Reviews

Affiliate Elite Review, ok, now that I′ve figured how to open this post with my primary keyword, lets get started. I just got myself a shiny new copy of Brad Callen′s Affiliate Elite software. If the twenty three page long sales letter (a brilliant and finely crafted example, designed to mesmerize you into a semi hypnotic state and gently walk you, and your credit card, through the purchase and sign up process) has anything to go by I′m now in possession of a "god like power", about to effortlessly replace my career, and blow my competition out of the water. Awesome!

I′m somewhat cynical about hype and sales letters but I recognize their role in the sales process, the purpose of this Affiliate Elite review is to explore the reality of Affiliate Elite versus the promise and hype.

I′ve been keen to grow my search marketing (what Chris Carpenter′s eBook Google Cash was all about) revenue alongside my website generated income, primarily because search marketing, as opposed to building and promoting a website, offers the most immediate high income opportunity available today, but, it also comes with the risk of doing your dough faster than a Lindsay Lohan trip back to rehab, so I have been looking for an edge, looking for a competitive analysis tool that will take the drudgery out of product analysis, let me know what competition I′m up against, what, and how they′re doing it, and to compete successfully with them. Affiliate Elite promises to be that tool.

In order to do an Affiliate Elite review I, obviously, had to buy the product. My last experience with a hyped up "rock the affiliate world", competition killing, piece of software was a debacle of mammoth proportions, so I′m pleased to say that the Affiliate Elite sales and installation process was flawless, simple, and it worked right away. I′ve used two of Brad Callen′s products, SEO Elite and Keyword Elite, happily, and successfully, over the past two years and I have to say, as far as software, support, and training are concerned, these Guy′s have their act together.

Once you have downloaded the application you gain access to a series of fifteen training videos that, not only show you how to use the system but, provide strong insight into the competitive power you now have at your fingertips. What′s immediately apparent is that a lot of effort has gone into ensuring your success with the software by educating you in the practice and discipline you need to follow to bring in those commission cheques. The best thing is you can continue to revisit these videos while you develop your winning strategy.

Continuing on with the Affiliate Elite review, the software has four "projects".

Project #1: Find Profitable Affiliate Products to Promote

The concept of Affiliate Marketing is a simple one but, the challenge is finding products to promote that you know are going to convert into commission. You really only have control over the referral stage so you want to be sure you are sending your referrals to products that are going to sell, especially if you′re paying to get them there. Affiliate Elite gives you access to the entire Clickbank and PayDotCom databases, more than twenty five thousand, high commission, products, along with the performance statistics you need to determine which of those products are selling now, which ones are worth promoting, and the one′s most likely to earn you commissions right away. Awesome!

The question could be why just Clickbank and PayDotCom? Personally I think that’s a moot point, I have affiliations with several other marketing companies because their products and services suit the themes of my websites, however, my very last sale on Clickbank was worth $US121.00 in commission to me. That′s a very healthy commission, and it came from one sneaky little link in an unrelated article! So, In my mind it′s better to focus in one area rather than add the complexity of multiple companies into the mix.

Project #2: Reverse Google Search

On the Internet the keyword rules, if you haven′t got keyword research and application sussed then you′re in the same position as an unfit climber trying to climb Mt. Everest with bare feet wearing only a pair of board shorts. You′re going to fail.

This project is the Holy Grail of keyword research. I would have paid for this feature alone. Ever since I started working with keywords I thought the whole process would have been a whole lot better if we could just find the keywords our successful competitors were using, if, in other words, the whole process was reversed. Now we can …enough said!

Project #3: Analyze Adwords Competition

Now that you have your list of keywords you can pull out the best ones, run this project, and find all the advertisers, their ads and their landing pages. This is the competitive intelligence that will give you the edge. Not only in terms of being able to quickly mimic the most successful campaigns, but, deconstructing the strategies of the most successful marketers so you have what it takes to be one yourself.

Project #4: Find Super Affiliates

With this project you can use the Merchant ID′s of the top websites for the niche you found in Project #1 to find out who their affiliates are, all of them, including their contact information. Why would you do this you ask? The purpose of this project is so that you identify and contact people who have demonstrated superior marketing skills, Super Affiliates, with the potential of entering into joint ventures or, at the very least, see how they became Super Affiliates in the first place.

So, the question is does this product deliver the goods? Here′s the thing, for the purpose of this Affiliate Elite review the product gets a major thumbs up from me, the information it provides is simply astounding, Affiliate Elite should be a part of your marketing arsenal, but consider this;

If…

X = Affiliate Elite

Y = Your innate intelligence, aptitude, understanding of marketing concepts, tenacity, determination, fortitude, etc.

Z = Time and effort.

Then…

The formula for success with Affiliate Elite will be X x (Y + Z) = Degree of Success

Brad Callen′s Affiliate Elite gives you factor X, an incredibly powerful piece of competitive analysis software that gives you the edge, Y and Z are up to you. Undoubtedly, a significant proportion of the people who have already purchased the product will be expecting it to be some kind of "magic wand" that will do everything for them, the rest will be collecting their commission cheques.

How much does it cost? Look, for what it is it′s very cheap, a one off payment and a small monthly fee, but, this is really insignificant because Affiliate Elite is itself a Clickbank product. The commission you get as an Affiliate is on both the sale, and the monthly fee, and, the way it′s structured means you only have to sell two copies to cancel out your original cost. I’ve already done it.

I hope you′ve found this Affiliate Elite review helpful, I strongly recommend this product, now excuse me, I′ve got money to make.
