Do you ever wish you could just do a Direct Linking PPC campaign to an affiliate offer to test it out, but find it hard to get a  good quality score for your keywords on Google?

I have a method that I have developed that allows me to do just that.  I am able to test affiliate campaigns with an easy, step-by-step method of keyword research using GTrends Made Easy that gives me good keywords that Google likes.

To give you an idea of how well this method has worked for me, I made two videos showing the method in full detail.  The affiliate offer I am promoting and the PPC campaign have been running for two days. 

 As of today, I had 58 clicks and 1 conversion.  The cost of PPC was $25.35 and my commission was $35.  Almost a $10 profit.  However, my goal was not necessarily to see if the campaign was profitable, I was merely wanting to see if the offer was converting before I spent any serious time doing keyword research, building a PPC campaign, building a website/landing page, etc.

Total time I have spent on testing this offer was 20 minutes (not counting the hour it took for GTrends Made Easy to process the keywords).

Enough of me explaining, watch the following two videos and I think you will understand much better and hopefully see the power of the technique and maybe even put your own twist on it.

Part 1

Part 2

I hope that helps you with your own keyword research and campaigns!

The good guys over at affearners have come up with a long list of “why you will fail at Internet Marketing”.  I think that it makes some great points (there are actually 99 total).  But I want to talk about 2 of them in particular, and you can read the rest for yourself here.

- You promote the wrong product to the wrong people  
- You Give Up too Soon

I have spent the last year of my life learning about Internet Marketing, researching and listening to others that are successful in this business, and trying to become successful myself.  After all that time, I have seen common threads among those that are successful.   

Don’t Try to Sell Ice to Eskimos 

You have to know your market, period.  That means that you have to know what your market wants and then sell it to them.  That is a sure way to be successful in this business.  I have heard many successful marketers say that they ride the waves of the trends.  They figure out what is hot, what people are dying to buy and then sell it to them.  That is not a hard sell.  You don’t need to do a lot of convincing on your landing page, just give them the checkout button and make your commission.

It’s Not How Many Times You Get Knocked Down, It’s How Many Times You Get Back Up That Matters

I love that saying and when it comes to success there is nothing more true than that.  Just because you try something and it doesn’t work, doesn’t mean you tuck your tail between your legs and go home.  No, on the contrary, you get up, dust yourself off, figure out what went wrong and try again.  This time, try not to make the same mistake you made before, but it’s ok to make a different mistake.  Until they perfect brain implants, the best way we learn is by our own mistakes or the mistakes of others.  As long as you never give up, then you will eventually succeed.

Death or Success, there are no other options 

When I look at my life, I only see two potential outcomes.  I either die before I succeed or I succeed before I die.  Either way, I don’t give up until one occurs.

Best Wishes,

Benjamin

I just wanted to thank everyone for their appreciation and interest in GTrends Made Easy. 

For those of you who have signed up for Wordze through my affiliate link in the application or this site, I sincerely appreciate it and I hope that you truly see 100 fold return using the service.

For those of you who have simply made a donation because you appreciated the tool, I sincerely thank you as well and also hope you see 100 fold return using this tool.

As a way of saying thanks, I am going to make a small challenge to you.  The Christmas season is upon us and I feel that everyone could benefit from using this tool.  My goal is to have this tool being used by 5,000 internet marketers by December 1st.  Right now, it has been downloaded by over 300 people, which I think is fantastic considering this is a brand new site and has only been released 3 days.  But, I am asking for your help to spread the word about GTrends Made Easy and help me hit this goal.  You are great internet marketers, so it should be easy to do with your knowledge and circle of influence.

My Christmas Gift to You 

The reward for meeting this goal is that I will give you a chance to make your suggestions on how to improve this tool to meet your needs and release a version 2.0 that will include these suggestions(as long as they are possible to do) for FREE.  For every 1,000 users of GTrends Made Easy by December 1st, I will implement 1 suggestion/new feature, up to a total of 5.

The way it will work is you will send in your suggestions and I will keep a list on the site.  On Dec. 1st, we will determine the total number of unique users based on downloads of GTrends Made Easy (please don’t download more than once),  divide that number by 1,000 and round to the nearest whole number.  That will give us the number of features (up to 5) I will implement out of the list of suggestions.

To determine which of the suggestions will be implemented, we will vote on them the first week in December.  At the end of the week, we will have our winners and I will get to work. 

I will release version 2.0 with the voted upon features as soon as they are finished and stable for FREE.

So, start spreading the word and tell all of your friends and forums about GTrends Made Easy (please don’t spam the forums or email lists), and let’s build a great FREE keyword tool.

Best Wishes,

Benjamin

I have released a new version of GTrends Made Easy today.  There was a suggestion made by a user that I thought was a great idea and was fairly simple to implement, so I went ahead and made it happen. 

 The new version (the download link was sent to everyone that has already downloaded version 1.0) gives you the ability to use this tool as an interface to Wordze’s API.  What that means is that if you don’t want to calculate GTrends for every keyword but just want to use Wordze’s search volume counts, now you don’t have to.  In version 1.0, if you include Wordze keywords, then it will calculate GTrends for every keyword that comes from Wordze.  This takes time because it goes out to Google for each keyword.  For those of you who aren’t interested in the GTrends information every time, now you can do a much quicker search just using Wordze results.

If you just want to do a quick search on a niche, now you can enter in your keywords and in a matter of seconds retrieve all of Wordze’s related keywords, along with the search counts.  You don’t have to go to their website to do this anymore.

The gentleman that made this suggestion even said he would be willing to pay for such a feature, but I told him that I want to keep this tool free and decided to go ahead and add it in as a bonus.

So, if you haven’t downloaded GTrends Made Easy, then go ahead and get it.  Use the green button on the right or click here. 

If you have already downloaded it, then you should have received an email giving you the new link to download the latest version.  If you didn’t get the email, let me know and I will send you the link.

Best Wishes,

Benjamin

GTrends Made Easy has been released for only one and a half days now and I just wanted to say thank you to all of the wonderful people who have downloaded it and also who have said thankyou to me.

 It means a lot when people actually appreciate the hard work that went into the software.  I know it can always be made better and more features added, but I appreciate that fact that you see the extreme value it provides for your keyword research.

I wanted to emphasize that you should watch the help videos, if you haven’t already done so.  Especially the one where I use Wordze.  If you haven’t watched it, I think you will be blown away at the power of the software coupled with Wordze.  If you really want to put your keyword research on auto-pilot and also expose yourself to a whole new world of different keywords, then definitely consider using the tool with a Wordze subscription.  I do it myself and can attest to the fact that it makes a huge difference in both the time I spend on keyword research and the quality of results.

Now, as a way of saying thank you to those of you who have downloaded the tool, I intend to do some videos over the next few weeks that show you a way to take an affiliate offer and put your keyword research into overdrive using GTrends Made Easy.

Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed so you can find out when the videos are out and also when updates on the tool are made.

Best Wishes,

Wow! I didn’t realize how quickly the word would spread about my software tool.  I just want to say that I hope you find it very useful and that you make a lot of money when you find those hidden keyword phrases from using it.

Please let me know if there is anything that you like or don’t like about it and how I can make it better.  From the response already, I think it will be worth my time to make sure you guys are happy with it.

Two quick points:

1. When you first run the software, it will ask you if you have a Wordze API key.  If you don’t already have a Wordze subscription, just click the “No” button and the software will load just fine.  It is meant to work with Wordze, so it will ask you that question everytime you start up to use it, unless you have entered a Wordze API key.  So, just click the “no” button and go on using it without a Wordze subscription.
2. Remember that this software is designed to automate the human process of calculating the GTrends method.  That doesn’t mean it is meant to be a speed demon and process thousands of words in a minute.  Because the software goes out and retrieves the data from public servers, I have throttled the requests to respect the owners processing power and not create more requests than it would normally receive if you were doing it manually.  Now, the power of the tool is that it can do this 24 hours a day, whereas, we can’t as humans.  To give you some idea, I have processed 10,000 keywords in about 24 hours.  I don’t have the time or energy myself to process 10,000 keywords, but I can let this tool just run and check the results when it is finished.

If you find the tool useful, please spread the word and subscribe to my RSS feed because later on I’ve got some surprises for my readers.
