WHY TAKE THIS AFFILIATE COURSE AND NOT ANOTHER ONE
Other courses teach you the same strategy that doesn't work: set up a landing page, drive traffic with Facebook ads, sit back and make money. Today, this won't work, and you'll lose money.
Why? Ads are too expensive and can't be run profitably, and Instagram and other social channels simply don't drive enough traffic that converts.
So people usually get an affiliate link, promote it on Facebook and other social media sites, but make no money. Then they lose hope.
If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Many of my clients had the same experience before they came to me.
Don’t lose hope!
Instead of faulty shortcuts that don't work, I'll teach you solid fundamentals that WILL work. I care about the success of my students, and my course has an honest and step-by-step approach that you can follow and succeed.
NEW TO AFFILIATE MARKETING?
If you are new to affiliate marketing, I understand that it can be a confusing space. There are many strategies, and different experts suggest something a different and unique path. As a new affiliate marketer, it's hard to know whom to trust, which strategies to pursue, and how to ultimately succeed.
I’ve tested a lot myself and seen what works for my students, so I know what gets results and what doesn’t. I want you to stop wasting time, resources, and energy on stuff that is ineffective and start generating income as fast as possible (because there are proven ways to do that).
In this course, I'll logically break every part of the affiliate process so you can understand this industry from the ground up, and be informed and empowered to make your own accurate decisions!
ADD A REVENUE STREAM TO AN EXISTING BUSINESS
If you have an existing business, I'll show you strategies I use to add a passive income revenue stream to my own existing business without much extra work.
If you already have traffic, I'll show you how to add a new revenue stream by offering affiliate products or services that your business does not offer, but your traffic might still find useful.
HOW THIS AFFILIATE MARKETING COURSE IS STRUCTURED - FOUR MAIN PARTS
PART 1: Affiliate marketing basics and fundamentals.
PART 2: Choosing a profitable affiliate niche, how to set up your website, and get started with promoting affiliate products.
PART 3: Choosing the best affiliate products to sell, navigating sites that list tens of thousands of affiliate offers like ClickBank, Amazon affiliate (Amazon associates), Shareasale, JVzoo, and MaxBounty.
PART 4: Actually doing the affiliate marketing. How to drive a high volume of traffic to your affiliate products, and turn that traffic into sales.
Part 4 is essential (and what most other courses lack) but you have to build a foundation first, so go through each part diligently.
FIND THOUSANDS OF AFFILIATE PRODUCTS TO SELL
You’ll never run out of in-demand products to sell!
I'll walk you through many affiliate sites like ClickBank, Amazon affiliate marketing program called Amazon Associates program, Shareasale, JVzoo, and a number of other affiliate sites. In addition to ClickBank, Amazon Associates, Shareasale, JVzoo, MaxBounty I'll show you how to get better affiliate deals by going to the vendors directly.
There’s an art to choosing the right products and you’re about to learn it! And yes, most people choose bad products not knowing the key criteria of a product that will actually sell and that’s why they don’t make money. Armed with this new knowledge you’ll develop a natural sense of identifying great products that will make you money.
The Amazon affiliate marketing program is the most popular one, but the affiliate commissions tend to be much lower there. So I'll also walk you through the Clickbank affiliate marketing program as well as others that also accept people from anywhere in the world, so you can be sure that you'll be approved.
AFFILIATE MARKETING MADE SIMPLE—NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
This course is perfect for anyone with little to no experience in affiliate marketing or those who’ve just started and feel confused. You don’t need technical skills or a big budget to get started.
Affiliate marketing isn’t oversaturated, and it likely never will be. But success comes to those who know what they’re doing.
You’ve probably wasted time before, trying strategies that didn’t work. You don’t have to anymore. This course will show you exactly what works, saving you money by avoiding failing strategies and helping you focus on what will actually make you money.
Yes, there’s too much information online, and most of it isn’t helpful. What you need is specific, actionable steps, and that’s exactly what you’ll get here.
I’ll cut through the noise, teach you a simple, effective system, and get you started on making money right away.

I liked the course for the most part but i feel like it wouldve been more usefull if when showing examples of running ads and such you would use affiliate products and without websites, i wouldve liked to learn more about how to market without using a website, and be more of a pure affiliate marketers, since that is why i searched for this course.
By Sodipo Soremi on 2/23/2024
it's really a good course. The only disturbing problem to me in person is the moving of the arrow to certain field on the screen that is invisible to me as an old man. I am of the opinion that mention could have been made to where the arrow will be pointing to for proper understanding. The same I noticed in the Facebook Marketing Ads course too, hence my inability to rate the course.

As a brand new beginner, I learned so much from this course. It was very easy to listen to, and I appreciate the integrity of the instructor in his focus on teaching the subject matter well and not just pushing his own products to students. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a thorough overview of affiliate marketing.
By Matthew Lee on 5/26/2023
I think this is a great beginner course for marketing online. I would suggest adding Ai solutions like canva (although that's paid) to create and schedule social media posts and Chatgpt to create go over copywriting and other ideas to assist people just starting out. Otherwise I found a bunch of great thoughts to add to my affiliate marketing strategy. Thank you
By Manuel Crispino on 2/8/2023
I loved the way this guy teach really nice course! i just get a little issued with Gdpr Regulation in Europe so please if you are reading this , I would love if you can add some videos about it how should i do that ? for my affiliate program on my YouTube videos, because for example the site you suggest to start JVZoo require this and I have been tried to find out how can I do this but no one really knows, so pls I would Love if you can incorporate this to the course also some recommendation about Taxes in my case in Europe , because when we start this job we don't really make a lot of money to pay out so if you can incorporate this two points this course would be 100% complete . thank you once again
By Konstantina Symeonidou on 4/6/2021
Very informative course, really helpful , instructor very knowledgeable and answers all questions within couple of minutes or hours, but you definitely get an answer to your question.. I'm pointing out this because there are instructors they don't even respond.. I would suggest only a slower pace of speech so there's time to comprehend the information for non native english speakers and beginners as well. Other than that, it was very valuable course.

Obviously, after completing this course, one finds Alex, the instructor, has a wealth of knowledge that he takes his time as a professional teacher to educate the students at a pace that is easier to comprehend and also maintain student interest on the topics. What I liked about this course is I learned how secondary affiliate marketing works as compared to Amazon Affiliate Program with a website that ranks for example via organic search(Google). I already am familiar with Amazon affiliates but lacked knowledge on Shareasale, affiliate aggregators, JVzoo, clickbank, youtube, facebook marketing, social media marketing etc etc. I definitely learned a ton completing this course and probably will watch again at some point for necessary references to current endeavors and methods of Affiliate Marketing. Thank you Alex!

Perfect and cute, interesting instructor.

Learning stage as of now. So far good.
By Jeremy Smith on 11/8/2020
Presentation is very good, it is exciting, and it motivates one to want to learn more. Information on ClickMagick in particular is very inviting and Alex's offer to re-twit my promo twitter is quite a motivating factor. Thank you Alex.
By Debbie Kirby on 11/1/2020
He seems very experienced in his narrative and I really like the explanations and individual steps he gives for beginners. I can't wait to start.
