Instagram Affiliate Marketing Complete Guide: How To Make Money Online on Instagram

    Affiliate marketing is a very popular way to start your online business with a relatively low cost. It's very attractive for beginners, as they don't need to create their own product in order to make money online.   Instagram has become the most popular social media platform in the past couple of years, surpassing Facebook in the process.   Therefore, it has also become a very attractive platform for new affiliates to try to make money on. Social media brought tons of opportunities for people to make money online.(1)   Some people even make 6 figures per month on these platforms. If you're here to find out how to take advantage of Instagram in order to build an affiliate marketing business, you're in the right place!   By the end of this article, you will know everything you can do in order to start making money with affiliate marketing on Instagram. Instagram Affiliate Marketing   There are multiple ways to make money as an affiliate on Instagram. In this guide, we will go over all of them so you can decide for yourself what the best option is.   Instagram is the social media platform with the best engagement rate. Why should you care about that? Well, because building a successful affiliate business on a social media platform has many aspects that you need to keep in mind.   One of the most important ones is the engagement rate. If there is no engagement on social media, you will struggle making money. Therefore, Instagram is one of the best platforms to make money on.   If you put your offer in front of the right audience, you will be surprised on how fast your business will grow. On the other hand, if you put a dog training product in front of an audience that is interested in make up products, then ... you know what will happen: nothing.   Another great aspect of Instagram is that there are a lot of influencers in various niches. Nowadays, ads that come up on television don't perform as well as ads on Instagram.   Yes, in this age, an Instagram influencer can sell more products than Leonardo DiCaprio can sell in an ad on TV. If that sounds like "fake news", I urge you to go and look for stats. You will be surprised.(2,3)   More and more companies are seeing the potential of influencer marketing, and therefore pour money into social media advertising. This is a great thing for you and me, as we can jump on this hype train and build our businesses.   How To Find Quality Affiliates On Instagram   Now that you know how powerful Instagram can be when it comes to making money with affiliate marketing, it's time to find out how you can make it work for you.   The biggest challenge when it comes to Instagram is finding good influencers. We all know that there are a ton of people who call themselves "influencers", but they just buy fake followers and likes.(4)   You don't want to spend your hard earned money for promoting a product to an audience of bots. That's why it's important to filter through all the fake influencers and find the ones that will actually drive sales.     #1: Engagement   One of the most important factors to keep in mind when looking for an influencer is the engagement they have on their post.   Some people buy followers, but they don't want to spend money on likes and comments as well. But that's not all: some influencers use less known tactic, such as trading likes and comments.   There are a couple of things to look for here:   - Ratios (whenever you see lots of followers and little to no comments and likes, then the influencer most likely has bought the followers)   - Emojis (if you see that most of the comments use a single emoji, then the comments are most likely fake)   If an influencer has a lot of followers but low engagement, my advice is to stay away from them. Most likely, they will take your money and promote your offer to an audience of fake accounts.   Your objective is to find quality people with real audiences. Look at the variety of comments they have. Do the accounts look real? Do they have various comments? Or do all the comments sound the same?   A good metric to keep in mind is that if an influencer has 10.000 followers, their engagement rate should not be lower than 4%-5%. That sounds very complicated to establish, doesn't it?   A good tool to use is the Money Calculator. It's a free tool that helps you with filtering bad influencers so that you can invest your money wisely.(5,6)   It's very easy to use: you just need to type the influencer's name or username, and the tool will do the rest.   #2: Niche   Another important aspect to keep in mind is the niche you choose. One of the biggest mistakes that new affiliate marketers make is that they choose a niche that is too broad.   They think that they need to put their offer in front of as many people as possible, when in fact they should put the offer in front of the right people. It makes no sense to market to people that are not interested in your products.   A good tactic that successful affiliate marketers use it to go for influencers with a low followers count, that are in very specific niches. For example, you can find a dog training product and connect with a person that is in the dog niche.(7)   In that case, you have a bigger chance of success in stead of promoting your offer to an audience that is interested in all animals, not only in dogs.     #3: Look For Experienced Affiliate Marketers   There are some Instagram influencers who use affiliate marketing as their primary source of income. These people have experience in this business, meaning that they are the people you should connect with.   Also, look for people who have affiliate websites as well. They will be more than likely to understand what you're looking for and give you a good price.(8)   For example, promoting affiliate products via Facebook ads is my primary source of income. But I also have a couple of affiliate blogs that I build for fun.   Look for these kinds of people. You will be surprised on how well you connect with them.   Final Thoughts   Doing affiliate marketing on Instagram can be really profitable. Social media has grown significantly in the past couple of years, providing tons of opportunities to entrepreneurs like you and me.   You will need the right training if you want to make money on social media because it is always changing. You don't want to waste your money on useless stuff and run out of money.   For that matter, I highly recommend investing in the Super Affiliate System. It will show you exactly how to build a profitable affiliate business on any social media platform. Read the full article

100K Blueprint 4.0 Review (2021) | Is Dan Dasilva's Course The Best For Dropshipping?

So you heard about Dan Dasilva's new dropshipping course and you want to know if it's worth investing in?   Well, you're in the right place because in this 100k blueprint 4.0 review, I will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about it. I might also tell you some things that you don't want to know (just joking).   Who is Dan Dasilva?         Dan, like many others make money online guru's, has your tipical rags to riches story. He was poor, then he found a mentor and became rich. The name of the mentor is unknown but it seems that he was also a make money online expert.   Now he has over 130.000 subscribers on YouTube. That tells you a lot.   The guy really knows his stuff and it would be ludacris to say otherwise. Even if you would want to deny that, there are hundreds of student testimonials that would disagree.   This wasn't the first course I bought from Dan Dasilva. When I was first starting out in ecommerce, I purchased one of his courses and had success with it.   So I can say that he is a good teacher.   What is 100K Blueprint?   It's exactly what you imagine. Dan claims that you will be able to take a new eCommerce store from 0 to 100k (obviously in sales. You will still need to spend money on advertising) in 3 months.   The course is released 1 week at a time. And this is a good thing.   It's easy to get overwhelmed and Dan chose to drip feed the modules to his students in such a way that they don't give up and go back to their 9-to-5. Here are some testimonials from succesful students:            100K Blueprint 4.0 Review   This program has been released many times before. As you can probably tell, this is the 4th time that Dan opens the course to new students.   This time it's called "100K Blueprint Masters Edition", and as stated before, Dan claims that you will be able to open a new dropshipping store and take it to 100k in sales in under 3 months.   The main course is divided into 12 weeks in which Dan will hold your hand along the way.   This is what you will get upfront:   - 1 - 12 Week Drip Fed training (proven training followed by over 800+ students)   - 2 - Profit Machine 3.0 software (suppliers and store creator - extremely unique and never seen before)   - 3 - 6 Week PRIVATE Group Coaching Calls   - 4 - TriFunnels Lifetime Access (create funnels directly inside of your eCommerce store to increase your Average order value)   In a nutshell, Dan will help you find a profitable product. Yes. Only one.   And you will open a new store with this 1 product and hopefully make 100k in sales in 12 weeks. At least this is what Dan claims.   This is obviously a huge claim, but if someone can pull it off, that's Dan.   This is how the weeks are structured:   - Week 1- 7-figure Business Model Outline.   - Week 2- Ways to Increase Profits.   - Week 3- Dropshipping Techniques via Facebook.   - Week 4- Utilize Information Gained Through Influencers & Expand Your Reach.   - Week 5- Learn How to Use Linear Funnels.   - Week 6- Achieving $100k Target For Your Business & Automating It.   - Week 7- Build An Efficient Team To Run The Business.   - Week 8- Tap On Unexplored Business Opportunities & Find New Sources.   - Week 9- Post Sale Operations & Additional Activities.   - Week 10- Link Bing With Shopify & Find New Products.   - Week 11- Introduction To Sales Strategies, Subscription Models, and Pricing.   - Week 12- Case Studies & Workshops.   And these are the bonuses that Dan offers:     BONUS #1 - Untouchable Ads Vault   This one consists of like 20 DFY ads that were proven to work. Dan himself used these ads and obviously they are very profitable.   BONUS #2 - Profit Machine   This is a product research tool that helps you find profitable products. I found it very useful   BONUS #3 - Dropshipping Power Hour   You will like this one. It's 10 weeks worth of live coaching calls. This was one of my favorite modules in the course.   BONUS #4 - Mentorship Private Access   Another very valuable one. Direct email access to Dan Dasilva. Make sure you abuse it as much as you can :)   BONUS #5 - Ads Mastery   Case study of profitable Facebook ads. Very useful in my opinion.   BONUS #6 - Email Jedi   You’ll learn how to generate 200% MORE profit from your efforts with 3 simple emails. Who doesn't like email marketing? 100K Blueprint 4.0 Pricing   This course is going to set you back $1997. But that's a drop in a bucket compared to the 100k that you will make after 3 months, right? 😂   No, but honestly, making 100k in under 12 weeks is almost impossible. Don't expect to make that amount of money that quickly.   But if you do what Dan tells you inside of the course, you will make money. 100%.   Kepp in mind that you will also need to spend at least an extra $500-$1000 for ads.   Oh, and there's also a free book. You can get it right here     Is 100K Blueprint 4.0 A Scam?   Nope. Honestly, it'a a lot of work. And making 100K in 12 weeks is very difficult.   But if you work hard and follow the course, there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to make a profit.   In this business, the most important thing is to learn while making a profit, so that you can increase your profits month by month.   100K Blueprint Masters Edition is 100% NOT a scam.   Conclusion   If you're not serious about dropshipping, then don't waste your money. You will be better off buying a couple of beers and watching the match.   The only con that i can think of when talking about the 100K Blueprint 4.0 is the high price tag. It depends on you to make it worth.   As i said before, if you do what Dan teaches inside of the course, 100% you will make money. There's no doubt about it.   But if you buy the course and procrastinate there is no point in doing so.   100K Blueprint 4.0 is definitely one of the best ecommerce courses out there. In my opinion, it's much better and more affordable than Dropship Lifestyle.   Dan is one of the best teachers. It's all on you to take action. Read the full article

12 Minute Affiliate System Review 2021 - Worth it Or Not?

  So, you heard about Devon Brown's new 12 Minute Affiliate System and you want to know if it's worth it or it's just another overhyped affiliate course?   Well my friend, then you're in the right place! In this 12 Minute Affiliate System review, I'm gonna tell you everything you want to know about this program.   I might tell even tell you some things that you don't really want to know. Like the fact that you should drink less beers or get a girlfriend  ( don't get mad, it was just a joke :) )   OK, leaving jokes aside, let's start!   What Is The 12 Minute Affiliate System?   If you visit their website, you will be surprised at how simple they make it seem. It sounds like a get-rich-quick scam.   If i remember correctly it's something like "done for you" system ... all the hard work is already done". Don't quote me on that.   You are supposed to promote products from Clickbank, which you are probably familiar with. It's a huge marketplace for digital products.   So, basically after you purchase the course, you just need to set the system up and wait for the money   If you think it sounds too good to be true, you're right! It is.   But I would recommend you to stay until the end of the review until you jump to conclusions.   Who Is Devon Brown?                   Devon is the creator of the 12 Minute Affiliate System. He is an online entrepreneur and a public speaker.   I can tell you from the start that I really like his personality. I don't know why but he feels very relatable.   Needless to say, he is a legit person and not a "fake guru".   How Does The 12 Minute Affiliate System Work?   - Purchase the course - Set the system up - Wait for the money     OK, let's be serious now. You will need to put the templates in place (the ones Devon provides you with), create your Clickbank account and set up your email autoresponder. Here is a very funny checklist from the course:     As you can see, it's pretty straightforward. Once the entire system is in place, you will need to wait for the traffic and make your first sale in supposedly 12 minutes. Will you make money in 12 minutes?   Probably not. And NOT because the system is bad.   The product that Devon will tell you to promote is "high ticket", which means that it's quite expensive. Therefore, it will be harder to make a sale.   I personally made money after more than 12 minutes (i don't think you will mind to wait a bit longer, right?). In my opinion, it would be better to promote something a bit cheaper, so that you can make more sales. At least in the beginning.   Also, if you were planning to fix all your financial problems in 12 minutes, then you are just not in the right mindset, man. Back when I started my online marketing journey, I had the same mindset. I was also searching for a way to "GET RICH QUICK".   But honestly, it really doesn't matter what course you buy as long as you want to get something without work.   Does the 12 Minute Affiliate System work? Yes. But please don't have this get rich quick mindset, or you will be dissapointed.   Making money takes work. Not only online, but also in the real world. So first, you should have a more "work-driven" mindset, and i promise you that you will succeed in any niche, following any course.   The 12 Minute Affiliate System also has a couple of things that I don't like, which I will cover a bit later.     Now I will cover the steps that you will take from the moment you get access to the course:   1. First, Devon will give you a landing page. After that you will need to choose 1 niche from the following: Personal Development, Health and "Make Money From Home".   2. After that, you will need to set up your email autoresponder (which you need to pay for) to the landing page that you got from the course. Don't worry, they have instructions. Also, if you're too lazy (don't be. Remember what we talked about earlier) , you can pay them to set it up for you. But honestly, it's very easy and you will be done in no time.   3. You will then include some email swipes (they also give you these) in your email autoresponder. These are written by Devon and they are proven to work.   4. Use paid ads (you will pay for these) in order to get traffic to your landing pages.   5. You will earn comissions from the produts that you are promoting inside of those email swipes that Devon gave you. In my opinion, having an email list is the best thing to have online.   And that's it. I mean, if you think about the low price, there's actually a lot of value here. Especially if you're a beginner. What I Don't Like about the 12 Minute Affiliate System   Honestly, if you are just starting out, go ahead and purchase it. It's really not that expensive.   You will be able to make some quick money. But in my opinion, you should learn how to do affiliate marketing without DFY (Done For You) templates and stuff.   Yes, it's faster. Yes, the course is quite cheap.   But the most important thing is to learn and get good at affiliate marketing. In your place, I would go ahead and buy it, but remember: Done for you stuff doesn't teach you anything.   Also, if you're a newbie, you might feel uncomfortable promoting the products that they tell you to promote. Not because they are bad products. But because you don't know how good the products are and you might feel bad about promoting them.   What I Like About the 12 Minute Affiliate System   As I told you in the beginning, I like Devon Brown. He has a very nice personality and provides a ton of value for the price of the course.   I also like the fact that the product is legit. Maybe you feel that I don't really like the product from the way I'm talking about it. I do like it.   Apart from the Done For You stuff, it's a very, very good product for the price that they're asking. It's very good for someone like me, because I have years of experience and I don't need to learn how to build a funnel.   For you it will be good because you will be able to make some money. But in the future, you will need to learn how to build funnels and websites yourself :)   Oh, and I also like the fact that you don't need web hosting or a domain name. Like you found out earlier, the templates are included in the price of the course.     Is the 12 Minute Affiliate System A Scam?   No, it's not. I am just a bit worried that you will buy the course and expect to make millions of dollars in 12 minutes. Because this is how most beginners think online marketing works.   The 12 Minute Affiliate System is 100% legit 12 Minute Affiliate System Price   As I said before, it's quite cheap. They let you "test drive" the course for 14 days for only $9.95.   BUT, after that you will need to pay $47/month, which is ... fair. It's not expensive and it's a fair price in my opinion.   As I said before, if I were a beginner, I would go and purchase the course. With a plan in mind: to make some money in order to save it, so I can buy a better course that teaches me more about affiliate marketing.   12 Minute Affiliate System Money Back Guarantee   The course is a Clickbank product. So it automatically has a 60 day money back guarantee, which is a good thing.   If for some reason you don't like it, you can easily get your money back from Clickbank (I think you will like it. it's not very expensive in my opinion and it provides a lot of value.   Conclusion   If you want to get started in affiliate marketing and you have a tight budget, the 12 Minute Affiliate System is a very good choice. I recomend this product.   Just remember that in the future, you will need to learn how to build your own funnels. Read the full article

Simple Wifi Profits Review (2021) - Just Another Scam?

  It's quite rare that you see a course with such a scammy name like Simple Wifi Profits. This gets even more suspicious when you see another 2 teenagers who claim to be millionaires.   To be honest, I saw this as a red flag, so I did what I usually do in this situation, meaning that I went ahead and bought it so that I can share my opinion with you guys.   If you want to know if this course is the right choice for you, then you're in the right place!   In this Simple Wifi Profits review, I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know in order to decide for yourself if this program is worth investing in. There will be some interesting aspects, which I would advise you to pay attention to and read until the end.   Who Created Simple Wifi Profits?   Chris Eom, a Korean immigrant and Andrew Wright, a college dropout are the creators of this course. They recently gained popularity in the affiliate marketing industry because they became millionaires in a short period of time ( like most gurus ).   They provide their students with group coaching, as well as weekly coaching calls. Which is very useful if you ask me.   If you are a beginner, you will find these calls highly useful.   What is Simple Wifi Profits?   Well, in a nutshell it's a program that teaches you how to promote products in the "health" niche by using paid traffic. It's really nothing out of the ordinary and this has been done before by many gurus.   BUT the way that they teach you to structure your ads in order to get traffic to your offers is kinda new. Well at least I haven't seen it before. I can say that I liked it.   There is also a downside to the method that they teach, which I will reveal later.   Simple Wifi Profits Review   As I said in the beginning, I decided to purchase this course because it seemed very scammy and I wanted to share my opinion with you guys.   The second reason why I made this decision was that i saw many other respectable reviewers give it a thumbs up, and I wanted to see if they are lying.   Let's have a look at what's inside of the course:   Introduction   Chris and Andrew start the course by reassuring you that you made the right decision by offering you a very cool bonus pack.     Also, they tell you about the Facebook group, which I will highly recommend you to join. I can say that I liked the first few videos.   1st Chapter: The World Of Affiliate Marketing   They start the course by outlining the key differences between affiliate marketing and other online business opportunities. I 100% agree with them when saying that affiliate marketing is THE BEST business model and will likely be for many years to come.   If you are a beginner, you will like hearing the pros and cons of affiliate marketing based on Chris and Andrew's experience.   Also, they will introduce you to Clickbank, an affiliate marketplace that you are probably already familiar with.   They will recommend you to promote products in one particular field of the health niche, which we will talk about a bit later. 2nd Chapter: A Museum of a Million Dollar Success     As you probably guessed (duh), they will tell you to promote products in the weight loss niche. Which is ... good.   Weight Loss is a so called evergreen niche, meaning that there will always be people that will want to lose weight, as well as willing to spend money on it.   This is the method that they used to become millionaires. They promoted weight loss products via paid ads.   I was also successful in the past in the weight loss niche. The difference is that I used different methods to drive traffic to my offers.   Chris and Andrew will introduce you to a 4 step system which is pretty straightforward:     - Find a big problem that needs solving online.    - Find a product: a solution to the problem.   - Share the product via affiliate marketing.   - Make sales and money.   Such a complicated system, right? :)   They will teach you how to use Facebook ads in order to get customers to your funnels.    You will have access to all the landing pages needed inside the course.   3rd Chapter: The Invincible Bridge To Profit   Chris and Andrew start this chapter by telling you to to use Clickfunnels in order to set up your landing pages.   I like Clickfunnels because you can easily tell if your funnel is working or not. You will be able to see your conversion rate, therefore you will know if you need to change something in the funnel.   If your funnel is not working, you will be able to insert additional files in the landing page (from inside the course).   I really like this method because you are able to make money quickly, compared to something like SEO.   4th Chapter: Build Your Empire     In this chapter, they will teach you how to build your actual Facebook ads. I told you in the beginning that this method is kinda unique and that I haven't seen it before.   The uniqueness consists in the way the ad is created. It's based on providing VALUE, which quite frankly I haven't seen anywhere else in my 6 years of online marketing. I really like this method and I will continue to use it in the future.   Again, everything you will need to know is thaught inside the course. You will not have any problems in making it work if you follow what they tell you.   5th Chapter: The Invictus SWP Empire Begins     Here, Chris and Andrew get a bit more technical (don't worry, it's not very complicated). They will show you how to split test your ads in order to maximize the conversion rates.   There were some things here that I didn't know. I really liked the texts and images that they provided. 6th Chapter: The Secrets Of Scaling To Mars   This is where the fun begins! I tried these methods and they really work.   I am always curious when I see scaling strategies inside affiliate marketing courses. Sometimes they are just filler in order to make the course longer.   They will teach you how to start your campaigns with like $5-$10 and keep adding more everyday.   So, you will be taught how to properly reinvest your profits in order to accelerate the growth of your business.   I saw some people in the group making over $35.000/day. This was my favorite module from this course.     7th Chapter: Super Affiliate Hacks   This is where you receive your bonuses. In my opinion, they were one of the best bonuses i saw in a course.   Some of them teach you how to improve conversion rates, others how to scale quickly and efficiently.   Also, the support is very good. I liked it.     Simple Wifi Profits Pros   - Very effective methods - You can get very quick results - Chris and Andrew are easy to understand - Easy for beginners - It just works   Simple Wifi Profits Cons   - It works best only with weight loss products - Only Facebook ads are thaught     Is Simple Wifi Profits A Scam?   While the name sounds scammy, Simple Wifi Profits is 100% NOT a scam.   BUT unfortunately they don't tell you some things before you buy it. For example, this method works very well with weight loss products.   If you try to promote other products from other niches, you might not be as profitable. If you are experienced, sure, you will not have problems with that.   But if you are a beginner, you should stick to weight loss products. So keep that in mind.   Conclusion   I liked this course. I think it's the best for promoting weight loss products via Facebook ads.   If you are fine with that niche, then go ahead and get the course. I personally like that niche and had a lot of success in it.   As i said before, this is the best course for promoting weight loss products with FB ads. Read the full article

CB Passive Income 5.0 Review 2021 - Don't Buy Without Knowing THIS!

  So, you want to make some money on Clickbank? In this review, we're gonna take a look at Patric Chan's "new" course, CB Passive Income.   It's not really new. This is just the 5th version of it.   Version 1 of this course was originally released in 2013. Now, we're in 2020 and the course has rarely changed. It's pretti much rebranded.   I'm gonna tell you from the start: this course is NOT a scam, but it's not very effective.   Keep reading if you want to see what I mean.   Who Is Patric Chan?     Patric Chan is the creator of the CB Passive Income course. He also wrote several books and created several courses.   Also, he is an international speaker. He is your typical make money online guru.   Let's see if his latest version of CB Passive Income is worth investing in.   CB Passive Income Review   On the sales page, they advertise it as a "get-rich-quick" revolutionary program that will make all your financial issues go away.   Patric Chan is a very good salesman. He makes it seem very easy by letting you know that he will do all the hard work for you.   He claims that you don't need to:   - write content - give bonuses - create products - write sales letters - sign up for an email autoresponder - send emails - provide value - know what products to promote - learn online marketing   OK. Then WTF do you need to do? This is clearly targeted towards people with no online marketing experience or skills.   Patric Chan tells you that you need to do only 1 thing. After you pay for the course, he basically lets you down and doesn't deliver what he promised.   You will quickly find out that the 1 thing you need to do is to drive traffic to the landing pages that he provides.   This is basically the hardest part of any online business. This is a course targeted towards beginners.   And if you're a beginner, you are not very good at driving traffic.   Oh, and I forgot to tell you. Let's say you manage to drive traffic to the offers.   You know who is the one getting the money? Patric.   This course was made in order to get other people to build Patric's email list.     How does CB Passive Income 5.0 Work?   After you supposedly drive traffic to the landing pages, Patric will collect the emails from the customers and make the sales for you.   After that, you will get the commissions for the sales that Patric made. It sounds too good to be true, right?   Right. It is to good to be true.   If you are an experienced marketer, you know that the email list is the most valuable asset that you can possibly own. Patric Chan knows this.   This is why he structured the course like this. To basically get leads on autopilot.   CB Passive Income 5.0 Upsells   You thought it was over? You were wrong!   Patric will try to sell you more useless stuff in order to make more money for himself and his team. Why?   Because you are in his funnel now. He will sell you more and more expensive stuff.   And you will need to buy them. because if you don't, what you bought until that point is useless.   The first upsell is the CB Passive Income Pro version, which is an additional $97.     The next upsell is a $47/month feature that grants you access to get leads that YOU got. In my opinion, this is very disrespectful.   Why do you need to pay for something that you worked in the first place?   Look, i really have nothing against upsells. That's if they are good.   In the past, I bought upsells from good courses that were actually better than the course itself. CB Passive Income is clearly designed to make Patric as much money as possible.   You probably think that I am too harsh, and you are probably right. I told you in the beginning that the course is NOT a scam. And it isn't.   But Patric conveniently forgot to tell you that you will need to spend a lot of money and a lot of time to make this course work for you.   Of course it's very easy to make beginners think that they don't need to do any work and produce any content in order to make money online. But that doesn't mean you should do it.   Why Are There Good Reviews for CB Passive Income?   Because you get commissions if you recommend this course. It's as easy as that.   And i understand why so many people try to promote it. It's because they bought it and they didn't make any money.   So they want to recover their money by recommending the course to others.   This course is not a scam. But it also doesn't provide any real value.   You can make money by driving traffic to the sales pages and having Patric Chan promoting products to your leads. But will you be able to do this?   As I said before, driving traffic is the hardest part of online marketing. And if you're a beginner, you will struggle with this.   Patric has modules where he teaches you how to run paid ads with Facebook. The thing is that when this course was originally launched in 2013, Facebook ads were very cheap. 7 years later, this is not the case anymore.   Someone with experience would never buy this course. And if you're a beginner, you have many other better options than CB Passive Income.   Conclusion   If you've read the entire post, you probably now know that you shouldn't invest in this course. It's just too outdated and it doesn't contain enough value to justify the price.   Starting an online business is not easy. And if you want to learn how to do that, you need a good course that will teach you how to set everything up propperly.   As I said, if you want something in the same price range, then the 12 Minute Affiliate System is a much better choice.

Dropship Lifestyle Review [2021] - Does Anton Kraly deliver?

You've probably seen that Dropship Lifestyle (DSL) is the #1 dropshipping course according to Shopify. Now that's a huge claim.   Today, we're gonna have a look at whether or not it deserves that title. The high price tag definitely attracts a lot of attention.   If you want to find out if it's worth it, you're in the right place.   Make sure you stay until the end to find out if it's the best option, or if there are better, cheaper alternatives.   Who Is Anton Kraly?     Anton has been working online for the past 8 years, making millions of dollars in his dropshipping business. After he sold his business, he started focusing only on his course, Dropship Lifestyle (DSL).   Whether that's true or not is debatable. More on that later.   He took advantage of all that new found fame and put a high price tag on his course.   Also, he created an affiliate program for the course, which caused it to massively grow in notoriety. It's now clear that DSL is the most recommended dropshipping course on the planet.   Let's find out if it's worth all the hype.   Dropship Lifestyle Review     Why do you see so many positive reviews for this course? Well, it's very simple actually.   There are 2 versions of the course. the first one is the Premium version, which is only ( 😂 )  $2997.   The Ultimate version of the course is $4997. Yes, i'm serious.   Anton also has an affiliate program, which pays 50% commissions. So if an affiliate, like me, were to recommend you to his course, he would get 50% of whatever version of the course you decide to purchase.   This is why you see so many positive reviews. The people recommending it want to get those high commissions, and don't really know whether the course is good or not.   And they don't even care. As long as they get a $2500 commission, why would they, right? :)   Let's have a look at what you get:   What's Inside Dropship Lifestyle?   As mentioned above, there are 2 versions of the course: Premium and Ultimate       Dropship Lifestyle Premium   The premium version is divided into 7 modules. Also, it contains the Dropship Labs which is a collection of checklists, standard operating procedures, as well as templates that you can use to contact product suppliers.   The DS Labs is a great bonus, but in my opinion the price is too high and you can find cheaper options.   The course is good. It covers everything you need to know in order to start your online business. For example selecting your niche, starting your website or getting approved by product suppliers.   Again, it's a good course.   Keep in mind that it's also very long and it is very difficult to finish all the modules in 30 days.   Why? You will in the refund policy section.   Dropship Lifestyle Ultimate   This is a DFY (done for you) system that removes all the hard work associated with building an online business. If you read some of my other reviews, you know what I think about done for you stuff.   All you have to do is pay $4997, and that's it. Anton's team will even build a website for you.   In my opinion, a course is meant to teach you something. Not do it for you.   If you build an online business from the ground up, you get evergreen skills that will stay with you all your life.   If after this review you will decide that you want to invest in Dropship Lifestyle, then be my guest.   But please go with the premium version, so that you can learn how to do everything yourself.     Dropship Lifestyle Pros   - It has useful information - Anton is a good teacher - It has a 30 money back guarantee (although you shouldn't rely on it) - It's a very popular course   Dropship Lifestyle Cons   - the price is just TOO HIGH. - the 30 day money back guarantee is sketchy Dropship Lifestyle Refund Policy   There is a 30 day money back guarantee. Which is a great thing.   Remember when I told you that the course is very long? Well, if you don't manage to finish the course in 30 days, you will not be able to qualify for the money back guarantee.   If you thought there is a catch, you were right.   So if you want to rely on the refund policy, keep in mind that it's almost impossible to finish the course in less than 30 days.   Conclusion     I really tried to be as objective as possible. In my opinion, the price is too high for this course.   Ecommerce is not rocket science, and you don't need to pay such a huge amount of money for a dropshipping course. In my opinion, Anton just took advantage of the course's notoriety and the hype created by his affiliates and put an astronomical price on the course.   Also, the Ultimate version which costs $5k is crippling for beginners. If you are just starting out, YOU NEED to learn skills that will help you in the future.   You are much better off buying something less expensive and invest the rest in your business. With $500-$1000, you can get started with paid ads on Facebook or Google.   If you are such a big fan of Anton and you have so much money that you don't mind spending on a course, then be my guest. You can get DSL right here.   But if you don't have a big budget and decide to pay this amount of money for an ecommerce course, I would recommend you to think twice.  There are far better options out there.   Dropship Lifestyle Alternatives   A better alternative would be the 100K Blueprint from Dan Dasilva. It's cheaper and more in-depth in my opinion.   Also, if you're a beginner, Dan's course is more suitable for you.   In terms of an overall platform where you can find reliable suppliers with good prices, SaleHoo is the best choice.   I recommend you have a look at it. You can save some money which you could invest in your business.   You can read my 100K Blueprint review and decide for yourself if it's a better option than Dropship Lifestyle.

Auto eCom Empire Review (2021) - Is It Legit?

Ecommerce can be a very good way to make money from the comfort of your home. Recently we saw a lot of courses that seem more like an outright scam than a legit training program.   The internet is full of fake gurus that promise the moon and underdeliver. You deserve a round of applause for doing your due diligence and searching for an unbiased opinion regarding this course 👏.   If you want to find out if Auto eCom Empire is worth your money, then you're in the right place.   In this review, we will cover everything you need to know about this program.   Auto eCom Empire Review     When you first land on the sales page, you are greeted with a strange bold claim that promises you will make $10.211/week. This is a huge red flag and my guess is that you decided to look for a review right after you saw this message.   I'm not saying that you can't make this amount of money with dropshipping, but keep in mind that you need a substantial amount of traffic in order to do so. I guess they forgot to tell you that.   Keep reading if you want to find out the pros and cons of Auto eCom Empire.   What Is Auto eCom Empire?   It's an ecommerce platform, kind of like Shopify or SaleHoo, and it also includes a training on how to use it. It's also more automated than those 2, so if you're a beginner, this can be very helpful. The platform is actually very easy to set up and the training is decent.   Related: Kibo Code Review   How does Auto Ecom Empire Work?     Like I told you before, it's actually really easy to set up. In my opinion, this platform is much better than Shopify if you're a beginner.   The downside is that you don't really learn much in terms of creating your own ecommerce store.   OK, so we established that creating you're store is very easy. How about getting traffic and start making sales?   Traffic is the most important aspect of any online business. If you don't have traffic, well ... you don't really have a business, do you?   Like we talked before, the training is decent. But if you ask me, I think it's a little too thin.   I mean, for the price that it costs, it's fine. But it doesn't compare to other premium programs such as the 100K Blueprint.   In that course, you learn how to become an expert in driving traffic to your store. The Facebook traffic section is packed with lessons and I can personally vouch that you can be profitable with the tactics.   But like I said, that course is a premium, more expensive product. This is not the case with Auto eCom empire. Auto eCom Empire Pricing     There are 3 pricing plans, ranging from Silver to Platinum. It all depends what your budget is.   The lowest price plan is $199. If you ask me, this is a very good option when you're just starting out.   But if you are willing to invest more upfront and get more products to your store, the $249 or the $299 options are great.   You get a good bang for your buck in my opinion. These days, it's very difficult to find quality at a low price.   For $199, I think that you get a lot of value.   Auto eCom Empire Money Back Guarantee   This products is hosted on Clickbank, so it's very easy to get your money back if you feel that it's not right for you. There is a 60 day money back guarantee for all the products on Clickbank.   You don't need to worry, as there is no risk involved.   Auto eCom Empire Pros   - Great for beginners - You don't need to install anything else - Affordable Price - 60 day money back guarantee - Decent training   Auto eCom Empire Cons   - Bold claims (don't expect to get rich quick)   Conclusion   If you want to start an ecommerce store and you don't have a big budget, then this course is a great option. I think that if you're a beginner on a tight budget, there are very few better options than this.   But if you are serious about ecommerce and are willing to invest a bit more and set yourself up for success, I would highly reccommend the 100K Blueprint. You can't go wrong with that.   It's definetely a better option that Anton Kraly's Dropship Lifestyle that costs a whopping $2997 for the lowest price plan.   SaleHoo is a better option in my opinion, but in the end, for $199 you get good value from Auto eCom Empire and it's possible to start making money if you stick with it.   It's a decent option.   Related: Is Dropshipping Legal?

Clickbank University 2.0 Review [2021] - Here's What I Really Think ...

  If you want to get started in affiliate marketing, then I would highly recommend you create a Clickbank account. It's probably the best affiliate marketplace out there.   Why? Because you don't have to deal with individual vendors.   You get paid on a weekly basis via wire transfer. It's very easy, really.   If you want to learn more about their very own course, Clickbank University 2.0, you're in the right place. Today, I'm gonna tell you everything there is to know about this course, and by the end of this review you're gonna be able to make an informed decision on whether or not you should invest in it.   Justin Atlan     Justin is an online entrepreneur and a marketing consultant. He runs a consulting company called SJA Media and holds a degree in Economics from San Diego University.   He also has a not so popular YouTube channel with only 3k subscribers. Justin only works with clients that own businesses larger than 6 figures. I guess he is very expensive :)   Adam Horwitz       Adam started online marketing when he was only 17 years old. He saw the huge potential of running an online business when his father took him to a marketing seminar.   He was only 15 years old back then. I wish my father would have done the same. I wouldn't have wasted so many years studying business in and for my master's degree.   Not long after he started his online marketing journey, Adam made $1 million on Clickbank in just 7 days. Now that's a very notable achievement, isn't it?   Clickbank University 2.0 Review   I purchased this course in 2018 when they launched the first version of it. I will tell you from the start that I implemented the strategies that they taught and had success with them.   The CB University 2.0 version is, in my opinion, a lot better than the first one.   I really love Clickbank. They always pay on time and I never had any problems with them.   CB University is a very popular 12 week course that is meant to help you start making commissions with Clickbank products. Also, they aim to help you create your own affiliate product.   It is divided into 2 sections: the first one shows you how to create your own products and become a vendor. The second section is geared towards affiliates.   I think that's great. Creating your own product is not easy, but once it's finished, you get to incentivize other people to make sales for you.   Creating your own affiliate product can literally skyrocket your profits almost right away. I really like this concept.   What Is Clickbank University 2.0?   As I mentioned above, it's a course divided into 2 sections. If you ask me, I think the first section is better than the second one.   It teaches you very powerful strategies that you can use to create your own info product. This business model has an enormous potential to make you A LOT of money.   You will learn step-by-step how to create a quality product. I haven't seen many courses go so in-depth into this strategy.   You will then put your product on Clickbank so that other affiliates can promote it for you. If you ask me, it's one of the best business models out there.   The second section is targeted towards affiliates. In my opinion, this section is ... good.   It teaches you good strategies that are quite effective. However, if I were in your place, I would go through both sections in order to have a better understanding about how things are working.   When you are first starting your business, most of the time you don't make money straight away. 6 years ago when I first started, I had to work a couple of months before I saw my first dollar.   Since then, I've built multiple 6 figure businesses and now I'm just having fun with it. If you follow your objective and don't give up, it's impossible not to make money.   In my opinion, you should take action and apply the information from both sections. You will thank me later.     1st Section: Vendors   As I said before, the first section of the course is entirely based on teaching you how to create your 1st info product. If you are a beginner, this might feel a bit overwhelming.   You just need to relax and take things 1 step at the time. If you don't want to create your own product, that's ok.   You can just focus on the 2nd section of the course. However, I would recommend you to at least take into consideration this business model.   I'm telling you. You can make A LOT of money.   As I told you before, this section is divided into 12 weeks of step-by-step training   This is how everything is structured:   1st Week: How It All Works - Here's where they tell you the big picture and what you should expect for the following 12 weeks   2nd Week: Finding Your Product - In the 2nd week, they will tell you what's profitable on Clickbank. You should this with what you are passionate about (it doesn't need to be your biggest passion. Just something you are a bit interested in). This is how you establish what your product will be.   3rd Week: Creating Your Avatar - This is where you need to find your perfect customer and understand the way they think. This is very important because you need to understand what their problems are.   4th Week: Creating Your Product - In the 4th week, they will teach you step-by-step how to create your product. However, if you have a budget, they also teach you how to outsource everything.   5th Week: Creating The Upsell For Your Product - I liked this module a lot. They teach you how to maximize your profits by offering additional, more expensive products to your customers.   6th Week: Copywriting - This is probably the most important skill in online business. If you learn how to do this, you will make money no matter what   7th Week: Video Sales Letter - This is the week where you learn how to offer real value while lowering your costs. You will really like this one.   8th Week: Finalizing Your Product - This is pretty self-explanatory. You will now have the final product   9th Week: Putting Your Product on Clickbank - Step-by-step training on how to put your product on the Clickbank marketplace.   10th Week: Attracting Affiliates - This is where the real fun begins. Getting affiliates to promote your product for you. I'm telling you. This is very powerful   11th Week: Split-testing - Here is where they teach you how to maximize your profits by testing different funnels   12th Week: Scaling - They will also teach you how to get more traffic in order to make even more money   As you can see, there's a lot of stuff here. I know it's a bit intimidating if you're a beginner.   But if you stick with it, there's no reason why you wouldn't have success.   However, if you don't want to create you're products, that's completely fine. You can just apply what they teach you in the 2nd section     2nd Section: Affiliate Training   This section is kinda complementary to the first one. If you can create a product, you can also promote other products similar to the one that you created.   I really like affiliate marketing. Honestly, dealing with product creation can be a bit overwhelming for a beginner.   If you prefer to focus on this section, I completely understand you. I also like affiliate marketing more than product creation.   This section is divided into 8 weeks:   1st Week: Clickbank Affiliate Marketing As you can imagine, this is the introduction to the training. They tell you what you will learn during the next 8 weeks   2nd Week: Understanding Affiliate Marketing They will teach you the fundamentals of affiliate marketing, as well as show you how to navigate the Clickbank marketplace   3rd Week: Finding Your Passion If you ask me, you don't necessairly need to promote products that are related to your passion. Although it helps   4th Week: Affiliate Funnels This is where they teach you about funnels. Also, they tell you some things about traffic   5th Week: Overdelivering In my opinion, this is the most important thing in this section. If you give more than you get (provide value), you will make A LOT of money no matter what.   6th Week: Copywriting Again, this can single-handedly make you rich. It's the one of the most important skills and it will always be.   7th Week: Email Blueprint Email marketing is very powerful. They will teach you how to run campaigns and automate things.   8th Week: Scaling They will teach you how to scale your business so that you can make as much money as possible.     I love affiliate marketing. They do a good job at teaching it.   However, I think that if you want to learn solely affiliate marketing and you don't care about creating your own info product, there might be better courses (more on that later).   This section didn't feel overwhelming at all. Everything is explained really good. 3rd Section: Traffic   Remember when I told you this course is divided into 2 sections? Well, I kinda lied :)   They have an additional section focused entirely on teaching you how to get traffic.   As you can imagine, traffic is a crucial part of any online business. Even if you have the best offers and provide an insane amount of value, if nobody sees it, well ... you don't make any money :)   In this section, they teach you how to get traffic from Facebook and Instagram. More specifically Facebook paid ads and Instagram "paid influencers" :)   The good part about social media is that you can get very targeted traffic to your funnels.   This section was good. If you learn how to drive traffic from Instagram, this was the best training I've seen for that.   CB University 2.0 Toolkit   There is also a section where you can get templates for everything you need. This is great for people who are not particularly technical.   I liked this section. I've used a lot of the outsourcing and editing material.     Clickbank University Price   OK. There's a lot to unpack here.   First, there is the $47/month front-end offer. After that, there's a website builder that costs $594. If you're a beginner, this website builder is amazing.   However, if you're an advanced marketer, I don't think it's worth it because you can create your landing pages with some other softwares. Again, I feel that for beginners, this website builders will definitely be worth it (if you can afford).   After that, there's another $97 advanced training upsell. If you can afford this, then you should already probably look for some other course, like the 1K A Day course.   CB University 2.0 Pros   - Great for learning how to create an info product - The strategies taught are effective - Very easy to understand - Support is good - Very good training for Clickbank   CB University 2.0 Cons   - Can be overwhelming - Affiliate marketing training is not the best - Upsells   Is Clickbank University a Scam?   No, it's not. It's 100% a legit training.   If you want to create your own info products, this course is absolutely amazing.   BUT if you don't care at all about that and you just want to learn affiliate marketing, there are some better options out there.   Creating your own products can make you huge amounts of money, believe me. This is the best course I saw for this specific thing. Read the full article

Super Affiliate System Pro Review [2021] - Does John Crestani Deliver?

  So, you've probably seen yet another guru flaunting tons of money in front of the camera, right? You want to know if it's possible to make 10k/month with "a few hours of work per week"?   First of all, you deserve a round of applause for taking the time to do your research on the Super Affiliate System course. Many people (incluiding me) fall in the trap of getting rich quick at the beginning of their online journey.   If you're here to find out whether the Super Affiliate System Pro program is worth investing in, then you're in the right place.   So, what's the truth? Is it possible to make tons of money fast?   Well ... yes. But there is a difference between making money fast and making money fast and easy.   If you want to make money fast and easy, then first of all you're in the wrong mindset. I can totally get why you would want this. I wanted the same thing, like any other beginner.   A couple of years ago, when I just graduated college, I really wanted to make money online so I don't need to get a corporate job. But my parents were pushing me to play it safe and find a well-paying job.   It felt awful to stay in a cubicle for 12 hours a day. I vividly remember spending all my free time trying to make money online so I can get out of there.   But the little time that I had wasn't enough to build a legitimate business. After that, I realized that I can fake being sick and get 1 month off of work.   So i decided to spend every waking hour to learn how to run ads to a landing page so that I can get commissions. The problem was that my parents realized what I was doing and they threatend to kick me out of the house.   After a couple of days, I got my first sale and I was the happiest guy in the world. Fast forward to today, I make a full time living online and feel very grateful for that.   In the end, the most important thing is that I proved my parents that I can make it by myself. I can now send them money every month so they can go on vacations wherever they want.   Also, I started this blog in order to help guys who are looking to start making money online, so they don't get scammed by fake gurus.   If you want to know if the Super Affiliate System is for you, then you're in the right place. Let's start with the course creator.   Who Is John Crestani?     If there is such a thing as a make money online guru stereotype, that must be John Crestani. He flaunts is money in front of the camera and makes bold statements about his course.   He says that he can turn anyone into an online business owner without knowing anything about business (keep reading because I will discuss this as well).   John started his affiliate marketing business when he was only 21 years old. Fast forward to today, he makes millions of dollars online and was featured on sites like Forbes and Entrepreneur.com.   OK. You're probably thinking that he is a scammer. I will tell you now that he is not.   He is just flaunting money in front of you because he knows that this is the best way to get your attention.   Let's have a look at what you get once you give him money.   What Is The Super Affiliate System Pro?   This is the 2020 version of his course, which was launched a couple of years ago, in 2015. Since then it's been through a couple of changes.   Finally, now it's called Super Affiliate System Pro. The difference is that John updated the course and now gives you a couple of cool new bonuses (more on that later).   That's a very good thing because for that amount of money, you probably expect up to date material. That's why John updates it nearly every year.   The course's goal is to transform you into a paid traffic expert. It teaches you how to run ads on YouTube, Facebook, Google, solo ads and native advertising.   You are probably scared because you will need a budget in order to run ads. John knows this very well and that's why he teaches you how to start with $5/day.   After you find a profitable ad, he teaches you how to scale it. Also, he provides you with audience templates, so you can target people who are already interested in what you are promoting.   Super Affiliate System Pro Review     The course used to be structured into 6 weeks of training. John updated the course and that's not the case anymore.   There are 14 modules in the course, and they get unlocked based on you finishing them.   So you can't watch the next module unless you finished the previous one. If you ask me, that's great. It forces you to learn everything inside the course so you have a better understanding on how everything works.   Also, there is a ton of other stuff besides the course (more on that later)   These are the core 14 modules:   - Getting Started (this is just an introduction module) - Module 1: Affiliate Networks - Module 2: Sales Funnels and Websites (John provides you his very own sales funnel software - keep reading if you want to know how that is) - Module 3:Solo Ads (email ads) - Module 4: Google Ads - Module 5: Youtube Ads - Module 6: Social Media Ads (other social media networks such as Instagram or Facebook) - Module 7: Finding Effective Ads (this is super important: how to do copywriting, research and other mandatory skills you need to have) - Module 8: Creating Great Ads - Module 9: Analytics and Split-testing (very important for not wasting money) - Module 10: Planning Your Strategy - Module 11: Accelerating Your Outcomes (how to scale properly) - Module 12: Troubleshooting (in case something goes wrong) - Module 13: Scaling Your Business (pretty self-explanatory) - Module 14: Wrap Up and Next Steps I'm not gonna lie, this is one of the best paid ads course I've ever been through. It's literally packed with information.   If you're a beginner, my advice is to not try and run ads on all of these networks. You will get overwhelmed.   Instead, pick one (I would pick YouTube ads if I were you) and master it. After you get comfortable with it, you can jump into another one.   Also, there is A TON more stuff inside. Keep reading if you want to see what else is included.   What Else Is Included In Super Affiliate System?     In my opinion, John gives you a resource that is worth the price of the course alone. I don't know why he does this.   He gives you the exact audience that you can target for various products. These are lists of people that are proven to convert.   So, you can just run ads to these lists in order to take them on a presell page (that he also gives you). Even a baboon could make money with this.   These lists are in various niches, such as "make money online", blood pressure, credit card debt, brain boosting, diet, gambling and anything else you could think of.   Another nice thing is the collection of presell pages. These are basically landing pages that you run your ads to.   They are also in various niches, such as back pain, manifestation, battery reconditioning (i made good money with this one) and a lot more.   He also gives you legal resources. These are legal letters that you can send to Facebook and Google if you violate their policies. These were written by John's lawyers so you can be sure that they work.   Also, you will get recommendations of ad networks that are more "budget-friendly" so that you can maximize your profits. This is a very good resource if you want to save some money in the beginning.   Obviously you will get ad swipes for all these networks, so you literally don't need to have any marketing knowledge before getting this course.   John created a landing page tool that you have access to. So, you will save $97/month that you would have paid for Clickfunnels. Super Affiliate System Bonuses   There are also a couple of other cool bonuses included. I don't know if John will limit the access to them.   If you already own Super Affiliate System, you have access to them already.   - ​BONUS #1: When You Succeed, Your Entry is FREE - Worth $1,997.00 - ​BONUS #2: Free Traffic - Costs $0 to Get Started - Worth $647.00 - ​BONUS #3: $1,245 in Completely FREE Ad Credits - Worth $1,245.00 - ​BONUS #4: Buyer Data for Artificial-Intelligence Ad - Worth $1,997.00 - ​BONUS #5: Make High Ticket Commissions - Worth $1,950.00 - ​BONUS #6: Case Studies of $0 to $50,000 - Worth $747.00 - ​BONUS #7: Extra Login For Spouse/Biz Partner - Worth $997.00 - ​BONUS #8: 1-on-1 Call With John Crestani - Worth $5,000.00   Also, the Facebook group is one of the best I've been part from. There are so many motivational posts inside.   A lot of people have success with this course. Here are some of them:       If you ask questions in the group, they will be answered. I found the community very supportive.   Oh, and there are also weekly group coaching calls with John's team. Those are really nice.   What I Like About Super Affiliate System   It's very extensive when it comes to paid advertising. You will not only learn Facebook ads, but also Google, YouTube and any other kind of ads you can think of.   This is one of the most beginner-friendly courses that I've been part of. Everything is explained step by step, so you don't get overwhelmed.   Of course it's possible to get overwhelmed if you try to apply everything at once. But John will tell you how to go about the course.   Also, you can get almost immediate results. Paid ads are absolutely amazing. You can see right away what works and what doesn't.   You get presell pages and target audiences, which is pure gold   What I Don't Like About Super Affiliate System   It focuses only on paid ads. There is no SEO or other free strategies in this course.   Keep in mind you will need extra money for ads (I recommend you have about $250 extra).   But honestly, if you start making money with paid ads, having a website is something you can do for fun (like me).   Conclusion   Super Affiliate System Pro is one of the best courses that I reviewed on this blog.   You get those target audiences that you can immediately start running ads to. I'm telling you, this is amazing.   I don't know how John managed to include those in the course. If you follow the instructions and apply everything inside of the course, you will make money.   This is a very good course and I would recommend you go ahead and purchase it. You will thank me later. Read the full article

SaleHoo Review (2021) - How Good Is It? You Might Be Surprised ...

  More and more businesses are going online so they can reach more customers with their products. At the time of writing this, the coronavirus pandemic is still going on, so companies are forced to go online in order to sell their stuff.   If you're like me and you have experience in ecommerce, you know that it's a pain in the ass to deal with suppliers and manufacturers. But if you don't, then you're in the right place.   In this Salehoo review, we will dive deep and figure out if this is the platform that you should use, or if there are better options (more on that later).   What Is SaleHoo?     It's a product selling platform. Kinda like Shopify.   It was founded in 2005 (over 15 years ago. wow) in New Zealand. It has over 2.5 million products from over 8.000 suppliers.   SaleHoo gives you a vast rolodex of suppliers and manufacturers, so that you can have an easy life when starting your online business.   It's important to note that SaleHoo doesn't sell any products. They just provide a service, so that you can connect with the people who sell the products.   Also, these suppliers are in a variety of niches, so you don't need to worry about that.   If you're a beginner, then you will quickly find out that they don't just let you hanging.   They have a lot of training materials. Also, the customer support is good and the forum is active and helpful.   You should know that I really like SaleHoo. I'm sure you will as well.   I wish I chose it when I first started doing dropshipping. That would have saved me a ton of time.   I vividly remember wanting to smash my head against the wall because I couldn't understand how to find good suppliers and how to communicate with them.   Fast forward to today, I created and sold multiple successful online stores and affiliate websites. Man, I'm getting old ...   OK. So, Salehoo allows you to easily connect with good suppliers. If you ask me, I get a sense of community when logging in.   Why? Because of the forum. You will really like it.   Why Use SaleHoo?   In short, because of the ease that it provides. As I told you before, I wish I would have used SaleHoo from the start.   You can quickly connect with good suppliers that sell quality products. Also, the forum is very helpful. That's another big thing.   The training is also very good. You will have an edge over your competitor once you go through it.   You can choose between wholesale and dropshiping suppliers. Keep reading if you want to know which ones you should start with.   SaleHoo Dropshipping Suppliers   OK. There are over 1.000 suppliers just for dropshipping. Which is ... good.   If you ask me, that's more than enough. You don't need 17 million suppliers in order to have success in dropshipping.   If you're a beginner, starting with dropshipping might be more appealing, in my opinion. It's more affordable than wholesale, as you don't need to buy bulks of products.   Also, the supplier is responsible for the delivery of the product, so it's more hands off.   The drawback is that you don't really have much control over the stock of the product. I can't tell you how many times suppliers told me that they were out of stock and that I had to wait for 2 months before getting to sell more of that product.   BUT, it's a very good option to start with dropshipping if you don't really have a big budget. Keep in mind that you will also need to run ads to your store. SaleHoo Wholesale Suppliers       If you didn't live under a rock your entire life, you know some of these suppliers. SaleHoo has a huge variety of well-known brands.   I personally had success with wholesalers that I met through Salehoo. Recently, I sold my business for a good profit.   If you follow the training and put in the work, there is no reason why you shouldn't have success as well.   OK. If you're a beginner and want to start with wholesale, you should know that you need a couple of hundreds, or even thousands to start.   There are a lot of advantages when talking about wholesale suppliers. For example, you have more control over the stock of your product. You know for sure when you need to order more merchandise.   Also, you're speaking with famous brands. That's pretty cool, right? :)   The drawback is that you obviously need some more money to start. Unlike dropshipping, wholesale is a bit more expensive upfront.   If you have a bigger budget, wholesale is a great choice. If not, you might want to stick with dropshipping.   This is actually what I did. After I've made some money with dropshipping, I started doing wholesale. It was a really cool switch.   Dashboard   SaleHoo has a really nice dashboard that makes it very easy to navigate through the platform. If you ask me, it's much better than other ecommerce platforms.   You can see what transactions you have made with specific suppliers. Also, you can save the suppliers that you like and want to work more with in the future.   This is great, as you save a lot of time. You don't need to search for them again like crazy.   Market Research   You probably know that in any business, not only online, competition kinda dictates how well you're gonna do. That's why SaleHoo has an integrated tool that helps you find products with low competition. In my opinion, that's great.   This tool uses real data in order to tell you which products to choose. You can and should use this tool in order to stand out from all your competitors.   If your competitors don't use SaleHoo, you will have a huge advantage over them as you will be able to see very detailed monthly sales reports.   Support & Training   As you found out earlier in the article, the support is great. I can't stress enough how important this is for a beginner. They have a live chat that you can easily contact.   If you want, you can also ask them to help you find low-competition products. I never saw this on any other platform.   Also, having a helpful community to ask questions to is amazing. The training they provide is very good. It's full of detailed guides that take you step-by-step in this process.   SaleHoo Pros   - big variety of suppliers - amazing support - good training - money back guarantee - market research - great forum   SaleHoo Cons   - can be a bit overwhelming for beginners   SaleHoo Pricing       Without any additional hidden charges, SaleHoo costs $67/year. If you ask me, that's a very fair price.   If you don't like recurring costs (like me), you can go for the $127 lifetime access option.   Also, there's a 60 day money back guarantee if for some reason you decide that ecommerce is not for you.   In your place, I would really take advantage of those 60 days in order to find out whether this business model is for me or not. It's very easy to get overwhelmed if you're a beginner.   Conclusion   I really hope you enjoyed my review. SaleHoo is a great platform if you want to start an online business.   It provides you with everything you need to get started, at a low price. As I mentioned above, I regret that I didn't use it when I first started my ecommerce journey. Read the full article

Affilorama Review: Evergreen Or Irrelevant?

  Is there such a thing as a good affiliate marketing course? Or is everyone out there trying to get you to buy their course?   I wish I asked these types of questions when I first started out in my online journey...   In stead, I got scammed by many gurus (because I'm not very smart). After I got my (useless) business degree from college, I wanted to make money online so I don't need to go and get a job in a corporation.   Why? Because I hated it. The problem was that my parents were pushing me to play it safe and get a good job because after all, I had a business degree, right? I really wanted to show my parents that I can make money by myself...   You most probably know how it feels to sit in a cubicle for 12 hours a day making someone else rich. It feels awful ...   All my free time was spent trying to make money online so I can get out of the cubicle. But I didn't have enough time to do that ...   So I decided to to fake being sick and get one month off of work. Then I started to work those 12 hours a day for myself.   The problem was that my parents thaught I was stupid and they threatened to kick me out of the house. But after some time (and some money spent) I got 1 sale. It was with a Facebook ad that I got lucky with. It was one of the happiest moments of my life.   It was one of the happiest moments of my life. Fast forward to today, I make a full time income with affiliate marketing and ecommerce. But the most important thing is that I showed my parents that I was right. And not I can buy them nice stuff and make them happy.   In the end, this is what truly matters. To make your family happy.   Also, I made this blog more as a hobby and to help people with online business advice, so that they don't get tricked into buying useless courses and follow bad advice.   So if you're here for a review of Affilorama, you're in the right place.   What Is Affilorama?   It's one of the most well-known affiliate marketing courses in the online business space. It was created back in 2005 (more than 15 years ago. wow...) by Mark Ling, a very famous affiliate marketing expert.   Affilorama is more like an affiliate marketing platform than a course. Why?   Because it has a community of more than 300k people. Also, it has a collection of long articles and videos regarding affiliate marketing.   In theory, you can earn more than $100k/year from affiliate commissions if you follow the course. Keep reading if you want to know how things are in practice.   Affilorama's Packages   They offer different packages for different levels of experience. They have a free package which is targeted more towards beginners, as well as multiple paid packages for more intermediate and advanced marketers.   If you ask me, the free membership is one of the best trainings I've ever seen for free. It really contains A LOT of value that you don't have to pay for.   If you don't know anything about affiliate marketing, I would highly recommend signing up. You really have a lot to win and nothing to lose.   Let's have a look at what the free package includes:   - Roadmap to Success: this is kinda like a blueprint of how your affiliate marketing business should look like. If you ever feel overwhelmed or confused, this is a great resource to have. I like it because it is very easy to understand because of the way it was made. It's kind of like ... a roadmap :)   - Video Lessons: this is pretty self explanatory. There are over 120 lessons at the time of this writing, all of them explaining the right way to build your affiliate business. You will like these.   - Affiliate Marketing Quick Start Guide: This guide lays out all the problems and obstacles you will have (believe me, there are a couple of obstacles) in your affiliate marketing business. You will learn how to avoid some of them, as well as how to overcome the ones that are unavoidable. This is one of my favorite resources in the course. At the time of this writing, there are more than 20 hours of video lessons inside the free membership plan of Affilorama. At first glance, this sounds absolutely amazing.   Who wouldn't want 20 hours of free content? Well, there are a couple of problems with this (keep reading to see what I mean).       Affilorama Premium   The Premium package is the most expensive plan they have. You can start your 30 day trial for only $1.   After that, it costs $67/month. If for some reason you don't like the course, there is a 60 day money back guarantee, so you don't need to worry about that.     The fact that you get a 60 day money back guarantee is really cool. Why?   Because you have more than 2 months to go through the training and apply the information, so that you have all the information you need in order to decide if this course is for you.   It's understandable if you don't want to invest right off the bat, so I highly recommend signing up for the free plan first. You will learn quite a bit about affiliate marketing for the whopping price of $0!   Keep in mind that the Premium package offers a lot more information and evergreen tactics used by experienced marketers. Some of the things included here are:   - Affilotools (keep reading if you wanna know what these are) - Monthly subscription to the Affilorama affiliate marketing magazine (this is a very cool resource. I personally read it every month because I always get golden nuggets out of it, which I later apply in my businesses) - Interviews with the best affiliate marketers in the world (you will like this) - Hosting for up to 15 domains - High quality affiliate marketing articles every month   Allthough on paper it seems that you get a lot, there are some drawbacks of Affilorama (keep reading if you want to know what these are)   Affilotools This is a great package of tools that help your SEO. You will be able to purchase this by itself if you don't want to invest in the entire Premium package.   However, I highly recommend trying it out.   Affilotools is a very useful addition to your website if you are an experienced marketer and SEO. If you are new to this online game and don't really know what you're doing, you might want to stay away from Affilotools because it can actually harm your website more than you help it.   Here are some of the things included in Affilotools:   - Rank tracking for every keyword - Rank tracking for every country - Clickbank earnings - No. of indexed posts - Useful information about your competitors     As you can see, there are 4 options in regards to Affilotools. These range from "Basic" to "Gold".   The differences between the plans are basically how many keywords you are allowed to track, how many websites and so on. If you're a beginner with only 1 website, the Free plan will be just fine.   However, once you start getting more experienced, you will need to upgrade. AffiloJetpack   OK. This costs $997 and Mark Ling states that if you follow his instructions to the T, you will make a huge amount of money on "autopilot". This is quite the claim ...   But what guarantee do you have if you pay so much money for this tool? Well, you actually have 2 guarantees for this one:   First, there is a 60 day money back guarantee (like you found out earlier). Secondly, Mark Ling will give you an extra $100 on top of the $997 if you follow the instructions and don't make money.   That sounds really cool if you ask me. Mark Ling is a very well-known marketer and he wouldn't make such promises if he couldn't deliver.   Why? Because he has a very good image in the online space and wouldn't destroy it for some extra money in his bank account. After all, he is a multi-millionaire.   Let's have a look at what you get if you decide to go with the AffiloJetpack.   - Very well written emails - Templates for content creation (I use these for some of my websites. They are really cool because they allow you to create content very fast and efficient) - AffiloTheme and web hosting for 1 year - Guides on how to increase your email opt-ins   There are a lot more things that you get, but these are, in my opinion, the most important ones.   Mark Ling says that you can create a profitable business in 6 days if you use this product. Obviously this is just a marketing tactic.   If you want to create a profitable business online or offline, you need to put in A LOT of work. Don't think that you can just buy a course and all your financial problems will go away.   If it were that easy, nobody would have a 9 to 5.   With Jetpack, you will also get access to these tools in more than 15 profitable niches. So, you will have a higher chance of making good money.   Another thing that Mark Ling claims is that you can make more than $20.000 in only 1 day if you follow the process. Let's have a look at what this process is.   - People come to your site - You offer them a free cheat-sheet or something similar (this is called a lead magnet) - They take that free thing that you offered them and they give you their email in exchange. After that, you send them a couple of emails. - You provide value in those emails, so the people will trust you more. - You easily start to recommend affiliate products (the way you do it is very important. They need to feel that you are not just being taken advantage of) - They continue to receive your emails and you slowly start to make commissions - You can then quit your job   This process is more or less affiliate marketing in a nutshell. The information is good but the way Ling presents it is like you don't need to put effort.   Believe me, you need to put effort. It's not that easy. AffiloJetpack contains good information, but don't expect it to be the end of your financial problems. AffiloBlueprint   This is basically a blueprint for creating affiliate websites (kind of like mine). For the price that it costs, it's pretty good.   You can learn useful tips here. You should try it out to see if it's right for you. If you plan on creating affiliate websites, I recommend you go ahead and purchase it.     There is also a 60 day money back guarantee (like all the products you learned about earlier). You get access to a never-ending series of videos that show you how to create a profitable affiliate site from the ground up.   The most important thing in the Affiloblueprint is the section where they teach you how to write quality content. I really liked that one.   Mark Ling gives you homeworks after every lesson in order to keep you focused and motivated. I really like this approach, as you will find it quite difficult to be consistent if you never created a website before.   Here are a couple of things that you will get with the AffiloBlueprint:   - Choose a profitable niche that you can make as much money as possible in. You will learn how to properly do your research. - Customize your site so it looks appealing - Optimize your website for the maximum amount of sales - Learn how to bring as much visitors as possible   You will also get access to a Wordpress theme that used to cost like $100. It is a very good theme for search engine optimization and will help you improve your Google rankings.   In my opinion, AffiloBlueprint is one of the best products they offer. What I Like About Affilorama   First of all, you should really sign up for the Free plan. It costs you nothing and you can really learn some useful things about affiliate marketing if you're a beginner.   It's really easy to understand and to apply the information. Without spending any money, you can learn some basic but solid information such as:   - How to build a profitable affiliate website - How to create content - How to improve your SEO - How to do proper research   However if you're not a beginner, I recommend trying the Premium package. Why?   Because you will probably learn nothing new in the Free plan. If you already have some experience in the online space, you can get far more out of the Premium membership.   You probably know that YOU NEED to invest some money if you want to grow your business properly. The Affilorama Premium package will give you a head start in doing so.   I like affiliate websites and SEO myself. If you're serious about this, the Premium package is for you.   I'm telling you, there is A LOT of information there. You can get it for 30 days for $1 to see for yourself.   If you apply what Mark Ling is teaching you, you will make your money back more 10 times in less than a couple of months. For $67/month, I really think it's worth it.   What I don't like about Affilorama   The only thing I don't like is that they didn't take out the outdated material. I mean, why wouldn't you do this?   You already know that you can't do some of those things anymore. I mean, the course is great and if you apply what they teach you, you will make money.   But there is a lot of content that would now be seen as "fluff". Sometimes I feel that I'm wasting my time when going through the course.   So, Mark Ling, if you're reading this, please remove the outdated material. Thanks.   Is Affilorama Worth It?   Yes. If you follow the training and most importantly APPLY the information, Affilorama is still one of the best programs in regards to affiliate marketing with SEO.   I recommend you to take your time when going through the course. Don't rush, as you will possibly make mistakes.   The $67/month plan is the best for people who are serious about building an online business. If you take action and apply the information, this price will seem like a bargain.   After you start seeing success, the Affiloblueprint and Jetpack are a great addition. You can really take your business to the next level. Read the full article

Commission Hero Review (2021) - Don't Waste Your Money ...

  Can you still make money with Facebook ads? This is the question I also asked nearly 7 years ago when I started my online journey.   After graduating college, I knew it was possible to make money online in stead of getting a real job. I hated the idea of wasting my life in a corporation that doesn't care about me.   The problem was that my mom and dad were trying to force me to do exactly that. Obviously they were worried that I will end up being a loser ...   I really wanted to prove them wrong. The thought of making money by myself from my laptop was like a fairytale.   Obviously I've failed in the beginning and I had to sell out and get a corporate job ... My dream of becoming financially independent was slowly dying.   I realized that IT IS possible to make money online. I knew I will not give up this time.   So I lied to my boss telling him I was sick (lol). I then started working 12 hours a day on average trying to make money online.   My parents also threatened to kick me out of the house if I don't start acting like an adult ... But nothing could stop me.   After some money spent and hard work, I made a sale! It was with a Facebook ad. I was so happy. You can't imagine how thankful I felt.   After that, I got another sale. And another one.   In the end, I quit my job and decided to never go back. But you know what the most important thing was?   I proved my parents that I was right. Since then, I was able to buy them more and more nice things and to make them happy. That's what really matters ...   Oh and I forgot to tell you. I got scammed by many gurus with their "get rich quick" courses. Why? Because I'm not very smart.   So I created this blog in order to help people with tips about affiliate marketing and ecommerce. Or just online business in general.   So, if you're here for a review of Commission Hero, you're in the right place.   What Is Commission Hero?     It's an affiliate marketing course created by Robby Blanchard, then #1 Clickbank affiliate in the world. Robby created this course with the aim of helping his students reach $1000/day in profit.   Now that's a huge claim. Is it possible to make that amount of money simply by applying the information in the course? Keep reading if you want to know the answer to that.   Robby teaches exactly what he's doing himself. Promoting Clickbank products with Facebook ads. Now, Facebook ads were much cheaper when I started my online journey in 2013. But it's still a very viable business model (I know because I'm doing Facebook ads myself). If you decide to invest in the course, you will hear the phrase "3-step-system" A LOT.   So what is this 3 step system?   Robby Blanchard 3-Step System   - Find an offer: this is a crucial step because if you promote an offer that just doesn't convert, you can lose A LOT of money. In the course, Robby teaches you how to do proper research and how to find the best offers to promote - Create a landing page: Robby shows you how to create a landing page that will entice people to purchase the products that you're promoting. If you don't have a high-converting landing page, then ... good luck :). Don't worry, he will teach you  how to create one, but also give you his own templates that you can modify or just plug in. I found Robby's templates very profitable. - Run Facebook ads: Here is where the fun begins. Robby teaches you his very own process of running Facebook ads. You will learn how to persuade people to click on your ads, as well as how to convince them to buy. I'm not gonna lie, this is the best Facebook ads training that I've been through.   What's Inside Commission Hero?   The Commission Hero dashboard is pretty intuitive. And by that I mean that you will quickly understand how to navigate it and where to click.   Let's have a look at what you get once you decide to invest in the course.   Module 1 - Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing   The first video that you will see is a "must watch" if you was me. Why?   Because it's really helpful, especially for beginners. I found it very motivating, as well as very helpful in terms of expectations.   Some people think this is just a get rich quick scheme, which is not. You don't just buy the program and make instant money.   You actually need to put in the work (bummer).   Getting Started   This is where Robby tells you what you need to set up in order to have an easier time afterwards. You will need to set up a couple of accounts, so you can start running ads and making sales.   You will need to get a landing page builder, such as Clickfunnels (it's not mandatory to use Clickfunnels. You can use whatever funnel builder you want. For example, I use Kartra and Groovefunnels, but it's your choice).   You will also need to set up your Facebook ad accounts. Yes, you will need more than one (keep reading if you want to know why).   Finally, you will need to create your Clickbank and MaxWeb accounts (it's up to you. For example, I only use Clickbank).   Choosing The Right Offers to promote as an Affiliate   Now, you really need to pay attention to this one. As you found out earlier, this section is crucial.   Robby will teach you what offers to promote in order to make the most money. He goes into great detail in order to make you understand exactly what to do.   This section was very useful for me. Since I took this course, my business really went to the next level. Finding Your Facebook Ad Image   This is also very important. You need to choose an image which will create curiosity among your audience. Facebook recently become more and more strict, so you should really pay attention to these lessons.   If you have a good image on your ad, you can make A LOT of money. Why?   Because more people will click on it, so your conversions will be higher. Robby does a very good job at explaining what is a good image and what isn't.   Also, he will teach you how to find a good designer who will create amazing images.   Setting Up A Landing Page   You probably realize how important it is to set up your landing page the right way. When I first started creating landing pages, I didn't really know what the right way was.   So I kept going back and changing stuff. Robby will teach you how to set it up properly the first time.   This is very important as it will save you a lot of time and money.   Robby teaches you how to use Clickfunnels for your landing pages. As you found out earlier, this is NOT mandatory. You can use whatever funnel builder you like.   Module 2 - Facebook Ads Setup   Here is where the magic happens. Robby will teach you the exact tactics he used in order to become the number 1 Clickbank affiliate in the world.   I'm gonna be honest and tell you this is the best Facebook ads course that I ever saw. It really doesn't leave anything out. Robby teaches you from A-Z how to run profitable ads.   Here are just a couple of things that you will learn inside this module:   - Setting up your business manager - Setting up your first campaign - Setting up your ads - Setting up your custom audiences - Installing your Facebook pixel - Analyzing your analytics   And a lot more.   Module 3 - Tracking & Scaling Your Results   Nobody ever created a successful online business without proper tracking. In this section, Robby will teach you how to track and scale your campaigns.   He will tell you to use Clickmagick (again, you don't need to use this one. If you want, you can use any link tracking software).   Let's talk a little bit about scaling. If you spend $100 and get back $150, then you got $50 in profits. Isn't it logical to spend $1000 on the same campaign and get $1500?   Yes, it is. But if you don't know how to do it properly, you will lose money.   That's why Robby will tell you how to safely scale your campaigns, so that you make as much money as possible.   This section was highly useful for me, as I had problems with scaling my campaigns. You will really appreciate these videos.   Module 4 - Resources & Tools   This section contains done for you stuff such as like landing pages, copywriting templates, ad images (we talked about them earlier).   Also, Robby has some mindset videos that will be highly useful for you, especially if you're a beginner.   I don't usually like mindset stuff because I find it mostly disingenuous. But Robby does a really good job at this.   You can (and should) take these templates and plug them into your campaigns. I would rccommend editing them a little bit.   In my experience, the people who copy everything word for word are rarely successful. Try to think outside the box a little bit.   If you follow Robby's tactics, you will make money. It's on you to take action.   Module 5 - Additional Training   This is one of my favorite modules in the entire course. To be honest, Robby didn't really have to include these extra training.   For beginners, it might seem a bit overwhelming. My advice is to first apply what is inside the first 4 modules.   After you start making some money, you can dive into these extra resources. The most important video in this section is the email marketing one.   Everybody knows that "the money is in the list". BUT if you're running paid ads (like Robby teaches you), your 1st day conversions will not be as good.   In my experience, collecting emails decreases your conversions BUT you will be able to make more money in the long run.   It's your decision. If I were you, I will first figure out how to have good conversions. After that, you can experiment with email marketing.   Let's have a look at what's included in this section:   - Ninja Tactics: Robby will teach you how to deal with your account being shut down by Facebook, how to reach out to vendors to get better commission rates or how to spy on successful ads. - Snapchat Training: This is pretty self explanatory. Robby will teach you how to run Snapchat ads. I personally didn't try this but some people in the group have quite a bit of success with them. It's worth looking into it. - Email Marketing: As you found out earlier, this is a great addition to the training. Email marketing is a great way to make more money in the long run and increasing your customer value. If I were you, I will definitely pay attention to this one.   What I Like About Commission Hero   Robby does a great job teaching the tactics that made him the best Clickbank affiliate in the world. He is one of the best online marketing teachers I've ever seen. The system REALLY works.   There are literally hundreds of people in the group posting their success stories (more on that later). Speaking of which, the Facebook group is one of the best I've been part of.   You can post any question and someone will answer it in a matter of minutes. The community aspect of the course is great. There is also a live training section which you can attend and ask questions.   If you take action, don't give up and follow Robby's instructions, you will make money. What I don't Like About Commission Hero   The price is quite high ($997) and it will not be affordable to everyone. Also, you need some extra money for ads.   Robby says you can have an ads budget of $20/day and you can still succeed. My recommendation is to have at least an extra $500 in order to make sure you don't run out of money.   Sometimes you get your account shut down. Don't worry too much about it as Robby teaches you how to get it back.   This is a problem that even the people who make $5000/day in profit have. Again, it's not such a big deal.   What Other People Are Saying About Commission Hero   As you found out earlier, there are A LOT of people inside the Facebook group who are having massive results with the course. There are literally thousands of photos with people's dashboards.   Here are a couple of them:         There are A LOT more photos in the group. Keep in mind that these people took action.   It's really important to understand that this course is not a silver bullet and you will need to implement Robby's tactics in order to have success.   Implementation is hard work. If you think that you will make easy money, you're in the wrong mindset. Conclusion   Commission hero is the best paid ads course that I reviewed on this blog. It really taches you everything you need to know about how to be profitable with Facebook ads.   If you're in the right mindset and ready to work, this course is one of the best options for your. Many people fail because they expect it to be easy.   If it was easy, nobody would have a 9 to 5. Robby's tactics work and you can really make a life-changing income.   It's up to you to take action.

10+ Affiliate Programs That Pay Daily (2021)

    As you probably already know, affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online. But which affiliate programs pay you every day?   Stay tuned because you are in the right place. In this article, we will go over the best programs to promote in 2020.   When I first started, nearly 7 years ago, it was very different than it is today.   You could say that the online space was kind of like the wild west. It was very easy to get scammed by dishonest people who were looking to make a quick buck.   Nowadays, it's very different. People are more careful where they put their credit cards.   Back when I first started working online, there were A LOT of affiliate programs. Kind of like it's right now.   But there wasn't really any information on what the best programs to promote are. I remember wanting to get paid every day, and not wait for weeks or even months before getting my hard earned money.   That's why I decided to write this article in order to help people who were in the same situation that I was in.   I will start by telling you that the affiliate programs that pay you daily are very difficult to find. Why?   Because if the customer wants a refund, the company will lose money.   So ... there are not a lot of them out there.   However, I compiled a list with the ones that I personally tried. So you can just relax because I did the work for you.   1. CPA Lead     CPA Lead is a very cool affiliate network with a bunch of nice offers. Not only that, but it's also a CPA network, as it says in the name.   I found some of the products to be quite interesting. Note that not all the products offer daily payouts, but there are plenty that do.   If you search for nice offers and want to get paid daily, CPA Lead is worth a try. Even if it's not the most popular affiliate network.   Have a look at CPA Lead   2. PayKickStart     You probably heard of this one. It's probably the best network for people who run online businesses in more than 1 niche (such as myself).   If you have a hard time finding products or offers to promote, than PayKickStart could be a very good option for you. They have a ton of products in different niches that you can choose from.   You just need to pick an offer that you like and send some traffic to your funnel or website. In the past, the offers from PayKickStart worked very well for me, as I found them to be extremely profitable.   You might want to give it a try if you want to find cool offers in niches with less competition. As in the case of CPA Lead, PayKickStart don't pay you every day for EVERY offer, but you can find products that allow you to receive commissions on a daily basis.   Have a look at PayKickStart Related: Education Affiliate Programs 3. Mobidea     Mobidea is one of my favorite affiliate networks that allows you to get commissions on a daily basis. Again, like in the case of most of the networks on this list, they don't offer such service for all their products.   The good thing is that it's quite easy to find products that pay you daily via PayPal. Most of these products are quite good and I found them to be profitable.   You can build a nice-looking sales page and send traffic via paid ads. This method worked very well for me in the past with Mobidea products.   Have a look at Mobidea   4. Dr. Cash     You've probably never heard of this one. The products that you can find on Dr. Cas are mostly in the health nice.   Also, if you're looking for networks that pay you on a daily basis (duh, that's why you're here), then this is probably the best option.   Why? Because you don't only get paid once per day, but twice! That's right.   Dr. Cash pays out commissions every morning and evening. As you can probably tell, I really like this one.   Also, the fact that it has a lot of products in the health niche is great because we all know that health is the most profitable niche in online marketing.   Have a look at Dr. Cash   5. Warrior Plus     If you've been in the online marketing space for any amount of time, you've probably heard of Warrior Plus. They have a variety of digital products.   Most of them are in the make money online niche, and they tend to convert quite good. Still to this day, I promote products from Warrior+.   This is just a theory of mine, but I think the products convert well because the people who buy them know about this network. Warrior Plus is one of the most trusted names in the online marketing space along Clickbank and JVZoo, which I'm gonna talk about later.   You can get paid via PayPal on a daily basis, but not for every product, like in the case of most of the networks on this list.   Have a look at Warrior+   6. Peerfly     What I like most about Peerfly is the very nice tracking system, that offers you information about your clicks, conversions and so on.   You probably don't know this network, but I recommend you take a look at it. They have a ton of digital products. Some of them pay out daily commissions as well.   Also, a very cool thing about Peerfly is that you can promote very big brands such as Uber. So you don't really need to convince someone to buy some sketchy product.   The downside is that if you want to get paid on a daily basis, you need to pay a fee of 24%. That's not very convenient if you think about it.   Maybe not the best network on the list, but definitely worth checking out because of the amount of well known companies.   Have a look at Peerfly   7. AdCrax Affiliates     This is a very special network because it has products from only one niche, which is the mobile market.   They have offers regarding mobile apps, games and so on. It's worth checking out because the niche is not that competitive. At least in my opinion.   So if you're into mobile stuff, then this could be a very good option for you. There's not that many people who do this.   Also, you can choose the option of getting paid on a daily basis, which is always nice. Oh, and their website looks very cool as well.   Have a look at AdCrax Affiliates   8. Terra Leads     Quite similar to Dr. Cash, Terra Leads comprises a big variety of products in the health niche. Also, they have a lot of high converting products regarding fitness and nutrition.   This is a great option if you like writing content about fitness, as you will have quite an easy time finding helpful products. They make all of their products themselves, so you can trust the quality.   The only negative I see is that the fitness niche is packed with people. You might have a hard time competing against some of the big guys out there.   But I know for sure that if you stay consistent, in the end you will be the big guy. That's just how it works in online business, and in any business for that matter.   Just pump out quality content and you will be fine.   Have a look at Terra Leads   9. JVZoo     Along Clickbank and Warrior+, JVZoo is the most popular affiliate marketing network on the planet. They have a lot of digital products in the make money online niche and they do a lot of digital product launches.   I used to make very nice commissions with these launches when I first started my online journey. It's probably one of the best ways to start.   Last time I checked, JVZoo had tremendously increased the number of the products on the platform. Now they have digital products in virtually ANY NICHE.   If you ask me, the best thing about JVZoo is that they pay on a daily basis. That's why some people prefer it in stead of Clickbank.   Have a look at JVZoo   10. Rapid Action Profits   This network is one of the least popular ones on this list. It's also the smallest one, and yet it could be one of the best.   Why? Because it pays instant commissions to the affiliates.   The product selection is not that big, as you can probably imagine. But if you are interested in the marketing niche, than you should be good.   The price of the products is $197, so if you make a sale, you can get a really nice payout.   The downside however is that it's quite an old product. If you are a beginner in online marketing you probably don't know what the problem here is.   Typically, the older the product is, the more difficult is to make sales.   You might want to give it a shot. There's really nothing to lose.   Have a look at Rapid Action Profits   11. Clickmagick     This is a tool that helps marketers track their campaigns and see how effective they are. Personally, I really like it and I use it myself for more than 2 years with no intention of stopping.   If you're into online business, then Clickmagick is one of the best products that you can promote. You don't really need to convince anyone how important it is to track their clicks.   In online marketing, if you don't track stuff, it's very difficult to make a profit.   Also, Clickmagick is a recurring product, which means that if you refer someone, you get paid every time they renew their subscription. That's one of the best types of products.   As you can imagine, Clickmagick also pays out commissions on a daily basis.   You might want to give it a try. There are very few products better than this.   Have a look at Clickmagick   Conclusion   I really hope that you got something out of this article. Getting paid on a daily basis is as good as it sounds.   Just seeing those PayPal notifications while you're at home almost gives me chills. There's nothing like making money online.   Keep in mind that all these networks could change their payment methods anytime they want, so please shoot me an email if you see that.   If you're a beginner in online marketing, I would recommend you also look into other types of opportunities.   Sure, getting paid daily sounds very cool, but don't get too hung up with it. It's much more sustainable to think more long term.   If you ask me, the best advice that I can give you is to produce quality content. If you do this, then money will keep coming.   Maybe you will not receive it every day, but you'll sure as hell receive it.   When I started promoting products that pay me at the end of the month, I realized that in the end I was making more money. Why? Because I stopped spamming my affiliate link everywhere I could. That's the stupidest way to try and make money.   If you're a beginner entrepreneur and want to learn more about online business, I highly recommend checking out SAS.   It will teach you everything you need to know about building a profitable affiliate business Read the full article

1K A Day Fast Track Review: Does Merlin Holmes Deliver?

  So, you heard about the new 1K A Day Fast Track program, right? You are probably wondering if it's a scam or not.   Well, I can promise you that you are in the right place and by the end of this review, you will be able to make an informed decision on whether or not you should invest in it.   I will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about this program. I might even tell you a couple of things that you don't want to know. Like the fact that you should lose a couple of pounds and get a girlfriend ( just joking )   Who Is Merlin Holmes?                     Merlin is a multi-millionaire based in Colorado. He's been building online businesses for the past 15 years, generating over $150 million in revenue.   Also, he worked as a business consultant for billion dollar multinational corporations, so it's safe to say that he knows his stuff. Merlin doesn't like when people call him a "guru" because this is not his main occupation.   He emphasizes the fact that his main "job" is working at his multi-million dollar business, and that teaching people how to make money online is more like a side-hustle.     What Is The 1K A Day Fast Track?   In a nutshell, it's an affiliate marketing course that is divided into 6 weeks of training. The main objective of the course is to build an email list from a website with 2 pages. Yes, you heard right.   One of the pages from the website will contain a questionnaire with simple questions and answers. I can vouch for this method because I myself had success with it.   After people take a small action, even something small like answering a questionnaire with yes or no, they feel more committed.   Therefore they will be more receptive at what you have to sell them.   While you're building your email list, you will promote products from Clickbank on the website.   In my opinion, the best thing about this course is that Merlin provides you with templates for your landing pages, ad templates, email swipes and all kinds of things that you will use for your campaigns. For me, that was huge because I am quite lazy and didn't want to create my own.   Merlin actually tells you to use his templates, so he makes sure that you are successful. If you try to customize his stuff, at this point you're split-testing and not using something proven to work. So yeah, I don't recommend you change his templates.   Who Is The 1K A Day Fast Track For?     It's for anyone who wants to make money online!   Ok, leaving jokes aside, it's mostly for beginners. Every time you hear phrases like  "done for you"  it's mainly for beginners.   That doesn't mean that advanced marketers can't use it. I myself was an advanced marketer when I bought the program and I had success with it.   Ok, let me put it this way:   This course is for anyone, beginner or advanced, who wants to make money without having to create their own product, without clients and without having anything technical to learn.   1K or 14K A Day ???     Ok, this will sound crazy. Merlin will show you his commission dashboard making $14000/day and will tell you that you will be able to make more than 10% of what he is making.   He makes it sound like you don't need to put much effort and work only a couple of hours a week. I will tell you now that even for someone with experience, making 14K a day while working "just a couple of hours a week" is nearly impossible.   In my opinion, if you manage to build a huge email list, 14K a day is achievable. But for this, you will need to work much more than a couple of hours a week, ESPECIALLY in the beginning.   I mean, once you start making some money, it's just rinse and repeat. You can scale it as much as you want.   BUT keep in mind that this involves time and effort. After that, you can automate things if you are happy with how things are going.   But when it comes to scaling like he will show you, believe me, it takes more than a couple of hours of work every week. Even for an experienced marketer like me, it takes more than that. How Does 1K A Day Fast Track Work?     So, as I said before, you will need to create a 2-page website. After that, you will need to advertise that website with 2nd tier ad networks   Why? As you can probably imagine, these are cheaper than Google or Facebook ads.   I will tell you right now that if you were planning to make 1k a day via Google ads, you would have had an unpleasant surprise regarding your costs ...   After you set up your ads, you will start generating leads (email subscribers) in the same time as you make affiliate commissions on your website. It's a very cool process if you ask me.   I still to this day use this process. I'm sure you will like it once you see how profitable it is.   Here's what's kind of unique about Merlin's method:   - When your website visitors make the questionaire that we talked about before, the results of their questionaire will come on their email. They have no choice but to give you their email :) - It is based on running ads on not-so-popular ad networks, which are cheaper (like we talked before).   If you ask me, I think the email list is the main thing that you need to focus on here. Once someone gives you their email, you can send them offers all your life. Well, at least untill you annoy them enough and unsubscribe :)   1K A Day Fast Track Structure:   Ok, as I told you before, this course is structured in 6 modules. Let's have a look at what you will learn in each of them.   - Week 1: Five-day marketing masters degree & quick $400 commissions.   - Week 2: Setting up more commission accounts, finding the right products and getting everything in place.   - Week 3: Rapid development and deployment of your first poll.   - Week 4: Creating your automated selling systems.   - Week 5: Crafting your first money-making ads on Merlin's secret platforms and setting up your simple ad campaigns.   - Week 6: Planning out your future income streams & secret offer sources.   As you can probably tell, there's a lot to unpack here. That's why Merlin provides you with a series of 7 steps, which in his own words are the "right steps" that you need to take in order to maximize your profits.   - Step 1: Find out what people are already buying (the right products from ClickBank that pay the best commissions).   - Step 2: Find out HOW they're selling the product. Merlin will give you a simple 7-minute trick.   - Step 3: Copy the headline that's working on bestselling products and use it on your site.   - Step 4: Turn the headline into a simple curious question.   - Step 5: Use Merlin's list building poll template to bring in email addresses.   - Step 6: Merlin will give you the exact emails to spend to your new email list.   - Step 7: Instantly offer your new subscribers the product they're interested in, and earn a commission at the same time you build your list. While we're at it, let's take a look at what the "wrong steps" are   I will tell you that while I completely agree with some of them, others may seem kind of counter-intuitive to most online marketers. For example, I feel that giving people something of value in exchange of their email address is a very nice thing to do. You should take that into consideration.   Merlin talks about the importance of creating ethical campaigns, which I 100% agree with him. Also, he will tell you that once you make a larger amount of money, it would be a good idea to donate some of them to charity.   I personally do this because I believe in karma in life. I'm sure you do too. Every time I did something good for someone, it came back to me. Every time.   Here are some of the "wrong steps" that Merlin talks about.     In Merlin's opinion, you should promote only the products that are proven to convert, and not the ones that you "feel" will do good. I 100% agree with this. In the beginning of my online marketing career, I struggled with this.   I just didn't understand why people would not click my links. Well, years after, I understood that it doesn't matter what I think people want.   The most important thing is to chose products that people buy, because those are the products that they need. If you think a product is cool, that doesn't matter that someone else thinks the same.   Once you start making money, promote whatever you want. You need to enjoy it.   In the end, if you were to make a lot of money by doing something that you hate, what sense does it make? Of course, when you're a beginner you need to keep the ball rolling and keep making commissions.   But once those commissions start coming in consistently, you will see how you will feel. You will start wanting to have fun and promote products that you like.   Are Paid Ads Necessary?   I saw a lot of negative reviews bashing this course for using paid ads. My advice is to not listen to them.   The truth is that paid ads are a great way to make money fast. Though keep in mind that you will need to invest some money upfront.   I personally love paid ads and I had a lot of success with them. I also love promoting products with SEO, like I'm doing on this blog.   If you decide to invest in this course, please don't try to innovate. Just do what Merlin teaches you and you will make money.   Also, remember what we talked before. Merlin will teach you how to use less known ad networks like RevContent, so you will not need to spend that much money on ads.     Is 1K A Day Fast Track A Scam?   As you can probably figure it out for yourself, no. This course is not a "scam".   If you focus and implement the strategies, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't make money.   In my opinion, this is one of the best courses for affiliate marketing.   1K A Day Fast Track Pros   - You can make money almost straight away - One of the best paid ads courses - Very cool bonuses ( effective templates ) - Good support - 30 day money back guarantee   1K A Day Fast Track Cons   - The webinar is kinda long - You need some extra money for ads 1K A Day Fast Track Pricing   This course costs $997, which includes the course itself and the templates that we talked about earlier.   1K A Day course ( 6 weeks )   Proven landing page templates   "Thank you page" cash generator script   Email followup templates and training   "Titan of Traffic" training system   Free advertisement pack that you can use   Team support   Free 2nd login for your partner/spouse   Mystery package Merlin will send to your door :)   You basically get everything you need in order to have success. Believe me, if you follow the training and don't change the templates, you will make money. I know I did.   In my opinion, the price is fair. Most good affiliate marketing courses are in the $1000 - $2000 range. I know that for some people it may seem a lot, but it's definetely worth it.   And believe me, after you will start making money, you will feel that $997 was a bargain.   1K A Day Fast Track Money Back Guarantee     Merlin provides you with a 30 day money back guarantee, if you don't like the course for some reason.   Also, he promises that if you don't make money after 90 days, he will personally call you and help you be profitable. I really liked this approach.   His quote was : "If I can't help you make money, then I don't deserve your money".   Oh, and there's also the Clickbank money back guarantee, so you don't have to worry about getting scammed. I know I had this fear when starting out online.   Conclusion   To sum it up, I think this course is one of your best options in regards to affiliate marketing with paid ads.   I started being profitable like a week after I purchased this course. If you follow what Merlin teaches you, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be successful. Read the full article

Is Affiliate Marketing Dead? You Might Be Surprised ...

  I remember asking this question nearly 7 years ago when I first started working online: is affiliate marketing dead?   To be honest, this is a very legitimate question. Who wants to put in thousands of hours of work and invest huge amounts of money if there will be no payout?   So, I was very scared to take online business seriously because it could have had huge consequences in my life.   Fast forward to today, I'm making more than enough money to sustain my family and to go on vacations anytime I want.   Well ... hopefully after this virus disappears I will be able to do that again.   If you've been dabbling in the online space in the past year or so, you probably saw how Amazon decided to cut the affiliate commissions so much, that a lot of people decided to abandon their Amazon affiliate websites.   So yeah, asking whether or not affiliate marketing is dead is a pretty legitimate question.   So, let's go ahead and answer it.   Affiliate Marketing Is NOT Dead   The internet is growing more and more every year, so it would make sense that affiliate marketing will grow as well. More and more jobs are disappearing because of advancements in technology, so more and more people are looking into working from home.   It would be a good idea to analyze affiliate marketing a bit more. After that, we will see how you can start making money using it.     Is Affiliate Marketing Dead?   This business model is more than 30 years old. In the beginning, it was much easier to make money with affiliate marketing than it is today.   Why? Because as you can imagine, the competition was virtually non existent.   As with any other market, the more competition there is, the more difficult it is to make money (duh).   In order to be successful in marketing (and in anything for that matter) you need to "be like water" how a great man once said.   You need to adapt to the new circumstances. In this case, those circumstances will be the laws of your country, as well as the terms and conditions of the affiliate network whose product you're trying to promote.   Related: Affiliate Marketing For Books   I'm sure you notice how big YouTube became. Video became one of the most popular ways to consume content.   In order to take advantage of that, you could jump in and position yourself in front of an audience that's already there. You could be into anything.   Even reaction videos get a lot of views on YouTube. And if you think about it, you're watching a guy on YouTube whose watching another guy on YouTube. Crazy.   This article on Inc.com states that most brands use affiliate marketing. In fact, some of them get more than 25% of their income from affiliate marketing. So they will very likely keep their affiliate programs alive.   So, affiliate marketing is not dead. But what about the tactics that used to work a couple of years ago? Like spamming your link everywhere. Or scamming people without facing any consequences?   Those tactics have died. So in order to start making money in 2020 and beyond, you need to try more sustainable and ethical strategies.   Why Most Fail In Affiliate Marketing   More than 90% of people who try making money with this business model fail. Why is that?   Let's have a look at a couple of reasons:   - They give up to easy. This is arguably the most common reason why so many people don't make any money with affiliate marketing. Maybe they try something like blogging, write a couple of articles and then they just wait. But after a couple of months they give up because the traffic is not coming. They don't understood that SEO takes time and they just give up. Or maybe they try something more fast like Facebook ads. They think they will make instant money, but when their first campaign is not profitable, they say it's a scam and they give up. I am guilty of this too. First time I invested some money in ads I lost it and I gave up for about a year. Why? Because I thought Zuckerberg is trying to scam me.   - They are in it only for the money: Of course we all want to make a lot of money and have passive income. That's why you don't want to have a job in the first place. To not be a corporate slave. But we must understand that online marketers are not like bus drivers or prostitutes. We can't just put in the minimum amount of work like in a job. If you focus on providing value to others, there is no way you won't make money.   - They don't develop a strategy: The good old shiny object syndrome. Your biggest enemy. In my opinion, every beginner who'se trying to make money online is going through this. They just start with one thing like sales funnels or SEO, and then they hear a guru say that you can make 10k/month with YouTube ads in less than 30 days or something. So they try to do that until the next thing appears. We are all guilty of this. If you stay focused on one thing and don't get too distracted by all the make money online noise, you have a much better chance of starting to make money.   There are hundreds of other reasons, but these are the main ones. At least in my opinion.   I am guilty of all of them to be honest. But I hope you will learn from my mistakes.     Getting Started With Affiliate Marketing   This thought can be very dauting and scary. Starting your online business. I know it was for me   Luckily there is a lot of good information out there. This wasn't the case when I first started.   So with the right mindset and tactics, you can start seeing results. Maybe it will take 1 month. Maybe 1 year.   The important thing is to not give up and stick with it.   Now let's have a look at what you need to do in order to start:   - The first thing you need to decide is how you're going to get the traffic . Whatever it is, you need to create content somehow. You can either start your own website, which is a very good option. Affilorama is a great course that will teach you how to do that. The second option that I'm familiar with and that I like the most is to run Facebook ads. There are a bunch of courses that teach you how to do this. I reviewed some very good ones on this blog like Commission Hero, Super Affiliate System, 1K A Day Fast Track, 12 Minute Affiliate System or Clickbank University. You can check those out.   - The next thing you need to decide is which niche you're going to get into. The most popular ones are health, make money online and relationships. Why? Because everyone wants to look better, make more money and get more girls. These niches cater to everyone on the planet. The problem is that they can be quite competitive. I myself have had success in all of them and I'm not very smart. So you don't need to get scared of a little competition. However, you can literally make money in any niche. One of my friends has a blog about office chairs and he's making more than 50k/month. Another friend of mine is promoting woodworking products with Facebook ads and he's making almost 100k/month. So you can make it work in any market if you work hard enough.   - The next step is to decide which products you're going to promote. How many good products are there in your niche? What are their prices? What is the commission rate? Of course it's better to promote products that you already use, because it's much easier to sell them. Because you already know everything about it. However, this is not mandatory. I have another friend that is promoting cremes for skincare and he never even used them.   Related: Is Affiliate Marketing Hard?   Final thoughts On Affiliate Marketing   Affiliate marketing is alive and well and will continue to be so until the internet crashes. Which probably will not be anytime soon.   If you're thinking of starting an online business, affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to do so.   Just remember to not give up. So many smart people fail because they have no patience.   Their expectations are so high because of these fake gurus. But that's really not an excuse.   If you're thinking of starting a successful affiliate marketing business, I suggest investing in a good course, like Super Affiliate System. It will teach you everything you need to know in order to be profitable.   Just keep working consistently every day and you will make it. It's the same with anything in life.   Also, don't get distracted. Whatever you choose, just stick with it. I guarantee you everything works. SEO, Facebook ads, YouTube ads, sales funnels ...   Everything works if you're consistent.   If you want to learn more, check out some of my other articles. I hope that helps. Read the full article

Affiliate Marketing vs MLM: Which One Is Better?

  When I first started working on the internet, I got scammed many times.   After losing thousands of dollars, I really thought that everything is a pyramid scheme. And that was a legitimate thought to be honest.   Affiliate marketing and MLM seemed identical to me. Pyramid schemes and nothing more.   And I know for sure that a lot of people have the same opinion. That's why I decided to write this article.   If you want to know what are the differences between multi-level marketing and affiliate marketing, then you're in the right place.   We will go over everything you need to know. Also, we will have a look at which one you should chose in order to make money online safely.   First, let's go over what they are individually.   What Is Affiliate Marketing?   It's simply recommending other people's products or services. If someone buys a product through your affiliate link, then you get a commission.   It's actually pretty straight forward. You don't need to pay any fees to sign up.   Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online. Why?   Because you don't own the products. You are just responsible with the marketing.   If you're looking for a training program regarding this type of online business,  there are plenty of articles on this topic.   I suggest checking out my review of the best affiliate course that I reviewed on this blog, Commission Hero.   What Is Multi-Level Marketing?   MLM is the process of gathering a bunch in order to sell products. The term "pyramid schemes" was attributed to this kind of business opportunities because really the only people that were making money were the ones that created the company.   In theory, the money is supposed to go down to everyone from the pyramid, but as you can probably imagine, that doesn't really happen in practice.   The people from the bottom of the pyramid were struggling to get their money back, and sometimes they filed for bankruptcy or even worse.   John Oliver does a very good job in describing how Herbalife works in this video. Herbalife is probably one of the sketchiest companies on the planet.   Advantages of Affiliate Marketing over MLM   As you can probably tell, affiliate marketing sounds much more appealing because it's much more ethical. Let's have a look at what advantages there are if you were to choose this business model.   1. There are no fees if you want to join   Affiliate networks and programs don't ask you for money when you want to sign up and start promoting their products.   Well, at least 99% of them. If I remember correctly, some programs, like Builderall,  do ask for a fee.   It's better not to join if you see that they are asking for a fee. There are plenty of cool products you can promote for free.   However, MLM companies usually ask you for an entry fee of some sort.   Or, like in the case of Herbalife, they ask you to buy a bunch of they products and try to sell them to other people so that they can sell them to other people.   Related: Is Affiliate Marketing Legal?   2. You Have More Control   MLM companies usually force you to buy a lot of products when you enter, therefore you can't really choose to not do this. Also, if you were to try and sell those products, you would need to interact face to face with a lot of people.   There are some MLMs that have digital products, which you will need to sell by spamming people's inboxes with pitches. It's a very tedious task if you ask me.   On the other hand, affiliate marketing networks make money whenever you make money. If someone buys something through your link, then it's a win-win-win situation.   The customer is happy because he bought the product he wanted, the affiliate network is happy because they made a sale which otherwise they wouldn't have made, and you're happy because you made money.   The customers usually search for products they want to buy. For example, if you were to read one of my review articles and decide to buy through my link, I would make a commission.   That's the best part of affiliate marketing. You create a piece of content, which then stays forever on the internet.   You can create blog posts, record videos, run Facebook ads, and people who were already interested in that product will see it.     3. You Can Choose Which Products To Promote   Again, MLM companies have a lot of restrictions in terms of which products you're allowed to promote. On the other hand, if you choose to start an affiliate business, you can basically promote whichever products you want.   There are A LOT of individual companies that allow you to promote their products. You can even recommend huge brands such as Uber. In that case, you wouldn't need a lot of time to convince your customers, right?   You can make a website and promote products from Amazon. However, I would not recommend you do that.   At the beginning of 2020, they cut their affiliate payouts A LOT. In some cases, the commissions ended up being as low as 2%.   So it wouldn't make sense to put in so much for for such low commissions.   The best option, in my opinion, is to promote products from an affiliate network like Clickbank or JVZoo. They mostly have digital products on their platforms, but sometimes you can find physical products as well.   The advantage of promoting digital products is that the seller can't run out of stock. So you don't need to worry about not being able to promote that particular product anymore.   The only case would be if the seller stops selling it themselves. And ... if the product is making money, why would they do that?   4. It's much more ethical   For me, this is the most important benefit from the entire list. Why?   Because I got scammed by MLM companies as well. When I first started out, I was just a young kid who was easily impressed by get rich quick claims... because i'm not very smart.   Now that I'm promoting affiliate products, at least I know that the customer is happy.   What happens if the customer is not satisfied with the product that I recommended him?   Usually he can request a refund. Most products have a 30 day money back guarantee. So, there's no way that you can scam people.   Related: Is Affiliate Marketing Saturated?   Final Thoughts   I'm very happy that you read this article. Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online.   Getting up in the morning and seeing that you made money is the best feeling in the world. Of course it's a lot of work in the beginning, but in the end it's all worth it.   Time passes anyway, so we might as well try and do something with it.   If you want to learn more about affiliate marketing or dropshipping, there are a ton of articles regarding those topics on this blog.

Is Dropshipping Legal? (How To Stay Safe)

  Do you want to start a dropshipping business? Do you want to do it without getting into trouble?   Well, if you answered "yes" at one of those questions, then you're in the right place.   Starting an ecommerce online business is not easy. First of all, you need to have as much information as possible on how to set everything up properly.   Also, you need to be able to run profitable ads to your store. As we all know, driving free traffic to your dropshipping website is almost impossible.   In order to be successful, you need to master some kind of paid ads source (for example, Facebook ads).   But what should you do when you start making money. Is it possible to get into trouble with the law?   In this article, we will go over everything you should know about the legal aspect of dropshipping. Stay tuned!   Disclaimer: I am not an attorney or a judge. In this article, I'm just giving you the information I know regarding the legal aspect of dropshipping from the position of an ecommerce business owner. You should contact your local attorney or legal counselor if you want to educate yourself more on this specific topic.   However, I promise that I answer your question to the best of my ability and not hold anything back from you in regards to the legal aspects of this business model.   Let's jump straight into it:   What Is Dropshipping?   In order to have a better understanding of the legal aspect of dropshipping, we first need to have a clear picture of the business model.   Dropshipping is one of the most profitable online business model in the world. The seller just needs to create an online store and drive traffic. He outsources all the other tasks to a third party supplier.   Such tasks include product creation, shipment, packaging and delivery.   If you have a dropshipping business, you kinda act as a middle mad between the supplier and the customer. That's great because you can make money without the entire responsibility of the product. You don't even touch with the product.   If a customer places an order on your website, that order is automatically sent to the supplier together with the shipping information. The supplier then takes care of everything.   If you want to have a successful business, the main thing you need to focus on is to find quality products from reliable suppliers. I suggest you try SaleHoo, as they make this process much more convenient.   There are, however, a couple of costs you need to keep in mind. The main one is obviously traffic. Because if nobody sees the products on your store, well ... you don't make any money (shocker!)   That being said, keep in mind you need to have an ads budget. Other than that, the rest of the expenses are honestly not that big.   Dropshipping Pros and Cons   Let's have a look at some of the pros and cons of this business model, based on my experience:   Pros   - No inventory: This is a very big benefit that attracts a lot of people to this business model. I'm telling you, dealing with stock inventory is a huge pain in the ass. With dropshipping, you don't need to think about that kind of stuff. Just drive traffic to your store and you will make money. - Low risk: This is tied with the inventory. If you don't make sales, you just stop driving traffic. As opposed to other business models, you don't need to worry that you have a warehouse full of products that you need to sell in order to break even. You don't buy stock in the first place. - Global reach: It's not like having a local shop in your neighborhood and you're tied to that place. You are not limited in selling products in that area. With dropshipping, you can sell products to anyone. - Outsourcing: You outsource most of the time-consuming and stressful tasks, such as shipment, packaging, product creation, delivery and so on. - Focus on one thing: In order to have a successful dropshipping business, you need to focus on marketing ... and that's about it. - Low entry barrier: Other business models where you need a ton of experience to get started. On the other hand, anyone can start a dropshipping business (with the right information, of course)   Cons   - Competition: Sometimes it can get very competitive when you're trying to sell a product that you know it's converting. BUT as I always say, never be scared of a bit of competition.   - Prices: If you buy the products in bulk, you can get them cheaper. However, the risk is also higher.   - Control: As you don't create the product yourself, the supplier has more control over the business.   - Stock: Sometimes the supplier can run out of stock, which means that you will not be able to sell a specific product for a period of time.   Like in anything, there are pros and cons. In my experience, the pros outweigh the cons my a large margin. Dropshipping is a great business model and be sure that it will be around for a long time to come.   Why? Because it makes money   Now that you know how everything works, it's time to look at the legal aspects.     Is Dropshipping Legal?   Yes, dropshipping is legal. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind so that you don't get into trouble.   For example, if you work with a low quality supplier that sells fake products (for example, fake adidas clothing or something like that), and he gets sued, you could get into some legal issues. By   That's why it's very important to pick good suppliers.   Also, depending on the country where you live, you need to take into consideration the taxes. Also, the country where your customers live may have restrictions on what products can be imported.   The most common question I get is regarding the business license. Do you need one?   Well ... no. You are not required to have a business license in order to open an online store and partner with suppliers.   BUT it is recommended that you get one anyway. Because you will have an easier time with the payment gateways and things like that.   You will will feel more relaxed if you have one (I did). Not only that, but you get A TON of benefits if you have a business license.   Liability   This is a big one. Is you register your business and get a license, you will have limited liability. Therefore, you will be able to dodge some of the problems that may or may not occur.   For example, if there are problems with a product that a customer bought from your website, you will be a lot more protected. If you don't have a license, you might have bigger problems. Again, it's not mandatory to have a business license, but it does help.   Taxes   OK. Here is where I tell you to consult a legal advisor or a lawyer in your own country.   BUT in my experience, you pay less taxes if you have a registered business. That was my case at least.   Before getting my business license, I was paying more taxes to the government. Now I know that if you live in France for example, the taxes can be quite high.   But as far as I know, you do pay less taxes in most cases if you have a business license.   Legal agreements   In dropshipping, as well as in affiliate marketing or any online business for that matter, your website should have a "Terms and Condisitons" page.   This is mandatory, as you will collect personal information from your customers.   Especially if you have an ecommerce online store, you do need to collect their information. Because it's impossible for them to purchase a product without you collecting their data.   We all know that nowadays people are less likely to trust you with their information. Therefore, having the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions pages on your website will offer your customers more peace of mind when they order something.   Conclusion   Dropshipping is legal. Don't let anyone tell you it's not.   I am running multiple ecommerce stores for a long time. And to be honest, I never had any problems with legal issues.   However, you should ask for legal advice from a professional after you start making money. It makes no sense to fill your head with such information if you don't make any money.   If you want to start a successful dropshipping business, I suggest investing in a reliable and high quality course, like Dan Dasilva's 100k Blueprint.   It will guide you through everything you need to know about running a successful ecommerce business. You just need to put consistent effort and you will make money. Read the full article
