Initial Review of PPC Classroom 2.0

Written by Paul Piotrowski - Friday, October 17th, 2008

So I have now had access to PPC Classroom 2.0 for two full days and I’ve had a chance to go through the content. What I mean by that is that I’ve actually finished the course. Well, that’s not entirely true.

The course comes with 9 modules to start with and after going through each module there is a short 10-question quizz after each module to test your comprehension of the material being taught. Two nights ago I completed the first 5 modules and today I finished off the last few modules to complete the course.

They are planning to continue adding content to the course in the coming months and expanding the community for affiliate marketers. Here’s my take on the course.

Firstly, I have to say that the interface and setup of the course is pretty easy to understand and it’s nicely organized. It’s pretty obvious what you’re supposed to do and it’s pretty simple to go through each topic in the 9 modules. I give them a big shiny yellow star for organizing it nicely.

Secondly, lets talk about the content. The content of the course to me seemed fairly elementary. There wasn’t a lot there that I didn’t already know. However, the few things that were in there which I didn’t know about are probably going to make a massive difference in my campaigns.

It’s kind of like trying to bake a cake and it keeps turning out bad, so you consult with someone about the recipe and you find out that you were forgetting one tiny, but key ingredient. What’s great about this is that the course re-affirms to me once again that I pretty much already know 99% of what I need to know to be successful in Affiliate Marketing, which is a good thing. It’s a big confidence booster when you pretty much already know what you need to know in order to be profitable.

So, right now my opinion of the course is this:

It was a good refresher of stuff I mostly already knew.
It’s a great course for beginners who are just starting out in PPC Affiliate Marketing.
I did learn a few new tricks that I am willing to bet will make a huge difference in my campaigns.
It had a confidence boosting effect to go through the course which I liked.
It clarified in my mind that the time for learning is over and it’s now time for "doing".
I feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth for the $77 I paid for the course.
I’m eagerly waiting to see what the PPC Classroom crew has in store for us to teach us more advanced stuff now that I’m "Certified Level 2" on their system.

If you’re just starting out in PPC Affiliate Marketing, you should definitely check into PPC Classroom 2.0. It’ll probably be the best $77 you spend.

If you’re already making a pile of money on PPC Affiliate Marketing, you still might want to check out the course because you know as well as I do that one little tip can save you way more than $77 in Google AdWords fees. Even if you just improve your click-through rates by a few percentage points or improve your conversion rates by a few percentage points, the course can easily pay for itself.

Besides, if you don’t like it… get a full refund if you want.
