Hey everyone, welcome back.
Today we're diving deep, really deep,
into the world of affiliate marketing.
Really focusing on one specific program, actually.
You got it.
John Cristani's Super Affiliate System 3.0 course.
And this is cool because we're looking at it
from the perspective of someone who actually took the course.
Yeah, not just any review, right?
Exactly.
A long time student, a real student,
who also happens to be a digital marketer themselves,
working with the same kind of traffic strategies
that John teaches.
So they know their stuff.
Which means by the end of this,
you'll know if this course is right for you.
Definitely.
All right, so first things first.
What exactly is the Super Affiliate System?
Essentially, it's all about affiliate marketing,
which in simple terms means promoting
other companies' products.
You get paid for it.
You got it.
A commission for every sale made through
your unique affiliate link.
You're like a salesperson,
but without the inventory headaches.
And John Cristani himself is kind of big deal
in the affiliate marketing world.
Huge.
Built his success from scratch,
makes serious income.
His original course, get this,
sold for $5,000.
Wow, that's, yeah, that says something.
Makes the current price seem pretty reasonable.
It does.
And with this updated system, 3.0,
John aims to take you from, well, knowing nothing,
to a full-fledged affiliate marketer.
Even if you have zero experience.
That's the promise.
He teaches you how to set up everything online,
pick the right products,
and most importantly, drive traffic to your offers.
Using stuff like Google ads, Facebook ads, even YouTube.
And that's where our reviewers perspective is so valuable.
Absolutely, they've gone through every single module,
giving us the real inside scoop, you know.
Be on the hype.
So let's break this course down week by week.
Come good.
Week one, system setup.
This is where you learn to set up
accounts on the platforms you'll need.
Click Bank Bluehost.
Click Banks at Marketplace,
where you find tons of affiliate products to promote.
And Bluehost is for setting up your website,
the domain name.
It's Foundation.
Now John makes things easier with pre-built funnels.
These are ready-made websites
that turn visitors into buyers.
You can even use his manual setup
if you want to start completely free.
I like that he gives you options.
Me too.
Oh, and the reviewer actually goes a step further.
They offer a tutorial on an even cheaper way
to build those landing pages.
Nice bonus.
Okay, week two, Google ads,
which our reviewer says is their favorite traffic source.
But they did point out that the course could be
a bit more in-depth on some key Google ads fundamentals.
Like keyword match types.
Yeah, those are super important
for controlling your ad spend.
You can choose to show your ads for exact phrases
or broader matches, you know.
So you're targeting the right people.
Makes a big difference.
You also have bidding strategies,
which is how much you're willing to pay per click.
And negative keywords, can't forget those.
Right, those help you avoid showing up for searches
that are irrelevant, which saves you money.
The reviewer actually made some extra videos
covering those details, which is awesome.
Great.
Week three then moves on to YouTube ads.
Another great option, especially for beginners.
Super visual, huge audience.
Week four gets even more interesting advanced tactics.
Diving deeper into Facebook ads,
staying compliant with those ads.
Oh, and copywriting.
So important for affiliate marketing.
It's the art of writing persuasive ad copy
and that content that goes on your landing pages.
It's what convinces people to actually buy.
Week five is all about pre-sell pages
and scaling up your campaigns to reach a wider audience.
This is where you really start to see
how the pros drive those big results.
Split testing, optimization tactics, you know.
Like using those click funnels tracking IDs
to see which pages actually lead to sales.
It's powerful stuff.
And here the reviewer has another cool tip,
an alternative AB testing tool that's a one time purchase.
So not a monthly subscription like click funnels.
It gives you more control over your budget.
Love that.
Finally, week six.
This is where you expand beyond the bizop niche.
Which, just to clarify,
is basically the make money online niche.
It's where a lot of affiliate marketers start.
John introduces other markets, wealth, happiness, health.
Helps you figure out the right niche for you.
That's huge.
It's not just the training videos though.
Oh, there's way more.
You get done for you funnels, ad templates,
even targeting data, pre-tested stuff to save you time.
Lists of affiliate networks, legal resources,
even access to older versions of the course.
The support's supposed to be outstanding too,
a knowledge center, an active community forum.
All sounds pretty good so far.
But of course there are pros and cons to everything.
Definitely.
What stood out to you on the positive side?
Well, John's teaching style is really beginner friendly.
That's a big plus.
Agreed.
And I love the done for you resources save so much time.
Plus the traffic skills you learn,
those are valuable for any online business.
Not just affiliate marketing specifically.
Right.
So what about the downsides?
Anything that raised a red flag?
Well, the initial focus on one niche
might feel limiting to some.
And I know the reviewer mentioned that some modules could
be more in depth, especially for those with a some marketing
experience.
Yeah, like those Google Ads fundamentals we talked about.
Could be more comprehensive there.
Oh, and the content on native ads
is only in the older course version, not the main modules.
Though the reviewer does offer those bonus videos
to fill some of those gaps.
Which is great.
Now, the big question, are people actually making money
with this system?
The review does highlight some success stories.
Real students making it work.
That's encouraging.
Of course, results will vary.
Depends on how much effort you put in.
Right.
No guarantees.
So what's the cost?
$997.
Or they have a monthly payment option.
And it comes with that click bank money back guarantee.
So you're not risking a ton if you want to give it a shot.
So bottom line, what's the verdict?
The reviewer recommends it, especially for beginners.
They like John's experience, his track record.
But they emphasize that no single course
can teach you everything about affiliate marketing.
So true.
It's a constantly changing world you got to keep learning.
This course is a starting point, a foundation.
You got to keep building on it.
So now it's up to you.
Does the super affiliate system sound right for you?
Before jumping in, it's worth taking a step back
and thinking, if paid traffic is even the best approach for you.
What are your strengths?
Your limitations.
Your budget.
Paid traffic can be incredibly powerful.
But it does take an investment.
Especially when you're just starting out.
The reviewer actually talks about an alternative
in one of their other articles, building niche websites.
So instead of paying for traffic,
you're attracting it organically through Google.
Takes more time and effort upfront,
but can be more sustainable long term.
It's all about finding what works for you.
If you love diving deep into a specific topic,
creating content, building an audience over time,
niche websites might be the way to go.
And you can learn those skills too.
There are tons of resources out there.
The reviewer even has a course on it,
which we'll link in the show notes.
So before you jump into any course,
whether it's the super affiliate system or something else,
take some time to reflect.
Think about your goals, what you're good at,
and what kind of business model really excites you.
The best entrepreneurs find that sweet spot
where passion meets skills.
So true.
You know, there's one detail from this review
that stuck with me.
Remember how we mentioned the reviewer
also works with paid traffic?
Yeah, definitely adds credibility to their insights.
Well, someone in the FAQ section asked for advice
explaining they were unemployed
and were hoping for a quick way to make money on the side.
The classic get rich quick dream.
Right, and I love how the reviewer responded.
They said, I wouldn't recommend this course
if you don't have a healthy ad spend budget.
There's no such thing as quick money for a side income,
especially in paid advertising,
where you need a minimum of $1,000.
A much needed dose of reality.
Absolutely.
Paid traffic requires investment,
and there are no shortcuts to wealth.
You need to experiment, learn,
and be prepared for some bumps along the way.
The reviewer mentioned a super affiliate named the Mellon,
who teaches more advanced strategies.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, and he stresses that you need
to be comfortable making mistakes.
See those stumbles as lessons?
That's such a valuable mindset.
Failure is part of the process.
The key is to learn from it.
Speaking of learning, another question that came up
was about tracking software.
Do you need special tools to track those affiliate links
and see what's working?
Good question.
The good news is, with the platforms John teaches,
separate tracking software isn't strictly necessary.
Oh, that's good.
The ad networks have their own tools
for monitoring campaigns and conversions.
So you can get started without extra costs.
But the reviewer did say tracking software can be helpful,
especially if you're doing native advertising,
which is covered in that older course version.
Ah, right.
That makes sense.
That reminds me, John actually had a whole other course,
Internet Jet Set, focus on free traffic methods.
Oh yeah, SEO, YouTube, all that.
Unfortunately, it's been unavailable for over a year.
Oh, that's a shame.
But the good news is, you can still access the videos
in the archive section of the super affiliate system.
So you get a taste of both paid and free approaches
to affiliate marketing.
Exactly.
So we've covered a lot, the content, pros and cons,
student experiences, even alternatives,
like mutual websites.
It's about figuring out what clicks for you,
paid traffic, John's system, or something different,
like free traffic in niche sites.
Whatever path you choose, remember, action is key.
Embrace the journey, be open to learning,
and enjoy the ride.
You know, it's funny, when we talk about finding
what works for you, something else
from the review comes to mind.
It was in the FAQs, actually.
Oh, yeah, what was it?
Someone was asking for advice,
mentioning they were unemployed and hoping to use
the super affiliate system as like a quick money side hustle.
I see that whole get rich quick hope.
Exactly.
And the reviewer was pretty straight up.
They basically said, and I'm paraphrasing here,
don't expect this to be an easy path to fast money,
especially if you're on a tight budget.
Paid advertising, which is what John teaches,
takes real investment.
You need at least $1,000 to give it a fair shot.
It's a good reality check for sure.
No magic button, unfortunately.
Nope.
It actually reminded me of something else
the reviewer brought up.
A super affiliate named Malin,
who teaches more advanced strategies,
he apparently stresses that mistakes are gonna happen,
especially in the beginning.
Everyone starts somewhere.
Totally.
He says the key is to think of those
as learning experiences, not failures.
That's such a healthy way to look at it.
It's not about avoiding messing up,
it's about adapting and getting better.
So true.
Makes you realize no course can promise
overnight success.
No matter how good it is.
Takes effort, sticking with it,
and that willingness to learn as you go.
Couldn't agree more.
Oh, and speaking of learning,
there was another question in those FAQs
about tracking software.
I think I remembered that one.
Yeah, the reader wanted to know
if you need special tools to track your affiliate links
and see what's actually converting.
That makes sense.
It can get confusing with all the different tools out there.
For sure.
The reviewer said that with the platforms John teaches,
you don't strictly need separate tracking software.
Oh, interesting.
The ad networks actually have decent built-in tools
to keep an eye on your campaigns and your conversions.
So you can at least get started without spending extra.
Exactly.
But they did add that dedicated tracking software
can be helpful, especially for native advertising,
which is covered in that older course version,
you know, the bonus material.
Makes sense.
Native advertising is a whole different world.
Totally agree.
Speaking of those bonus materials,
remember how you get access to older versions of the course?
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Well, there's some interesting stuff in there.
John actually used to have a separate course
called Internet Jet Set, or I Am Jet Set.
Some people called it.
Oh yeah, wasn't that all about free traffic?
You got it.
Things like SEO, building a YouTube following, all that.
Didn't it shut down though?
Yeah, I did over a year ago.
Yeah.
But, get this, the video training is still available.
No way, where?
In the archive section of the super affiliate system.
So even though the course itself is gone,
you can still access those free traffic strategies.
Yeah, so we've gone through a lot here.
The super affiliate systems content,
the good and the bad, what actual students are saying,
even alternatives, like building those niche websites.
Lots to think about.
It really comes down to, you know,
what feels right for you?
Are you leaning towards paid traffic with John's system?
Or, does something else call to you?
Maybe free traffic, niche websites, something like that.
No right or wrong answer.
Exactly.
And whatever you decide, remember,
it's about taking action.
Keep that growth mindset, be open to learning new things,
and you know, just enjoy the process.
Taking action is easier said than done sometimes though,
right?
It's easy to overthink things.
Oh, absolutely.
You can get stuck in that research phase forever,
but sometimes you just gotta dive in.
And learn as you go.
Exactly.
Experience is the best teacher, you know.
As you go, you'll figure out what works for you,
develop your own style.
So for those who are thinking,
hey, this super affiliate system sounds interesting,
what's the biggest takeaway from our deep dive?
I'd say John Crestani's system is a good starting point,
a solid foundation, especially if you're into paid traffic.
He lays it all out, gives you those resources,
and you've got that community there too.
But, and this is important, it's not a magic solution.
Not gonna get rich overnight.
Nope, you gotta put in the work,
invest time, invest money, and never stop learning.
And even if this specific course isn't your thing,
there are other ways to make affiliate marketing work
for you.
Building niche websites, using free traffic,
exploring different niches, so many options.
It's all about finding what clicks for you,
what fits your goals.
And who knows, maybe you'll mix and match different approaches,
create something unique.
Exactly.
And that brings us back to that idea of authenticity, right?
Something you said really resonated with me.
It's not just about the niche or the strategy,
it's about being genuine,
bringing your passion to the table.
Because people connect with people, not just products.
100%.
They wanna see the human behind the business, the story.
And when you're authentic,
when you truly believe in what you're promoting, it shows.
You build trust, make connections,
create a loyal audience who get you.
That's the key.
So as we wrap up, here's my final thought.
Don't be afraid to explore, try new things,
find what lights you up.
I love that.
Embrace the journey, learn from everything,
and most importantly, stay true to yourself.
Goodness, I did better myself.
It's been a pleasure diving into this with you.
Likewise.
And to everyone listening,
thanks for joining us on this deep dive
into the super affiliate system.
Hope you found it helpful.
And inspiring.
Remember, the best adventures are the ones you create yourself.
