Like many IM addicts, I came across a newer membership site that I looked into.  I am tired of seeing junk out there so obviously I can be a skeptic.  So for my own curiosity, I had to did a little deeper.  Here is my take on it…

Review of the Affiliate Power Group

The Affiliate Power Group (APG for short) is an online coaching group aimed at both newbies who want to start making money online and more experienced website owners who need help getting more traffic and sales.

If you are considering joining the Affiliate Power Group you probably want to find out more about it before signing up. As a member of the Affiliate Power Group, I can give you some insight into what you’ll get for your money and whether or not it is right for you.

What do Members of the Affiliate Power Group Receive?

Every member has access to the following:

• 5 Experienced Internet Marketing Coaches in a private member forum.
• A 12 Week Traffic Action Plan.
• A Learning Center full of internet marketing training videos and guides.
• A Download Area containing hundreds of PLR Articles and MRR/PLR EBooks (Home Business/IM and Niche Topics).
• Help to Build a Website.
• Big Discounts on Ready Made Niche Affiliate.
• A Free WordPress install (non trial members only).
• 10 new PLR/MRR EBooks each month (Home Business/IM and Niche Topics).
• 100 or more new PLR articles each month.

What is the Private Forum Like?

One thing you will notice when you go to the forum for the first time is how friendly it is. In some online forums you’ll get shot down for asking a question that has already been answered or including an affiliate link in your signature. Not the Affiliate Power Group! There is no such thing as a stupid question in here and you’ll find that the staff and the members are all very friendly and welcoming. It is like a little community where everyone helps one other.

There are a few different sections the forum, including a section on traffic building, another on search engine optimization, a general marketing section, an off topic section and most importantly the 1-1 Coaching section where you can get an in-depth critique of your website and marketing techniques and some constructive suggestions for how to improve.

What is covered in the Training and Action Plans?

Many topics are covered both in the step by step action plans and in the video training. These include:

• Research and Planning
• Website Creation
• WordPress Training
• Webmaster Training
• Keyword Research
• Search Engine Optimization
• List Building
• Article Marketing
• Backlink Building
• Joint Ventures
• Social Marketing
• Social Bookmarking
• Outsourcing
• Twitter
• Press Releases
• Niche Marketing
• Pay Per Click
• Cost Per Action (CPA)
• Marketing Tools

Who is the Affiliate Power Group not right for?

The APG does not include training on product creation, so if you want to create your own product, you will find that this is not covered in the training. However, if you already have a product and need help with traffic, conversion or techie stuff, then you will probably find the training and the coaching very useful.

Is the Affiliate Power Group right for me?

If you are completely new to online business and not sure how to get started, the Affiliate Power Group is a great choice as it will get you on track for success, with your own website and marketing plan.

Alternatively, if you already have a website, but need technical help, more traffic or more sales, then you can get a lot out of the Affiliate Power Group, both from the action plan and learning center and also from the 1-1 coaching section of the forum.

How Much is It?

The basic price is $1 for a 10 day trial and then $39.95 per month. If you think you will be a member for more than a few months you can save money by opting for a quarterly price of $109.95 or a yearly price of $297. The yearly price will save you 38%.

As I was out on a run the other day, I really discovered something I wanted to share with you.

It makes me wonder how much effort businesses put in their marketing.

I apologize how jittery the video is…don’t get seasick!

I just found out about a 16 year old that makes more money using the internet than most people I know.  The crazy thing is, he makes it look so easy.

His name is Rob Rammuny and his blog is RobsWebTips.

Make money online

I have been working with my online business now for over 3 years but didn’t start making money with it until just this past year!

I over complicated the process when in fact I had most of the skills I needed within the first couple of months.  The problem was that I didn’t have anyone telling me that I was in a position to be making money with it then.  I believed that I was working at my business by myself and didn’t have the support structure in place.  I couldn’t have been more wrong!

There are some amazing resources out there to help steer you in the right direction.  The number one thing I can recommend to you is to have a mentor.  You need that one person to help keep you focused as well as someone you can bounce ideas off of.  Even if they can’t give you immediate feedback, most of the great mentors have  a forum where you can easily get feedback.

It is an amazing community and knowledge has no age limit – just to prove it, check out Rob’s Blog!

I have some great information that I will be sharing in the upcoming days.  I have recently been testing some traffic methods for my book IM ADDICTED! and I will share the results with you.

The thing is – I didn’t come up with these ideas on my own.  I just purchased what I believe to be one of the best traffic training tools I have ever seen.  It is called Traffic Dashboard.  Kim Roach is the creator and all I can say is – INCREDIBLE!

Since I just purchased it a couple of days ago, I implemented one of the traffic methods last night.  Before I share what I did, I want to get some tracking results first so you and I can see first hand how it is working.

Until Next Time,

Todd – The IM Addict

With just getting my newest blog up and running, I have found that it is INCREDIBLY hard to stay away from information overload.  The technology we use to be on the internet is changing at lightning speed. 

How do we keep ourselves from being smothered from it all?

The first thing you need to ask yourself is – will it help my business be better?

If the answer is no – delete it out of your brain IMMEDIATELY!  If you don’t and you start second guessing yourself, you will potentially buy something else that will sit on your hard drive for eternity.

The next thing you should ask yourself – Can I use this tool right away without it being a time robber?

Again, if it has a negative impact on your schedule and you don’t see yourself making your business better, you will most certainly lose time that can NEVER be replaced.

I have some very cool tools that I am starting to use for my business.  I will be sharing them with you in the next few days. 

Until then – MAKE IT HAPPEN!
