Twitter Affiliate Mastery - A Quick Skim Review

I just purchased the Twitter Affiliate Mastery course and wanted to give a quick review or first glance thoughts on it.

Firstly, the course does look good. There are plenty of examples of how to use tweets, templates and methods to get people to click and buy through an affiliate link. There are tips and tricks of how to maximize the click throughs and some cool tricks to get additional sales. There are definitely some points I have not seen before.

But…

As with a lot of these types of courses, even though they might promote themselves as step-by-step, they aren’t really.

I am a “process” kind of guy. If a course is designed to take you by the hand, then I expect to see “Do XXX, followed by YYY. If YYY doesn’t work, try ZZZ in 12 hours”. There is a bit of that where you monitor a tweets success and react with a follow up tweet, but I would like to see more systemization of the process rather than taking examples and trying to make them work for you.

The course also assumes you have some sort of Twitter account already. There are no instructions on how to grow your account from 0 (or even from 100) followers. This is a different (unrelated) course that is referenced in the final “Resources” section.

I guess you would be stupid to think that you could start this today and make money immediately. But again, thinking from a process point of view, it would be good to see recommendations not to do X or Y until you have achieved ZZZ followers. You shouldn’t try to sell with every tweet, but I don’t believe there is too much instruction on how to manage this - 80/20 perhaps? Or perhaps this is all just common sense and I am over thinking it all?

Another grumble is that all of the examples given are from the creators own Twitter account. It promotes similar sorts of ideas and courses: online marketing, grow your twitter following etc. Where are the examples from weight loss, productivity etc?

But, there is an update to the course coming soon that does provide some templates for different niches, so I am looking forward to seeing these.

The course teaches you to mainly affiliate to Gumroad products and courses, for which you get a special affiliate link. Perhaps I can reverse engineer that format and see on Twitter where others have used the same teachings for different niches.

It just leads me to think that I will only see success if I enter the same niche, promoting the same sort of affiliate links.

And as I suspected, this course just leads to others.

Ones to help you set up and grow your Twitter account in the first place, one to give you successful tweet templates plus the suggestion to buy the courses you promote. Unlike promoting random Amazon products, you have to ask for permission to affiliate with the products he suggests, so you should only promote things you use, right? The course also talks about being an ethical affiliate too.

Of course, this is just some of my quick thoughts after skimming the course. I will need to go back and re-read it properly, formulate a plan and decide how to start implementing the teachings.
