How often have you thought to yourself if you were in the best affiliate training program? I know that I have asked it at some stage of every online training program I have purchased.

Then I got to thinking as I was chatting to one of my affiliate buddies on Skype, the best affiliate training program is really about getting a fit for you own particular training needs. Whilst I have previously completed review sites on Wealthy Affiliate,  Chris Farrell and Bring The Fresh, which suits what level of marketer and your own training needs must be addressed. So lets have a look at the top 3 affiliate training programs … In reverse order

——————————————————————————————————————————————–

#3 Chris Farrell Membership - 

The Story of Chris Farrell is one of those that inspires you to keep going. Chris started affiliate marketing only a few years ago and in that time has built quite a name for himself. His training that is delivered through video is cool, he has a great speaking voice and that alone instantly allows you to feel relaxed and trust what he says.

The Chris Farrell membership site is a website that caters for the “brand new” online marketer. His training is delivered mainly by video and there are a lot of text based tutorials as well. The first lessons that are introduced are the “how to build a website” however The website you are instructed to build is an HTML static site which hardly anyone builds as their first site these days!

The hundreds of articles available are not really grouped so you may have to search a bit if you want to become proficient at a particular method. However as CFM is more of an introduction to building an online business, the structure of the online training topics works.

For a lot of newbie members the Chris Farrell site works, you get a good introduction to what exactly you role as an affiliate marketer is. Keywords, landing pages, email marketing, article marketing etc are all covered. You are even given niches to target with landing pages and 52 email follow-up sequence.

What I didn’t really like or agree with is the niche that Chris encourages you to promote first is his own membership site, followed by his own camera and photography niche. I don’t know about you but a newbie promoting make money online sites just doesn’t work. The members within the Chris Farrell membership  struggle to make any money online from what I read in the forums.

On a positive note there are some good tutorials in traffic generation where CF walks you through his favourite methods for generating traffic, and there is also a great tutorial set of how to use facebook for marketing.Chris also allows the members to host unlimited sites for free on his servers which is a great bonus to their membership

Chris Farrell Membership Summary

The Chris Farrell site is a starting point, an introduction to online marketing however the training is a little too basic for me. There isn’t really anything new for the intermediate or advanced marketer and even the free hosting has it’s limitations. I would say that even though a lot of people have great things to say about Chris Farrell the man, however a lot less to be said about how they are actually making money with his help!

#2 Wealthy Affiliate University -

Now I have to say I struggled to place Wealthy Affiliate at #2 spot purely because they offer so much for so little, however I hope all will become apparent by the end of this rather long post.

The Wealthy Affiliate University is what I would certainly call the “full package” for any affiliate marketing newbie as well as intermediate to advanced marketers. The training for budding marketers at the wealthy affiliate membership site is absolutely top class.

The tutorials are available in Video text or even MP3 which suits most. Your first time in the Wealthy Affiliate members area you are met with a bit of a bombardment of info but don’t panic the top left of the page has a getting started section that will start you off on the right foot.

#1 Bring The Fresh -

The reason why I have bring the fresh here is that ONCE you know affiliate marketing the bring the fresh training really does compound your knowledge and shows you how to get your websites ranked and receiving traffic with minimal effort. So for me Bring the Fresh is my #1 choice as it is enabling me to use what I have leaned and super-charge it.

There are no tools or fancy website builders within Bring The Fresh, what you get inside that forum is complete and total access to the thinking and support of Kelly Felix and Mike Long plus some!

Bring the fresh is all about “a fresh approach” to online marketing utilizing SEO and wordpress sites. It’s no surprise to BTF members to see their new websites showing up in the search engine results within 24 hrs. I have witnessed niche sites being indexed, and on the 1st page of google within 72 hrs!

When you first join bring the fresh the basic training you get is almost too simple to matter, however IF you stick to the lessons taught in the fast start guide, you see results far quicker than you would have ever done before.  The initial basic training is literally just the tip of the ice burg. When you begin to study and apply the teaching of Kelly and Mike only then doe you realise the value of bring the fresh.

The real gold within Bring the Fresh isn’t just in the training materials that are provided via video and MP3 but it’s what’s shared in the forums buy not only the 2 founders Mike Long & Kelly Felix but also what the other members disclose, especially in the ‘full disclosure’ sections. I have never seen such “secret sauce info” disclosed so freely in any membership site.

A couple of sneaky examples ( that may well get me lynched! or at the very least tar and feathered):

By Awesome BTF member Prada

Came across this site on Flippa last night:

http://outbacksteakhousecouponshub.com/

It sold for $3K. Targeting “outback steakhouse coupons” (33,100 EXACT searches per month in USA)

It’s sitting at #2 right now.

He claimed it was on track to do $550/month just from AdSense. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this! There must be tons of restaurants out there that get similar searches for their name + coupons.

Haven’t checked out the competition in the SERPs, but check out these crazy numbers:

[pizza hut coupons] 201,000 ESPM (!!!)
[applebees coupons] 27,100 ESPM
[arby s coupons] 18,100 ESPM
[baja fresh coupons] 5400 ESPM
[benihana coupons] 4400 ESPM
[subway coupons] 40,500 ESPM
[red robin coupons] 14,800 ESPM
[kfc coupons] 49,500 ESPM
[burger king coupons] 14,800 ESPM
[chucky cheese coupons] 18,100 ESPM
[chuckie cheese coupons] 22,000 ESPM
[dominos pizza coupons] 27,100 ESPM
[mcdonalds coupons] 22,200 ESPM
