Affiliate Marketing Course Outline

Let’s get started. I know, I know, I should come up with a catchy name for this venture. Actually I kind of like it. It is simple and to the point. No gimmicks, no scams just Michael Mosby trying to share his knowledge about Affiliate Marketing.

Before we get started let’s set the foundation. I’m no guru. As you can tell by this blog I’m not a millionaire. I don’t have a course to sell you nor do I want to sell you someone else’s product. I’m a budding Internet Marketer and I will make almost $2k this month from Affiliate Marketing (85% will be pure profit). That is not earth shattering but it is a good start (actually I think it’s a great start - 6 more months and I should be able to retire from corporate america).

Now that I’ve gotten my feet wet, I want to show you how you can do it to. I can’t promise you will make thousands of dollars by following my techniques just like The Hair Club for men can’t promise that women will find you irresistible. But what I can do, is give you the tools, tips and tricks that made me irresistible, wait I mean, made me money.

Best of all it’s FREE. Who can argue with free?

I promise not to hold anything back, I will answer any and all questions and hopefully at the end of this journey you will feel the same passion I feel for Internet Marketing and share your knowledge with someone else.

So this is how it’s going to work. I am going to start a new Affiliate Marketing campaign live. Each step of the way I will share with you everything I know. Unfortunately I still have a 9 to 5 so I am stretched pretty thin however I commit to seeing this project through, if you’ll commit to following along with me.

I suggest you subscribe to the email RSS feed so that you don’t miss a lesson. I will be posting new lessons regularly but they won’t be daily. Actually if I were you I would check out the first few lessons to make sure this is what you are looking for. Then if you like what you see, sign up for the email feed so you can archive each lesson. I’m pretty skeptical about giving out my email address without knowing what I’m going to get, you should be too!

Enough babble (I am very long winded, you’ll either learn to love it or hate it). Here is the outline of what I will be covering. As you’ll see, it is very in-depth but I hope to have this campaign up and running within the next 30 days!

Wow, this is going to be awesome! I am excited to hear about your successes, your failures and your questions. I think this will be a great experience for both of us.

Also, feel free to tell a friend. I don’t have a huge readership and I would like to keep it that way but for this project we can handle a few more people. This project is all about sharing so get out there and spread the word.

I’m BACK with a Vengence!

That’s right boys and girls, I’m Baaack!

Granted, no one is reading my blog anymore (I guess that is what happens when you fall off the face of the earth only to resurface 4 months later). But that doesn’t matter! I am confident that “if I build it, you will come.”

So what is it that I’m building?

I’ll get to that but first, let’s talk about my sabbatical.

I never gave up on Internet Marketing. In fact, I’ve developed a very profitable Affiliate Marketing business! It wasn’t easy but it has been a TON of fun. I’ve had a few failed campaigns and a few successful ones but at the end of the day I learned a very valuable lesson:

Internet Marketing Guru’s are destroying internet marketing! I am PISSED OFF at the quality of the educational material that is being hyped up day in and day out across millions of emails, sales pages and teleseminars!

First it was the Thirty-Day Challenge. Ed and Dan worked hard to provide us with quality information to jump start our Internet Marketing Career but on the whole, the program was a disaster! Don’t get me wrong, I learned a lot but I also wasted a lot of time and effort. I am grateful for what Ed and Dan put together but as a consumer (I know, it was free) I am entitled to an opinion and this is my place to express it.

It started with TumblrGate, which crushed the hopes of hundreds of newbies. It was as if we had won the lottery, watching everyone’s reaction to how fast and high they were ranked using Tumblr, then the smack! Dreams were crushed, hope was dashed….

But we still had the secret sauce, that would save the day! Wait, what was the secret sauce? Oh that’s right, we never found out! Hell, I even joined the Immediate Edge hoping to find some sauce but all I got was some crappy Facebook app covered in gravy! (There’s $194 down the damn drain, but that’s right…. the 30 Day Challenge was free).

I’m not even going to get into the disaster the Immediate Edge turned out to be. I spent the first month trying to help design a facebook app….(how is this helping me sell this stupid affiliate ebook?) The second month I spent reading emails about this great referral network they were working on but I had to “stay a member” to access it. The only problem, no one could ever tell me when it would be complete! I quit!

Then came the PPC Classroom program with Anik Singal and Jeremy Palmer. Being new to Internet Marketing I didn’t know either of them but the program sounded AWESOME! A step-by-step guide and a inside looking into Jeremy’s multi-million dollar affiliate business…. perfect!

Perfectly disastrous! Nothing was complete, I paid over $500 and the product didn’t even ship until 3 weeks later! Jeremy’s infamous keyword tracking tool that garunteed to show you exactly which keywords were converting and which one’s weren’t…..NEVER WORKED! Those step-by-step tutorial classes turned out to be philosophical discussion filled with fluff and little value.

Lastly there were the numerous $47 ebooks on ezine marketing, PPC traffic, getting a “list”, growing a “list”, spaming a “list” and how to piss away money on common sense techniques for emailing your “list.”

I’M PISSED!

So that is where I’ve been, learning a valuable life lesson!

“the only source of knowledge is experience”
-Albert Einstein

So that is what I did. I lost over 30 hours and $400 on my first affiliate marketing campaign. I lost about 65 hours and only $150 on my second campaign.

But now I’ve got it right! That’s right, I am making a nice stream of income from Internet Marketing!

You can too! And I’m going to show you how. That’s right, I’m going to actually deliver on what every other Internet Marketing Guru has promised and failed to deliver. We are going to walk, step by step through launching an affiliate marketing campaign.

No holds barred, full frontal Internet Marketing.

Tomorrow I am going to outline exactly what we are going to cover but you can be sure it will be all-inclusive!

Since this will be a small group, no more than 50 people, I will make sure that ALL of your questions get answered, all of your problems are addressed and that you MAKE SOME MONEY!

It’s time for a change, time for Internet Marketing Guru’s learn the value of customer loyalty and the principle of over-delivering.

Oh, did I mention that this is going to be FREE? That’s right, I’m not here to make money off of you (another first in the Internet Marketing community).

I learned a lot from all of the programs I mentioned above, and while I flamed them for all of their bad qualities. There were positives in each course. Do I think Ed, Dan, Anik and Jeremy are bad guys? Of course not, however I think there were valuable customer relationship lessons to be learned by all of them. I’m just here to share what I know so take advantage of it!
