Avoiding scams is very simple: look for trusted third party validation. Don’t listen to me, search my name online and see what others who have seen first hand what I’ve done, say about me. Andrian Bye from MeetInnovators.com is one of them.

@Scott – Thanks a lot for your kind words and for the opportunity to share my ideas here. Hopefully, most affiliates will try to take action and change their lives instead of looking for excuses to do nothing.

@Irene – I can tell you are very smart. You are absolutely right! You can tell people everything you know, but listening to your words won’t transfer your experience. Experience and the confidence that comes from it, can only be acquired by doing things, not by listening or reading.

I’d have a transcriber produce a text version of this Webinar and the next one that I just finished producing. Thanks for the feedback.

For the life of me, I just cannot understand the terminology words that are being used. I have played this video over and over again and I am having so much trouble understanding the most important parts.

Would the owner of this page please do a TEXT VERSION of the video please……as I am sure that there are many Newbies in my shoes that also will run into this problem.

Thank you

In regard to Ben’s comment: Just because someone tells you how they did it, does not mean that there is a guarantee that you too will do it. I always shared my methods with fellow salesmen, I was right there with them, and they still blew the deal, so I would step in and close the deal. Don’t ask me why this is so, but it is. Hamlet is not asking you to send him $5. and no, you don’t have to buy any courses. But HE obviously is intuitive enough to know that by sharing some information to get affiliates started in the right direction….
his business will grow because of their success.

Now, getting back to why I am commenting.

I am so green in this field and cannot make out what Hamlet is saying in certain parts. Those of you who are savvy with terminology can pick up the words he flies thru, but a green newbie, unfamiliar with terminology can’t.

The video slide bar is not very co-operative when I want to replay certain segments to here those garbled words again, in the hopes of catching what he is saying.

It would be great if you would consider offering Hamlet’s presentation in text form also, for those of us who are trying real hard to understand this business and the great tips that we are missing because of the poor audio value in the video.

Thank you again for sharing.

You make a lot of assumptions without possessing any of the facts.

First, Hamlet Batista is one the biggest authorities on SEO in the Affiliate Marketing industry. Period. Do some research and ask around and you’ll soon learn that.

Second, as for the webcam – yes, the video is shot with a webcam because that is what we requested of Hamlet. The education series that MediaTrust is providing to our partners is not about slick production value, it’s about great content from smart people. Simple is sometimes better.

Third, you said:

“If “any” of these affiliates were really making the kind of money they boast about – they would certainly not be telling you how to become their competition.”

Trust me, there are affiliates making this kind of money. Lots of them. Again, do some research – MediaTrust did over $38 million dollars in revenue last year with the help of our affiliate partners. I can tell you everytime I cash my paycheck that that is very real money.

Finally, I’m always skeptical of the intent of someone that comes onto a blog and without provocation starts reeling off the type of angry inaccuracies that you spouted. There is usally some other motivation for it – in my experience it’s often times envy or jealously.

You, of course, have a right to your opinion Ben, but it would probably be taken more seriously if you spoke in facts and with an actual understanding of the industry.

Thank you for commenting.

Tell you what – when I make my first million bucks from online marketing – the “LAST” place you will find me is sitting in an apartment talking to my webcam about “how” I got rich.

Get real people …. Anytime you listen to anyone talk about how rich they are and how you can get there too – your waisting your time. If “any” of these affiliates were really making the kind of money they boast about – they would certainly not be telling you how to become their competition – and probably not even be spending any time at all talking on webcams trying to sell you something.

Reminds me of a newspaper ad a while back …

“Find out how to make a million bucks in one month. Send $5.00 to xxxx and get the info packet”.

Okay – so who doesnt have $5.00 …

Run a few hundred ads like that in newspapers across the country and get all these people sending you 5 bucks.

I was one of them, and gave my $5.00 for the info package and you’ll never guess what it was.

This “info package” was a letter that simply said “To make a million bucks in one month – do what I did”.

Duh

This guy doesnt make money from affiliate programs – he makes money from people paying to tell them how he makes money on affiliate programs. Very similar to the fact that the only people making any money on Twitter – are the people selling info on “how” to make money on twitter.

Stop trying to sell “stuff” and just sell bullshit like everyone else online these days – and you get rich. Send me $5.00 and I’ll show you how … haha. I’ll even send you photoshoped images of my paypal and google payments … lol.

I can’t agree more with your point on first testing if the offer works via PPC and then moving your budget towards SEO spend.

I am looking forward to this on-going series of webinars. Big props to MediaTrust for pushing this education initiative. Most other networks only offer “the highest payouts on exclusive offers” (and MediaTrust can too), but here this is one of a limited amount of marketing education resources from CPA networks themselves.

While other networks are pushing high payouts, MediaTrust is educating affiliates with valuable resources on the MediaTrust Blog, which allow you become more successful marketers. Thanks guys!
