Everybody’s had those times where you just can’t get motivated to work when you’re sick or tired. When you have a regular job, it’s almost easier to keep working because you have a boss to answer to. Being your own boss means that you have to answer to yourself. This is a constant battle for [...]

2011 is almost over and it was quite a year both personally and professionally. As I was looking back over everything writing this post, I was surprised by just how much we had grown. As most of you know, we changed our name from PPV Playbook to Aff Playbook. This change reflects the fact that [...]

No not THAT back,  I’m talking about the spine…your back. That thing that keeps your body upright. This isn’t going to be the usual ‘improve your CTR’ or ‘case study’ post, and I know it might not appeal to a lot of people. This will however help you make more money in the long run. [...]

You hear the [...]

A couple posts back I wrote about scaling ppv campaigns. One of the ideas was to split test offer across different CPA networks. I wanted to expand on that idea and show an example from one of my campaigns where this made a huge difference. Affiliates often get blindly loyal to one affiliate network, which [...]

Sure they can get the traffic sources, niches, and tracking down but many affiliates forget that it helps to have a connection to your piers that goes beyond a business relationship. Let me start [...]

The meetup turned out great! A big thanks to Ads4dough and Dream Marriage for sponsoring! The party got off to an interesting start when one of the first guest to show up was an elderly woman who made a beeline to the bar. I have no idea who she was and she didn’t have any [...]

At the workshop I did at ASW my friend Adam made a really great statement; he said that the majority of ‘problems’ with not making progress/money in IM have a very simple solution – build more campaigns. This reminds me of a really well known blackhat seo guy I used to be friends with and [...]
