Alex Goad's Affiliate Payload..

Ok, just managed to finish the PDF off, taken me over 4 hours or more, some parts I had to re-read twice to take it in properly.

My initial thoughts are that for the price, this is good stuff, although it's absolutely not for the faint hearted and not for beginners, no matter what Alex stipulates. I can say now as well, if your concerned this is the just some rehash of another product, it's not, this pretty much , bar the chapter on Adwords and how to create keyword lists is completely unique I think.

For those that have no idea about the product, this is essentially CPA for dummies, creating an ROI from the CPA networks by driving traffic to them via various sources including PPC . The book covers a huge number of variations on leveraging the CPA networks by essentially brokering traffic.

Some things you need to know in advance, you are going to need to have a solid understanding of Adwords and how to implement , test, split test etc a lot of campaigns.

You are going to need to be more visible than most systems, in that you may even need to get on the phone and deal with CPA networks before you even start. You are going to be appointed a manager for each network you join and via MSN communicate with him on a number of issues.

You will have to become accostomed to a whole new set of "can I - can't I" rules as to what techniques you can use to drive traffic to each individual networks, doesn't sound like they take kindly to you breaching the T&C, and you would not even be doing anything strange to get banned, it seems some simply do not accept certain standard IM methods.

You are also going to need to spend a considerable amount of time on getting started with this, especially if you're going to attempt the more complex methods described later in the book, including the creation of your own incentived websites. I can see a good couple of weeks of work going into this realisticly before you're really ready to hit this hard.

There's a lot of content in the book, it's about 300 pages, that shouldn't put you off a such, there's a lot of white space, large text, he's kept each paragraph digestable , I did like the distinct lack of fluff and filler, total % of filler, I would say 1%, the other 99% is "how to".

For the record, Alex could do with a spell checker, it's peppered with typos, In fact the whole thing sort of feels like it's been written "on the fly", it feels like he's just sat there at 3:00am and spilled his guts, literallly typing out each process he had tried as it popped into his head.

I doubt the entire 300 pages had more than a cursory scan as far as editing or spell checking. Do I care, no not really, I would rather have 300 pages of usable information with some typos etc than 300 pages of perfect prose with no decent content.

The bottom line is I guess, will you make a ROI, can you generate the traffic for less cost than the CPA networks will pay you for your leads, I guess only time will tell,but the potential seems so on paper, but of course so far we only have the author of the books word on it.

Bottom line, If your even half interested in CPA networks, then this is absolutely worth it, I've already learnt a few things I had no idea even existed within this area, It's catagorically not regurgitated content, this is the first time I've seen this much information provided on CPA networks in a manner which makes it digestable, it's a fair price for the product, if your asking for a refund on this, it's because your a lame refunder, it's that simple.

I guess in my rambling conclusion, and I apologise I'm no wordsworth, yes it's definatley worth a punt, but not for beginners, Alex is talking out of his ASS if he seriously thinks the average newbie wouldn't get completley lost in this process, if you have no idea how to even create profitable Adword campaigns etc yet, then this isn't for you, if you don't have solid time to invest and some money to invest then it's probably not for you.

If you are at least at the level where you can manage an PPC campaigns etc, then I think some people could do very well out of this product, the potential is there, but like absolutely everything else, it's not as simple as the sales copy suggests, there's some workload involved here, but in my opinion, it's worth it.

I will be giving the basic premise a whirl very shortly, it's an area of affiliate marketing I've not given enough credence to, Alex has provided a pretty solid blue print and not left many questions, I'm giving it a solid thumbs up for the right kind of person.

Please note I've had no time to even start viewing the videos he included.

It's available here: Affiliate Payload : Countdown Initiated!

For the record, I have never met Alex Goad, never talked to him, not even via e-mail, I've just read helpful feedback on products before on this forum whilist never registering and I wanted to perhaps do the same.

Good luck and all the best

There is no content at all available in the upsell yet, he says that's due to server load, err, no comment, sounds fishy frankly, more like he's just have not had time to get them up yet, but that's fine, no biggie, there is so much content to digest at this point, and I've not even started on the videos he provided.

hey guys,

Yeah I bought the product yesterday. I'm a member of Alex's players with money club, and while things there haven't exactly gone swimmingly, Alex has proved to us guys beyond a shadow of a doubt that he REALLY knows his stuff.

There's definitely money to be made by using the affiliate payload techniques, but I agree with some users here, it does feel thrown together.

Still it's all about the knowledge inside, and what we do with it...
