Paid Traffic
Keywords & Ads
Keyword groups to build your campaigns from, a negative list to stop wasted clicks, and ad copy that already fits the character limits. Read the four rules first: they keep your ads approved and your account safe.
Four rules before you spend a penny
Brand terms: ask Andrew first
Don't bid on "Amazing Self" or any of its product names (Amazing Journey Sessions, Abundant Wealth Series), or put the name in your ad's headline or display URL, unless Andrew has said yes in writing. Email affiliates@amazingself.com. Don't bid on other companies' names either, such as Mind Movies, Simpleology or Marie Forleo.
Be careful with direct linking
Most ad networks reject or limit ads that go straight to a hoplink: the link redirects through ClickBank and lands on a different domain from your display URL. Even when it is allowed, a cold click on a long sales page rarely buys.
Send paid traffic to a presell page
Use one of our presell templates on your own domain, add something genuinely useful of your own, and link from there to the sales page. Ad reviewers want a page with real content, and warmed-up readers buy more often.
No promises in ads, and don't point at the reader's problems
No income, weight-loss or health claims, no before-and-after pictures. On Facebook and Instagram, don't write as if you know the reader's situation ("Are you in debt?", "Struggling with your weight?"): Meta rejects ads that assert personal attributes. Talk about the product and the topic instead.
Keyword groups
Put each group in its own ad group so your ads can match the search. Start with phrase and exact match, leave broad match off until you have sales data, and check your search terms report every few days to add new negatives.

These searches want something free, a login, a job, a different brand or medical help. None of them buy a $37 membership.
Search ad copy (Google and Microsoft Ads)
Headlines are 30 characters or fewer and descriptions 90 or fewer, counted on this page. None of them use the brand name, so they are fine for general keywords. Load them into a responsive search ad and let the platform test the mix.

Why Self-Help Stops Working Around Chapter Four
A book ends and the motivation goes with it. Here is how a monthly membership keeps topping it up.

One magazine, one expert interview and two videos a month, covering health, money, relationships and mindset.

When one area slips the others follow. A different way to work on all four, with a 60-day money-back guarantee.

- You earn about $22.20 on a first month ($37 at 60%) and about $18.50 for each month a member stays (50% recurring), before ClickBank's own fees.
- Break-even on the first month alone: if 1 in 100 visitors buys, you can pay up to about 22 cents a click. Work it out from your own numbers once you have them.
- Count rebills only after you have seen how long your own buyers stay. Until then, plan on the first month.
- Start with a small daily budget, change one thing at a time (keyword group, ad, or page), and give each test enough clicks to mean something before you judge it.
- Neither Amazing Self nor ClickBank can promise that a campaign will be profitable. You are responsible for your ad spend and for ads that get disapproved.
