Disclosure: Bear in mind that some of the links in this post are affiliate links and if you go through them to make a purchase I will earn a commission. Keep in mind that I link these companies and their products because of their quality and not because of the commission I receive from your purchases. The decision is yours, and whether or not you decide to buy something is completely up to you.
John Crestani. If you are a part of the affiliate marketing community or even the online money-making sphere, then that should sound like a familiar name. In the past several months John Crestani has been the talk of the town in affiliate marketing forums, especially in regards to his program Super Affiliate System.
Naturally, when there is so much hype around one person, one wants to know if there is validity behind it. Well, stick around and find out because today we are taking a look at John Crestani and his “life-changing” program.
In order to understand the Super Affiliate System Program, we must first get to know the man running the show.
John Crestani is a (self-proclaimed) “renowned expert in affiliate marketing.” After leaving his stagnant job in the corporate world, in just a few short years, he’s gone on to build an empire in the affiliate marketing space. Crestani has now taken it upon himself to teach a handful of aspiring marketers how, they too, can get a piece of the affiliate marketing action.
Of course, this is through his program, Super Affiliate System. If you want more information on Crestani, check out this Forbes article. It goes into more detail than I find necessary to cover in this post… Shall we continue?
Super Affiliate System is a complete affiliate marketing training system that shows people how to create massively profitable affiliate campaigns. If you follow the system you will have the “ultimate blueprint to start your home business anywhere in the world”, through affiliate marketing.
For those of you who don’t know what affiliate marketing is, it’s the process by which an affiliate earns a commission for marketing another person’s or company’s products. The affiliate simply promotes the product they enjoy, then earns a commission from whatever sales the product brings. The sales are tracked via affiliate links from one website to another.
Super Affiliate system provides members with all the templates they need to succeed (i.e Landing pages, ads, emails, affiliate network referrals, etc.) As an added bonus members also get a weekly coaching session with John Crestani. In total, the Super Affiliate System takes about 6 weeks to complete with over 50 hours of recorded training to go along with it.
My initial thoughts on the program are rather indifferent. I have heard this story many times and I’m sure you have also. Most of them start with being “the offer of a lifetime” and soon end with my expectations high and my wallet a bit emptier. Because so many people claim to have the winning formula, it’s hard to get excited every time a new one comes out. But, let’s not fold our hand too quickly and read on.
The tools below are what John Crestani includes in his program. I’ll be honest, this is pretty good information that, if used properly, can help affiliates generate profit and scale their businesses over time.
Buyers Data:
Without going too far in-depth, the course provides affiliates with the information needed to help effectively target customers most likely to buy your product. This allows you to skip the split-testing process, where you see which ad performs the best with which audience.
Ad Templates:
John Crestani provides pre-made ad templates that produce the best results depending on the industry you select. The templates can simply be dragged and dropped into various ad networks “with the peace of mind that it will convert customers.”
Presell Pages:
Similar to the ads, Crestani also provides pre-built landing pages to help you attract customers. This is a particularly nice feature because it takes out the hassle of coding or using a third-party program to create your sales pages.
VIP Pass to Affiliate Networks:
Another rather cool feature is the VIP affiliate pass. If you have signed up for affiliate networks in the past then you know the process can sometimes take a while. I don’t know how, but Crestani seems to have worked out deals with different affiliate networks so his members get easily accepted into their program.
Access to the Super Affiliate Community:
This feature gives you access to a community of other like-minded people who are driven, hard-working, and desire to be financially independent. It is a good way for newbies to get fresh new ideas and learn alongside people who have had success in the past.
Live Weekly Coaching Sessions:
John Crestani personally hosts these sessions every week. He is there every step of the way to hand-hold and guide new affiliates through their journey.
These are some of the listed offers included in the Super Affiliate System. If you want to know the specific skills the program teaches, that is right below. As of right now, what is going through your head? Is this program something you think you might be interested in? If you are still on the fence, like I surely was, keep reading. Perhaps the answers you need are right below.
According to Crestani, these skills form the backbone of the program’s teachings. They can be used to effectively market products online. If students implement these skills they can “come out of our training with proven tactics and methods to making money online and skills that will help them no matter where they ultimately end up in life.”
The program focuses highly on various mindset exercises to reduce students’ susceptibility to ‘Shiny Object Syndrome‘, and more. Basically Crestani is showing you how to stay focused, so you don’t get caught chasing new business ideas, tools, or goals. This is a skill many new entrepreneurs lack so it can prove to be invaluable.
If you ask me, these skills are nice to know but, they aren’t necessarily worth paying for. A quick Youtube search can probably provide you with more information and for free at that. I think Crestani is rather vague when it comes to describing the methods he uses to generate success. I know that he isn’t supposed to give too much information away; that would defeat the purpose of selling his program. However, if you are going to ask someone to invest loads of money into your program, I feel like you should, at the very least, give people a better understanding of what they are getting themselves into. Maybe that is just might be me, though.
For those who have stuck around this long, this is what you can expect if you decide to purchase Crestrani’s program. Mind you, this is directly from the SAS website, so you can trust it is pretty accurate.
Week 1 – Setup
Week 2 – Choosing Your Niche
Week 3 – Advanced Marketing Skills
Week 4 – Facebook & Google Advertising
Week 5 – Youtube Ads & Native Advertising
Week 6 – Scaling and Automation
Now for the moment that most of you have been waiting for, the price of SAS. Probably the most unattractive aspect of this program, John Crestani is asking for an upfront cost of $997 for the Super Affiliate System. However, Crestani values his system at $4,985 so, according to him, users are nearly getting 81% off for their investment. In my opinion, no matter how you spin it, that is still a hefty price tag, especially for those who are new to affiliate marketing.
The one redeeming factor is this is a one-time charge and your purchase gets you all the features listed above. Also, all purchases are backed with a 30-Day “No Questions Asked” Money-Back-Guarantee. So, if you decide the program is not for you, you can get a refund.
I think the name “Super Affiliate System” is misleading because the program doesn’t go into the inner working of being an affiliate marketer (At least not to the degree the title might lead you to believe). It does, however, show you how to utilize different forms of paid advertisement. Perhaps the “Super Advertising System” is a more appropriate name.
The methods Crestani teaches focuses heavily on paid advertisement, so users should have a budget set aside for that purpose. But, if you have a lower budget, I’d recommend you focus on organic methods like search engine optimization or video marketing.
Overall, Super Affiliate System is a legitimate course that offers great information if you’re looking for a method to create captivating paid ads, taught by one of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business. You get an inside look at Crestani’s successful affiliate marketing business and how to implement his steps, which can be invaluable to some.
In conclusion, use your discretion when looking at this program. Ask yourself what it is you want to get out of your affiliate marketing experience. If you want a very comprehensive guide on paid advertising then perhaps you found the right program. Bear in mind, the methods Crestani teaches are essentially a duplicate of his very own. He doesn’t show members how to create their own brand or create their own website or write their own ads. Everything is a copy-paste method of what Crestani has used. This is neither good nor bad.
If you want to get started with the Super Affiliate System, here is a link to Crestani’s video webinar. As the saying goes: “Different strokes for different folks.” See for yourself if the program is the right fit for you. At the end of the day that is truly what matters.
