I posted this on my Sassy blog but wanted to share it here. As writers you may benefit from this if you’re thinking about starting on some niche affiliate sites to increase your income from sources other than your paid writing.
Hope you enjoy!
I’m on Week 5 of the DAT Program. I wanted to get a few weeks into it before I worked on my Daily Affiliate Tasks review.
At the time I signed up I wanted to create a few affiliate niche sites. However, my main focus has moved to building up my PLR store, so I’m not working hard and heavy on the niche sites at this time, but that’s okay. Susanne’s course was created for people who are building niche sites on a part-time basis. Maybe you still have a full time job or a business you’re already running. Most of her tasks only take about 30 minutes per day. If you have more time than that, she suggests you run with it and double the efforts of what you’re working on each week.
I have purchased one of her Affiliate Niche Packs before so I felt like she would most likely include some research material, step by step guides and daily checklists. She does.
This course is extremely beginner friendly. When I first received weeks 1 and 2 I thought I was a little farther ahead than that, but today I read over all the lessons again so I could start this review and I discovered some tips I’d missed. If you get this course, try to read each lesson twice a week. Read the lesson when it comes in, start implementing the outline and do the tasks. Later in the week, go back and read it again. You’ll most likely find some little nugget that you missed.
The price of this course is $10 per month. She could easily charge that per week and it’d be a good deal. It’s very basic, but it’s all very comprehensive–especially if you read the lesson twice per week.
The Benefits:
- You will work on something each day–at least five days per week.
- It’s simple, easy to follow, but you have to do the tasks or the course is useless.
- You’ll learn about reusing and repurposing content you’ve already created.
*Note–weeks 4 and 5 may take a bit longer than 30 minutes per day—so try to plan ahead if you can.
She even shares tutorials from her other courses–included as bonuses–to explain what she’s talking about. She also links to articles she’s written and uses some screenshots so you have a visual aid of her directions.
The Drawbacks:
I have noticed a few typos, but I’ve learned that most writers don’t always catch their own typos. I can spot yours a mile away—however, I miss mine all the time. In your own material, your brain already knows what it meant to say and sometimes it skips the typo because it doesn’t “see” it.
This is just a minor pet peeve of mine. Yes, even though I make my own mistakes, I’m a bit typo picky. I also feel a bit petty to share that with you, but if you’re a stickler for those things you will spot them and I don’t want you coming back to me saying I didn’t catch those. End of my pet peeve.
Who needs this course?
If you’re a complete beginner or not seeing the results you’d like in affiliate marketing, this is a very good course for you. If you’re more advanced, this course may not be suited to you. You may find it too basic and easy. However, if you’re not getting results from your marketing plan, you may get a few insights on things you can do or things you can do better.
Don’t have a niche?
Earlier, I mentioned that I’ve purchased her niche research packs. If you don’t have a niche yet and need some help in the research for it, these are very comprehensive packs. You get keyword lists, article titles you can start with and build on, domain name suggestions, etc. Check that out if you’re still not sure which niche you want to do affiliate marketing in.
If you already have your niche and need some help to grow your business, grab this affiliate course so you can get started right away. Remember, most of the work only takes 30 minutes per day.
