\"\"Well, I've just come across another<\/em> example of an affiliate marketing coach who charges through the nose for training that takes people down a path leading to nothing more than a waste of time and effort<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

In this case, the affiliate ‘coach' teaches his students how to place ads for Clickbank products on Craigslist.<\/p>\n

If you've come across this advice — request a refund and leave the program now!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under Craigslist's Terms of UseSection 7<\/a>, subsection k, you must agree<\/p>\n

… not to post, email, or otherwise make available Content that constitutes or contains “affiliate marketing<\/strong>,” “link referral code,” “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or unsolicited commercial advertisement; …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, that includes posting ads that link directly to Clickbank products, which is exactly what he advises.<\/p>\n

UGH!<\/p>\n

Perhaps, that's something that worked for him in the past — but teaching it as an affiliate marketing method to new students of the topic is just wrong… especially when the lesson is part of his “Quick Start” series.<\/p>\n

Seriously, if he's teaching this crap, how can you trust any of his other advice?<\/p>\n

So, like I said before, if you see this video in your training package, just cancel that $200 per month subscription and join a REAL affiliate training program – Affiliate Blogger PRO<\/strong><\/a> – (shameless self-promotion of my own product). <\/p>\n

I specialize in sharing REAL, honest promotional methods that work (and don't abuse Terms of Service) — but only if YOU work. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
