I need mentorship from a successful PPC affiliate!

6 replies
I need mentorship from someone who's already hit it big with PPC (adwords, ysm, adcenter, facebook ads).

I'm totally tired of digging around the ground trying to break that ceiling. Been doing PPC for what seems like forever but still can't seem to get anywhere.

I've joined everything from PPC Classroom, PPC Coach, GCD Detective and Perry Marshall's program. Its as if I know ppc inside out yet can't seem to bring it all together.

Sometimes I feel as if I'm almost there. I just need that one tip that will finally get me over that hill and for that I need a mentor who's been there and done it.

    Hi FiveMe. I've been studying a lot of the big guys who've made it big with PPC and I notice a pattern: I can have the same ROI as them, do the same split testing and have good converting ad copy but in the end they'll make more because they're bidding on more keywords, getting more traffic and throw more money at their campaigns.

    It seems like to truley win you have to have massive cashflow to fund yourcampaigns.

    If this is the case then how would any PPC marketer starting out get anywhere with their campaigns? Take out a huge loan?

      the answer is that you do not need massive amounts of cash, that is an illusion, what happens with less cash is the process runs slower, so imagine watching a movie in slow motion.

      imagine two people, you both get to watch the movie in full and you both have the same outcome except one takes longer to view the picture, then by applying a process of adding some profits as you go to your penny in the slot movie player you speed up the slow motion picture.

      if then over time you get to watch the picture in real time and lastly you put that picture on full forward.

    tryinhere, yea I totally agree with what your saying and technically it's similar to what I said in the last post about me and the other guy having the same ROI only he gets more sales at the end of the day because he has more cashflow and is bidding on more keywords.

    I'm sure if I save every penny and keep reinvesting it into my campaigns then I'll eventually get there. The process will just be slow to start I suppose.

    You need to do one thing:

    Stop reading about taking action, stop buying courses, stop joining sites, stop posting on forums and take MASSIVE action by yourself.

    If you've been through my site and the others you've listed then you don't need anymore help, you don't need a mentor now, you need to buckle down and do the work. No tip is going to push you over the top, only hard work and lots of it is going to.

    Everyone thinks there's some secret tip that only the big guys know. There isn't, stop searching for it. Get to work and you will succeed. I've trained over 5,000 affiliates in my time and the ones who make the big bucks have one thing in common, they work harder then the ones who don't.

    The ones who fail have the following common traits:

    1.) They love to blame everyone except themselves for their failure.
    2.) They make one campaign, it fails, they quit and move onto the next course or site.
    3.) They never put enough time and effort into any method they try.
    4.) They're quick to quit with any flimsy excuse.
    5.) Their budget TOTAL is $5.
    6.) They're on a never ending search for that one big tip to push them over the top.
    7.) They refuse to accept that making money online is not as easy as all those WSOs with ridiculous income statements and timeframes make it look like.
    8.) They believe all those emails from the "gurus" making even worse ridiculous income claims and timeframes.
    9.) They always want 1on1 coaching but refuse to pay for it.
    10.) They think 1on1 coaching is the key because they think their situation and questions are unique, (they rarely are).

    So, yeah post any questions you have about your campaigns and you'll get help, but you're not even at that stage because you don't have campaigns running to ask questions about!

      PPC Coach, thanks for the reply. I can recall reading about your story a while back and it seems like you got to where you were much faster because you also found that mentor who helped you out, but correct me if I've mistaken.

      I do have to admit I have joined many programs but they were all related to PPC and it was a span over over several months between each. Some of the programs didn't offer anything new but they've always offered one nugget of information that has helped me move forward.

      I do actually have campaigns running but the biggest problem for me seems to be cashflow. I did have a campaign that was breaking even on Google adwords (spent $2k, got $1950 back) and was slowly optimizing it to get it profitable but then not surprisingly the next day, like hundreds of other marketers, the account got suspended.

      I quickly transferred everything over to adCenter but the conversions haven't been the same since so right now I'm back to square one running a bunch of campaigns trying to find one thats breaking even. I'm pretty sure I'll get there but I don't blame anyone if I haven't.
