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.
It seems like every time I turn around there is a new affiliate marketing course being created.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but, with all the courses out there it sometimes becomes difficult to determine which ones to trust.
If you have been with Fruitful Income for a while then you probably have read my reviews on other affiliate marketing courses: 12 Minute Affiliate, Super Affiliate Network, Super Affiliate System, etc.
All of these courses are good in their own right, yet they are all extremely different.
After all, each course creator has their own tricks and ways of going about affiliate marketing.
So, the question really becomes, which affiliate course works best for you? Which one, if any, will help you achieve success?
In today’s post, I’m going to give you yet another review by taking a look at Robby Blanchard’s Commission Hero.
I have read many great things about this course and have seen pretty solid evidence validating its methods. But, I still wanted to take a look at this course from an unbiased perspective.
We’ll take a quick look at what I like and dislike about Commission Hero and then we’ll ultimately decide whether Commission Hero is the right course for you.
So, while I have your attention, let’s get into my Commission Hero Review.
Robby Blanchard, as previously stated, is the creator of the Commission Hero program.
And, what’s cool about Robby, is that he is actually labeled as “the #1 ClickBank affiliate in the world.”
This means that he is not only generating a lot of money but he also probably knows what he’s talking about.
To make things more interesting, Robby hasn’t been in the affiliate marketing game for too long. In a matter of five years, he taught himself everything he knows about affiliate marketing and has climbed the ranks as an affiliate.
Before becoming a top affiliate, Robby actually owned his very own CrossFit gym and worked as a personal trainer.
It wasn’t until after Robby discovered the power of Facebook Ads that he started seeing massive success with affiliate marketing.
Just from listening to Robby talk, I got the impression that he is a very down-to-earth guy.
This is a nice change from the other “gurus” on the internet who flaunt their wealth.
The thing about affiliate marketing courses is that they aren’t for everyone. Here are some of the people Commission Hero claims to be made for:
I’m sure this list isn’t exhaustive but if you fall into any of these categories then perhaps this is the ideal program for you.
According to Robin Blanchard, Commission Hero is
This “Simple 3-Step System” is the exact system Robby uses to generate affiliate commissions on ClickBank through the promotion of Facebook ads.
In order to use this system, it’s also said you don’t need your own Web site, your own product, an e-mail list or experience.
Now, this is a pretty bold claim to make, and its one that we hear all too often.
Of course, we have no reason to doubt Robby, but whenever statements like that are made, it’s tough not to think we’re dealing with a scam.
When it comes to pricing, Commission Hero is not cheap.
For $997(one-time payment), you can purchase Robby’s course. However, if that’s too expensive for you, you can make a two-time payment of $597.
When looking at this hefty price tag, you must keep in mind that it is an investment.
You are aren’t simply paying for a course. You are paying to learn the strategies of a millionaire.
This doesn’t make spending the money any less pleasant. But, looking at it as a self-investment, not simply buying an expensive digital product, helps.
Fortunately, If Commission Hero doesn’t work for you, there is also a money-back guarantee. But, with that being said, you only get your money back after you have tried Commission Hero for 12 months.
For some people, this might not be the most ideal policy but I understand why Robby chose it.
He wants his customers to put forth the proper time and effort before simply writing his course off. All too often, we buy a product and if we don’t get the desired results, we give up on it.
With this course, you need to be serious and ready to build an online business.
If you know that you would be one of the ones to give up on it after a few weeks then I suggest you find a different course.
If you are ready to put in the hard work that this course requires, here is a quick rundown of what you can expect from Commission Hero.
The course is set up with a series of modules that you will go through:
Module #1 – Welcome
Module #2 – Getting Started
Module #3 – Choosing The Right Offers
Module #4 – Finding Your Ad Image
Module #5 – Setting Up A Landing Page
Module #6 – Setting Up Facebook
Module #7 – Setting Up Facebook Pixel
Module #8 – Tracking Your Campaign
Module #9 – Scaling
Module #10 – Ninja Tactics
Module #11 – Bonuses
Module #12 – Spotlight Offers
Module #13 – Exclusive Extra Bonus
Module #14 – Inner Circle Coaching
Now that you have the general outline of the course, let’s break down each module a bit further.
The first module, as the title suggests, is a quick introduction to Commission Hero and Robby himself. During the welcome module, the groundwork is laid out for you so you know what to expect in the course.
Module two gives you a quick idea of how affiliate marketing works and goes over the tools you’ll be using in the course, two of which are Facebook ads and Clickfunnels.
Basically, Robby is preparing you for the course ahead and setting a level of expectation.
This module covers one of the major stumbling blocks new affiliates run into, choosing the right products to promote?
Robby goes over how to choose products to get the highest commissions and he does so by giving two product examples: Flat Belly Fix and Lean Belly Breakthrough
When it comes to advertising, your ad creative can make or break your sales. Robby goes over what a good ad image contains and how to use this to your advantage when running Facebook ads.
For those who don’t have a single creative bone in their body, Robby also gives tips on finding the best designers on outsourcing sites like Fiverr.
This is where things become more technical. In this module, students learn how to set up a landing page with a “call to action button”
You also learn how to register for the same landing builder Robby uses, ClickFunnels.
Note: After ClickFunnels’ two-week free trial, you can expect a $97 a month fee to be added to your bill.
Because Commission Hero’s strategies revolve around paid traffic, you will have to set up Facebook ads.
Module 6 teaches you how to set up all aspects of your Facebook: Business manager, Fan page, Ads, and campaigns.
You also learn the importance of a custom audience and, to tie it all together, Robby shows you what a successful Facebook campaign looks like.
Module 7 is truly where the fun begins. Here, you learn the power of the almighty, Facebook Pixel.
This is Facebook’s analytics tool that allows you to measure the effectiveness of your advertising by understanding the actions people take on your website.
This tool is the engine that runs the whole system. Without the Facebook Pixel, you wouldn’t be able to effectively retarget your audience.
Here is where you learn how to track the visitors that click your ad campaign. This is crucial in getting the most out of the money you spend on advertising.
This where you learn how to take your successful Facebook ads, the ones that are converting, and scale them up to drive more traffic and make more money.
This section, known as Ninja Tactics, is where you learn tips and tricks to set yourself apart from other marketers.
In this module, you learn how to spy on your competitors’ Facebook ads, how to finance ads with a credit card, and how to deal with Facebook when they shut down your ad account (it’s bound to happen at least once.)
Here you get the same tools and content that Robby uses to run his ClickBank business. Although these modules include “bonuses” and special deals for you to access, don’t be surprised to see some upsells as well.
Lastly, this module provides access to the Commission Hero Facebook group, a community of people who also use the course.
As you can see, Commission Hero has tons of content included with it, as it should considering the price you pay.
Here are a few things I like about Commission Hero
Commission Hero teaches the Affiliate marketing business model, which is a tried and tested method of making money. You as the affiliate get to promote Robby’s course, you are given all the training, and all the support you will need in order to promote Commission Hero.
And, on top of that, Robby shows you how to run traffic and find the perfect target audience for his product.
Commission Hero comes with a ton of ready-made tools for you to use.
Most of the material is stuff Robby has used and been successful with. This is good if you are some who struggles with creating ads or building funnels.
Robby removes the hassle of testing ad copies and ad images and instead provides ones for you to use.
Another ideal part about Commission Hero is the Facebook training that it comes built-in with.
Let me tell you if you haven’t done Facebook ads before, it’s not the simplest thing in the world; there are so many variables that you have to consider.
Robby gives you full Facebook training on how to set the right ads to scale your business and generate a profit. Therefore, you won’t be left guessing whether your ads are converting or not.
With affiliate marketing, you want to be able to reach out to people who are either going through the process with you or have been through it already.
In Commission Hero, you have access to a Facebook community of like-minded people, who share your goals and ambitions.
This becomes useful when you have questions or need help. There will be people available and willing to assist you.
Robby Blanchard probably provides the most value to Commission Hero because he is a wildly successful coach and mentor.
I can’t think of a more ideal person to guide someone through the affiliate marketing process.
When purchasing a course, ideally you want to learn from someone who is where you want to be and has gotten the results you want. Robby is definitely that guy.
I know I mentioned this briefly above, but, the 12-month money-back guarantee is still a positive feature.
It’s good to know if Commission Hero doesn’t work for you that you can get your money back.
Your options when purchasing Commission Hero are as follows:
It seems like a positive in my book, either way, you look at it.
Here are some things about Commission Hero that I don’t necessarily care for and that you need to consider.
Commission Hero’s strategy relies heavily on Facebook Ads, meaning you will have to spend money on top of your initial purchase.
Don’t get me wrong, Facebook is an excellent way to get traffic; but, it’s also very expensive and the cost continues to rise.
Once you get the hang of using Facebook ads, your profit will eventually make up for the amount you spend on ads, but this can take a while.
Check out this Commission Hero Review where it takes this guy several months before becoming profitable. Also, pay close attention to how much he spends on ads to reach those figures.
If you are someone already on a budget, this can be a difficult pill to swallow. I wish Robby could have included other traffic methods to use for those of us who don’t have tons of money to throw into ad testing.
Previously, I mentioned that Robby provides all of the tools you need to be successful and I still stand by that statement.
However, I don’t want you to think there will be no work on your part if you choose Commission Hero. There definitely will be.
You will be the one setting things up: running the ads, making the tweaks to your campaigns, monitoring your site and conversions
Even with a point and click system like Commission Hero, you can still expect to have your hands full.
The last issue I found with Commission Hero is the same issue I have found with other affiliate marketing courses in the past.
There always appears to be little to no mention of email marketing tactics.
To be fair, I could have missed Robby talking about it. But, even then, a course this expensive should have an extensive email marketing strategy.
I don’t know if you guys are aware, but most people won’t buy on the first encounter with your product, which is why it’s important to capture leads.
Once you get those leads, you can then retarget and resell to customers through emails. Robby, however, doesn’t mention this.
Emailing leads is perhaps the most important part of affiliate marketing and Robby seems to glaze right over it.
It makes me wonder how his system works when it comes to email marketing.
Overall, Commission Hero is a solid course that doesn’t give any indication of being a scam.
It takes affiliate marketing, the best business model, and completely transforms it into Robby’s very own profit-building system.
Of course, like any business, there will be work required from you. But, I think if you are willing to put forth the effort and stay committed to this system, you will see huge results.
Receiving guidance and instruction from Robby Blanchard is perhaps the biggest upside to the entire course. Not only is he a great affiliate marketer, but he is also a fantastic mentor.
I honestly can’t think of anyone better to learn from other than the #1 ClickBank affiliate in the world.
Ultimately, I recommend Commission Hero to those with an Ad Spend Budget who don’t mind Inheriting the risk upfront!
If the cost of Commission Hero is too much for you, I recommend you try other affiliate courses like 12 Minute Affiliate System or Wealthy Affiliate.
12 Minute Affiliate System is another point and click system that costs significantly less than Commission Hero. You can read more about it in my review here.
Wealthy Affiliate, on the other hand, comes with a paid and free option. I have found that newer affiliates get the most out of this program. If that is you, then, by all means, check it out.
Anyways, I hope this blog provided you with the information you were looking for on this product.
Let me known if Commission Hero resonates with you or do you prefer a different product?
Understand that not every course out there is right for you and that’s okay.
