PPC Classroom 2.0 From Anik Singal: How To Pick The Best Offer For PPC Affiliate Marketing

What is pay per click advertising? The answer could provide you with some of the best advice you've ever received, so listen carefully – I'm going to tell you something very important in this article. We'll get to PPC (or pay per click) later, but you've probably heard a lot by now about this affiliate marketing thing and I'd like to clear up a few misperceptions which are common to those new to the business or those thinking about getting involved in PPC affiliate marketing.

There are so many people out there who find the idea of affiliate marketing extremely appealing. After all, this is a business which one can start with little to no overhead and one which offers people the freedom of working at home on their own schedule. Naturally, what kind of marketing lets you advertise something without worrying about stock, taking care of customers or fulfillment? If you're somebody looking to ditch their 9-to-5 day job and to spend more time with your family, pay per click affiliate advertising can be an awesome solution. However, many go into this business with some misperceptions about the income potential; while it is indeed limitless, it won't happen on its own – as well as the level of effort and commitment required.

Yes, it's true that you really can make money while you sleep with affiliate marketing, but you're going to need some way to make people aware of your website in the first place; you can't market anything, even with the best website and the best product in the world of nobody knows that you have a product or service to offer! You will need to do some kind of advertising – and given that so much of the activity of affiliate marketing takes place on the world wide web, that's the best place to begin your advertising efforts. And that advertising should be in the form of PPC affiliate marketing.

Pay per click affiliate marketing offers the most cost effective advertising model possible – you only pay for your advertisements when someone actually clicks them. One needs to design their ads on key words, the terms people search for in things like Google. Your ads will appear alongside the results and are priced according to the popularity of the keywords. You can research keywords to find out which are cheaper to use and thus more cost effective for your PPC affiliate marketing venture.

A good strategy for pay per click affiliate marketing is to research keywords first and find ones which are commonly used but have little competition for them (Google has tools for this research) and then to find an affiliate program to on where these keywords can be used. You can then start a PPC affiliate marketing ad campaign based on these keywords which should bring you enough traffic to more than pay for the cost of these ads. The clever use of keywords in a PPC affiliate marketing business can make all the difference between an affiliate marketing success story and someone who just doesn't manage to make a splash in this business.
