Scroll down to the end of this post
for a cheaper alternative to The Magic Bullet!

Today is a big day for Internet marketers as Amish Shah & Jay Styles launch their much publicized product – The Magic Bullet System (not to be confused with the Magic Bullet Blender!)

Since everyone in the Internet marketing world is talking about this product, I thought I will give my commentary on it for the benefit of my subscribers and visitors to this blog. (This is not a review of the Magic Bullet System).

Before I go further, let me briefly describe what the Magic Bullet System is -

From what I have seen, read and heard, the Magic Bullet System is a comprehensive system (bundled with a comprehensive training program and an CPA Network) that can effectively run your affiliate marketing business for you. It has all the tools within the custom software to -

- Build Websites for you
- Build "Google Friendly" Landing Pages for you
- Build Blogs and Opt-in pages
- Create and optimize PPC/PPV campaigns
- Conduct in-depth market research
- Tell you what to sell and who to sell it to
- Help you to optimize your campaign, track clicks and conversions for profitable promotions, etc.

In more detail, the Magic Bullet System -

1. Builds optimized pages for you in minutes, literally – sales letter style pages, opt-in pages, blogs with content rich pages … it has all the frills like 'order buttons', 'call-to-action' graphics, legal pages etc.

2. Creates ads, draws out competitor ads and uses a proprietary algorithm to unearth the ads that has the maximum profit potential.

3. Automatically optimizes your campaign, tracks clicks and conversions from any traffic source and creates a profit profile. Helps you know your stats for your PPC networks, Content networks, Social Media Networks …

4. Automatically computes the most profitable bid for keyword enabling you to create a profitable campaign.

5. Has a comprehensive reporting system that integrates data from all aspects of your campaigns.

6. Lastly it includes a comprehensive 8-week training that covers everything from how the CPA system works to the use of the custom Silver Bullet software.

The 8-week training program covers -

Week-1: Market, Keyword & Competition Research, including customer demographics which are important in building and targeting your offers.

Week-2: Target Acquisition System – How to use the Custom software to build Landing Pages, Tracking Strategies & Linking Tactics & improving Conversions on landing pages (including the psychology of landing pages and what you should be writing on your landing pages to effectively target your demographics). You also learn about cheap traffic sources like CPV (PPV), 3rd party engines and more … You will learn how to split test offers & landing pages.

Week-3: Setting Up Campaigns and driving traffic through Google, Yahoo, Bing, CPV, others.  They also teach you how to dominate the Google Content Network, how to write convincing ad copy – techniques and the knowhow of when to use them, as well as the emotional benefits to improve ad copy and website design.

Week-4: Using Magic Bullet Auto-Tracking features. This session tells you how to read the reports that show you -

1. which keywords are working
2. which ads are working
3. which landing pages are working
4. which demographics are working

6. testing offers (including split testing offers) to identify what is working best.

What Do I Think of Amish's Magic Bullet System?

I think Amish & Jay have put together a very solid product. This is something they have built and used for the past year or more and so it should be relatively bug free (assumption).

Why are they selling this product?

Other than the obvious monetary reason, I believe their strategy here is to build an army of well equipped affiliates to promote the CPA offers in their Ymultimedia CPA network (www.ymultimedia.com) … a very intelligent, long term strategy.

Is it worth the $2,997 (or 4 payments of $797) price tag?

I believe YES. In effect, with all the pieces they have thrown in, it is akin to buying an entire working business model with the training on how to run it and make it successful (I believe there is also a Mastermind continuity program that is an optional sign on – which could ensure continued success).

If you are a newcomer to the Internet marketing business or even a medium to extremely experienced one, you will find that buying pieces of software (and spending the time to learn each of them) that ultimately does what the magic Bullet System does will come up to the same price range (or maybe more) … and yet you will not have the benefit of a nicely integrated system which includes a comprehensive single window training.

The Magic Bullet System is, like it states – a complete out-of-the-box system that performs the end-to-end process of affiliate marketing using paid traffic sources.

(If your Internet marketing model  is based on SEO and free organic traffic, then this product is not for you).

An Important Point To Note:

Those of you buying this package should realize that you are buying into the business of CPA Affiliate Marketing and PPC Marketing. You need to have a decent budget set aside for PPC marketing in order to benefit from this system … so, your total cost of ownership of this system is much higher than the $2,997 price tag. You need to factor this into your purchase decision of the Magic Bullet System.

The good news is that you can test out the system and see if it fits with what you want to and can do in Internet marketing. The product comes with a 6-week 100% money back guarantee.

Is There A Cheaper Alternative to The Magic Bullet System?

YES there is! You may check out SpeedPPC which is an excellent program that does a lot of what the Magic Bullet System does. It comes with comprehensive video training and user guides too.

SpeedPPC comes in 2 flavors -

1. SpeedPPC 4 – at $397

2. SpeedPPC 4 Affiliate Pro (Best Value) – at $497

A Note of Caution to Internet Marketing Newbies:

PPC marketing requires a different mindset and a certain element of risk taking (even though the software claims to mitigate some of these risks) with campaigns potentially going awry.

I would recommend newcomers to the Internet business to grab themselves a copy of Perry Marshall's "The Definitive Guide to Google AdWords" as a starting point to learn the nuances of PPC marketing. Priced at $49, this 277-page guide is an invaluable resource.
