Free Affiliate Masters Course
What does affiliate success boil down to? Let's start... at the beginning!
The number #1 challenge for all affiliates...
Build a website...
that builds targeted traffic...
and that causes visitors to click through...
with a warm, open-to-buy attitude...
to merchant sites that you represent...
so you earn fat commission checks.
How?
There is an endless labyrinth of possible software and information/advice offered on the Net. I'm not sure which is worse... the over-priced products that under-deliver, or all the free info available, most of which does not work so it costs you something more valuable even than money... your time.
Wouldn't it be great if the single best approach, explained in detail, was also free?! Here it is...
The Affiliate Masters Course.
This 10-DAY course focuses 100% on helping you, the affiliate, succeed. It leads you, step by digestible step, day by day, through a flawless process...
from developing a Site Concept
to brainstorming hundreds of profitable related keywords
to building a themed site
to generating motivated, targeted traffic that wants to click on your recommendations, links to the related products sold by merchants you represent.
The most amazing part of this course?
It's free!
Actually, the "price" is only the second most amazing part. The best thing about the Masters Course is the clear, high-quality, step-by-step, day-by-day content that lays out a process that really works.
What's more, it is a process that continues to work after more than a decade, while all sorts of get-rich-quick schemes crash or get burned by Google algorithm changes.
The course is now available in a beautiful ebook format! Newly updated, and a joy to print and read. To download The Affiliate Masters Course ebook...

The Affiliate Masters Course shows you how to become a high-earning affiliate champion. Anyone... from newbie to those already enjoying success. It shows you everything, nothing held back. All the info you need to help you execute every step is included in one single course. Actually...
It's better than almost every other affiliate course or book available anywhere, at any price... but it does raise a question...
Why would SiteSell, the originators of this course, give it all away? Because they're hoping that you'll buy their truly excellent product, SBI. You do not have to, of course.
All the info you need to execute a powerful, successful strategy is contained in the Masters Course. Nothing is held back - I was amazed at the truly USEFUL ideas and the perfect process, laid out in an organized and do-able manner.
And while I do totally endorse SBI as The Perfect Affiliate Business-Builder, you may well find that the course itself is really all you need - SBI simply delivers the tools to make it even easier and faster to get the job done.
To sum it up, The Affiliate Masters Course strategy for success is simple...
1) Create content that attracts targeted traffic.
2) Then convert that traffic into dollars by causing visitors to click through to the sites of the merchants that you represent.
3) Develop multiple streams of income through quality merchants that fit your theme.
Yes, we've finally found the single best solution, the total affiliate solution. You'll graduate as an accomplished affiliate Net marketer, a super-affiliate in the making.
Take The Affiliate Masters Course today. I will not make a more important suggestion this year.

[Caesar, You could go to eBay and buy an existing website and have it online in one day. But if you're new to affiliate marketing you most likely wouldn't own a successful business. I suggest that instead of concentrating on speed you concentrate on learning how to build a successful business. One good way to do that is to use Site Build It! and the comprehensive help that comes with it - http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/buildit . Allan.]

[Thanks for the alert. Sorry! I've now uploaded an updated version of the Affiliate Masters Course which has corrected this problem. Allan.]
I wanted to post my agreement with you about the value of The Affiliate Masters Course. The Affiliate Masters Course is the best free resource on the net. Better than many sources you have to pay for, the PDF document is worth downloading and costs you nothing.

[William, It's not quite word for word, but very close. This is not something I usually do, but in this case it works brilliantly. If something works, I keep doing it. Allan.]
this is my first time joint in the associateprograms.com. it's great that i got much information about affiliate, internet business, etc. Honestly I want to start my opportunity starting with the affiliate Master Course.
thanks all
It pisses me off any time i want to read anything on the internet and its on pdf, zip, in fact it needs to be downloaded before read. The cafe where I browse do not allow downloads. Why can't all this have text html? Anyway can I get a text of your free masters courses?
[Just click on the link as you would click on any other link - and WAIT - and the Affiliate Masters Course should appear on your screen and you can read it in the cafe. Allan.]
This is my first time joint in the associateprograms.com. I am very happy that i got much information about affiliate programs. I really want to start my opportunity starting with the affiliate Master Course. It is really a good programs for everyone.

The Affiliate Masters Course is a wonderful course, full of resources and it is 'right on the money'! I'm an affiliate manager for three online real estate companies, and each item you cover in the course is precisely what we've done to build a successful affiliate program. Great job of putting everything together in one place for those who are starting or expanding their affiliate program! I picked up some ideas that I'll begin to implement right away.

I am new to online affiliate marketing and just starting to learn. I need to make some money online and have lots of computer skills as I have been an ICT Consultant most of my life. Enough of that already! Can someone help me.
My focus is 100% in the real estate niche. Please help me get where I want to go because there are a lot of scams. A lot of marketing efforts do not really add value to life and in most cases are not even profitable. I need to get involved in something that is real for one, adds value to life and is profitable. I need to be guided by people who have been around, who are free and true. I believe TRUST is better than money in the bank and one is able to build something of value. My website is not yet developed. I want it to be something close to associateprograms but more of a trusted guide.
Hi Vitalis, You've made an excellent start by choosing to read the free Affiliate Masters Course. I hope you did download it and read it. Better still, study it and take notes. It's published by a company that has been helping people build profitable websites for more than a decade.
If you choose the SBI way of doing things, you'll get a system that actually works - it's taught in more than 20 universities and colleges around the world.
Here's a page you need to read, especially the section "Why Most Real Estate Websites Fail at Lead Generation"...
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/realestate
When you get there, you can click on the "Questions" link and talk to an SBI user.
For SBI sites and success stories, see...
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/ultimate-proof
or to go and buy the SBI program for affiliates??? Is it a really big deal of difference, except for how to set up a website or in terms of affiliate business itself the free course is just as good??? Greetings from Costa Rica...
[The free Affiliate Masters Course gives you a good, solid introduction to affiliate marketing, teaching you how to choose a niche and emphasizing the importance of building a high-quality site for long-term revenue. SBI goes into much greater detail and provides a suite of tools all in one place. Also, using SBI is bit like joining a club because it gives you access to an incredibly helpful private forum where SBI users help each other and share tips. Allan.]
I really want to get SBI but how can I get it if I don't have credit/master card, nor PAYPAL aacount? Can I pay for SBI through my local Bank, ANZ Bank?
[I recommend SBI because I strongly believe it gives a beginner the best possible chance of success. However, people achieve success in many different ways, some with SBI, some without. In my free Affiliate Program Tutorial I suggest another option for people who want to take a more independent route. Allan.]
[Thanks for your kind words. You've made an excellent choice starting with the Affiliate Masters Course. Allan.]
I have a Mac it's killing me that when I download any zips files and use stuffit expander to convert this to a pdf file I'm having problems. Is there anyway other way I can get these pdf files free.
P.S. Thank You for the information that you are sharing. Most time you find information like this it's a waste of valuable time, and not very useful!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!1

I am totally newbies in affiliate and does not know anything about building a website... and blind about html or whatsoever... my question: 1) do we really need website to run affilliate ?
2) let say i am interested in sports, electronics and music, how i can put that 3 topics in 1 website?
3) I dont have any specific expertise?
appreciate your advice.

[1. It IS possible to earn money from affiliate programs without owning a website, but it's much more difficult. When you build a website, you start building a business, gaining a reputation and getting repeat visitors and repeat sales. Just learn one small step at a time. You'll get there is you really want to. 3. You could put three totally different topics on one site, but it would be a bad idea because it would confuse search engines and confuse your visitors. Stick to one niche at a time. 3. BECOME interested in something. Remember, you didn't know anything when you were born. You learned things. KEEP learning. Here's an article I wrote with lots of ideas on how get ideas for a site:

Really i can say that your web site is the most powerful guide to success on line, all the informations are useful and helpful, and the best are free.
Thank you for your help...
I think I got scammed by a "learn how to make money - become an affiliate" website. Okay, so now I'm searching for some truth about some facts. First, I joined Blogger.com. Now, is it true you cannot make commissions from blogs, although the blog has a URL. I did like how blogger.com has all the code built in, all I had to do was typing the article - but I'm getting a queazy feeling there will be no traffic to drum up sales to the products written about. Yes, my blogs use Adsense and of course meta tags. But so far, when I go to CJ.com it appears no one has even read one of my articles. I'm downhearted. Regrettably I'm not flush, so I'm now trying to correct my steps taken. I have now also downloaded the Master course you offered, but you also said we affiliates MUST have a website. I'm concerned about having that financial outlay too. Can you steer me in the right direction. Thank you - I do like AP.com and especially your insight.
[Yes, I strongly recommend that you get your own website. A blog is one kind of website. It is possible to earn affiliate commissions from blogs, including ones from Blogger.com. However, there are millions upon millions of blogs out there, so simply owning a blog and putting articles on it is not enough to guarantee that anyone will actually read it and click on your links. If you study the free Affiliate Masters Course that will give you lots of useful information. You can also ask for a website review on our affiliate forum. Allan.]
i just have a comment on what you said >> However, there are millions upon millions of blogs out there, so simply owning a blog and putting articles on it is not enough to guarantee that anyone will actually read it and click on your links >>
what's the difference between a blog and website if both of them are having unique domain name, what would prevent anyone then from visiting, reaching, clicking through links?
what do you suggest to use as a content management system for building website and making it easier to post articles and updates without a lot of troubles ? can wordpress achieve this ? or again this could be harmful to my business?
i am a newbie and i reached your website because it's so popular and everyone recommended it for me, i downloaded the course and expecting a lot from it, i hope you can give me a good guide or hints to start with , thanks again :)
[We haven't found a perfect content management system. For AssociatePrograms.com, we ended up hiring a programmer to amalgamate several scripts to form a cohesive whole. WordPress is very good and can be used for a large number of purposes. It does enable you to publish articles easily. However, simply building a website or blog is a bit like building a house in the middle of a desert. If you want people to find you, you have to learn how to attract visitors to your site. A blog is just a type of website. Aim to be the best you possibly can be in one niche and build your reputation in that niche. Aim to build something that adds real value to the Internet. If you do it right, people will give you free publicity, and those links will play a big role in helping to get your site ranked well in search engines. The free Affiliate Masters Course is worth studying carefully. You'll learn many very valuable tips. Allan.]
this is a thing which make me discouraged about building a website or a blog, always in hurry, stressed, thinking that i am too late to publish it, which makes me not concentrating while working or making my pages, as well as always feeling that i am putting the wrong content or putting it in a very slow way.
So, how in your opinion i can take advantage of some event and hurry up to build a website or a blog for it? what's the way? how i can arrange the contents materials that fast before anyone does, and if i did, how can i do it fast? does it mean that i am already having a website template or management system that will build my website that fast, i saw something like what you are talking about, some event comes up, in a few hours i find in my city few websites that came up with that event, i hope you can tell me what's they key behind this?
Are you available for an online discussion at some time?, i am really turning to be a fan of this great website and its resources :) thanks a lot for all this good work, it proves a lot of effort made before it.
[I'm usually available for an online discussion at our affiliate forum. That's a good place to ask questions because the forum has many friendly, helpful members. There's no need to feel discouraged. You definitely DON'T have to build a website fast. That's just ONE suggestion I made among about a couple of dozen in the article you mention. If you do want to build a site fast, WordPress is a good solution. However, with WordPress you don't get the valuable suite of tools you get with Site Build It (SBI). You don't get an instruction manual which teaches you how to build a business, not just a website. You don't get an incredibly helpful private forum, which is part of the Site Build It package. That's why I recommend that people start with SBI, because it teaches them how to build a business, not just a site. SBI puts all the emphasis on building a business that works, not building something fast. Allan.]
[For all normal website uses, you have virtually unlimited web space, which is included in the package. For people who want databases and forums and unusual additions, there's a new SBI option which is in beta testing now and should be available soon. However, I strongly recommend that for your first website you build something simple. WordPress is also a good choice but you won't get the training you get with SBI. Allan.]
thanks a lot.
[I haven't tried Joomla but I know someone who uses it and likes it. There are many ways to build websites. I think the training you get is much more important than the tools you use. Our affiliate forum would be a better place to discuss all these topics at length. Allan.]
[The best place to ask questions is on our affiliate forum. The link is at the top of the page. I recommend you read the whole course before you ask questions. Allan.]

[Affiliates? An affiliate is someone who joins an affiliate program. With any luck, affiliates do the receiving, not the paying. Anyway, there's no easy answer to your question. For example, I can tell you which is MY top-paying affiliate program, but that doesn't mean the program would be your top paying program. It doesn't mean that the program would suit your audience. The most effective way to have a high paying program is to successfully imagine what your visitors are seeking when they arrive at your site - and sell it to them. Allan.]
I thought your Masters Affiliate Course was great. The only thing I didn't understand is why didn't it cover anything about auto-responders?? That's a must in starting any on-line business. Also I know in the near future I will definitely go with Site Sell. It makes so much sense and will definitely save a lot of time, money and most of all headaches.
[It's not our course - it's Ken Evoy's. Good point about autoresponders. I guess that's the problem with writing an introductory course - knowing what to leave out. Allan.]
[There are many thousands of affiliate programs. Some have inhouse affiliate tracking systems, some use affiliate networks such as Commission Junction on LinkShare. If you want to negotiate, there's no single person to contact. In most cases, you'd want to contact the affiliate manager. It's best to negotiate from a position of strength - make good sales and prove your worth, then negotiate for a better deal. Allan.]
I have been reading the Affiliate Masters Course trying to absorb as much as i can, Allan there is so much noise out here for us newbies, everybody offering/selling the perfect solution. I am really impress with associateprograms.com & SBI.
Much Respect Good Sir, Much Respect.
[Thank you! I appreciate your comments. I'll let you know if we ever plan a public stock offering. :) I'm more interested in having a good lifestyle, though. Allan.]

Obviously with so many people having an issue with this pdf something is not right.

Finally, I decided, I need a step by step guide. Ebooks are too easy to find these days, and it takes a lot of time to just put such a detailed article together.
Look forward to get started to come back to read this site again.
I am looking forward to using your techniques with my marketing campaign and hopefully I will have good results.

[There are thousands of different successful layouts. When you're starting, I recommend you build a very simple site, so that you concentrate on the creating useful, interesting, pre-selling articles instead of worrying about fiddly stuff. If you use one of the basic templates provided by SBI - AssociatePrograms.com/buildit - you'll have a good start for your first site. Allan.]
good work
[It's not easy, but it is possible to make money with affiliate programs without spending any money. We've discussed this on our affiliate forum, for example here:
