Newbie to the business!!!!
Hi Tony,
Am just starting out in the business, I been research for the past few months of what is out there. There is a lot of negativity going on online nowadays. I joined CJ, and clickbank so far. What is your take on clickbank?. My main goal is to be making at least 2500$ in profits within 6-8 months. Some might say that isn’t reasonable, but that is my goal. What is your opinion on the book called ultimate guide to google adwords by Perry Marshall? Your book gave me a better view of how the online industry works. It was well written and a great read. Any help full suggestion please and thank you.
Thanks in advance

Rookie Boy,
I don’t know anything at all about clickbank. There are a lot of networks out there, and probably most - though not all - of them are reliable and present opportunities to make soem money, but I can only vouch for those I’ve tried.
As for Perry Marshall’s book, Ultimate Guide toGoogle AdWords
, I believe I was asked this question once or twice before, and had to confess to not having read it. I have since read the book, and I think - although the Google algorithm is a secret, and often changes - that it gives a very good idea to the reader of how the algorithm works.
That said, I’m still glad I didn’t read it before I started, as my lack of knowledge of what was happening behind the scenes forced me to focus only on the results achieved by each change to text, keywords and bids. In some ways, I think not knowing the details about the algorithm might of contributed enourmously to my success by not distracting me in any way from focusing on the results of my performance tuning.
Or, maybe I’d have been even more successful and sooner, who knows?
As for your profit goals, they are achievable, but aggressive and arbitrary. Just go through the process focusing on one campaign after another, trying to improve each campaign, and abandoning those where your efforts to improve the campaign’s performance aren’t bringing the campaign closer to success. Success won’t happen on your time table, and a ticking clock is just another distraction that won’t help your disciplined approach.
