Day Job Killer
=============================================================================================================================
Day Job Killer is Chris McNeeney's latest book that was launched in February 2007. He is also the author of Affiliate Project X and Adwords Miracle. This one was launched in February 2007 so the jury is still out with regards to whether or not some of the less than ethical and controversial techniques inside of it actually work. It could also be called "Affiliate Project X Part 2" as quite a bit of this book is similar to the content of McNeeney's last book especially when it comes to discussing how to choose a good informational product and stressing how if you don't have one all of your efforts will be to no avail.

It is one of the most popular books about affiliate marketing available at the moment so you will have no problems finding a site where you can download the dayjob killer pdf. Perhaps this is because the author once published a video that showed how his tactics created a $1-million dollar clickbank account and that many find this inspirational.

Marketed as a book for "predators, scavengers and vultures", basically the day job killer torrent is a strategy guide for affiliate marketers to promote their products using the direct linking method. This is a classic example of a publisher "turning left" in order to sell books. Many gurus and experts would say linking is dead in the water and that it hit its peak in 2003. This is because the major search engines such as Google now discourage direct linking by increasing bid limit amounts for specific keywords and charging a mint for popular ones.

The thesis behind Day Job Killer is basically that direct linking is back and that making money out of informational portals such as Commission Junction and Clickbank has had its day. The money is to be made in less well know affiliate programs like Target and Wal-Mart.

All of this fuss about the return of direct linking is explained in the second chapter. Much of the information is similar to another successful eBook called Google Cash with some new perspectives worked in.

For a book that is supposed to be a bit savage it is a bit odd that day job killer net success is not about creating portal pages. The author does not encourage black hat SEO and techniques like that but it does encourage spying on your competition and stealing from them. The author spends time discouraging such techniques as cloaking links, squeezing pages and creating endless landing pages. It is hard however to say if these techniques actually work or if they could harm your business as nothing is really proven. The book has not been out long enough and the techniques have not been well practiced enough to get a great deal of testimony about business success using Day Job Killer.

All things considered, the premise of Day Job Killer is that the good old days of affiliate marketing are back. The jury is still out though on whether simpler is better and how long these search engine work-arounds will last. You should keep your eye on affiliate forums to see how people are doing with it and whether or not they are making money.

Like its predecessor, Affiliate Project X, Day Job Killer is a good read even though it is a little short at only $60 pages. The book retails for $77 but of course because it is a Clickbank product that price could change at any time.

One of the most impressive things about the book is that it does present case studies for each technique that is presented and it shows you how to accomplish it all with little need for capital.

Like his first book, Day Job Killer offers google adwords help and google adwords tips. One of the biggest revelations is how you can get started in less than sixty minutes using his advanced adword secrets and recommended google adwords keyword tool, which happens to be free.

Like Affiliate Project X, Day Job Killer also writes about a concept he calls Levelling that was called Leeching in his last book. With this technique you give a bad review of a product at first to get the readers attention and then turn it around and recommend it anyway, or bait and switch by recommending another related product that you were really trying to sell in the first place. This is the old "there's no good or bad PR" approach to marketing.

Although all of the affiliate marketing success books written by this author do suggest ruthless tactics to achieve success Day Job Killer is particularly unethical. It is about how to steal a six-figure niche. In fact most of what he does expose as a close door formula it is usually a proven blueprint that has been lifted from another internet guru's work. This proves that nobody can rob guru theories or steal from super affiliates better than the publisher of Dayjob Killer.

A lot of what is suggested in this book is not considered to be fair play in business. In fact the main gist of the book is that you should find out what is successful for similar people, copy their methods and then shove them out of the market using their own marketing methods. If you are more appreciative of a business take that is more "live and let live" then the strategies in day job killer are probably not for you.

. In fact most of the affiliates that market this book describe it as not being for "wimps and sissies" or "another sheep in the herd" or "average Joes." It is for people who want to be "rich jerks" and "killers." The goal is to achieve a status called Super Affiliate Hood.

This is done by doing some unethical things. There is even a trick in this book that shows you how to rip off your own affiliates, a concept that is of course very controversial. The author not only promises to help your rip profits out of the hands of your affiliates but also how to perform this same trick on product merchants. It also shows you, using a technique called The Leveller how to steal your competitor or vendor's customer list.

Not much more ethical is the section on Campaign Nuking, which shows you how to sell your customers two or three different products instead of just one. You basically surf around and then find people who seem to have successful campaigns. You then mirror what they are doing by building a campaign that mimics theirs and sells more profits.

The rationale is "why make 100% profit when you make 1000% profit?" Of course the caveat with this is that if you are not selling something that you are proud of that this will not work and that you need to have a quality product to sell. This is where people who have read Affiliate Project X will notice similarities to the content in Day Job Killer. A lot of the content in Day Job Killer is a rehash of the "how to select a great informational product" sections in Affiliate Project X.

Some of the techniques don't seem that original. For instance the technique that the author calls Undercutting is simply the suggestion that you send out your competitor's ideas in the form of free information to your clients. This is done all of the time so it doesn't seem like that daring of a suggestion however if it has never occurred to you to give away a free viral product to get people to visit your site then you can certainly learn how to do that by reading Day Job Killer.

Other advice that seems a bit obvious is the suggestion that you might want to consider advertising offline as well as online. This is framed as a return to an old school way of doing things in the book but most marketers do this anyway or have it in place anyway especially if they have been in business a long time. He shows you how to get your online material published in magazines so you can draw more business to your website.

The cop out with this book is that it still cites that you can't make money unless you have a great product that sells. This of course is a kind of disclaimer as it means, "Well if these techniques don't work you must have a lousy product." On the other hand the book does contain all kinds of unique and quality information if you want to get down and dirty when it comes to marketing.

It is also really impressive the way he provides you with real landing page examples that you can download and start using right away. His section on Google Adwords is also stellar as it is quite clear from all of the real life examples that he provides that he really does understand and can teach about how to use the system effectively.

As you may have guessed from reading this review, the Day Job Killer book is for more advanced affiliate marketers and you need to know the basics behind such concepts as marketing with Google Adwords, writing ad copy and working with Clickbank or it will not make a lot of sense to you.

If there is any reason to buy this book is because like his other books, Adwords Miracle and Affiliate Project X, this one also broke Clickbank records. It broke the record for making the most ClickBank sales in a week within the first 24 hours of its launch. This means that not only is the product itself good but everything including his landing page, thank you page and affiliate offers are worth it for the budding affiliate marketer to study.

Like his other books, this one is also supposed to have been raided and raped from other gurus which is why it seems that this might be a big ghostwrite that is just a compendium of other guru's ideas. At any rate it is the conclusion of this day job killer review that the book is well written if not a bit sparse with the pages for the price.
