Looking for a new affiliate marketing course to give me direction or guidance.

Good on you for wanting to get out of the rat race and get into making some serious money.

If you do a search on google you will find some very good courses and other places to learn affililate marketing. There again, I think it's always better to do some research on google on things like the hottest products and the hottest web sites.

Most bigger websites offer Affiliate programs. Sometimes it's good just to jump on in there and do it.

Are you already know how to get buyer keyword for your affiliate review sites?

If you don't, I'll take some time later to explain everything that I know about keyword research.

If you already know how to make high converting product review, you can combine it with buyer keyword to get review title which laser targeted on buyer.

Why you need this?

1. Buyer keyword easier to convert.
2. You can use free sites like squidoo to convert (they already have everything you need)
3. You only need little work on your part.

I'll be back in about 4 hours later if you need me. After this, I'll do my exam and after that, I'll surely trying to help.

I've just read your review.

Here is my 2 cent:

- Your review is definitely turn features into benefits, but it is kind of boring in my opinion. My advice is study about copywriting a bit. Learn on how to create story or at least learn ice breaker phrase.

- Your review title "Is the Callaway Upro Go The Best on The Market? Find Out Below" --> I think it is less attention grabbing. I would say it like this:

"Warning: This Callaway Upro will Make Your Friends Upset"

"Golfer? Ready to Improve Your Games Score with Callaway Upro?" or

"Is Callaway Upro better than [other similar product]?"

- Is it gain good review on amazon? How much the potential traffic it get if you put it at first position on google?

- Your call to action is lacking something...

first, it don't appear like a link (in my opinion it looks more like a headline). Link gaining more conversion if you make it look like link. Which is blue, with underline.

And try to add '>>' sign (&raquo) at the end of your call to action. Make it in center of page instead of in right of the pictures.

- There are some feature haven't turned to benefit yet "You get the pleasure of planning your next shot on a 240 X 320 high resolution color screen."

Give the reason why this is good thing for your buyer.

- I need to scroll way to bottom to take a look to your buy button. You can put some button that lead your visitor to amazon review page. Cookies will placed and you don't have to worry about commission. You can add call to action like this:

"Click here to read more real user testimonial >>"

- Your testimonial don't look convincing at all. Make it on blockquote, make it italic, add name, add photo, add stars.

- If I can look at it more, maybe I can give you more advice. I need to take a bath now.

Tips: I want you to improve your call to action, make call to action visible every time I hit 'page down' button. And add picture which is highly relevant with the product. I think golf course picture is a little irrelevant.

Best Tips: Don't stick to my advice, track and monitor your change, improve it. You can't improve on what you can't measure.

Hope this little things help.

That's good advise. Downloaded the report. Thanks!

I just do little competition research dude, I find this term 'callaway upro review' with 590 searches / month being dominated by pcmags with 56 external link, with 10 page rank, 9 page rank, 8 page rank, 7...

What I mean is, it is hard to rank for... Find out another product if you can which don't have any relation with hobbies (hobbies related product usually hard to rank for due to competition).

The most crucial phase is finding right product in my opinion..

There's a million of em, thats the problem which way to go, this is a tough palce for someone with ADD. I'd say find the one with the least hype and someone who can prove that they are actually practicing what they preach.

I think that is better. But my opinion isn't important. What important is the results.

I suggest you to track every link on your site. You can use bit.ly for free tracker and analyzer.

And what's important second is, what do you think about your review sites now? Are you having more faith with it now?

Strange but true, if I feel that my sites will convert a lot, it is convert a lot. If I feel that there is something missing, I'll look at mirror, say to myself "I want to know what element to fix in my review site tomorrow" and go to sleep.

The next day I know what I want to fix.

Hey Bro. I don't do much of the affiliate marketing that I think you are into much. I would rather have huge companies want to advertise on my site and bank serious bucks while doing things I am passionate about. But a lot of the models are similar. A very knowledgeable and successful guy in affiliate marketing though is Glen Allsop at ViperChill.com He has some killer stuff there for free. And a course as well I believe. Killer content that he put's out that you should benefit from.

Best of luck bro. Awesome that you are taking control of your destiny and making moves!

p.s. Squidoo is far from dead. It is just dead in the way some try to use it.

CJ, I too have been struggling for a couple of years now and am hung up on article marketing. Am right now seriously considering going with Wealthy Affiliate. It looks to me like a end all program that should even guarantee results. It really covers affiliate marketing, yet it does not seem to your answer.
What do you suspect was not covered by them to make you successful?
