3) For the bank account, I don’t think it’s necessary to set up a business account or something. I’m not really familiar with the banking system and the rule just yet. But a lot of my friends are doing well with normal bank accounts if I’m not wrong. Anyway, most of the time, your affiliate commission will be paid to your PayPal account first. After that, you can then transfer it to your own bank account if you need the money.
First of all, I have been with WA for years and I’am getting good results. So you definitely have no rights to say that I’m misinformed or anything like that. Just because you had some problems for your site in WA, it doesn’t mean WA has the full responsibility for it. I’ll explain later. But to be honest, I must say you’re the one that’s misinformed.
It CAN be worked with the basics but it will take you a long time to get them working using a host sublinked website and just 2 before you have to pay for your domains which one should want to do even for the 1st two so you do not have the long sublink. I wouldn’t buy from a sublink. I would think it is a trap or a “sneaky” website more so than a “trusted” dot com site. That is why it is ALWAYS worth paying the $11.99 or $12.99 for the domain registration, for the MILLIONS of people like me in the computer security field.
There is nothing wrong with that because I am also an Affiliate and have launched only 1 product in which I was the 3rd partner lol. So it’s totally upon you. But there will be some people who will definitely try this because it is powerful stuff. It’s great for creating a customer base or email and list and then promoting relevant products to them.
Sadly, it has and still IS going on. When I finally decided to leave WA and not renew at the roughly $400 gold member membership price, WA changed the websites email holder to no longer for example to be mike@lovelightsllc.com but to mike@domainshield.com. I have had several agencies contact the owners of WA to rectify this plan and I have even been emailed directly saying that they have “fixed the problem”.
I just completed week 8 after spending about 30 minutes every other day and $47 to digest this affiliate marketing thing. I’ve had reservations since day one as the information seems outdated. Everything your review mentions is true. My own research on their claims back it up as I’m skeptical by nature. Before I took the next step and spend another $500 I decided to dig a little deeper and found your blog and am so glad I did. Their niches suck, and amazingly their number one popular product to market is Clickbank! the second most popular is the dog training Adam keeps mentioning in the affiliate path.
You can use this skill to help other businesses drive customers to their business. It’s kind of like affiliate marketing, but is often a lot more hands-off and easier to manage. Even though I didn’t want to really create my own products, the information in the vendor section covering ad copy and sales video was critical to becoming a proficient lead generation specialist.
