Introduction to the No Joke Guide

Update: Sep 9th, 2010

I know, I know, there are a ton of guides out there, most of them wanting money and most of them promising financial independence and near-instant wealth. You too can earn $3,768.18 a day!

Well maybe you can, but if that’s the type of program you’re looking for, read no further, because that’s not the type of program I’m going to talk about.

I’m talking about a real, working-as-I-type-this system that has, for the last year, earned me between $1,000 – $2,000 a month. At my peak in December 2005, I had over $10,000 in revenue and over $9,000 in profit.

But that’s another story, for another time, and in another time, before the search engines had their huge affiliate crackdown in early 2006 and I went from $300 a day to $30. Ouch! Good thing I hadn’t quit my day job….

That’s probably worth making a rule: Don’t quit your day job.

The type of pay-per-lead and pay-per-sale marketing I’m talking about can be a finicky beast, with companies and offers and products coming in and out of the marketplace and marketing terms being changed all the time. Nothing hurts quite so bad as having a well performing offer pulled out from under you or the terms changed to prohibit your most profitable marketing channel, but it happens all the time, for any reason (or for no reason at all).

Example: In 2007 I was doing $5,000 a month of a very popular diet program, only to have the company change their affiliate terms to prohibit pay-per-click marketing, because–Iwas told–they felt I was stealing sales they would have been getting! Bye-bye $5k….

This isn’t to say if you ever do reach $3,768.18 that you couldn’t quit. If you did, and it was coming in spread across a large number of offers and sites, and you had been saving $3,468.18 a day (or more) for the last 6 months, you still need to work. In that case, you probably don’t.

If you’re still reading, I assume you aren’t making anything, or at least not as much as you want, and you want to know the secret. The secret, of course, is that there is no secret.

What I’m going to do is detail the methods and tools I’ve used that have resulted in me getting checks in the mail. I make no guarantee that this system will work for you, however, it works for me and is based on repeatable actions.

In other words, anyone can do it. Read on to find out how it can work for you.

As I write each part, I’ll put a link to it below.

In the interest of full disclosure, some of the links to the tools and networks I use will be affiliate links. That means if you click through, there’s a chance I might make a little dough–a commission if you buy something, or some downstream ching if you join one of the networks I recommend and actually make some money. Just letting you  you know up front…..

Good luck!
