Edit: The editors at Ezine Articles have made this review of The Affiliate Code a featured article!
Welcome to part 2 of my The Affiliate Code review. If you have not read part 1 yet I strongly suggest you go back and read that first. For the rest of you, this is probably on your mind right now.
“Okay Nathan, I think your review sounds pretty unbiased. And the fact that you actually own a copy of this product means you know what you are talking about. I do want to give The Affiliate Code a shot. But can I really make money from this? I’m willing to go through the course faithfully and do what it teaches about getting my first affiliate site up. But something still bugs me, I just want to be absolutely sure that it works before I buy it.. After all, I’m not stupid. You are promoting this product as an affiliate yourself right? Of course you would want me to buy from you. Are you even making any money yourself? You mentioned you set up a guitar learning site following guidance from The Affiliate Code. How is that going for you?”
Alright, I can fully understand your concern, and I’m going to shoot myself in the leg here. You would think I would simply give super rave reviews about this product and expect you to fork out your hard-earned money so I can earn a quick buck as an affiliate, but this is not the purpose of my website. When I bought The Affiliate Code myself, I thought all I needed to do was to go through all the modules faithfully, and try my best to put what Michael Jones taught into practice exactly as he taught them. I was under the assumption that if I did exactly what he did or did something similar to what he advised, I would start make money immediately and also make lots of it at an explosive rate.
Here’s the sinker – NO. Buying The Affiliate Code and doing exactly what is taught will not make you 60k a month immediately. It won’t even make you 1k a month out of the box. My first affiliate site – Learn Guitar Skills did not start to make a single cent until 3 months after its launch. I spent a great deal of time experimenting with PPC, SEO and link-building, made a lot of mistakes, got Google-slapped big time and I was on the verge of giving up. It was not until I did extensive research night after night, trying to figure out why I wasn’t make any money even after following exactly what was shown in The Affiliate Code, did I realise that the things taught in The Affiliate Code is just a fundamental part of a jigsaw puzzle.
What The Affiliate Code will teach is:
1. Choosing Your Niche – How to pick a winning niche that will be extremely lucrative and give you room to expand your empire.
2. Picking Your Product – Tips you need for selecting a powerful product that will yield high returns. Knowing what products to select will keep you ahead of the affiliate game by helping you stay awayf rom losers.
3. Tech Talk Site Setup – What you need to do to get yourself setup as a serious affiliate marketer, including setting up your own website.
4. Using an Autoresponder – An in depth guide at what an autoresponder is and how it works. Plus, how to use one to maximize revenue.
5. Copywriting 101 – Essential skills you MUST know to get maximum response from your viewers in emails, squeeze pages, sales pages, and ads.
6. Driving Free Traffic – Killer technique for getting on the first page of Google in days instead of months.
7. Tracking – One thing that serious internet marketers need to do is track everything so that you know what works and what doesn’t work. Where are you getting that traffic? What traffic converts to sales?
8. Scaling it Up – What to do to take your business to the next level.
There are many other pieces of the puzzle you need to know, besides the absolutely crucial stuff you will learn in The Affiliate Code. Honestly, this is a terrific package to get you started making your first affiliate site. Getting your first site up is the most important milestone to achieve if you are remotely interested in making real money as an affiliate. So, what are these other pieces of the puzzle I’m talking about, that is covered just very briefly (inadequately) in The Affiliate Code?
1. Adwords / PPC Marketing – Michael Jones talks very briefly about Adwords and other forms of PPC marketing, but not in sufficient detail such that you know exactly how to go about creating a killer PPC campaign. He does not go into detail about ‘Google slaps’, something that I heard to learn the hard (and expensive) way.
2. Traffic Techniques – Not a lot is covered about how to get traffic to your site. As I mentioned in the first part of my review, if there is no traffic, there are no sales. Sales is ultimately what puts money in your pockets. There is a section about ‘getting free traffic’, but the technique is widely know and Google’s algorithms are changing so fast that this technique is ineffective.
3. Social Media Marketing – If you really solely on Google or PPC to drive visitors to your site, you are not marketing your site aggressively enough. With social media sites like Twitter gaining popularity greatly, you need to leverage on these new forms of media to drive people to your site, and convert them into paying customers.
4. List Building Secrets – Once again, Michael Jones does a great job of explaining and bringing you step-by-step on how to set up an autoresponder on autopilot, but there is no module dedicated to telling you the secrets of actually getting people on the subscriber list. A huge list of subscribers greatly enhances your earning power. This is very important if you want to make good money.
Alright, at this point you are probably confused from what I have said. You are probably thinking this:
“So Nathan, what exactly is your point and are you trying to take me for a ride? You mentioned The Affiliate Code is worth my time and worth the money, but now you’re saying there are pockets of important information there are not revealed, that would prevent me from making any money at all. Are you saying The Affiliate Code is crap? I’m not going to pay for something that can’t make me money man!”
Take a chill pill, what I’m saying is, The Affiliate Code is an awesome product to get started, but you will need other resources to supplement the things taught. I’ve paid for several affiliate training products and ALL of them teach generally the same basic things. There is not one product I have come across that actually teaches you everything and spoon-feed you like a baby. There is simply too much to be learnt, and all affiliate marketing training products out there generally give you a basic idea of how to make money, and the rest is hard work, research, and experimentation. There is no point trying to find ONE PRODUCT that is able to teach you everything. The Affiliate Code is one of the better ones there is.
I have spent months gathering important materials you will need to succeed. These are important and useful resources and eBooks about PPC marketing, Traffic Techniques, Social Media Marketing and List Building Secrets that, when coupled with the excellent material covered in The Affiliate Code, will make your journey to being a profitable affiliate marketeer more realistic and possible. I have spent a lot of time figuring all these out and learning that you need to know these topics well in order to succeed. Do not expect to start making 60k a month overnight. A realistic expectation will be to start making a few hundred dollars within the first 6 months, and then when you scale up your business and expand to more niches, you could probably start bringing in a few thousand a month.
Now I’m building up my earnings and making at least 1 sale a week, more than enough to break even. You might think 1 sale is not much. True, compared to what ’super affiliates’ are claiming to be earning. But consider the many number of people who crack their skulls setting up multiple sites and failing to make enough to break even. As I apply the techniques in The Affiliate Code and pair it with the methods learnt from other sources (listed below), I am confident my sales will only grow in number through experimentation and tweaking.
Hence, I’m offering you these 7 ADDITIONAL BONUSES, because I do not want you to stumble in the dark like I did. These additional materials have been carefully selected, and will be given to you FREE, so you can concentrate on bringing in profits. My months of agonising research for the most relevant materials will be presented to you on a silver platter.
Note: As of now the number of bonuses have grown much more, but due to space constraints I am not listing all of them. The bonuses can be downloaded in the members’ section of my blog. You will be given an unrestricted FREE 1 month access to download them.

Have you ever purchased a product and somehow felt that it would be the last time you bought something from that place?
Did you somehow feel neglected by the salesman and once you made a purchase, they didn’t want to have anything to do with you?
Unfortunately, many customers out there feel the same. They get the idea that all the business does is grab their hard earned pay and ask them to scoot after that.
The truth is, sometimes customers make a purchase from a sales guy based on trust alone.
You see, your prospects and customers are human too. They want to deal with someone they know they can trust and will always give them value and be honest with them at all times.
And this is where as a business owner you’ll need to have to start looking at building a customer list so you can not only connect with your target audience, but also transform your skeptical subscribers into die-hard customers, and other advantages of having a subscriber list include:
You can save loads of time and effort in trying to reel in new customers Imagine you have a list of a few hundred customers.
