Marketing with Anik 2.0. What exactly is it?

by Abraham L
21 replies
Hey guys.

This seems to be pretty cool. It's an IM guru, and all that. And he will build a profitable business LIVE. I think that's great.

But. What exactly is he building? Is it a CPA business, Clickbank, Amazon, product creation?

I can't find the exact business model he's going to teach anywhere.


(btw, if you close the window, the pop up will come up, and if you choose to stay on the page, you can get the product for $27 instead. In case you're interested in saving $10 )

    Hi, I purchased and reviewed the product yesterday.

    You basic purchase gets you the following -

    Lazy Tubester webinar,, ClickBank Overnight Expert & Affiliate Classroom (worth the purchase in my opinion just for this)

    You also get 15 live webinars, and the ability to watch past webinars you may of missed.

    There are also three up-sells, costing $197, $197 & $97.

    I love training like this (delivered by webinars). So for me, it's worth the purchase.

    Josh Monroe.

      That's exactly what I'm asking =)

      What's the content of the 15 webinars? What business model is he teaching? Product creation, cpa, clickbank, amazon, bl*ckhat, I mean... That's exactly what I need to know =)

        Well, I haven't been to any of the new webinars yet, the next is five hours from now, so I'm sure I will be attending and will be able to come back with some feedback.

        BUT in regards to what he is teaching, it's a mix of everything really. I've just been through the past three webinars, and they were -

        Online Goldmine Review

        List building, YouTube marketing, and a particular traffic source Anik used when he first got started.

        So, it looks like something new every week which is great, as over the 15 sessions, you will learn 15 different things instead of the course being based around just one thing. Now that in my opinion is value for money!

          Sounds like it's probably a good value for someone that already has no problem with lack of focus, but won't help at all for those that have that common problem. That's too bad since lack of focus is the main reason people need coaching.

          I for one am tired of people selling apples as oranges, even though it's common practice and considered acceptable by many Warriors.

          He talks in the video about how he charges thousands for just a few days of coaching but you're getting 15 weeks of it here, plus all his past products, for a measly $37 (before he drops the price upon exit). Such a deal. The problem is, you aren't getting personal one on one access to him.

          If you can't have even a 5 minute one on one with your "coach" over a 15 week period of "personal coaching", guess what; you don't have a coach. What you have is a webinar series; might be good, but don't call it coaching.

          Ever since Anik emailed me (along with several other Warriors), about a clickbank product that claimed it would show you a special, secret "loophole" allowing those who knew how to take advantage of it to get "Free Facebook Ads", and it turned out the "loophole" was just monetizing your ads with CPA offers, making the "Free" claim a total lie, I have been unsubscribed from him; I tend to do that when someone sends me an email containing a big fat lie just to make a commission.

          So it isn't a shock that he would sell webinars and call them "coaching".

          Regarding the fact that one of the things you like is that it seems to be about learning 15 different things rather than just focusing on one method, perhaps that's good for you, but the overall thrust of his video is how most people fail because they don't have a coach, and a good coach does not throw 15 business models at you in 15 weeks; quite the opposite; they make you stick to one until it's making you a good living, then scale it up, before moving on.

          The fact is, most of us already have multiple courses about many models, some bad but many quite good; the problem isn't lack of information, or lack of variety in the methods we know to make money; the problem is lack of focusing in on one long enough to overcome any obstacles and see a real profit. A bunch more methods isn't going to help; it's more likely to add to the confusion.

          Bottom line: Anik spends several minutes pitching us on how he's discovered the real difference between his successful and failing students was the successes had a coach when they were starting out.

          Once he's established that, he offers his 15 week "coaching" as the solution you need to make sure you're another of the successful students, not one of the failing ones. Problem is, if you need personal coaching, as he says, his program won't help at all, regardless of how good the content is.

            Well, like you say it's as close as personal coaching you can get without paying thousands.

            But you missed out a crucial point, each webinar has a question button which you can click if you get stuck, you simply type your question and they get back to you. That gives it the 'personal touch'.

            Without products like these, most marketers wouldn't EVER come that close to the 'guru' so I think it s value for money, not to mention you can go back at any time and re-watch the videos at your leisure.

            For $37 it's a bargain, you'd pay much more to attend a real life webinar.

              As said above, for $37 you're getting 15 weeks of these coaching sessions plus (my words) a crap-ton of extras, including $5k of other courses and the 15 videos from the LAST MWA session which started in January 2012 I believe.

              100% PERFECT for n00bies who aren't yet making a dollar online. Very newbie orientated, but when you're DONE you'll have a better understanding of IM than many others and you'll probably be able to start pumping out some cash! (Once you apply yourself and take action, no such thing as overnight riches if that's what you're hoping this is)

              I was a member of the last one - really for the sake of checking it out - and it's good stuff, definitely recommended for those who arent yet making money online.

              While they don’t have an ITINERARY of the topics covered right now, here are the 15 they covered in the last one – which you have access to as a mwa 2 member

              1. Welcome/Intro
              2. Facebook Traffic, the Ins and Outs
              3. The Opt-In Business Model
              4. Search Engine Optimization – Blogs
              5. Special Guest Presetation: CPA Power
              6. Article Marketing
              7. Email Ads and Solos
              8. Traffic, Rankings, Leads and Exposure
              9. 5 Simple Tweaks to increase your income by 50%
              10. Guest Jimmy Kim: Money is in your list!
              11. Finding your target market with FB ads and setting up squeeze pages
              12. Free Traffic Still Exists
              13. Youtube Marketing
              14. Live Q&A on what’s been covered so far
              15. Crash Course on What’s Important in the first few days of your auto responder and opt-in strategy
              16. Final Week/Module: Wrapping Everything Up

              I think I got those right, I just looked at the screenshots from the replays and in some cases watched a few minutes of each to get a feel for the subject matter for you guys.


              Keep in mind - these are the OLD ones from the last session - as you can see - it covers things VERY nicely, and I would imaging the new one will cover even more - since you have access to these old ones as a member of MWA2


              Hope this helps!

              I don't believe I said "it's as close as personal coaching you can get without paying thousands". I'm pretty sure I was clear that this is nothing like personal coaching.

              What I said was that Anik tells us his students pay thousands for a few days of coaching, making the apples and oranges comparison to 15 weeks of "coaching" (read "webinars") for only $37.

              I didn't miss the point about the question button; every free or paid webinar has that; big whup. The chance to ask a question on a webinar that hundreds or thousands of others are also on, isn't the equivalent of having a personal one-on-one coaching session; that should be self-evident.

              Even if it were a phone session with the chance to have a real exchange with follow-up clarifying questions/concerns allowed, you are competing for the host's time with hoards of other "coaching clients". It would be absurd to expect more than a fleeting few seconds of attention given to each student needing help.

              The reason coaching works so well is the in-depth nature of it, due to the personal relationship (a function of one-on-one time); the student is more likely to follow through with someone who they know will remember what they said they'd do, and press them for reasons if they didn't, determining personal obstacles, and help them get back on track.

              It just isn't coaching if it's missing the core ingredient; the personal relationship.The host in this situation can't be expected to remember the names of most students, let alone what your individual challenges, talents, and skills are, nor what you promised to get done before the next "coaching session".

              Regarding the supposed opportunity to get "close to the "guru"", how close are you going to get in a weekly webinar? It's purely the illusion of closeness; nothing more.

              Besides, what most newbies need isn't to "get close to the "guru"". They need a real coach who "gets them" and asks tough questions that get to the heart of what's preventing them from making good money already, not the chance to rub elbows (but not really) with someone famous. Not a once a week opportunity to type a question in a box and hope someone gives more than a 2 line response.

              You don't have to save up thousands to get a coach, if you're willing to "settle" for one who isn't famous. There are a number of good people here on the forum who sell coaching, and guess what; they actually deliver coaching.

              How many of Anik's dozens of thousands of "students" he referred to in the video are just people that bought a product from him once? How many are people whose name he remembers, or ever even heard once?

              I didn't say it wasn't a good value, just that it isn't what it's being called. I understand that's common, but that doesn't make it okay in my book, and it's obviously not honest.

              Why not find a non-guru coach that tells the truth? Nobody should settle for a guru when they could have the real deal.

    I bought the course early this year.

    Marketing With Anik is a great course worth my 4 star ratings. But in terms of simplicity, I have to say Mark Ling's AffiloBlueprint is much better and truly deserve my 6 star ratings.

    AffiloBlueprint is NOT a coaching program but a simple yet powerful step-by-step training program by Mark Ling. When Mark says he teaches you how to make money as an affiliate, he REALLY teaches you how to make money as an affiliate.

    From A to Z.

    There is no mention of any product creation, JV partnerships, solo ads or any of those so-called loophole glitch you saw in many other programs.

    Best of all, he also has a forum where members can help one another and even send their sites for his critique. Recently sent my site on saving marriages and following his advice, I got 8 sales and made a total of $220 including 2 recurring fees.

    Although AffiloBlueprint now costs $197 as compared to Marketing With Anik at $37 ( I got it for $77 on launch day), believe me when I say you won't regret investing in it.

    Don't mean to draw comparison and side track you from Marketing With Anik to AffiloBlueprint. But that is my frank opinion having invested in both programs and implemented the strategies of both.

    Obviously the one that helps me to understand and make money faster deserve more and better ratings from me.

    Wish I have come across it earlier so that I do not have to spend so much money buying course after course.

      Mark should really be paying you for what you are doing. Nearly every thread, you pop up and mention AffiloBlueprint and why it's better for whatever reason.

      Really, I've never seen someone so persistent in promoting a single product without any benefit..?

          Let me ask you a question.

          If you found something that works and makes you money, will you not be passionate about it?

          Doesn't have to be $1000 or even $100. Even a small $20 can make a difference to your morale and persistency.

          How I feel about AffiloBlueprint is EXACTLY how you felt about Matt Carter's Rapid Profit Formula. I haven't joined RPF so I won't comment on it.

          But given the fact that Matt is Mark's student, I do totally agree with you that niche marketing is the way all newbies should start. It is not the only nor best way but it is among the simplest and most effective ways based on my experience.

          I also like Andrew Hansen's Unstoppable Affiliate. Both these courses open my eyes wider to spectrum and profitability of affiliate marketing. Specially networks outside Clickbank that many marketers have never even heard of but constantly used by big companies.

          This is so much better and profitable than creating products that teaches people how to make money solely from Clickbank and build massive lists from it when you yourself haven't made any as so many so-called gurus are doing.

    I guess changing it from coaching to course would be a better fit? Nevertheless I really do assume that those who are signing up with Anik 2.0 have an idea that it is going to be a webinar courses because he mentioned "watching over my shoulder".

    Because if he does "watching over my shoulder" for every students he got; his hair will become white before even finishing his 15 weeks of "coaching".

    Nevertheless; I never bought anything from him so I can't say his materials are good or not; but I do hope that those who join it will get something out of it and not regret paying that $37 because for some out there; $37 is not a small money..

    But hell.. you need to spend to make money most of the time.. be it in term of financial, sacrifices, time or effort..

    The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself.....

      Spend money to make money. Usually when you spend, you earn fast. I like my money fast so I spend.

      It's not compulsory to have coaching if you do not want to. Unless you are totally at loss in internet marketing.

      What you need is a simple step-by-step blueprint. More importantly, it has to be what you enjoy doing. It's no point joining a coaching program only to discover that the business model is not what you really want nor too complicated for you.

    The problem with all this 'ask me any question you like' approach is that the newbie rarely knows which questions to ask. They lack the overall picture and so answers to questions of detail seldom help. I've seen Anik's stuff before and he's a great marketer but, I'm sorry to say, it didn't help me to make the millions I was hoping for...

      Why not start with hundreds first, and then thousands, 5 and 6 figures and THEN millions? Sounds like you had unrealistic expectations for how much you could make in 15 weeks. What did you do with your online business, what action did you take?

    I can't find the exact business model he's going to teach anywhere.


    (btw, if you close the window, the pop up will come up, and if you choose to stay on the page, you can get the product for $27 instead. In case you're interested in saving $10 )
    I would not touch any product promoted by Anik Singal. His Profit Jackpot product despite all his guarantees is a disaster and with upsells cost me $1046. He offered me Marketing with Anik for free as a trade off but as I said I would't touch anything of his again.

    I think for the money - the pure amount of content, it is good value. I consider it like having a library of resources and tools. I have done a video review that walks through the whole thing if anyone is interested.
