As of today I’ve published 253 affiliate marketing articles on CharlesNgo.com since 2012. This is a secretive industry and I’ve done my best to help guys like you out any way I can.
I have noticed some small problems.

1. That’s a lot of content…it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and suffer from information overload.
2. There’s not a guide that breaks everything down into a step by step method from the beginning.

In 2016 I launched a course called the Newbie FastTrack…and I gave it away for free.
It was a huge success. A lot of people hit their first profitable campaigns because of it.
But then I closed down registration for a year.

• I wanted to make the content even better
• The design and layout of the content needed a ton of work
• There needed to be more images, examples, and flow to maximize your learning

So over the past few months, I’ve been working nonstop on a reboot.
I had one goal:

Make this guide the best newbie course about affiliate marketing ever.

And you guys know me…
When I say I’m doing something, it’s gonna be next level. We spent a ton of money overhauling it and this took the efforts of 7+ people.
This is the guide I wish I had when I first started in affiliate marketing.
We had an internal debate whether to keep it closed and charge money for it – But I made the call to keep it 100% free…

Thanks to Advidi!

The team at Advidi were a huge help in putting the guide together.
The design, coding, etc. wasn’t free, and there was a ton of project management that went into this.
If you haven’t heard of Advidi before, they are one of the big affiliate networks I work with.
Here are a few reasons why:

1. Advidi have offers in 144 GEOs (and expanding)
2. They’ve paid out $91 million + to affiliates since their inception
3. Super optimized cloud servers (offer pages load faster = more conversions)
4. They focus on 4 main verticals: Dating, Casino, Mainstream, Health and Beauty

Advidi are based in Amsterdam, but they hit all of the big affiliate marketing events around the world so you can catch up with your affiliate managers regularly.
If you’re after a solid network that’s Ngo-Recommended, sign up with Advidi and test some of their offers.

Who is The Ultimate Guide to Affiliate Marketing For?

1. Originally it was to help newbies learn about affiliate marketing.
2. But then I wanted to help those same people launch their first campaign.
3. Then I wanted to make sure that the people who launch their first campaign can optimize it…

If you’re already making 10k per day you might not find too much you don’t already know. But it’s always good to re-visit the basics.
If you’re making less than $500 per day, this course is gonna be a HUGE help.

• If you’re struggling to stay motivated, the mindset section will be huge for you.
• Maybe you’re just wanting to make sure you’re on the right track – then the sections on traffic sources and verticals will be the sections to hit first.
• If you’re wanting to turn a losing campaign around, some sections will be more helpful than others, like optimizing, angles, landing pages, copywriting etc.
