Every now and again you see some fairly astounding stories of affiliates' successes.

Here's a guy who's willing to show his "proof" of how much he's generating from some of his ClickBank accounts...

It's $4,584 a DAY.

1. The $1.67 million video
==========================

I've seen a video which shows the sort of revenue SOME affiliates are generating.

In the video, Chris shows you four of his ClickBank accounts. For the past month or so, he's been averaging $4,584 per day, which works out at $1.67 million per year.

He says it's taken him 18 months to perfect his methods. He often does things which are a bit different from the way most affiliates do them.

Now he's spent six months and over $45,000 working with two programmers to create software to automate much of what he does.

What he's offering this time isn't an ebook, it's a membership site, including a package of software tools. He calls it a combination of "Google espionage" software and affiliate training.

I've seen some of the tools in the package but not all of them, so at this stage I can't give you a fully informed opinion.

Chris is trying to make things as simple for you as he possibly can. He's automated the selection of profitable, targeted keywords. The software tells you which hot-seller products to promote and which keywords to use. You're taught how to identify product "sweet spots". You're not starting cold.

His software will even auto create websites for you to use in your PPC promotions.

This is mainly about PPC, but one of his students is using these techniques to generate hundreds of dollars in sales WITHOUT using PPC.

Can YOU generate revenue anything like Chris's $1.67m? Maybe 10% of it? That would be a very handy $167,000.

I suggest you make up your own mind. Have a look at Chris's site and try his methods for one month. You've very little to lose and potentially a heck of a lot to gain.

Chris is planning to update the website soon. If the $1.67m video is still available when you read this, check it out...

2. Google pounces on PayPerPost members
=======================================

Last month, when I told you about Tony Thomas, who was earning $800 a month from PayPerPost, I warned you that Google could get tougher on paid posts.

Well, it's happened. Google has downgraded the visible PageRank on all the PayPerPost "postie" blogs to zero.

Here's how Ted Murphy of PayPerPost sees it:

Google Goes after the Everyday Blogger

There doesn't seem to be any point in trying to argue with the all-powerful Google. The time might be better spent studying Google's webmaster guidelines.

This is yet another reminder that it makes sense to diversify. Don't try to earn all your revenue from one product, one program, one affiliate network, one website, one source, one niche, or one marketing method.

3. We're back in beautiful New Zealand
======================================

Joanna and I are back with friends and family in Dunedin, New Zealand, for the southern summer as usual. It's great to be here. It's a truly beautiful place and - this week anyway - the weather is absolutely glorious.

We've been having a series of extended family parties and get-togethers to mark Joanna's father's 90th birthday. We love the way our Internet business gives us the freedom to do this sort of thing.

Here's we are...

4. Thought for today: Tomorrow
==============================

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

All the best
