I did it. I finally joined PPC-Coach.com
I will write a review, or maybe a series of reviews on what I find out about it… so far - I like it a lot, and I’ve barely scratched the surface of everything.
Everything is neatly organized, from what I am seeing “thus far” (I love that word: “thus”).
I’ve seen a few familiar faces so far too, which is cool.
Hopefully it helps me learn some new stuff, which is the main reason I joined up - of course.
Check back for my review(s) in the coming days.

I take it that this compliments WA, without much (if any) crossover?
NB - I am a qualified Google Advertising Professional already - would I learn much I don’t know already?
Thanks!

Jordan, that’s actually a pretty good question. It’s definitely something that I’ll probably be asked again!
I think it’s a matter of “if you’re serious about Affiliate Marketing”. If so, yes, definitely. The reason is — all of these members are Affiliate Marketers and they take you step-by-step through certain products and networks on their Monthly Merchant Guide projects they’re doing.
Right now I’m mostly going through the forum itself and reading around. They seem to have some very big earners in there and a few names I know from other forums that seem to be learning a lot from this program.
I don’t believe there will be too much crossover. At WA you will learn a ton of General Affiliate Marketing stuff, while PPC-Coach really shows you the much more advanced stuff.
So, with that being said… I think it’s a wise choice to start with Wealthy Affiliate University - and THEN go on to PPC-Coach when you think you’re ready.
Having the Google cert will definitely help you out in this game as you’ll know more than most — but the program actually digs a bit deeper on the Affiliate PPC level, which is very helpful.
So — WA is for Basic to Advanced General Affiliate Marketing, and PPC Coach is for more of an Advanced/CPA (they deal with mostly CPA offers [ie, Copeac, NeverBlueAds, CPA Empire, etc]) type program.
I think it’s always better to get a few sales under your belt with Pay-Per-Sale programs before you jump into CPA/Leads.
…but that’s just me! =)

Hey Chris,
Well, I’m always earning a profit it seems… other than a few exceptions
But, here’s the thing… I’ve only spent enough time on PPC-Coach to go through about 1/10th of the material that I want to… BUT, with that being said, I’ve definitely learned some new stuff and it will DEFINITELY be worth the price I paid.
So many Affiliates earn a few bucks and either stick with the same thing or jump ship because they didn’t earn enough…
For me - I’ve actually built a real business out of it and have done what I tell everyone: DIVERSIFY. DO EVERYTHING possible in this game and find out what you’re good at!
I don’t care if you’re making a killing with PPC+PPS, CPA, etc… you should be trying Article Marketing, Forum Marketing, even a few gray hat things JUST TO SAY YOU DID!
Which is why I would definitely suggest PPC-Coach. Seems to be a whole new game behind the scenes of their material over there. Sure, some of it may be taught elsewhere and some is probably FREE INFO found on ANY blog… but, while there’s a million teachers in this world - we always find a few that can actually connect with us… I think Will knows how to connect with what he teaches.
Definitely check it out because it’s DEFINITELY worth the price! There’s a ton of tools that I’m still wanting to try (1 had an error while installing on all of my servers), but haven’t had enough time to.
I’ll post up my review next week FOR SURE. I apologize for the delays!

I am with PPC Coach and I am seriously considering either canceling my membership or putting it on hold for a month or so. There are far too many people struggling with ppc-coach. The tracking system is a major pain to get it to run properly. Not too many people are making anything near good money with the first month technique. I would have to say that while the program does have some really amazing tools and there is a ton to learn from it I feel that its not 100% as advertised (what is these days anyway). You dont really have a mentor. You could wait days to get your questions answered. Some of the techniques especially month 1 and old month 2 are over a year old and people arent really making money with them anymore. Spend one day there and see the frustration many people are having after signing up and trying to get the tools to work and getting their questions answered. The information is scattered all over the place and you literally have to spend days on end reading through the forums to figure out how to do anything. You periodically see posts in the forum from members asking if anyone is really making any money from the various techniques. I could go on and on. As you can see I am a bit frustrated. This is just my opinion though.

Hey Eric,
Have you talked to The Coach (Will) about it?
I actually DO agree that the training needs to be formatted in a MUCH cleaner, organized manner. It’s a little tough to sort through all of the learning material, which was why I actually signed up, took a break and came back… I was exhausted trying to get through the Forum information…so, yes, that part DOES get a little annoying.
But the Coach does put a lot of effort into the site and I did read something about him updating month 2. Month 1 is NOT dead though…TRUST ME. You just need to be a little creative in getting things working in your favor.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Affiliates out there making big bucks with Month 1 techniques.
Thanks for stopping by and definitely let Will know your thoughts! Feedback is the best way to get things how you want them.
