Affsphere + $5 Report = Awesome Affiliate Marketing System

In the past weeks, there has been a huge amount of buzz in the internet marketing corner of the blogosphere about the new article directory Affsphere. I finally got around to checking it out and all I can say is that it is bound for greatness. If you are ready to really bring your affiliate marketing to the next level using article marketing, you need to sign up for Affsphere immediately (membership is free) and take advantage of the $5 report offered: Not Your Typical Article Marketing Report. I’ll talk more about it later, but for now I’ll just say that it is the best article marketing report I have ever read at any price.

First Impressions of AffSphere

I knew that AffSphere was a service of Affiliate Classroom. I just joined that as well, but haven’t taken a look around yet. However, the man behind Affiliate Classroom, Anik Singal, is known for his affiliate marketing expertise and his willingness to share all of it – a rare combination in Internet Marketing, I’ve found. Affsphere itself is an article directory that offers eight ways to make money.. I’ll get to that in a moment, but first let’s go through the functional basics.

If you take a look at the ad on the right, you’ll see that it describes Affsphere as the perfect Article Directory. That’s some claim, huh? Well, given the synergistic (oops…said I wouldn’t use buzz words!) nature of Affsphere, I’d say they’re definitely onto something. When you sign in, you will see exactly what you’d expect from a professionally-designed article directory: categories, newsletter sign-up, a “Getting Started” link and all those other standard elements that keep visitors coming back day after day.

How the Affsphere Article Directory Works

Buzz words like integrated marketing and viral marketing are quite appropriate for Affsphere, but I’ll try to keep my overview as buzz-word free as possible. How’s this: It’s an article directory designed for affiliate marketers. This means you can place affiliate links in your article itself (up to three) and in your resource box (up to 2). Most article directories do not allow affiliate links at all and many do not allow live links in the articles themselves.

Affsphere is based on both a credit and commission system. The eight ways you can make money are: attracting traffic, placing banner ads, Google Adsense, your downline, viral recruiting, commissions from Affiliate Classroom sales, Affilate links and sales commissions. For more about each of these, I suggest you check out the 8 Ways you Make Money from Affsphere video. Basically, the features that make Affsphere different from other article directories are the many commission and sales opportunities within the site itself. Rather than just relying on people clicking through your resource box to a landing page, you can sell various report and memberships right on the site itself. And each page hosts Adsense ads that are rotated with various publisher ids based on the credit system.

Why you Should Definitely Purchase Not your Typical Article Marketing Report

When you first log into Affsphere, you will get a pop-up offer for a $5 report entitled Not Your Typical Article Marketing Report. (If it’s not there, it there will be a banner to click on at the top of the page when you log in) I’m not usually one to jump on an upsell, but after researching Anik and discovering his reputation for over-delivering, I decided to go with this one. Also, it was only $5 and there were some nice advertised bonuses as well like extra credits for Affsphere (2000!).

Usually when you download a $5 report. you are lucky to get maybe 20 pages of regurgitated material with perhaps one or two fresh tips that you can use. The beginning and end of the report generally feature a an ad for the expensive product you really need if you want to know how to succeed with whatever is being taught. Not so with this report. I loaded it up into my Adobe Reader and the page count registered at 96. A 96-page report for $5! I was blown away. So blown away, in fact, that I printed it and read it immediately.

It turns out that Not Your Typical Article Report is, as its name suggests, the exact opposite of a typical “teaser” reports. In fact, calling it a report is almost laughable. It is actually a full-fledged, fleshed-out marketing system. For $5 bucks. In my opinion, that’s better than free because people will actually read it. I mean no offense to anyone by that, I’m guilty of this myself. I’ve downloaded literally thousands of reports and e-books that I have never read, but I have read all of the reports for which I paid money. It’s a sad fact that people just don’t put as much value on something that is given to them for free.

I have already read through this report twice and have taken copious notes. It is such a complete system that I just have to put in the work to follow it and I know I’ll make money. I’ll update you on that once I start testing it. I could go on for days about how awesome this report is, but I’ll just leave you with my top three favorite things:

• It Tells the Whole Story: So many inexpensive reports are just teasers to get you to buy into some sort of upsell to get the full secret formula. Not so with this report. Anik shares all the information you need – including formulas and scoring systems he uses at each step of his process – to reproduce his money-making system.
• It is Beneficial at Any Level: If this is the first time you have ever heard the word “article directory,” you will be able to follow along without any problems given Anik’s clear and concise overview of the basic concepts and systems about which he writes. On the other end of the spectrum, even old pros will find fresh ideas here. I have written many articles about article marketing and and I still found Anik’s process new and exciting.
• Anik is a Good Writer (or has a killer proofreader): So many ebooks out there are just so poorly written. It doesn’t matter how good the ideas are if you don’t have the writing skills to get them across. (Shameless Plug: If you need a proofreader, visit IM Proofreading – more on that later) This report is easily understood and a well-organized read from beginning to end. I didn’t find myself getting lost mid-paragraph as I do so often with information products because Anik has a smooth, conversational writing style that keeps the reader thoroughly engaged.

I’m not sure what more I can say. If you want to make money online – and I assume you do if you are reading this blog – AffSphere and the accompanying report are worth your time and money. Article marketing is one of the most powerful ways to get your income streams moving and it would be nearly impossible to read Anik’s report and not succeed as long as you follow his steps exactly. Yes, writing quality articles can be hard work, but a solid series of articles well-placed can literally bring you traffic for years.

There is no such thing as a purely passive income – at least not to start. If you put in the work, you can build income streams that will run on autopilot, but first you have to set them up or pay someone else to set them up for you. This might be one of those points where you have to ask yourself: Am I trying to be an entrepreneur or am I just trying to find a way to sit on my a$$ all day doing nothing? If the answer is entrepreneur, then head on over to Affsphere and get yourself going. If your honest answer is that you really just want to sit on your a$$ doing nothing then you’re reading the wrong blog.
