Guilty, As Charged

February 7th, 2007 by Micah Schaeffer

As you know, I’m fairly scathing about all the over-hyped IM eBooks out there. Most of them are very basic newbie guides telling you how to set up an Adwords account and send the traffic to Clickbank. In practice, this is a good way to get-poor quick rather than get-rich quick.

One of the products that was getting seriously over-hyped pre-launch was DayJobKiller.

It was with some guilt therefore that I purchased a copy last night.

It’s really Affiliate Project X Part II in that it expands on some of the techniques used and introduces some new techniques. There’s really nothing earth-shattering in there although I did have some aha moments when I realized I could boost the income on some of the PPC campaigns I have running.

Does it work and is it worth the $77?

It’s expensive at $1.12 a page for the 69 pages, although it’s all content and no fluff.  It will be more expensive if he raises the priced as promised.

I guess the value of any make-money ebook can be judged as to whether it makes you any extra cash. I implemented one of the techniques in an existing Adwords campaign and also created a new campaign based on a different technique in the guide. It took me about 2 hours to read the book and set everything up. In the 14 hours the campaigns have been running, I’ve made an extra $18, just under a quarter of the cost of the book. On that basis I guess I have to say it was a success. There’s no reason why these two changes won’t continue to make me money for weeks and months to come. There’s another technique in the book that I will try over the next few days that I’m pretty excited about as well.

It’s not a book for PPC newbies, but if you can create an Adwords campaign and open an affiliate account on your own without bursting into tears, you should find something of value.

If you want to try it yourself, here’s my shameless affiliate link.

Let me know what you think.
