About
My name is Dave Baker Dror Bekerman and I am an internet and affiliate marketer.
The one thing I want in life is Financial Freedom. I can’t see myself working a 9 to 5 day job as 99% of the world is doing. I don’t want to be stuck in the “rat race” for the rest of my life, working hard to survive and not having the time to actually enjoy life and what it has to offer.
One of the first and most important aspects I was looking for is a way to make money by working whenever I want and from wherever I want. It did not take me long to figure out that making money online using the internet is the best way to go.
I actually started out selling products on eBay and Amazon about 3 years ago. It all started with simply selling junk I had lying around the house. When my junk was all gone I moved on to selling junk family members and friends had lying around. I than started to find suppliers and drop shippers in Asia, Europe and the USA and managed to build a nice little business that I managed from home and was doing quite well.
During this time I was always interested in the Internet Marketing world and played around with it during my eBay selling days but I never really took the first step and TOOK ACTION, so I just kept on buying products, reading eBooks and watching videos of all the “GURUS”, but never actually did anything with all that information except letting it pile up on my hard drive (sounds familiar?)
In mid 2010 I decided that I had enough of eBay policies and their awful feedback system (awful for the sellers), so I started taking action and using all the information I learned during the past 2 years from all the eBook reading and video watching. I focused on affiliate marketing as I felt is the best way to start from nothing and build my business from the ground up. I am now a full time affiliate marketer doing very well for myself and my eBay selling days are all in the past.
My Products
Product Launch Domination Blueprint
This is the first information product I created together with Jack Partain. Inside PLDB you will find the exact blueprint me and Jack used to dominate Clickbank product launches. It will show you everything you need to know from where to find products, which products to promote, how to install and setup your WordPress sites, everything about on page SEO and two link building blueprint. The manual and free blueprint which is great for newbies that are just getting started and the advanced link building blueprint for those that have some to spend on some automation tools.
You can check it out on the Warrior Forum.
Pingback Power
Pingback Power is the first (and only for now) WordPress plugin I developed and at first I only did it for my own use. I soon realized that others might find it useful so I decided to offer it free to anyone that wants it.
The concept behind Pingback Power is quite simple. It will allow to harvest (extract) all of your pingback URLs and since 80% of them are not getting indexed, you can use these URLs to try and get as many of your pingbacks indexed.
You can read more about why I decided to create Pingback power here and you can get it free at: http://pingbackpower.com

Interesting story. Do you make most of your money through clickbank or do you do a bit of amazon associates type stuff too?
Hi Joe,
I am not into Amazon at all (I will probably start soon) so I make most of my affiliate commissions from Clickbank and from other affiliate programs that are not in Clickbank.
Hey Dave – just found yoru blog – great site with great info! I’m just starting off in this IM world as well, and found your site very informative so far.
I’ll be checking back regularly.
To my success – and yours…
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the great feedback and glad to know you love my blog.
Great to have you here.
Hi Dror,
Great website, you really inspired me. I’ve been an SEO specialist for many years promoting all my clients to Google #1 page but never found the time to do anything for myself. I know how to get ranked, build very good converting pages, setup PPC campaigns and master Long-Tail-Keywords to their max. But! I have no idea how to pick winning products to promote… could you possibly give me a few pointers?

Hi Tal, as far as this blog goes, its pretty easy. I focus on the products I use myself which makes it real easy to find products to promote (or not) and also to actually write the reviews about them.
A more general approach would be to find a target audience first that has a problem and than finding a product that will help solve that specific problem.
Congrats on your success.. So did it take you 2 years to live off your affiliate income? Because i know it takes a very long time to rank a new web page to the top on google. SO again congrats.
Hi Kerry, it actually took me about a year or so to get to an income level that I can say is a full time income.
Thanks
Nice Blog!
Just love the theme and the way you present your content. Its simple, clean and makes you want to take action on every link!! (which is the idea anyway). Just wondering if you have ever considered copy writing as a part time thing. Pay is really good.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Thanks! I didn’t really consider copywriting since I don’t think I will be good at it but who knows… maybe someday
I just found your site and you’ve got my attention. I’m nearing retirement age and have not yet achieved financial goals. I have dabbled in different areas in IM but just always seem to shell out more $$ and NEVER make any. Tired of the scams and information sites that give me some seemingly good info but no return. Any advise or direction to start out with minimal outlay? I am okay with SOMETHING rather than noting right now… thanks for any advise for a quick start.
Hi Bill, If I had to pick something you can start with I would say go with Andre Chaperon Tiny Little Businesses. Not sure if it is open right now so you should check that out.
Hello there… I can really relate to you. My background is in eBay for the past 7 years and I’ve been dabbling with affiliate and Internet Marketing for the past 5 years, but haven’t took any action with piles of saved ebook and bookmarks from the gurus. I’ve finally let go my eBay business as it was sucking every ounce of life and soul out of me and here I am re-visiting all those eBooks and bookmarks again for the past 3 months… but haven’t took any action yet.
I was wondering, can you go over my action plans below and give me some feedback and perhaps some ideas as to how you got started. I currently work part-time which earns me 2k a month, and it’s a struggle for me and my wife and 2 babies, so I wanted to start something that will generate sales (income) right away.
1. Start a blog like this which I will blog about my journey in Internet/Affiliate Marketing. (Write a post everyday) http://www.christian-chords.com/peterhha/
- How often should I write?
2. Sell clickbank product. I was going to purchase optimize press or authority pro and make a squeeze page to collect email list and do email marketing using aweber.
- on email marketing with the list, do I offer one clickbank product or do I offer several? How do I maximize sales with my list without coming off like a used car salesman?
3. Build a niche site (problem site) that offers clickbank product as solution.
Any advise/comments/feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and best of luck to you.
BTW – how much money are making with a blog site like this? (I’m sure everyone is curious… it’s a great motivator for some reason)
Hi Peter,
1. I don’t think the main question is how often you should write. I think you should first find a very unique angle for the blog you want to start. There are many blogs like mine about IM and affiliate marketing and you really need to find a unique angle so that you will be different as that will get you more noticed, bring more visitors and help you make more money in the long run. My initial unique angle was providing honest reviews which was something not many did when I started (actually only one other guy did it that I knew about).
2. I’m in no position to offer any advice about using email lists since I don’t do much with the one I have
. Optimize Press is better than AP in my opinion and you don’t really need to buy a special theme for collecting emails but that is up to you. Usually you should focus your email list on a specific niche and offer several products since that will help you make more money from every subscriber. When it comes to email marketing, I think Andre Chaperon is the best so you might want to check out his Autoresponder Madness course.
3. Think about building a few of these since the chances of success will be higher. You can also build niche sites for AdSense.
I never really shared how much money I make from this blog but I can say that after all that Google threw at me in 2012 (and it is quite a lot) I’m still earning 4 figures a month from this blog (mid range 4 figures) and I hope to get back to where I was when 2012 started but for that I will need to cut back on the travelling and get back into working more.
Hope I helped
Hey Dror,
I read through your page and I noticed you did dropshipping. I have tried it once and got away with $2000 deal, but I feel wary about scams in the market. I would like to know more about your tactics on dropshipping and appreciate you to contact me.
Thank you
Damian
Hey Damian, I haven’t been doing that for a few years now so I can’t really say much about it as i’m sure it changed quite a bit.
