These students make $12,704,367 a year.
It's a bold statement, I know.
Affiliate Classroom 2.0 from Anik Singal and his team at Lurn is generating a lot of buzz this week – and I think that for the 70% of you reading this that don't have your own online business:
You're going to want to check this out.
Anik's company, Lurn, has already trained over 51,000 people (just like you) to become successful affiliate marketers so they can escape the 9 to 5 rat-race and join the internet elite.
Affiliate Classroom 2.0 was built from the ground up to have everything you could need, and not JUST world-class training.
We're talking about specialized, exclusive affiliate tools that took hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop – and they're included.
Training is one thing – but training will never MAKE you take action. Tools are what get the job done.
PROOF: Ask any person who says they are an online marketer what the most valuable thing in IM is, as far as money in the bank.
9 times out of 10 if they name a course, they are probably not a super affiliate. If they name a TOOL – you know they are hands-on, and believe me, they are getting PAID.]
Now here's the part I like the MOST:
You can try out the course for $1 and you get this arsenal of affiliate power-tools completely at your disposal:
1. Little Tracked Link
2. Site Rank
3. Traffic Tracker
4. Google Match Type Tool
5. Key Phrase Multiplier
6. Long Tail Keyword Generator
7. AdWords Ad Writing Tool
8. Typo Generator
9. Geo Keyword Generator
10. PPC ROI Calculator
11. Keyword List Cleaner
12. Datalocker
If you're a successful affiliate, just the names of those tools should have you drooling. If those titles are full of "jargon" to you, don't worry, because all the training and information you need is included.
For just a buck, even if you're already trained as an affiliate marketer, you can't get your hands on tools like these for HUNDREDS of dollars elsewhere, much less $1 right now.
Get these tools and start making money right away.
Here's a stat Anik shared with me: Over 50% of Affiliate Classroom students reported a 23% increase in business.
I believe it, because this program is designed to help you get up and running as fast – and as easily – as possible. Every detail is calculated and nothing is left to chance.
If you're trying this stuff out and you're not sure if you're doing it right – if you're working at it and not making any money…
Stop struggling and check it out. This might be the $1 that changes your life.

P.S. The cost is only $1 for you to try and they'll give you complete access to over $180-a-month's worth of tools for you to utilize. Seems at least worth a visit if you're reading this and aren't making any money online yet.
If you've ever been "rejected" by any affiliate network or CPA network, you know what I'm talking about. It sucks.
You're looking for GOOD offers to promote, either to add-on to your back end, or to increase your core affiliate business.
Because the affiliates that get the best offers make the most money, period.
Here's the link, go check it out
Here's the back story . . .
Mike Filsaime and Joe Holland have been hard at work for over six months to create "The Ultimate Affiliate System."
And what a great idea — it's basically a CPA network for the "little guy" or anyone who wants to be a Super Affiliate but isn't – yet.
I know you've heard stories about some Super Affiliates who make 6-figure PROFITS per DAY.
And the stories are true — BUT . . . they've been doing it all with CPA (Cost Per Action) networks where companies pay affiliates for getting people to take ACTION. And it's usually really simple — just filling out a form. Visitors don't even have to buy anything, and you get paid.
But until now, it's been pretty difficult (for beginners, it's almost impossible) to get into ANY of the CPA networks unless you already had a massive amount of traffic at your command.
Basically, it was an insider's club, and they kept it that way.
Good for them; bad for you.
But now, Mike's AffiliateJump changes all that.
If you want to hear him explain it, just go here.
Since there's no sale to make, you don't have to be a killer copywriter or use fancy marketing tactics.
It's an AMAZING model. This is the fastest growing and most profitable way to make money online right now for affiliates.
And TODAY is when AffiliateJump starts accepting affiliates into the program. So if you want to see what this is all about, or if you've tried getting into CPA and have been shut out by the big boys, now it's your turn.
Talk soon,

P.S. If you missed my short video interview I recorded with Mike Filsaime last weekend, you can see it here.
But the main link you need is this.
Today's "Cheat Sheet" is all about affiliate marketing. To me, affiliate marketing is probably the most significant breakthrough in ALL of internet marketing's history.
The affiliate game is one of the oldest in town, and has allowed COUNTLESS people to get their start and even make their entire fortunes.
This week, we have a 3 part series where we're going to
literally go "under the hood" of some of the most potent
marketing techniques you can use in your business right now.
I want to show you how to really dig deeply into the problems
we face as internet marketers, and share how some talented and
successful people are solving those problems and creating great
products along the way.
But first, I want to "tease" you a little and let you know that
next week, we're going to be re-releasing a new and improved
version of our Stomper Scrutinizer website visualization
software. The code is leaner, meaner, faster, and BETTER! If
you missed our first release during the holidays at the end of
last year, you're going to get your chance in just a few days –
so keep your eyes peeled RIGHT HERE! (It's f'ree – DUH!)
Now, back to the topic at hand.
One of the primary problems we face when just starting out and
trying to build an online business is that it takes SO many
seemingly separate disciplines, and SO much study and
application… How many of us become paralyzed by this
overwhelming mass of STUFF we need to know to just get STARTED
already?!
Judging from the frustrations our members voice inside
StomperNet - a LOT of people struggle at this stage.
What we teach in StomperNet is how you need to take things like
traffic generation and conversion and teach your BUSINESS to be
good at those things. This frees us up as business owners to
really focus on building and growing the BUSINESS and ALSO
frees us to enjoy the fruits of our labors.
But when you're first starting out, it can be a struggle,
because there's no one there BUT you. You have NO employees to
delegate to, you have NO funds to outsource your tasks.
So how do you step it up? How do you start to make headway in
the day-to-day busy work required so you can actually get AHEAD?
It's a frustrating question, but it's got a really easy answer.
It's only one word. Automation.
And when you're an army of one working out of your basement
office, the one way you can use automation without any kind of
staff is to use SOFTWARE to automate the tasks that are eating
up your valuable time.
This isn't as daunting as it sounds. Software is already
making our lives easier and more efficient every single day.
Do you set up "rules" in your email client to sort your
emails? That's automation in action.Do you have a phone number that rings through to voicemail if
you're busy? That's automation too.
See, we all use technology to automate and streamline our
lives. It's so pervasive and ingrained in our culture,
sometimes we never even stop to think about all the little
"shortcuts" we use to make our lives run smoother.
Before the advent of the modern computer age, you would have
had to be a well-off big-shot to have that stuff done, because
you would have had to hire an assistant to sort your mail and
take your calls. Now, it's all done automatically by machine.
What I'm proposing to you is that if you're just starting your
online business, you need to take that same kind of thinking
and apply it to your WORK.
What software is out there to make you WORK easier, faster, and
automatic? How much time could you save yourself if things
like SEO, link building, site building, etc. were all automated.
How much MORE money could you be making online if you could
drastically shrink the amount of time between having a
profitable idea and actually executing the steps it takes to
put it into action?
So now that we've defined a common problem all of us face at
one time or another, let's take a crack at defining a solution.
You want your motto to be "figure something out ONCE and then
never do it yourself again if you don't have to." Let the
computers do what they are good at, so you can focus on what
YOU are good at.
And that's how a LOT of us started out.
But here's something you may not have thought of. When you
AUTOMATE, you also INNOVATE.
When you take a process or procedure and turn into a "system"
that you can execute automatically with software or an
employee, you've CREATED something of value that didn't exist
before.
There are very specific problems and roadblocks that we've all
faced when building our online income. It doesn't take any
kind of genius to realize that these are going to be common
problems to everyone trying to do what we do.
Right?
This is a great example of a fundamental principle of
StomperNet.
If you find a seemingly unsolvable problem and you create a
solution – a tested, repeatable solution – there is REAL VALUE
in that solution.
Not just in the fact that it solves YOUR problem, but in the
fact that it will solve the SAME problem for others. People
don't buy STUFF. They buy SOLUTIONS and BENEFITS.
That's how you make your KNOWLEDGE profitable. Like Faculty
Dave Taylor said at the last StomperNet event – someone asked
what his biggest lesson was in making money online, and he said
"learning to sell my knowledge and not my time".
However, it takes a special kind of mindset to be able to step
outside of yourself and take what YOU'VE learned and turn it
into a product designed to help OTHER people overcome the same
problems.
And we arrive at that mindset through AUTOMATION of repetitive
tasks. That's how you can do what Dave was talking about and
KEEP your time, and sell your KNOWLEDGE instead.
If you want to see some examples of this, look no further than
your inbox. If you've been doing online marketing for any
amount of time, you're probably on several mailing lists.
You DON'T need to un-subscribe from every marketing list you're
on like some people are saying. If you're busy, you can always
IGNORE the flood of emails you might be getting, …but save
them.
It's true that sometimes we can get overwhelmed with all those
kinds of promotions. But the truth is, they're more than just
promotions. They're LESSONS - all you need to do is think of
them that way.
When you need some inspiration, or you want some insight into
how this stuff is done at the HIGHEST level, check out these
offers with a CRITICAL eye.
What problem have they identified? What solution have they
developed? How have they packaged it? How are they promoting
it?
I would say that 99% of the time, when you look at the CORE of
what's being sold, it's going to be someone selling you their
knowledge, or a way to automate the application of their
knowledge.
Everything in this business can be a learning experience if you
approach it the right way - that's what this week's series is
all about.
And that's why I like Jeff Johnson's material as an example of
what I've been talking about.
Jeff's known as an SEO guy to some, as an Affiliate Marketing
guy to others. But what ol' J.J. is REALLY good at in my mind
is the kind of automation we talked about.
He's figured out plenty of stuff that works for his OWN
businesses as far as getting traffic and converting it – he's
acquired VALUABLE knowledge and experience. He's done this
stuff, he's hit the roadblocks we have, too.
But what Jeff is particularly good at is taking that knowledge
of complicated procedures and breaking them down in to tiny
repeatable steps.
Then, rather than doing those steps over and over himself, or
hiring someone to mindlessly push buttons, he designs and
creates software to do the work.
He's developed WORKING solutions. They work so well, and so
automatically, that he's freed up to turn his PERSONAL
solutions into a thriving software and coaching business.
But remember, it's real experience that he's passing on.
He's taken KNOWLEDGE and AUTOMATION and added real value to his
businesses. But he's also clever enough to see that there's
value in the knowledge and automation themselves.
You've probably seen several emails about this by now.
Currently, Jeff's promoting the launch of his Underground
Training Lab membership site. (It opened earlier today.)
Even if you're not interested in purchasing Jeff's stuff at
this point, I'm trying to show you that there's ALWAYS value in
seeing what other recognized, successful marketers are up to.
If you're a small operator, or even a lone operator, you might
be interested to learn how to think like Jeff and automate site
building, link building, and marketing. That's what he teaches.
He's offering some of his top-notch automation software for
f'ree as WELL as some deluxe pricey versions of his software as
bonuses for those who sign up to try his program.
Go check out the Underground Training Lab for yourself and see
if there isn't a thing or two (or seven) that you can learn
from Jeff. It doesn't matter if it's directly, by joining his
program, or indirectly, simply by studying his marketing as an
observer.
More to come this week! Coming up tomorrow, e-commerce and the
recession - how we have an ADVANTAGE over brick and mortar in
tough economic times.
Until next time, keep Stomping!

Hey guys,
Back again with the follow up to the Video and Social Marketing case study we presented earlier this week. (If you missed it, you can catch the blog post here).
If you remember, I showed you how Jeff Johnson did a demonstration of just one of his "Get More Traffic" blueprints at a LIVE conference.
By following the 6 steps he outlined, he got 6 of the Top 10 Google listings for his keyword. Here's the evil part…
He says it took 15 minutes of work, and less than 24 hours of waiting to get those results!
I know what you're thinking, you're probably calling "Baloney!" and I have to say I was thinking the same thing, but I DID see it – so go figure.
Hey Guys
While we've been busy here at StomperHQ rolling out SMARTS for our members, we wanted to make sure and keep you in the loop when we come across any killer USABLE strategies we can tell you about.
You've seen our videos, and I think we've clearly demonstrated how using video and social marketing together can be a deadly 1-2 combination. Here's something you might NOT know.
What if I told you that by combining the power of video and social marketing in a measured, repeatable way, you could get MULTIPLE listings on the Search Engines for your content?
Now, I'm NOT talking about the indented listings we covered in the Going Natural 2.0 series. This is a method to get your content onto multiple sites, and get them all ranked for your keywords – securing 2, 4, 6 – And Yeah, even all 10 listings on the front page of the SERPs (just like we did for the phrase "Going Natural 2.0″)!
Let me walk you through a case study on this method, and then I'm going to give you the full, step-by-step rundown on how to do this yourself, so get comfy, maybe get yourself a cup of tea (if that's your thing). Kick off your shoes, and let's get started.
Back in November of last year, Jeff Johnson was holding a workshop for his GetMoreTraffic course, and he wanted to demonstrate the POWER that video and social marketing can have, so he did a LIVE challenge for all the attendees.
Here's what they did:
1. Jeff picked out a product to promote. In this case, he chose the Casio ex-z1080 digital camera. Jeff already has a digital camera review blog, so this was the perfect choice for this demo – but trust me – this will work for anything.
2. Jeff had his assistant show a quick video of Jeff, right at the workshop, using the digital camera he was promoting. Nothing fancy, just a quick one take review on the camera, why it was cool, and where to find his blog for more info.
3. Jeff's assistant used a mass video uploader to put the video on YouTube and 10 other video sites. You can do this manually for free, but we recommend a paid service like HeySpread or Traffic Geyser – it will save you a LOT of time and effort.
4. He posted the YouTube video directly to his camera review blog.
5. He took the blog post URL and submitted it to between 10 and 20 different Social Bookmarking sites using the free tool at SocialMarker.
6. Here's where the "magic" happens, okay? He then took the actual video pages themselves (YouTube, MySpace, etc.) and bookmarked THOSE pages as well, again using the SocialMarker tool. Just like before, he picked between 10-20 of the sites available on that service and bookmarked each video page.
7. That's it! Not even 7 whole steps!
So what were the results of this experiment? Care to guess?
Within 24 hours of completing the project, Jeff got 6 of the top 10 spots in Google for his target phrase "Casio ex-z1080 10.1 mp digital camera"! That's a PERFECT long-tail phrase that will pull in comparison shoppers and buyers, and he's DOMINATING the search results. He's set himself up as the AUTHORITY on that camera, and he's engaging his visitors with a dynamic video review.
This IS Internet Marketing 2.0.
6 Simple Steps – and within HOURS – 6 of the top 10 listings on Google. Just… Wow.
Now, here's what's important to note. If you go and check out that search term now, you'll see that the video pages from YouTube and GoFish are STILL RANKING on the first page with 3 results. Jeff hasn't touched those pages since the video was uploaded in November.
The blog posts and the blog post listings on the social bookmarking sites have all fallen out of the Top 10 by now though. This is why step 6 is so important. Use video WHENEVER possible, and bookmark the video pages on the video sites themselves in addition to your own blog post. That's the "magic" key to this strategy.
If you want to continue to dominate the SERPS for your niche terms, simply keep adding new videos, and keep bookmarking them as above. The new ones will "replace" the old ones as they drop out of the SERPS and you'll have an easy time of maintaining your search engine real estate.
Jeff's assistant did this ENTIRE project in 15 minutes, INCLUDING shooting the video! 15 minutes of work – 6 top 10 listings for the SAME TERM. It boggles the mind.
Now, like we said before, Jeff did this demo as part of a live workshop for his GetMoreTraffic Blueprint course, which we told you about last year. Of course, when we heard about Jeff's live demo of this technique, we had to get his permission to tell you about it. We're all about video, and with SMARTS going on, we're all about social marketing. This is the exact kind of stuff we used for the SMARTS launch, and this is the kind of stuff we've been teaching our members how to do as well.
Jeff knows his stuff, or else I wouldn't share his techniques with you. Now, Jeff specializes mostly in actual coaching when he teaches this stuff, but unfortunately, his programs are currently all full and he's not taking on any more students at this time.
However, Jeff currently has a package available that is essentially 3 years of his coaching, all packaged together in a home-study course and membership site. If you didn't have the opportunity to participate in SMARTS with us, or if you want MULTIPLE traffic strategies (not just Social Marketing) then there's probably no better resource available right now. It's only available until next Tuesday (2-19-08) but you can give it a test drive F'ree for 30 days.
Check out the "Best of Jeff Johnson's Coaching" here.
Even if you don't want to get more of Jeff's "blueprints" like the one above, you're still going to want to keep your eyes peeled right here.
See, Jeff's a good friend and we talk a lot about new strategies and tactics all the time. When I told him I was going to be telling you about one of his "blueprints" from his closed-door coaching sessions, he agreed to sit down with me and give me some ADVANCED tips for this strategy to ensure HIGHER rankings that last LONGER.
However, I think I've already given you plenty to work with for now, and I want to save up those strategies for our next newsletter.
Don't worry though, we'll have that out to you LATER THIS WEEK! Do yourself and your business a favor and put this technique to work now. You have 15 minutes to try it don't you?
See you again in a few days!
~AJ
P.S. If you try this out and have some success, or even if you just like the technique, please leave a comment here on the blog and let us know! Talk again soon!
P.P.S. And again, if you want more great strategies from Jeff, you can't beat this "Best of Jeff Johnson's Coaching" package. The only other people who have ALL this content from Jeff had to collect it over the past 3 years. You can get it all at once, and take it all in at your own pace.
