Sorry for not posting new stuff lately, but with the Indian Summer we have in Noway these days I just had to head out of town this week-end.
In Norway, you never now how long the sun is around, you just have to grab your chance when it’s there!

Anyway..Last week I joined a free resource called the Black Ink Project (BIP). This is a product by Jeremy Palmer, author of “High Performance Affiliate Marketing”

BIP are totally free, and designed to help newbies with different steps of affiliate marketing.
The member area consists of weekly modules, including videos, Powerpoint presentations and PDF-documents.

If you want to learn the many steps of affiliate marketing, I urge you to check out the Black Ink Project!

Here is that link again!

There has been an interesting thread on the DP forum lately.

The story?

Some dude decided to finally reveal his secret method he uses to earn between $500-$1300 per day on Clickbank. He posted an picture supposed to be his CB stats and some blurry videos on YouTube as proof. It soon turned out that this “proof” was faked. People started posting evidence of Photoshop editing.

And then it started to get really interesting…..Read the discussion here:

The moral to this story??

You can meet scammers everywhere on the Net, trying to rip you off your hard earned money.

Always investigate the product before purchasing it. A simple search on Google containing the product name followed by “scam” or “review” can tell you a lot about the product.
Only 5-10 minutes of research, and your money is a lot safer!

Lesson learned!

As an affiliate marketer, you should have your own domain. Most of the so called gurus proclaims it, and for once they’re right!

With your own domain, you’re avoiding those ugly affiliate links that can scare your potential customers away for good.

Unfortunately, having your own domain includes building websites, and this is scary for many affiliates. Not to mention that it is very time-consuming too.

I used to build my own landing-pages, with an html-editor. But I found it too boring to constantly update my pages, and upload it to my server. The result? Lot of pages which never get updated at all.

So, I started blogging.

People has been blogging for years, but I never saw the advantage of it. I thought it was made for geeks without friends!

In the beginning I used Blogger, but I got sick of it pretty fast. All blogs looked almost the same, the only advantage I saw was the fast indexing by Google.

A couple of months ago, I fell in love with Wordpress. I discovered that there is a whole world out there, with different plugins, themes, widgets and much more.

So I started playing around with Wordpress, and after some research I stumbled across Super Affiliate Blogger.

Let’s get back to my opening question; Yes, I am pretty proud about how my blog looks, and I didn’t design it at all!
Thanks to SAB all I did was to upload the whole package to my server, and added some text!

I have seen similar packages with price tags around $300, but SAB don’t cost anything like that.

Included are plugins that makes your blog SEO-friendly, Google Sitemaps and a whole lot more.
And with an 217 pages manual you have everything you need to create your own popular blog!

If you are into affiliate marketing, or planning to get there, I highly recommend Super Affiliate Blogger!

PS. If you have questions about SAB, just contact me and I will answer your questions as best as I can!

PPS. Did I mention that also included are 10 theme packages in different niches??

The last week or two I have noticed an major drop-down in both sales and traffic. And so far I don’t have a single clue why this is happening.

It is way to early for the holiday/summer season to kick in….Isn’t it?

So, I increased my bids for most of my campaigns, currently I’m promoting 85 products with YSM. After 3-4 days nothing indicates that this is going to increase sales. So I just have to wait a couple of days to see what is happening.

I also did some research on the most popular forums to see if there are anyone else experiencing this. Without ant results so far.

If anyone of you have noticed anything, either with YSM or Adwords, please leave a comment.

And I will keep you readers updated as soon as I get to the bottom of this!

Thank you for reading
