I really like Aymen’s philosophy! This is an interview that is worth downloading and listening to a few times to catch all the gems

Leanne

Thanks Leanne,

while you are downloading MP3’s you should check out this MP3 interview. She is also very switched on:

Hi James,
Thanks for the MP3 interview with Aymen. Very interesting. Question though: I couldn’t miss that at one point early on he said the strategy was cash neutral — set up so you couldn’t lose money, yet later on he said he lost money on some ventures. And it wasn’t in the developmental phase but later on. At least, that is what I got from the tape.
You’re an experienced PPC guy, can you actually run his program, following his blueprint and not have the risk of losing money?

Hi Anthony,

Great question.

I think in general Aymen is making the point that he invested millions to get to the point where he could understand what makes campaigns work.

He then mentions that he can start new campaigns and be close to neutral.

His blueprint concentrates on optimizing these campaigns to get leveraged yields.

I will say that most PPC’ers will lose some money whilst testing a new market / product. The profit comes from refining and tweaking.

Business in general has risks. For example I have had campaigns where I made a great profit but then the company had financial issues and could not pay commissions owed.

So there are risks and you should operate it like a business and be prepared for all possible outcomes.

With risks come rewards. You get this right and you can make great profits fast.

Regards

James

Is Aymen going share “all” his trade secrets in the course? Or just the ones that enable someone to business with his CPA Network.

He will be revealing it all soon. I’l let him answer that.

Regards

James

James,

I know I’ve read that this is not for newbies. I’m not a total greenhorn. I’ve learned some things, just haven’t taken much action. What knowledge is needed at the beginning of this course? Since I purchased through you (as I did Xsitepro a year ago) and already received your bonuses (thanks!), what would help me get started on the right foot? I have to say, I’ve followed the thread on the Warrior Forum, and you’re holding your own against those guys. Thanks for all you’ve done, man…

Hi Jeff,

The course starts on Monday and Aymen will be providing modules and webinars each week.

The best thing you can do is prepare yourself to be able to concentrate on the material and ‘consume’ it by taking action on each step.

I am also doing the course so I can help you if you have questions along the way.

A lot of people get challenged by success and feel resistance to anything that pushes their comfort levels.

Thank you regarding your support. I am only putting forward my thoughts that this course will help people who want to learn about this business model. Some people get hung up on minute details.

We tend to place our own barriers and blockages that prevent us from taking actions that will improve our position because we were conditioned to society norms.

So in summary, if you clear your desk and remove distractions – get ready for a learning experience and take action. Prepare for a challenge and change in results.

Warm Regards

James

Thanks, James. That was my plan, to totally focus on this and nothing else. In the past, instead of focusing on one thing, I go in all directions. Looking forward to going thru this with you as a fellow student….

Yes Jeff,

I’ll be supporting anyone who buys through me so they get the best results possible.

We can achieve a lot when we focus on one thing.

Regards

James

Hey James,

I ve read your views on warrior forum as well. As you said Aymen has taught you and he is going to teach each and every step, If you could please guess as to how much a person like me, who doesn’t have even basic knowledge of PPC and CPA, can make in the begining. And after how much time can I start earning if I follow exactl what Aymen is going to teach.

I am not a marketing guru, I am just a newbie. For me spending $ 2500 is also not an easy investment. I know other aspects of internet marketing but not CPA.

I beleive to get fair and honest answer from you.

Hi Dharmender,

I have seen the blueprint and it is a great process we are about to learn in detail.

Many of the critics are already successful at CPA and are probably upset that these techniques are going to be taught to new people.

Lets do the math – 1000 x $2000 = $2,000,000.00

Gee, I wonder why they are upset about this course?

The information will be good and it will come down to your learning speed and application of the material.

CPA is a simple concept that is highly competitive to action. There will be ups and downs for people trying this.

You have to be sharp with the testing and analysis of campaigns.

If you have some ‘instinct’ and a very strong desire to master this then why not learn from someone already doing it.

Look back on your past and if you see patterns where you have taken on a challenge and beaten it – then this is the main experience you need.

This program will not be for quitters, whiners or lazy people.

If you are highly self motivated and you want to reach new levels – Go for it.

People who buy from em will get a traffic education that will allow them to generate traffic at WILL anytime they want to make money online.

The proof is in this very blog and my other websites. Even Aymen has commented on the asset that SEO and traffic can bring to lucrative ACP offers. It gives you an edge on just paid search.

I hope I will be seeing you on the course,

Warm regards

James

[...] You can also listen to James Schramko's interview with Aymen here. [...]

I’ve read elsewhere that to really implement Aymen’s techniques, some other software and memberships should be purchased. Besides the money for the campaigns, approximately how much will be required in these other elements?

Thanks.

Hi Nancy,

I would expect a monthly membership to a keyword spy site and some software would get you through. Some range aroud the $75 p/m range.

Software like Speed PPC runs at the few hundred dollars mark for a one time purchase.

There could be some recommendations for PHP tracking tools and some of them are one-time only aquisitions.

Some of these are optional not mandatory. Aymen will show you exactly what you can use and you choose.

If you had around $500 to $700 that would be a bonus. Aymen mentioned that you should be in profit after the first month.

Regards

James

Hi James,

Thanks very much for your kind reply.Your message was really inspiring. I am just waiting for the material. I paid my first instalment and reading some stuff on PPC and CPA in the meantime. Do you feel we need to do some homework before starting. If yes, please suggest. Is it possible to pay second instalment with the returns from the program?

Thanks.

Thanks Dharmender,

The best thing you can do right now is clear your desk and your mind and get ready to push your self to the next level.

I would lock in your goals and ensure you have a big ‘reason why’ to carry you through the course.

Aymen says you will be seeing profits by the end of the first month if you apply yourself.

Regards

James

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply. Here is a keyword software http://www.marketsamurai.com/. Could you please have a look and advise if its worth buying. How are the features of the software claimed by this guy? Is he missing on some part which other softwares provide? What is the criteria to identify a good SEO or keyword software? Is it just the cost?

Hi Dharmender,

Yes I use MS every day – it is awesome for keyword research. (I have listed it on my site at http://www.SuperFastKeywords.com).

The great thing is it compares SEO competition and OCI (commercial intent).

It can also help you find content and see the PPC costs and value for different words in exact match mode.

Regards

James

Hi, James, I am also redirected from warrior forum. Planning to sign it up under ur link. Gonna allocate a bank of $1k plus that $2k for purchase of AC. Is that enough?

Hey James
How come Aymen’s face is blurred out?

He does not need to be famous. He is a very private person.

Hi James,
could you please tell as more about TIME SCALE?
-I mean how many hour is one webinar?
1-how many hours do I have to spend everyday during the 12 week course time?
2-after finishing the course ,how many hours do I have to work (aprox) to make this system running well?
3-is this could be a part time job beside my full time job? (at least untill I diside to leave my job)?
4-after the system is stable .. if I go for one week holiday whithout follow up my system is this will affect anything?or it is like an autopilot system?

Hi Darweesh,

I don’t know how long the webinars will be but I am guessing they will be an hour long?

You should spend between one – two hours per day on Arbitrage Conspiracy to get the most out of it.

After the course it is up to you. You may spend all day or just a short time. This is a flexible thing. How much money do you want to make by when?

Yes – this could be a full time job. Many people do CPA marketing fulltime. I am a fulltime Internet Marketer for example.

Yes you can have campaigns that continue with minimal grooming.

Regards

James

what a super fast reply I am now sure that I’ll order the course throgh your ref link THANKSSSSS

more questions before I final order the course.

-when is the last chance to join?
-I am excellent computer and internet user but I never done IM before (I am an Architect) but I am very very committed and excited to learn this as I wanted to start this bussines beside my architecture bussines for the next year Until deciding witch side to go.
So Is this course for me as a begginer? and also is one hour working aday as part time can run this system until the next year to make it full time job?

Hi Darweesh,

Thanks

I am not certain of the closing date but I expect it will be within days now.

If you have a history of performing new tasks and you can follow instructions then the help from me and Andre in our private forum (with other bonus attendees) plus the training you get from Aymen and Emanuel you should be able to learn a lot fast.

As long as you commit to an hour a day every day!

Without any IM experience you will find it pushes your limits a little because it is all new. You may not see returns as fast as an experienced internet marketer – (just being open about it).

The upside is that you have no other things distracting you. You must have passion to carry you through the challenges. It will be challenging and you may burn through some testing budgets as you learn.

I believe this is the best course for this topic. I have been listening to the session overviews and they are filled with excellent information that will hold you by the hand.

If you think you are up to it – join us.

Regards

James

Hi James

Quite often we read on the forums about the CPA networks closing out people from overseas using the American networks if you do not have a local telephone number. Would we be required to chat with CPA managers etc or is all this covered in the the course.
How will that affect those of us in AUST. etc.
Would appreciate a swift answer to this as I would really like to do this course …..and would love your bonuses.

Pamela

Hi Pamela,

The creators od Arbitrage Conspiracy live outside the U.S (Canada) so this cannot be true.

I am in Australia and have no trouble getting accepted by networks. I put my cell number with international code and then phone the CPA network after applying.

I do recommend you have a simple professional looking website and a professional sounding domain name like XXXXXmedia.com

Some people who got rejected are probably applying with no website or doing it incorrectly.

The FIRST pre-training video in the Arbitrage Conspiracy members area is dedicated to exactly this topic. I recommend you join and watch this training ASAP.

My students have been getting accepted so far.

Regards

James

i am based in scotland. i have no experience in any form of IM. AC has got everybody excited including me.
but i’m scared s**tless to spend $2000 and get scammed. the thing that worries me is the way all the gurus have have jumped on board here. it looks like a mass guru opportunity fest.
i really thought that you were very deferential towards aymen in your interview. i feel you could have seriously grilled him and been more convincing. no dis meant james. but is this the real McCoy?

Hi Fraser,

AC is not a scam. I have met Aymen and speak to him regularly. He has already taught me things that establish him as someone who knows about this topic better than anyone.

Well known marketer (and PPC PPV legend) Gauher Chaudhry a high level CPA marketer mentioned he trained Aymen. Aymen and Emanual are signed up to some CPA Networks under Gauher so he receives fat referral checks as a result of the massive amount of revenue these guys create.

I am sure all the regular ‘gurus’ are excited because they are pro internet marketers and they make money selling other people marketing solutions.

This is a high converting offer (because it is the best CPA course ever made available) so they are very keen to promote. This is what they do. Just like you will be promoting CPA offers to clients when you are a CPA marketer….

(Aside from that you probably have recourse with your credit card supplier)

I was talking to Aymen about his course and I was asking from the point of view of my readers. It was a chance moment I asked if I can hit record and he said sure because he is very generous. I respect his ability. It was a genuine chat and if you listen to any of my other recordings for any of my work you will know this is 100% me. I am always the same.

I don’t get a high from grilling people. I just want the truth like you and why would I grill him after he taught me how to make thousands per day? I already know he is the real deal. I respect him. I was pleased my readers got a chance to hear his mindset because this is a key to his success.

Many people have commented they got a lot of good ideas from the interview.

first off james, thanks for the reply. it’s good to get a response. this doesn’t always happen. i’m being a bit selfish here and asking a couple of questions for my own benefit.
for a newbie, with a bit of real effort can i make money with this course, enough to ditch my day job?
will there be material to support the course down-loadable or otherwise eg dvds ebooks etc?
(i heard u answer this before) but being in the uk, does this put me at any disadvantage?
is it worth $2000? its a s**tload of money!
finally what qualities would you feel i need to make this worthwhile.
when is aymen closing the doors?
if you could answer these questions it would be a huge help.
f

Hi Fraser,

If you apply effort and use this information you should learn a great deal. The information is delivered by people who have been from the start to the finish. This is why the information is sought after and selling very well.

There will be people who ditch day jobs after applying this course. I ditched my day job after learning internet marketing. I cannot say if you can or not because I guess I don’t know enough about you and your strengths.

The course is mostly training modules and telecalls. If you go through me there is also a forum with threads that discuss each weekly task. I want everyone who comes on board to succeed and have a breakthrough.

There are enough people masterminding this together to help each other.

I doubt there will be any physical goods such as DVD’s however the training videos will be re-watchable.

They will be giving you PDF’s such as the blueprint etc… I have it.

Being in the UK will not be a dis-advantage. I am in Australia and the course facilitators are in Canada.

Many students will be around the world. My other forum partner is located in Switzerland and he is a full time under the radar super affiliate too.

The whole appeal of a web business is the fact that you can do it from anywhere with a connection to the web.

For most people the $2000 investment is a very affordable way to sit over the shoulder of a super successful business person who will share his techniques for 12 weeks.

It is like buying several ebooks that all have a sequential story and you have support in a forum and extra material. My traffic lessons each month return more than that if you apply this information to a converting sales page.

I just released a bonus video to my Traffic Secrets Monthly members showing them a simple method I used to generate $1300 overnight.

Desirable Qualities:

-Persistence
-Desire
-Self belief
-Business acumen
-Patience
-Analytical mind
-Salesmanship or trading knowledge
-Organization
-Experience at overcoming failure

If you have a big enough ‘reason why’ and you can follow instructions the information and support network is there for you.

Finally,

Don’t put yourself in a financial situation where you become desperate. This is not a good thing to do if you are down to your last few $$. It is not a get rich quick scheme.

It is a get rich slowly and long lasting plan with a legitimate business foundation.

Good luck

James

good stuff james. this might sound a bit duh! but in CPA i take it i would need to create landing pages to drive traffic to, before that traffic clicks through to the the site i’m affiliated with. if this is the case, is creating landing pages easy to do?
f

Hi Fraser,

You don’t need landing pages. They come after you test in many cases.

You can do CPA with direct linking if you like.

Creating landing pages is easy to do when you need to do that.

Regards

James

if i decide to buy the course through you james do i still get all the bonuses on offer from the other “gurus”?
if i buy, i have $s, which i bought some time back, available and would prefer to pay this way rather than changing £s into $s at the present rate. is there a way? perhaps by paying a bank here in the uk into an appropriate account.
i’m thinking hard about this.
f

Hi Fraser,

yes you get my bonuses and the gurus bonuses inside the membership area.

You’ll need to sort out your foreign exchange situation.

Regards

James

1)Which package of SpeddPPC will you recomment? The SpeedPPC Affiliate Pro or the basic one?

2)Is the offer to join Arbitrage Conspiracy still open by tomorrow?

Hi iswan,

I just use the regular package but the Pro version looks good.

Regards

James

About my second question? Is the Arbitrage Conspiracy (AC)still open for me to join…? I found that this blog really helpfull and would like to subscribe AC via your affiliate link

I TOO WANT TO KNOW IF THE A.B. IS STILL OPEN. WHEN ARE THEY CLOSING FOR SURE?

Hi Guys,

Not sure when they are bringing the shutter down on the sales page however the course starts in just three days…

I am about to open the new forum for my bonus members at the same time.

Regards

James

James,
I have just one question that I think I know the answer too already but here goes.

I’m in the military and work silly shift patterns (and short notice deployments for a few days at a time)

Would I need to be available at certain times or could I miss a day or 2 or even a week and then go back over the previous material and still make it work?

I really want this but if I’m not around then it could be difficult.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

You will be able to do this.

Most of the stuff I teach myself with comes from webinar recordings and DVD’s etc…

I work when I am at my peak rather than he webinars are on. It makes no difference.

This is one of the MOST flexible jobs you can do.

Regards

James

Hi James
As my computer has been in the shop for the last week I am only now viewing the pre-webinars but imagine my horror when I cannot clearly see the websites they bring up on the screen. I have the latest equipment but not Vista.
The slides show up great but there is no way I can follow along when they bring up a website. It is just blurred.When I enlarge to full screen it multiplies the problem. My screen is 22″ so too small is not the problem. As we do not get course notes I am panicing about missing things when they show websites to work on. Just trying to follow along is extremely frustrating just when they are on websites demonstrating.

I have shot off a contact to AC but is there something I am missing? As we are paying $3.3K AUD I want to be able to follow on the website.

Thanks
Pamela

Hi Pamela

I don’t think it is a vista thing – if y ou can see the video then it should be ok.

On my videos they are using camtasia that zooms in to the websites.

I can see the Blueprint zooms clearly – can you?

(Tell me what video and the time marker I’ll check mine)

@Pamela – I use vista and can see the videos perfectly. It may be that when your computer was in the shop the screen resolution settings were changed. This happenned to me last time my computer had a little hissy fit.

Hope you get it sorted out.

Leanne

Thanks Leanne!!

On the Webinar 1 I could not see the websites clearly and I am now in the middle of Webinar 2 and its the same. I am currently looking at the section of looking for tracking pixels etc but all the Pre start webinar websites come up the same.
The blueprint is ok not great when he zooms but I can just read the words.

Am super excited about doing this course as I believe he offers a wonderful education for becoming super wealthy online if we are prepared to WORK.
So thanks James for introducing us.

One other question. Do we receive notification of when the webinar for the course begins today as I have received nothing so far.

Thanks again.
Pamela

Thank you for the comment Leanne. I will get my son to play around with the resolution settings and see what he can do.

Thanks
Pamela

Pamela,

I have Windows XP on a laptop and have the same problem. The websites are visible but blurry. Often the address bar was in the video, and I could see it enough to then go to the site myself and go off of that. The blueprint was also blurry.

Hi, James,

I already own a domain name, and I’d like to refurnish it with more professional look in order to get approved by CPA networks. Do you happen to know if there is any free template resource on web for download? Or any site where I can purchase one at a low price? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I think you don’t have any problem with your XP.these videos are blury for all of us ,its in low resolution,but I think you don’t have to read all the text there.
the other new videos are in higher resolution.
for example try to see the video of choosing the killer offer.its very clear to read any text inside.
if you still cannot read the text ,then the problem is from your side.

@Jacky,

The free template resource is http://www.oswd.org/.

If you need to pay someone for a design there are places like http://www.99designs.com where you find great designers (by looking through the competitions) and commission them to get you up and running fast.

Regards

James

What a great bunch of people. Thank you Nancy and Dosha for setting my mind at rest.

did anybody else have problems getting reception on the first arbitrage conspiracy webinar? i connected by phone and got static and garble. any news on anyone. i was hyped up and felt so let down.

Hi,

They had 3rd party technical issues and will be releasing a recording today with the same material.

Here is an extract from the news:

“We started the Webinar, however
there were 3rd party technical difficulties beyond
our control.

We are recording a private session that is covering
everything that was to be covered live. This will be
posted inside the private members area shortly.

We again apologize for the technical difficulties. We
are working on making future webinars more stable
for you and the other members.”

Regards
James

fair enough. but with all the hype surrounding the launch you would have expected a strong team like these guys to start with a bang. they had weeks to do dry runs. anyway none of us are faultless so we’ll wait and see what’s been recorded.

One other thing James, I do wish Aymen would stop moving around as he records the videos. His voice fades in and out as he turns away from the microphone and the rattling paper is also off putting.
Other than that its great in content. I love the step by step lessons as even we beginners at PPC can learn at our pace.

Millionairemumma

hi guys, could somebody help me out with a couple of basics here? apologies if i come across just a tad naive.
when you run a cpa offer it helps to have a landing page (although not essential i believe). what is the difference between a landing page and a web site? do you have to register a domain name and have your landing page hosted as you do with a website? if you are running with lots of cpa offers presumably you have to set up lots of landing pages! is that correct?
what is an email submit offer? how do you direct link to your cpa offer?
just a few questions that would help me to get out of first grade. thanks to any helpful members.
fraser

Hello James,
I need much help, I set up PPC campaigns using CPA offers but how do I get google to show them? They states my ads rarely show because of low quality score. They say the landing page isnt revelant. My title and ad correlates with the offer. How do I get google to keep my ads up with a decent quality score. Please help

Wow James
Just saw my email from Mike Leibner and he lists you as one of the internets worthwhile blogs. Congratulations….and of course we all agree !

Pamela (millionairemumma)

Hi James,

Big Problem! While putting Display URL in Google Adward ads, only URL of 35 characters is allowed. But most of the time URL’s are longer than that. e.g

http://home.efax.com/s/r/cj-uk?VID=36258&TYPE=300087&PID=250671

When I tried to use shortened URL i.e http://www.efax or http://home.efax.com/s/r/cj-uk, In both these cases my ad. has been disapproved by Google. In the later one, it exactly displays what actual landing page diaplays. What should I do in this case.

Secondly, for email or zip submit offers, there are just very few keywords, sometimes just 5-6. But how can we make couple of hundered derivatives from just 5-6 kewords. When I tried to make big list of keywords google has slapped my Quality Score. Because the landing page didn’t have those keyword derivatives. Now how to promote “email and zip submit” offers.

Any arbitrager conspiracy member like to work together by discussing their experiences is most welcome. It would be a symbiotic working. If interested please email at dharmender.badwal08 [at] gmail.com

Thanks

Hi Dharmeder

You only need the part up the end of the .com for THE DESTINATION URL.

You are trying to put your affiliate link.

I cover this in my forum but for others you need to use a proxy like http://www.proxify.com and see where your URL ENDS UP.

That is the same URL as needs to appear in the display URL section.

Even better is to make a landing page with an iFrame

I purchased your study group for the Arbitrage…when will I get a link to get in?

Hi Kim,

It is an automatic re-direct after confirmation. I’ll email you access right now

Regards

James

James

What is the study group Kim refers to please?

Pamela

Hi Pamela,

Kim is referring to the SuperFastResults Forum membership.

For other readers:

Buyers of Arbitrage Conspiracy through my link get access to that for three months.

(Any one who bought from me has already been sent an email invitation.)

Arbitrage Conspiracy buyers who which to join our private forum can read more about it here:

Arbitrage Conspiracy Mastermind Group

Oops sorry James, am already a member but did not realise we were called a study group. But we certainly are. Its a wonderful group of helpful people and I am learning so much of the workings of AC and about all the associated tips, your videos and extra software to help the journey.
Most appreciate everyone patience and that all members seem dedicated to helping one another.

If we don’t have much related kewords on landing e.g landing page of “Home makeover”, can we put some related keywords e.g “sofa, carpet” in the meta-name of iframe, which are not there on landing page but can be related to some other keywords like furniture. Will it be against google policy?

sure. Meta tags may help quality scores.

Even better is to put them on the page in the form article under the fold. (Below eyesight).

Also I would link to an authority site and other pages in your site.

Thanks James,

Whenever I get stuck, I always look upto you. And always get valuable advice.

James, for offers like “Coke Vs Pepsi”, where there is no related keywords as such on landing page. How to do keyword research. I mean how to find handful of keywords as “keyword tools” don’t suggeset anything.

Thanks

you need to tie your landing page in with whatever you are bidding on.

If you don’t have keywords then choose another offer or spy on your competition using spyfu or Key Compete

thanks james.keycompete is quit useful tool. I ve just tried it.I am using spyfu and ppcwebspy as well.

Great interview I been following Aymen ever since I heard about AC. I wasn{t able to buy it but that didn’t stop me. I read the report and joined some networks. Im in 10 networks now at the moment including NeverBlue, Hydra and Marketleverage. I never imagined I as going to be able to join the networks but now I am in them I am really looking to do arbitrage. I just don’t know where to start I been following other super affiliates in their blogs who do PPC to CPA. None of those people make close to the money he makes but some make 3-4M a year doing it so I learn from them as well. I also like the content that Gauher Chaudry has in his ezine and webinars he has. First time I heard this offer and kinda see how Aymen looks my goal is to meet him one day as a successful Super Affiliate. I think its just time I take action and promote something I am passionate about and not just chase the money.
