Hey there, fellow money-makers and digital dreamers! Jeff Lenney here, your friendly neighborhood affiliate marketing guru. Today, we're diving deep into the world of Commission Hero - and boy, do I have some stories to tell you. Buckle up, because this isn't your grandma's product review (unless your grandma is secretly crushing it in the affiliate game, in which case, can we meet her?).
The Backstory: How I Stumbled Upon The Commission Hero System
Picture this: It's 2019, and I'm sitting in my home office, surrounded by empty coffee cups and the faint smell of desperation. I've just launched my 47th "foolproof" affiliate campaign, and guess what? It flopped harder than a fish on dry land.
That's when I stumbled across Commission Hero. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Jeff, you smooth-talking marketing wizard, surely you didn't need another course!" Well, let me tell you something: even us "experts" need a kick in the pants sometimes. And boy, did Commission Hero deliver that kick (in the best way possible).
Fast forward to 2024, and here I am, reviewing the updated version of the program that changed my affiliate game. Spoiler alert: it's still pretty damn good.
What the Hell is Commission Hero, Anyway?
I Joined, so I Can Show You! 😎
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. Commission Hero is an affiliate marketing training program created by Robby Blanchard, a guy who's made more money online than I've spent on failed PPC campaigns (and trust me, that's saying something).
The 2023 version of Commission Hero is centered around a 6-Week MasterClass. Each week, you get a meaty 1+ hour video that dives deep into the nitty-gritty of affiliate marketing. It's like binge-watching your favorite Netflix series, except instead of a hangover and regret, you end up with actual marketing skills.
But here's the kicker: it's not just about throwing a bunch of information at you and hoping something sticks. This program is all about actionable strategies that you can implement right away. It's like having Robby as your personal affiliate marketing Yoda, minus the weird syntax and green skin.
The Good, The Bad, and The "Holy Crap, That Actually Worked?"
Let's break this down, shall we?
The Good:
- Comprehensive Training: The 6-Week MasterClass is no joke. It's packed with more valuable information than my brain after a 3-day marketing conference binge.
- Up-to-Date Strategies: Unlike my wardrobe, this 2023 version is actually current. No outdated tactics here, folks.
- Real-World Application: Everything you learn can be put into practice immediately. No "theory only" BS.
- Robby's Expertise: The guy knows his stuff. It's like learning to cook from Gordon Ramsay, minus the yelling and colorful language (okay, maybe there's still some colorful language).
The Bad:
- Information Overload: There's A LOT to take in. My brain felt like it was running a marathon in flip-flops at times.
- It's Not Magic: You actually have to, you know, do the work. Shocking, I know.
- Investment Required: Both time and money. But hey, you gotta spend money to make money, right? (At least that's what I tell my wife when she sees my credit card bill)
The "Holy Crap, That Actually Worked?":
- Facebook Ad Strategies: I thought I knew Facebook ads. Turns out, I knew jack squat compared to what Commission Hero taught me.
- Landing Page Optimization: My conversion rates went from "meh" to "holy guacamole!" faster than you can say "click-through rate."
- Scaling Techniques: I finally learned how to scale campaigns without watching my profits disappear faster than my hair in my 30s.
Breaking Down the 6-Week MasterClass
Now, let's dive into the meat and potatoes of Commission Hero - the 6-Week MasterClass. Robby's laid out a step-by-step journey that'll take you from affiliate zero to hero. Here's what you can expect:
Week 1: Welcome, Mindset and The Big Picture
This is where Robby lays down the law. You'll get a warm welcome into the world of Commission Hero, but more importantly, you'll start developing the right mindset for success. Robby dives into the big picture of affiliate marketing, setting the stage for everything that follows.
I'll be honest, I went into this thinking, "Mindset? Pfft, I've got this." But let me tell you, there were more "aha!" moments in this week than I've had... well, ever. It's like Robby reached through the screen, grabbed my brain, and gave it a good shake.
Week 2: Facebook Business Manager Setup, Ad Account, Fan Page & Warming
Hold onto your hats, because Week 2 is where things start to get technical. You'll learn the ins and outs of setting up your Facebook Business Manager, creating and managing your ad account, and establishing a fan page.
But it's not just about the nuts and bolts - Robby also covers the crucial concept of "warming" your audience. This is like preheating the oven before you bake - it makes all the difference in your results. And trust me, after this week, you'll be serving up some piping hot ads that your audience can't resist.
Week 3: Setting up your Landing Page, Domains and Affiliate Links
Landing pages are your digital storefront, and in Week 3, you'll learn how to build ones that convert. Robby covers everything from choosing and setting up domains to crafting affiliate links that actually get clicked.
By the end of this week, you'll be creating landing pages that convert better than a door-to-door salesman with the gift of gab. I'm talking about pages so good, they could sell ice to an Eskimo (not that we're targeting Eskimos... or are we?).
Week 4: Creating your first Facebook Ad (Ad Copy and Creative)
This is where the rubber meets the road. You'll dive deep into the art and science of creating Facebook ads that grab attention and drive action. Robby breaks down both the copywriting and visual aspects of effective ads.
After this week, you'll be crafting ads that'll have people clicking faster than I hit "add to cart" on Amazon after a few glasses of wine. And let me tell you, that's fast.
My #1 Tip: Copywriting is THE #1 absolute best skill you can have to make money online, DON'T just limit yourself to what you learn about writing killer copy.
Here are a few of my FAVORITE copywriting resources, save these and read through them later:
- The Gary Halbert Letter
- The Ultimate Guide to No-Pain Copywriting, by Copyhackers
- Jon Morrows Headline Hacks
WAIT - DID YOU AT LEAST LOOK AT THE LINKS ABOVE?
- Nothing to buy, the resources listed above are some of the best free copywriting training in the world. They will 100% improve your success as a marketer if you study them, even if you don't pick up Commission Hero.
- Do not limit yourself or your education You're not going to learn everything from one source, always be learning.
- The three resources above can help you crush it in your online business, and create not only killer landing pages but also give you some great ideas for your Facebook ads.
Week 5: Launching the first conversion campaign
With all the pieces in place, Week 5 is all about pulling the trigger on your first real campaign. Robby guides you through the process of launching a conversion-focused campaign, teaching you how to optimize for results from day one.
This is where theory meets practice, and let me tell you, it's as exciting as it is nerve-wracking. It's like that moment when you're about to ask your crush to prom, except instead of a potential date, you're looking at potential profits.
Week 6: Analyzing Data, Scaling + More
In the final week, Robby shows you how to make sense of all the data you've gathered and use it to scale your success. You'll learn how to read the metrics that matter, make data-driven decisions, and take your successful campaigns to the next level.
Plus, he throws in some advanced strategies and "more" (which, in my experience, usually means the really good stuff they don't want to advertise too loudly). It's like getting the secret menu at In-N-Out, but for affiliate marketing.
This structured approach ensures you're building your affiliate marketing empire on a solid foundation, step by step. It's like constructing a house, except instead of bricks and mortar, you're using pixels and persuasion. And let me tell you, by the end of these six weeks, you'll have built yourself a pretty impressive digital mansion.
Tools, Resources, and "Why Didn't I Think of That?" Moments
Commission Hero isn't just about the training videos. Oh no, my friends. It's a whole ecosystem of tools and resources that'll make your affiliate marketing life easier than a Sunday morning (assuming your Sunday mornings don't involve chasing after toddlers like mine do).
- Ad Templates: These babies are worth their weight in gold. Or bitcoins. Or whatever the cool kids are investing in these days.
- Landing Page Templates: Say goodbye to your crappy, homemade landing pages. These templates are slicker than a greased-up pig at a county fair.
- Access to a Private Facebook Group: It's like a support group for affiliate marketers, minus the stale coffee and uncomfortable chairs.
- Bonus Training Sessions: Because apparently, 6 weeks of mind-blowing content just wasn't enough.
The Results: Show Me the Money (No, Seriously, Show Me)
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. Did Commission Hero actually make me money? Well, let me put it this way: my accountant called me to ask if I'd started dealing drugs. (I hadn't, I swear. Unless you count affiliate marketing as a drug, in which case, I'm the Walter White of digital marketing.)
In all seriousness, my results with Commission Hero have been pretty damn impressive. We're talking triple-digit percentage increases in my affiliate income. And no, I'm not talking about going from $1 to $3 (though hey, 200% is 200%, right?).
But here's the thing: your results may vary. If you're expecting to sign up for Commission Hero and wake up the next day with a seven-figure bank account, you might want to adjust your expectations (and maybe lay off the late-night infomercials).
This program works if you work it. It's not a magic pill, it's more like a really effective workout routine. You'll see results, but only if you put in the effort.
But Jeff, Does it REALLLLLLY Work?
Before you start wondering - YES, the stuff you'll learn in the Commission Hero affiliate marketing course actually works. And NO, you don't need to be some kind of online marketing Einstein to make this happen. Trust me on this one.
I'm living proof that you don't need a fancy degree to crush it in affiliate marketing. Heck, I'm a JUNIOR College Dropout, and somehow I've managed to stumble my way into a 7-Figure Online Business. Go figure, right?
Just in the past month, I've been making money in niches so diverse, it's like I'm running a digital farmer's market. We're talking survival gear, DIY projects, Baby Sleep Training (because apparently, sleep is a luxury for new parents), Teaching Kids to Read (spoiler alert: it doesn't involve bribing them with candy), Type 2 Diabetes solutions, make money online programs, and more. It's like I'm playing affiliate marketing bingo, and I'm loving every minute of it.
Now, let me take you on a little trip down memory lane. Picture this: it's 2010, I'm younger, more naive, and probably wearing a terrible shirt. Suddenly, BOOM! My first ever affiliate sale hits. A whopping $25 from promoting something called Replay Media Catcher. Was it going to make me a millionaire? Nope. But did it prove that this whole 'making money online' thing wasn't just a myth? You bet your sweet bippy it did.
That $25 was like finding the first piece of treasure on a deserted island. It wasn't much, but it screamed, "Hey, there's more where that came from!" And boy, was there ever. That small win was all I needed to kick it into overdrive and chase that sweet, sweet affiliate marketing success.
I still remember the milestones like they were yesterday:
- My first $100 day (I felt like I'd hacked the Matrix)
- The first $500 day (I may have done a victory dance... in public)
- Hitting that $1,000 day mark (I think I blacked out from excitement)
And don't even get me started on the details - I can tell you exactly what I was promoting and how I stumbled into those wins. It's like my brain has a special filing cabinet just for "Times Jeff Actually Knew What He Was Doing."
But here's the kicker - I vividly remember the day I made over $10,000 in one DAY. Let that sink in. One. Day. And you know what? Once you understand the trifecta of finding the right offers, targeting the right audience, and scaling your traffic, it's not as impossible as it sounds.
That banner day happened in 2015, the year I treated myself to a little something special - a Breitling Navitimer watch. Now, I'm not usually one for fancy accessories (unless you count my collection of ironic t-shirts), but this watch meant something. See, I grew up flying in small Cessnas with my dad, so aviation has been in my blood since before I could walk.
I dropped $6,000 on that watch in July 2015, and it's not just a timepiece - it's a trophy. A reminder of how far I've come from that first $25 sale. It's staying with me forever, a constant reminder that yes, this crazy internet money thing actually works.
(By the way, if you want to see more of my terrible fashion choices or glimpses of the watch, feel free to stalk me on Instagram. Just don't judge my filter choices, okay?)
Anyway, while those big-number milestones are great for the ego (and the bank account), it's that first $25 commission from Replay Media Catcher that really takes the cake. That humble little payment was my golden ticket, my "aha!" moment, my digital epiphany. It proved to me that I wasn't just shouting into the void of the internet - I actually had what it took to make this crazy online thing work!
And here's the kicker: I KNOW you can do it too. Yeah, you, the person reading this right now. Don't roll your eyes at me - I'm serious! It's not about being a tech genius or having a degree in advanced internet wizardry. It's about dedication and the stubbornness to keep going when things get tough.
Let me let you in on a little secret: I've failed more times than I can count. Seriously, if failing were an Olympic sport, I'd have more gold medals than Michael Phelps. But you know what? Here I am. Still standing, still making money, still occasionally buying overpriced watches.
So don't throw in the towel if things aren't looking up right away. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was any successful affiliate marketing career. Stick with it, learn from your mistakes (trust me, you'll make plenty), and keep pushing forward. Before you know it, you might be the one writing ridiculously long reviews about how you made it in the affiliate marketing world!
Is Commission Hero Worth It? (Spoiler: Yeah, Probably)
Look, I'm not here to blow smoke up your ass. Commission Hero isn't cheap, and it's not for everyone. If you're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme or you're not willing to put in the work, save your money and buy a lottery ticket instead.
But if you're serious about affiliate marketing and you're willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty (metaphorically speaking, unless you're into some weird marketing techniques I don't know about), then yeah, Commission Hero is probably worth it.
Here's why:
- The Training is Top-Notch: Robby knows his stuff, and he knows how to teach it.
- The Strategies Work: I've seen it firsthand in my own campaigns.
- The Support is Excellent: That Facebook group is worth its weight in gold.
- It's Always Evolving: The 2023 update shows that Robby is committed to keeping the program current.
My Commission Hero Review: The Good, The Bad, and The "You've Gotta Be Kidding Me"
Alright, let's wrap this up before I start rambling more than I already have (too late?).
The Good:
- Comprehensive, up-to-date training
- Actionable strategies that actually work
- Excellent support and resources
- Potential for significant income increases
The Bad:
- It's a significant investment (both time and money)
- There's a learning curve (especially if you're new to affiliate marketing)
- It's not a guaranteed success (but then again, what is?)
The "You've Gotta Be Kidding Me":
- Some of the strategies are so effective, it almost feels like cheating (it's not, I checked)
- You might find yourself talking about affiliate marketing in your sleep (just ask my wife)
- Your friends might stage an intervention because they think you've joined a cult (it's not a cult, I swear... we just really like affiliate marketing)
So, there you have it, folks. My no-holds-barred, slightly caffeine-fueled review of Commission Hero 2023. Is it perfect? Nah. Is it worth checking out if you're serious about affiliate marketing? In my humble (and occasionally profitable) opinion, hell yes.
Just remember: affiliate marketing isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. And Commission Hero? Well, it's like having a really knowledgeable, slightly intense running coach by your side. You still have to do the running, but at least now you know which direction to go.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Facebook ads to optimize and a celebratory dance to do because I actually finished writing this review without getting distracted by shiny objects on the internet. Small victories, people. Small victories.
Hi Jeff, Great review!
I’m looking to get back into an online business. I began my journey years ago and got my first Clickbank cheque for $125 in 2007, then I got S.O.S. and so began my descent, learning PPC SEO etc etc, I did get a job as a web marketing manager but then they sold the company and everyone lost their jobs, and so here I am now, 55 years old with no online business to show for it, money spent down the drain, and now these courses all cost around a $1000, I guess this is the same?
Any advice appreciated, I run my own successful gardening business but physically things are starting to hurt, knees, hips, hands so I really need to come back online, I do have space on credit cards but need to be sensible, like I said any help or advice appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul
Hey Paul!
Thanks for reaching out! Facebook is an AMAZING way to make a crap ton of money online, honestly! The BIGGEST issue is, FB ad accts do get banned left and right, and sometimes (honestly) for no reason at all. It’s easy to get them back a lot, but the best thing to do is have multiple accts – which the CH training does cover well as well.
That being said, as long as you dont’ mind a bit of hard work, and some boring stuff with finding and testing different ad copy, creative, and audiences – CH is great!
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions
Jeff
Hey Jeff, I’m new to Affiliate Marketing but know how it works. I’m a college student, making over $1000 a month in my part-time job. I have over $5000 to give towards expenses for Commission Hero (i.e. ad money, click funnels, clickmagick, etc.) and I’m willing to spend 2-3 hours a day learning the material. Would this course work for me?
Hey Dan
SOrry, I thought I responded already! $5k is def great to start, you can start with a low ad budget too ($20 a day is great), then scale up the winning ads, and remove/delete the ones that aren’t profitable! 🙂
Jeff
Hey Jeff
Was really inspired by your review and decided to buy the course! 🙂 Hope to hear from you soon so we can chat!
Awesome, thanks Sara!
Email me (contact link above in the menu) your CB receipt # so I can send you the bonuses! 🙂
Jeff
Hey I have tried to email you with no reply. Have you not received my messages?
Hey Sara!
I responded to each one, check your spam folder maybe? Last one was 9 days ago I believe.
Thanks! 🙂
Jeff
Hey jeff,
I’m seriously considering trying this out and was wondering how long after purchase can I expect to hear from you.
Thanks for the review.
Chad
Hey Chad!
Purchase it, email me – i’ll hit you back up within 12-24 hours 🙂
Jeff
lol, this guy complains about other people giving bonus.
Literally end of the bonus:
($5,000 VALUE BONUS)
Sure your tips are 5000$ worth. Lol scam review
Hey, Jeremy!
I’ve been doing this whole “online thing” for quite some time now, and I’ve found that the majority of product reviews online NEVER try the product, they just base their fake reviews off of the sales page and what information they can find from other reviews online. Unfortunately, when you have 10s or even 100s of people doing the same thing – it’s pretty easy for false information from these fake reviews to spread pretty quickly.
Anyway, once the fake reviewer completes their “review”, they typically offer a ton of poorly written and outdated PLR content as bonuses “worth $50,000”, and hope they can convince somebody to buy the product via their link.
Then you have the other guys, the Worthless Affiliates – they just call everything a scam, and recommend their “#1 Recommended Program to Make Money Online” (even if the product they’re calling a scam is superior).
Which one are you, “Jeremy”? Looks like I upset you, so you’re clearly one of these two… I’d love to find out which! 😊
Now, here’s why I feel my bonus is worth (more than) $5,000:
Unlike every other “Review” out there, not only did I go through the Commission Hero Training completely, but I’m actually earning 4-5 figures per day online, using many of the methods Robby teaches.
I’d say if I could help somebody go from Zero to $100 or $1,000 a day with my advice, my help is probably worth a lot more than just the $5,000 value I put on it, In all fairness, I’m just being modest with that figure though. 🙂
By the way, why are you using a fake name and email address? Hiding your identity because you’re afraid I’ll call you out for being one of the above? 😉
Haben Sie einen guten Tag! 🍻
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
Thank You for a very informative review. I really liked it. Hoping to get more analysis from you.
Sure thing, Luke, glad you liked it!
Jeff
Hey Jeff, I agree 100% with what you said about the crappy way a lot of marketers do things. I am a newbie but I have a lot of knowledge of affiliate marketing from the research I’ve done – just havent implemented anything yet… I really like what I’m seeing with Commission Hero, its just a big investment right now and I’ve lost money in other things. I really cant afford for that to happen again. I appreciate your honest review.
When will you post a review?
Hey sorry Lauren, review is up – just putting the FINISHING touches on it now! 🙂
Jeff
Hello Jeff, hope all is well with you and the family. Thank you always for what you do for your customers and truly being honest and helping all of us out. Just wanted to know how the review for Commission Hero is coming along. Thanks again and have a great day.
Hey sorry, Pancho, the review is up – just putting the FINISHING touches on it now! 🙂
Jeff
