Michael Jones is the creator of The Affiliate Code. I never heard about him before I bumped in his other product that sold many copies on clickbank – The ClickBank Code
I must say that the Clickbank Code was a shitty product (With all do respect). It was a cheap copy of a different product called Commission Blueprint.(Commission Blueprint came out with an updated version called Commission Blue Print 2.0). Both of them talked about affiliate marketing , how to pick a winner product, How to create a profitable Adwords campaign, how to maintain it and how to scale it. The ClickBank Code.
Now don’t get me wrong. Im not saying that that the ClickBank code did a horrible job in delivering the information, its just that the two products were identical, and if you were to choose one of them I would defintley say, go with commission blueprint. The only thing that the Clickbank Code was better then the other, is the Excel spread shit that Micheal Jones presenting in his videos.
This spread shit basically calculates the conversion rates, amount of traffic, its cost and some other factors and gives you an amazing overview of your Adwords campaign. (I couldn’t find this spreadsheet downlodable file in the clicknbank code, so I made my own from what I saw in the videos). (In The Affiliate Code, Micheal Jones uses the same spread shit in one of the first videos).
So that was the situation back then, now Micheal Jones made a smart move, I have to say, and released The Affiliate Code. What I liked the most about the affiliate code is not the good information about how to pick a winner , how to pick your niche or how to build your website. I liked when Micheal Speaks about how to build your list.
This is a subject that the most “How To Make Money Online Courses” never talk about.
Michael explains that when a customer comes to a sales page or some other offer page, most likely that the customer will not buy the product. He explains that the average conversion rate in the internet today is around 1%. That means that only 1 visitor out of 100 visitors that comes to the offer page will buy the product.
So what with all the other 99 visitors?
When you drive traffic to a squeeze page, sale page, offer page, through PPC (Pay Per Click), you pay for every visitor that comes to the website. So if only 1 person buy out of 100 that means that the money you spent on the other 99 persons is gone! And will never come back.
And that is ,my friend, the biggest mistake of affiliates , product owners, and anyone that is trying to market anything online. One way to get around this problem is to Build your list. Building your list may sounds hard and time consuming , no wonder why most marketers don’t bother building a list.You may think that you need to know some programming or web building but none of this is needed.
One of the best aspects of The Affiliate Code Is where Michael Break down the process and clearly explain how anyone can do it. Building your list can save you a lot of money and can determine if you will be successful online or not. (of course, this is not the only thing, it is only one by many).
Imagine that you will be able to stay in touch with the rest of the 99 visitors that did not buy the product , but interested in your niche, and market them different products and offer them different offers and increase your conversion rate to the roofs.
Another thing I liked about the affiliate code, when Michael Speaks about How To Drive Free Traffic to your site. He is not only talks about PPC advertising, but also about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – this is the other way to drive traffic to your site, the only different between SEO and PPC is that you do not have to pay for the traffic. (Yes quite a big difference).
SEO is basically making your site to rank as higher as you can in the Search Engine Page Result on Google (or any other search engine) for a given keyword. For example, if you have a site about golf, then SEO is the craft behind how to make Google show your site first when someone types in the word “golf”. (Trust me it is not a simple task).
It gets better when Micheal Jones talks about the “Google Sandbox”. Look I have been around SEO for a while now, (about 3 years now), But still I didn’t know those stuff about Google Sandbox that Micheal is talking about in The Affiliate Code. This issue was new to me. And after I heard what Micheal had to say about the Google Sandbox I realized why many of my SEO efforts went down to waste.
To the ones of you who never heard about Google Sandbox: Google Sand box is a myth. No one really knows if it is exists or not. But some believe when Google suspect that a certain website is artificially built back links to itself by its owner or associates, Google will send the site to the Sandbox, where he will be stuck in the Search Results. So if the site ranked number 23rd for the search term “golf” in Google.
It will stay there no matter how many back links the site will have.
I can go on and on about how PPC and SEO covered in The Affiliate Code product, but
I think that I gave enough for now. (and I’m tired of writing).
