Affiliate Sales Programs

After the last info-product I purchased (Google Snatch), which turned out to be a dud, I was bit skeptical about this. Anything that appeals to lazy people just has to be a bit sus, right? But I received the recommendation on Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate from Allan Gardyne, a guy with an impeccable reputation in affiliate marketing. Allan doesn’t recommend garbage.

First impression on the sales page was positive. For once, it wasn’t a whole lot of hype. Instead, there are actual techniques discussed. I like this guy. Instead of a whole lot of waffly “this will make you rich” garbage it gets straight to the facts. You know that even before you buy it there’ll be no fluff and hyperbole, and this turned out to be true. You can actually get useful information from the sales page, and that’s very rare.

So, what’s it about?

The author, Chris Rempel, gives you detailed instructions on how to build mini-sites which attract BUYERS, not just visitors. His techniques focus on finding people who are on the “verge” of buying and then simply putting your offer in front of them. It’s really quite simple but deadly effective.

Chris’s advice is quite different to what you usually find in these types of books. For example, he advises against “following your passion”. That’s often-given advice, and I’ve given it myself. Chris tells you why it’s a bad idea. He also says that AdSense sites are for “dummies”. That might upset some people but I think he’s basically correct. And yes, I’ve been a dummy in the past.

Chris discusses various traffic generation methods such as using freeware programs to generate tons of downloads daily, and using that traffic to generate affiliate commissions. Unlike that last info-book I mentioned, there’s some unique and under-used but effective techniques discussed, not re-hashed stuff that’s been around for years, which you can find in any SEO forum. He also discusses ways to increase your affiliate earnings by actually creating your own products.

All up, I give Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate top marks. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners (there’s a link to a good free guide in the book) but if you’re looking for some new ideas and concepts, and an actual blueprint for putting them into action, then this book delivers.

Oh, did I mention the price? It’s currently $29.95, unless Chris has decided to put the price up. That’s a lot less than is usual for this type of product. It’s about one third the price of that last e-book. It’s not as long, but that’s because it’s not filled with pages and pages of article directories or other useless crap. A genuine bargain.
