I bought AffiloBlueprint 1.0 when it was first released a couple months ago.

I really liked it, and since AffiloBlueprint will be released in a couple days, I thought I would do a quick review for it so my readers can take advantage of one of the better infoproducts out there on the market.

Just a little background information about Mark Ling; he’s one of my favorite gurus because he really does walk the talk.

Other than the fact that the things he teach makes sense, I also know for a fact that he’s a hugely successful Clickbank merchant. SitStayFetch, one of the most popular products on Clickbank, is actually owned by him; so are a few other less popular, but certainly successful ones.

In AffiloBlueprint 1.0, the site-building part was mainly taught the XSitePro way.

I don’t use XSitePro and I’m a wordpress fan, so I had Keshia create a custom theme that would look exactly like the case study Mark created.

In AffiloBlueprint 2.0, you’ll actually get a free wordpress theme that would probably be easier to customize, plus you save yourself the hassle of having to get one created yourself like I did, PLUS you get to use this theme on unlimited sites, so I think this by itself is worth the entire cost of entry.

I’m too easily distracted so I’ve only created one AffiloBlueprint site myself, since December of 2008, because I’ve been busy with other projects. It’s a very, very viable business model though, and is one I plan to replicate over and over in the very near future.

Essentially, the process is as follows.

1) Market Research
2) Outsource content
3) Create site, build a list 
4) Build links
5) Drive traffic through article marketing
6) PPC
7) Expand, and so on.

Might look like the content page of a $27 ebook but Mark explains it so well that if you’re able to get your hands dirty implementing it, you WILL see sales fast.

Heck, if you’re still stuck after going through the entire course, just email me and I’ll try to help you sort things out.

So what have my results been like from the one AffiloBlueprint site I built?

From December till today, I’ve made about USD$900 from sales, and have sold the site for USD$1300 so I can use the influx of cash to re-invest in other parts of my business.

Spent about USD$200 on having articles written and sending some PPC traffic, so net profit was about USD$2000.

Considering the fact that..

1) Much of the work was outsourced
2) I will be able to churn out these sites much faster now

I think AffiloBlueprint is a great learning experience, even without the wordpress theme. Heck, with the wordpress theme, I think it’s a no-brainer if you plan to make any income from affiliate marketing.

Even as a relative newbie, a successful AffiloBlueprint site will pay for the entire course in a week once it’s been setup properly.

I’m not trying hard to sell you on this, but if you buy it through my link, there are a couple things I can offer you as a gift:

1) Email support – I’ll give you some advice with building your first site; I don’t know how valuable you deem this to be, but in my opinion, there is something very wrong if you can’t even get an AffiloBlueprint site up with my help.

2) To be honest, I didn’t follow AffiloBlueprint completely; I skipped the tedious article marketing part almost completely, and still made a fair number of sales. (What, you didn’t know I’m lazy?)

I’ll tell you how I built links the lazy way to get my site ranking number 6 on google for my primary keyword.

Disclaimer: The method isn’t free, but I’ll work something out for you if you buy through my link.

So here’s the link:

Yeah I’m not even trying to mask it or anything; you already know it’s my link.

Right, it’s 4 a.m. my time, and I have an exam in 2 days’ time, so I’m off to bed for now; just wanted to give you a heads-up about this great product

Read on Lifehacker yesterday that Windows Live Writer makes blogging easier; and since it takes such a tremendous amount of discipline for me to pick up my lazy cyber pen to blog, I figured any help would be much appreciated.

I think it works.

I’m blogging!

Update: To minutes I posted, I realized I forgot to set the categories.

So I came back to Windows Live Writer, opened, the post, and set the categories, all within 30 seconds.

Easy indeed.

Windows bloggers, check it out; it’s free!

The huge time-saver is supposed to come when you add pictures to your post.

I want to prove to myself how easy it it, but I have no picture relevant to this post, so I shall just stick my avatar up here.

Wee, it IS easy!

If you missed the previous parts of the 10 Day Cash Secret

Case Study, here they are:
10 Day Cash Secret Case Study Part 0
10 Day Cash Secret Case Study Part 1
10 Day Cash Secret Case Study Part 2

So it’s been 17 days since the site has been set up.

In these 17 days, I’ve also heard folks telling me that I shouldn’t reveal the actual URLs of sites as they will be de-indexed very quickly as soon as Google hears of it.

I heard that’s what happened to Brad Fallon’s wildly popular Wedding Favours site, which he showcased during the launch of Stompernet. And that was supposed to be a site that earned more than a million dollars a year.

Anyway, here’s the status of the site so far:

Looks pretty good eh? Especially considering the fact that it took me less than an hour, including learning time!

I could easily set up ten of these in a day, let their rankings grow, then come back in a month to sell them off. And I would probably have made a little bit off affiliate sales and Adsense clicks in the meantime.

Talk about turbo-charged website flipping.
