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

I haven’t promoted anything on this blog in a long, long time.

I never planned to promote Affiliate Black Book, even though I already more or less made up my mind to buy when I heard that it was going to be released today.

And since I’m bothered to come up here to write a review, you’re smart enough to know that I’m going to recommend you to buy it, right?

I know my readers are smart

Before anything else, let me first tell you a story.

When I was just starting out, I bought a bunch of PLR articles from a marketer on the Warrior Forum for $20.

I put up a simple wordpress blog, threw up the PLR articles (without rewriting), on it, and then basically direct-linked to the sales page of a product using the domain of the blog.

(Yes, the PLR articles were meant to be used to promote the particular product I was promoting in the first place.)

I made my first, sweetest couple hundred dollars through that little campaign.

The marketer who sold me the PLR articles was the same guy as the product owner.

That guy is X, author of Affiliate Black Book.

Now you know why I buy his stuff without needing to think too much about it?

So anyway, let’s get back to the topic.

In a nutshell, the business model in the ebook talks about using PPC to promote affiliate products, building a list of your OWN in the process.

While it’s a hefty 151 pages thick, I find that it reads like a novel and some pages have just a few words on it.

It’s easy to read, but the wisdom behind what’s being taught is gold.

I have 3 pages worth of notes so far, and I haven’t even started on the membership site.

Why am I promoting this without even going through the materials completely myself?

I don’t usually do that, but a price increase will be taking place in 72 hours from now, and I really don’t want you to purchase at the higher price point if I can help it.

My Bonus

To make up for my apparent lack of sincerity, I’m going to offer you a bonus if you purchase Affiliate Black Book through my link:

A custom wordpress theme that you can use as a landing page. Wordpress blogs gives you better quality scores when you do PPC.

But you don’t want the cluttered look of a conventional blog either.

So what this theme’s gonna do is offer you the Search Engine/Quality Score benefits of a blog, with the compelling simplicity of a HTML landing page.

And if you’re still worried that you don’t have the technical know-how of using a wordpress theme, whether it’s installing the theme or customizing it, I promise to help you out until get your landing page up on the WWW.

So here’s what you need to do.

Step 1: Order Affiliate Black Book from THIS LINK.
Step 2: Email me your order id.
Step 3: Go through the Affiliate Black Book materials while waiting for me to set things up for you.

Thanks for reading!

The impression I got when I first encountered Brute Force SEO is that its marketing materials are so funny.

I went on to read the entire sales page and even watched the funky video there and had to conclude that Peter Drew is a man of much wit.

Before this turns into a literary review, let’s get on with the meat.

Do not be deceived by the overly-ridiculous marketing of this software; alot of thought has been put into this by Peter Drew.

The basic idea behind the Brute Force SEO software is this:

You enter your website, your keywords, your RSS feeds (if any), your videos (if any), your articles (if any), and your content (compulsory, but doesn’t need to be exclusive) into the dashboard of the software. You then basically click buttons and go off to surf the web, read the news, make coffee or whatever, until you hear a coughing sound from your computer. (I’m now very sure that Peter is a funny guy.)

When you hear that weird sound once in awhile, you need to go back to the software and enter CAPTCHA codes. 

This entire process probably takes about an hour, and at the end of it all, you have a web of Web2.0 all linking to each other strategically, coupled with RSS feeds also aggressively linking to each other in clever ways, and some of these links ultimately go back to your money site.

And you basically accomplish what you normally would have accomplished with 1-2 entire days work in just under 1 hour. (And all you had to do was listen for coughing sounds and filling up CAPTCHA codes!)

A common question I foresee is: “Can’t I do this myself?”
Answer: Yes you can, but it is SUPREMELY boring and takes up to 1-2 entire days’ of work, as mentioned above.

“Can’t I outsource this?”
Answer: Yes you can, but it’s gonna cost you more money, and Brute Force SEO does the job just as well if not better, and for a low cost.

Check out the free report at the end of this post to learn more about the software.

You may also want to read the bullet points on the salesletter to learn more about the software.

I’ve covered most of the good points about it, but points 8 and 9 leave me puzzled.

Re: Point 8 - I didn’t find this feature useful at all. I’d rather use the helpdesk.
Re: Point 9 - Blasphemous! Instant cash my eye! I will NEVER email my email list to tell them about Brute Force SEO hoping to make sales. 

1) I don’t think anybody will buy.
2) My friends will think I’m crazy.

Brute Force SEO is an excellent product for anybody who owns a website.

Notice I said ” anybody who owns a website”.

If you are a complete beginner and don’t own a website yet..

How would you expect Brute Force SEO to work for you? It has nothing to work on!

Remember.. Brute Force SEO is basically an SEO machine that helps your site to rank well, using the power of Web 2.0.

The possibilities are up to your imagination. 

For instance, in the forums, Peter actually teaches how to get clients for SEO as well. He gives out a script that you can use in sourcing for clients, and bascially all you need is to ask your client a few questions, enter your clients’ details into Brute Force SEO, and just click and wait for the coughing sound.

Boom!

You would have got an amazed client who will get better business, and earned yourself maybe 10 times what you paid for Brute Force SEO.

Hint: SEO services are EXPENSIVE!

In conclusion, I think Brute Force SEO is an excellent product, and you should seriously consider getting it. But as with all products, you need to put some effort into making it work! The effort is minimal, but you do still have to work it.

If you’re going to pawn your wife’s jewellery to buy this, please don’t.

On the other hand, if you already have at least one website up, or you’re interested in hooking up offline clients for SEO services, this software could easily recoup your cost of purchase.

At the time of this writing, Brute Force SEO is not available. It launched at a CAP of 1000, and sold out in 2.5 days. When it re-opens, sales will be capped at 400 spots, so make sure you go to the sales page and enter your name and email address to make sure you get a place.
