Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Has anyone bought this course yet?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I'd like to know if anyone bought it too. Wonder if it's the same old same old.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hey all,I just purchased and haven't even got a chance to go through it yet ,but FYI he gives you the option to try it out for $1.00 for five days and then 2 payments of $33.00 after 5 days if you decide to keep it.that option appears when you go to leave the page.

All the best,

Jerry

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I can't use paypal due to my account has not been resolved yet can I use another way to purchase?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Or can I make the purchase with no paypal account with my credit card?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hey Zack,I do recall seeing a credit card option

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

If I click the second option would it work? Even though I have a limited paypal account?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Yeah it gave the option for credit card or pay pal,the one dollar trial and payment plan stays the same what ever option you choose.I'm not sure how long he's doing that for but for a buck why not.And in my past exp. anything from Andrew kicks butt.Good luck with everything.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I would pay with my credit card through paypal, but I just don't trust paypal right now.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Yes paypal is a big problem. Unless a marketer provides a different way to pay I won't buy anything that uses paypal as the processor.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I just talked to paypal it seems like I got my account back :).

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hi Jerry,

This product sounds promising and I would like to give it a shot. The "try it out" option for $1 seems save, but I don't get the response that you got when leaving the sales page. Could you provide me with the link you used?

Thanks and regards.

Anthony

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hey Anthony, I just sent you a PM. :)

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Thanks, I got the option and signed up successfully.

Here is to great success.

Thanks and regards.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

It's a very long time since I posted anything on the Warrior Forum. It's been even longer since I have purchased any internet marketing products but...
I am between contracts so I do have a bit of time on my hands and there is something about Andrew Hansen that I quite like. So, I have purchased both the course and the upsell. I've just watched the first couple of videos and haven't found anything new yet but it's still early days.
I will post regular updates here on how things progress.

"Note: This special offer will not be available again if you close this page, and is ONLY valid until March 1st, after which the price of Forever Affiliate doubles."

When you close the page and re-try it - it is available again. Shady marketing.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Like to give him the benefit of the doubt could just be a small coding glitch

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Going to check it out for $1... let me see if Andrew has anything new to share.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I'm probably going to buy the $67.00 option. Does anyone know if the $497 coaching still available after you have checked out the $67 product? Or is it a "one time offer" type thing?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Highrider21 -

I can't be sure, but I think the offer disappears for good after you decline it. I bought the program but didn't take the coaching.

Unlike a WSO confirmation email that allows you to navigate back to OTOs, this confirmation does not point to the coaching offer. I've done some looking for you but I can't find that page.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

That sucks. What I usually do with OTOs is save the url of the OTO page when it first comes up so if it isn't offered again I can go back to the url of the OTO page. But you would think with a $497 price tag he would let you buy it after you have checked out the $67 product. Thanks for letting me know though.

I also wanted to know what other costs are involved to implement his methods. Like how much will it cost to outsource the articles and create the backlinks. The backlinking services that other courses recommend are usually pretty expensive (for me anyways) like $67+/month.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I bought it,but decided to pass on the upsells.

It's a bit early to give a real review-the course just launched today, and I'm only on the second "theory" video.

With that said, I suspect (based on what I've seen so far) it will be similar to Andrew's last course in overall strategy, although some of the technical stuff will be updated. It also looks like he is focused more on a mix of authority and minisites as a long term business philosophy-something I agree with.

He seems to be focusing more and more on building an online business, versus just an income stream.

As much as I'm hesitant to say much until I've gone through the entire course, and taken action on it, I will say that this is not the first time I've purchased Andrew's materials. He is very detail oriented, explains things well without sacrificing depth, and his info is always top notch.

I have no doubt that this purchase will be worth it.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I have done a full video review (I had early access, which is a good job as there are over 50 videos.
- here with no affiliate link: http://vimeo.com/60070190

Here is a full written review:
What is FOREVER AFFILIATE?

Forever Affiliate is a training program, from Andrew Hansen, that will teach you how to build a genuine long term and sustainable online business from affiliate marketing, where you can get to a position where you are earning a genuine PASSIVE Income – i.e. earning while you sleep. But you need to get there first.

Andrew Hansen has been around some time, and his previous training course from a few years ago was UNSTOPPABLE AFFILIATE was highly regarded (in fact one of my top recommendations).
HOWEVER, Forever Affiliate is NOT just a re-hash of old stuff!!! This is ALL Brand new training, developed for all aspiring affiliate marketers NOW. Many courses I review, even new ones, tend to be just re-hashes of old techniques. BUT Forever Affiliate is ALL NEW. And this is important to understand.

You see last year GOOGLE made some major changes to the way its search engine algorithms work. Any existing affiliate marketers out there will be acutely aware of these. These were the so called Google Penguin, Panda and EMD updates – and it had a MAJOR impact on many affiliate marketers – even me! Those old techniques – just don’t work effectively anymore, and over utilise them and you will get GOOGLE slapped.

That is why, for me, FOREVER AFFILIATE is so exciting – it is the first new training that is based on this new post-Panda, Penguin and EMD era.

Upfront I want to establish a few things about Forever Affiliate:
If you think that just buying the product and sitting there doing nothing your problems will be solved – this is not for you
If you think buying this means you will be earning £100 per day by tomorrow, this is not for you.
If you are looking for a “push button” magic bullet solution – this is not for you.

Make no mistake ….
Forever Affiliate DOES require an investment of YOUR time. There are nearly 50 videos here, and you need to go through each one. Each video ranges anywhere 5 to 20 mins long.
BUT THIS IS GOOD. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED. It is because the training is SO detailed and thorough *(a trademark of Andrew Hansen’s previous courses). And why I like Andrew Hansen’s training. Even for an old hack like me, there is always so much NEW stuff I didn’t know about.
But it is all about QUALITY not QUANTITY – and the content in here is all QUALITY, believe me.
Right, now I have that off my chest …. Let’s get started and go to the members Area….

MEMBERS AREA
Members Area is pretty standard, but I like the simple layout. I have seen some membership areas that are just too confusing. This is very straightforward and perfect for beginners as well as old hacks like me.

Simple MENU navigation across the top, and the main training is split into 3 Key areas of “Phases”.
But here is the THEORY – now it really pays to sit through this, and really understand WHAT it is you are trying to achieve and HOW you are going to achieve it. This helps when you come to the main part of the course.

PHASE 1 – Is all about research, creating the framework for testing whether affiliate offers are worth pursuing, and also How to find great affiliate offers.
There are 15 videos
PHASE 2 – Testing, and setting up your blog, using Wordpress, what plugins you should use, Initial On Page optimisation
About 20 videos
PHASE 3 – off page SEO, SEO for 2013 an onwards, i.e HOW to avoid the nightmare of Google Penguin, Panda . This is not old re-hashed stuff using techniques developed before GOOGLE introduced its Penguin and Panda updates. This is all NEW SEO, and how to succeed and get ranking and traffic in 2013.
About 10 videos
In all the videos Andrew sets up what it is you will be learning, then he shows you how to do it, with “over the shoulder” (i.e. screen capture) view, then sums up the key points at the end in a slide. So all very easy to follow.

PHASE 1
Phase 1: Goes into real depth on two key areas
All about Creating an Analysis Funnel - basically a bench mark, or criteria to dramatically increase the chances of success when promoting a product.

This is what you use to test whether promoting a product is going to be worth your while.

This is what makes Forever Affiliate so effective. Many courses, just tell you how to find keywords that can rank easily, and have little competition - and then leave it at that.

But just because you find a great keyword - that meet is the search and competition criteria - does not mean you will make any money from this.

Forever Affiliate goes into much more detail in its "Analysis Funnel”. After all, if you are going to spend time creating site, or writing articles – you want to know that all that effort will be worth it. Or, if you are going to pay someone to do all that – again, you want to know that you will get a return on your investment.

This is why finding whether it is worth pursuing an idea is CRUCIAL – and what sets Forever Affiliate head and shoulders over anything else I have seen.

But, as they say, there is MORE. So you know how to analysis whether a product or service is worth promoting …. HOW DO YOU FIND what products or services to promote? Again, another area overlooked by so many courses.

Not this. The second part of Phase 1 is called “Putting Stuff Into The Funnel” – it is all about finding those PROFITABLE affiliate offers you can analyse. This section taught me so many techniques and ideas in finding great affiliate offers, (that aren’t just about tired all competitive products from Clickbank). There is NO ONE else teaching how to find great affiliate offers to promote – in this kind of detail.

Believe me if you have been around the block a few times with affiliate marketing, and put in all the effort only for a site to not make sales, or for all the best affiliate offers to be too competitive – I can understand your disillusionment. I know a lot of people struggle trying to find niche markets and affiliate offers to exploit – well, the training deals with this.

But the training in this part is so much more effective and so much more detailed than anything I have ever seen before. Really powerful stuff. You will discover loads of amazing affiliate offers to promote – that so many affiliate marketers do not know about – so low competition. If you take affiliate marketing seriously – this stuff is gold. You won’t be chasing after the same old tired and competitive affiliate offers everyone else is! My eyes have been truly opened to a whole new world of accessing affiliate offers I would never of come across.

I cannot recommend the training in this section enough. And it is worth going through all the training videos first, before going back and watching them again and then apply the techniques. Finding product and niche ideas – that are profitable is absolutely KEY to success as an affiliate marketer. And you get the training in shed loads here….

It is so worth spending time finding lots of products, putting then through the Analysis Funnel to see if they are worth it. When you have a handful – you then have a set of real potential affiliate offers to start building your sites.

Phase 2:
Testing - i.e. setting up your initial sites to see what works
This whole section includes, finding a hosting company, buying domain names, and installing Wordpress - and what the best Wordpress theme to use is - with both a paid (THESIS) and free theme that is recommended.

Andrew Hansen shows you what the essential Wordpress plugins are, how to install them, and where necessary configure them.

One Wordpress plugin - the All In One plugin- has its own video - explaining, in the clearest way I have ever seen, how to set it up. Even for an old hack like me I had an “a-ha!” moment.
Phase 3 also covers, the real importance and setting up of Google analytics - so you can optimise your earnings, and how you go about it.

Next part of this section, Andrew Hansen explains the difference between a mini site - and authority site - and how to lay them out accordingly.

There is a lot of focus on Creating content for 2013 onwards in this course - and it is VERY important. This is ignored by so many courses, or just plain out of date. It is all about providing quality content that is NOT over optimised or too short - which is a big mistake post Panda/Penguin.

But, it doesn’t leave you hanging there - there is a video that goes into great detail on how to actually WRITE an article, the style, tone and flow. Then how to layout and optimise the post for both the readers and the search engines accordingly.

NB: IF YOU CAN’T BE BOTHERED WITH ALL THIS you can get it all done for you !
For $15 you can get the Wordpress site all set up, plugins installed and optimised as explained, and for just $10 you can get “Forever Affiliate” style article written for you.
You just say how many you want, pay the money, and off you go. Simples!

Finally this section starts the traffic generation and link building process. Special focus paid attention what to do RIGHT, and what to AVOID in 2013 onwards. Really important stuff, in the light of GOOGLE’s changes last year. So all about avoiding “red flags” to Google. i.e
Rule 1 - Build links “slowly” and gently and only with NO use of anchor text links in the first 4 to 6 weeks. Initially just 50 of these unique high quality backlinks in the first 4 to 6 weeks. All very Google friendly. And more importantly - dead easy to do.

PHASE 3:
All about building on the now proven success of the mini sites tested in Phase 2. Driving traffic and building on what you now know are money earning sites. These are your “assets”, and it is all about maximising those assets.

Again, all post Google Panda/Penguin/EMD update friendly off page SEO methods.

Conclusion:
This course is very detailed – and there is a lot of it. It took me a few sittings to go through it. But it is all quality, and at a level of detail that means you will find success if you follow the training. What I like is how Andrew sums up each video with the main points at the end.

If you are new to Affiliate marketing - then it may seem overwhelming at first. But I say - stick with it. Go through it ALL once, then go back and start applying what he teaches step by step. Don’t just jump in at the beginning.

The SEO and training is ALL NEW, not re-hashed old techniques that are less effective nowadays. This is all about succeeding in a post Google Panda, Penguin, EMD era – but more than this. It is future proof, and gives you a robust approach to if Google change the goal posts again.

Great for beginners and people new to affiliate marketing, but just as valuable to people who are more experiences, as will find a raft of products to promote you didn’t even know existed. This is so much more than just promoting the same old Clickbank products that EVERYBODY seems to promote. In addition, the techniques to rank, and drive traffic are geared for a post Panda/Penguin world.

If you are looking to build a genuine, long term online business, with a firm base, that will earn you a passive income of thousands a month, then this IS the course. It is not going to happen overnight.
BUT, If you are prepared to put the work in and follow the videos very carefully, stay focused, have the commitment then YOU will succeed. This is why I think this is the most exciting affiliate training I have seen– AND WILL get results, and get you to a place, where YES, you are earning thousands a month, doing nothing.

I can’t recommend it enough.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hey Lewis,Just wanted to say thanks for such a great and thorough review.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Well, lordkensal, that was one of the best reviews I've read in a long time!

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Inspiring review lordkensal!! I'm off to buy.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I bought and it looks good.

I wish he would have been a little more honest about expenses in setting these sites up. He says om sales lettter the only expense is the domain name.

What about the content?

Obviously we need original content. Can't be using PLR material!

That costs money to have someone write articles for you!

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hi Lordkensal,

That was a very helpful review. I am wondering about the affiliate offerings however. You said that it's not Clickbank. Can these affiliate offers be CPA offers. Thanks again.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hey there i tried it ITS CRAP! lol not worth your time :-)

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Most people hate writing articles, it takes lots of time to write them, and can be expensive to buy if that is your alternative, Sheihk 352!

Writing or buying original content is not something to look forward to doing!!!!

That is the major weakness to this system!!!!!!

Lord kensal in his review says to purchase an article for $10. However, I find it hard to believe that one 500 word article is enough to fill up 3-7 page wordpress sites as spoken about in the sales letter.

Anyone want to refute this!!!!!!!
I am also leery of the refund guarantee!

This is a membership site requiring username and password. Andrew can easily deny access to the site to anyone that he has to issue a refund to and not require proof that the buyer has not made profits from following the system!

Why won't he do that?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Cadillac,
You have me confused. What's your alternative to providing good content? If you don't want to do it yourself (and I certainly don't) then you need to find a way of outsourcing. It's going to cost money. Why is that a weakness of this system?

I have now watched about 10 of the videos. While I have been on the fringes of internet marketing for years Andrew presents research techniques that are completely new to me. Isn't this the value of the course - not the need to produce content which any web site based marketing proposition is going to require?

Keith

PS:
Brilliant review lordkensal

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Excuse my language, but HOLY SHIT I love this course ;)!

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Yes they can. Any kind of affiliate offer. The main thing with Forever Affiliate is it has a lot of focus on where you can find affiliate offers, and not JUST from the same old ones we old know. there is even a video on finding private affiliate offers. Doing keywaord research is all well and good, but finding potential affiliate offers that are not over subscribed can be difficult. Andrew really shows the way here.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

lordkensal,

I read reviews from other site, we can only access Andrew's team if we paid for the upsell ($497 I believe). Is that true? I wish I have enough money to buy the upsell and outsourcing to Andrew's team.

thanks

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

You can get access to someone to set up a site/install wordpress and all plugins etc for $15 and get an 800 quality content article for $10 through a service on Forever Affiliate. You don't need the upsell for this.
The upsell is basically a 6 week coaching - and a complete "do it all for you service", where they will find products, create sites, do backlink the works.
In addition it is probably one of THE best upsells - because, and I quote:
" I'll Coach You Until You Hit Your First $1000/mo

That's right. I've never done something so bold.

Once you're in this private program, you've got access to my ongoing assistance UNTIL you reach your first $1000/mo in affiliate income... however long that takes!

I realize everyone's time frames are different and I've beefed up my resources to be able to support you all the way until you reach that goal."

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Can anyone tell me how many original content articles are needed on a typical Forever affiliate site for lets say five pages????????

three page site?

seven page site?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Does anyone know name of the affiliate network which shows up on sales page video?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

For the off-site SEO, are there any tools that need to be purchased?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

sheikh352

Can we access the team without buying the upsell?
I'm thinking about outsourcing though.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Andrew recommends about 8 articles

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

There is loads of stuff on where to find products to promote. This is one of the things that makes the course so powerful (and sets it above most courses). In fact the first part "Phase 1" is almost in 2 sections, with one set of videos on keyword research analysis and the 2nd part all about different sources and methods to find affiliate offers. AND NOT just the same old ones everybody else is trying to promote. Gave me a ton of ideas.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I recommend anything Andrew puts out, he is the real deal. I have proof of income over at my blog and also bonuses for this course if anyone is interest. I have used his strategies and can assist anyone get results with his teachings combined with mine.

I can truly vouch for him as a successful student of his.

Thanks,

Chris

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Hi Chris, could you point me towards the proof of income on your blog?

I'd be interested to see what success you've had with Andrew's methods and strategies.

Cheers

Adrian

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I decided to buy Forever Affiliate. I'm glad I did. It has taken me two days just to go through Theory and Phase 1. This is done so well and so clearly that I am just watching the videos and understanding and remembering what Andrew is teaching. I hate videos and usually try to take notes or read the transcripts. Not this time. The info is so clear I am remembering it all and it is a lot of info. That's a testament to Andrew being a really good, detailed teacher. Everything is making sense to me now.

There is one section that shows you how to calculate how much a particular product can potentially make you per month. That info all by itself is a gem to me. Maybe more experienced marketers already know how to do that, but in all the learning I have been doing through the years I never knew how to do this.

I have a couple of sites that make me money. Very little but they do make money. After using Andrew's calculations I realized why I make very little money. It's not because I did anything wrong, it's just that those products from day one were never going to make me the kind of money I want to make no matter what I do, and believe me I've spent a lot of time on them. Imagine knowing upfront what you could make? You could eliminate a lot of products because they are not worth your time and effort and really go to work on those that have great $ potential.

Anyway that one video on calculating how much you'll make in a month was well worth the money for this course. But there is much, much more that I've learned as I've gone through the other videos. What I've learned will keep me from spinning my wheels and working my arse off for things that won't ever get me where I want to go.

I'm looking forward to phase 2 and getting my sites up and running. Running the right way from day one, which seems to be the focus of this section.

As I mentioned I have many more videos to watch in the next phases but I just thought I'd let you know what I think so far, for whatever it is worth.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

I'm not really a massive fan of video but I'm just finished watching up to the end of phase 2 (I admit I did fast forward through a few of the vids as it was info I already knew). I'm taking a few notes as I go so that I don't have to watch them over again.

I wouldn't say the course is revolutionary as this is the kind of stuff myself and alot of marketers who are successful are already doing, there are alot of 'Forever Affiliate' type sites out there already. I would say however that it's obvious Andrew is teaching from experience, and he teaches alot of tips I haven't seen taught before.

If you're not already making money with niche blogs I think this could be the course that fills in the gaps. It certainly is alot more comprehensive and up to date than strategies such as 'Google Sniper'. I think one of the main reasons people fail in affiliate marketing is because they don't pick the right product, and this is something that is addressed in alot of detail in this course.

One of the most useful videos is the one about how to find private affiliate programs - that tip is gold, I kind of wish Andrew had kept that one to himself though!

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Thanks, everybody, for all of the helpful reviews.

Does he cover any backlink/website promotion techniques post-penguin?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

yes he does.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

what about the tools? everyone say about the course. do we need any software to start with?

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

No you don't need any software to start out with. Don't believe in softwares when he teaches you how to do the stuff manually.

Re: Forever Affiliate By Andrew Hansen?
 

Andrew is an honest as as credible as they come. Not because I'm a fellow Aussie, but because the guy lives it day in day out, and so he knows his stuff.

I've been doing this over 10 years, and of all the marketers and products I've come across during those years, I can count the credible, honest marketers on one hand, and Andrew is in the top 3 for sure.
