I'm happy to ditch launchpadaffiliate dot com and start afresh. My "hosting" subscription on "you know where" platform is due for renewal on the 24th.
I'd love to take you up on your offer, Partha.
@paule Hiya Paul,
oooohhhhhh, my intention has never been for people to leave or stop using "said platform", there's still a lot a good people there and a lot to learn from the platform.
Plus, what I've mentioned above is actually how people like myself, Kyle, Jay, and Vitaliy actually learned affiliate marketing (I did it the "dodgy" way with backlinks to manipulate my rankings, the other three did it the "sincere" way <---- I bet I was ranking better and making more money than those 3 back then, simply for being a bit "dodgy" hahahahahhaha!!!
Plus, the above is actually how I would teach affiliate marketing (see my reply to Pete above), learn the "easier" way as described above, gain some confidence, earn some money, and then with your newfound skills and a bit of money in your pocket NOW you're ready to create your first website.
For me, always aim to increase someone's confidence straight away, let them see that things work, within a few weeks, then they are ready to finally "create their own business".
If you want a "paid consultation", the price is still just $27, but we can discuss whatever you want, and I can give you a plan to move forward, whether it's to work on the method I've spoken about above, or even if you want to discuss something completely different about online marketing.
My time is COMPLETELY YOURS.
Just send me a private message if you want a private consultation and we'll get it all set up asap (it would be good to speak before your membership ends and I can also have a look over your website and give you feedback and a way to move forward on that IF you still want to keep it)
@partha That all makes a lot of sense. I’ll be in touch. Thank you for your timely response. I do appreciate your time.
Alright Sir.
Sure thing
I'm all set and excited to get started with this. Count me in If I can make some money and grow from there, I'm totally on board. Please kindly let me know how to get started.
@mikerrsq Hey Mike,
No worries, if you want a "paid consultation" (only $27) just send me a Private message.
Then we will set a time, we will chat for around 60-90 minutes, I'll ask you lots of questions, get an idea of where I think your skillset is and where you may do well, then I'll go off, write up a short plan for you, and then obviously you can ask me to check things as you go along.
Just send me a PM here and we can get started whenever you want! 
Hello Sir,
I'm here reaching out and eager to get started on this and see if it can help me generate some money and eventually scale up.
Could you please provide me with details on what I need to do? help me get started would be greatly appreciated.
let me know what I need to do to make the money I'm broke right now.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

I've been looking for some other reviews of a product to feed AI with and the Google SERP for the query:[product] review is interesting.
- Video Carousel
- Amazon
- Amazon
- YouTube
- Google Groups
- LinkedIn
- YouTube
- Webflow.io subdomain
- Google Groups
The Google Groups listings stood out for me and they seem to be on random groups totally unrelated to the product. Maybe something worth looking at for parasite SEO?
The LinkedIn review is great. Starts off like this: "In the ever-evolving landscape of [niche], [product] emerges as a groundbreaking solution"
Lol ...
Parasite SEO = take advantage of web 2.0 properties to rank your content in Google
Web 2.0 properties = ANY website that allows its users to generate their own content on their website
Video carousel, i.e. YouTube = web 2.0 property
Amazon = leave reviews and ratings = web 2.0 property
Google Groups = web 2.0 property
Linkedin = web 2.0 property
Webflow.io = web 2.0 property
Are you NOW starting to understand the power of web 2.0 properties and parasite SEO?
Basically, we have gone about 12-15 years back into the past (yaaaay!!!! Outdated training works again!!! hahahahaha!!!)
The Google groups and Microsoft community forums are smashing rankings in Google (Google the keyword - Liv Pure Review - ranking number two a "Microsoft feedback portal" with one of the worst keyword-stuffed, spammy reviews you've ever read, but it's ranking.
Plus, I believe Liv Pure is about $114 commission for their "most popular" product,and it received around 300 monthly visitors just for the keyword "Live Pure Review" so you can guarantee that the Microsoft debacle is probably getting at least 2-3 sales per month... nearly $350 per month for a spammy article and paid about $50 for backlinks!!!
Plus, look at the rest of the Google page for that keyword... web 2.0 property, web 2.0 property, web 2.0 property.
IT WORKS!!!! ... For Now!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I reckon a minimum of a year, perhaps even 2 years, get in while the going's good!!!)

"
Just as an aside, I’m almost 100% certain that NO-ONE who has joined a “certain platform” since 1st January 2020 is earning a full-time income.
Think about that for a minute.
That is nearly 4.5 years and NOT ONE PERSON in that time (who came into this industry “new”) is earning a full-time income from what they’re being taught."
==> Still need to read the rest, but already wanted to reply: that's a definite NO from me! (I mean, not a big income at all, mostly enough to pay for the platform subscription, a few plugins, or some work done by others )
Although in the first 6 months, I needed to learn EVERYTHING, from building a website to keywords, to even know how to write in English and learn how to pick a topic that my niche would be even interested in, I was doing 'whatever' I felt like writing about. It's only about in the last year I think, that I am more focussed on what people are actually looking for. (and that I check out the competition to see which keywords they rank for, and 10 times out of 10 IT IS NOT A KEYWORD that shows up in 'JAAXY', not at all!
That being said, I THOUGHT I was going for a basic income, I think back in 2022, because I was growing and growing nicely back then. So at THAT moment, I really thought I was doing well, but then yeah, we know the story after that lol.
Okay, up to read the rest somewhere today, back to work haha!

@ohnoo_not_her You look at you slightly differently Lizzy.
Firstly, you had more hurdles than many to overcome initially, e.g. English as a second language and actually even having to learn to write English (Simone aka Mechidor, had to exactly the same thing for you her first year or two at WA, in fact, she used the training to help her learn English).
To me, that takes far more skill than actually having to learn affiliate marketing, so you, and people like Simone, will ALWAYS have my UTMOST RESPECT.
The other thing with you is you did get to a level of decent traffic and income was starting to build, but then you had your first-ever experience of a Google Update (and now you've had plenty more experience with them, hahahahaha!!)
But, the one thing I will say about you that is fantastic is over the last year you knowledge has increased significantly, I can see that for myself, plus, you didn;t allow the Google updates to "break you", in fact, you did what everyone should do, you worked harder (even though your mind tells you to not bother and you feel completely and utterly deflated from these Google updates).
And for this, as I say, I look at you differently from many, you have the potential and the work ethic to turn this all around!

Oh my gosh, I'm flattered haha! So sweet! Yes, you ARE hahahaha! Not so 'lairy' as you think loooool!
About the English thing, so true, I have been having trouble now translating in my own Dutch language, it is taking more time than I thought hahahaha! English is so much more poëtic than Dutch, one can have long sentences in English and then in Dutch it is just a few words hahaha!
'work ethic", my husband called that 'stubborn' hahahahaha! The latest March update he looked at me when I explained what was happening, and asked: so, do you think that maybe it is time to... I interrupted him: no! Because this and that I can still do, and this and this, and my Youtube has risen to 50 bucks each month, and... hahaha.. He was like 'ok then' lol!
Are you NOW starting to understand the power of web 2.0 properties and parasite SEO?
Yep! You don't need to tell me twice 🤣 I've just set up my new Medium account and posted a fairly generic article (love the 700 word GPT prompt @andy 😉 ) ... I want to try to make it at least look a little bit legit ... although I'll expect you to say don't bother ... lol.
How many articles/reviews do you think I should post before the link blast is applied?
Basically, we have gone about 12-15 years back into the past (yaaaay!!!! Outdated training works again!!! hahahahaha!!!)
Google really do seem to be flailing around with no idea how to deal with all this AI content.
With your help Partha, I plan to fully take advantage ... I want to leave my 9-5 so bad. My manager is getting more oppressive by the day, no matter how much I get done 🤬
Right ... more reviews!
@rohanm Well done for getting started.
Okay, with newer accounts it can take a while (and a few articles) to start "popping" (which is why a lot of blackhatters are simply purchasing aged Reddit, Medium, and Linkedin accounts).
So, get a few more going first of all.
Plus, the "parasite SEO" reviews are best written as
Product Name Review
OR
Best XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX
Here's some examples of some keywords that have done well with parasite SEO during 2024 (although everyone's "fighting" in the SERPs through backlink blasts, hahaaha!!! I'm raking number one today, so you blast 300 backlinks and take over my rankings, so the next day I blast 400 backlinks and take over you rankings, the next day you return the favour, and so on), so DON'T get involved in these competitive "fights"
Anyway, some keywords that WERE doing well over the last 4.5 months (look for better variations of these keywords if you want)
Best Handgun
Best Music Production Software (what I told you about yesterday, Old Fluff!!!)
Best Way to Learn Spanish For Beginners
Best QR Code Generators
Best Websites to Sell Feet Pics
Best US Code Themes
Best Mushroom Coffee
Best Monitor For Mac Pro
Firstly, can you see how DIFFERENT the types of products that are being promoted via affiliate marketing.
Literally everyone comes into this business and choosing a niche (usually BROAD) within Make Money Online, Weight Loss, Healthy and Beauty, or Mental Health/Personal Development.
Can you see how this is NOT what savvy marketers are targetting?
Next, and this is something I'd cover in more detail in a "consultation", but if you don't have any morals (hahahahahahah!!! nah, it's not that bad, I'm only joking, LOL), go to Clickbank, and go through their "Best Sellers", mainly pills and potions for various ailments/improvements.
Now, these would be seen as YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) products, so you'd struggle to get a website ranking on these topics with simple SEO, low domain authority, and very few backlinks.
BUT
Parasite SEO is "killing it" for these products.
Other Clickbank or similar offers to look at are "learning instruments online" and "learning languages online".
Once more, the "blackhat" way is to find a decent keyword that has web 2.0 properties ranking in the top 10 results, rewrite one of their reviews, post to a high DA parasite, e.g. Medium or Linkedin, then blast with backlinks.
As for you should personally do Rohan, I would say get 5 reviews written first (if you're using Medium, all good, as this does work on Linkedin, but Linkedin seems to be taking about one month to index anything, although indexing can be manipulated with "mass indexers" and backlinks).
When you've got the first 5 reviews written, come back to me, I'll have a look, and then between us we'll choose one for a backlink blast.
I'm still experimenting with different types of backlinks, so as an example the cheapest package is $15, but I have 3 different options:
1) Dirty blast - Blast to 3,000 web 2.0 properties, no report either, as it's done via software automation. Basically, a lot of the lower DA web 2.0 property profile bios or articles won't get indexed, so you're going for big numbers here in the hop that a decent percentage (30-50%) will get indexed.
2) Normal web 2.0 blast - blast to 300 web 2.0 properties over DA70, placed through multiple indexers so you should get 95% of these indexed, full report provided.
3) Mixed Pyramid Backlinks - this is approximately 20 web 2.0 properties, then 100 social media backlinks built to the web 2.0 properties, then RSS syndication for the social media backlinks, and then mass indexing for everything (the higher payment structures of this also offers .edu .gov and wiki links)
I've tested all on various platforms, and various size of links.
If I'm completely honest, the success rate is 68% in getting an article to top 3!
So, this does also mean that there is a 32% "failure rate" (but I guess I could keep blasting with backlinks until they rank, but at a guess, no-one wants to spend $200 on backlinks to rank one article... well, unless that article earns you 10x that amount for ranking at number one).
So, I would say write 5 reviews, come back to me, we'll pick one article, and probably give it a blast with number 1 or number 2.
Write 5 more articles, we'll pick one, do the same again.
Then write 5 more articles, and then we review ALL the previous 10 (especially the two with "blasts") and see how things are going from there.
This is what I woiuld do!!!
