Re: I didnt got special link as I am a Affilojetpack subscriber!
Hey, the problem was that I was using Aweber and their servers were so full that they took a while for the email to get out to everyone. Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Re: Affilojetpack *WOW*
@JCDean
1) You have PLR to them so you can reword, rebrand and use them as you wish. The only restriction is that you cannot sell the plr or resale rights to them. They are much higher quality than any form of PLR that I've seen in the past as I hired top writers and top proof editors to make sure the quality is sound.
2) Yes you can personalize them and upload them to your existing autoresponder. In fact, that is my recommendation.
@Devon
Yes the email subject lines are already written, although you can modify them if you wish to.
All the best!

Re: Is AB 2.0 still practical these days & my honest confession?
Hey Wenching, where in Malaysia are you from?
I'm going to be in Sibu at the end of the year for about 5 nights for my Aunty's 70th (My father is from Sibu).
Anyway, by the looks of your super long question at the start of this post, and the other posts you've made in this topic, it seems like you have a lot of doubts going on in your mind as to whether or not you can do this, and whether or not affiliate marketing is getting too competitive, and you also seem to see 'gurus' as different from yourself, like they have staff, etc, so you seem to feel like that makes them different from you.
Starting with that 3rd point about the 'gurus'. Firstly, not all gurus are the same. Some are only making money selling 'how to make money' products, but on the other hand, there are many genuine people out there, like myself, who were successful online first in a variety of niches, before they started teaching others.
All the gurus started out as just one person and built up their businesses. I find it a little frustrating that the moment someone builds up their business online, becomes super successful, then starts teaching others how they became successful that all of a sudden there are a lot of newbies out there that rather than be inspired by their success, they just look at them and make excuses as to why 'it's different for mr guru a because he did this, or it's different for guru b because he had z in his/her favor, etc'
Take Matt Carter for instance, 2 years ago he'd never made a cent online, then he joined affilorama, now he makes thousands every week in affiliate sales. Under a year ago he started blogging about what he does to achieve his success, and started selling his own article spinning product, along with his link building secrets. Now that's turning into a guru as well as being successful in the various affiliate niches, he has become the kind of person that newbies don't see as a success story, all because of the fact that he is now a 'guru'. Wake up - you need to be inspired by successful people, not resentful and certainly shouldn't be making excuses as to why they can do certain things but you can't.
This kind of mentality actually reminds me of some women (and men for that matter) that I know who can't find a boyfriend and they think that 'oh it's easy for Katrina because she is skinny, or it's easy for Paula because she got lucky and met her husband while she was young, etc". You need to learn from people who are where you want to be, not find excuses and put them down. Heck I listen to cds from different online millionaires and different audio books etc all the time to keep my mindset in alignment with people whom I want to learn from. That's what an online millionaire does, you should be doing more of that.
Also, not getting started because you didn't like someone's accent isn't a great reason for not getting underway. I do understand what you are saying, but there are pdf versions of every single lesson, so you could have followed the written versions of the lessons if you didn't like aletta's accent. You need to build up a resilient mentality that NOTHING will get in your way and nothing can knock you down, rather than being like a stack of cards that the slightest breeze makes you collapse.
Moving on to your doubts about whether or not you can actually make money in affiliate marketing, and whether or not it is too competitive, I think the biggest problem for you is that you've let your doubts stop you from taking consistent daily action towards your goals. You can't be sure about everything in your life, but one thing you can be sure of is that if you sit and watch and wait till you are 100% comfortable and certain of everything before you even get started, you'll miss out on a lot of opportunities in your life.
Making money online is not about scamming people, it is about giving people what they are looking for and/or helping people find solutions to their problems. Billions of dollars are being spent online, and there are thousands of online millionaires, possibly tens of thousands. And there are a LOT more people (millions) making a full or part time living online. You could certainly be one of them.
To begin with though, you really need to take a leap of faith and get started. If things don't go according to plan, you need to learn from what you have done, what has worked? What hasn't? And you then adapt your online business going forward.
You need to be prepared to fail, and learn from your mistakes, rather than let self doubt, and other negative opinions of others, paralyze you from taking any action in the first place.
To me making money online is like any other skill, like learning the guitar or learning a language. It can be learned and anyone taking persistent daily action can acquire this skill and there is no reason why you can't too, but you can't get there if you don't implement what you learn and if you aren't prepared to make a few mistakes along the way.

Re: Just Joined and Could REALLY Use Some Guidance! :)
Hi Lance,
If you are looking for step-by-step by-the-hand training, then check out AffiloBlueprint: www.affilorama.com/affiloblueprint
Affilorama Premium contains great software tools to make things easier and give you a competitive advantage over other afffiliates, it also contains hosting, a monthly magazine focusing in detail on a different topic each month (so that you can get an all-round knowledge of internet marketing and keep yourself up to date - this is a business after all, you'll want to keep growing your skillset, e.g. email marketing, pay per click, buying and selling websites, blogging, etc), it also contains monthly private label rights articles and some other bonuses (make sure you watch those videos in the bonuses, they are good training).
If I were you I'd start with watching the welcome video, then go through the blogging bootcamp. Get a 20 page website online as soon as you can, that way you have something to play with. Even if you make mistakes, that's fine, fail fast and learn from your mistakes fast. Don't be tentative and think you need to know everything to get started as learning by doing is the best way in this industry.
If you aren't sure which niche to choose, try one of the following (there are many more but these all have good money in them):
how to save your relationship / win your ex back
xbox 360 repair
how to attract women
how to make money online (you don't have to be a 'guru' you can be the affiliate of other products in this industry)
There are many other niches, but one of those is as good as any. The good thing about big niches is that there is more money in the 'pie', so you don't have to do as well to make at least some money in it.
All the best and the main thing is that you take action every day in some way to bring you closer to your goal. Start by setting yourself a 30 day plan to make sure you stick at this for at least 30 minutes a day (longer is fine, but I say 30 mins as a minimum as that is sustainable every day).

Hey ShimmerArc, welcome on board! Saturday, June 19th, 2010
Re: Consumer wealth system is it true?
Regarding the bootcamp, I did have the catch up webinar, I had a couple of them. The recording failed on the 2nd one.
Although to say that is the main selling point of premium is surprising to me, it was a bonus, not the main part of the product.
We've invested thousands and thousands into the premium members software, hosting, plr articles, and I am currently working extremely hard on upgrading all the issues of the magazine part also, I'm not going to do a big launch of the new edition when it comes, but it will be even better than ever before. Premium is a constant work in progress that me and a number of my staff are always working hard on to bring the best information, affiliate software tools, plr content and behind the scenes videos.
I will record another catch up bootcamp webinar though, I do apologize for the recording failing, that was totally my fault. You can see that there are a lot of high seo rankings for that website from the bootcamp though when you do some google searches, and I can show the income on a catchup webinar. I'll mail premium members about the date of that next week.

Re: Consumer wealth system is it true?
I thought the websites were cool examples, but I added an 's' to one of the urls by accident, and also they were in the middle of switching wordpress themes at the time and it stuffed up their links.
So I received a lot of complaints from people, both on the affilorama forum here and in our support system. As people believed that the income claims were false.
I find it a real shame that that happened because there are a lot of untrustworthy people online, and Marc and Daniel are not among them. I get shown products by different internet marketers almost every day. I turn down almost every product that I'm asked to promote.
I thought they'd put together a really good product with no fluff or 'filler' to pad it out. They charged a really low price for it so lots of people can get into this, I even passed their product on to one of my relatives who wanted to give this a go (as 3 hours to build a website is about all her attention span would allow so I thought it was a good match).
Now this has been blown out of all proportion. Most people will only read the first page of this thread and think that it is a scam or something, when really it was a simple muck up by Marc and Daniel's staff when they were switching their wordpress theme over (plus my mistake in the spelling). Other than that it's a great wee system they've got going there. I know others doing a similar thing with good success too.

@kaelicheyenne Autoresponders like www.mailpush.com, cost $1 for the first month and $19 per month thereafter. This includes as many autoresponders as you want to set up, ie 19/month for 5 niches. Commented on Monday, July 26th, 2010

The 5 Step Method for Making $10,000 Per Month Online
@Terrence Hey that's really impressive (regarding your boxing career), is this you here?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGNFQqAR5-o
Yes it can be challenging getting things underway online, especially with a lot of junk information out there and people who only half know what they are talking about. But to me it's like learning to speak a foreign language. Anyone can do it, but it is challenging achieving mastery.
The only difference is that when you master making money online, you get super rich - it's the ultimate hobby really and it's not a matter of if you'll get there, it's a matter of when if you never give up.

Your Questions Answered
Hey guys, I'm still finalizing the price and will announce that on launch day.
@Alan - It'll be a one time all inclusive fee (no recurring)
@jhlbrk - Glad to hear you've been finding the AffiloBlueprint members forum valuable. The AffiloJetpack members forum will be frequented daily by my staff and I and I'm sure it'll be hugely valuable also.
@jennifer512 - Usually you don't get very many people at all trying to contact you until you are making good money. Once you are making money, you can afford to hire someone from odesk or somewhere else to do your support part time so you don't have to worry about it. Having too many questions being emailed in is a good problem to have... it means you are getting lots of readers, and that you're probably making really good money. You'll also find that a lot of questions that people ask, while tricky at first, you can build up a good supply of canned responses. So the first time someone asks you how to stop their dog from digging up their lawn, you might scratch your head and have to delve into a book or two, then the next time you've got a canned answer. Honestly though, you don't get many people asking tricky questions till you are making really good money.
@bruce Actually, domains are only about $10 each, so setting up one for each jetpack is only $50. If you can't afford the 5 domain names, then you probably won't be able to afford the approximately $20/month that you'll need for an autoresponder to make this system work. I know these may be high amounts of money for some people, but it's well worth the investment, and it's not too long until it more than pays for itself.

The 5 Step Method for Making $10,000 Per Month Online
@Cynthia No you don't have to use our hosting at all. Some people will want to use it as we provide it free for 1 year, but others like you will prefer to use your own hosting and that is perfectly fine too. We set it up so it's easy to use either way. :) Commented on Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
How to Make Piles of Cash Online By Giving Away Free Content
@Jennifer - Those are good questions. You will receive all the training at once, however I will be running live webinars also (these are optional) so that you can ask live questions on these webinars. I will also release further video training if required based on feedback from members. Yes there will be a members forum and my staff and I will be there to help. Commented on Friday, July 16th, 2010
The 5 Step Method for Making $10,000 Per Month Online
@lucy I haven't seen anyone else do a product like this and I'm sure if you join AffiloJetpack, and another product that claims to be similar you'll see that there is no comparison. I've seen 'plr' sites etc, but that is not what this is. This is much much better than that, not just in terms of the quality, the done for you selling, but the push button simple software to get your sites online, the marketing training and so forth, I'm certain you'll find are 2nd to none. I'm even going to offer people a your money back + $100 guarantee, if you join during launch and you show me that you have followed the method to the T and it doesn't make you money, then I'll give you your money back + $100. If you can't show us that you've used our product etc, then we'll of course refund anyone who asks for a refund, just that you have to show us you've tried to make this work to get the extra $100.
