Affiliate Marketing Review
We have come to learn that affiliate marketing is probably the easiest and most profitable business you can run from home without the need for previous internet skills or a heavy investment.
However, as much as this is true, we have also seen and experienced first hand how con artists have invaded this area of online business turning it into one of the main targets for scam and deception. From overhyped promises to useless programs that do not deliver any real education or value, we have found an alarming number of affiliate marketing business opportunities that will deliver anything but money to the user.
After being in the business for quite some time, we can say without regret that affiliate marketing is certainly one of the best options -if not the best- to start a home business, not only because it can be very easy to get it up and running, but because you really need little to no money in order to kick start you business.
And we say it "can be easy" because sometimes it is not. For us it was not, as all of us went through literally thousands of wasted dollars in courses, programs and systems that left us with very little to go forward and did not get us anywhere in terms of profits.
However, down that road of failed investments we stumbled upon a few programs with true educational and business value that turned things around for us, and as we always say, "if only we could have started from there we could really be saying now: that was easy".
Affiliate marketing is certainly a business with a high profit potential for anyone and it can be easy if you avoid our own mistakes and the bad choices most people make trying to get rich quick. Nowadays it is easy, but that is because we have the right business tools and educational resources in our hands.
Within this Affiliate Marketing edition of our Online Business Review, and as a result of a thorough evaluation and use of more than 20 affiliate marketing programs, we will show the ones that delivered the best overall performance and value.

Results of the Evaluation Process
| # 1 Approved System |  |
| Cost vs. Benefit Ratio: As we stated before, Zero Friction Marketing was, from our perspective, the first CPA marketing program to offer a fair combination of price and profit potential, because we found that this system not only provides you with all the know-how other more expensive ones do, but it will also guide you through a set of methods and techniques that are unique to this program, setting you free from high cost traffic sources like Google Adwords. This alone will translate into a 200% or more increase in profits. Therefore, the relation between cost and benefits of this program is really in your favor and you can expect to recover the small investment involved in getting Zero Friction marketing within days of having purchased it. User friendliness: CPA marketing is a rather new concept for those who have only tried affiliate marketing, because the mechanics of the business is a bit different, particularly in the sense that in most cases your prospects do not need to spend anything to make you money. Zero friction marketing is presented in a very methodical fashion, paying a lot of attention to the use of plain easy to grasp English in every step of the program, certainly keeping in mind that many people are taking a shot at CPA marketing for the first time. This is crucial for us when determining the friendliness of a program, because our goal is to show our visitors not only what systems do work, but also which ones can work for absolutely anyone. Zero Friction Marketing certainly fits this profile and that is why we rated its user friendliness with 5 stars. Guarantees and support: Zero Friction Marketing offers a 60 money back guarantee which we know for a fact you can enforce, as we tried asking for a refund and we got our money back withing two days. As for support goes, Zero Friction Marketing does not seem to have in place a real support service for its costumers, because although we received responses to a couple of inquiries we submitted through their contact information, it took a bit long for them to get back to us, although our questions were properly addressed. Given the simplicity and organization of this program we really did not have the need for support, as we only submitted those inquiries to test how responsive they would be. Ease of execution: Although we consider Zero Friction Marketing to be an advanced CPA marketing course, we found that there is very little that could get in the way of your learning process and the execution of everything you must do in order to start getting results. This is because Zero Friction Marketing methodology is designed to beat the learning curve fast, so after you go through all the material included in this course there will be no testing to do, nor you will have the need for a trial and error process, on the contrary, this program will allow you to start performing as you go. This means that there will not be a waiting period of months before you start to see results, and although you will have to work and put your back into it in order to see actual profits, you will realize from the start that each finger you move will have a direct and almost immediate impact on your performance. Therefore, there will be a lot of execution involved, but it will be easy. |

| # 2 Approved System |  |
| Profitability: This program was recently launched amid a lot of hype from many marketers, although the folks at Clickbank Pirate really do not hype up their program at all, on the contrary, they provide one of the most honest and straight forward sales letters we have seen in a long time. After testing and implementing all of the methods and techniques provided by the program, as well as using all of the services, business building tools and resources included in the members area, we were really impressed not only by how fast our first commission came in as a result of everything we did, but also by how rapidly those commissions grew into nearly $2,000 in less than a month with just a few visitors per week. We realized that the secret (if we may call it that) to these results, was the system's emphasis on using and making available to you every possible resource instead of having you believe that you will make millions just by using a PPC Adwords campaign. This program is about doing and accomplishing lot with with a little but well diversified effort, which is definitely a great philosophy. Cost vs. Benefit Ratio: Clickbank Pirate provides you with a complete package of business education, tools and resources in a highly organized fashion to ensure the creation of a complete online business structure, so you will not have to spend time figuring out how to do it or even a dime on additional services. For instance, a crucial part of an online business (which can easily tripple your profits) is having an autoresponder and an email campaign in place, combined with a well planned lead capturing system. The Clickbank Pirate program provides you not only with the autoresponder service at no extra cost, but also with all the email campaigns ready to start generating revenue for you on autopilot. Also, you will find a set of 5 very effective and optimized turnkey systems, as well as plug and play blogs, free hosting, and free access to conferences, webinars and continuous coaching. Becoming a member of the Clickbank Pirate community is certainly a good deal, because there is a lot of real value in all the education, tools and resources you will gain access to, which will not only lead you to the creation of a profitable business, but will also save you money in the future by sparing you autoresponder and hosting costs, among others. User friendliness: Some of the programs and systems we have tried and put to the test in the past have excelled in user friendliness, because we have found them to be easy to digest for anyone, including those who have never done any kind of business online. Clickbank Pirate is really one of the simplest programs we have evaluated, because unlike some the typical online courses you find out there, you will not be provided with a bunch of information that you have to learn and then figure out what to do with it, on the contrary, you will have exclusively results driven know-how you will be putting to use immediately. You will notice that each piece of knowledge within Clickbank Pirate has an actual purpose toward the creation of revenue, so you will never find yourself wondering how, when or what to do next. The program is straightforward and very well organized, so even if you have hardly surfed the web, you will be on your way to building a profitable business the minute you decide to start. Guarantees and support: Ease of execution: As we stated above, Clickbank Pirate's program provides you not only comprehensive results driven education and training, but it also provides you with all the tools, resources and services you need to start building your business. Indeed, once you know what to do (which will happen very fast) you will have at hand exactly what you need in order to do it. Starting an online business through the use of this program is really like baking a cake using an instant mix, only that you will receive not only the box with the powder and instructions,but also the mixer along with your power bill payment included in the price. This is really the best place to start for a newbie, and a great improvement opportunity for more seasoned marketers. However, do not be fooled by its simplicity, this program is about building areal business, so be prepared to work and commit some of your time each day in order to build and grow a profitable business. It will be easy, but not effortless. |

| # 3 Approved System |  |
| Profitability: We granted Maverick Money Makers with this place in our review, not only because of the results attained by our members in terms of profits, but also because of the high consistency that came with such results. Indeed, among all the programs we have tried and used, Maverick Money Makers has been the among the ones to deliver the most profits from the start. These results were achieved because as you will see once you join, Maverick Money Makers has a somewhat different approach than the average internet marketing system. Certainly, you will find that all the information and guidance provided by the program is designed to pursue very specific results within aparticular period of time, and it is exceptionally well organized to allow for short term results as well as long term results. Each tutorial represents a complete "mini business unit" in itself, so asyou go through each and one of them, you will be getting specific results as you advance deeper into the system, enabling you not only to really make money almost right away, but also to steadily and consistently increase your profits. However, this system will work only if you can get yourself approved within CPA networks, otherwise, affiliate jump is your best bet. Cost vs. Benefit Ratio: When we first joined the program we were a little bit concerned about this issue, because the cost of joining Maverick Money Makers is relatively higher than some other good affiliate marketing programs, and we thought that in order for it to be worth it -not only for us but for anyone else thinking about joining the Maverick Money Makers- the program would have to deliver some very remarkable results. Well, after putting touse everything Maverick Money Makers has to offer to the online business entrepreneur, we really have no complaints about the price, as it truly pays for itself. User friendliness: One of the main virtues of Maverick Money Makers has to be its friendliness, because since it was not created by a "guru" but by a guy like us, it has been designed keeping in mind that not all of us know what this business is all about. Its creator does not assume for aminute that you have the slightest idea about internet marketing, so no matter how lost you feel you are in this business, through Maverick Money Makers you will find your way from the very beginning. Again, one of the best features of this program is its results driven organization and potential for both short term and long term profits, so whether you have previous marketing skills or not we can assure you will perform effectively and profitably from the start. Guarantees and support: This program is backed by a 60 day money back guarantee, which we tested by asking for a refund that was completed after two days. On the support side, we also had the opportunity to interact with Maverick Money Makers by submitting several inquiries, just to make sure they were responsive. Each inquiry was answered within two days or sooner. But what is important to point out is that we did not get simple template replies, but detailed responses to our specific inquiries aimed at really solving the issues we submitted for consideration. Given the simplicity of the program we really do not think you will be needing support from Maverick Money Makers, but if you ever do, you can rest assured that you will get it. Ease of execution: Usually one of the downsides of internet marketing programs -even the good ones- is that making some serious money with them is perfectly possible, but it takes some time to achieve significant results. Maverick Money Makers brakes the mold with regards to such standard, as the information and guidance is organized in such a way that it allows you to focus from the start on a very detailed set of tasks designed to deliver very specific results. An example of this is the "quick money blueprint", which not only works as a way of making money fast, but as a source of inspiration to keep growing your business. We cannot assure that you will make $3,000 or $4,000 in your first month, but what we can guarantee from our own experience is that by joining Maverick Money Makers you will attain a far better result than you have ever reached with any other program, because as we stated before, Maverick Money Makers is essentially results driven, so there is not a single action that is not connected to a reaction. Everything you are advised to do will deliver results. Therefore, if you know how to speak English (in order to understand the tutorials) you will have to do you share of work, but this program will be very easy to execute once you join. |

| # 4 Approved System |  |
| Profitability: This system is focused on providing you with very straight to the point yet effective internet marketing strategies, and it really made us think out of the box when it came to devising new ways to stand out from the crowd. Once you start learning and putting to work the Commission Blueprint techniques, you will most likely become a few thousand dollars wealthier within a very short period of time (this varied among the members of our group). Moreover, for the ones of us with some experience as affiliate marketers, this came as an unexpected boost to an already profitable online business operation. Cost vs. benefit ratio: The Commission Blueprint has a great cost vs. benefit ratio, because even though its priced higher than other affiliate marketing courses, it will actually help the beginner as well as the expert marketer increase their profits significantly. We think of this course as a masters degree in affiliate marketing that allows you to profit from very advanced yet simple strategies, and to us it really qualifies as a premium educational product. In fact, the Commission Blueprint is endorsed by many well regarded internet marketers like Ewen Chia. After testing this system, there is no doubt that its serious business and a very good value. User friendliness: This system is definitely easy to understand, if it wasn't we would not even be considering it. However, although we think anyone can put the Commission Blueprint to work like magic very fast, mastering all its techniques will require a bit -not much- of previous familiarity with affiliate marketing. A few of our members tested this system prior to any other internet marketing experience and all of them did very well very quickly, so even though we think it is not the friendlier of the pack, it still stands as very friendly premium educational product. Guarantees and support: This system is also backed by an 60 day money back guarantee, so this investment will be risk free as well. As for support, there is a helpdesk available for the Commission Blueprint's users that we found to be responsive and useful, however, it might take a few days for them address your inquiries due to the great demand this program has had since its launch. Ease of execution: As stated above, the "hard" part of this system is having to learn and master all the strategies and techniques provided in the course (which is not that hard at all, it just demands a little dedication), but the sweet part is that once you are past that, the execution will come fast and easy along with the results you are expecting. You might also need to invest some money in PPC, as this is an important part of some of the strategies you will be implementing. This is a very powerful system, but as we all have learned the hard way, there are no real shortcuts, just smart work and honest dedication in order to achieve success. This program is no exception to that rule, but we can assure you that putting it to use will help you create a huge and lasting source of income. |
