Before I start though, forgive my rant – Daniel certainly shows a lot of proof in his sign up video but please give me a break over 15 minutes of showing how much money he made as an affiliate is way too much for me. I believe you – come on and show me more please – I want content not proof!

UPDATE - 10th Feb 2011

Well, this should be struck off anyone’s list so hopefully you didn’t click further based on all the feedback I heard and no, I didn’t buy this. Word on the street is that this is simply a hijacker of yahoo answers and is nothing special PLUS the sales letter tactics had much too be desired

——————————————-

Anyway, today’s product has some nuances which make made me interested in testing this one out and the first two main reasons are as follows:

• Initial entry of only $37 which if you can’t afford that – don’t bother reading past this point
• One on mentoring for only $197

In addition, this is quote interesting in this age of big buck launches

• Enter your email to win a complimentary copy. Note: I’m surprised we don’t see this more often

So, why am I interested in Auto Click Profits is that it is all well and good in buying a product but once you start to use it and have little success it disappears onto a part of the hard drive that reappears only when backups are run – Know what I  mean?

In this case, you aren’t hurt by spending $37 which if you can’t afford that, forget reading further but having mentoring for only $197 makes it more interesting.

Halloween Super Affiliate

This is the program being launched by Brian G. Johnson in the next 2 weeks and talk about timing being perfect. This will help you fast track your Halloween affiliate marketing efforts and help get them ranked ready for big business in October.

What Brian has done with Halloween Super Affiliate that I think is clever is provide you with all the material to get your Halloween affiliate business up and running as he did last year making as an example $11,120.65 in just Halloween costume commissions, not forgetting his Adsense money too:

1. A Wordpress theme
2. 17 Halloween banners custom made
3. 20+ live webinar presentations to focus you on what works
4. Halloween keywords – and buying ones at that
5. And of course the step-by-step blueprint manual and videos to put this all into action.

What you need to do is just get busy and take action!

Holiday Affiliate Programs???

Thinking laterally, I am sure some bright spark will now take what Brian has done and set up an affiliate marketing training for Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day etc. but until now get on board with Halloween Super Affiliate and see what happens!

Butterfly Marketing Open Source Code

I am sure you have received a ton of emails asking you to download Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing Open Source code – I know I have so have not bombarded you with another post along these lines. Anyway, what Andy Jenkins has done is send an email promoting it AND suggests ways to utilize this software to make money – AWESOME Andy.

Note: If you are interested in this, these are Andy Jenkins’s affiliate links in here as this is his email content

So, without further ado, here it is:

Andy Jenkins’s Affiliate Email for Mike Filsaimes Butterfly Marketing

SUBJECT: Go start this business for yourself right now please!

Main Body of Email

Check this out - today I’ve got a little bonus business start
up idea that you could probably put together by the end of the
week.

1. Go here where Old Filsaime is giving away Open Source
rights to his Butterfly Marketing membership site software.
Yeah, he’s giving away software that was part of a $2000
package.

http://paydotcom.com/r/98388/andyjenkins

This is SERIOUS software. For a long time this was the only
real contender for making a killer paid membership site – and
I DO KNOW a thing or two about making money with membership
sites.

BUT WAIT! That’s NOT what I want you to do to start your business. No sir – you won’t be making a membership site.

Here’s what I think you should do, and whoever does this will make a SWEET little business.

2. Go find a place where you can get a reseller account for hosting.

3. Do some screen capture videos of yourself installing and configuring and USING Mike’s script. Make them tutorial over-the-shoulder style.

4. Create a package deal where the tutorial videos are FREE if they buy hosting with you. Then do a one time offer upsell to install and configure the script FOR them.

That’s it. Instant recurring income, with a chance for some big cash up front for easy work. After all, you already know how to install the script, right?

Note: You DON’T have to be a membership site expert to pull this off – ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is figure out how to install this and set it up.

You don’t even have to DISTRIBUTE it. You can let Mike give them the script.

TONS of people are downloading this script right now. It’s all over the internet and all the big boys are mailing. And listen, I guarantee that no matter how easy Mike made it…

People are going to biff it and get frustrated and they’re going to need a superhero.

So put on your cape and go rescue them!

Here’s an OPTIONAL step if you want to go nuts. If you get some cash to reinvest, I’d do two things.

FIRST: Get some customizations done to Mike’s script and start distributing your OWN souped up, exclusive version. After all, he’s giving you the FULL resell/PLR/whatever rights with it here.

http://paydotcom.com/r/98388/andyjenkins

So when you do that, you have a unique position in the market with a custom product, and you’re already established as an expert with this software by this time.

That means a PREMIUM price. How premium? Well, Mike sold this software plus some tutorials for $2000. Speaking of tutorials…

SECOND: Get in touch with a REAL Membership site expert that you can JV with and create some exclusive content that will help your customers actually EARN with the script.

You can then just give that away monthly to your customers, or it would justify raising your monthly fees as well.

THIRD: Once you have a bunch of this JV content together, use YOUR script and make a MEMBERSHIP site. Make it a premium price, monthly recurring, and throw in installation and hosting for free.

You could then probably upsell coaching, because at this point, you really ARE an expert in successful membership sites!

That’s it. Seriously, someone go do this right now and then come back to tell me how much you made. But the whole strategy kind of hinges on THIS script:

http://paydotcom.com/r/98388/andyjenkins

This is what’s hot RIGHT NOW and there’s demand RIGHT NOW. So you have to move fast. GO GO GO! And GOOD LUCK!

~ Andy

P.S. Of course, Mike’s script is a premium membership site script, so if you just want to jump ahead to the last one there and just make one of those – it’s pretty much how I make my living, so – GO DO IT! The software’s easy to get:

It is clearly a different style launch to the usual clickbank products with no massive salesy launch (yet!) and a more traditional internet marketing guru launch offering free content and more relationship style selling.

Fill in the blanks affiliate marketing review site

The first stage of Clickbank Predators has provided this affiliate marketing review site template and the example that Chris Fox is presenting is for a review style site for Commission Blueprint 2.

According to Chris, this template made him over $4,000 in affiliate commissions during the product launch and overall this template has made over $100,000 in commissions so clearly it does work.

The example to the left is the site which in this case is made using WordPress and can be seen as a demo in real life at http://www.commissionblueprint2site.com/ It is built using the standard FlexSqueeze theme so is definitely available for anyone to use as a basis.

Now where Chris has taken this the next step is not just show you the ACTUAL site that made him over $4,000 in commissions which he explains everything through the video but also a template to make sure you understand the logic behind WHY he has done what he has.

When you go to the CB Predators squeeze page, you can optin to get the video that explains the science around the process and why:

1. The top says “So your looking for a Commission Blueprint 2 review?
2. A sub section says “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly….”
3. and much much more

After you review the video, download the PDF template that you can use as a basis to create your own review site replacing Commission BluePrint2 with your product you want to promote.

If yo uwant to bypass the whole process, here is the template – http://cbpredators.com/downloads/cbpredatorstemplate.pdf but if you want to understand, the video explains the logic behind it.

What is CB Predators?

This will be explained more over the coming days but suffice to say, the product has been under construction since October 2009 and it is a software product that is designed to create “Five Figure Commissions In just 18 Clicks”

If you want to know more and to listen to the pre-launch and get more content such as the Affiliate Marketing review site template, sign up to learn more about CB Predators today

What was interesting to me is that WPREMIX was used as a good example of an affiliate program that is clearly making Taylor a lot of money – over $4,265 from the example video he shows as part of his pre-launch.

Now, rather than go on about this product launch (if you are interested in it here it is -  Access Affiliate Game Plan) I would rather talk about the wordpress cms theme which is a premium wp theme and what is so good about it.

What is WPRemix

WPREMIX is an awesome wordpress content management system theme used as the basis for Product Launch Vault.

In this blog, I am using it primarily for the blog template aka magazine module(1 of 5 provided) that is provided for free as part of the core purchase but the real power is the page templates used to provide awesome different looks and feels as well as great content.

If you go to the demo section of WPRemix and look at all of the different page template designs you can see the power and how you can create a lot of different look and feels.

One tip is to download them into a PowerPoint document which you can use for creating websites for companies in your area i.e. online marketing for offline businesses. it works and works well!

Note: Here is a link to all the wpremix page templates that I use when designing websites for clients.

In the picture above, this is an example of one of the 10 different home pages available with sections for inner pages for:

1. Products
2. Images Galleries
3. Events
4. Contact Forms
5. FAQ Pages
6. Features

and many more.

It is very good so if you are looking at a top wordpress cms theme, you can do no worse than to download WPRemix, I seriously suggest trying this premium wp theme out and I can give you a lot of tips if you end up buying it. Good Luck

Video 3 is showing actual excerpts from the affiliate millionaire course and lasts almost 36 minutes. Check out my affiliate milllionaire video 2 and video 1 reviews too.
I am getting used to his lilt now and find it very easy to listen to and comfortable, so let’s begin

Module 1 – What markets to focus on

I guess I am not surprised what he is suggesting as at the end of the day the key niches to focus on are the obvious ones, e.g. lose weight, remove debt, cure your health etc. Andrew calls them “solution markets” and from what i can see of this module 1, it is basically choose your market or niche to focus on based on Maslowes hierarchy of needs which I first heard about from Eben Pagan and basically the markets to focus on are around 3 key areas

1. Money and business
2. Health and Fitness
3. Relationships

Why these – because more money is spent in these 3 areas than any other niche combined – scary really but not surprising as at the end of the day if you think about it if you have money, a relationship and are healthy what more can you ask for.

In the video, Andrew then goes into finding an affiliate product within these solution markets and uses a great case study and of course a great product being www.truthaboutabs.com.

How to find a great affiliate product to promote

None other than go to Clickbank Marketplace and find the niche to focus on. My recommendation is to find the niche you personally have the most passion about and then search clickbank products by Gravity with the highest gravity meaning the products that are being promoted the most which therefore implies are making the most money for the affiliates

Module 3 – Email Magic Trigger 1 – Story telling

This excerpt is all about one of the four magic triggers that Andrew says you need to focus on to write good email copy and the first trigger is “story telling”. According to Andrew this is more powerful than any other method which to me sounds like it is straight out of the Frank Kern Mass Control playbook.

The reason is that it engages the readers mind and keeps their attention longer in order to keep the reader more engrossed. Cannot fault Andrew on this point at all and spot on.

So what does this do for you as an internet marketer well, you will get:

-> much higher open rates – up to 80%
-> click throughs up to 50%. industry average is 1%
-> much higer conversion rates = TON MORE MONEY

this becomes a win win scenario for you and your reader as the aim is to get subscribers to thank you for sending the info on the product to them.

As part of affiliate millionaire module 3, Andrew then goes into a niche on golf improvement using his alter ego “Arnie Gallagher” and runs through an example email that he sends as part of his auto responder trail.

Each email should have a header tag as an example:

“Exclusive Insider News” On What’s
Happening in the Golfing World Today
———————————

The rest of the email is all very converstaional and story telling. Interestingly after doing a search for “Arnie Gallagher myself on google I found some sample emails from Andrew here which you can download to see his style of email copy.

Email copy resources

http://dominatingcb2.com/send26days.txt

http://dominatingcb2.com/send30days.txt

http://dominatingcb2.com/antilink.txt

Notice the language contains golfing terminology and words that have sounds e.g. Plop for golf ball landing in the water. This shows the feelings and gets the reader to feel the story being told and the key is to sound humble

Module 4 – 30 days to automated sales

This module is all about email and the use of aweber. Not the bext excerpt I think as not really much content other than a “how do I use aweber” which is pretty straightforward.
Items being covered in this module are:

• Best subject lines
• Spacing and timing between email messages
• Killer content for your emails
• How often to pitch an offer

plus some advice which I thought was interesting e.g. use real world events to recognise you as the authority. One thing I know that all the best internet marketers do and is absolutely important – “Andrew is a big tester of emails”

Well that’s it from affiliate millionaire video 3 a review of three of the modules within Andrew Fox’s course.

Hope you enjoyed
Gavin

OK, a lot of the information  maybe sort of rehashed – I saw sections which are definitely Fran Kern esque and the “solution markets” was straight out of what i have seen Eben Pagan go through but overall I was quite impressed and I have to admit this appears to be a quality product.

Firstly, lets focus on video 2

Affiliate Millionaire Video 2 is all about the following

1. How a tiny list of 332 people generated $4643.40 and $1281.70 from 292 clicks
2. Interview with one of Andrew’s $25,000 private clients who generated his first $10K affiliate payday
3. PDF of details on the promotion that generated $39,014 in affiliate commissions in less than 7 days by selling a $77 ebook.
   This validated to Andrew that Affiliate Millionaire works

So let’s focus on the first point

How a tiny list of 332 people generated $4643.40 and $1281.70 from 292 clicks

Andrew showed a selection of emails reviewing the email content, aweber email lists and most importantly the open rates and click through rates.

I was quite impressed with some of the aweber autoresponder statistics and downloaded them from the videos you will see below. What i ahve noticed is that his emails are very simple and a bit of andrews gift of the gab. have a look and see what i mean:

From: “Marketing Quickies 3 – Andrew Fox”
Subject: Andrew, private video for you …

Andrew Fox

What was impressive is that from this one email – it was emailed to 350 people with 178 opened email and 100 clicks

Now what this email was selling was 6 week cash course which with the sequence of emails got 96 unique clicks out of 119 and generated $2321.70 – 6 sales with another $2321.70 generated as a 2nd payment as part of a subscription plan 30 days later. You can see all theopen rates and click through rates that he generated below.

This is impressive stuff with the key being  to form bonds with the subscribers and following andrew’s step by step affiliate millionaire procedure.

I had a look through his email lists and noticed a few things.

Firstly, Andrew is a big fan of Aweber as his choice of autoresponder and I can personally vouch for that.

His emails generally start with :

“name, text he wants to talk about

e.g.

“name”, the traffic resource …
name, I need your feedback
personal… (confidential)

I notice that this is always in lowercase letters and Andrew is getting 60 – 100% open rates and at least 15% are clicking through on the emails which according to Andrew is not that hard to get these sort of sales.

In the affiliate millionaire course you get swipe files of his best emails and will teach you how to build your subscriber list.

His email sequence showed the following which is good intel for us:
26th and 27th October
19th and 30th November
18th and 19th and 31st December
2nd and 11th January

and that was the 1st part of affiliate millionaire video 2

Interview with Alex Jeffreys one of Andrew Fox’s $25,000 private clients

Alex first met Andrew in Feb 2007 at Mike Filsaime’s 7 Figure Code Seminar – in New York where he hounded Andrew to consult him in becoming a super affiliate. Alex had built a few products and was making $1500- 2000 but wanted better results get to next level.

After much hounding, Alex weent to Andrew’s office for 2-3 hours and was shown his paypal account, clickbank accounts etc. good old social proof and straigt for our benefit I assume!!!! but what he learnt was all the:

Do this, Do that  copy this email etc. all copy and paste stuff

Andrew reviewed Alex’s email campaignes and his overall comments were:

“You are being too nice. You need to enforce authority. You need to recommend product that sells well

So, after implementing andrew’s methods and using the email swipe files, when the promotion thatAlex was implementing this on (In fact one of Andrews own products!!!!) Alex was the top affiliate as his conversion rate was high.

Note: Andrew gave Alex very good pre-launch material with certain email templates. In the end Alex emailed 4 emails. 1 pre-launch, 2 on launch day(i messed up) and 1 day after.

the key thing is that you create buzz by following the formula – it is a system with email campaigns using  psychological stuff and copying andrew fox’s writing style plus the process around how many to send and when for them to go out.

Since then Alex launched John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 and made $16K. Michael Cheney’s Golden Thread and made $36K in 90 mins all after setting things up in a launch sequence using Andrews methods and in 2009 made over $500K in sales – VERY IMPRESSIVE STUFF and a good case study from a very nice guy.

Summing Up and PDF Review

The process that is followed is all about letting your list know 4-6 weeks in advance that a launch is coming and getting the subscribers to genuinely see that you are recommending it not being like what andrew calls a “vulture affiliate”

You have upper hand in that time to sell the preview clips weeks before and talk about the benefits of the product. During this time you can build up your bonus package with the course showing you  how to create content using 4 different methods and in your emails just talk honestly about things.

Check out the PDF Review of Andrew’s DayJobKiller launch for more examples and swipe files that Andrew provides

And finally the KEY to the whole process seems to be:

1. Solid pre-launch
2. Offer good bonuses
3. Have well written emails

And that’s all of my affiliate millionaire video 2 review. Video 3 to follow by now probably after Andrew Fox’s actual affiliate millionaire launch. Hope you enjoy and let me know if you buy it as would love to hear your thoughts in my blog

Is this just a run of the mill affiliate marketing product launch?

We’ll see over the coming week as the launch is on February 27th but what raised my eyebrows in his sales letter was when Frank was being asked to an interview at his bank where his local bank official, a detective from the fraud squad, and an internal auditor quizzed him over his $10,000 per month that was deposited into his bank account.

Not surprisingly he was suspected of money laundering. I did laugh when the same bank official contacted Frank and asked to show him his “tricks of the trade” and paid him $5,000 for the privilege – I like that!

What Secret Affiliate Income Contains

According to the letter I saw, it is a 4 module course with the topics being:

• Blueprint To Secret Affiliate Riches
  A 54 page manual setting you up with the right strategies. This seems relatively basic to me and would be good for a basic internet marketing newbie who is looking to get started in affiliate marketing

• Secret Top Income Affiliate Sources
  Which seems to me to be eBay, CPA networks and some other sources

• Affiliate Checklist & Workbook
  A 20 day checklist to get you started from scratch

• 5-Part Video Tutorial
  Video 1 – 3 types of little-known money-making sites
  Video 2 – Using blogs rather than websites and thr 4 key things you need to know
  Video 3 – Opt-in pages
  Video 4  – Auto responders
  Video 5 – Creating Interviews and using Audacity

Downloadable Report

Of course you get some free information when you get to the squeeze page and in this case you get the autopilot income report which is basically about:

1. Find your niche by looking at trends
2. Create a website or buy an existing one
3. Promote CPA offers on it
4. Promotion using SEO and article marketing

My thoughts

I have to admit none of this really blows my mind and I can’t help think I have seen all of this before in various other products. The only credit I would say is that the product only costs $77 so hardly going to break the bank and if you get one nugget of information it can’t hurt. At the worst case, you have the usual guarantee and in 60 days you can always ask for a refund

I’ll let you be the judge -> Secret Affiliate Income Squeeze Page but blah from me

Firstly, he is very down to earth in the way he speaks – could it be the Irish lilt? and yet he showed very clearly his wealth with his Ferrari outside the garage and his boat or should I say ship! traveling around the Mediterranean during Summer 2009 which he decided to take off on vacation. Now that is a great life isn’t it!

Now the question you may ask is WHAT DID HE DO to get all this money – and the answer is very clear – Affiliate Marketing which has made him a super affiliate i.e. mega successful and well known!
One example that Andrew showed in the video was making $39K in less than 5 days by promoting a $77 ebook called Day Job Killer which was a big launch back in (I think) 2007.

This whole social proof and selling his credibility was very well done.

So, what is this Affiliate Millionaire all about

Firstly, a very bold statement was made by Andrew.

This is not something you are going to learn from any forum or a cheap e book

Big stake in the ground there from him so each of the pre-launch videos that I will review I will be watching them very carefully indeed. What we know so far is that it is NOT about using Google Adwords and NOT about Social Media or Web 2.0 and interestingly he says that he is doing the opposite of what most gurus teach. It is clear that Andrew is a super affiliate and this phrase is used a lot in the video so let’s see what he has to offer in video 2.

Thoughts so far?

Still need to be convinced if you ask me right now. You are going to be bombarded with emails by people promoting this latest affiliate marketing product but so far the three pieces of proof I have seen showing the money being made are I think from 2007. Have a look and see what I mean – http://affiliatemillionairecontent.s3.amazonaws.com/prelaunchvid2.f4v

My question is, does this methodology that Andrew Fox will be providing in Affiliate Millionaire still work in 2010?

For those of you who don’t know who Andrew is, he is a super affiliate who has made multiple millions of dollars in affiliate commissions.

Andrew has been an affiliate since 2000 and has been successfully selling affiliate products successfully via email, with some of his amazing launch highlights being:

• #1 affiliate for DayJobKiller with $55K in sales
• #1 affiliate for Google Cash Detective with $45K in sales
• #3 affiliate for Stomper SMARTS – $115K in sales
• Mass Control - $38K in sales
• Arbitrage Conspiracy – $24K in sales

To quote Andrew:

I’ve sold around $1million of affiliate products just in the last few years alone, via email marketing with ZERO advertising costs

What is Affiliate Millionaire?

From reading his pre-launch material. Affiliate Millionaire will be a seven DVD Module system of over 10 hours of footage with each module containing 2 -4 videos with a mixture of professional real life video, PowerPoint slides and screen cam recordings

The modules are as follows:

• Module 1 – Researching the market’s that contain HUNGRY buyers who want to spend money.

• Module 2 – Building your list. Includes Ryan Deiss’s UnderCover List Profits in this course which is top notch and hits the nail right on the head as well as including a lot of Andrew’s own techniques

• Module 3 – ‘Correlation Connection’ – Creating Instant Relationships With subscribers and an in depth look at the psychology of email marketing.

• Module 4 – Pre-Launch Page’s – Video Overviews about why pre launch pages are so important with real life proof.

• Module 5 – Bonuses Module – how to get the *right* bonuses to boost conversions. Pre Set Email swipe.

• Module 6 – Launch day Affiliate promotions – Sequence. The Exact Timing

• Module 7 – Integrated Affiliate Marketing – Proof and stats of auto responder swaps members areas, attracting buyers leads etc

In addition the product will also contain:

• A swipe file that contains over 14 different email promotions used to generate up to $140,000 in sales from a single promotion

• Over 10 Customizable Pre Launch Templates

• Over 10 Customizable Squeeze Page Templates

and then some additional bonuses which you will have to wait to find out about.

Overall thoughts so far?

It will be a BIG launch with a lot of well known affiliates joining in and a lot of publicity will be generated.

1. Will it offer some original content – absolutely.
2. Will it be of good quality – absolutely.
   The pre-launch material I am seeing know confirms this. I have just seen an 18 minute preview video of Module 1 and it is very professional indeed. Let me know if you would like to see it and I will make it available to you.
3. Will it be of value for money – unknown at this stage as the concept is hardly new “affiliate marketing with email marketing” – hmmm

Will keep you all updated
