I purchased AffiloBlueprint 2.0 a few days ago and have been pretty impressed thus far.
I'm not a newbie in the sense of my knowledge, but I'm a newbie in the sense of actually turning a consistent profit, so I figured I'd jump aboard and see what he has to offer - Especially after seeing all the raving reviews of the original AffiloBlueprint program.

I managed to knock out the first 2 weeks of materials yesterday, which are about 2hrs of videos I believe. The "homework" that followed took me about another hour or two, but overall pretty basic stuff.

However, I have picked up quite a few juicy tidbits of info, especially around the topic of choosing a niche as well as keyword research. He gives some great info and actually steps you through an example niche. Part of the reason I was able to complete the first 2 weeks so quickly is the techniques that Mark shows to pick a niche and get keywords. Really good stuff...

So far the program has been exceptional, and I can't wait to dig into the other steps and start making some sales!

so far im up too week 3, while still catching up on week 2's homework ( write 10 articles 500 words each ).

The course so far is great, all video with pdf option ( notes ).

I recommend it, all makes sense. In fact its what most of use know what we have to do but mark guiding you through is a great help.

IM-Mobi

I purchased AB 1, started going through the modules and implementing the plan. When Mark Ling launched AB 2 (free to AB 1) members, I promised myself to implement the plan.

Mark's blueprint is solid but, as others have said, requires member action. Keyword research and choosing a niche caused difficulty for me and others. Mark then added another video to the first section, attempting to get newbies and others going even if their first website wasn't perfect and didn't generate reasonable income. (I noticed Mark, of late, has lowered the estimated first website ClickBank earnings to $50 per week.)

Clearly, AB 2 is not for Internet marketers who seek immediate profits. Like any business, you'll succeed to the extent you work the plan. From reading the AB forums, however, I think a lot of members are both struggling to keep up and calculating the personal time required to generate a reasonable ROI.

Affilorama is the best Internet training company I've yet found. Support and training are exceptional. Those who purchase the AB 2 course, though, must realize they're not going to make thousands of dollars per week at the start. It's a building process and members who are patient, follow the blueprint and work Mark's plan will succeed.

Mark says he'd rather see members get through the course and build their first website, rather than stumbling and stuttering to a complete halt at the beginning. This is good advice from any IM trainer.

NickR06

Very impressed by the structured approach. Just act on his model and you will see results. Mark really overdelivers with updates,teleseminars and an active advice forum.

I agree its not get rich quick scheme. I will finally have my first website finshed before the end of next week. I actually should of be alot more effort into this - ive been lazy. Once you have you website completed, mark shows you how to promote it - which again takes effort on your part. I ended up going to elance.com for articles as im way to lazy to write that many.

I only have 5 backlinks to my website, I have got alot of work yet to do. Ill update this again in 1 month. I would expect to start seeing sales by then and should have at least 250 backlinks.

themarketingdirt

Do the AB members have to post their website url on the AB forum in order to get a website critic, or can you submit a ticket and ask for a private website critic?

gpower2

The re-launch of this is 6-24-09 @ 6PM EDT.

Mark Ling is actually offering some really significant bonuses to the fist 250 people to sign up and he expects the bonuses to be gone in the 1st hour.

I am an affiliate for AffiloBlueprint but I am also a HUGE believer in this system.

I now have 2 websites that were built strictly using these principles with fantastic results!

The cool thing is even if you are a newbie, Mark will teach you all you need to know about on page and off page SEO as well as his way to find "buy keywords" that people really search for on the search engines.

It won't happen overnight, but this is something that you can really wrap your head around and implement pretty easily.

I found it took me a couple of months to get nice consistent traffic to my sites. The conversions are more and more consistent as well.

Mark also teaches you to rinse and repeat the process so that you can contract out most of the busy work and keep building affiliate sites that make $$$.

Also as an AB member, you get any new updates for free.

Overall, one of the best systems I have seen.

jacksonlin

You guys want proof that Affiloblueprint works?

Check out my site that I made from Affiloblueprint 1.0

www.yourownwingman.com

Go there and see for yourself.

Mark is the real deal.

That site brings in 150 a week through SEO!

I suck at PPC, but I might look into it a bit more later.

Aaron Elliott

Well my site is up, but I have been lazy/on holiday. Anyway my site is almost finished I only need a newsletter and some better graphics. I have been devoting my time to creating back links and articles, I should however be completing my site..

Woman Dating Advice - Dating Advice for Women

Dino F

How comes both of you are in the dating niche ? Is this a niche recommended by Mark Ling ?

You guys have so much content on your websites. I don't know if I would come up with so many ideas to write pages on. It is really a lot. I am currrently making money with a website that only has 7 pages. But of course having a side with so much content is very good for SEO. Well, keep it up with the good work.

Greetings
D.

jacksonlin

Hello

We're just in the dating market because it's an EVERGREEN market!

Mark tells you to buid sites in EVERGREEN niches so you don't just make a fad site.

I just happened to know about pickup and dating at the time of doing the AB course and thought to myself, "hey, if I can get paid whilst helping other guys improve their life, why not?".

As for the content, you can get most of it outsourced and created for cheap!

PM me for details.

J

Aaron Elliott

Yeah I agree, I picked the dating market because it had alot of products to promote. I paid for most of the articles, and keyword research was easy. Start with google, it gives you suggestions.

My site still has alot of work, this blue print does take alot of work as with almost any form on IM that I know of.

alimulyadi

Nice site, Aaron.
Mark Ling is a great deal. I have managed to build an affiliate site following Affiloblueprint style. It's almost complete. I am still waiting for my newsletters from my writer.
Will you add newsletters to your site?
And why you don't cloak your affiliate link?

Aaron Elliott

I will ad a newsletter, posting a job today on elance. With cloaking, I just check my links when I update the site, which is very often. Also you can check your links by clicking on them.

besides that google doesnt like you cloaking/redirects and mark recommends also not to cloak.

Overall I dont think cloaking is worth the time or effort, if someone wants to hack your site and change the affiliate ID,then they probably can get around your cloaking.

NickR06

I'm delighted with the course. There are no earth shattering secrets. Just a sound structured course on how to construct converting affiliate websites. Mark is a well known super affiliate, so is well qualified to teach. Supplement this information with outsourcing and twelve months in the future you should be doing very well.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm they recieved their "Pay Per Text Formula Bonus" from Gauher. I'm still waiting for mine, please let me know if you received a copy. Damn Gauher! lol

George Stavrakakis

I just received mine yesterday.

space

Alright thanks, I hope to get mine soon too.

Joe Veloz

I can't find any info about Gauher Chaudhry's PPT formula. The link doesn't work. Can you provide a little more info about the course?

aboutalhah

I think this promo is over, that's why.

Guys, this is an Affiloblueprint thread. Please keep this on topic.

Affiloblueprint is an excellent course. I have created several niche sites with this program and I am seeing good results.

One of the benefits I like is that they teach you how to build these sites using Wordpress (or HTML). This makes things easier for me and I am able to build more niches sites quicker.

If you know anything about Wordpress, you know that it makes website building a snap.

Kelby

Is there anything in this course that tackles the new FTC guidelines stuff? Like how to most effectively present disclosures and disclaimers?

cypherslock

read it from the ftc site best to get it at the source

NewLevelMarketing

No there isn't, but Mark is always adding updates to his course, so Im sure information in regards to that will come soon.

I just create my sites without testimonials and I am still able to get sales.

aboutalhah

Mark told us about this in a recent webinar. Plus you can also find information in the forum.

As said above, the best is to get the real "meat" by the FTC istelf. Here it is (It took me a while to read it all... don't read it all in one day)

Start with this one: http://ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revi...mentguides.pdf

Then this one: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/busi...erce/bus41.pdf

In a nutshell, make sure that any affiliate product you promote is FTC compliant.

Also try to use the product before you recommend it (affiliate good practices anyway)

Plus make it clear that you are an affiliate and benefit from your recommendation.

ex: the above link is a sponsored advertissment for a "your niche here".

Disclaimer: this is not legal advice, I only make a suggestion.

But don't get mad on this, it's just a fact of being honest and promoting good stuff. those who are afraid about FTC rules know why...

I've never really been interested in affiliate marketing but man this thread has made me want to really buy this course!

andr3w84

If I purchase Affiloblueprint through an affiliate link, not directly through Affilorama's website, will I still receive the official site's bonuses (such as the webinars, Instapop, the WP Themes, etc)?

light_taurus

I have not purchased Affiloblueprint 2.0, so i cannot guarantee 100%(only 99%) that YES.

It's just doesn't make sense not to give official bonuses(and to track that), only because the customer have purchased through affiliate link.

kumar

Yes. I purchased Affiloblueprint a few months back. You will be entitled to all the bonuses offered when you sign up directly or through an affiliate link.

Sylonious

He doesn't even disclose properly on his own sites. He has a little footer where he says "Note: The owner of this site is an affiliate of the products promoted.". That's it.

Despite that one problem the Affiloblueprint website model is probably the best way to create affiliate sites (that I know of). The site gets pretty decent conversion rates and seo is easy.

My Affilioblueprint site is the only one that I have ever gotten into the Yahoo Directory.

Plus, when you do make a full disclosure it doesn't really matter because you have affiliate links and banners on the page anyway so people already know that you are promoting the product.

My affiliate sales didn't move an inch once I started disclosing in the body copy.


"Promoting Good stuff" is relative. Believe it or not most people believe that anything promoted on Clickbank is crap and that you are being dishonest just by promoting it. You could be brutally honest about your affiliate relationship, it doesn't really matter.

Try promoting a Clickbank offer door to door and see the kind of responses you get.

aboutalhah

Yes, you will get the official bonuses, don't worry about this.

Franck

artsurd

Hmm..a lot of user here said Affiloblueprint 2.0 is also good for beginner that new to IM world...anyone know if Affiloblueprint 2.0 compared to Tristan Bull private coaching, which one is better for newbie to learn IM ?

Thanks!

aboutalhah

I am an affilorama member since 2006, and I also coach affiloblueprint my private members with the affiloblueprint, and I guarantee 550% that it works. And it is more than newbie friendly. I've never seen a product like this one. Everybody who buys it loves it (and most importantly, those who take action make money).

As for Tristan Bull's private coaching, I'll let other talk about it because I don't have a clue.

Franck

ruch1v

Hey Franck, is affililoblueprint type sites what you full time? if so how many niche sites do you have?

thanks

artsurd

Thanks for your kind to give me a clue for affiloblueprint Franck. I will put my eyes on this thread. I have a plan to join Tristan coach in this february but seems he have full loaded. Maybe I will try this affiloblueprint

jacksonlin

I also use Affiloblueprint. I know it works.

It is the real deal and for the price you pay, it's seriously the best course.

Pretty much 80% of what I know was learned from that course.

Just check out my site that I made from the course: http://www.yourownwingman.com

frankstar

I gotta say I was pretty impressed with affilobluprint. It really gets to the nitty gritty of setting up an affiliate site. A lot of affiliate marketing products often have something missing, but this has got everything you need to get you started, so its good for newbies.

I liked the fact that he demonstrated it all to a live audience (when he first promoted it). He followed his own course for 12 weeks and by the end his world of warcraft website was making $500 a week.

Also there's a refreshing absense of hype. Mark describes himself as a "resonably well known internet millionaire", which is accurate and true, but he doesn't make big deal about this. I thought in the video's that he comes across with integrity, gives good info and no BS.

The only negative is that it takes so long to download!! My folder was about 3GB once everything was downloaded!

Some other affiliate products are a good supplement to it, for example "confessions of a lazy super affiliate" would be a good stack.

aboutalhah

Hi,

I first started with affiliate marketing, and now, I have my own products, and I train affiliates.

I still have affiliate sites in the affiliate marketing, education, solar panel, forex and a few other niches. I don't have that many sites because I have my own products now.

Once I got successful with affiliate marketing, I started created my products (yup, I already said that). It's just me, I prefer marketing my own stuff.

It's what I recommend by the way. Once you find a niche that makes you more money than the other, it's the time to become a merchant in this niche (it's powerful because you already have a list and targeted traffic).

The first step is to start with affiloblueprint.

All the best,
Franck

artsurd

So this Affiloblueprint 2.0 also will teach us how to make our own product?

aboutalhah

No.

Affiloblueprint is all about affiliate marketing. It will teach you how to create an affiliate site, bring it to the point where you make $500 per week ($2000 per month).

You create a lot of those sites, and you should make a nice income.

Franck

artsurd

Thanks Franck! I have just one left question about affiloblueprint 2.0,
Do you remember about how much money that a newbie need to prepare when they start to practice the affiloblueprint methods (12 week)? maybe just a rough cost.. So when newbie like me can learn and practice the methods in the same time

Thanks!

ruch1v

the minimum costs are domain and hosting, there are optional extras which will cost more such as email marketing and ppc

ruch1v

thanks for you response, even I thought that creating a product in the niche site that you are successful in would be an excellent move, however the more I thought about it, the more I wondered, is it actually worth it? for example I started a site around 2-3weeks ago, and the main product i am promoting is $40 paying me $30 comission, while I already think that $40 is pricey for the actual niche in question, I wonder if all the extra hassle is worth it for the extra $10, not only is it questionable whether a customer who purchased a $40 guide would purchase another around the same price(I have reviewed the first one, it more or less covers all you need to know), but also there is all the work of creating/outsourcing the product, writing/paying for a salesletter aswell as dealing with the customer services after, it makes me wonder, is it really worth it all?

artsurd

Thanks, I think the expensive one is ppc, right?
But I get confused, does this affiloblueprint teach us about playing with clickbank/commision junkie or just about being affiloblueprint affiliate? Sorry if I'm ask too much.. I just need to find a good step to learn IM

jacksonlin

Just letting you know.

I was on the never ever ending quest to find the next hottest internet marketing product after completing affiloblueprint because I thought making a 30 page site that was going to get SEO traffic was too slow.

But then 5 months later and wasting thousands of dollars, I realized all the money that I spent buying other courses was actually funded by the profits of the Affiloblueprint sites.

So I thought to myself, I'm such an idiot, I should have just spent that money and kept making affiloblueprint sites. So that's what I started doing again.

If I didn't waste 5 months doing other useless courses and wasting thousands, I'm sure I would have made a lot more money. I have made at least 10K off Affiloblueprint in the past 12 months off only 3 sites. I spent the rest of my other time and money buying useless stuff. Imagine how much I would have made if I didn't go on a wild goose chase!

I knew absolutely nothing about internet marketing prior to affiloblueprint, so it is the best course I have done and seen to date - plus it's cheap!

Klemen

@ruchv1

i think being only an affiliate is a big disadvantage from at least two crucial points of view:
* while you only just redirecting the potential customers to products page, you dont do list building (which is valuable if you launch simmilar products in the future)
* while u own the product which fills up the demand on market, other 100 affiliates are selling it for you (and plus, you still get the list)

my 2 centzz

Klemen

ruch1v

Interesting perspective, however, in some of these niches I don't see people purchasing multiple products

for example yeast infection, people want to cure it once, then its over

similarly dog training or teaching parrot how to talk, or cure back pains most guides teach all, and if they weren't successful using the guide they initially bought, why would they purchase another


although I must say, I can see what you mean about the listbuilding, however there are always ways round that, for example a lead capture on the side of the site, like mark teaches or even simple squeeze pages...


Ruchi

NewLevelMarketing

Don't sleep on Affiloblueprint. It is the real deal. I am a member and I have built several sites and make a nice income from them.

It's 1 of 3 favorite internet marketing products/resources I love. The other two are:

Wealthy Affiliate (Excellent for learning bum marketing/affiliate marketing)
The Warrior Forum

aboutalhah

Hey Ruch,

Yes, it is worth it.

Don't only look at the $10.

In fact, later on, you will have an other backend product, even a membership site, and most importantly, dozens of other affiliates promoting your site for you (this is when its start to get really interesting).

But for now, just start to build affiloblueprint sites and start making money.

Regards,
Franck

aboutalhah

PPC is not required.

In fact, you could go with banner advertising, or even stick with seo.

As for the good step to learn IM, don't worry the affiloblueprint will get you started.

As another poster said above, it's the real deal.

Regards,
Franck
