~ The Affilorama Review ~

 

Affilorama Overview

As the name suggests, Affilorama is all about affiliate marketing. It is in-depth training, a community of like-minded online entrepreneurs and it is ongoing support.

Affilorama was started back in 2005 by a guy named Mark Ling. Prior to this Mark had already achieved success with several online ventures and decided to establish a training ground to teach affiliates how to sell online. Since the early days the courses, training and videos have been constantly updated to maintain relevance in an ever-changing online marketplace.

This platform is made up of several membership levels and various levels of training, which I’ll cover below. Basically Affilorama teaches you how to choose profitable niches for websites, how to set up a website, keyword research so you content gets ranked, and how to make money from your affiliate marketing business.

New members can join for free and take a look around. You can even access some of the lessons without paying a cent.

 

What Is The Target Audience?

Although advanced marketers may still find something of use here, this platform is really aimed at novices looking to get a start in this lucrative industry. Intermediate marketers who started with Affilorama as beginners will probably stick with it for a while as they learn more and sharpen their skills, but I really don’t see advanced marketers putting their money and time into this training.

 

Affilorama Online Tools

 

Free and Premium Memberships

You can get started for free and have access to many great tools and training to get you started. You can even create and host your first website free of charge. This gives you a great chance to have a good look around and see if Affilorama is for you.

Once you’ve decided it is what you’re looking for to learn all about affiliate marketing as a business, then you will really need to upgrade to a Premium Membership to take full advantage of everything this comprehensive training platform has to offer the budding marketer. An upgrade only costs $1 for the first month of Premium Membership.

 

AffiloTools

This is all about website monitoring and statistics. Members can get started with AffiloTools for free for their first website. After that there are upgrade options to monitor more than one site.

It keeps tabs on your website SEO, which keywords are performing and which are not. AffiloTools also crunches data from social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter so you are kept up to date on where your traffic is coming from and the quality of that traffic.

Easily track rankings in different search engines, including your rankings for keywords, which pages have been indexed, Facebook likes and Twitter retweets, and even your ClickBank affiliate earnings. You can even monitor what your closest competitors are doing. AffiloTools also keeps track of your website health.

 

AffiloTheme

AffiloTheme is essentially what the name suggests; themes for setting up attractive and profitable websites. It comes with full video training so you know exactly what to do every step of the journey. You not only get templates to create websites, but also opt-in forms and squeeze pages that convert.

With 6 themes rolled into one you have the power to create stunning websites with the flexibility of lots of theme options. You can change your colour scheme at the click of a mouse and even change the layout to anything you want at any time. AffiloTheme comes with a specialised Header creator so you can give this important part of website real estate that wow factor. Added to this is a handy custom graphics creation tool so you can create images, eye-catching headlines, buttons and much more.

There are regular updates and a forum specifically devoted to AffiloTheme issues and conversations. Along with this comes 24/7 technical support as well a quality and reliable website hosting.

 

AffiloBlueprint

AffiloBlueprintThis is Affilorama’s step-by-step blueprint for making money online. This is where Affilorama gets into the nuts and bolts of setting up a successful online business that’s not only done the right way, but will generate an income for years to come.

AffiloBlueprint teaches you the steps to success that you can simply repeat for each new website you create. All you have to do is be committed to the learning and the work and follow the training. As they say, why change the system if it works. Follow what’s already proven to work, and that’s what the AffiloBlueprint is designed to teach you.

Go along with the video guidelines to build your first website from scratch all the way through a full-blown, content-rich and monetised site. You will also be shown how to create quality content with good SEO to get ranked in the search engines.

Here’s what’s in AffiloBlueprint:

  • 90+ video lessons
  • Private member’s forum
  • Downloadable lessons and course notes
  • Lifetime access
  • Bonus: AffiloTheme Website Builder
  • Bonus: A year’s hosting for 1 website
  • Bonus: 1 month trial of Affilorama Premium Membership

Basically Premium Membership and AffiloBlueprint are essentially the same thing. They are very similar, at least. Instead of paying for the blueprint you might just be better off signing up as a Premium Member and pay month to month.

 

AffiloJetpack

AffiloJetpackAs Mark Ling says, this is: “The system for building moneymaking machines that earn you a huge income on autopilot”.

AffiloJetpack is all about building an email list and marketing to that list via a series of emails set up with an autoresponder. Mark recommends having a year’s worth of emails (around 90 or so) and with Jetpack he provides you with those emails ready to go. These emails are all expertly written by professional writers/marketers and are designed to sell.

You even get opt-in forms premade as well as squeeze pages to snare people’s email addresses. Your “bait” or lead magnet is also included. This is a free gift subscribers are promised when they subscribe to your list.

AffiloJetpack doesn’t just give you the tools to use, it also teaches you how to go about setting up your email list, how to market to get subscribers and, most importantly, how to convert those subscribers to paying customers.

Content-rich websites are necessary, but so is building your email list.

 

The Pros Of Affilorama

  • You receive comprehensive step-by-step training, and there is loads of training at Affilorama. Literally hundreds of videos and online lessons.
  • Learn the basics of affiliate marketing the right way from the very start.
  • Affilorama has a very active and helpful online community of members. Ask and get answers to all your questions in the forums.
  • Mark Ling is an experienced online marketer and he has set up a very valuable training ground here with the Affilorama platform.

 

The Cons

  • AffiloJetpack is quite expensive. It’s a one-off payment rather than a monthly ongoing fee, but it’s a sizeable hit to the wallet straight up.
  • There are upsells and you receive quite a few emails when you first sign up.
  • You need to pay every step of the way to access different tools and membership levels. The myriad of options can get confusing.

 

Tools, Training and Support

There is a lot to learn here and some of it is free to get going, including setting up your first money making website. What’s involved with the training has been covered above and it’s pretty comprehensive. As far as support goes there is technical support as well as a forum of active members that operates around the clock. If you ever need help with anything, an answer is just a click of a mouse away.

 

How Much Does Affilorama Cost?

New members can get started for FREE and gain access to 100+ training videos.

Premium Membership – $1 for first 30 days, then $67 per month

AffiloTools – FREE for the first website

AffiloTheme – $97

AffiloBlueprint – $197 Lifetime Access

AffiloJetpack – $997

There are money back guarantees for all products purchased on Affilorama, so there’s no risk in trialling the full version of the platform or its products.

 

Final Take On Affilorama

The online world is tainted with scams and get rich quick schemes. With Affilorama Mark Ling has created a genuine training platform for both novice and experienced marketers. While there are a number of upsells, the price to learn invaluable information like this is but a small price to pay for setting up a successful, long-term online business.

4 thoughts on “What Is Affilorama and Is It Legit?

  1. Hi there, I found your review fair and thorough. Your article on affililorama is spot on.

    The free trial option is useful for just wanting to take a look around. But with all those upsells and various options, I don’t think I am going to even give it a try.
    I had a series of bad experience with products with lots of upsells. I think I will skip this one.

    I own a website which is just 7 year old. In your opinion, do you think it is advisable to give it a try?

    • Hi Alex. If you don’t like programs that are constantly trying to upsell you on something, then you probably won’t like being a member of Affilorama. They do like to push the upsells. It sounds like you’re pretty experienced with affiliate marketing anyway. That’s not to say Affilorama can’t offer you something new, or a fresh perspective if you feel you need one. It is free to take a look around, so perhaps you could do that and see if it offers something of value to you.

  2. I’ve heard of Affilorama and was wondering what kind of training it actually provided. The training sounds pretty thorough from what you have described here. I am more familiar with a learning platform called Wealthy Affiliate. Have you heard of it? If so, how would you compare them?

    Another question:
    In the AffiloBlueprint section, you mentioned that AffiloBlueprint and the premium membership are essentially the same thing and you would be better off paying for the premium membership. But at the end you mention that Premium Membership is $1 for first 30 days, then $67 per month, whereas AffiloBlueprint is $197 for Lifetime Access. Those statements seem contradictory. Could you clarify?

    Really appreciate it,
    Robin

    • Hi Robin. In answer to your first question, I prefer Wealthy Affiliate. One of the main reasons is the community. I also think their training is superior; especially when you add in all the member training on top of the official courses. Affilorama is one of the best affiliate marketing training platforms out there, though. I just consider WA to be superior overall.

      AffiloBlueprint is an upsell. What I meant was, it’s best to just stick to your Premium membership and not pay extra for the AffiloBlueprint add on as it really doesn’t offer much more of value than what you get with your Premium membership anyway. I hope that clears that up for you. Thanks for reading.
