Online Marketing From Home

It’s no secret that affiliate marketing can be a very lucrative way of making money online. In fact, many online marketers derive most of their income from affiliate marketing while others promote affiliate products as a means of complementing their online income.

However, I was a bit sceptical when I bought Secret Affiliate Code by Craig Beckta. First of all, I don’t really know him, and secondly, I have read many books on affiliate marketing and was not sure what could be so “secret” about this one…

Background to Secret Affiliate Code

Craig Beckta caught the attention of many “super affiliates” during some recent big item product launches where he managed to just about dominate the search engine results for some top product related keywords.   

This has enabled him to earn thousands of dollars in a matter of days!

In Secret Affiliate Code Craig Beckta shows exactly (step-by-step) how he did it!

What makes Secret Affiliate Code different? 

There are many ways that you can earn affiliate commissions… These include writing and submitting articles to article directories, placing banner ads on your blog or website, etc. 

However, most “super affiliates” use and recommend the following ways:

1. PPC Advertising.
2. Email Marketing (Building a huge list and emailing them about products). 

What makes Secret Affiliate Code different is that Craig Beckta managed to become a super affiliate without spending money on PPC ads and without a list!

What is the secret?

Well, Craig actually discusses four different methods in Secret Affiliate Code.

However, the bulk of his 155 page e-book is devoted to jumping on Internet marketing product launches prior to their launch date and by dominating the search engine results for that product.

He explains in great detail how this can be achieved.

Okay, what’s my honest opinion? 

I really enjoyed reading ‘Secret Affiliate Code’…

I have no doubt that anyone can replicate Craig’s success by following his step by step blueprint.

It is very detailed, well-explained and I do believe his claim that he didn’t leave anything out.

There are a couple of things in the book that I do not agree with… It has nothing to do with his overall strategy (which is very good!) but I believe it’s worth pointing out.

Firstly, Craig believes in using a keyword density of between 3% and 5% when writing articles. In other words if a keyword such as “affiliate” appears three times in a 100 word article it will have a keyword density of 3%. Many experts endorsed this view in the past but it is not as relevant today as it once was.

Secondly, Craig believes that an article should be altered by at least 40% in order for it to appear unique as far as Google is concerned. There is no evidence to support this view.

Sidebar: I am very critical by nature. I read hundreds of books, case studies and articles every year and rate every single one of them on a scale of one to five… This remains the best book on affiliate marketing I have read this year and I rate it four out of five. By the way, I can count the number of books I have rated four out of five this year on one hand. (Said I was very critical, didn’t I?) 

Is Secret Affiliate Code right for you?

Okay, this is a difficult one to answer. Let me tell you why…

Craig went out of his way to explain his strategies in as much detail as possible. In fact, I am convinced a newbie to affiliate marketing can follow his step by step instructions without a problem.

But… Does this mean you can or should target new product launches?

Let me play devil’s advocate…

Craig’s strategy is certainly doable. But, it does involve a fair amount of work. It is certainly not for the lazy! However, there are two important things to consider:

1. Bonuses – Most big item product launches are characterized by the “gurus” offering huge bonuses if you buy through their affiliate link. These bonuses are often worth thousands of dollars!

I can foresee that a new affiliate marketer may find it very difficult to compete with other marketers if he or she does not have an attractive bonus to offer!

2. Limited Time – Several big product launches this year only lasted for a couple of days (some only a couple of hours) before these products were taken off the market.

Your “window of opportunity” is often very small!   

The best part of Secret Affiliate Code! 

Dominating Google’s search results during a major product launch can make you a lot of money in a very short period of time and give you bragging rights… You can tell people that you were one of the top affiliates for XYZ. You can tell people that you made $10,000 in one day!

But, you know what? It does not appeal to me… I believe in building long-term businesses. Businesses that will continue to generate cash on a monthly basis for years to come.

The excellent linking strategy detailed by Craig Beckta in Secret Affiliate Code is perfect to boost your search engine results, rank higher for competitive keywords and get lots of free traffic!

It is the best linking strategy I have seen to date. Period!

In the end it does not matter whether you want to dominate Google during major product launches and make money as an affiliate or whether you simply want to give your own sites a boost in the search engines for some competitive keywords…

I think you will find a lot of value in Secret Affiliate Code!

The normal price of ‘Secret Affiliate Code’ is $94. However, it is currently selling for only $67.

Tip: If you try to leave the website without buying you get a “virtual smart agent” that will offer you an additional $20 discount! This means you can get your copy for only $47! And, you will also receive several bonus downloads. There is a special OTO for $27 but I cannot comment on this as I didn’t buy it.

Based on the above, I highly recommend Secret Affiliate Code.

To YOUR Online Marketing Success!

I recently heard a comment that the new membership site “Super Affiliates” Ewen Chia has launched is nothing but hype. To be honest, reading the sales page (all 33 pages of it!) it is easy to jump to that conclusion!

In fact, opening the sales page I was greeted by an audio message saying “Straight From The World’s Number 1 Affiliate…” I nearly closed the page straight away but must admit my curiosity got the better of me.

Ewen Chia has probably got the biggest ego of any internet marketer I have ever come across. He is the only marketer I can think of that openly refers to himself as a “guru” in many of his sales letters! He is the only marketer that openly states if there is ONE person that can help you to achieve financial freedom through the internet it is him!

Some serious claims! The words “modest” and “humble” were obviously not included in the dictionary the last time Ewen Chia had a look at it…

Funny thing is, Ewen is probably right. I do consider him an “internet marketing guru” and he may very well be the “World’s Number 1 Affiliate”. I am not aware of any other affiliate marketer that has even come close to achieving the same level of success as Ewen Chia. He simply conducts business on a totally different level.

As I am aware of the fact that many of my members are aspiring affiliate marketers (and it is a great way to make money online) I decided to join Ewen Chia’s membership site and post an honest review about it right here on my blog.

I am going to do my best to keep it short… Lol, no 33 page sales letter!

The Facts: (without the hype)

This is what you will receive when you join:

Membership Module 1
 
A 120 page ebook, called “15-Step Top Secret Super Affiliates Blueprint”
 
Note: This is a comprehensive affiliate marketing blueprint with easy to understand step-by-step instructions. (I was really impressed by the quality of this blueprint)

Membership Module 2

A series of 52 Step-by-step video tutorials.

The topics range from basic such as “Choosing a good domain name”, “Registering your domain name”, “HTML and how it works” to more complex topics including “Writing ad copy”, “Installing a customer support desk”, and “Installing a shopping cart, affiliate and ad tracking system all in one”
 
You can either watch the videos online or download them. Additional videos will be added in January. The videos will remain available in the members area so there is no rush to view or download them all at once.

Note: This is an excellent series of videos, catering for the needs of complete newbies to more advanced marketers. I really like this!

Membership Module 3

“Monthly Expert Audio Training”

Every month Ewen will release a new, exclusive and never before available audio message. He will either share some of his own “affiliate marketing secrets” or invite other experts to share their techniques.

Note: The audio can be downloaded as a MP3 and you also get the full audio transcripts that you may print and refer to whenever you like.

Membership Module 4

“Live Video Case Study”

Every month Ewen will do a video case study of, either one of his own promotions, or those of another successful affiliate marketer.

Note: The video can be watched online or can be downloaded and every video will include transcripts that you may print for later reading.

Membership Module 5

“Mystery Instant Business-In-A-Box”

Every month you will receive a complete business-in-a-box focusing on a specific niche. The package will include a product, sales page, download page, etc. In fact, every thing you need!

Note: You will have Private Label Rights to this package meaning you may edit the content to turn it into a truly unique product if you wish to do so.

Additional Bonus:

You get a 80 minute video tutorial (that you can watch online or download) with step-by-step instructions on using the “easiest and fastest affiliate marketing system ever created” (Sorry for the hype…)

Well, there you have it!

Now the big question is: “What is this going to cost me?”

I was pleasantly surprised! I expected Ewen would charge at least between $97 to $197 a month. In fact, I would not have been surprised if he charged a lot more…

He is only charging $47 per month. I couldn’t believe it… If you have bought any internet marketing products before (and I am not even taking about buying a product from a highly respected marketer) you would know that this is an excellent deal.
 
Is there a catch?

Yes, in order to get in at only $47 per month you have to join straight away. Ewen made it clear that he will increase the price to $147 per month in the near future…

Is he bluffing? No, I don’t think so. This membership is clearly worth more than $47 per month. (I have recently unsubscribed from a membership site that charged me $97 per month for a lot less information)

I would go as far as saying that $147 per month is probably the right price Ewen should be charging in the first place. However, by joining now you will keep on paying $47 a month.

The second thing you may notice is that Ewen made it clear that once a member leaves the site he or she will not be allowed back. Why? This is simply to prevent a member from joining, downloading all the information, canceling and rejoining a couple of months later just to repeat the process all over again.

Lastly, once you join you will notice the following ad on your membership download page: “Wait – Before You Continue…” It is basically a promotion by Chris from “Day Job Killer” for $77. Don’t waste your time or money on this…

Trust you have found this review more useful than reading through 33 pages of hype. Fact of the matter is that if you cut the hype away Ewen is actually offering a very nice deal!

To join simply click on the following link: Super Affiliates

P.S. He is offering a full 56 day 100% money back guarantee so you don’t really have anything to lose by joining.

To your affiliate marketing success!

Review: Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet by Kevin Riley

I often get comments from new internet marketers saying things like “I want to make money online but have no money to invest”, or “I don’t know how to build a website”, or “What is the easiest way to start my online business”…

Well, Kevin Riley has just launched his latest “money making recipe” called “Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet” and I am going to try my best to give you a totally objective review.

Note: I do not believe in pushing any product. Not all products are right for all marketers. The best I can do is to provide you with an objective review and my recommendation – Only YOU can decide if it is the right product for you.   

What is the book about?

Many new internet marketers try too hard when they just get started. They want to make a fortune online within a very short period of time. They want to compete with experienced marketers for the “top hanging fruit on the tree” (profitable but normally very competitive markets).  

Kevin Riley provides a step-by-step blueprint showing how new marketers can easily build a profitable online business by focusing on “low hanging fruit” (smaller markets with fewer competitors, but profitable nonetheless!).

He explains how any new marketer or “newbie” can make money online by promoting other people’s products (affiliate marketing). “Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet” provides a detailed step-by-step action plan.

What do I like from the book?
 
First of all, “Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet” is not a “what to do” book but a “how to do it” book. It is a comprehensive 112 page blueprint showing the exact steps anyone can follow to start a profitable online business from home working only a couple of hours per week, part-time.

By following Kevin Riley’s blueprint:
- You do not need a website
- You do not need your own product
- You do not need to invest any money to get started
- You have no monthly expenses
- You do not need a “list” (subscribers or members)

What don’t I like from the book?  

I think Kevin should have recommended a couple of ways to boost earnings by making some small investments. However, I guess his whole point was to illustrate how you can make money online without spending any money… 

Some of the income claims made in the book - how much money can be made by following the step-by-step action plan – seems a bit unrealistic. Not impossible but unlikely, especially in the beginning.   

My Recommendation:

I have no hesitation in highly recommending “Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet” to all new or inexperienced internet marketers. Kevin Riley also offers a money-back-guarantee, making it a no-brainer deal.

For more info, visit the sales page of Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet.

If you are already making money online with affiliate marketing, are a semi-experienced or experienced online marketer, this book will most likely not help to increase your current income.

Still in doubt?   

Kevin Riley has very generously agreed that I may provide a FREE copy of Part 1 of “Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet” to all my ezine members and readers of my blog.

You can download Part 1 by simply clicking on the following link: Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet

I have no doubt that after reading Part 1 you will no longer have any doubts on whether or not “Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet” can be a valuable addition to your online marketing success.
