Affiliate Marketing is Getting Tighter

Comments September 22, 2009 / Posted in Affiliate marketing

After months of reading and studying affiliate marketing, I’ve had enough for the moment.  This stuff is like trying to take a sip from a fire hose.  At some point, you have to put it down and get to work.

I canceled my Affiliate Classroom 2.0 membership because I felt that I already knew most of what its courses teach.  They are really into “over delivering” at AC2.0 (Lurn, Inc.) but for seasoned internet marketers like me, who get blasted with free reports, free courses, webinars, free software, free trials, etc. every day of the week it becomes more of a distraction than a benefit.   My opinion is that the AC2.0 format doesn’t have enough direction.  It’s got a lot of great content scattered throughout the site (self-paced courses, previously recorded webinars featuring successful IMs, videos, etc.) but it’s so voluminous that it’s easy for one to get “paralysis from analysis.”  At $97 a month, I couldn’t see myself sticking with it.

I may still get Commission Blueprint 2.0.  This course is a one time payment of $497, but in reading their website, it seems very structured and directional.  It has video lessons, pdf files, and resources to help you create a professional looking website.  It’s affiliate marketing all under one roof.  I like that.  The free report they gave out prior to the launch encapsulates the CB2.0 strategy.   It’s one of those “keeper” free reports.  The guys at CB2.0 are known for bypassing the hype and getting down to business, so this free report contains some real, “actionable” information to help you make money in affiliate marketing.  Send me a Reply if you want a copy.

I’ll post the CB2.0 method next (just finishing 10 straight hours of IM today… very tired).

    Very good article, and you are right when you said that, at some point, you have to put it down and get to work.It is the best when you learn and practice in the same time so you can do a good job and see for yourself the issues that you might find along the road you are going to.
