Think about everything you need to built your list and start your business and it's there.

For Each of the 28 products, they supply

- The capture pages
- The autoresponder messages
- Emails
- Soloemails

You can let them hardcode your customer or you use your own aweber account.

My opinion it's a great product with easy to follow instruction

Hi
Just doing some due diligence on this and it was apparently first launched in June of 2009 or at least there is a review of it on that date at IM Reportcard a snippet of which i will put below.

Affiliate Silver Bullet was created by Internet marketer Dustin Struckman as a way to help other affiliates who are interested in e-mail list building. Mr. Struckman has been a full-time Internet marketer and product creator for many years and is well respected within Internet marketing forums such as the Warrior Forum.


However the creators on my promo email are Soren John and Cindy of clickbank pirate fame ( i wonder if they bought the system from Mr Struckman ).


I like the idea of this from what i have seen so far and will most likely purchase today. This doesn't seem to be promoted by the usual bighitters.


Shaun

I've Forgot, they also supply articles...

The Bullets can be hosted by you (If you don't now how to do it, you'll find all the details inside) or simply promote your Squeeze page link

is this a similar product to clickbank pirate

patchou

Similar but more complete, you can install everything on your own server so your site will be mysite.com and With Clickbank Pirate, you couldn't use your autoresponder.

I bought this when Justin first launched this 2 years ago. It was great then.

I don't know if they are selling the same products bullets again or if they are doing the concept with new clickbank products. If these are the same products again it might not be worth it as the products would be fairly out of date by now.

The problem with this was what we IM'ers all face getting traffic to your landing pages. If you have a cost effective way of getting traffic to your landing pages this is a great system to start building your lists.

Cindy Battye

Hey guys!

Let me answer a few things for you

- Yep, this was Dustin Struckman's product first. We have bought it, reprogrammed the backend, so that it is.. like... a million times more powerful.

We have plugged it into our normal mailing schedule - so any time that we are promoting a Clickbank product launch, or something else that is converting really well, we are mailing your leads too (if you are hosted the bullets with us) - using your Clickbank affiliate ID.

This means that you can just focus on building your lists, by promoting the squeezepages.

- Yes - you can also host them yourself. This is all part of the membership, at no extra cost. You can download the bullets, use the simple list import at aweber, and be up and running very very fast.

- There are some products in there that are the same as when Dustin launched it two years ago - so some are promoting older products, but - not just any products. We have left them there because they are evergreen and still making sales... but the main reason is more powerful than that too...

What happens when someone subscribes via your squeezepage, is that they go into a 5 part email course.

This course is packed full of great content - and also promotes the initial product.

BUT - we aren't just doing this for the once-off product sale - the main goal is to get them on the list, by encouraging them to join with the high quality content... THEN, we promote other products. The products that the email series, in some cases, are older proven converters, so we have that in the background - and then Soren and I mailing to them in followup emails/broadcasts as well

We think you will love it!!

Let me know if you have any more questions!
- Cindy

Cindy Battye

Hey James! No problems! Just spent a week replying to over 500 blog posts during prelaunch - forums make for a REALLY nice change... hahaha

JonMcNeil

Hi Cindy,

I have a quick question. Is there a way for you guys to host my bullets, but I'm able to import my own auto responder? Wasn't sure if I had to host everything or could I just add my auto responder and import the messages?

Jon
Jmcneil1981@gmail.com

Cindy Battye

Hey Jon!

You need to choose either allowing us to host the list for you - or you host it yourself. You can choose to have any combination of them hosted by you - or us. Totally up to you, but - you can't export the list if we are hosting it.

There are a couple of ways that you can make it work though, if you want to be building/hosting your own list - but still benefiting from the monetization that Soren and I do on your behalf

1) Download the bullet and host it on your own aweber account, then... in the AR series, promote one of the other bullets, using the 'hosted by us link'. This way they will be on both your list - and ours, so you can monetize it yourself - as well as benefiting from the emails that we send.

2) You could sign up to one of the squeezepage lists yourself - so that you receive the emails to your own email address. Then, when Soren emails - copy and paste that email and send it out as a broadcast to the guys on your list.

But yeah, the choices are all up to you

Once you get traffic to the squeeze pages the system looks good for converting the traffic to buyers but it's going to be difficult to get free traffic to the squeeze pages when you have a large number of persons competing for the same keywords.

Charles Harper

I used the old system and did build my internet marketing list. I used safelists pretty much. I did not try to get SEO Traffic. Typically, whenever I did a mailing in Viralurl or ListJoe I would have about 15 new people added to my list.

I used the feature in Aweber to automatically add someone who came in on one list to my main internet marketing list. And with that, I had a list growing at 10-15 every three days.

Eventually, I lost interest in mailing with Viralurl and ListJoe as they took energy and I pursued other things.

It worked as advertised. I was kind of sorry to see it end.

I see that the new owners are on now and would be interested to know how what they are doing that is more powerful.

I did get an invitation to re-join and am contemplating.

I would say that if you are not interested in building an internet marketing list (like maybe you might wnat to work in another niche); and if the products the new owners are using as bullets are the same as they were when I was doing Affiliate Silver Bullet, you probably want to hold off on this.

Cindy Battye

That 'might' be true if everyone was using the same sort of traffic... Fortunately there are literally hundreds of different ways to generate traffic. As part of the membership, we also give you access to Traffic Generation 101 (no extra charge) - and, last week - there were lots of people who were posting on the blog about how they didn't know how to get traffic, so I wrote a report outlining 10 strategies that we use to do that.

You can download it here if you want, free, no optin or anything: http://affiliatesilverbullet.com/blo...dofthepack.pdf

It is promoting the webinar, which we already held - but you should get plenty of information from there

- Cindy

Cindy Battye

Hey Charles

Thanks for your input!

You are right, this product is not going to be as useful if you are not planning on building a targeted IM niche list, but it you are going to be building a list. If that is exactly what you are trying to do though - and you don't have time to put all the pieces together, well... this is perfect for you. Even if you know how to do it all, having someone else create 30 ready made list building funnels is going to save you a lot of time. Which is time that you can spend promoting the top end of your funnels - giving away high quality ecourses - and building your list.

The massive difference that we have with the new ASB is that we have made the 'hosted for you' aspect of the membership included in the price - so you never need to pay again. At the moment, our list size is over 250k - and we have been managing lists for a few years, so we are kinda good at it This is where you will make your REAL money. We have a similar set-up at CB Pirate, where we can monetize your lists for you - and when we mail our lists sometimes we have members of ours who rank in JV leaderboard competitions, just by having us mail out (using their CB ID's in our emails).

Having Soren and I organise JV email swaps, and set up mailing schedules etc to bring in every chance for more income is a HUGE benefit.

And of course, you can choose to host the list yourself, if you don't want us to monetize it for you.

infohog

Hello Cindy - I'm trying to wrap my head around all this so please bear with me. If I go with your hosting plan do I get access to the names captured due to my efforts? And when you do a separate mailing my CB links only appear in the mailings going out to my list correct? (Ex: if my marketing efforts generate 500 people - the mailing you send with my CB link will only go to these 500 people?)

Thanks again for your help here.

Matthew

infohog

I have to ask...on the video that plays when you attempt to escape the main page...does that voice belong to Michael Jones?

Cindy Battye

Hey Matthew,

We have used some tricky programming so that when we blast our entire list, it automatically places your CB ID into the emails of the subscribers you have put into the hosted lists.

This means that we don't mail all of yours separately, but we mail once - and all the emails go out programmed with the links of the people who have referred them via the squeezepages.

This is a super easy way to build your list - because all you need to do is login to your members area, click to get your bullet link - and that is it. You just send traffic to that link.

You don't get direct access to that list, like.. you can't email them, or export the list etc, but we manage it and mail on your behalf.

The other option is to download the bullet and use our really easy followup series import (we show you how in video tutorials) - then you get full control of your list, we have about 20 emails in the series ready to go, so you can just import it and have it ready super easily.

You don't benefit from Soren doing the email blasts for the current product launches etc, but you can do that yourself - even if you just subscribe to one of our lists, see what Soren and I are promoting at the time - and then copy and paste that out to a broadcast message to your peeps.

Anyway! Hope that helps! lemme know if you have any more questions,
- Cindy

Cindy Battye

I think it might just be the same voice-over guy. Sounds a lot like this, yeah? The Affiliate Code - $65K Every Month

Soren Jordansen

Thanks for the input Charles ... Couldn't agree more, safelist are really effective if you're just starting out. Which is why safelist advertising formed part one of the the training I created for the members.

Example: Affiliate Silver Bullet Training Part 1

That's the first of many training pages on a ton of different traffic sources - didn't plan on showing it here, but I think it illustrates the main difference between the old and the new
ASB.

Also... some of the products in there are the same as before and some are new (we made sure the old one were still up and converting).

But the initial products is not really the issue... it's about the video squeeze pages and building your list (or let us manage your list). The old ASB only had the 5 part ecourse and you had to come up with your own stuff for follow ups. Now there are 25 professionally written emails in every series. And you can add more (if you host your own list), or we'll keep broadcasting to your leads on your behalf (forever!).

Hope that answered some questions

Teleologist

Is an affiliate program available for promoting the ASB system itself?

Soren Jordansen

Yup sure is... The links in my signature actually goes to our vendor spotlights at Clickbank

Teleologist

Hi Soren,

Clickbank says: You Will Earn 50% Recurring Commissions Frontend & Also 50% On Multiple Backend Offers.

Is that $19 per month on the frontend? Can you give some examples of backend offers?

Cindy Battye

Hey,

I know this was for Soren, hope you don't mind me jumping in and answering for you - he is a bit busy at the moment

So, you will get 50% commissions for referring someone to ASB - less the clickbank fees. This is a 7 month micro continuity program, so after you have paid your joining fee - and then 6 monthly payments, you don't pay anything else forever.

By backend, I am guessing you are wondering what we mail about? We mail for approx 4 promotions each month. Most are high profile Clickbank launches, or, if not... it is a high converting evergreen product. We use our system too, with our staff driving traffic to the squeezepages that our members use too - so we take good care of the list, because a chunk of that list is also ours too! The commissions vary, but it's Clickbank, so it is generally between about 50 and 75% commissions.

If that isn't what you meant, please clarify and I'll do my best to answer!

Ken Strong

Hey, everybody, this thread is for questions and reviews about the product itself. Let's take any continuing discussion about being an affiliate to PMs or other private areas.

Thanks!

Cindy Battye

Hey Ken

Thanks! There is a little bit of a cross-over though. When you use the ASB bullets, you also begin to promote ASB as part of the system (thus, becoming an affiliate). Any time you promote your squeezepages for any of the Clickbank products - you automatically get all of the backend power of promoting a ton of other products (ASB included).

So, no hard feelings Teleologise - and thanks Ken! Back on focussing on the product now. *grins*

- Cindy

Charles Harper

Thanks, Soren for taking the time to answer the question. I guess what you are saying indirectly is that your training on how to profit with the ASB system is pretty extensive.

CT

Soren Jordansen

Yep guess that's what I meant

And the point was... Since you know how the old system worked (and it did work), you also know that you were kinda left on your own, to figure out how to drive the traffic.

We made a lot of other improvements, but I do think the main one is the enhanced training and step by step guys (especially for people who are new to this).

btw if you're wondering... That's the reason Dustin closed it down, and then offered let us relaunch it (after some tinkering).

He knew the system worked, but did not feel he could teach people how to use it... We're pretty sure we can

infohog

Thanks Cindy and yes your answers have helped greatly. Appreciate the time! Glad to see people standing behind their products before, during, and after the sale.

Paul Schlegel

Soren/Cindy:

Since you have the most experience promoting the products used in the ASB system, do you provide information like subscriber value for people who want to buy traffic?

Also, if you host the optin page/list, etc., do you have a way for users to place pixels and install other tracking codes to determine how well a traffic source is working for driving optins?

Alternatively is there a way users can host their own optin page, but then send them to the list that you manage?

Cindy Battye

Hey Mark,

Sorry for the delayed response! We are out at Bristol for an event and have only just remembered pop by

So, firstly... we don't have figures on the cost per sub value - some of that will depend on the traffic you send - but in a demo, Soren followed the instructions in the training, starting with no list - just following the instructions, and got 38 optins now - and 3 sales... and now there are an extra 38 ppl on the list that we will keep monetizing (3 of whom are proven buyers).

Hmm.. second - If we are hosting the list for you you cannot add any extra tracking to the pages - you can't edit them, we just host them for you - so it's either one or the other. You can download the bullets and host them yourself though, which means you can put the tracking code on there if you like quite easily.

Lastly, what some people are doing is using a combination of the systems - so, some people will choose to download and host one or two of the bullets - and promote those, using the traffic gen methods that we train them in (or just making up their own)... and then in those autoresponder series, adding a followup email, to get people onto one of the hosted by us lists - so, just recommend a different ecourse to your subscribers as part of the process. Then you can have them on both lists - and if they get annoyed at us doing the full 'pitch' thing, you still have them on your list - they are just mad with us.. lol

gotta say that cindy and Soren are the real deal
i speak with cindy on a regular basis and she's amazing plus one of the best female online marketers

kevintg1

Hi looks good, would like to no,if the hosting and emailing is done by Affiliate Silver Bullet, what happens after the membership ends,ie when you have all 28 bullets,do they still carry on emailing your list for you,or dose it all stop.

thanks kev

kevintg1

hi one more thing, if they do the hosting for us, can we see how many subscribers we are getting,and will we be able to track were they came from.

thanks kev

Cindy Battye

@Richard!! Thanks for the kind words!!! You are awesome!! (hugs)

@Kevin, we keep mailing forever. Only thing that happens once you have all the bullets is that you stop paying us We will happily market to your guys FORVER!

As far as seeing the subscribers... it's something that we completely overlooked - but we did a bit of a brainstorming thing over the weekend and have a super cool plan for that. I can update you on it prob in the next week or so, but it will solve that issue - and totally overdeliver too

Okies... time to get bk to work!

Cheers,
Cindy

P.S. Sorry for not getting bk earlier, we have just flown back from a conference in Bristol - wasn't ignoring ya!

I have to say that if you are trying to develop your own websites, get traffic, seo listbuilding, adfinitum, when I looked at the Silver Bullets, I almost cried. It seems like the answer to a prayer. There was one problem that I saw however, the pages that are hosted by you look like affiliate sites, at least the offer I received from one of the affiliates, now if you want to do article marketing for the sites, it won't work (stop me if I am wrong). So, the alternative is to host on own server uploading, etc. argh!!!! Help

kevintg1

yes i have seen this, you have your user name at the end ,dose not look good,be good if thay can hide this

kev

Cindy Battye

Hey guys

Hmm.. not sure if there is another way to do the hosted sites - without having a username on there. You need to have your username in the link, so that our system knows that you are the one promoting that page.

If you want to have it so that there is no username in the link you can do a couple of things (but yeah.. it is more work).

1) You could get a redirect to a different domain name - so that in the browser window it will still be the same site, but in the address bar, it shows the name of the domain that you are sending the person to.

2) You can download the bullets - and host them yourself. This means that you have to host the list too. It's not that tricky, we have step by step video instructions for you to follow - and then you can host them where ever you like

If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.

- Cindy

kevintg1

Hi Cindy
it would be nice to be able to edit my user name, if i had known it was going to be tag on to the url, i would have used something less obvious to make it look less like a affiliate site. AffiliateSilverBullet.com/hop.to?b.10.kevintg1

thanks kev

kevintg1

Ps Cindy just got my 1st lead

kev

Cindy Battye

Hey Kev!

Sorry, we state on the registration page that you should choose your username carefully - we cannot change it at all sorry.

Gratz on your first lead!! We just added a new function today that will email you when you get a new signup. If you are an experienced marketer and don't want masses of emails to tell you that you got a new signup, no probs either - you can switch off the function in your profile

- Cindy

mrflizo

Could someone clear up for me the issue regarding how you can't use article marketing because of the affiliate page?? Since i'm having the sites hosted for me, is it ok for me to purchase a domain name and have that domain name be a redirect to the affiliate page/site? So in my resource box i'll have the neat looking domain name but when clicked on it will go directly to the affiliate site/page, is that ok/allowed?

thanks in advance

cypherslock

You CAN use article marketing....you just can't submit to EZA. But if you've got your own domain (and mask and forward it) you should be fine with EZA. Just remember, USEFUL, HELPFUL content is the key.

Cindy Battye

Hey guys,

Yeah - Cypherslock, you are right. EZA is very
particular about what you can and can't submit.

Most of the other article sites will be fine
with a cloaked redirect, or however you want to
send the traffic over to the squeezepage.

The only way I can think of, to get around this,
is to host the bullets yourself - or only promote
on the other article directories that don't have
a problem with affiliate link redirects.

Hello,

I have a question about people in the CBPirate program.

I think that Affiliate Bullet looks very much like an improved and more flexible version of CBPirate and I am tempted to choose the new version.

However I am worried that if I terminate my membership to CBPirate to take a new membership to Affiliate Bullet I might loose the leads that were collected in the CBPirate mail list.

Can anybody clarify these points?

Thank you and best regards

Just done a review on it - yet to publish though. In short, worth a crack if you have some experience

EDITED BY MODERATOR: Plugging your affiliate link is not considered a "review" and is against the rules. Don't do it.

lynneklos

Thanks for your honest review, Brian. I hated to see the dreaded "PPC" in there, though.

I just have a question for Soren or Cindy or John. In an earlier post, Cindy wrote:

There are a couple of ways that you can make it work though, if you want to be building/hosting your own list - but still benefiting from the monetization that Soren and I do on your behalf

1) Download the bullet and host it on your own aweber account, then... in the AR series, promote one of the other bullets, using the 'hosted by us link'. This way they will be on both your list - and ours, so you can monetize it yourself - as well as benefiting from the emails that we send.

2) You could sign up to one of the squeezepage lists yourself - so that you receive the emails to your own email address. Then, when Soren emails - copy and paste that email and send it out as a broadcast to the guys on your list.

I think I would like to join and do my own hosting, if I can still reap the same benefits as having it hosted by ASB. I don't understand the second part of #1. Could someone please further explain what she means by promoting one of the other bullets using the "hosted by us link".

It seems that this is probably what I'm looking for. To be able to take advantage of what they are doing while retaining control of my own list.

Could someone clear up how that works for me

I sure appreciate everyone's help.
Lynne
