Taste of Success – Affiliate Marketer Jerry Ling

Jerry is what some would consider a newbie within affiliate marketing, but what sets him apart is what most newbies crave, real results. Let’s listen to what has made Jerry so successful, having just started in the industry such a short time ago…
Kaare (of nam/offers):
Hey Jerry, welcome to the segment, are you ready for the interview?
Jerry Ling:
Hey Kaare, yes, many thanks for your interview. It’s a great pleasure for me to be the first on your list. Sorry for the late reply, I am busy with my personal stuff and work lately. Now it’s time to answer all the interview questions.
Kaare:
So Jerry, first of all, tell us a bit about yourself. How old you are, where do you come from and where are you going in regards to online marketing?
Jerry:
I am currently 24. I come from China, but live in Malaysia. I currently work in Singapore as an Engineer. I stumbled upon Internet Marketing in 2013 on Facebook. I then found a course about Pay Per View marketing, which cost me $2,000.00 (USD). After going through the course, I realized it was not good, honestly, it’s sucked because it only touched the surface of PPV. But that’s okay, what I believed would make me a success with PPV was my hard work and I was right, my hard work paid off! Nevertheless, I moved forward, as I am a positive thinker and this is still the beginning of my Internet Marketing Journey. Currently, I am focusing on PPV campaigns. When I have good results, I keep testing and might scale it to other type of traffic sources and countries.
Kaare:
That’s awesome Jerry! So, how long have you been in the industry altogether?
Jerry:
I have been in this industry for a total of 8 months. I do a lot of self studying and I’ve learned a lot, I am just building a bigger budget to try everything I am learning. Therefore, I am focusing on one type of paid traffic first before moving on to another. It’s very important to laser focus on one type on Internet Marketing first.
Kaare:
Very true, so, what do you think it takes to become a good affiliate marketer?
Jerry:
Well, there is nothing free in this world. The most important thing to achieve success as an affiliate marketer is hard work. I believe in the hard work pays off model. Besides that, you must be hungry enough to succeed. On-going motivation is another important criteria to be successful in this industry. For example, when you see other people’s successes, you will be motivated and thirst for more. For the motivation part, I think AEA and Namoffers has done an excellent job. Mike and Fred will always post their successful results on Facebook to motivate us. When seeing their success, you must take it as a good case study and learn from there. Finally, and the utmost important thing, YOU MUST TAKE ACTION! THE DOER WILL SUCCEED, THE LISTENER WILL ONLY ENVY THE SUCCESSOR.
Kaare:
Well said Jerry. Do you read any affiliate marketing blogs?
Jerry:
Yeah, definitely. There are tons of good affiliate marketing blogs around on Internet. I gain limitless knowledge from these blogs. To name a few, charlesngo.com, jayknowscash.com, mrgreen.am, addictprofiction.com. Besides these blogs, try to join forums and gain knowledge from there. In June, IMGrind was opened to public but shut down in July. Nevertheless, I save a lot of useful information for my usage in the future. This is what it takes to be successful in Internet Marketing.
TAKING MASSIVE ACTIONS AND GAINING KNOWLEDGE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Kaare:
Do you have any affiliate marketing tips that you would like to share with our readers?
Jerry:
For tips, nothing much more than, you really need to have determination to success and prepare to pour in a lot of your hard earn money. Don’t feel disappointed when you fail, you are just spending money to buy data. THE DATA YOU BUY IS GOLD.
TEST, TEST and TEST to the max until you get it to a successful campaign.
Applying the 80/20 rule, 20 percent of the successful campaign will be able to cover the money you spent and gain profit from there.
Kaare:
What affiliate networks do you work with and why?
Jerry:
I am working with Namoffers, W4 and currently applying to Neverblue. The reason for working with different networks is because different networks have different offers and payout. Some networks have better payouts due to better relation with the advertiser. Besides, the same offers from different networks might convert differently due to offer scrubbing, network algorithm and offer loading speed.
Kaare:
What affiliate marketing tools do you use to improve your promotion methods?
Jerry:
For tools, I have signed up for AEAtools (from Affiliate Expert Academy) Free Trial before. But due to the monthly fee, I had to cancel the subscription for the time being. I am manually scraping targets for PPV on my own. There are lots of ways to research if you know the methods.
Besides that, I use CPVlab as my tracker and a virtual private server (VPS) for my hosting. In paid traffic, speed is everything, therefore VPS is a must. The monthly fee is high, but this is a basic cost you have to bear. I also use Photoshop to create simple landers.
For uploading landers to my server, I use Filezilla – It’s free.
For competition research, I use Google Trends, Alexa and SimilarSites.
The best free URL scraper I have found is: magicurlscraper,I scrape URL’s from there and manually insert into Google if the sites are laser targeted.
Kaare:
If you were to give advice to newbies in Affiliate Marketing, what would that be?
Jerry:
Don’t be Afraid to fail. You will achieve what you want, with strong will and determination.
Kaare:
What is your goal for the rest of 2014?
Jerry:
My goal for 2014 in Internet Marketing is to generate $1,000.00 (USD) in monthly revenue through PPV. But, I definitely hope for more. This is my minimum requirement.
Kaare:
That’s definitely a great goal Jerry! So, we’ve reached the end of this interview. Is there anything you want to say before we call it a day?
Jerry:
