UPDATE: I am no longer a member of PPC-Coach.com, as I was banned for making Affiliit.com … apparently the owner (Will aka ppc-coach) does not like competition, although that’s not what this site was built for.

1. PPC-Coach is very limited…strictly PPC, and a lot of outdated methods and material.
2. Affiliit.com teaches INTERNET MARKETING, using SEO, PPC, PPV (later in the course), Article Marketing, List Building, etc., etc… there’s NO competition here. None at all.

So, you won’t see me on that site ever again. You can read this post here for more details, if you’d like.

end update

Alright, I’ve decided to do a simple tutorial on how I create polls using a simple system I’ve developed that keeps me from losing focus, and allows me to create polls within 30 minutes, regardless of size.

If you’re a member of PPC Coach, you’ll understand this post… if not: you may not have a clue.

WARNING: This system I’ve come up with uses several paid tools. They will be listed, but I wanted to give you a warning. I will try my best to come up with alternatives (free), but I can’t promise the same results.

Anyone that has done polls already knows that there’s a few tools available for quick research. BuzzDash.com is a great resource, but Yahoo! Buzz is another, as well as Google Hot Trends.

So, what I like to do first is come up with an idea. I use BuzzDash.com and Yahoo! Buzz to start my research with. What am I looking for? I want to see what’s hot, what looks like something people are interested in…

But my MAIN goal is to find something that I know will either make someone extremely angry, or extremely happy…or somewhere in between. Either way, I want the person to CLICK THE AD, go to the Poll and SUBMIT THEIR VOTE — and when they’re done, I want them to PUT IN THEIR INFORMATION. Right? Of course.

So what we’re looking for is something that everyone knows about… for instance: Chris Brown and Rihanna.

— EDIT —

Here’s a pollfactory discount link to get $25.00 OFF the normal price!!!

———————

I purchased PollFactory last Septemeber when I joined PPC Coach, but I have not had the chance to use it as I completely skipped doing Polls at first. I wasn’t into doing Email Submits, and I wasn’t comfortable with building polls.

When I purchased the script, I thought I’d buy it just in case, as the price was cheaper than it is now, and I knew the price would go up.

Over the past Month, I’ve been training a few newbies in Affiliate Marketing through Webex and I decided to give PollFactory a shot when a few newbies wanted to ask questions about building polls on WordPress.

Being the “system” type, I couldn’t even stand THINKING about taking more than 10 minutes building a poll. That’s just INSANE in my mind. It’s not like it’s a “REAL” site, as you’re really testing a bunch of Polls, it’s a little frustrating to think you may spend up to an hour building a poll or 10, only to find that it absolutely WILL NOT convert.

So, I tend to show people how to use PollFactory instead. I realize there’s a few other scripts available, but none of them are as professional as PollFactory is, in my opinion.

I’ve been pretty busy over the past month with my own stuff, but I’ve also been helping out an old friend, as well as some new ones. With the way the economy is, it seems that everyone is scrambling for something new, afraid of what may come tomorrow…

I can’t blame them. Personally, I don’t trust any corporation these days, and only a few are succeeding during the hardest of times. Even the almighty Google seems to be suffering.

Who cares, right?
