The Truths & Myths of Affiliate Marketing Courses.
A Comprehensive Look at My Success & Failures.

Background
My Goal is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of several Affiliate Marketing Courses, as well as recommendations based on my personal success. To help educate those who are overwhelmed on finding the right course.
  • I have gone through many programs and my recommendations are based ONLY on programs that I have personally completed and had success with.
  • I completed all programs and have applied their concepts while working 60+ hours/week as a Paramedic.
  • I've personally invested over $15,000 in tuition fees across 12 different courses and applications.
  • I narrowed the 12 down to the BEST 3 courses that yielded the quickest results.
  • I focused on a diverse group of courses to fit every budget and financial situation.
​
Criteria
12 courses evaluated with a variety of applications, processes, and financial requirements to get started. (A little bit of something for everyone.)
  • I researched hundreds of programs, reviews and success rates, which I narrowed down to the original 12. I then went through those 12 and narrowed it further to the BEST 3.
  • First and foremost, I only trialed programs that had a minimum of a 60-Day money-back Guarantee. Guarantees are typically a good sign that they back their product.
  • Hundreds of students of each program interviewed to learn about their personal success, struggles, and overall experiences.
  • Combed through hundreds of reviews and forum entries for each program to find common themes in both the positives and negatives.
  • Research on the Guru's overall track record, personal success in the actual course that they teach, complaints, company track record, and if any legal issues.
  • Each program was applied in the same format. Go through entire course completely, then apply it using the same budgets and man hours, while utilizing each program's support network when needed.
  • My case study spanned approximately 2 and 1/2 years for all 12 programs collectively.  There was an average of 3-4 weeks of "classroom" time for each course (part-time), prior to implementing each concept.
  • Several programs were run simultaneously as it was able to provide the best comparative results.
  • Each program was given 6 months to "thrive". At the 6 month mark, if there was no success in any form, the program was terminated and labeled as a "failure". This doesn't mean the program didn't work, It just means in my eyes, it didn't work fast enough for my focus on finding a fairly quick method to making money online.

The Myths
  • There are FREE programs out there that will put you in a Lamborghini in 2 weeks.
  • Someone will do all the work for you and you can essentially have an ATM machine on auto-pilot.
  • Getting started in your own online business requires ZERO money.
  • Creating a successful business can be accomplished with 5 minutes a day and a few clicks of your mouse.
  • If the "Guru" makes $100,000/month while sitting in a hot tub, you are guaranteed to do the same.
  • If a "Guru" is truly successful, he/she will teach you the business for FREE.

The Cold Hard TRUTH
  • It's going to take some money to get started. In both tuition for a reputable education course and to get the business off the ground. There is no such thing as FREE when it comes to being an entrepreneur. It takes some money.
  • It takes work. You're going to have failures. You're going to have small victories. You're going to have big victories. It will be a rollercoaster for sure and it will take a TON of work to get there. There is no automatic ATM machine out there. 
  • The faster you can understand that there is no such thing as a truly free program that will teach you what you truly need to know to be successful, the faster you will actually be successful. People get bogged down by unrealistic expectations because they are sold unrealistic expectations.
  • No, you won't be in a Lamborghini by next week.
  • No, someone won't build your business for you while you sit on your couch and click a mouse. Why would they even do that? 
  • If a "Guru" has truly become successful, it's because they worked their ass off to get there! Can you achieve the same results? Absolutely! But it takes hard work and some money. That's just the hard truth about it! Can't stress that enough!

Reality
  • Are there some real and honest "gurus" out there? Of course there are. 
  • ​Are there legitimate educational programs out there? Absolutely! I found Them!
  • Are there any legitimate FREE programs? Not ONE that will scale 100%
  • Can you legitimately make money online with affiliate marketing? YES!
  • Can you make that money with minimal work & no money? Absolutely NOT!

Let Us Be Real AGAIN!
  • Legitimate & Successful programs cost money. There's no way around it. If the info out there was FREE, everyone would be doing it and it would be over-saturated.
  • If you want Good, Quality information that can be applied successfully, you're going to have to pay for it!
  • If you don't have to pay for it, you should be asking yourself if the person is truly successful and legit. 
  • There is not one single Guru out there who will give their success secrets out for FREE, if they are truly who they say they are.

Now that we've gotten the myths and facts of affiliate marketing out of the way, we need to look at the actual successful person who is teaching the program.
Without taking any course or even knowing much, you need to find someone who has HUGE PERSONAL VALUE. Someone who has a decent price tag on their course, can fetch that price tag all day long, because they are worth it! And they can back it up! That is the single biggest sign for a truly successful program with REAL results!
If someone is giving their stuff away for FREE, that typically means they have yet to be truly successful, and they have ZERO VALUE to the industry. Think about how much it costs to get a successful businessman or politician to speak at a University or how much it costs to attend a Tony Robbins seminar. HUGE amounts of money. WHY?? THEY HAVE A HUGE PERSONAL VALUE! And they ALWAYS DELIVER SUCCESS and can BACK THEIR PRODUCT! The more successful they are, the more people want to learn from them. The higher the demand, the higher their value. Simple concept. Again, if they promise you the world for next to nothing...they have ZERO Value.

What are YOU worth?
Think of your own personal value. As you get more experience in a career and/or more education, do you go into the job market seeking out higher-paying jobs that you qualify for? Do you ask for more money at your current job as you climb up the ladder and get your Master's degree? Or do you work for FREE? Would you go to school, get a Master's degree, and then go volunteer as a Lawyer? Would you volunteer as a financial consultant? It just doesn't make sense. Why do people volunteer? Because they have ZERO EXPERIENCE in something and they need to get it to be successful. They have ZERO PERSONAL VALUE and the easiest way is to volunteer or do an unpaid internship. Seriously think about that! Let that sink in!
Almost there, I promise! Stick with me here! I've got the goods!

Real-Life Education in the Digital World
Think of it in terms of college. Sure, you can educate yourself and learn things via Google and YouTube, but you won't have anything to show for it and you definitely won't have any reputable guidance. That's why colleges exist. Simply put, college is guided and mentored education that provides you with a "certification" to prove you are valuable and that you  have learned something from a reputable professor. It gives you value when you come out of college and look for a job. Online educational courses in entrepreneurship are the exact same thing. The only difference is that with these programs, you will spend a tiny fraction of what college tuition costs, and you will learn from someone who has had actual SUCCESS in doing what they teach. 


Any successful professional who has made their fortune online, will sell their info to teach and mentor you for a cost. It's NOT free. Again, you have to be real about it! Below I will list the Top 3 Programs  that have worked for me.

Again, to be clear, I have narrowed 100's of programs down to 12 courses and spent upwards of $12,000 combined. I completed all 12 and applied them. After 2.5 years, I have come up with my Top 3 List. 


Below are my personally tested TOP 3 Affiliate Marketing Educational Programs that I feel are worth investing in:

ALL 3 Programs Come With a Risk-Free 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee.

#1   Super Affiliate Marketing:
This is one of the more expensive programs (just under $1K), but I put it at #1 because it was the one that required the least amount of money, work (hours involved), and yielded the quickest results. This program is taught and mentored by a man who quit his $70K job and scaled his affiliate business to 7 figures within ONE YEAR! Incredible PROVEN results! Backed up by Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc., this program has quite the positive reputation. Even Dateline's Chris Hansen did a special episode on this program and its success. Countless success stories, I had a hard time finding any kind of negative review on this guy. That spoke volumes to me. Also, he is personal with you, real and honest. Probably one of the most honest personalities I have encountered while doing this. With this program, I was able to double my investment within the first month, eventually scaling to just shy of 6 figures within a year. Now, I should disclose that I accomplished this while still working 60 hours a week as a Paramedic, so if I put even double the effort into it...I'm sure I would have scaled much greater and faster. I love what I do, I just wanted some side money to live easier and have some fun. If you can handle the cost, I recommend this program. Tax returns are here, why not put some of it to good use. Nothing to lose on this. In agreement with the mentor, he has agreed to extend an exclusive offer for my readers. Click HERE to GET STARTED!

#2  Commission Hero:
This program is very similar to #1, but with a slight twist. It is similar in price, at just under $1K. It goes a little more in-depth into affiliate marketing campaign strategies with click funnels and other ways to drive traffic to landing pages. Click funnels are pretty neat and I definitely learned a lot about something I had ZERO knowledge about. Easy to follow program. The mentor of this program has proven results and he is not short of verified proof to show he is the real deal. Again, I found it difficult to find a negative review on this program. What makes this program unique, is that the mentor explains ways to achieve results, with or without ads. In other words, there are both paid and FREE methods to achieve results. Obviously the free route takes time to organically achieve results, but if you choose to expedite with going the ad route (which doesn't have to be much...sometimes a simple ad at $10/day converts)...he gives you a proven template on the psychological triggers and click responses of how people going through the ad process. It's pretty neat to see how deep it goes and how complex it really is. Definitely opened my eyes to ad campaigns that I thought were super simple. This is what separates his program from the others...most of the others don't understand many of his concepts, therefore restricting their potential. I recommend this program for someone who needs more structure with templates and "in-your-face" proof of what works. Countless success stories and true testimonials. As for me, I took some earnings from my #1 pick and I rolled it into the methods taught in this program, and I realistically saw some smaller results within 3 weeks and it scaled pretty quickly after that, taking about 6 months to reach just shy of 5 figures/month. Not too bad for a part-time effort. You can jump in a FREE webinar with no obligation at all and see if this is right for you. I have worked with the mentor to arrange for an exclusive opportunity for my readers. CLICK HERE to get access to the FREE LIMITED TIME Offer through this blog.

#3   E-Book Marketing:
​For those with a smaller budget...this program is for YOU! This is A unique way to make money with e-books. Coming in at A THIRD of the cost of the other two programs, with a monthly payment option of under $100, this program will be a lot easier to swallow. Okay, so in a nutshell, this program talks about how he wrote a small 18 page e-book on how to fix your credit and brought it to $50 Million a year in sales. It gives you all the tips and tricks on how to market the e-book and get the most out of it. What I like about this concept is that you can literally write about any passion you have...how to ice fish, how to bulk up your arms, how to fix your marriage...the possibilities are endless! The only thing is that it takes time to write content and proofread and get all that done. Again, I am being realistic here...it takes time and effort and WORK! You gotta do the work and you WILL be rewarded! Nothing ever comes easy...and if some guru is trying to tell you that...they're flat out lying! So, even though this is a great value, I put it at #3 because it does take time to write and get it right. That being said, it's not necessarily painful to write about something you are passionate about. You can be as creative as you like. It's truly a freelance method that ANYONE can do. It's all electronic. No inventory. No purchasing any materials or getting things mass produced. Minimal training cost and then just a few bucks for ads. As for me, I created a e-book about my career in EMS and focused on mental health of First Responders. I made some money on it with minimal marketing effort. The reason for this was that I mainly marketed it towards my colleagues at a discounted price...basically to get feedback on it. This will allow me to improve on the content and then re-launch it at a higher price and really escalate the ad campaign. One more bonus is that there are ZERO upsells. You have the option of a one-time lifetime membership at a significantly discounted price (under $300), or a recurring monthly fee (just under $100)...both are reasonable and easy to manage. For me, I chose the lifetime membership, as it was equivalent to only 3 monthly payments. It was a no-brainer, but out of respect for those who are in challenging financial situations...I get totally get it. Once you are in, you get content for life...no additional purchases. No upsells, Really nothing to lose on this one. CLICK HERE for your EXCLUSIVE OFFER!

So there you have it! I have shared my top 3 list of affiliate marketing educational programs that have worked well for me. Combined, they have generated well into the 6 figures for me, just by implementing their methods part-time. If I can do it while working 60 hours/week, pretty much anyone can. Your results are only as good as the effort you put into it.  Remember, nothing is for FREE and there are tons of scams out there. Make an educated decision and ask questions! People have been through these programs...there's no shame at all in getting first-hand knowledge to help protect yourself and save you some money upfront.
