3 Wealthy Affiliate Members Who Kill It With Amazon

---

WA teaches a skill that can earn you a LOT of MONEY... yey

​

Boiled down a system for finding keywords that you can post content on that WILL attract visitors from search engines that can be monetized in many ways (Amazon affiliate commissions in this article)

​

This skill can be learned by ANYONE.

​

Translating the WA training into reality allows for personal interpretation. Some people do it better than others.

​

My advice: do the training and implement, but also follow / copy / gain inspiration from members who are successful. ​

​

WA are awesome, and helpful. Use this... ask them follow them in WA ask questions etc.

​

NOTE: Free members get full messaging access to the whole community for the first 7 days (don't waste this privilege). Premium members have full access to other members.

​

This archive has all manner of online success stories to take inspiration from, but this post is focused on WA + Amazon = SUCCESS.

​

Starting with Domenic Wells.

​

DomW (WA profile) followed the training and got real good building out Amazon affiliate sites. So good in fact that Dom now employs a team of people to build these sites for sale to people that don't want to have to build them from scratch.

​

Dom shares a ton of great advice and insight about building successful Amazon affiliate sites.​

Which AutoResponder Does Shane Melaugh (Thrive Themes) Use?

What Former ‘All In’ Members Think Of Empower Network

Yes; I Had A Brief Spell As An Empower Network Member.

Seduced by some fantastic marketing and sales funnels.

I’ve always wanted to try an MLM (thankfully EN cured me of this).

Greed – not a nice trait to own up to but…

I never really considered people would invest their last pennies into such a venture.

But when I had an email from somebody who I signed up, calling me out on all the hype, and that she couldn’t afford for this to fail…

reality sunk in.

Empower Network could be a very dangerous business for somebody to get involved with

Why?

 

Reason 1 Not To Join Empower Network – It’s a massive risk.

You need to own the products in order to earn an affiliate commission which means at a minimum you have to commit to

$19 Monthly Affiliate Membership (pay to sell the products…)

$25 Monthly Viral Blogging Platform

This would represent your lowest start point ($44 per Month).

The only average spend figures I have is from training done by Shaqir Hussyin who is one of EN top affiliates. Shaqir who also runs an online advertising agency (read absolute expert on getting paid traffic) was stating that his average EN customer value was $660 dollars at the time of the training.

Meaning every person Shaqir signed up would average out spending $660. Obviusly some would spend thousands and some would get out for $25 (no refunds with EN!)

Here is Shaqir filmed at a EN convention…

 

The average customer value is important because it means that Shaqir can spend (and does apparently) up to $350 dollars on advertising to bring in just one sign up. Because that would still represent a $310 profit.

Lucky for Shaqir he knows what he’s doing when it comes to paid advertising… do you?

Join Empower Network and the odds are stacked against you making ANY profit.

Reason 2 Not To Join Empower Network – Morally Is This Right?

 

LESS than 3% of Empower Network Affiliates make over $500 per month!

Most make zero, nothing, zilch.

The folks you see in the video’s and on stage have some serious marketing skills.

For people without proven online or network marketing / MLM success your chances are slim…

Basically it shouldn’t need me to point out that these odds suck!

But assuming you’ve got the marketing smarts to sign people up, how do you feel knowing that less than 3% will ever make anything?…

So let’s remind ourselves of the hype the Empower Network Info-graphic below (courtesy of Visual.ly)…

 

In case your wondering the 100% commission claim is also BS. Because some of your sales are passed up to whoever sponsored you (provided they own the product that was sold)

Pass ups are what makes the original members of EN so much money, and helps explain why so many talented marketers and MLM leaders joined the program…

… It’s super efficient at cascading the cash up to the leaders.

As David Wood (Co Founder Empower Network) once said

MLM (multi level marketing) is about recruiting the masses to find the few.

In Empower Networks case a great deal of people contribute their cash to a very small number of ‘leaders’.

Surely we don’t need any more reasons to save our money for more worthy investments…

But if you do…

Day 45 – Screw95 Review

Monday 25th August 2014

Been a whole 7 days since last post.

Have added my first keyword focused content…

Screw95 Review Post

I wanted to pick a really easy keyword to target.

Though in reality it’s probably not that easy…

Very few competing pages for the term Screw95 Review…

 

 

6,470 exact match competing pages.

However as it turns out that this is a really good product many of the reviewers are really good affiliate marketers.

This last week I haven’t had as much time to focus on this project.

Next week I will also be struggling for time, but I want to building my social profiles and generating more keyword focused content again.

I also need to re-write my WA review page.

Objective last week was to identify at least 5 keyword specific post topics that would be easy to rank for over time and bring traffic into my blog. I must score myself a FAIL on this one.

I did get one of these posts done the screw95 review post. However in buying and reviewing the course it brought home to me how hard it is for new blogs to get ranked in Google. Google tend to sandbox new sites until they have gained the big ‘G’s trust.

So if I plan to bring visitors into this blog sooner, I’m going to have to either find some very easy keywords (not easy in the make money online niche) or adopt an approach like Jay teaches in his screw95.

Jay’s approach is a viral social marketing system I’d never seen before, or if I had it wasn’t described in the succinct way Jay manages.

So next week I want to implement at least 5 posts and start building my viral social profiles.

Output this week. Spent 4 hours going through the Screw95 training. And 2 hours writing my review and this journal post.

Screw95 Course Review Is Jay Wessman Ripping Us Off?

The ‘Lazy Ass Stoner’ Screw95 Course Revealed

Jay Wessman aka The Lazt Ass Stoner and Creator Of Screw95

In reviewing Screw95 by Jay Wessman I’m looking to answer the following questions…

• Who’s this course for?
• Does it work?

If you follow the training will ordinary people with no special marketing or technical abilities be able to make money. At the end of the day this is what it all boils down to – right?

I think the answer is yes. Meaning I think I could make money from it and I intend to test the system.

So whats the deal, why am I promoting Wealthy Affiliate training and at the same time saying Screw95 is a good course?

Because the two courses are very different.

Screw95 is all about creating niche product affiliate sites and promoting them in a very specific way.

I’ve never ever seen social media training before that I’ve ever felt able or willing to do before… ever.

Jay’s site promotion method manages to achieve fantastic search engine results by getting other people to do all your hard work for you.

Sounds spammy… right?

I thought so too.

Curiosity and the fact that this is a Clickbank product (rock solid 60 day guarantee) prompted me to buy screw95…..

So will this be a keeper or will I refund?…

Screw95 is a….

 

 

….KEEPER!

 

Why Am I Keeping Screw95?

or what does it offer that Wealthy Affiliate doesn’t provide?

In a sentence… It’s super specific about what it provides (profitable websites) and how you build and promote them.

Wealthy Affiliate is a huge resource and community that pretty much teachers you everything you could ever want to know about making money online.

WA could be overwhelming for some (me  )

Screw95 is a small course that will not overwhelm anyone.

Who’s It For?

ANYONE who’s looking for a simple system for building and promoting PROFITABLE product based niche websites.

Personally the only reason I didn’t refund this product is because of the site promotional method, which I think is awesome.

Sure the video and training quality is top-notch but lets face it there are many courses that teach how to create niche product websites.

Introducing Jay Wessman to explain…

What do you think?

Please comment below if you think this looks good… or not.

Does Jay’s Technique Work? Time For a Case Study…

So What Do You Get With Screw95

Screw95 Members Area

 

As the screenshot above demonstrates Screw95 is divided into 5 stages, three bonus elements and a concluding video.

All the training is video based. But for those that worry that the videos are going to be long and require note taking this isn’t the case.

Jay in my opinion is one of the most accomplished teachers (true his persona may not be to everyone’s taste) I ever seen. He’s concise and backs up every point with a visual example… simple but so effective.

Also there are absolutely NO UPSELLS with Jay’s course. It’s so refreshing to see training that requires you to buy NOTHING other than the domain name and hosting if you decide to implement.

The research and niche selection (stage 1) and competition analysis is also refreshingly simple and requiring of no keyword tools other than the free ones.

Stage 2 building your niche WordPress website. I thought about skipping this bit, surely this is going to be the same old stuff everyone talks about… WRONG!

Jay simply tells you everything you must do to create a successful niche product website… I’m so glad I didn’t skip this part.

Adding affiliate products to your new website is the next part (stage 3) and if you are experienced in affiliate marketing you could actually miss this bit (it’s only 2 videos)

Stages 4 & 5 for me are where the magic happens. If you haven’t already watch the first video on this page…

How much would it be worth to you to learn this stuff?

 

What About The Bonus’s

3 bonuses which include 2 case studies of real sites where you get the actual url’s so you can visit them and check everything out.

I love case studies like these, but they are rarely done on real sites because once they go public everyone just copies the sites.

The other two bonus’e cover scaling your site production up once you’ve mastered the techniques.

Finally there is also a members forum which I’ll cover later as at the time of posting I’m awaiting moderator approval.

 

What Don’t I like About Jay’s Screw95 Training?

I don’t like Jay’s hat!

But he isn’t even wearing one. This is the part of a review where the reviewer is supposed to say something that could be improved about the course.

But I can’t think of anything I would change so I was hoping he’d be wearing the beanie hat he sometimes sports.

So I think the course would be better if Jay was wearing his hat.

Seriously… Jay could have talked about more stuff, but in my opinion that would have just been filler.

This course gives us EVERYTHING we need to make profitable product based websites… what more do we need?

 

Wealthy Affiliate Vs Screw95 Comparison Which Is Better

See Jay Has Got A Hat!

If you want to learn one online technique that makes you money…

Screw95 is the winner!

If you want to learn everything about making money online…

Wealthy Affiliate is the winner!

Seriously Wealthy Affiliate is like an interactive encyclopedia, the amount of skills you can learn is vast, the WA community is inspiring, encouraging,…. awesome.

My advise if you are considering just getting one of these great products.

Try them both out and see which teaching style ‘clicks’ with you.

Wealthy Affiliate offers completely free membership which you can get here…

Screw95 offers the rock solid Clickbank 60 day money back guarantee.

Day 33 -38 Calm Before The Storm

Monday 18th August (Day 38)

Been AWOL from updating the journal since last Wednesday.

Main reason because I’ve had other projects to deal with (damn that real work!)

Also have been slightly restructuring this site linking.

Not much but wanted the main headings to reflect the WA success formula…

Choose Interest > Build Website > Get Ranking & Visitors > Earn Money

With future blog posts being posted under those category headings amongst others.

I’ve decided to also add another review page and use Google Analytics to a / b split test. No real hurry to do this as traffic is still low, but I think this is a good idea going forward.

 

Calm Before The Storm?

I’m quite happy with the core site content, and now feel it’s time to start adding keyword focused content to start gaining search engine visitors, and hopefully start seeing some keyword rankings.

I feel I need to do a lot of this, and have pictured a powerful storm of activity…

This will be following Kyle’s and the WA team awesome excellent keyword training. Click the image below to watch Jay’s guide to content and article research…

Click here to find out more about writing content that ranks and wins search engine visitors…

Objective is to identify the next 5 keyword targeted content titles.

Output from previous 5 days has been to create 4 new pages and add a category for each of the WA steps to success.

Time Taken – This took 6 hours over 4 days.

Day 32 – Don’t Be A Pussy! Time To Make Some Money…

Wednesday 13th August 2014 – Time To Make Some Money

That’ll Be Me Then…

Following yesterdays first months results and next month goals post I’ve decided to call myself out.

I woke up this morning with the title of this post in mind because I feel I’ve wimped out.

This months objectives are covered here.

I wont regurgitate them again, I did think carefully about them and will stand by them…

But…

I want this site and this journey to inspire people to build their own site. I really do believe everyone can build a profitable website.

Websites that when set up and running can earn people from a few hundred dollars extra per month right up to many thousands of dollars.

And have some fun doing it too.

But if I simply document some two year grind to generate $1,000 per month…

I’m going to put people off.

So…

How Do You Speed Up The Make Money Online Process

1. Increase TARGETED visitors

2. Improve conversions – re-write the review page because I don’t feel it does WA justice.

How to increase targeted visitors – Over the first 3 months I planned to only use free traffic methods. So I will stick by that.

This means creating keyword targeted content that is very easy to rank in search engines. I can do this through articles and YouTube videos (we’ll see).

Syndicating this content through my syndication network (when I build it)

Targeting make money online interest groups / forums (I’ve added this here because some people are great at this type of forum / social marketing – I don’t feel this plays to my personal strengths though).

How to increase conversions – I want this site to be an honest helpful resource, no hype or BS of any kind. So I’m not planning on going crazy with red headlines and the usual crap.

However I wrote the review page early in this challenge and though I don’t think it’s terrible, I do think it fails to capture the essence of Wealthy Affiliate membership. It needs re-writing!

I have Google Analytics installed so I will be able to see how people react to the review page, and if I want to be really fancy could create a second version of the page and let Google tell me which page converts the best.

I got some serious work to do now…

Today’s Objective is to complete my daily actions and really start building the elusive content syndication network.

Outcome…

Time Taken – 2 hours so far to create this journal entry.

Day 30 – Content Marketing Social Media Strategy

Monday 11th August

Right after two days and nights pondering.

I went through Kyle’s social media training again…

and finally feel I have my content marketing social media strategy.

This is going to be the most important lesson of this entire course for many of you and hopefully it is going to help you comprehend both the positives and negatives that social can have on your activities online.

Kyle clearly thinks social media’s important!

The above quote comes from the final lesson of the Online Entrepreneurship certification training. The level 4 Mastering Social Engagement series.

Lesson 10 in particular really get’s you thinking about how social media can work for you, but also sets some parameters to guard against simply wasting time.

For me doing this training again really helped me crystallise my thoughts.

I’ll cover how I went through the training below, but for now let me just skim over some of the social media evaluation criteria.

Firstly Kyle suggests that the time taken to deal with social media and reply to comments, questions and emails should be about 45 minutes per day (split morning, noon, end of day, or something similar)… seems doable?

You then need to question for EACH social network WHAT you want from it…

• To gain more followers in my niche
• To increase traffic to my website through posting
• To increase my brand presence
• Offer customer service to my potential and existing customers

Next HOW are you going about it…

• Adding content related to my niche/business (including other peoples content)
• Starting Discussions Related to my niche
• Posting all new and valuable content (articles, videos, and pages)
• Offering Support and communication via the private messaging

Kyle WARNING…

You need to pick and choose which social networks you are going to “engage” within and which ones you are not. There is only so much time in any given day and you may be doing yourself and business a complete disservice by being too social…

Don’t let socializing supersede your “creation” tasks. Creation leads to business growth. If you are not building and you are only socializing, your business is going to suffer as a result.

The alternative to engaging (joining the conversations, following others, asking questions, starting discussions etc) is SHARING.

Sharing great helpful content does serve the community, but sharing takes a lot less time than full on engagement.

What’s the minimum I can do and still see positive results?

Kyle will get that one…

Bare minimum activity is sharing something on a social network but always make sure your priority remains building quality content. Do not let anything interfere with this, not even social. It will lead to much more short term and long term success and yes, more social engagement. See this lesson here….

 

My Social Media Self Evaluation Process

Previous day posts (post 1 , post 2) cover what I shall summarise as my lack of confidence in myself to be able to glean anything useful from social media.

I don’t have a following on any network, and I don’t really use Facebook (where I do actually have some friends  )

I also really want to focus on creating content.

So my ‘why’ for all the social networks is…

1. Increase traffic
2. Gain links back to my website
3. Brand presence

Any thing else will be a bonus.

Going forward I may choose to increase activity and even start to be proactive in discussions.

My How is…

1. Adding my unique content (text, video, and image)
2. Posting other peoples relevant content.

I an delighted to offer support and help but would like to try and focus that on email, website comments, Facebook page comments, and whatever results from Google +.

I now have accounts with…

Facebook Page
YouTube Channel
Google +
Pinterest
Twitter

And plan on adding…

Instagram
Wordpress.org free blog
Blogger free blog
Tumblr free blog
Reddit

I plan on sharing a lot (70%) of other peoples (good relevant) content on these sites. I don’t want these sites to be obvious self promotion.

I feel good about this strategy to start with. A bit of a cop out maybe, but I can become more adventurous as things develop.

I should also be able to get this done in about 1 hour a day (we’ll see).

Today’s Objective
Decide upon and publish my social media strategy post

Complete my Daily Actions

Output
This social media strategy post

Time Taken
3 Hours
