Hi Richard
Your website is absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t find one little thing to penalize you on. Your review on WA is so outstanding, I didn’t see anything quite like it before. And I can be really critical. I’m gonna follow your sound advice in one of your pages and I’m gonna bookmark your website for future reference. It sure was an enjoyable experience reading through your pages.
Thank you and take care.
To be candid, I didn’t quite like the opening page, that big red jumping out kinda hit me in the face and if I wasn’t doing a review I may have just closed the page.
One i had got past the initial slap in the face, lol, I opened the WA Review page, I found it very long and for me I didn’t like the long scroll down. I’m still very early in the training so I don’t know if you can somehow put links in the page for the different sections. Alternatively, shorten it by using up a ‘continue reading’.
There is one item in the text, ‘Daily Action Plan’, I found myself wanting to click it and go to some information about what it is. I don’t know if you’ve intended it as a link or not.
The Get Started page was much better.
The Success page, again I thought it was long.
I liked the page My System, very concise and easy to understand the process. The only suggestion I have for this page is that there appears to be a couple of links in the text (in red font), they don’t seem to be working.
I hope this comment has been useful, everything has been stated with good intentions.
Hi Abdusalam, Thanks for your input. Yes I’ve changed out the red I looked at it first thing in the morning and it was more than my bleary eyes could take!
Also wanted to thank you for your critique of my other content, which I’ve found very informative. I guess firstly there are no broken links (the red text you refer to), but maybe they should be (idea!).
Also on the review page, there is a quick navigation table to allow people to find the content they want, but I’ve re-labeled it to hopefully make it more obvious.
You also hit on an interesting topic – long content versus concise short content. In my experience, if you’re writing for people concise wins, BUT does concise short content rank well in search engines?
In my opinion long content wins with search engines every time. What I’m trying to do going forward is to create summary (Concise) content to sit atop of my content for those that just want the basics, with the detailed long content below it …hopefully satisfying people and search engines 🙂
Hi, I just checked out the live webinar video and I can tell this guy definitely knows what he is talking about. I have used a few of the affiliate community sites like WA and I am currently trying to become a full time affiliate.
My question is, have you used this course? Also how far have you gotten into the course and what are your results?
I’m a premium ‘lifetime’ member of Four Percent because in my opinion that this is going to be a very lucrative marketplace of products to promote as an affiliate.
In terms of the training I’ve only used the free training in both the structured “7 Steps to Success” and through watching Vick’s frequent webinars which are really good if you’re interested in Direct Response marketing.
So the not so secret secret to Vick’s success as an affiliate has been his ability to create a unique marketing vehicle that enables him to be different, add value to visitors and subscribers, before promoting the affiliate product AFTER he has established trust and rapport (classic marketing really).
Hence why a lot of Vicks messaging is to encourage people to create and promote themselves as their brand before they talk about products.
This goes way beyond writing a good review and adding a bonus (which has been where I’ve done OK).
So thanks to Vick I’m trying to up my game and add more value. Early stages so far in terms of creating valuable content.
HOWEVER. The other alternative is to use Vick done for you sales funnels (which I have access to as a pro member). The downside is that everyone else is using them too.
How are those sales funnels performing I hear you ask?
I’ve so far only promoted the 7 Steps to Success funnel with 21 free members and 1 paid ($240.00) (I’ll do a post and show a screenshot later).
So I promote using the content skills I learned from wealthy affiliate and am trying to add a layer of additional ‘value’ as taught by Vick S, and like most things it gets better with practice 🙂
