Unlike some messages ( particularly emails ) that you see these days, this is not a scam to get you to buy Magic Banner Bot through my affiliate link. In fact there are no links in this post at all. This is a genuine warning about the resellers of the Magic Banner Bot software.

You see, I recently reviewed the Magic Banner Bot sales page sent to me by a marketer that I will not name in this post, but whom I trusted implicitly – until now. After laying out my $27.00 USD ( which is over $30.00 AUS ) I received the email with a link to my download page. Obviously there were free gifts and special offers, all of which were of no interest to me, but while wading through the download page I did notice that I would be required to have access to Winzip and Adobe Reader.

This is a standard practice to supply the links to those free products if there is a chance that the purchaser will need them, so I scooted past them knowing full well that I have programs to do those jobs but I appreciate the professionalism of having them on the download page. This is about where the professionalism ended and I will now recount for you the dramas of the following days so as to help you to avoid the same problem.

As I stated earlier, I am not including a link to the product in this post. The reasons are many but the main reason is because I will not recommend products or services that I will not use myself. It is not that Magic Banner Bot is a poor quality product, it may well be an outstanding product, but I will never know that because my “friend” sold me an incomplete product that I can not activate.

After downloading the product I unzipped it, as you would, only to find that there was no pdf document, text file or activation code included in the package as promised. Upon returning to Mr. K.R.’s site I realized that there are none of the general website requirements at the bottom of the page – Terms, Privacy, Disclosure and Contact links were all M.I.A.

So I returned to the email I received and followed the link that says “If you have any issues, please feel free to contact me on ……@……com” Shortly afterward I received an email in return and thought all my problems were solved – until I read it. It was sent by his sidekick and stated “This email address is no longer monitored. For inquiries about jv’s contact K.R. on ……..@……com”, which I did. No response.

Well here we are more than 10 days later and still no response so I thought I would approach Paypal about a refund. You know that you can question any purchase through Paypal and request a refund on various grounds right? WRONG! Because the product was supplied, and it was the correct product, Paypal don’t give a damn that it was incomplete and unable to be activated. So here I am with a useless product and no hope of a refund – charming!

I did try to contact K.R. several times through several channels, including the Paypal resolution center, to no avail. So it would seem that Mr. K.R. doesn’t need me as a subscriber as much as he needs to keep my $27.00 for a product that does not work – that’s fine! I have an ex-wife, so I don’t need friends like K.R. who will screw me at every turn.

So, now that I have had my rant, let’s get a few facts straight.

1. Don’t buy Magic Banner Bot through anyone with the initials of K.R.
2. Don’t buy anything through a marketer with the initials of K.R.
3. If you truly want a copy of Magic Banner Bot, go to the software owners – White Knight. ( It has been pointed out to me that K.R. is responsible for the supply of the activation code for the software that I bought from him. White Knight have no way to verify that I purchased the product and therefore no liability to make it work. )
4. Never purchase a product from a sales page that does not contain, at least, a contact address for the vendor. You should actually send off a question to that email address, before going through with the purchase, just to see if you get a response at all.

First off though, let’s talk about what AffiloBlueprint actually is. Created by Super-Affiliate Mark Ling and his Affilorama team, AffiloBlueprint claims to be a complete formula for creating successful affiliate sites. In the first release of the course last year, Ling actually used this formula to create a site in front of a live audience – a site that, in turn, ended up generating $500 in profit in a remarkably short time! In this latest release, Ling goes over that same methodology, but with an improved format and more in-depth lessons.

What really is this ‘formula’? The whole idea of AffiloBlueprint is that you can create multiple sites, in any viable niche you like, by using the same process over and over again. This means you can create a whole bunch of small $50 per week sites, and then just build up your income by building a whole bunch of sites. Then, as Ling explains, if you reinvest some of that money back into the sites in the form of building content and SEO campaigns, you can very quickly accelerate your earnings into the thousands a week – just by starting with a few $50 a week sites.

Tons of affiliate marketers understand the importance of providing a product review.  It’s a great way of turning that hesitant researcher into a hungry buyer.

The first thing you want to do after finding the right product, is make a list that you’ll use for your review.  List the pros and things you were really impressed with.  Then list the things you didn’t like and sections that left room for
improvement.

Use that information to fill out these two review outlines:

1. The Basic Review:-

The headline should be compelling.  One of the best ways to do this is to state that you were surprised or shocked about your personal experience with “X” product.

• Point one: Let them know who you are, how you found the product in question, and let them know that you’ve bought it.  Make your customer feel a little suspicious of the product by hinting at something like “it was over-hyped” or “it wasn’t at all what I expected”.
• Point two: State the great things you expected from the product, and how your dreams were interrupted by a fault in the product.
• Point three: Even though you thought there was no chance of it working, you decided it wouldn’t hurt to try.
• Point four: You tried the product and were shocked at it’s (positive) effect.
• Point five: Throw them off guard by NOT giving a glowing review.  If some problems were still there, let them know.  If it’s only a short term strategy for their problem, let them know.
• Point six: State that the product isn’t perfect and it isn’t for everyone.  Tell them who won’t gain anything from this and who shouldn’t bother buying it.
• Point seven: State the best benefit of the product (what it will do for the customer) and direct them to buy from your link.  Optional: offer a bonus product for buying through your affiliate link.

2. The Scam/Bad Review Turned Good:-

In the headline, imply that the product in question is a scam.  Say something that would lead people to believe that you’re angry, depressed, disappointed that this product is available for sale.

• Point one: State that you don’t believe a certain phrase found in the author’s copy or the product’s description.  State your reasoning for not believing that claim.
• Point two: Let people know that you’ve bought and used the product, and you know that the claim from point one is false because not everyone will see the same results.
• Point three: This point should focus on who will NOT benefit from the product and how they won’t be able to use it.
• Point four: Bring up the fact that you’re lucky because you could use the product. Even though it might have been a struggle for you, you managed to find a way to successfully use this product.
• Point five: Give details about how you worked around the obstacle, and how the product worked for you.
• Point six: State what results you got initially and how you saw room for improvement.
• Point seven: You improved on the method or got better at it, then saw even better results.
• Point eight: State that it’s a good product for most people and you recommend it, but only to those who will get something out of it.
• Point nine: Ask those customers who will benefit to act now if they want to see results similar to yours.

Yes, you’ll need to do 2 reviews (one basic review, one “looks like a scam” review) for each product you’re targeting.  Don’t let that turn you off though, because with a little practice you can write these up in no time.  Each time you
write a review you’ll be doing simple work that you can profit from forever.

I have used these basic review outlines many times and have never been disappointed with the results. You can view my review of The Affiliate Code here so you know what it should look like.

This method is simple, easy to follow and will work for just about any product you want to promote.

Placing your reviews on a free, heavily used site (like blogger) that makes you practically anonymous has many advantages:-

1. Your sites will never get banned for advertising/promoting in places that don’t want you to.
2. You can put your product name in the title/URL, which helps with SEO rankings.
3. Your affiliate accounts won’t get shut down for advertising/promoting in places that don’t want you to.
4. It’s super easy to set up – no FTPing, coding or anything.
5. It’s 100% free!  You don’t even need to buy a domain name!

Now that you’re familiar with it’s many advantages, sign up for a blog with blogger.  Setting up a blog here is a simple and straightforward process that should take just a few minutes.
You can set up your review sites one of 2 ways:-

1. Both reviews on 1 blog as I have done in the example I showed you earlier, using the product name in the blog title.
2. Create 2 blogs, the first one using productname.blogspot.com or productnamereview.blogspot.com and the second one using productnamescam.blogspot.com

This second option will double your chances of being found in organic search results.
