Hi guys, first time poster here with a few questions re this course by Dan Brock.

I have absolutely no experience whatsoever in this field but I am interested in getting started. To be honest all I’m looking at achieving at this stage is to simply implement my current income by about £400 to £500 per month.

I am not in a position to throw away money and am somewhat apprehensive of losing anything, indeed, I was contacted by Meridian Business Consulting last week who wanted between £1,200 and £2,700 to help set me up as a seller on EBAY – needless to say I said thanks but no thanks.

Will Dan’s course help me to achieve my aim, how long would I expect to take to set myself up and see results coming through and is the price worth me giving it a go?

Thanks in anticipation of your help and advice.

Hi fyldered61,

There's a review section HERE for posts like this.

The search function returns THIS for 'deadbeat'.

HERE is a review thread.

This is the wrong section.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks ExRat. I can't post on there until I've raised 20 posts though and I have got the nous on this subject to make two yet!

Hi fyldered61,

I didn't know that that was the case, sorry. I imagine it's because people were abusing that section and that the admin was forced to implement that rule.

I think you can still use the search function though.

I've never heard of them but I would wager that in your situation, you made a wise decision.

As for the product in question, considering what you have outlined in the above quote my advice would be for you to spend some time trying to find free sources (blogs) for the information you need via Google, using terms like 'make money amazon affiliate' and things like that. There are hundreds of them out there.

I've done some Amazon promotion myself in the past, but I would only recommend that type of affiliate marketing for new people as a way to quickly get some sites up in order to learn about site building and to conduct tests, before they move on and build their own business in the longer term that involves transactions directly between them and their own customers, possibly with affiliates promoting them, via their own affiliate program. In other words, I wouldn't recommend it as a long term business model for people starting out now.

There are two main reasons for this -

a) Google are (and have been for some time) actively trying to reduce the amount of 'thin affiliate sites' (Google it) in their search pages. They also have rules which make it difficult/complicated to promote via pay per click, as do the affiliate programs themselves.

b) The larger affiliate programs such as eBay and Amazon are not in 'the ascendancy'. If you think about it, these sites are household names and don't really have a strong need for affiliate promotions anymore (I do have extensive experience with eBay as an affiliate) - and this affects the profitability of these programs, especially to those just starting out.

I hope this helps.

Thanks ExRat, I appreciate you taking the time out to provide that response.
