Don't be put off by the names - obviously the Guru Slayer was inspired by the Day Job Killer - it is just that these guys think they need a daft name to attract attention. They are probably right. All three of these guys make a lot of money from affiliate and other sales, but that does not mean you and I can benefit from these methods. So where do we start?



I've reviewed all these methods, and was not enthusiastic about any at the start. The Day Job Killer follows on from Affiliate Project X, and is a thorough review of some really interesting undercover techniques that don't require you to have a web site. What you do need is quite a bit of time to do your research and find the best keywords and advertisements to run.

The good thing about it is that you do not need to spend a lot of money on tools or products. You can do most of this research just by surfing the net. Some of these methods require you to be a bit hard-nosed, and not worry if you upset a few people.

The Whizz Kid himself, Steven, is an upstart, who is doing very well out of affiliate sales, but he spends the first 20 of the 50 pages telling you about things most people who have read a bit of stuff on the internet and bought a few e-books will know. Later on he does talk about some methods you can use but they are not new.

Whizzkid is self-serving

In fact, the only thing you get that is new, so far as I could see, is a web page or two to sell his Whizzkid book – the thing you've just bought. Well, that is affiliate marketing, to be sure, but it is self-serving. No doubt loads of people have got the web site, dutifully signed up at quite an expensive web host, and then found that they did not make any money. I'm sure you can make money this way, but it is limited, and the Whizzkid book will not be in vogue for very long. No, that is not the best way of starting as an affiliate.

OK, then what about the Guru Slayer? Well, I will say this is different. It follows on from Dominating CB. Yes, this is about affiliate marketing, but Andrew also reckons you need our own products to make money on the internet, and in this case the affiliates are the people selling your product. He gives some advice on how to go down this route, and this is an interesting way of building a business. He does make the point that you need to work his methods as a business to make money with affiliate or product sales.

Andrew also shows how he made $39,014.56 in affiliate sales selling, guess what? Day Job Killer! This should get you excited, but there is a slight catch – you need a big list of potential buyers before you can use this method, and he has just that. Sure, he shows you what you need to do to build your list, and so long as you are patient you can make this work.

But I did find some really good stuff in here, such as:

Pitfalls to avoid, and how to maximize profits – page 21;

The best places to advertise – pages 31-32;

He gives his methods for getting traffic beginning on page 33;

Several of his actual letters that made him money – these are scattered through the book:

On Page 48 he reveals some really good affiliate programs that pay well and make good sales – I will tell you here and now that I have never seen any other marketer reveal this sort of stuff. So these things get Guru Slayer the thumbs up.

Once you put all this together, you will see that here is something that will help you make money on the internet. I recommend the Guru Slayer so long as you are ready to build a list of subscribers, and want to build a business.

On the other hand, if you want to start making money straight away, I recommend Day Job Killer. The methods Chris uses can be duplicated by anyone, and so long as you keep a tight control of your advertising budget, you can make good money with the minimum of 'stuff'.
