“CLICKBANK CODE : How A 39 Year Old Clickbank Affiliate Newbie’s Own Clickbank Experiment Revealed A Secret Formula That Generated $48K In His First 4 Weeks…”
Creator: Michael Jones
Product Description : Affiliate marketing using Clickbank.
Review:
If you’ve bought any other of the many Clickbank “How To’s” some of “module one” will be repetitive, and rightly so. This is aimed at anyone who has no idea about Affiliate Marketing, Clickbank and all the of the many “Terms” that are used.
But, it’s fresh in it’s presentation, and MJ does a very good job at explaining the basics. I’d probably go as far as saying it’s one of the best I’ve come across to date. He’s very “oh by the way, just in case you are not sure what this means….”.{Paraphrased} Which is something I do a lot with my students in my live online classes. And it’s effective in not leaving you “head scratching”.
One objection though and it was one of those - “this is a great thing to do, but I’m not covering that in this course….”. Which is a great opening for a new product/bonuse to fill the gap!
One Huge - “Well done” was the quick “let’s do a campaign and use the spreadsheet to see what happens.” This is not a new thing, as a few other CB “How To’s” also use a spreadsheet system. But again, MJ goes over it in some detail and it’s really important to get into doing something like this when tackling this kind of marketing.. The spreadsheet is supplied as part of the program.
So the 1st 6 Videos in Module 1, might tempt you to start “doing” and get up and running… DON’T. It’s tempting, but there are 5 more Modules. I’m just into the 2nd set and It’s covering Keywords in a whole lot more depth than was shown in the campaign overview.
Rating:
I’ve gone through the complete course and I’d give this an overall rating of 9 / 10.
What is Not Provided: While there is a lot of meat in this course, it is lacking in a lot of the “implementation how to” that is required to achieve the desired results. Which, in all fairness, would be hard to include in such a course. So the warning here is, “There is more to learn and do”.
For what is included in this course, the cost of this is well worth it. There are some Gems in there. But having reviewed other CB How to Courses, I get the feeling that MJ has been a student of theirs in the past. (update: revisiting some of the other products I’ve yet to write a review about, what I heard MJ talking about in the TheCBCode was in fact from one of his other products and NOT any other “CB How To course”….Silly me!)
This course covers as much of the A-Z of “What is required” to be done but not so much on the “How to do it”. Remember, if you are completely new to affiliate marketing, websites etc, you may be left wondering “Yeah, but how do I do that…?” So keep that in mind if you purchase this. I was under the impression that a lot of the “Actual” implementation of websites etc was going to be included. I may have missed that, so I stand to be corrected, but having not found it, I feel a little dissapointed.
To his credit, MJ does note those parts during the course, so he’s not trying to hide the fact that there are things you’ll need to learn outside of the course.
Overall, for the price and what you get, it’s definitely a good deal. But if you are totally new, there might be more of a learning curve than what you are expecting. I’ve not seen to many courses that would give you everything, in this price range and in the amount of time the course goes for. You are not going to learn how to be a brain surgon in 6 hours.
The advice that is given in this course, is good, straight and honest.
I suggest that you go and take a look at the Website and view the sales page and watch the video yourself.

His covering of the spreadsheet gave me a few ideas.
Year of the Affiliate…
How to find products to sell and where to find them…
It is true that The Clickbank Code is more suitable for those having prior knowledge of affiliate marketing.
This course is perfect for advance marketers as they can only benefit from the additional tips and advance tactics discussed.
Many “How To” guides that are being released recently are a let down as they deal with simple introduction to the affiliate marketing business and account setups.
To me, these crappy “How-To” guides which teaches people how to setup accounts provides useless information which anybody will know anyway. The Clickbank Code is different and it addresses the more advance and what really works!
