Yazing, the influencer monetization and cashback shopping platform, launched by Adam Viener in 2015, recently announced that they have reached 50k members after a record breaking year in 2020. Yazing now has over 3,600 brands on that platform that any member can instantly start promoting and earning cash rewards for generating sales. Members have generated nearly $4 million dollars in commissions on the platform.
“Companies have long offered affiliate programs, but these deals can be difficult to navigate and out of reach for the average individual, influencer or blogger.” said Adam Viener, Founder of Yazing. “I believe that EVERYONE has influence and deserves to be compensated for the sales they help generate. I launched Yazing in 2015 with the goal of making these often elusive opportunities accessible to anyone looking to earn some extra money from home promoting and supporting the brands they love.”
Anyone with an email address and the ability to receive payments via PayPal is welcome to join Yazing for free and start earning money.
Yazing is a new platform that is turning every mommy blogger into an affiliate and allowing them to easily earn commissions recommending brands they love.
With a quick easy signup, Yazing members get access to promote the latest deals and coupons offered by the site's growing list of brands. Anytime someone referred by our members makes a purchase from one of those brands, the Yazing member earns the affiliate commissions for the transaction.
"Mommy Bloggers work hard to build their audiences and provide valuable recommendations. We created Yazing to help them, and others, be fairly rewarded this value and the transactions they are creating." said, Adam Viener, Yazing's Founder.

At Imwave, Inc., we’ve been using SpeedPPC to help create more relevant, tightly structured PPC campaigns in less time than it takes to brew a strong cup of Italian espresso. In the two years we’ve been using SpeedPPC, we’ve seen our quality scores and conversions increase, our bids decrease, and the shortcuts in the Campaign Builder platform have taken the tedium out of building strong adgroups out of heaps of keywords and ads. Dare we say, this software actually makes building campaigns FUN. So when the folks at SpeedPPC asked us to test drive their new V5 Cloud version that’s being released on July 2nd, we were happy to take it for a spin and kick the tires.
If you currently don’t use SpeedPPC, then you are lucky: you get to start using this terrific time-saving tool in the updated V5 cloud version to completely revamp how you build your PPC campaigns in a fraction of the time it probably takes you now. V5 has a streamlined layout and a more user-friendly dashboard to help newbies jump in and start building campaigns without the orientation it took learn how to use the old version. But before you just go and download the software and begin poking around, realize that this will probably be a completely new way for you to think about PPC campaign building. Watch the tutorial videos and read the orientation materials; it will help you utilize SpeedPPC to its maximum potential right from the get-go. Trust us; it’s time well-spent.
For current users of SpeedPPC, here’s a rundown of the improvements with V5:
Now, instead of opening the software right to the campaign builder tool, you enter a summary dashboard that shows you your recent activity and an updated news ticker from SpeedPPC. From the V5 dash, you can click into your recent campaigns, start a campaign, or jump into other tools available (more on those in a moment).
And, fellow existing SpeedPPC users, you’ll notice the look is drastically different than our tried and true V4.5.4-in a good way. The lighter colors, expanded toolbar (which you can now minimize if you don’t want to use all the bells/whistles offered), and streamlined layout are more pleasant to work with than the previous version.
We’ve played around with all the reports and have found them helpful, but beware; some of them cost credits for every keyword returned. You’ll notice in V5 that a message listing your Research Credits level is displayed in the upper right corner of the dashboard; credits will be deducted for each report that requires credits. Out of the 7 available reports, only 4 require credits. Since all customers start with 500 credits and it can cost you 40-50 credits per keyword, you can burn through that pulling one report. Recharging credits is easy and relatively inexpensive ($15 for 200,000 credits) so don’t let the credit thing throw you. Definitely take that first 500 free credits and play around with the research reports to see if they can add value to your PPC campaign building.
Thanks to Jay Stockwell and the folks at SpeedPPC for letting us beta-test SpeedPPC V5 cloud edition. If our Campaign Managers have anything to say about it, you’re not getting it back. You’ll have to pry it from our cold, dead fingers. If you want your own, check out www.speedppc.com and download the new version on July 2nd. Once you get it up and running, let us know what you think about it.

I have been a big fan of Joel Comm for a long time. For me, it started with his AdSense Secrets Book. He showed me how ANYONE could make extra money with your websites using the power of Google's AdSense program. I had known about AdSense, and had even toyed with it on some of my sites, but it wasn't until I read his first eBook that I started to really understand how to optimize the placement of the ads and really generate good money from these contextual ads.
Since his first eBooks, Joel Comm has gone on to become a New York Times Best-Selling author.
Joel and I have become friends, since then. We often see each other at the Affiliate Summit conference in Vegas and enjoy getting lunch and catching up.
So I was intrigued at Christmas time when I got this box with a Green "Easy Button" that goes KaChing every time I press it. (It also goes KaChing every time my kids go by my desk). Perfect for me as for some time the "KaChing" sound was my AIM tone. What better sound for an Internet Marketer?
The Kaching Button was just a teaser. The other day I received his latest Book, "KaChing: How to Run an Online Business that Pays and Pays"
What I like about KaChing, is that it brings me back to when I first started IMWave. For me it wasn't about making millions of dollars online, it was about taking this $1,000 debit card my employer had given me and seeing if I could turn it into $2,000. Once I had done that it became about seeing if I could earn enough each month to cover my car payment, then my mortgage, then replace my Salary. These incremental goals lead me to building IMWave into the Inc 5000 company that it is today.
Joel's book will walk you though what it takes to build a website that brings in an extra $500-$1000 per month. With the skills he provides, you can then determine how you want to apply them. Think about it, What does an extra $500 - $1000 per month mean to your lifestyle?
When you couple the great book with all the extra bonuses that Joel has been able to "squeeze" out of his internet marketing colleagues, it turns buying his book into a no-brainer. Once you have purchased, visit his site and fill out the form to claim the extra rewards and gain access to his member area!

Building and managing good pay per click campaigns can be a tedious and time consuming task. In today’s world of quality scores and click price penalties for poor performing campaigns, it is more important than ever to have tight adgroups with keywords, ads, and landing pages tightly focused around a single topic or phrase. The old days of finding thousands of keywords, dumping them into one large adgroup and seeing what works is officially over.
A number of PPC campaign management tools have sprung up to speed up the process of creating smaller adgroups and make the task easier and more efficient. We decided to evaluate Speed PPC and Efficient PPC, put them to the test and see which one works the best.
The basic concept behind these tools is that you take a high volume term or list of terms as your seed list, and expand your keywords by matching those terms against an expansion list of terms like City, States, etc… This might be over simplified as both tools can be used with or without expansion lists.
Efficient PPC Review (Version 1.1.0.3) from Web Monsters LTD.
Efficient PPC was easy to get up and running, the documentation provides easy step by step instructions on how to utilize the software to build campaigns on Google using the Eficcient PPC software and Google’s Adwords Editor.
The Efficient PPC software comes with 8 expansion lists pre-installed: buy-words, capital-cities, cheap-words, colors, countries, months, us-cities, and us-states. Additionally, through their member area, you can download the following 5 additional expansion lists: car-manufactures, car-models, domain-extensions-countries, domain-extensions-general, and toy-companies.
I especially like Efficient PPC’s ability to mix and match up to 5 keyword phrase lists (seed or expansion lists). Their use of insert tokens in urls and adcopy is very intuitive, and the software’s ability to set Google account settings to insure you limit your campaigns to a default 2,000 keyword Adgroups, and 50,000 keyword campaigns should come in handy.
Efficient PPC has the ability to build campaigns for both Google and Microsoft AdCenter. However, Microsoft AdCenter seems to have been added as an afterthought with little to no documentation or settings in the tool, other than a checkbox when building a campaign to create a CSV file for importing into AdCenter. Efficient PPC does not currently support Yahoo Search Marketing or other PPC search engines at this time.
Speed PPC Review (Version 3.0.11)
Speed PPC was equally easy to get up and running, and the documentation is a bit more detailed and may take a little longer to understand. That is understandable, as the Speed PPC system is a little harder to understand and has a few more features.
The Speed PPC software comes with 15 pre-installed expansion keyword lists: Action Keywords, Australia Cities, Australia Regions, Canada Cities, Canada Regions, Descriptive Keywords, Germany Cities, Germany Regions, Lead Keyword, Price Keywords, UK Cities, UK Regions, US Cities, US Cities (optimized), and US Regions.
Additionally, through their member area, Affiliate Pro members can download the following 19 additional main expansion lists: Australian Suburbs, Car Models, Cell Phone Models, Colors, Digital Cameras, Laptops, Motorcycle Models, Occupations, Perfumes, Routers, Top 1000 Actors, Top 1000 Books, Top 1000 Musicians, Top 300 PS2 Games, Top 300 PS3 Games, Top 300 Xbox Games, Top 300 Xbox360 Games, Top 500 Wii Games, and Video Cameras. Plus, there are another 184 Geographic expansion lists with Cities and Regions of just about any country you can imagine!
Speed PPC is setup into 3 different campaign building modules, Single Core, Dual Core, and Domain. The Single Core takes a single core campaign based on a seed keyword list, The Dual Core campaign takes a seed keyword list and combines it with an expansion list, and the Domain module takes a seed list of domain names and automatically generates a list of 132 typo domain variations like wwwdomain.com and ww.domain.com.
Speed PPC’s Affiliate Pro Membership also comes with 18 Landing Page template designs, easy instructions for passing and utilizing seed keywords and expansion keywords dynamically in your landing pages via PPC, and an affiliate database tool that enables you to import an affiliate advertiser’s data feed and dynamically pull product, pricing, and other data into your landing pages based on the keywords in the ad campaign. These advanced features enable you to build truly optimized ad groups, ad text, and landing pages that carry the specific terms all the way to your landing pages and the actual products displayed on those pages. Very powerful stuff!
There are a few things I really like about Speed PPC. First Speed PPC works with Google, Yahoo Search Marketing, Microsoft AdCenter, and many secondary search engines. The software has a custom output file tool that will enable you to customize the output for any search engine platform. Second, the tool has advanced ad options enabling you to create variable ad templates based on keywords. Finally, SpeedPPC has the ability to create unique tracking numbers so you can choose to pass a number instead of your keywords in your urls.
Which Pay-Per-Click Campaign Building Tool should you choose?
Both Speed PPC and Efficient PPC will effectively get the job done. If you are primarily working with Google Adwords and dabbling with Microsoft AdCenter, Efficient PPC might be a good choice. It’s a little easier to use and quicker to get up and running on. If however, you are working with Yahoo, Affiliate Data feeds, or want to take advantage of some more globalization and expanded keyword lists, Speed PPC might be a better choice.
Efficient PPC starts at $156 for a quarterly subscription and goes up to $468 for a lifetime subscription.
Speed PPC comes in 2 versions, regular and Affiliate Pro. The regular version is $397 and the Affiliate Pro version is $497. Both versions come with 12 months of free upgrades.
Both come with Money-back Guarantees, with Efficient PPC offering 60 days and Speed PPC offering 30.
Honestly if you are spending any real time managing PPC campaigns, then either software package is going to save you more than enough of your time to cover the cost. Time is Money, so be sure to integrate one of these great tools into your PPC campaign building process, you won’t be sorry!
