Pay Per Click Advertising - No Gain Without Pain

No Gain Without Pain - True of False?

Over and over again this needs to be hammered home i.e. ‘There is no gain without pain’. Gain is relative and so is pain. It is not true that for great gain you need to endure great pain i.e. mathematically they are not directly proportional. In order to gain you must spend something. In most cases it is either time or money. It could be other things e.g. kindness. You might have helped someone in the past for no monetary gain. One day, when you are in need they may offer to help you without you necessarily asking for help - just out of their gratitude to you for what you did for them.

The next sentence is not entirely true. “There is nothing for nothing”. The statement is 90% true and is almost 100% true when it comes to making money. The situation is more bleak online for many. In many cases the ‘there is pain without gain’ and there is loss - people spend without getting good value. They get conned.

There are so many offers of ‘wonderful’ products that will make one rich within a short time. There are so many “experts” out there who seem to have stumbled on ways of making millions who claim to be ready to help you - if only you can part with some cash.

I have been a victim of such ploys in the past. After buying the product, you discover nothing new. They either describe what you already knew or what you could “google” and get for free. What is enticing is that some of the offers come with guarantees - that if you are not happy with the product, you can claim for a refund within x days “with no questions” asked. Those who have claimed for refunds have a tale to tell.

Just “google” “scams…” and you will see the complaints from those who never got refunds. There is usually a hidden clause which absolves the seller from any liability. They usually get away with their scam. “The BIG print giveth but the little print TAKETH away.” Some offers come with false testimonials. They also come with many “bonuses”. In many cases, the bonuses are of products which were being sold three or four years ago and which have little value today.

So what is safe? Sometimes you can not even trust a friend. They may recommend a product to you, only to find out later as you buy it (or afterward) that they are an affiliate - they did it for the MONEY! One safe area that I have found is software tools. If the offer allows you to try the program for a number of days and only buy if you like it - it is normally a good deal. The program would expire unless you enter the purchased license. Another good offer is where you are given a free program with limited functionality and you are given an option to upgrade at a fee for more features..

If you are into pay per click advertising, you may get really excited about the product I am about to tell you a bit about. I’ll leave the details to the owner to tell you. I just call it the pay per click program. I don’t like the name the owner has given it. In brief, the pay per click program gets you where you want to go, fast. You select the niche you are interested in. You search in Google to find out who are the top guys in Adwords. The pay per click program analyzes for you what keywords they are using, how much they are paying for each keyword, how much traffic they are getting.

With that ammunition, you can set up your campaigns and beat the competition without spending months split-testing keywords, etc. etc.

Isn’t that good? Not quite. The better news is that the owner is giving a “free” version of the pay per click program. The only “downside “is that you have to register to get the free version and that means being on his mailing list. He’ll promote to you the paid version and some of his other well known products which you probably know about or are already using. That is the “price” - a few promotional emails to one of your email addresses.

The paid version of the pay per click program has more features. We’ve seen how the owner gains, how you benefit and you may wonder after preaching to you about nothing for free - what is in it for yours truly? Well, I will gain in a little way. The owner will explain to you on his site how I benefit and how you too can benefit if you want to in that other way.

The only thing the pay per click program will not do for you is convert for you i.e. make your visitors buy what you are selling or do whatever you want them to do at your site. You need to enroll on a course for that…

You can get the free or paid versions of the pay per click program here.

Note: The free version of the pay per click program may be withdrawn at any time - so says the owner. It must have cost quite a bit to develop this program and I truly don’t understand fully why the owner offers the free version.
