This year seems to have been the year for using software that spy’s on Google and other PPC engines. But what about finding top affiliates to market YOUR products, or finding out what products are the hot sellers at any given moment. This is becoming harder every day.
As many of you know, Brad Callen launched Affiliate Elite recently and many of our students have been asking us for our opinion on the software. So we decided to get a copy and do a quick review for you. Here’s what we found:
This software has a TON of features - including a neat “ad spying” tool that watches Google Adwords. But, better yet, this tool has Clickbank” spying ability.
Note: If you like videos better than reading, you can see ALL the features in action. Click Here to watch the first 4 videos.
We came up with two creative strategies to show you how this tool could work for you. The first strategy assumes you have a product of your own to sell; the second is using the tool in more of an affiliate marketing capacity to find the most profitable niche products.
Creative Strategy #1
Let’s say you want to promote Affiliate Classroom and, because AC is a two-tier program, you also want to expand your affiliate list for it. It’s not sold on on Clickbank, so what good is Affiliate Elite in this case? Let’s see – You could go to Clickbank and type in “affiliate marketing” and discover all the OTHER merchants selling guides on affiliate marketing on Clickbank.
Then, while sorting through the results – you might find Rosalind Gardner’s book there, and then the light just might go off in your head - any affiliate doing a good job for her would likely be a great affiliate for Affiliate Classroom!”
So, all you do is visit her website and within just MINUTES you’ll have a nice list of an entire ARMY of affiliates that are promoting her eBook. Then just start contacting them.
Creative Strategy #2
Now for affiliates who don’t have their own products…how can AE immediately help you? How about being able to figure out what OTHER affiliates are selling.
Let’s use the same example as above.
Let’s say you go in and look for all the affiliates that are promoting Rosalind’s book. You will get an entire list of her affiliates AND a preview of their website. Simply scroll their site and see what OTHER affiliate marketing related products they are promoting!
This is a great way to gather competitive information and to find new affiliate programs to promote.
Again, both the strategies above use the same ONE feature - imagine what you can do with all the other features combined.
I highly recommend watching all 4 of the videos on this page:
And, all in all, yes, this software gets a major thumbs up from us. I only hope Brad can add CJ, Linkshare and other networks with future releases (and he’s already said that he’s researching that).
