REVIEW: 12 MINUTE AFFILIATE - DEVON BROWN
Intro
The 12 Minute Affiliate program is a decent system for affiliate marketers who have a bit of experience but are still struggling to make consistent money online. The DFY landing pages and email campaigns are of high quality and will with conversions if you can get targeted traffic. This product works best with paid advertising campaigns and this is what they teach you inside the program.
So What's 12 Minute Affiliate All About?
The Basics of 12 Minute Affiliate are this:
· Step 1: Set up your Opt-In Page or Bridge Page (your info page that leads to the sales page) with just a FEW CLICKS (it's done for you)
· Step 2: Set up your Auto-Responder (Email) Account
· Step 3: Send Traffic to your page!
12 Minute Affiliate is a brilliant system, and reminds me a lot of Anik Singal's Inbox Blueprint which used to sell for $997 or so.
With it, you're getting a program I'd say is comparable to Inbox Blueprint, but at a fraction of the price!
Step 1: Create A Free Affiliate Account (2 Minutes)
The MOST important thing you want to do once logging into 12 Minute Affiliate for the first time is get set up with an affiliate account! This is where you'll find products to promote and earn affiliate commissions from.
In this case, you'll be signing up for Clickbank.com, one of the BEST online market places with a huge variety of niches available!
Don't worry about going crazy getting signed up for other affiliate accounts you may know about, there will be plenty of time for that later. The focus of this training is to promote products already on clickbank, and that's what the software is set up to help you do as well.
Step 2: Get Your Auto-Responder (2 Minutes)
An auto-responder is an online tool that enables you to build your email list and promote your affiliate products on full auto-pilot once it's set up.
12 Minute Affiliate uses Aweber.com, who I also use, and the accounts start at just $19.99 per MONTH for your first 500 subscribers, which should easily earn you at least $500/month by the time you reach that point.
You can also try aweber for FREE for 30 days, so there is zero risk as you also have a 60-day money back guarantee from 12 Minute Affiliate.
Step 3: Set Up Your Auto-Responder (Step-By-Step Instructions)
Okay, this part is actually a REALLY cool feature/benefit of 12 Minute Affiliate - and I mean it. For those of you that HAVE used an auto-responder before, you know that you have to add each email in your series manually.
· Day 1, Send this Email
· Day 2, Send This Email
· Day 3, send THIS email
· Day 4, send THIS email
· Etc, etc...
12 Minute Affiliate Makes this part SUPER easy for you by giving you an IMPORT key/code you can use to add auto-generated emails (with YOUR affiliate links) automatically into your aweber account that were already set up by Devon Brown and the 12 Minute Affiliate Team!
This feature of 12 Minute Affiliate will seriously save you HOURS, I can say that from experience having set up MANY email campaigns from scratch across a vast variety of online and offline niches.
For those who have NOT done this before, it may take you 10-15 minutes - once you understand the process, it should not take more than 5 minutes.
Step 4: Activate Your 12 Minute Affiliate Funnels
The Funnel Pages are SUPER Easy to Set up as well, first you'll want to select from one of the 3 available niches; Online Business, Health, and Personal Development.
Just select your template, make a FEW small customization's, and BOOM - you've got a TON of different and fully-built funnels to play around with, all set up to earn YOU commissions!
(The best part about this is you DON'T need your own website, these are hosted on theirs, included with your account!)
These things look AMAZING, like something you'd set up in Clickfunnels (which is either $97 or $297 per month) - and you don't have to spend a ton of time setting them up either!
(Optional) - Done-For-You Setup (2 Minutes)
As I mentioned before, you have the option for the 12 Minute Affiliate team to set this up entirely for you for a small fee. It's not that expensive, but I recommend you do it yourself as it's pretty easy, and you'll understand better how it works.
Even if you're not tech savvy, watch the video, and at least try it yourself.
You'll have the sense of accomplishment for learning and doing something new! (Go you, pat yourself on the back!)
Step 5: Get Done-For-You Traffic (2 Minutes)
You're going to choose the niche you want the 12 Minute Affiliate team to send traffic to you for, select the # of clicks/visitors, and activate!
Here's the thing you need to understand, Traffic on the internet is one of two things:
1. Paid and Instant
2. Free or Time Consuming
12 Minute Affiliate focuses on paid traffic, as it's honestly easier than learning how to do SEO and other 'free' types of traffic generation.
As Devon mentioned in the 12 Minute Affiliate sales presentation, it's as easy as ordering a pizza.
1. Choose the Type of Traffic you want (niche specific)
2. Choose how many clicks/visitors you want
3. Send Them.
Most good opt-in pages should have a 40-60% opt-in rate - that means if you send 1,000 (real, human) visitors, you should have 400-600 new people on your list.
Once you have them on your list, they'll be drip-fed the auto-responder sequence emails for however many days your particular campaign is. (These emails, of course, drip out promotional content with YOUR clickbank affiliate link!)
If you want to learn SEO or other Free Traffic Methods, understand that they're NOT that easy. You'll need to prepare to spend a lot of time and money learning how to do it, writing or paying for content, and buying or building backlinks.
Any REAL online business requires you to invest a little bit of money, but you can always start small and scale (invest more) as you start to earn a profit.
Good News: If Free Traffic still sounds appealing to you, there IS a free Mini Traffic Course (UN-announced on the sales page) also included with 12 Minute Affiliate!
It goes into traffic methods such as: Press Releases, Video Marketing, Classifieds Marketing, Web 2.0 Pages, Social Media, Answer Sites & More!
Who is behind The 12 minute Affiliate Marketing System?
Devon Brown or @TheDevonBrown (the name he uses in some of his social media accounts) is the creator of 12 Minute Affiliate.
He’s also a lot of other things – an Internet Entrepreneur, Blogger, Success Coach, Speaker, Emcee, and Hip-Hop dancer (just to name a few). I found those descriptions on his social media profile while checking to see if he was a real person.
Needless to say, Devon Brown is in fact a real person. He has a legit social media presence with thousands of followers on Facebook, Instagram etc. He's also a charismatic speaker and entrepreneur – this is a good sign.
Anything Upsells or "OTOs" with 12 Minute Affiliate?
Of course, what program would be complete WITHOUT a few additional offers on the back end? LOL
These are NOT needed to have success with the program, if you focus on getting quality traffic and testing new pages, you should see some new subscribers and sales coming into your accounts.
BUT - for those that are curious, there are a few upsells (that you can purchase anytime)
Upsell #1 - Coaching!
If you want to learn skills like:
· How to use your auto-responder
· How to find even more profitable products to promote
· How to and how to get 3X to 5X more results in just 15 minutes a day
Then your BEST option is to get a human being to hold your hand.
It's just a fact; you'll learn and understand more in a few hours of personalized hand holding, than you will in a several months trying to learn yourself.
They have two coaching options available:
Coaching Option 1 Includes 3 Personalized 1-on-1 Coaching Sessions, lasting about an hour each. The goal of these is to gain the Ability to complete all the basics (like using your auto-responder & finding more affiliate products). I would say this is PERFECT for complete newbies that require more hand-holding.
To be fair - this stuff IS all covered in the training videos, so only get the Coaching 1 Package if you're totally lost or stuck.
Coaching Option 2 is known as their Affiliate Mastery Platinum (AMP) coaching and is a bit more expensive. It includes 1-on-1 coaching (unlimited) for 60 days, and quite a bit more. I'm not going to go into too much details on this one now, but you do need to apply in order to be considered.
I'll be honest, while these are NOT needed, I would recommend you MAYBE consider the coaching #1 bonus if you feel you need additional help.
Upsell #2: Account Upgrade
Basic Membership
Monthly – $47
One-Time – $397
Gold Membership
Monthly – $97
One-Time – $797
With the basic membership, you get the landing pages, products they recommend to promote, and the email templates for only one of the niches (your choice), not all 3.
If you upgrade to the Gold Package, you get all 3 niches: Online Business, Personal Development, And Health/Fitness.
Pros and Cons
Conclusion
This is a very BASIC introduction to affiliate marketing, with E-Mail Marketing being the key to traffic generation and affiliate sales.
You're NOT going to get rich in 2 weeks, or even 2 months doing this, but it's a VERY solid foundation for beginners, and the software will save you a ton of money on things like landing page creators, etc.
As long as you go into the program with that mindset, and know you're probably not going to start making $100 every 12 minutes - you'll do just fine!
My recommendation, pick it up now, but don't just sit on your hands - take the time to study the training, and put it into action.
Devon is one of the good guys, this is definitely NOT a scam, and if you implement what it teaches and don't give up at your first failure, this could very well be the introduction you need to become a full time affiliate marketer.
