Beginners affiliate marketing system

172

I've been thinking a lot recently about basic affiliate marketing techniques for the novice affiliate marketer. I think sometimes people start learning an affiliate marketing system but get overwhelmed by too much information.

And then they give up.

So I spent about a week going through literally hundreds of affiliate marketing and online business courses that I own to find one that met the following criteria:

  1. The system would not require a website. For some people this is a huge stumbling block, so I searched for basic affiliate marketing strategies that do not require a website – (note this one sometimes requires a VERY BASIC free website/blog with a domain, which is covered in the product – please check Michael Brown's comments in the comments section below if this concerns you).
  2. Ideally the beginners affiliate marketing system would focus on only one or two affiliate marketing techniques that were repeatable and effective in driving sales and leads.
  3. It had to be fairly easy, but still effective. I mean there are plenty of easy affiliate marketing techniques that don't work. Obviously, you don't want THOSE. LOL.
  4. I wanted to find a basic affiliate marketing system for you that only requires one or two hours a week. Certainly after seeing results, you might put more time into it. But it's been my experience that people are relunctant to really work at a system until they are seeing some real results.
  5. The system had to be designed for a novice affiliate marketing person. In other words, it had to be right for someone who knows nothing about marketing online.
  6. The system had to cover affiliate marketing techniques that experienced online marketers use. Too many affiliate marketing systems aimed at newbies cover techniques that professional affiliate marketers really don't use. In other words, I want you to master something that you can use for the long-term in your business.
  7. The system had to be designed in such a way to allow you to generate ongoing profits from work you do once.
  8. The affiliate marketing system had to be such that you could use it to promote just about any type of product or service.

Important update (I've pulled these comments from Michael Brown – the creator of this product from the comments section):

"You do not need a website… period.

But, some of the places require that you have a domain. A very easy workaround for this is to just buy a domain for $10 a YEAR. If you're unsure what a domain is it's simply a URL like http://www.workathometruth.com

OR… Simply go to http://www.blogger.com and make a free blogger account and make a domain from there both which are explained in Mega Classified Millions and on the training area of Mega Classified Millions that features 4 videos to help get your campaigns kick started."

After scouring my hard drive and going around my office looking at tons of huge business courses I paid some serious cash for (don't worry this course literally costs just about 265 times LESS than the price of the most expensive training I've bought to date – training that cost me $7,970.00 if you care to know)…and AFTER applying the above criteria to all the possible choices, click here to see the surprising simple beginners affiliate marketing system I found for you.

Nothing down here but us wordpress tags. :-)

When I was a newbie internet marketer it used to drive me balmy that no one was prepared to simply set out exactly how the pieces of the affiliate marketing puzzle fit together in a workable, practical system. Having the right system can be invaluable. It's something I've developed for new to intermediate marketers to give them a leg up into the industry, and it sounds like you have too. Nice!

Hey all,

I'm Michael Brown author and creator of Mega Classified Millions. Paul is actually correct in his assessment of Mega Classified Million being great for newer folks. When I was first getting started online before I developed Mega this is how I made some really great money.

You do not need a website… period.

But, some of the places require that you have a domain. A very easy workaround for this is to just buy a domain for $10 a YEAR. If you're unsure what a domain is it's simply a URL like http://www.workathometruth.com

OR… Simply go to http://www.blogger.com and make a free blogger account and make a domain from there both which are explained in Mega Classified Millions and on the training area of Mega Classified Millions that features 4 videos to help get your campaigns kick started.

I spoke with Advaliant (an affiliate ad network) personally and they assured me that blogger accounts are still fine to use and other people whoa re clients of mine have signed up to shareasale and CJ with blogger accounts.

Just a quick tip and fast work around for anyone having any issues trying to get approved by the ad networks.

So, you do not need a website to use Mega Classified Millions.

Thanks and enjoy the system!

Hi Mr. work at home,

I am a subscriber of the workathome truth, I read your web site everyday. I am very interested in the affiliate marketing system Mega Classified Millions you recommended, since I know nothing about affiliate marketing at all, so this system is perfect for me. I am going to join it and there is an additional product "7 Day Info Product Greatness". Should I purchase this product at the same time as I am a brand new learner for marketing online, I am afraid it would confuse me with both products. Can you please give me a bit of advice.
Thanks!

Gidday,

My names Adrian I am from Auckland, New Zealand. I tried to send you an email the other day but am unsure whether it went through. Need some advice.

In short I know nothing about Affiliate Marketing (and while I use it everyday very little about the internet) until about a week ago I stumbled across a web site trying to sell an Affiliate Marketing ebook.

I have spend a lot of time over the last few days looking into it, and am very interested in having ago at it.

Using your website as a guide I have weeded down the list of potential programs to 4, but I don't know which one would be best for me to purchase in the 1st instant to get going.

The 4 I like the look of are Niche Blitzkrieg, BANS, MegaGlassifiedMillions and The Silent Sales Machine.

Could you please advice which one in your opinion is the best. I know you rated Niche Blitzkrieg as the #1 on your site, but from what I have seen Niche, Mega and Sales Machine seem very similar, infact the websites are a bit to similar (I'm a bit paranoid about money making schemes on the internet) and only BANS seems to have a very different approach to the others with a very believable website etc.

Sorry about the long winded comment.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Adrian.

Hi Paul,
I like your "no hype" style – we definitely need more of that in this business! Thanks for sharing your insights and information. On your point #4, you mention that you've noticed people's reluctance to put more than a few hours per week into a system until they see results. I've seen that, as well. Must be human nature! :) Thanks again! Kath

Hi Paul,

As a beginner I am looking at Mega Millions as a lead in to Affiliate marketing.

As a Newbie I have to ask two dumb questions.

Does one need a list to do this business and:

Can you do it if you don't have a product.

I would appreciate your time in response.

Regards

Paul,

Thank you for your quick resonse to my question. Would it be too much to ask which Home Business or Self funding Business you would recommend for me, baring in mind I have…no list…no product…!!!

I'm a retired person but willing to work to suppliment my fixed income

Paul,

Here I am again with my apologies. I must be getting dyslectic…..misread your reply, thought you said it required list and product. Again my apologies.

Anyhow perhaps you could respond to the other part of my question….which business you would recommend in my case.

Kind Regards

Paul:

Convinced mega classified millions would be best for the newbie to start with, but what is the income potential with this. I have not seen this addressed either in the sales literature for the course or in these comments. Naturally, this figure would depend on how much time one is willing to put into it.

Ann,

I'm the creator of Mega Classified Millions, Niche Blitzkrieg and about 20 other products.

It's extremely hard to give income projections and that's why I hardly put them in my advertising. If you notice someone hitting you over the head repeatedly telling you that you're going to earn $X,XXX a day or more, etc. – run. Way too many factors are relevant to give accurate projections If you commit to the course you can make some good money for yourself though.

Your last statement really sums it all up. People who go into the course and actually use the knowledge presented to them and just go "do it" are the ones who typically come out on top. Learn, apply, succeed and keep going.

Hi Folks,
Its the "Newbie" here. Just joined Mega Millions and looking forward to learning the system.

Michael, does the download only come in Winzip form. Looks like I will have to pay for Winzip to open it (my Free Winzip was out of date) or hopefully I can get another Free copy of Winzip which I'm about to try now.

Any other advice would be appreciated.

I have noticed in my research for a home based business that there is a lot of company's that put other company's down to get you to there site and even some of the scam and online reviews try to recommend you to a supposed legit business, you seemed to be straight forward, but with all the competion out there, is it really possible to make money for a beginner in these kind of home based buisness and advertising markets.

HI Paul,

Thank you, yes, I received the e-book and have been reading it thru. I have done so a couple of times now since this is all new to me.

I have not joined usfreeads yet just getting familiar with the material.

I can see now there is quite a bit to take in and do, firstly sorting out what to sell and then making up ads with the best selected key words. Having never written an ad before its a bit daunting, but we'll see how it goes.

Thank you for asking, its good to know someone is "out there" who undetstands what I am trying to do. No-one in my world here has a clue.

Kind Regards
Jean

Hi Jean K,
I was wondering how you are doing with MEGA CLASSIFIED MILLIONS. How hard was it to make an Ad. I am thinking of buying it but wanted to know a little more about it. I want to make sure making an Ad is to hard. I do not want to try something if I am not sure I am good at it or it will be to much of a struggle. I only say this because after reading what you had said to Paul ("Having never written an ad before its a bit daunting, but we'll see how it goes"),makes me feel unsure. I have never written one either.
Thanks,
Vivian

Hi Vivian,
Please do not be swayed by what I said. I think I just needed a bit of encouragement on that day.

I haven't done one yet as "family matters" have been taking up my time but I think , really, writing the ad should not be so difficult.

They need to be short and to the point, just like most classified ads one sees elsewhere, and use the old advertisers trick of mentioning the Product 3 times in the ad.

Mega Classified Millions is a good training manual to introduce you to the marketing pricipals and tools on the Net and the support network is first class. My problems have been answered without delay which is very important.

Have fun and go for it.
Kind Regards
JeanK

What is the difference between "Megga Classified

done anything like this before. I don't have a lot of
capitol so I want it to count! I want to be able to put money
back into the business to grow it and make a good return on
my investment without it being too complicated or take too
long to make money. I'm willing to learn ; not afraid to work!
I just don't want to "spin my wheels"!!

Michael S Brown
9:31 pm #

Roger,

Both system are extremely different. In case you don't know, I'm the guy who created both Mega and AMR.

Mega teaches you how to make money without building a website. You may have to make a small free blogger blog (which i show you how to do) with Mega to get into some of the affiliate networks, but that's it.

AMR teaches you how to build a website from scratch from A-Z. Then how to monetize it , market it, and rank it in the top 10 on Google. AMR is a more complete system where Mega is more of shorter simplified course. Also with AMR it's all training via video and like a classroom setting. You'll feel like you're watching m do everything and then you follow along with me. Some people love this style of learning, some hate it.

AMR will require a bit more work and focus time but ultimately is far superior in my opinion.

If you have any other questions please post them I'd be happy to help.

Hi Paul and Michael,

I find this site very interesting. I'v tried The work at home millionaire with Michael Matthews which i think is a scam because it cost me more to advertize for him than i actually made which is zero, nothing!!! I'v tried ads on google (ppc) and know how it works, i'v tried being a affiliate also and have learned that it's easy for them to tamper with your affiliate name so they get the sale and you lose out. Do you teach about this in any of your programs. I gave up on affiliates because i was so frustrated by it yet i haven't given up on learning how to make money online. Can you recommend a good program where i won't get screwed again. Sorry for being a little harsh,not trying to scare people off your site, just sick of all the bullshit on the net and really don't want to fork out more money that i already have unless it's actually going somewhere if you know what i mean.

Paul and Michael,

I have a few questions regarding Mega Classified Millions. I am brand new to affiliate marketing — as in, a month ago, I didn't even know what it was. ;) I have a keener grasp on it, but it's still very tenuous. Please be gentle and speak to me as though I were a third-grader, okay?

If I went this route, I would prefer to use blogger at first. I did register my domain; however, I've decided to do something personal with it for the time being. Not to mention, the website that I (tried to) design(ed) is not fit for public consumption. Blogger is within my realm of capability.

I am a **modestly*** succesful blogger, drawing around 100 comments daily. Occasionally, I can draw a crowd if I pick a more controversial topic. I have never considered meshing the ideas of my creative language and affiliate marketing together; do you think that this can be done tastefully and appropriately? Or will it be off-putting to readership?

Should I just start over with a new blog/site for purposes of learning affiliate marketing?

Oh, one more thing — I operate on Mac OS platform. Problems with this in the future?

Raconteur
8:46 pm #

Paul –

I'm working on a new Macbook. Macs rule! :)

Not to sound like a completely dork here, but my blog is actually a "top blog" on a social networking site. Judging from the number of hits it receives, and the success of bloggers who took their blogs out of that particular forum, I think that I could do quite well if I translated it into my own forum.

I really prefer NOT to use Blogger/Blogspot; in a perfect world, I'd have Dreamweaver at my fingertips (that program rules!). But first, baby steps. My plan is to incorporate Adsense and drive the blog up the rankings. This is where I am critically deficient — in this particular area. And I have been told by successful bloggers that this is the most crucial aspect to promoting any blog.

I have considered the dry, left-brained approach, but I don't think that I could get that motivated to support it. There are a couple of blogs that I'm thinking of that have managed to rank themselves way up there by providing quality content AND advertising. One of them is a very clever review site for women's cosmetics. The level of interactivity amongst commentors and the site owners is high. Clearly, they are an Amazon affiliate; I'm also seeing a lot of Ebay advertisements on the site that promote the products they review. I don't mind going there because, like your site, it provides dual services — information AND retail information. (If that makes any sense at all!)

In time, I would like to fully develop my own website with a lot of bells and whistles. But lacking the affiliate marketing experience, I need to choose the slow and steady route for a while, lest I do something stupid and lose my shirt! :) Sounds like MCM might be helpful in helping me with get ranked, yes –?

Raconteur
9:14 pm #

Excellent place to start — thanks so much!!!

I'm working with a blogger who's using WordPress; he has nothing but bad-bad-bad things to say about it, unforunately. I've not used it. The cosmetics blog was on BlogHarbor.

If I can drive up my rankings, I feel I can keep readership coming back, and that appears to be the hardest thing to do.

Oh — thanks for turning me onto Squidoo, BTW! I explored that a little bit last night, too. ;)

Michael S Brown
9:43 pm #

Kise,

I am the creator of the program…

You don't need your own product. You'll be promoting products from affiliates programs. You'll earn money off of each sale. I show you how to get into affiliate programs and make money without your own product.

With an affiliate program you sell OTHER people's products and get paid part of those sales or sometimes you generate "leads" for them and get paid for the leads.

But you don't handle the products at all – that's all done by the product owners.

WordPress seems like it's going to be my cuppa, having seen all the bells and whistles. Something tells me that I just won't be happy with Blogger over time due to the limitations. I set up a basic blogsite when I was interviewing (on which to post a resume, pictures, and writing samples), and it was very limiting. I don't like working with pre-made templates. No.

The $27 isn't a huge investment — as long as it's Mac compatible! I'm off to read that review …

Thanks so much for your help. Oh, in case I didn't mention it, you have a great site here. Good to know that there are some people who are telling the truth about what it takes to be successful in affiliate marketing, rather than spinning yarns of "easy money." I really do appreciate that! :)

Thanks Michael,
I work in a retail store, my mother works in a grocery store, and my father is unemployed, and we all live together and we barely can pay the rent. So I cant afford to try things that don't work for us. This is affecting my family so much, depression is all you can see on their faces. So would you still recommend Mega Classified Millions for me? I mean, is it guaranteed that I will make good money out of it ?
Thanks again.

But 3 last questions about Mega Classified Millions. What about the refund policy of Mega Classified Millions? And if using Mega Classified Millions, can you just keep on and on promoting products of other people using Ads only (not a website or a product)? And lastly, what about the $10 monthly payment? Can you cancel anytime?

I appreciate it.

Hi,
I bought Mega, and I've been reading it in the past 3 days. I did some of the steps but there is one problem. I'm having problems in joining affiliate networks. Because the manual and the videos do not show how to sign up (there are some questions that I don't know how to answer when signing up). Also, how do you make a domain if you don't know yet what you are promoting? because using Blogger.com you need to make a title and description and everything before you can have the domain. Bottom line, I'm having difficulty in joining networks.

Thank You.

Michael Brown
9:50 pm #

Kise,

I am the creator of Mega this should help shed some light….

First and foremost do the keyword research as the product explains. Once you determine a niche you want to get in join an affiliate network. If you're having trouble joining because many of them need a domain you'll need to create a free blogger blog. You will see this in video #4 the one labeled "The Most Important Video" and it also has a caption underneath explaining that this is what you might need to do for some sites like shareasale etc. Advaliant will take you pretty quick but recently for some reason have been slow to respond.

On a blogger blog you won't need a domain as it's hosted at http://www.blogger.com for you.

So make sure you do your keyword research and all the steps in the book and then watch video #4 again as that will help you GREATLY.

Thanks,
Michael

I've been reading the site to order Mega Classified Millions.
I know how to surf the net but I am not really internet savvy.
I don't have a lot of money right now but I do have a lot of time so if I purchase it then I would be able to give it my all.
I noticed that it is a $10 a month charge, right?
On top of that, I would have to pay at least almost $7 per month for a domain name?
How many domains would I need to start making a profit in a month?
One? two? five? ten?
Like I said, I don't have a lot of money.
The last thing I need is to be nickeled and dimed to death.
It starts adding up.
Any input on overall cost?

Hi Michael

As a complete novice in affiliate marketing I just got too overwhelmed with NB although would like to try it later on. I am still interested and really want to find something that I can start with and succeed with. I want so much to work at home, and at this point earn some money as I continue to grow. Which system would you suggest as a starting point? I feel really bad as I have asked for a refund on the NB; I just know that there must be something for me to start off with.

Thanks so much!!

Michael Brown
7:56 pm #

Vickie,

Hi I am the creator of Niche Blitzkrieg. Paul showed me this post. Don't feel bad for asking for a refund we fully understand your concerns as someone that is completely new. The system is designed that you break down each part and go through it very slowly while you're learning. But, because it's not right for some people we always honor refunds when someone feels that way. It's just simply not for everybody. :)

As for a starting place you might try Mega Classified Millions. It has similar concepts but you set up classified ads and not full sites. A lot of people who couldn't really get into NB loved Mega because it seems a lot easier.

If you have any questions you can also email us anytime. From the email that is on the niche blitzkrieg site or mega classified site. I don't want to post it in here for spam reasons.

Michael

Thank you Michael for understanding. I really appreciate it as I feel a little down about NB, it just sounds so great and everything, but, I will plow on to find what's right for me. I will definitely give Mega Classified Millions a try!!!

Vickie,

I think Mega can work for most people. I think Niche Blitzkrieg is the all around best way to start. But, if NB was too complex Mega is for sure the best choice after. It's easy to implement and we walk you through everything. Of course, as always if you find that it's not for you we can refund the product. That's why we offer that :)

Hope this helps.

i read ur ebook but have confusion somewhere. can u clear it?

Another easy fast technique is to sign up for another free classified ad network and
linking your new ad to your old ad.
So lets say, my ad we talked about earlier was listed on usfreeads. I would then
sign up for another classified ad site and write a brief ad with the back link going
to my original classified ad.

i did not understand how a backlink of new ad will go to old ad, and how we should do it?

You would simply copy the URL of your ad.\
Then make a new ad on a different classified ad site and ad that url to your ad.. if they have a place where you can ad a link.. just paste that link into the box and then you have a link, linking back to that ad.

Let me know if you need more help in fact submit your questions to http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com for a more detailed response as I don't want to use workathometruth.com as my tech support or help desk form.

Hi, I am new to all these.
First, I bought the Megamillions last night. The download link I got was fine except I can download the ebooks but not the videos.Any tips?
Second, From the Megamillions ebooks folder, I got one which says, `Read First` . It asked me to join Michael`s affiliate program. I was not told whether I have to pay extra for that as it was not mentioned.
Third, I submitted two tickets to ask for assistance but I never received any reply from the support team or the ticket numbers. Please help.
Thanks.

Felix,

Did you send this to my support desk at http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com

I saw you sent an email to my personal email late afternoon/ early evening and I forwarded my team the ticket but it was probably too late for them to answer the ticket today.

I usually have someone at the desk from 10-4 or 5 PM EST.

Joining my affiliate program is OPTIONAL and if you do there is no charge at all.

I'll check up with the support team and make sure they get you some help asap. Make sure all future support tickets head to http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com for the fastest support.

Hi there,
I still have no news whether I could download the 4 videos from the Megamillions site or not. I wish to download them so I can watch them offline. Please help.
Thank you again.

Felix,

As mentioned in one of my previous posts my help desk won't be in until 10 AM EST. After that point you should receive something shortly.

Please wait on the help desk. I don't want to clog Work At Home Truth up with support issues as this is not a support forum. Someone will help you shortly.

So sorry again for this. As I said before, I am new to all these. Will slow here and get a better picture before I do anything rash once more.Thanks for bearing with me.

Your order form for your ebook "Mega Classified Millions" was about to be completed when, lo and behold, I noticed that the form indicated a charge of $49.94 when it was previously stated that the price would be $29.97 for that information.

How come? Please reply ASAP Thank you!!!!!

Michael Brown
4:32 pm #

Leonard,

Thanks for your inquiry. That price would be because you ordered the additional e-book 7 day info product greatness, with it. You had an option during your order to add the product and you must have added it.

If you didn't want it simply contact our help desk at http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com

…and we'll get that adjusted for you.

Thanks Paul for pointing this out.

HI PAUL:I sent you a e-mail through workathome.this is not about the above at this time.since there is another KEN,i'll try KT.this is in regards to the link you set up for spyzooka.
when you go in the name or url shows blue penguin, something like that.there's many out there claiming to fix viruses & errors on your pc and only make it worse which cost hundreds of dollars to get fixed so you lose twice.can you tell me who this spyzooka is accredited by? have you used their soft ware?
since they show micrsoft on their site do i have to email microsoft and ask if they are affiliated with spyzooka.
let me know ok
thank you KT

I have bought the Megamillions and gone through it. I followed the instructions but I find it not so accurate.The part which says I do not need a website and telling me to register at ShareAsale.They need me to have a website which should be up and running in order to approve my application.
I have since then purchased a domain and yet they say no. I tried 3 times to get the megamillions supportteam for help but never received any reply for the tickets I submitted. Anyway, this taught me not to be too trusting online from now on.

Michael Brown

Felix,

The instructions are accurate. We've sold thousands of copies. We even have videos that show you how to go through it if you're stuck. You must have missed video #4 where we show you exactly how to do this. In any event – this is not a support forum.

If you need support you need to send us a ticket at http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com if you have not gotten a response back it means we never got your support ticket. As we are quite thorough on support and make our support to our clients and customers #1. Please submit your ticket with my support desk and we'll help you get through your issue.

Thank you,

I tried out Niche Blitzering, sorry for the misspelling. I also tried profit cash. I really liked the format of the first one but it is very involved and what they dont tell you is that you will have to find an article writer to be successful with this system if you are new.
Michael is great and the videos are great but it was just too involved for me. The refund took one day so they are fantastic at customer service as well.
Profit cash is o.k but the tools for 27 a month do nothing to help. The lauch tool is outdated and I was not able to find any placement targeting ads and I looked for 24 hours.
I have tried to get a refund through them but with no response. Thanks Paul for the instructions as I will use that to get my money back.
Now on to my question. I know that nothing is guaranteed but why does it seem like everytime you buy one of these products, everyone has saturated the market with the techniques and it makes it difficult to work? I will try your advice but as you can see this whole process is very frustrating for me.
Thanks for listening.
Mitchell

thank you for your reply paul regarding spyzooka. i do not believe i said i was having a problem with them.if it sounded that way then that's wrong.spyzooka sent back a price for their services.something like $29 plus change,then through their offer per their ad page an additional discount for the regular spyzooka.so let me correct any misunderstandings,i wanted to verify through you or microsoft that they can perform as they state regarding viruses,errors,etc.i read a indebth report on scambusters.org regarding all these so called services (we can fix your problems)as soon as you open their link from these scam artist they can take all your private info and you'll download many viruses.they state,do not even open that email offer because when you do they can not only steal your info but reck your system as well then they always state you have viruses,try and scare you to pay them that you need them now.here is the legit security sites that scambusters.org list.symantec,mcafee,trend,avg,kaspersky.
oh i have a much older system then yours.windows 98.my system is so slow with what i can afford dsl,it's so slow i can walk my message to you before my system can send it.LOL oh just to mention this. michael brown sounds like one of the good guys i don't know if i'll try his mega system as yet i'm still following comments regarding peoples views of his systems.i do not think people are actually following his systems directions michael has to keep asking the same people to contact him through his system and not turn your site into their trouble shooting for his system.he mentions it over and over.seems clear to me!don't you think so paul.

Mitchell Mahaffey
7:52 pm #

Thank you so much for the reply. I will go to that website. Project Quick Cash is o.k. but if you buy the automation tools you get alot of errors and the launch tool is outdated. They have products that were release in July and August and there is nothing about September.
Anyways, I really appreciate the response and I think from previous posts I will try Mega Millions. I have almost given up trying to make money online but I ll try this one and give it a shot. Michael seems like a nice guy that wants people to succeed.
Have a great day

Mitchell Mahaffey
7:55 pm #

One more thing, Project Quick Cash seems like a great idea but it is very hard to make money. I forgot to mention that he gives you links of 3 more ebooks to buy just to understand the material. This is not stated on the sale page.
Just thought I would give you a heads up so any more reviews about this product are up to date.
Thanks Again

on spyzooka they list windows 95/98 so that would be my system.i read the link you list for spywarrior. thank you.let me ask you this, have you heard of error fix? i have not signed up with them as yet but do have the first part of their system on my computer.it comes up every day moves through all files and such and says i have 107 errors from everything like temp files and more.it moves through my system in a blink of an eye.but you have to register to get the complete version.now would you know or ask this spywarrior.

HI PAUL.I believe you said you would be re-testing mega classified. love to see your results. regarding jean k's comment about createing your own ad.i know she comes back to reply to a vivian.but i would like to know is, you have to create your own ad? what if that is not one of your true talents? there are actaul pro's out there that create ad's
and their so bad that the company would of been better off just showing the product alone.for a newbie just starting would that get a person frustrated and possibly turned off?
and choosing the best adwords? am i misunderstanding something here? doesn't michael help in that dept or do you have to hit or miss on your own.

KEN
11:18 pm #

HI PAUL:ken here once again. hopefully some one passed this on to jean k that the companies will provide the ad's that should really make the process much easier.what about those or the one who had difficulty getting in because they did not have a web-site and even with a domain name, did not help.
or is michael saying they just went about it wrong. i know to everything, there are stumbleing blocks but as a newbie for people a stumble block which is minor to the seasoned is a mountain to them.after you retest this mega i believe i'll do it any way just to truly see for once can promises really be kept. money back is easy! but to truly bring success to those that need it. that's the proof in the pudding. don't you agree

Mega Classified Millions Review
I first bought the Niche Blitz program but it was too involved and a little confusing. A few days ago I bought the MCM program and I think it is a good program but I am getting realy frustrated at the way these are coming across us newbies.
If you have the program go find Michaels ad's at the place he tells you to set up your classifieds. He has custom websites for most everything. You do get a domain and website builder but you have to buy the 10 parts for 6 dollars each. I have learned that with this program it is easy but without a website it is very hard to generate traffic. I have only 15 hits in 6 days. He has 1800 in 6 days with his webkinz website. This is really starting to make me so frustrated because there is always a catch to making money online and being successful.
Thank You

Paul,

I really (really!) appreciate having found your website after ALMOST getting scammed by a work@home website last week. I should have done my due diligence and checked them out on the Internet first. Now I check EVERYTHING out and your website is the best.

I checked out your Top 10 recommended sites, sorted through them, and have narrowed it down to one of Michael Brown products. It got down to Mega Classified Millions (MCM) when I also found AMR (Affiliate Money Revolution). I watched some of the free videos and checked out the upgrade @ $77; the forum looks like a valuable tool.

Being a newbie, would you recommend going with MCM or is AMR complete enough to just jump in there from the get go?

Thanks.

Chris

Michael Brown
3:05 pm #

Chris,

Paul alerted me to this question – so I wanted to personally come answer it. If you are brand new to online marketing or making money online both are going to be helpful. However, niche blitzkrieg and amr going into more detail. This makes these programs very useful.

I am not saying that MCM wouldn't work in fact we've had members make $250 or more in the first month with MCM with very little work. I tell people who ask me this question to always go for AMR or Niche Blitzkrieg first and then later on get into MCM. However, either way you do it can work and we've had success with brand new people in both products.

If you need any further help contact our support at http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com and I'll get someone to give you some more details.

Thanks,
Michael Brown

Mitchell,

I understand your frustration… but….
I disagree with what you say completely. There is no catch to make money online. I specifically show you how to get traffic to your ads. If you're not doing the suggested of course you're not going to get much traffic to your ads.

Make sure you're following the course properly. If you'd like us to take a look at one of your ads we'd be happy to. Send any support to http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com and we'll have someone help check one of your ads out to see if we can help offer advice.

Mitchell Mahaffey
10:03 pm #

Michael, I apologize if any of the comments I made were offensive. I think you have alot of great knowledge and are a very nice person to share your experience to help people make money.
I was just saying that I see you have your own websites for alot of the products to work with MCM. I was just frustrated because that e book you get domain builder toolkit, it makes you pay 6 dollars for each part of the book. The ads are easy and work fine. It just seems that with people not spending money and me having to try to get traffic directed to my ads, that makes it frustrating. I am doing everthing you have said but I am only getting 8 hits a day. I did contact support and they said my ads look fine. Your webkinz stuff you did has tons of hits and you have your own dedicated website. I just wish I could do the same but the this is all new to me and very confusing at times.
Thanks again for the response.

KEN
10:45 pm #

HI PAUL:question,since it's all about marketing your products or someone elses products.i seen that tweeter has vamped up their system and it's free to tweet,tweet,tweet.so could that be a avenue to market goods?

Michael Brown
7:59 pm #

Mitchell,

Not offended at all. We want to be able to help you, that's all. I am just telling you flat out – the system works. I just retested by posting an add on September 18th and since putting the ad on and adding a few backlinks to it (as suggested in the manual) the ad was in the top 10 on google and already has 444 hits and has accounted for an increase in sales.

The webkinz ad does have a dedicated website but you honestly don't need a dedicated website – I just have one. If you want to learn to build a profitable website you need something like Niche Blitzkrieg.

You're referring to Kevin's book that is included with the course. You actually do not need those add on modules that Kevin has. Part of allowing me to use his product for free with the course was I had to allow him to include those links… so it's a great bonus for my Mega customers for free. But, you only need that main book no need to purchase any separate courses.

Remember to write a few articles pointing to your ad to help boost your ads up. In any event let's take the rest of the conversation into the help desk. http://www.michaelbrownsupport.com as I appreciate Paul letting us trouble shoot here but really I want to make sure we give you the best help possible.

I'm very interested in starting a part time internet business, and I've been doing a lot of research on which program to try. After reading several reviews and going to the work at home truth website, Mega Classified Millions looks like a good honest program to try. My one question though is this. How do you recieve money buy using Mega Classified Millions. I'm sure it's based upon commission, but who pays your commission, and how do you receive payment.

JUST a thought here:i wanted to join one of the systems or programs you reviewed wealthy affiliate.how ever just as i was excited to join.my questions to support for them now say there are system reqirements for it to work.such as straight connection and not dail up connection and you need firefox browser. well what if all you have to work with is windows 98 and internet explorer,and a dail up service.if it's not going to work they should just come out and say so whats better then that.it should be stated on the front page of their website that their are system requirements.there are no refunds they state that plainly. so what if i joined and was'nt told this? i have asked every question and in every combination to weathy affiliate's support before i join will this work or not.all i get is you may have problems. not saying what or anything.any one want to field this one and please no bashing because i know there's countless people still useing windows 98 because they can't afford to just junk what they have.

KEN
5:51 pm #

HI PAUL: question are there system requirements for any of
MICHAEL BROWN'S PROGRAMS? and would my old system handle it.
just to mention this but everyone raves about MR BROWN'S
niche blitkrieg on google. and he must be good if he didn't
get bashed on ripoff.com and thats virtually impossible.
and on scambusters.org zero complaints and i trust them as millions do.I am not the type to give up back up or back down.
i'll make something work because i remember what got me to this point.

understood about starting with a cheaper program to earn the funds for a updated system.of course your right on that one
so i take it that MICHAEL BROWN'S systems need higher then windows 98? what would be needed? like windows xp,windows 2000
windows vista? i don't want to invest in a computer until
i know what works.i'm sure brand new computer and the latest software would work. but what can i get by on. ken

I've been reading this whole webpage and I really like how Paul takes care and maintains his website. Great job mate :)

I am really interested in the AMR. I signed up for 15$ for therichkids.com which has some basic (too basic) information on affiliate marketting, seems like I would do better with that AMR. I tried other stuff but it wasn't for me.

I like the thought of video training. Pause and execute, play over… Get the things down packed, as I am a visual learner. Reading for ever just seems like a waste of time and I think this is what drives a lot of people away from the so-called, work at home programs.

I always say "You get what you pay for"; don't be shocked if you don't get anything out of something that costed you nothing.

What kind of money can I expect for fork out after I buy your system? Some say "nothing" you never have to spend another dime; but that is just half a sentence. Should end by "if you want to progress anywhere it will cost you thousands and thousands before you see a dime of it back".

Really scary when you pay so much for something that doesn't deliver at all and when you're unsatisfied, you don't get any of it back.

I realize that to grow a business you have to put money into it. However, I'm just fed up with empty promises and shady services and programs that always want more money and "gang up" together so you HAVE to buy all their gimicks to make something work.

I'll say, so far, I like what I'm seeing… However, in a virual world, who do you trust…

Have a pleasant day :)

Charlie
10:17 pm #

Hey Paul!

Well, you're not the creator of AMR but I am very pumped about it. It's nice to see some people with some dignity left. I think it's great that you monitor your website and help people out. I've been scammed pretty good before ($2000) worth and don't want to repeat the same mistakes.

I'm ok with computers but definitely not savvy… Yeah, I can turn it on and off and fix minor problems, building a website, no way in hell I can do that.

I tried the whole selling on e-bay thing but ended up buying more than selling. I've lately grown a shine towards affiliate marketting because eventually, it can become "set it and forget it" without a lot of work.

I realize that the toughest/longest parts are at the beginning. However, I don't want to be stuck in the same predicament I currently am in.

"To be sucessful, I need to set up business in the USA" Cost 750$ set up + 50$ per month for administration fees" This is just for legal rights to do business within the USA.
"To cut myself a ton of hours of work I have to purchase software called "auctiontouch.com"" Another 750$.

Customer support is rather lowsy and never gives straight answers, like I'm playing a guessing game or something; like I'm solving and ancient enigma. Well, I want concrete answers.

IE:
If I ask "How can I increase traffic?". I'd much rather hear "I suggest Google Adsence" rather than "Check the web for an advertising company".

Well, I'm just going and rambling but my questions are:

1-)I got laid-off about a month ago and my funds are limited. If I go and purchase the full version of AMR, along with other than advertizing costs, what are other costs I should prepare/budget for? What arethe hidden fees that may not appear on the member's area?

2-)Is there any kind of guarantee? Refund if not 100% satisfied? I've not seen any.

3-)What SPECIFIC computer skills do I need to be able to get the most ouf of that program? I have zero HTML/php knowledge and it all looks like chinese to me.

4-)How helpful is cutomer support? Is there a toll free like to speakto someone on the phone?

5-)Would you recomment something else? Which one isthe most effective and comprehensive program Michael has?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Thank you for all your answers and insight Paul :)

-I read the NB mini-review, seems rather cheap :)
-I'm sure I could afford the Keyword commando, that seems like a good cheap but worthy investment.
-Since all I have is PayPal, I will deposit some money in and likely order it. Maybe a week or so, since I am Canadian, processes take about 8 days excluding weekends.

Well since you edit this and you may quote me and since you read what goes on before, let me tell you about my experience with this BBB aproved scam…

-I signed up for dropshipdesign.com. I bought the full package for about 300$. You get a website made for you with tons of products that they have and a direct link to post on Ebay. Plus a few more perks.

-A few weeks after, I recieved a phone call from a fella. Told me he noticed that I bought the package and asked how I was doing with it etc. I told the guy that I didn'tget to play much with it but I'm trying to learn how to make it work.

-He asked me if I would be willing to spend some money on learning how to make it successful. I said sure! So then we talked for a while, set up a meeting overthe phone. He then made a big ass case about, to make money you have to spend money and businesses require a nice amount to start with, roughly 3500$ for this type of business.

-He asked me if I had the drive, the passion, wanted to leave my job etc and if I would pay that kind of money if they could send me on my way to becoming self employed, working at home. I said: Well I do have that much money but then I'd be living tight for a while. o he said he would consult with a supervisor to see what they could do for me.

-The day after, I got a call from the same fella. He said his supervisor had agreed to get me started for $1,750. So I was like WOW, good deal! Then they told me that I could pay them the rest later once I start making money. So sure enough, I made a payment of $1,750. They had told me that they would not let me go until I was 100% satisfied.

-It was all cool, I was assigned a coach, through Apply Knowledge Institute. Coaching sessions were roughly 15-20 minutes once a week for 5 weeks, then went from once a month, every month.

-The garage began with all the stuff they were trying to pond on me. First was totalk to a guy from Wyoming about legal structure. He wanted $750 to set up business in the USA, since I am Canadian. Since i fear cabotage laws (meaning, not being USA citizen, if I buy something in the USA and sell it within the USA, that's illegal). I t hought it was great but I had already paid $1,750 to get hooked up with coaching. So I said I'd contact him once I have the funds.

-Next was getting set up with http://www.wholesalematch.com. A website that connects sellers with suppliers, dropshipper and wholesellers, even manufacturor. I was getting a 50% discount because I was through AppliKI. Still costed me $360 for one year. It is a GREAT tool, don't get me wrong. It would be useful if I have a website, already a traffic flow or was an ebay power seller.

Last but not least, auctiontouch.com. A software that makes listing items on ebay, keeping track, suggest prices and the day/times the items were sold. Cost was $750, no deals. I didn't have the money so I didn't worry about it.

Then it started getting horrible at work, got in a streak of bad luck. My laptop's HDD crashed and had to send it in for repairs. Then my phone fell in my coffee. Since it was getting hard to communicate with my boss and customers, it was harder for me to make deadlines and was lay-overed almost every day, sometimes two, so I wasn't making it anymore. Then I hadto take a 3CPM cut. (CPM = Cents Per Mile… I'm a truck driver). Things kep going downhill and I have a really bad relationship with some of the bosses, so I ended up quitting.

Personally, I don't even want to continue with that, all I'm basically learning is posting stuff on Ebay. Since I have no feedback, it makes it tough. Then the coach asked to post anyways but I was not making any progress. The DSD products we are all over priced to sell on ebay. No sence posting something that costs me $0.50 to post is I only make $2 with it. It just seemed all so far fetched to me not not a whole lot.

I still get calls every month from my "coach" for about 15 minutes and all I pretty much get asked is if I have any questions. To be honest, I was expecting more out of the coaching program. What my targetted $$ gain from each sold items, get some help in making some decisions, a more of a step-by-step program, would be nice.

I did learn some stuff tho, how to work with ebay, where to look at, what tools within ebay are useful, but I pretty much gave up on ebay. I'm not a very organized guy and the program just seems to be rather demanding. They make it look so easy, but, it's not really for me. Spending hours posting on ebay, do all the research associated with it for what, $5 an item? It MAY work for some, but I'm looking more at something that I can eventually "set it and forget it".

Besides, I am much better with words. All items I posted on ebay had LOST of page views. My selection of keywords was excellent, according to the coach. Prices weren't all that even though, after all deductions and fees, I was making a mere $5. For me to quit my job, at that price, I would have to post 40 items a day.

Feel free to broadcast on your website, I don't mind sharing my experiences; then maybe someone out there is looking at it and may say: "That's not for me either" or "Exactly what I was looking for".

Seems to me like everything is rather basic and well explained in AMR. I signed up for the free trial and learned more reading the 1st PDA files than I already knew.

Thanks,
Charlie

Does NBK teach ways to get a high amount of traffic to your website? I mean, anyone can build a really nice site in a popular or hot niche but if no one goes there, it's not much better. Traffic = Money; no trafic = you're going out of business. I am looking into buying NBK next week once my paypal money deposit goes through from my bank account; however it's not much use if the system doesn't teach traffic techniques.

Hey Paul!

This is a reply from your post from March 26 (to Roger). It seems like I would work out better with AMR, as you describe it as a more thorough system using all videos. I have watched the free material twice now, it sure seems rather easy as hell for me as I have half decent computer skills, it did sink into my brain rather easily.

I also think using an actual website rather than a simple blog with a domain to be more profitable and more customer friendly. However, it maybe be a lot easier for someone with ZERO computer knowledge and ZERO affiliate marketing experience.

Couple questions. Do any of those systems (NBK & AMR) play around with Google Adsence & Adwords? I am reading a lot about it lately and I have grown an understanding of how those programs work and how they both can be beneficial to affiliates, both for advertising their ads on my site and getting traffic to my website.

Also, I ran into a couple "tools" you might want to call it, and I would like your honest and professional opinion.

1-) Rosalind Gardner's book- The (Gold) Super Affiliate Handbook
2-) Tim Buchalka's- Web Traffic Software
3-) SpeedPPC- (A key words) tool. I can't afford it now but is it worth the $200+. (I saw a demo on YouTube.com which, it does look very interesting)

I will do some research on them when I have the time, right now I have a few ebooks to read and a few videos to watch.

Oh, my suggestion of the day: http://www.associateprograms.com Great site!! No, I do not own it, I'm still learning all this stuff but I find it very useful :)

Cheers!

Wow Paul you're all over the place!! Assiciate programs is what I am looking at right now, lots of great products to promote :)

I never done PPC but I am reading up on that right now as well.

Funny you mention Dan Thiese's free e-book, I was reading on that as well and it is a GREAT e-book, for the value… FREE ROFL 100 pages is rather long tho but has a wealth of information.

Here is the website I am refering to from Tim B- http://www.webtrafficgenius.com/traffic.html

I also picked up yet another free e-book from Joel Comm called AdSence Secrets 4. I ended up loosing the URL and can't remember how I got it, but my bets is you have heard of it. That book is rather long but well worth the read.

Yes, I multitask a lot. If I read to much I tend to start going off track and not paying attention so I jump from one thing to another. I can remember it all, for me it just breaks the monotiny and keeps me interested.

Here's another scam I been read into last night. Pay-Per-Play. Ever heard of it? It's where you get a code to put onyour website, on whatever pages you like and it plays a 5 second ad. You get paid between 1 to 3 cents for every visitor your website gets considering they stay for more than 3 seconds. Sounds amazing right? Revolution of internet marketing right? WRONG.

I again lost the link for the forum I was reading. EVERYONE who attended the website thought it was a horrible idea and a great way to lose paying customers. ALL who commented said if they hear something, especially and ad on a website, they IMMEDIATELY leave and never go back. So the chance of getting people to stay more than 3 seconds is relatively small.

The forum started by posting a letter he got from a fellow named Charles Hiflin, who claims to have been contracted by one of those companies to market the product. The guy who posted, had sent a letter and the letter he got back was actually VERY VERY rude. Charles had claimed that they were offering a $10 CPM ($0.01 per impression) then later came to the forum and said it was much more like $3.50 CPM.

Where is the money? If companies like Coca-Cola and Taco Bell are paying this company but yet I've not seen anyone who has made more than a dollar and this program has been out for over a year.

Personally, if I had a great customer relationship, I would not want to blast their ears with garbage ads.

I appologize Paul, if I seem to be "hi-jacking" your blog :p
It's not my intention, I find you have a really great website, very inspiring :)

Hey Paul!

Well, I'm glad you didn't take my comments as "pirating". I play an online game where "thread hijacking" is rather common practice.

Those who said they wanted to get audio ads said it was propably because thay had asked for it, IE: YouTube.

On the other hand I like your idea of an "entertainment" oriented website, great way to make it not as "obvious". If I landed on a website oriented on hockey sticks and I end up getting an audio ad on women's clothing, I'd be upset and would find that "x" really fast.

However, if you run a "media" based website, it might be an idea to add one of those ads on wach page, as customers will likely expect it, yet again, some people have their speakers full blast listening to music and if a really sketchy "Pizza Place" would be rather off topic and cut click through and might result in bad reviews or reduced traffic.

Paul, this is the forum I refered to when I was speaking about Charles Heflin (NOT to be mistaken with me, I'm the GOOD Charles) LOL

I come to this page first, always. Please, if you post any information, link me up, I'd be extatic to read on it :D

Mr. Work At Home, I've been following Mr. Brown's free AMR downloads.
There is a niche that I'm interested in, except that the product is not
your conventional take-it-off-the-shelf-and-purchase-it item. Having
checked some suppliers, I did find some that indicated how many dealers they had. My question is that if a firm has dealers, is it very likely that a website(blogsite) I build with focus on their type of product will have any potential for earnings? I'm not able to reach the
AMR forum until I have upgraded, or I wouldn't take up your space like this. Just didn't want to set up a site that has no potential, even though I should do it just for the experience. Your advice will be wel-comed. Thanks in advance, Jon.

Hi, Paul. I've had lots of difficulty getting answers to questions that people 'in the know' probably have. Wordpress doesn't seem to be able to point me in the right direction. Problem: my WP posts show up on my homepage. I keep putting them in the trash because even though I followed Michael Brown's procedure, they keep winding up on the homepage. Any advice to avoid this? Please help if you can. Thanks, Jon B.

Jon,

It took me a second to figure out why you didn't post this in our forum but then I realized you mentioned in the previous post that you're just part of the free section.

In any event to answer your question. You need to set you homepage to be a static page by doing the following.

Go to "Reading"

Select the Static button.

Select "front page" and turn the dialer to the name of your home page.

Click "Save".

Then your home page will be a static page and people will not see posts on your home page.

If you need really in depth detail on anything else I really suggest checking out Paul's review on Niche Blitzkrieg… we have a great community that can help you.
