found it useful more power to you.

    Well, I can only assume you have a really deep knowledge of ppc and what the product talks about is really basic to you. Come to think of it, once you know something it really is quite trivial once you read it again.

    But to be fair, we shouldn't judge the level of knowledge the information provides from our subjective point of view. The mere fact that it focuses on one specific technique makes it intermediate at the very least. And for what it's worth, I wouldn't recommend Commission Blueprint to a newbie.

    As an Instructional Technology doctral student, I have a different perspective.

    Once you have read through enough opinions here on a short list of courses, taste the courses to see whose style will help you to take action. Then push the limits on what the instructors tell you. Don't miss anything; do everything.

    I didn't believe it when people told me all you have to do is take action. But I think it is true after a while in this game.

    The courses that the gentlemen have mentioned have good and bad features. But it depends on how you learn. So watch the tutorial/promotionals and see who can teach you. Believe it or not (this is where my research matters), not every pdf and video series is good for every person that buys.

    There are courses that I would make money from that might drive you up the wall. There are courses that you could learn and make money from that would cause me the shakes. Candidly, I am thinking of showing folks what makes teaching online work and what doesn't. Most people do it wrong.

    Research suggests that the issue is not even what you learn that matters. It is what you do with what you understand. There is a difference. Not all couses help you understand a subject to the point where you take the kind of action that will make you money. But you are the wildcard; what matters is who can help you understand well enough to take action.

    An old minister from my hometown used to say that "it will work if you work it".

    Having said that, money should not be an object when you feel that you have selected a course that has good content and that you can learn from. Figure out how to save up the money for that course. So that you can work it intensely when you get it.

    Don't buy any course if you really aren't ready to work it intensely. Instead, get something free here in the War Room of the Forum and spend the rest on outsourcing on a real project that you like and understand. You will probably start making money while you make up your mind.

    Once you have more money then you can make the decision on the basis of which one is going to provide the most value, whether that course is $20 or $2500.

    Only an academic can the answer to a simple question so complicated.

    So sue me.

    I've bought most of them and what I've learned is that the "advanced" PPC strategies are all still pretty basic. There's only that much to Google Adwords and those who try and find loopholes and special tricks tends to burn their fingers.

    It's simple. The most important aspect of Adwords success is writing ads and creating good landing pages.

    I've learned more from the video that Google Adwords released than I have from any ebook or course. Have a look on youtube for the official Adwords Videos and use your investment to test new things for yourself. the best way to learn with PPC is to "DO"

    If you are itching to spend money on PPC education then maybe you should get on Andre Champeron's Marketing Bully list and wait until he releases his Black Book. He's the one dude that really knows what he's doing with PPC.

    Otherwise, you should rather invest in PPC software that will make you money. My copy of Affiliate Prophet is worth gold and I use it every day.

      You hit the nail on the head there. Really what brings you to that level is not all kinda IM products but practice. You develop your strategies, your patterns, develop your habits, even gut feeling... that cannot be taught. Though to be able to do that, you want to get all info you can possibly get - free and paid - that's how you become an expert.

      Yeah, I reckon if people actually spent time looking through the enormous amount of information Google provides than jumping from IM product to another of some "gurus", they'd learn more than enough. But guess how many of them haven't even looked at it? Google should charge for access to that material maybe then people would pay attention to it.

    Uhm, well you know I'm not quite sure if the kind of guidance you need you will find in any course. You seem to already have some sort of "strategy" of your own and anything you pick up will make you start from scratch unless you happen to do a very similar thing. In other words it will only distract you.

    The fact that you are making profit is in your advantage so if I were you, I'd continue to work on my own. Analyze the data, optimize the campaign, and scale one step at a time.

        Ok.. I have been looking into naother campaign I guess any course probably won't give me what I really want.. that is the kind of niches to stay away from..

        I done a kids one, but closed it down adter first day over fear that too may kids will clcik on the ad's and they don't have money to spend.

    Courses and ebooks are great, (well some are), but what happens after that? Some people need some place to go to ask those questions that everyone has when they first start. That's where coaching steps in. It compliments all the ebooks and courses because reading about it is one thing, but actually doing it is a whole other beast to tackle.
