Affiliate Challenge – The Live Charity Experiment: Banner Ad Blueprint Review

Affiliate Challenge – The Live Charity Experiment: Banner Ad Blueprint Review

A few weeks back I issued an online challenge to all the Super Affiliate Gurus. You know the ones who continually push and promote products such as: ClickBank Pirate, ZFM, Affiliate X, The Affiliate Code, Lazy Cash etc. These people, Saj P, Philip Mansour, Alex Goad, Soren & Cindy, Ewen Chia, Michael Jones, et al, bombard us all each and every day with the latest twist on how to give up the day job and become and internet millionaire, simply by promoting their product for them.

My Hub article Internet Challenge For Marketing Gurus expanded on this theme and issued a challenge to all of them to carry out an online demonstration with me to ‘prove’ that their products actually deliver. I posted this challenge right across the internet, even on their own twitter accounts.

Guess what?

Yep! You’ve got that one right. NOT ONE OF THEM RESPONDED.

In my challenge I offered to donate the entire proceeds – 100% – to charity. Well, they didn’t take up the challenge so I can only assume they were running a bit scared. In which case, I will do it for them.

Tonight I am going to buy into the latest product from Saj P and Philip Mansour, called Banner Ad Blueprint and every day, I am going to keep a diary, in this Hub Page, on how it is going.

And I am going to keep to my word. If I make any money from the first campaign I set up then I will donate it to charity.

What I want you to do is keep coming back to this Hub every day and spread it around as much as you can, to as many people as possible because, either way, this one is going to be a winner.

Either I will demonstrate, with my online experiment and by following the program step by step, that these things are scams and only work for one set of people, the designers of the program, who benefit from the affiliate links in the ‘0’s worth of free bonus products’ that they give away, plus the fees YOU pay, that you cannot be bothered to cancel.

OR

These programs actually work. In which case, a charity is going to benefit.

By the way, this is going to cost me, because the purchase fee is and then there are ongoing costs for the bits and pieces I will have to buy along the way, as reccomended by the program. So I am going to be out of pocket over this.

As the program develops, I will provide a screenshot of whatever financial account I have with whatever affiliate program I have to join (I will have to figure out how to do that and display it in here!)

So . . . . Gentlemen, Start Your Engines And Let The Challenge Begin!

Banner Ad Blueprint (BAB) Review – Day 1

Ok. I have purchased my subscription to Banner Ad Blueprint (BAB). It cost me 4 as I also bought the ad-on that virtually guarantees success by having ‘Saj P’ right there so I can ‘look over his shoulder’ and copy what he does.

Sounds foolproof, doesn’t it?.

Oh and I also watched a ‘leaked video’ ??? How on earth, when it is your own product, can your own video be leaked??

It is all just like ZFM, which I tried last year and which was a miserable failure. The language and the techniques are basically the same, except for the fact that, instead of promoting PPC, he is promoting banner ads.

Funny thing . . I bought ZFM around September, when he was saying that PPC was THE Big Thing and yet, all his promo stuff for Banner Ad Blueprint says to stay away from PPC, as it is dead and . . . here somes the crunch . . . his screenshots of his Banner Ad account were taken in August, which is at the same time as he was saying that PPC was King!

So, how come he was promoting an out of date as a hot thing, with a + monthly subscription when, at the same time, he was preparing his next product saying, effectively, that the techniques he was selling were a waste of time??

Also, have you ever noticed, with Saj P, Philip Mansour and all the others, that the account detail for their campaigns which they show are usually about 6 months out of date?

I think they milk something and then, once it is past its sell by date, sell it on for plus to per month as a special member subscription.

Anyway, it is midnight and time for bed. So, I have made my purchase and in the morning I will be ready to start the course and give you my first daily diary report.

Diary Day 2

Well, I started working my way through Banner Ad Blueprint this morning. It is now 10pm in my part of the universe and I have spent a few hours today working my way through the material from Saj P.

So far I have watched 4 modules. Each module consists of an average of 5 videos and each one varies in length from about 2 minutes to 20 minutes, so that is about 20 mini video presentations.

Up to this point it has been a re-run of ZFM. Nothing new, except that this time he is plugging banner ads as the way to make big bucks.

I have to say, I have almost had enough of “Hey! What’s up” as the intro to each video.

It has all been theory stuff related to CPA, CPM and PPC with the usual promo for COPEAC, Neverblue, CJ and other CPA networks. This time, however Saj has added a couple of new things which, it must be said, are useful. One is asseenontv.com and the other is Market Samurai, a keyword tool.

I haven’t obviously got to the ‘meat’ of it all yet, where he reveals how to actually make money. But let’s just keep in mind his sales pitch for this, which is copied below:

Here’s what all that means to you-

You could literally make money with this stuff within the hour…

Literally … within an HOUR…

I’m not kidding, and I’m not exaggerating.

I’ll show you where to find hot stuff to promote – and I mean stuff that converts – I’ll show you how to get hordes of hungry traffic to it, and I’ll show you how to do that over and over.

Seriously, you could watch just a couple of these videos, and be making money immediately.

And that’s what this is about right?

Well . . . . there is NOTHING in the first 4 videos that would lead anyone to be making money “within the hour” or “immediately”

In fact, there has not been one direct piece of information that would lead anyone to make money. He doesn’t reccoment CPC or CPM, he just says “You will have to decide for yourself” and he doesn’t reccommend direct linking or landing pages, again saying “You will have to decide”.

It is all (so far) just regurgitated theory which is 6 months old and which is available in a dozen different places.

This all sounds negative on my part, I know. But I WANT it to succeed simply because I would love to make the 0 000 in one month that he says his system has made because it would be brilliant to give a charity that sort of money.

But just ask yourself. If he were REALLY making that sort of money, why would he waste his time selling BAB?? Would YOU?

Of course not!! 0 000 each month is 560 000 per annum, so you would just keep replicating that and make even more.

Still, I am going to start with the next module now in the hope that it actually tells me how to do something that will make money, rather than a load more theory about CPA, CPC, CPM, landing pages, banner ads, google, weight loss and white teeth!!
