Introduction to “Campaign Blasting” Video
Blast Blog Video #1
This is my first Blog Video Post! I thought it was a good idea to use the first video just to give a quick overview of what Blasting entails. From here future videos will cover all sorts of topics related to Affiliate Marketing & Adwords… News, information and coaching.
So… Sit back and enjoy!

Hello Matt,
Can you give me an idea of of the working capital I would need to have set by to give your blasting method a decent evaluation run.
I can make the monthly fee by economising elsewhere but how much seed cash is required and what other resources will I need (website hosting, third party tools, etc) before I can reasonably expect to fund operations out of profits?
Best

Hi Ray,
You have total control over your budget first off.. So you can easily set a budget that fits into your financial situation or to allot certain funds to testing over time.
Obviously you need some funds because it’s paid advertising. Overall this is a very conservative and low cost method.
I would normally recommend starting out a budget between $100-$300 a month. You should start seeing sales fairly quickly which will offset that cost and eventually through management and continued effort surpass it…
But I of course can’t give you a 100% on this answer.. Everyone is in different markets.. from digital products to physical.. There are 10s of thousands of merchants out there with millions of products.
Some campaigns do little.. some are cheaper than others.. others eat through your ‘test’ money in a day. Just depends. It’s a numbers game and it all averages out.
We have a lot of levers and controls in place so you have much less risk and there is more focus with this method on the buyers.
What I might suggest is when you join to quickly find your way to the Blaster’s forum. We have regular Blast Challenges where the members share their successes and stats.. you can get a feel for what the average Joe and Jane is doing.. real proof from people doing this.
And you should be able to get a feel for what others are spending.
But from my experience and having coached 100s to do this, a few hundred bucks to get started seems to be average.
Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, just let me know.
