One of 7 ideas covered in this video
Build simple comparison landing pages (e.g. '5 Best Online Course Platforms') and bid on Google/Microsoft Ads keywords tied to that category, sending paid clicks to the page hoping visitors click through and convert at a rate that beats the cost per click. Conversions are tracked via postback URLs/APIs routed through a tracking tool, then fed back into the ad platform.
Framed as the creator's own career origin running PPC for a software company at roughly $100,000/month, with real high-volume examples shown bidding on categories too competitive to rank for organically. The math can work with negotiated commission rates far above the public standard, or cost-per-lead deals.
People with real ad-spend capital, direct-response/analytics experience, and existing relationships or negotiating leverage with affiliate managers to secure non-standard commission rates — explicitly not recommended for beginners.
This is the most candidly risky idea in the source: the presenter states outright that 'this math breaks on standard affiliate commissions' and only works with negotiated rates 5-10x the public offer, admits to personally losing money on campaigns, and says he doesn't recommend it for beginners. Requires real capital, non-trivial tracking infrastructure, and affiliate-manager relationships most beginners don't have.
