Hello Fellow Blaster (or soon to be Blaster 
! I hope all is well with you!
Once or twice a year I update the Blast Guide… the main reason I decided to do it this month was because of the new Blast Membership area I opened up (I moved to a new CMS platform and everything has a fresh layout and design). I reference the Blast Membership for additional content and training a lot now in the guide and the links changed.
But… as many of you know that have been Blasters for a long time, usually when I do something like this it tends to turn into something bigger than I intend. The reason is because I’m always training, helping and implementing the Blast Method.
In between updates I come up with new ways to express things and teach things. I’ll read through the guide and make adjustments, add content and even subtract content that isn’t relevant any more.
Also tools change or are added.
This time around I expanded the Landing Page material more. Not just in the guide, but on the Landing Page Network Strategy page members get access to. I now have included more information about some of the advanced solutions you see being used by Blasters to build fast and powerful landing pages in the members area that the guide links to!
Besides several different scripts and solutions members are using, I also launched Affiliate Dynamo this last year and it now is referenced for additional training (Blast Members get bonus access to this membership).
I’ve added quite a few more references to pages in the membership in the guide.
I’ve added some more text boxes to express additional ideas that may not fit neatly into the content itself.
You’ll find a few more graphics to express different things.
There’s a new chapter. One of the topics I actually split off into it’s own chapter to help the flow and layout of the guide.
I’ve expanded on the “Campaign Expansion” section (what we do after we find a converting campaign) and have included some new ideas as to how to manage and expand your winners. There is a new way I’ve come up with that talks about Proven and Unproven winners and how far I go with each.
I’ve incorporated a new tool into some of the steps for those of you that own it. It’s a tool we use now to launch our Blasts faster and allows us to get even more organized!
And I’ve just simply reworked and re-expressed a lot of the content to help you understand what I’m talking about better and to condense some of it.
So what was meant to be a minor update, was a bit broader than that.. which is a good thing!
So if you are a member or past customer, you should have the update already. If you didn’t, contact me. Or if you want to plug into a proven Affiliate Marketing System to find profitable niches, please join us here: Campaign Blasts Membership
Thanks and Good Luck with Your Endeavors!

This is my first time hearing of the blast guide as well. It does seem to be some sort of affiliate marketing system. I’d be interested to read more about what it actually is.
Hello!
It is an Affiliate Marketing system. It’s a low cost method to test or sample markets using Google Adwords (or other similar PPC engines like Yahoo or MSN).
We build High Quality, Focused Campaigns to test the market..
And it really just boils down to dumping the losers and the winners or most potentials we expand.
We don’t go into a market unless we are already making sales. Blasting is a bit of an intelligence tool that way; it helps you figure out where the money is before you spend time and money building in that niche.
I’ve been teaching this method since mid-2005.. once you login, you’ll read many success stories in our active forum community.
That’s one of the big benefits. You have marketers that have been doing this for years hanging around along with a lot of new members joining every day.
I have a team of experienced Blasters and Affiliate Marketers ready to help you out every day.

Hope to see you there! Thanks for inquiring!

Thanks for the post…I’m definitely going to be checking out your blog in the future for more blasters and affiliate marketing posts
Good blog, is the affiliate marketing paying off?
Hi George,
For me… Absolutely. I’ve been an affiliate marketer for around 5 years or so.. I was able to close the doors of my offline businesses (an insurance and remodeling business) about 3 and a half years ago to do this full-time.
So the web business, including affiliate marketing, for me has paid of tremendously. And if you join my membership, you’ll note that it has for many others that are hanging around in the forum.
I hope that helps. Good luck to you!

Could you please tell me how much money is needed for your blasting system?
What I mean is how much do you spend on a campaign before you decide if it is a looser or not?
Hi Peter,
It’s based on clicks.. but generally the medium is probably $20-30.. but not every Blast (campaign) gets to that level and the time span differs.
Each Blast is a test.. some will never get a click.. some only a few a month.. some a few a week.. some a few a day.. some many a day.
So it’s not like you’d launch 25 Blasts and be spending $500+ dollars in a week. It’s more likely you’d be more in the range of $5 a week with the 25 combined. (this varies.. some batches of 25 may be more or less. It’s a numbers game)
Overall for someone new starting out I’d look at it as overall monthly budget wise. I’d recommend someone have at least a $100 a month budget to invest into testing campaigns with our methods.
In most cases that is quickly offset by the profits that person makes; and surpassed.
So you do have to invest a little to get the ball rolling and profits rolling. There is a delay, depending the aff program, for getting your commissions; so that has to be taken into account as well.
This is just like any business.. you are investing in advertising. But you do that so you can find the sales. Once you do, you ramp up, scale and expand your efforts with what’s selling.
HTH!

I’m a little confused about this. Do you already have to have something you will be selling or are you selling someone else’s product? And also, how do you find the people you will be sending the blast out to?
