Hello there sea changers and welcome back to your home of all things affiliate marketing – today I am going to take you through my Social Traffic Revolution Review and ask if it can help you generate traffic? I came across this training program during some research into social media and traffic generation for another post. And as I am a strong believer in the fact that you can never get too much training, I decided to check it out.

For this review, I will run you through:

• What it is
• How it works
• Pros and Cons
• Cost
• My recommendations

Can it help you generate traffic? – look, as I have said, I am a beleiver in constantly sourcing training to assist you with your affiliate marketing journey – especially something that can assist you in generating more internet traffic. The training is very light on but based on proven, sound processes and for the initial $7.95 cost (although it appears that this may be a new release price before it increases to $47) it is possible that it could.

My real concern after purchasing and exploring this package however is that you may be paying for things that you can find online and on YouTube for free. I also question whether someone who is totally new to affiliate marketing could pick this up and build a business with it as stated within their promo material as there are a lot of unexplained gaps in the training. With some polish, this could become a good addition to any affiliate marketing training, but as is I am not so sure, especially if the price rises as suggested. Anyway, please read on as I explain my comments above:

What is it?

Social Media Traffic Revolution is a series of training videos designed to assist you in gaining high levels of targeted traffic to your websites via the use of social media and email lists (similar to other programs such as Slick and Multisocifit)- both of which are proven and valid methods of achieving this. Its focus is on the identification of a free giveaway that can be promoted to potential site visitors via a funnel, FaceBook ads and emails to your lists. Again, these are not new processes, however ones that have been proven to work in the past.

What do you get?

Within the initial $7.95 offering, you get access to 8 videos with a downloadable, extremely basic word document attached to video 1 and access to their own sales funnel after video 3 (as long as you have ClickFunnels – or sign up to ClickFunnels via their affiliate links). Here is my outline of what you get:

Video 1 – Selecting Your 6 Figure – Blue Ocean

This video takes you through the identification of a valid niche for your new website. You are taken through the attached Google Word Doc on the video with some explanations. The information is very high level without a lot of tangible explanation.

Video 2: Finding your giveaway

Here you are taken through the process of identifying a tangible product to give away that builds you an email list and drives traffic to your site. This video I found quite interesting and if you had a marketing cash budget, it is a process that could ethically work.

Video 3 – The Two-Page Lead Capture Funnel

Runs through the exact sales funnel that these guys use in their own promotions (which by the way, was broken when I started through it). You are given access to copy the funnel for your own purposes – ClickFunnels account required.

Video 4: Facebook Ad Basics

Demonstrates the FaceBook Ad creation pages and runs you through the creation of ads including content and target market segmentation. Not a bad step by step tuition video.

Video 5: Facebook Ad Creation

Here you are taken through the creation of a FaceBook Ad image in Canva which is then added to the ad template already created in Video 4.

Video 6: Facebook Ad KPIs

You are referred back to the Google Word document you downloaded on Video 1 and run through the basics of Facebook ROI analysis including:

• CPL – Cost Per Lead
• MSV – Monthly Subscriber Value
• DPL – Dollar Per Lead
• DPA – Dollar Per Attendee
• DPOS – Dollar Per Offer Shown

This video I also found quite helpful as this is something that is not always explained to people when they enter the world of Facebook advertising.

Video 7: Email List Management

Assuming you have an email list created (which if you are newbie you probably will not), this video continues on from Video 2 where it talks about building on the giveaway emails to you list to drive traffic back to your affiliate sites. It discusses the use of email swipes in your campaigns as well which admittedly are good skills to have.

Video 8: From This Day Forward

I actually liked the content of this video (although the production again is just running through the word doc) as it discusses the processes required to continue to be successful within this space and that it will not happen overnight. Any program that highlights that this is not a get rich quick process has to get at least one tick in my book.

Bonus Video – Saul’s Affiliate Marketing Masterclass

Talks you through step by step the process on identifying and promoting new product launches on Warrior +. To be honest, if this is where you see yourself doing the most of your affiliate marketing work, then the video will certainly be useful to you.

Do I recommend it?

In short, No. There is some good information in there however there is not a lot to be honest that I saw that you could not find for free elsewhere in the internet. The theory is sound and proven but the content is light on and obviously released on a ‘just enough’ basis to entice you into the higher ticket upsells available. This in itself is not a concern but I would like to have seen a little more value in the initial offering – i.e. more that just a simple word doc as a workbook download.

For $7.95, if have some experience in this field and you are looking for someone to talk you through the world of FaceBook ads and the identification of free offers to target markets (I really did like this part of the training) then you could certainly do worse than this program. If the price rose to $47 as I have seen in their launch documentation however I do fail to see the value in the current offering. I will however keep an eye on this as it really does look like it could build itself into something worthwhile with a little more ‘polish’.

How does it compare to my #1 Recommendation?

As I have said, if you looking for some assistance in the creation of FaceBook ads and targeted free offer processes then I think Social Traffic Revolution may be able to provide some value (at its current price). However, if you are completely new to the whole website building and online selling caper or looking to build a solid, sustainable business, then I recommend that you give Wealthy Affiliate a try.
