- 1:06 | it now I’m going to describe what I did
- 1:08 | how I changed the campaign over the
- 1:10 | years because of the rules and all of
- 1:13 | the things that change with this
- 1:14 | industry and hopefully you will learn a
- 1:16 | few things on how to keep your campaigns
- 1:17 | alive over the years
- 1:21 | foreign
- 1:24 | back in the day I was an affiliate
- 1:26 | marketer and I started in 2002 like I
- 1:29 | said I was in a major debt I didn’t
- 1:31 | really have a lot of money I was working
- 1:33 | two jobs and it just wasn’t great so I
- 1:37 | searched on ways to make money online
- 1:38 | and I found out about ClickBank and I
- 1:41 | also found out about affiliate marketing
- 1:42 | now for about 10 years I was failing at
- 1:45 | everything I tried until one day I was
- 1:48 | actually watching football and I decided
- 1:52 | to search for you know watching football
- 1:54 | I think I was trying to find out how to
- 1:55 | watch it on my phone or something along
- 1:57 | those lines I can’t remember how I
- 1:59 | discovered this but I saw an ad for
- 2:00 | online sports streaming and then I had
- 2:04 | already been aware of ClickBank and how
- 2:06 | to make money with ClickBank and this
- 2:08 | offer at the time was available on
- 2:10 | ClickBank so I thought hey I should do a
- 2:12 | search ad on how to watch sports on your
- 2:15 | computer and sure enough this campaign
- 2:18 | blew up and I’m going to tell you
- 2:19 | exactly how it worked and then I’m going
- 2:21 | to tell you some of the pitfalls as well
- 2:23 | as how I decide decided to start scaling
- 2:26 | this to bigger and better things to over
- 2:29 | hundreds of thousands of dollars in
- 2:31 | profit and it’s still something I
- 2:33 | continue to work on today in fact I’ve
- 2:35 | covered it in some of our training as
- 2:37 | you can see here here’s inside my Google
- 2:39 | ads account where I’ve spent over six
- 2:41 | million dollars in search ads on Google
- 2:43 | ads since 2015.
- 2:46 | um I’ve changed the way I’ve been doing
- 2:48 | campaigns and I’m also starting to run
- 2:50 | Microsoft ads as well in the last two
- 2:53 | years it’s spent roughly a hundred
- 2:54 | thousand dollars so you can see I am
- 2:56 | experienced in this to give you the
- 2:59 | information that I’m about to share with
- 3:00 | you so this will be covering search ads
- 3:02 | and search engines and it’s going to
- 3:06 | show you a strategy that has worked for
- 3:08 | me and basically if you want more detail
- 3:11 | on step-by-step procedures on how to set
- 3:13 | up landing pages tracking and all that
- 3:15 | stuff I’m not going to cover all that
- 3:16 | detail in this video but I do have a
- 3:18 | link down in the description for the
- 3:20 | PowerHouse affiliate 30-day challenge
- 3:22 | which will go through all of these
- 3:24 | strategies for you we also have a whole
- 3:26 | bunch of training and courses in there
- 3:27 | so let me just describe to you how this
- 3:30 | works so basically here’s the offer we
- 3:32 | ran or Iran at first this was available
- 3:35 | on ClickBank it paid roughly forty
- 3:37 | dollars commission to get people to sign
- 3:38 | up to watch channels on TV so what I
- 3:41 | would do is I would create a search ad
- 3:43 | and if you know what I mean by search ad
- 3:46 | basically you just go to Google and say
- 3:48 | watch
- 3:50 | Sports Online
- 3:54 | and basically you’ll see that some
- 3:56 | people maybe not today because I am in
- 3:59 | Canada but you’ll see some ads sometimes
- 4:02 | show up on here and many times it’ll be
- 4:04 | fubo or ESPN or CV CBS whatever you’ll
- 4:08 | see some ads running and I don’t see any
- 4:09 | today simply because I’m in Canada and
- 4:11 | so what would happen is people would
- 4:13 | click on these ads and then I would send
- 4:15 | them to a landing page similar to
- 4:17 | something like this so if I was
- 4:20 | targeting Sports I wouldn’t just Target
- 4:22 | watch sports online because that would
- 4:24 | just not work very well there would be
- 4:26 | too much competition but if I was to
- 4:28 | Target more specifically to a specific
- 4:30 | event game whatever it is I could in
- 4:34 | fact get cheap clicks and get people to
- 4:37 | come and watch uh or people to come to
- 4:40 | my landing page a lot cheaper and then
- 4:42 | they would come to something like this
- 4:43 | where they can watch Major League
- 4:44 | Baseball so for example I would run my
- 4:46 | ads during the games so at night every
- 4:50 | every night around 6 PM I would turn on
- 4:52 | my ads on Google search search ads or
- 4:55 | Bing and I would let them run until the
- 4:59 | games were over and then I would turn
- 5:00 | off the ads and this worked
- 5:02 | exceptionally well for a very long
- 5:04 | period of time and it really worked well
- 5:06 | on Sunday which was always my favorite
- 5:07 | day of the week because Sunday was
- 5:09 | Sunday football so instead of watch MLB
- 5:13 | it would be watch NFL and there would be
- 5:15 | pictures of football players here and
- 5:17 | every Sunday at two o’clock in Canada
- 5:20 | here I would turn on my ads and run them
- 5:22 | till 9 pm on Sunday Monday Night
- 5:24 | Football same thing I’d be running the
- 5:26 | same offer same type of style but just a
- 5:29 | different sport and this worked really
- 5:32 | well for a long period of time and then
- 5:35 | the worst thing happened ClickBank
- 5:37 | decided to block satellite direct
- 5:40 | because somehow there was some licensing
- 5:43 | issues going on here and apparently this
- 5:46 | was not a legit offer so the whole thing
- 5:49 | went Crash and Burn and this is what
- 5:51 | you’re gonna be faced with in the C PA
- 5:54 | marketing world every now and then you
- 5:57 | are going to get hit with your offers
- 5:59 | being paused or there’s going to be no
- 6:01 | budget left and all of a sudden you know
- 6:04 | you think oh my God it’s over but for me
- 6:06 | I was like well no way I’m not giving up
- 6:08 | that Revenue stream that is such a great
- 6:10 | way to make money so I moved on to
- 6:13 | another strategy which involved
- 6:14 | promoting toolbars for ask.com these
- 6:18 | were very popular back probably seven or
- 6:21 | eight years ago when CPA networks had
- 6:24 | these toolbars like the maps toolbar
- 6:26 | there was the bring me Sports toolbearer
- 6:29 | which is the one that I use here then
- 6:31 | there was another one which I’m going to
- 6:33 | explain here in a second that also made
- 6:34 | a whole bunch of money and don’t worry
- 6:37 | I’m going to lead to where this works
- 6:39 | today but first let me just explain the
- 6:41 | path okay of why everything changed so
- 6:45 | what happened here is there was toolbars
- 6:47 | that ask.com would get installed on your
- 6:50 | browsers and instead of you having your
- 6:53 | D default search engine be Google now it
- 6:56 | would be ask.com so when you had a
- 6:58 | little search bar up here it would
- 7:00 | actually trigger the ask search engine
- 7:03 | and so we would get paid roughly three
- 7:05 | to five dollars
- 7:07 | per install of this toolbar so same
- 7:11 | style of ads watch MLB live but now it
- 7:15 | would be like download Toolbar to watch
- 7:17 | now and so people would download the
- 7:19 | toolbar and basically it would allow
- 7:21 | them to watch only the the stats of the
- 7:25 | games they wouldn’t be able to actually
- 7:26 | see live football streaming which made
- 7:29 | it a little more white hat basically it
- 7:32 | wasn’t stealing any streaming it wasn’t
- 7:34 | doing anything wrong but again over time
- 7:37 | something did occur where installing
- 7:40 | these streaming or whatever types of
- 7:43 | toolbars onto other people’s browsers
- 7:45 | became a problem for Google especially
- 7:48 | Google Chrome and Internet Explorer and
- 7:52 | Firefox all of these browsers didn’t
- 7:54 | like the idea of us getting people to
- 7:58 | install an app on their browser or a
- 8:01 | toolbar that changed their default
- 8:03 | settings and basically over time this
- 8:07 | became extremely difficult for Google or
- 8:09 | for for not only the affiliate but for
- 8:11 | the company itself to make the toolbars
- 8:14 | um install easily onto these browsers
- 8:17 | there would be more checks and balances
- 8:19 | people would have to you know pretty
- 8:21 | much sign their life away to allow these
- 8:23 | tool buyers onto their browsers which
- 8:25 | drastically killed the conversion rates
- 8:27 | and made it extremely hard to profit now
- 8:31 | at the time I was scaling not only all
- 8:34 | the sports but I also found out that
- 8:36 | radio streaming was a big deal radio
- 8:39 | streaming this is one of the landing
- 8:41 | pages I used for the radio streaming
- 8:43 | campaigns where we did the exact same
- 8:45 | similar strategy but this time it would
- 8:47 | be things like stream certain programs
- 8:50 | like that are on Sirius Satellite Radio
- 8:53 | maybe stream Howard Stern or stream
- 8:56 | other people stream Sports stream NASCAR
- 8:59 | all of these things where you could
- 9:01 | listen to it on the radio rather than
- 9:03 | watch it and this worked extremely well
- 9:05 | because there was what was called the
- 9:06 | radio rage toolbar here’s an example of
- 9:09 | what that toolbar actually looks like
- 9:11 | you can see radio rage and then it gave
- 9:14 | them access to a search feature here
- 9:16 | which would be the default search engine
- 9:19 | of ask but it also gave them access to
- 9:21 | music news lyrics music videos and some
- 9:24 | weather and all that stuff there were
- 9:26 | many different toolbars that worked
- 9:28 | extremely well to well over a hundred
- 9:30 | thousand dollars in profit I don’t know
- 9:32 | why I used a hundred thousand dollars
- 9:33 | number at the start of this video in
- 9:35 | fact it was definitely over a hundred
- 9:37 | thousand dollars in profits running
- 9:38 | these style campaigns over the years
- 9:42 | when the whole Crackdown came on
- 9:45 | toolbars where did I go next well it was
- 9:47 | like I cannot give up on this this is
- 9:50 | still such a great traffic source and
- 9:52 | such a great Niche where can we go from
- 9:54 | here the next phase of this campaign is
- 9:58 | now where we are today we are in the
- 10:01 | sports streaming slash radio streaming
- 10:05 | Niche and basically if you come search
- 10:08 | radio streaming affiliate programs
- 10:10 | there’s still a lot of opportunity in
- 10:12 | fact there’s even an affiliate program
- 10:14 | for serious satellite radio where you
- 10:17 | can actually become an affiliate to
- 10:19 | promote them now the way you would do it
- 10:21 | is probably different today you would
- 10:24 | want to Leverage The Power of search ads
- 10:27 | but at the same time try and collect
- 10:30 | your own subscribers first and I’ve done
- 10:32 | videos and content on this training
- 10:34 | people that over time as you can see I’m
- 10:37 | always constantly trying to change with
- 10:39 | the rules change with the platforms that
- 10:42 | if I’m not building my own list and
- 10:44 | building my own brand and business then
- 10:46 | eventually I’m going to be stuck someday
- 10:48 | when streaming all alone is not
- 10:51 | available anymore for Affiliates so
- 10:53 | that’s why it’s important that while it
- 10:55 | may look like there’s some great
- 10:56 | affiliate programs right now be prepared
- 10:58 | that things may change in the future for
- 11:00 | any of these programs that you’re
- 11:02 | running and that is why it’s important
- 11:04 | to build an email list so that is why we
- 11:07 | have that as one of our core courses in
- 11:09 | Powerhouse affiliate is how to transform
- 11:11 | your business not only from traffic to a
- 11:14 | landing page to conversions but traffic
- 11:16 | to a funnel to conversions where you
- 11:19 | collect people’s emails and you build
- 11:21 | your own email list so that you have an
- 11:24 | asset at the end of the day that you can
- 11:25 | start pitching other things to for
- 11:28 | example I might get them to join the the
- 11:30 | streaming program but later on I can
- 11:33 | start pitching them sports betting
- 11:34 | programs through my email list because
- 11:36 | now I know they’re interested in sports
- 11:38 | but through the rules of Google ads and
- 11:41 | Bing ads or Microsoft ads I cannot
- 11:43 | promote betting products to them as an
- 11:46 | affiliate marketer but I can do it
- 11:48 | through my own email list and that is
- 11:50 | the thought process here and all of this
- 11:53 | is
- 11:54 | something that I wanted to get out there
- 11:56 | in public to show you how these
- 12:00 | campaigns evolve over time also if you
- 12:03 | have any questions please comment below
- 12:05 | and I will answer those questions what I
- 12:08 | also want to say is that this video was
- 12:10 | to inspire ideas if you just come in
- 12:12 | here and copy the exact campaign it’s
- 12:14 | probably not going to work for you
- 12:15 | there’s a lot of data behind the scenes
- 12:17 | that I’m not sharing in particular the
- 12:19 | keywords I’m bidding on the actual ads
- 12:22 | the the lifetime of data I have on
- 12:25 | click-through rates for landing pages
- 12:27 | all those things are important so I just
- 12:29 | wanted to inspire ideas and show you
- 12:31 | that it is possible to make this kind of
- 12:33 | money and use these ideas to come up
- 12:36 | with other campaigns that you could
- 12:38 | potentially run for example if you go to
- 12:40 | a place like offervault.com there’s
- 12:42 | thousands of CPA affiliate offers
- 12:44 | there’s affiliate offers for pretty much
- 12:46 | every single Niche out there these
- 12:48 | strategies and in search ads strategies
- 12:50 | will all work for people looking for
- 12:53 | particular service and products that
- 12:55 | they need at the specific time the key
- 12:57 | to this campaign is people are searching
- 12:59 | for something at a particular time of
- 13:02 | day when something is occurring at that
- 13:04 | time and that’s what makes these
- 13:06 | campaigns work for streaming especially
- 13:08 | because I’m targeting specific
- 13:09 | programming at a specific time of day
- 13:12 | that is the key here and that is the
- 13:14 | secret in this campaign if you can do
- 13:16 | that with your audience and you can
- 13:18 | start hitting them at the right point of
- 13:19 | time with exactly what they want then
- 13:21 | you will start to see conversion rates
- 13:23 | and you’ll start to see high
- 13:24 | click-through rates on your landing
- 13:25 | pages all of that described in more
- 13:27 | content coming up so make sure you
- 13:29 | subscribe and we’ll see you next week
- 13:31 | thanks for watching
