I am committed to doing the best I can to equip new internet/affiliate marketers the best I can without charging anything. There are enough people charging for products, tools, and services in this industry. So I always do my best to give away my content and lessons for free in order to ensure I’m doing the best I can to help you succeed in this industry. Below you’ll find a list of several resources that should help you get an honest and fair start in your affiliate marketing business, free-of-charge.
No More Bull%#$! – My Free eBook
One of the most common and easily fixed issues in internet/affiliate marketing is the expectations you have going into it. VERY few people are honest about what it takes to succeed in this industry, and as a result most people don’t understand what it really takes to succeed in affiliate marketing. I tell you very bluntly and honestly what it will take, and I give you step-by-step instructions on the best way to approach this industry in this free eBook.
SIMPLE7: Niche Marketing Email Course
This particular email course took me weeks to get straight. SIMPLE7 is a free niche marketing course I created that takes you through the exact 7 steps I go through when launching a new website. I teach everything from niche research to building a website, email marketing to conversion optimization, traffic generation to testing and tracking. There is A LOT of information in this course and, like everything I do, it’s 100% free.
Wealthy Affiliate’s Free Membership
Wealthy Affiliate is an internet marketing program that offers two membership levels: free and paid. Both are excellent, but you’ll be blown away by how much information you receive for free when you create a “starter” account. It doesn’t require any payment information so you don’t have to worry about getting billed for something you didn’t want to buy somewhere down the road. I’ve done a full, comprehensive Wealthy Affiliate review and I would recommend looking it over if you’re thinking about checking out their huge library of affiliate marketing lessons and awesome community.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Maybe what you’re looking for at this stage is just a little less advanced. Affiliate marketing is a very complex concept and there aren’t a lot of good, concise explanations online. I wrote a very good explanation and had this video professionally produced so you had a good visual representation of everything I’m explaining, and it takes less than a minute and a half of your day.
Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn
I can’t take credit for this free affiliate marketing resource, and I have no affiliation with Pat. I’d be surprised if he even knows who I am. But he has done a great service putting together articles, lessons, and resources that are incredibly helpful for new internet marketers. Long story short, he got into affiliate marketing by accident while studying for a big architecture test, got laid off not long after passing that test, and found that the blog he originally created to help him study for the test was getting a massive amount of traffic. He developed his own product and began marketing it, and so began the story of Pat Flynn and Smart Passive Income – one of the best resources in the affiliate marketing industry.
I would like a copy of your ebook but it states I’m already subscribed???? Plus I used to be a member of DSD and I, too, always had a funny feeling that something wasn’t right. As far as getting help, it just wasn’t there, not for me at least. I couldn’t master the copy and paste image part, couldn’t find anyone to help me, tried to find out from different websites and finally gave up as I simply couldn’t get an answer on this.
I’m extremely surprised to find out about all these changes……
Hey Corrinne! Yes – I show that you signed up for my eBook and that it was sent on December 5, 2014 at 1:27p EST. It might be buried in your inbox or junk email folder somewhere. I’d email you a copy manually but my mail servers are acting up right now and no mail is getting out. As soon as that’s resolved, I’ll do my best to remember to send you a copy manually. If you haven’t heard from me within a couple of days, feel free to email me at ian@nomorebsreviews.com as a little “nudge” to remember to send you the eBook.
I’m glad I was able to help confirm some of your suspicions regarding DSD! If I can help with anything else down the road, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Hey Ian….could you please review The inbox blueprint by Anik Singhal which is being launched again now. There is a lot of talk about this product and I wonder why haven’t you reviewed this one yet. Thanks, Pranav .
Hello Pranav, I’m currently somewhat behind on reviews due to other projects that I’ve been working on and are taking up a lot of my time. Inbox Blueprint has been on my list for a while and I just haven’t had the opportunity to get around to it yet, but I will try to in the not-so-distant future. Thank you for reaching out with the request.
Hi Ian,
I value your reviews as its prevent newbies falling in traps.
Can you give your review about IncomeAutoPilot by Gabor.
Seem to be good need your review before taking decision to buy.
Thnx
Hey Jack! Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately I’m keeping a bit busy with a few other projects right now and am backed up on my reviews a bit. I’ll add this to my list of products to check out in the future and do my best to review it if it meets the criteria for my product reviews. Take care and let me know if I can help with anything else!
I really like the content on you website and I just finished reading your ebook. I am still trying to figure out my niche, but I am so totally excited to be starting. Thanks again.
Thanks for stopping by, Kay! Figuring out your niche can be one of the hardest obstacles in the beginning, but it gets easier in time and you begin seeing niches everywhere after you’ve been at this for a while. Keep up the hard work and feel free to let me know if I can help with anything along the way.
Hey I tried to download your free stuff and it sent me to the wa free user sign up page….I was planning on signing up on waking after I read ur material… I don’t want to miss out on the things they offer on the first 7 days. Can I stay a free user for longer then 7 days then upgrade or do I have to decide before the 7 days is up???
Hey Gary, yes – you can stay as a free user for longer than 7 days. Your starter account (the free membership) won’t be deleted or anything – no worries. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey Ian – I would like to say that I, unfortunately, did not know about your site before and bought GoogleSniper. I received the email about seeing how Predator works shortly thereafter and started watching it. I was getting all excited at how easy it was going to be to make money. In the middle of the video I stopped it to look up how much the Predator software was and came across this page. I really wish I had done more research before wasting my money on this product. I am going to bookmark your page for future reference.
No problem at all, Brenda! I’m sorry that you purchased the product before finding my review, and unfortunately “Predator” is mostly just a re-launch of the same old, re-hashed product that George Brown has been pushing on the internet for years. You can get a refund pretty easily through Clickbank if you’d like and it hasn’t been more than 60 days. If you’re interested in knowing how, I explained it to another follower of mine on a separate review, but since Google Sniper is sold through Clickbank just like the product he was asking about, the refund process is the exact same. Here is the explanation in case you’re interested, and let me know if I can help with anything else down the road!
Ian When I tried to download the book nomore bs reiews it was blocked by pop ups is this you or me blocking the download. So far I am impressed with your information just stuck on the download. Thanks Karen
Hey Karen! It’s definitely not my side – it must be something with your anti-virus software or something like that. Email me directly if you can’t get it worked out and I’ll send you a copy.
I hope that helps!
Ian,
I’ve book marked this site and keep coming back to it because I find the reviews to be really good reads without the BS. This free info section is really good to and linking to Pat Flynn was great too, at least for me, he has a lot of good resources that is pretty complimentary to what you share here.
Thanks a ton.
David.
No problem at all David! I’m very happy that I could help. If you have any questions come up along the way as you continue on your internet marketing journey, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Wow a lot of thanks for the tips, have finished to check your seven steps and were useful those advices , i would like to ask if you have a pague where i can pick a good theme that works with SEO tricks 😀
Hey Alberto, what do you mean by “works with SEO tricks”? Don’t try to trick the search engines, that will just get your website punished and buried in the long run.
Hey everyone. If you have not signed up for Ian’s Simple7 course yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. I have found his e-mails extremely helpful in creating my niche. I really had no clue where to start before.
Ian, keep up the good work man. You are saving people money left and right, I have no doubt of that
Wow – thanks Adam for such a kind comment! I know this course helps a lot of people, but not a whole lot of them take the time to come back and comment to tell me so (most just email me privately). Thank you so much for the public recommendation! If I can help with anything else, don’t hesitate to let me know!
Hi Ian, I have tested out a certain program online for affiliate marketing and it seems to have quite a little information on how to get going and helped me get a website up, I am still learning how to alter the website. Was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at the program and let me know if you think it is legitimate or a scam. Thanks!
I can take a look, Logan. What program is it?
Hi Ian
I’ve read your NoMoreBS and it was great and helped put things into perspective. My question is, do I need to register my website as a business and if so how do i go about it? Thank you
It depends on what part of the world you’re in. Typically the answer is no. What part of the world are you in?
I live in South Africa
I’m not familiar with the laws there. If you were in the U.S. I could help give a little more guidance. You should be able to find this very easily on your country’s government websites, though.
Thank you , i will look on them.
Hi Ian! I am a mother of 4 young children and I am looking for a way to generate income while I am staying home with them. Something low cost, easy to understand, that doesn’t require me to be on the phone would be great. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…think you can help?
Hey RJ, I’d recommend checking out my free eBook and/or my niche marketing course, SIMPLE7. Both are free and will get you started in the right direction.
I have a retail store, setting up a website but am working on better pictures from inside store Wht books or courses do I need to get traffic to my website. I’m taking pictures this week to replace some on the website. I sell collegiate products and need direction on how to proceed.
Hey Dianne – Any course on niche marketing will help get you started in the right direction. Most of my lessons are written specifically targeting people looking to make affiliate income, but you can apply all of the same principles to an eCommerce or local business if you’d like. They will be just as effective.
I would recommend starting with my free niche marketing course called SIMPLE7 if you haven’t found it yet. You can find it here on my website and receive a lesson every two days for the next two weeks via email (it’s a lot of material) or you can dive into the entire course here, but you would have to have a free membership to access it.
That’s a great starting point, and if you go through that and have any questions after (or along the way) please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Hi Mr David,
I, too, am looking to start my own business on the internet. I have a free website for now. (www.swbiz.webs.com) I also have a real domain name for which I purchased through Go Daddy.com for a year. SherisStore.us. I have spoken with Godaddy.com several times and heard they are a good source for website hosting and making your own website via templates. I also did some research on Hostgator.com for hosting my website(when it gets made). Since Godaddy.com uses WordPress for hosting, for which I was not impressed with.(but will be when I learn how to use it!) GoDaddy.com has offered me a free .com domain name and all the tools on how to build my website and hosting for $170 for 3 years!! Is this a good investment in you opinion?? (I like the one shop and done theory but I will go with your opinion) OR do I need to do other things like get the domain name from them and then use Hostgator to host my website? (of which I am new to doing this.) I do however have a A.A.S Degree in Computer Information Systems and a Certificate from Bainbridge College. I can’t seem to find work right now, would this be a worthwhile venture to do? I have also been watching the videos from Vick V. from Miami Florida?. “High Traffic Academy”..What is you review on this? Thank you for you help and advise I surely do appreciate it. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Sheri W.
Hello Ian thanks for reviews
I’m looking For a Internet business that I as a starter but fast learner and dedicated person can start in. Just need some direction. I can learn anything. Thank u
Hi Ian, I just came her after looking for reviews about paydays and there I got you. So, I agree on what you said about it and the internet marketing that comes out now a days and so I need your help and recommendation and refer me to some of the legit and low cost home based jobs that I could work on. Thank you!
I am just looking for legitimate work at home. I’m willing to put in the work. Thanks.
Hello,
Hello Ian I am new visitor to your website and I am glad that I did not buy the social commissions product.
I want to know if you can recommend a home business or more that is low cost , easy to do , and make money ? Something I can do part-time for extra income.

Hi Ian,

Thanks.
Hi, I was also hoping you could point me in the right direction. I am looking to make all of my income working from home.
Hi Ian,
I just paid $19 few hours ago for automated paydays. I was assured by their money back guarantee that’s why I made the payment right away but after reading your review about them and checking the whole site itself, I think I just made a big mistake. I’m worried that I won’t be able to get my $19 back. Any advice on this? Thanks a lot and more power.
Hi
Just to let you know Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn link is not working.
Jerry
Hello Ian I am looking for a home business that is low in cost , easy to do no chasing at all . Can you help me ?
Hello David, thank you for reaching out. Although I can refer you to low cost programs, I can’t refer you to anything that’s easy. Affiliate marketing takes a great will to learn and change your life, and also requires a great deal of time and effort. If it’s something you’re seriously committed to I can refer you to programs that will help, but if you’re hoping for something quick or easy I cannot help. Any product claiming that in this industry that I have reviewed is a scam.
I hope this helps and best of luck!
Hello Ian I am visitor to your website and I am glad that I did not buy the six figure program . I want to know if you can recommend a home business or more that is low cost , easy to do , and make money ? Hope to hear from you soon .
Hey David! I sent you an email a couple of days ago to point you in the right direction of a product that might be able to help. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask!
