"Affiliate Silver Bullets" - Review

On February 10, 2008, I signed up for the "Affiliate Silver Bullets" (ASB) service and received a set of 10 ASB. Here are my first impressions:

1)The "Video Squeeze Pages" are professionally designed and very nice.

2)The 250 articles (25 per product) are given as HTML pages so:
a)If you want to submit an article to an article directory you have to extract it from HTML;
b)And if you want to build a site or a mini-site from the product articles, you will at least have to build the index page.

3)There is a problem of traffic. The ASB needs traffic and does not supply it.

4)If you don't have aWeber account, then you build the opt-in list for AffiliateSilverBullets.com. And Not for yourself!

5)0.23; 0.96; 1.96; 2.27; 12.2; 22.76; 31.12; 38.33; 40.47. These "magic" numbers are gravities of the ASB products and they don't look like gravities of "hot selling" products. Even the product that has the gravity of 40.47, has a rank of only 11 in its category.

That is what I think.

By the way, I could easily find the ASB products on the ClickBank marketplace using the program I am now writing. The user of this program can find a product according to a piece of text in the product title and/or description, according to category, merchant ID, etc. . . . Using the program, you can find a product and see how popular and converting it is. The filtering possibilities are much more flexible and powerful than the searching possibilities of Clickbank marketplace and of the majority of analogous programs.

It works exactly like the "Find Profitable Affiliate Products To Promote" project of Affiliate Elite for ClickBank marketplace. But it has a more user friendly interface. And the user knows exactly to what extent the product database is up-to-date, since the program itself makes the database upgrade. So there is no dependence on additional service and therefore the database always will be up-to-date without any doubts and without monthly payments!

Does it really Silver Bullet?

I stumbled upon the Dustin Struckman service Affiliate Silver Bullets that, according to the author, is a "true push-button marketing system".

As Dustin promises, he will create every month 10 "Silver Bullets" - each one virtually guaranteed to make you money.

Each of these Silver Bullets is designed to:
* Automatically build your targeted email lists
* Automatically follow-up with your prospects
* Automatically convert them into customers
* Automatically pay you a commission when they buy Each month,

Dustin picks 10 of affiliate products and creates these Silver Bullets for them. What is a Silver Bullet? It is a set of tools for each of the 10 products.
Each Silver Bullet includes:
* Professional Video Squeeze Page - to capture your visitors' name and email
* High-quality Squeeze Video - to grab your visitors' attention and get them to opt into your list
* Content Mini-site - to pre-sell your affiliate product and earn you commissions
* 5-part Email Series - to follow up with your prospects and convert more sales for you on the back-end.

And all the user of this service has to do is:
1. Sign up for a free affiliate account
2. Enter his affiliate info into the Affiliate Silver Bullet account
3. Upload customized Silver Bullets to the user's website.

The price for this promising offer is relatively low. So I could not refuse clicking the sign up link:
