Features
Top web guru and affiliate marketer Mark Ling and his team have put together Affilorama to offer their members step-by-step lessons and strategies to make money online. While they offer bundles of materials that might be one of the best packages available on the Internet, what sets them apart is their use of various multimedia formats that visually teach the user, whether a beginner in the field or a seasoned professional, about the art of making money online.
The homepage of the website is a little confusing if a visitor does not understand the concept of an affiliateÃÆ’‚ÂÂÂÂÂÂ. When first loading the homepage, we see an Affiliate Directory Search. For beginners, they might ask, What does this mean? Additionally, the sales page is short and to the point. However, Affilorama need to outline what they offer a little more. They offer so many great tools, software, e-books and video lessons, and the six-part mini e-course is an informative bonus available to anyone who visits the site.
The US $29.95 per month fee is comparable to other affiliate websites. It would be a plus to get a yearly-reduced rate, optional payment strategies, or other special rates. Some websites that charge a monthly fee do not add content as regular as they should. The team at Affilorama updates their website almost daily, offers new videos, interviews, lessons, and quality services that are always being enhanced. So, in reality, the per-month fee is actually a good deal.
The magic begins once inside the members area. To the left are easy-to-navigate menu items. It gives you access to the Affilorama Blog, with quality, up-to-date content that often becomes new lessons in the Affilorama program. Two slightly confusing sections on the members column is the Add Affiliate Program, where one can add their website to the Affilorama database, along with the Affiliate Directory section. These should be explained further.
In the first part of the main section, members have access to the newest additions to the website. Here, recent videos, blog postings, and recent website reviews are accessible. Following, one can access the mini e-course available to users at no cost on the homepage. Next, a set up that we enjoyed very much is a 90-Day Road Map Course, which is lesson one. Each lesson of the course comes with video (that can be downloaded or viewed online) with corresponding notes. Affilorama covers all the bases in their package.
Lesson two begins by teaching users what they need to know about one of the most important aspects of Internet marketing research. It discusses keyword research, pay-per-click markets and tips, and even a lesson on Gender Advertising. The course moves on to Lesson Three, which talks specifically about web design. Through very detailed lessons, Affilorama teaches you how to set up websites in Dreamweaver and Xsite Pro. Then, you can learn how to add a forum to your website using the popular phpBB.
Lessons four and five are dedicated to Google, and very well done. Recently added is a discussion about the current and major algorithm change by Google this last summer, and how you can work your site to comply with Googles demands for quality and relevance, making your overall ad costs go way down.
Lesson six and seven are unique when compared to other affiliate websites out there. They actually outline how you can organically optimize your site for the search engines. This includes writing articles and getting organic traffic. The following lessons are geared towards marketing and the Video Interviews with Top Internet Gurus can be accessed at the bottom of the members main page.
Ease of Use
The members area is well organized and easy to navigate. The lessons are designed and numbered accordingly, so that you can keep track of what you have done and what you have to look forward to. The 90-Day Road Map Course is easy to follow and will give a user the necessary background information to begin making money as an affiliate.
Content Quality
Again, all of the lessons are done in quality video, where the narrator actually uses live video and screen shots to visually guide you through each and every step discussed. Even the pointer of the mouse that the narrator uses is highlighted so that you can easily follow where and what is being done. Plus, you do not have to be connected to the Internet to watch the lessons. It is a remarkable teaching system. Additionally, each e-book manual corresponds to each lesson, which can be used to read along, as a reminder, or as review materials. Moreover, Affilorama actually does add material consistently to their website, which keeps users coming back daily to see if theres anything new.
The Good
No other website offers such quality and informative videos as Affilorama. For those users who are more visual in the way they learn, this would be the choice. The videos are not difficult to understand, and the program sticks to its guarantee of offering its members great information, whether they are new or well seasoned in the game of Internet marketing. And, best of all, Affilorama does not speak in general terms. Their case studies of other websites are superb. The narrator goes straight to the point and discusses the good, the bad, and the risky. By analyzing other websites and what they are doing, a member will learn a great deal about the overall methods of website optimization, SEO tactics, and how to avoid black hat trends.
The Bad
he website does not have many cons. As mentioned, the affiliate directory on the homepage and inside the members area might be a bit confusing to those who are just beginning in the Internet marketing field.
The Bottom Line
Overall, Affilorama does a superb job and goes beyond the call of duty in what they offer. Is the US $29.95 per month worth the price tag? You bet. Do they offer quality, practical, and updated material to their members? Yes, they do. Furthermore, Affilorama offers a well-rounded approach to website creation and maintenance. They do not only teach how to make money as an affiliate, but they also teach you how you can create and design a website that will be recognized and placed well in various search engines, such as Google. They appeal to the big business that might be able to afford to spend lots of money and to those on a tighter budget it is nice they have thought of the little guy!
