1. Success Challenge for Affiliate Marketing (Paid)

• Save

The Success Challenge for Affiliate Marketing is brought to us by FourPercent and is one of the most comprehensive affiliate marketing courses out there today. And I should know because I’ve taken the course myself.

• Save

But you don’t have to take my word for it.

• Save

FourPercent has a TrustScore of 4.9 out of 5 on TrustPilot, an independent review site.

So what is the Success Challenge?

It’s the top affiliate marketing training and implementation system today. 

Unlike the rest in this post, this course is a “challenge.” And as such, you need to put the lessons you will learn from the sessions into practice.

And the great thing about the Success Challenge?

It supplies you with everything you need to know about making money as an affiliate even without the basic knowledge of the subject!

The course has three levels: the $10K Challenge, $100K Challenge, and $1M Challenge.

• Save

Level 1 has 30 sessions or “pills” in total. And just like a pill, you can only take one session a day to maximize the course.

• Save

Each pill has an average of 3-4 hours of video modules to complete.

• Save

The first level will help you establish the mindset towards a successful affiliate marketing business.

As you move on to each session and level, you will learn about the actual process of making money selling affiliate products to your audience.

Of course, you don’t want to learn affiliate marketing from some random person or “guru” who claims to know the secrets of successful passive income.

• Save

Thankfully, Vick Strizheus, founder and CEO of FourPercent, is the host of the Success Challenge for Affiliate Marketing. He built the course based from his experiences as an affiliate marketer. 

His success led him to the creation of FourPercent and the success of 300,000 others through his coaching program.

• Save

To learn more about Vick and his method, join his FREE webinar as he discusses how he made from zero to $11,506 a day through affiliate marketing.

5. SEO Affiliate Domination (Paid)

• Save

When you first visit the site, SEO Affiliate Domination might underwhelm you. There’s no talk about what the course offers or what perks you get when you sign up.

Even the Q&A section fails to address some of the concerns raised by users.

• Save

However:

SEO Affiliate Domination’s instructor is Greg Jeffries. He’s a notable internet marketer most famous for being one of ClickFunnels’ top earners. He specializes in search engine optimization.

His course introduces users to SEO and how to build a website to promote your business.

As with other courses, membership comes with access to the SEO Affiliate Domination Facebook community page. And you’ll be learning directly from a seasoned online marketer.

• Save

The only downside is the price. You could pay a one-time payment of $997 or 3 monthly payments of $397 which is kind of steep given how short it is (as explained in the Q&A section).

10. Commission Hero (Paid)

• Save
