Affiliate Marketing Courses - Which Affiliate Marketing Course Deliver What it Promise?  
by Mike Curtis
I get this question a lot in the forums that I participate in on a daily basis. It seem most people are confused or not sure which affiliate marketing course to buy. I can see why they are often perplex about choosing one. Further analysis of the questions from my friends and new affiliate marketing hopefull's, have made me come to one conclusion. Too Many Affiliate Marketing Courses!!

Every week there is a new course promising the secret to instant wealth and happiness from their affiliate marketing program. These programs range from pay per click marketing, search engine marketing, CPA marketing, CPM marketing and a host of others.

The most common ones that seem to always pop up are Pay Per Click Marketing (PPCM) and Search Engine Marketing (SEO). A few of these courses are great and easy to follow but a number of them are rehashed information design to look like new.

So today, I will share with you my response to all the questions I get about affiliate marketing course and which one will work for them.

I always ask them to tell me a little about what they know. How long they have been trying affiliate marketing and if they have actually bought and used any products. Most of them will respond with answers like this "I've been at this for 6 months now with little to no results". " I feel like throwing in the towel and just walk away because all the promise that the sales page promise did not happened"!

It is not uncommon to see this. Infact, it is common place to see this level of frustration. The owners of these website often hype up their claims but you can't wrong them. They have a product to sell and they will do almost anything to make you buy. This does not mean that they are lieing.

In most cases, they are telling the truth but to get at the level that they are saying you will reach will not happened over night. It is going to take a lot of hard work and some sleepless nights. Believe me, I have been their!

Here is my answer.

Dear aspiring marketer, I am responding to your questions and I will provide a few suggestion for you today. I hope you will take some of my advice serious. I have used these programs and can tell you that they work. If you are not willing to put some extra time and stick to one program at a time you will not succeed. I have been in your shoes before and I know its not a nice feeling to see all your hard work turned into zero. These programs cost will cost you a few dollars a month.

1. Wealthy Affiliate -

Wealthy Affiliate is a genuiene community that offers realistic training about affiliate marketing. Their repuation for excellence have make them the number one online destination for people like yourself. Alexa.com a company owned by ebay, has ranked them in the top 3000 position.

At this position, they are a site that is heavly visited every single day by people all over the world looking for information about marketing as an affiliate. The highest number of vistors are people from the United States with 44% lead by India with 10.5%, the united kingdom with 6.7%, South Africa with 4.8%, Canada with 4.7% and all the other reamining countries rounding out the remaining precentage.

I know you probaly don't care about all these staticits but I feel they are important. You will get a better understanding of the type of countries that visit this site. Believe me, I felt left out when I joined because their were no students from queens USA in the forums. But, I quickly found a young man and we quickly became buddies.

The Wealthy Affiliate training course is comprised of several lessons, tools, videos, a forum, and 1 and 1 support training from Kyle and Carson. The heart of the program is a 12 week step by step study course that takes each individuals from beginer to advance marketer in twelve weeks. Many people will not reach

this level. As I mention before, it takes work and how well you process information and follow through with them.Each student is given free unlimited domain hosting. They also get to host as many website as they want, free keyword research tool, free article writer, free website builder, 1 on 1 guidance by Kyle & Carson and much more.

You also will have complete and full access to the a very busy forum where each person will exchange ideas, interact with expert marketers, voice your opponion, get help, view daily, weekly, monthly, success stories, see progression of other students, and much more.

You will also get to see the many trials and tribulations of students who have worked hard with nothing to show for it. But this due to people who tend to get distracted by offers flooding their inbox and they sometimes find it hard to resist. They think it's the secret to their success. There is no secret to affiliate marketing!

The Wealthy Affiliate marketing course is not for everyone. I say this to you because it is what it is. What worked for me may not work for you but because I have first hand knowledge and experience of the training program. I honestly believe that their step by step guide is easy to follow but because of the lack of videos most student find it a little difficult to cope with.

If you don't mind reading, then you will be ok. I am well into over 600 words with this response and I hope I am not boreing you to death. The next affiliate marketing program that I feel delivers what it promise is Affiliorama.

2. Affiliorama -

Affiliorama is another affiliate marketing course that offers similar tools and services. I am a member there and have found that it is easier than Wealthy Affiliate because of the small community. The website is owned by Mark Ling from New Zealand.

He currently runs this program for two type of students. The first one being a step by step guide for people who feel comfortable working with website. The second one is focused on students who feel comfortable working with blogs.

Despite all that Affiliorama has to offer, I still see student who struggle with following the training Mark laid out for them to follow. As with all endeavor, it is up to the individual to follow through with each step.

Mark Ling affiliate marketing program is unique. It is the only program that offers a step by step guide from market research, keyword selections, website building, marketing that website, to its first sale all on video. You get to watch Mark do all of this directly on your computer.

The second choice for student is Affilioblueprint Blog Boot Camp. I took note of this program when it first released. It was a little easier than Affilioblueprint as this involve creating a website using a program called xsite pro. Why? This does not involve building a website from scratch. The lesson is centered around the same methods but with a twist.

First of all it's a blog. But, this blog is not just your ordinary blog. This blog will serve as your website and Mark gives you all the tools to get it set up. He shows you what to do from the beginning to the end. From picking the keywords, the product, marketing that site, getting traffic to your site the free way and best of all it is all on video.

You will have a host of other tools to aid with your learning affiliate marketing. I am already at 1290 words and I hope you are still reading this. Each student can host up 9 websites, free of charge, 1 on 1 training with Mark Ling Staff and Mark himself.

You also get a piece of software called Traffic Travis that performs a host of tedious task in seconds. Even with all these tools and support, it is still up to you to take what you learn and apply it. The is no magic bullet to affiliate marketing and is their any affiliate marketing course that can totally have you making money in seconds. It just does not work that way.

As with all the response that I give, I always tell them that if their is ever a time for taking action the time is now. It does not matter if they unsure of taking the Pay Per Click root or Search Engine Marketing path,

affiliate marketing courses will never be 100% unpleasant. There will be days when all you want to do is just give up. But, you can't do that friend. If you quit, you will never know what you could accomplish. So, be one of the many student that I am seen flourish as a result of not giving up. If you are still considering which affiliate marketing course to choose,

visit http://RichSplurger.com/Freeaccess for a starter program of your choice to get started with your affiliate marketing endeavor. These products sells for well over $67.00 or more but if you visit my site now you will get one of them free.

This is really a long respond to your question 1,595 words in total. I don't really write this much in one sitting but because your question on this topic is so crucial and important I felt it was necessary to put all in for you. I hope this response was of some help to you and I look forward to see you either inside Wealthy Affiliate or Affiliorama.
