So I was just wondering on what you guys thought about the Commission Ritual webinar for those of you who got a chance to see it. Or perhaps you researched a little bit on the Commission Ritual. I did my research and I am tempted to buy this but I'm just tired of being fooled by these programs that promise you riches overnight and this program looks exactly like one of them. The only reason I'm considering this program is because it's posted on Affilorama and I trust them. Does anyone have any honest opinions?

Thanks,

In response to you Leo, I decided to tell you why I am taking the chance on the Commission Ritual. I bought the afflioblueprint course and have only managed to get through to week 4 or so (mainly because I've been busy writing articles and other stuff) so I'm not sure if some of the things I'm going to point out to you are going to be covered, but from what I can see thus far, they aren't. As I listened to the webinar, I was intrigued by subjects brought up such as ebay affiliates, amazon affiliates, the commission junction to find products and so forth. It seems to me thus far that Mark's course is more geared to selling informational products through clickbank and such as well as downloadable software where as Brian's course seems to cover a wider range of affiliate marketing which includes shipable products. Another difference in the two courses I noticed is that Brian seemed happy with lower commissions and has some different ideas (or at least includes disclosure of these ideas and strategies) that Mark's course doesn't. When learning that that the course was available to view for 4.95 for five days, it seemed more than fair to at least take a look at the materials before making a decision. The total cost being less than 80 didn't seem too pricey either. I can tell you, just having scanned the group of materials included, I feel that it is worth the money. I specifically liked hearing some of Brian's statements regarding having a variety of money makers on the sites one builds. So, in other words, there seems to be lots of differences between Mark's product afflioblueprint and the commission ritual. I think both are worth having myself, because it's lots of information to help me build in directions that I want to go. Also, I got a good feeling about Brian because he took the time to let his dog out and bring him in out of the rain--that tells me he's caring which also suggests to me that he probably has a good sense of morals in that he wouldn't be creating a product that didn't give a person their monies worth....

Affilorama is a starting point and you do not need to choose clickbank products

Research and join other programs, you can do this free and then use the blueprint to build sites around them by using the niche method

If you keep spending on programs you will not achieve anything

I have to say I agree with the above affil96754. I would recommend that you spend the money you would be spending on that other program and get some outsourcing help on your article writing. The only other program I would say to spend money on is AMA (articlemarketingautomation).

I have gotten distracted so many times, but between AMA and AB I have found my home. There are NO SHORT CUTS. I have the same greedy eyes that are now retrained and I keep them in check because the push to make more money - now - is very hard to resist.

Here's a breakdown of my progress:

Tried tons of programs $10,000 later, met Daniel and Mark, took on AMA, but new I needed to understand affiliate marketing better. Daniel and Mark recommended AB, so I purchased AB. Then about a month into it I got distracted with two different programs that I realised within about anothe rmonth were not good for me so I canceled, got back on track with AB.

Okay so that brings us to May 2009. I think I made my first sale in May, then earned a little over $67.00 or so in June (I forget) and this month between July 1 - 22 I have earned a few cents over $250.00.

I am getting about 30 new visits per day from organic searches. I tried PPC and not one sale from that so I paused the campaigns until I'm ready to take the next step with PPC.

This program is your golden ticket to success. Follow it and you will succeed. I am one of those people who have tried and tried and failed over and over and well.... 10 years of failure to sum it up. It's not that I'm not skilled at a lot of things for this market. It is that I did not know how to put it altogether. AB is what I needed.

I am sure there are a "few" other programs out there that are great. Daniel of PLR PRO told me before starting anything new, go the distance and become successful at ONE thing. I listened and I'm on my way.

If you have extra funds to spend on another program, I recommend outsourcing some of your work. I outsource all my articles now, including spinning. I pay $4.00 per article and $2.00 per spun article at 50% uniqueness. My time is spend reasearching keywords, adding articles to my site and AMA and some tweaking of articles and links.

That's my two cents worth.

Wishing you great success,
Smuigal

i would highly recommend buying Brian Johnson's product it is certainly not crap. It's a great method that he uses to make money online. If you are tired and feel like you are aimless wondering in the dark with your IM and want a method that works i would buy it. I have and have no regrets.

Wise words, Smuigal and Affil96754!

I'm fortunate that I didn't spent any money on anything else beforehand. Looked at lots and lots of things and was tempted to fork out on a number of occasions.

But unless it's something free on SEO, I totally ignore it and put all my effort into AB2. Totally!

My comparison on diverting is this:

You're half way through learning to drive a car. You reach a very difficult technique and you get frustrated and depressed.

So you decide to learn to drive a motorbike. It's also got an engine, gearbox, wheels and is a form of transportation.

Although it's similar, it takes a whole new set of skills to learn, practise and master. Chances are you'll get to a difficult technique as well.

So you end up half knowing how to drive a car and half knowing how to ride a motorbike.

But, guess what? Your still waiting at the bus stop in the rain!

Only my perception, but hope it helps.

Regards

I have to admit there are some very philosophical ABers out there but its important to think it through, for many this is their livelihood and main source of income. While its tempting to grab what appears to be 'low hanging fruit' its quite possibly not the fruit you want or need right now, or may possibly be completely rotten.

I'm probably just echoing what everyone else is saying but stick to the plan and get the basics mastered, then youll be in a better position to judge if you need another program like commission ritual.

 

[smuigal]

I just wanted to add that Commission Ritual is excellent and Marks Bonuses are great. However, here's something that I really like about Marks program. He has you follow along and work with him step by step. He gives you homework. You do that, "then" you move forward.

One of the most difficult things about what we all have to deal with in this field, is all about "self" motivation and discipline. Organization is also a key factor. So... with Mark you have everything layed out step by step. This is like the foundation for building great things.

I personally know how to build websites, I am very good with XSitepro, Wordpress and I can work somewhat with little scripts and things that are sometimes required. So, I'm not overwhelmed by learning "everything" from the start.

I say this because if you take in too much without following through, you won't get anywhere, no matter how good any one program on making money online is.

Many people are ready to take on something to "enhance" what Mark has taught so Commission Ritual won't be a distraction.

I purchased GCD and PPCC and I will say that both of these programs are excellent, but I was soooo not ready for them. Not even close. I am happy that I realized that early and now, this month I've earned a little over $300.00. The month is not over. :) I owe it to Mark Ling's AB.

Now it's time to Rince and Repeat!!

I really wanted to add this because I didn't want anyone to think that Commission Ritual wasn't a good program. I just know what it's like to become so overwhelmed and distracted that I was missing out on the profits I am now seeing.

Erm... ok, I hope that all makes sense.

Best Wishes to all!

I bought commission ritual I am a real newbie,it seemed good value for the money,but I got stuck at a crucial
point before I was ready to launch my first site,needless to say I was forced to buy the upgrade,as there is
absolutely no support for the original course.

Its been 2 weeks since I bought the upgrade AND I am well unhappy with the support they give,still not got my
site up yet,and despite numerous emails to them,they haven`t passed me to join the forum yet.
They all say they will do this and that, till they get your money.$57 more bucks a month and not a dickie bird

Still think the course is really good and Ive learned a lot,once I master wordpress which they teach I will be well
on my way.I think they may have bitten of more than they can chew,seems to me there is only the vendor,and
one assisstant,still I would rate it about 8 out of 10,and judging by the forum (which I get to read not post)there
seems to be a lot of happy bunnies on there.Think I will def recoup my loses once I pick up on the missing peace.

Hope this helps

Mike.
