Staff Review: Affiliate Classroom

Here's a new staff review of Anik Singal's Affiliate Classroom. This staff member was interested in honing her affiliate marketing skills and want to take a sneak peek on what was inside, so it was a perfect product for her to review. The site has recently been updated and upgraded and here's what she had to say:

----- START STAFF REVIEW ----

Who’s it for:
Beginner to intermediate marketers. It's NOT for anyone who has been building successful affiliate sites.

What’s Included:
Special deals/discounts
Forums
Blog
Keyword Estimator
Cloacked Link Coder
AC Magazine Archives
Training System
Expert Interviews
Case Studies
Tutorials

More Details:

Everything is nicely organized with the areas very easily accessible. You know exactly where to go when you log-in. The main attraction to this membership is the step-by-step program they have in place. For beginners, it won’t be overwhelming. They basically hold your hand through the whole process of building a new affiliate site.

They start you with what they call an SBS (Step-by-Step) Training. You enter a name for this project. It takes you to Step #1 – Research Niche Products. You have a guide and tutorials to review. Then you create an Affiliate Program Profile. Once you complete your assignments, you go on to Step #2.

This is the hand-holding you’ll get throughout the program. It’s also why it’s not for advanced marketers and those who have found success already. I believe it would be a little too ‘simple’.

I do believe it’s a great program for someone who wants a plan of what to do and how to do it. There isn’t any guesswork here. The forum is also a great way to connect with other affiliate marketers to bounce ideas off of.

----- END STAFF REVIEW ----

Sound like if you're at the beginning of your Affiliate marketing journey and you really like to have everything laid out for you - at a more reasonable price than hiring a full-on coach/mentor - this might be worth checking out. Joining Affiliate Classroom is simply a $1 investment for your trial period and then $29.95 per month after that.

Thanks for the information, Alice. It looks like something that would be good to look into, especially if you're new to affiliate marketing.

Thanks for all the good information. I have a question for Alice.

After joining the Affiliate Classroom, do the students require to use their hosting service and domain registering? I have come across similar programs on the internet where it is mandatory to use their services, some of which can increase your monthly cost substantially.

Thanks.
