Hi and welcome to my review of the Commission Machine, a course by Michael Cheney.
The Commission Machine is a product by Michael Cheney and is sold on the JVZOO network. If you are a newbie, studying affiliate marketing and how to make money at home with your labtop, this is probably the best introductory course in the market. This is not a high dollar thousand dollar plus affiliate marketing course. At the time of this writing the Commission Machine sells for less than $50.00 and I think it is a great investment.
For anyone who is not familiar with Michael Cheney, he is a very successful internet marketer and makes a seven-figure income. So he is not your typical guy with a day job trying to teach you something he just learned last weekend.
The Commission Machine was released around a couple of years ago and is still a very popular product today, in fact it is one of the most popular online marketing courses available, probably because of its relatively low price tag compared to many comprable courses.
Just because it is popular, does not mena it is worth your time and money. The Commission Machine is a good product and if it will help you make money online, especially if you are new to the affiliate marketing space.
Commission Machine Review
Before I get on with the actual review, I want to say a couple of things about the sales page of the Commission Machine.
The hype of the sales page plus the video testimonials and Mr Cheney showing of his PayPal balance could make you believe this $47.00 product is you path to finanical indepenedence. It may be a perfect stepping stone, but don’t expect to make 7 figures your first year!
And then you have the message below.
Forcing people to make money whether they like it or not? Unfortunately, back then I was a newbie and believed anyone who told me that making money online was simple as copy and paste. Hopefully at this point, you have grown beyond that.
I am shocked at how many people come out of the real world job market and thinking making millions of dollars online is going to be simple and paineless with no learning curve.
I have watched sales page becoming more and more exaggerated over the years and the get rich quick mentality it instils in people’s minds is horrific.
Many people give up on making money online simply because their expectations where far too high when they start.
The Commission Machine is actually a great product and pefect first step into the world of affiliate marketing.
So, what is inside the Commission Machine members area?
Before you can access any of the material you paid for, you will be invited to attend an orientation call that will provide even more training. However, it’s really a recorded webinar where Michael will share with you his high ticket coaching program.
Honestly, I wish I had taken this program when I started, it would have saved me months of feeling stuck and frustrated. So if you have the money too invest and it won’t take food off your table, it may be something worth considering.
This is called this 7-Figure Franchise and it comes with a hefty price tag, it basically gives you a license to sell every single product that Michael Cheney has developed and comes with the opportunity to earn 100% commission on all front-end sales and 50% if you manage to sell the 7-Figure Franchise.
I ended up joining this a few months after I started and I recouped my investment in a short period of time and continue to make profits from this investment month after month.
If you ever buy the Commission Machine and can afford the upsell, It has made me alot of money and I believe it could for you, if you are serious.
So, what about the actual contents of The Commission Machine and how soon can you start profiting from your $50 investment?
Commission Machine Training
Basically, you get access to 7 training videos from Michael Cheney where he shows you how to make money online through affiliate marketing.
The videos gave me a real paridgmn shift and open up the world of online affiliate marketing for me in a big way. Most of them are just over 20 minutes long, they cover the following modules;
Research – How to find affiliate products to promote, he focuses on products in the internet marketing niche because it is lucrative. He suggests using the JVZOO affiliate network to find products to promote. Although JVZOO is a legitimate network and there are good products you can promote, there are also a lot of junk products that do not deliver. He doesn’t go in detail on how to avoid the bad products but suggests if it has sold a lot, you should think about promoting it. The problem with this approach is that there are a lot of bad products that have sold really well on the JVZOO network
Angle – How to sell the product to your audience, this is a good video and I enjoyed and learned alot.
Providing Incentives – How to get your audience to buy from you, topics covered include providing bonuses, scarcity tactics, offering discounts. I probably have made more money from this session than any of the others.
Messages – This expands more on module two, Michael shows you examples of email messages he sends and the stories he tells to get his audience to buy from him. This is another video I enjoyed, storytelling is a very effective marketing tactic and Mr Cheney is a master storyteller. I really needed this because writing effective emails for me has been a challenge.
Deploy – This module is all about how and when to send you email messages. For the record this is the autoresponder I use an recommend.
No List Method – If you do not have a list or access to an autoresponder to build a list, this module shows you a couple of ways to promote affiliate offers through Facebook.
Advanced tactics – A couple of methods are revealed that really increased my affiliate earnings and ultimately was the reason I joined Mr. Chaneys high ticket coaching program.
Most of the stuff he teaches is good and you can pick up some golden nuggets especially on the video about how storytelling is a good way to sell products.
Michael Cheney is an email marketer and a very good one, obviously what he does works, and this is what he teaches.
However, his methods may not be suitable for everyone, I know that I wouldn’t feel comfortable following some of his affiliate marketing tactics.
If you are on Mr. Cheney’s email list, you know that he sends email messages often and they are always promotional messages. He is always selling something and its very in your face kind of marketing. I have come to understand that we have to do what we can to get someone attention if we have a product or service we really believe in.
Is Commission Machine suitable for everyone? Nope and I wouldn’t advise it for experienced, full-time, marketers.
Will you be earning over $2000 a day by just copying his methods? probabably not, that is the type of over the top claims that give this industry a bad name. Is it worth the $47 investment? WITHOUT QUESTION!
Upsells
There a couple of upsells with this product.
The first is a done for you system which costs a one-time fee of $97. You get access to 7 done for you affiliate promotions. There are email swipes and bonuses you can use as your own to help you build your email list. I bought this and made my investment back very quickly. So again it just depend on how serious you are, and how much you are ready to invest now in becoming a well paid affiliate marketer?
The second is a product called Commissionology, this is a monthly membership in which you get access to Michael Cheney’s entire catalogue of affiliate promotions and any new promotions he does.
Final Thoughts on Comission Machine
The Commission Machine is a great product that can be useful stepping stone for serious students who are willing to master Mr. Chaney’s proven methods.
I recently started viewing the videos again and found some of them very useful, especially the video on storytelling. However, I only found them useful because I had a good grasp of what affiliate marketing was and how it works.
You know the old saying “When the student is read, the teacher will arrive”. If you are sincerely ready, Michael Chaney is a 7-Figure earner you can definately learn alot from. His coaching got me out of my job and into full-time affiliate marketing. Will it do the same for you? I don’t know, is the STUDENT READY?
