It's Friday! Good time to kick back and relax right? Wait, that's not being productive! Or is it?

Some of the the tools we mention in the episode are:

After a short hiatus, the APB Podcast is back! 2016 is already half way over, so there's a lot to talk about.

In this episode, we each discuss something we think is important to focus on in 2016. With so many options out there, it's sometimes hard to choose what to work on because there isn't one right answer. Learn some of the things we're personally working on this year that we think will not only work good for the short term, but also stay effective in the future.

What do you guys think about our ideas for 2016 and beyond? Let us know in the comments.

Jacob, Jason and I recently got together to talk about all things PPC. PPC is a huge topic! You have different traffic sources like AdWords and Bing, search vs display, the list goes on.

We've all done a fair share of PPC, so it was interesting to hear different opinions on things. There's so much to talk about with PPC, we're definitely going to have to record some more episodes on it.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

Education is one of those evergreen niches that will always be around. It's a great niche to promote because there is always demand for leads, and there are many different sub niches within the niche to promote.

When I first started Aff Playbook, it was actually called ‘PPV Playbook' because we focused almost exclusively on PPV traffic. We've come a long way since then, and expanded to cover all types of traffic and a lot more.

I have a lot of experience running PPV traffic, and so does the entire APB faculty. In this episode, I sit down with Miser and Jerdei to talk about our experience with PPV traffic. Between the three of us, we have a lot to say on the subject.

Some of the things we discuss include:

* Our favorite types of offers to run

* What types of landing pages we use

* Our top PPV traffic sources

* Opportunities that go beyond promoting affiliate offers

This was a great discussion, and we all had a lot of fun! Be sure to let us know if you have any questions in the comments below!

 

 

The most important thing to learn about the 80/20 principle as an affiliate is what 20% of your actions will produce 80% of your results. To put it another way, how should you prioritize your tasks? What's important to focus on, and what doesn't really matter? The answers might surprise you.

Being a successful online marketer is one thing, but being a successful marketer year after year is another. Our industry is filled with stories of people who made all kinds of money once or twice but couldn't do it long term. So what's the difference between these two groups of affiliates? One big difference is the focus on building a ‘long term business', but what does that mean?

In this episode, I'm joined by two forum members – Jason aka miser and Jacob aka Jerdei. Both are successful affiliates, and help me out answering questions and supporting the forum. Between the three of us, we've helped train and support a lot of marketers in the forum. This has given us a good perspective on why some people become successful while others struggle.

In this episode, we focus on the need to diversify and build a well rounded business. We discuss taking the skills you learn in affiliate marketing and using them to branch out and diversify.

Enjoy the episode, and let us know if there's anything you would like us to cover in the future!
