I had come to know about it from a friend's email who
also mentioned that even Allan Gardyne, the recognized
master of affiliate programs, recommended it.
Now when Allan says something, you sit up and listen.
So more because of Allan than my friend I looked at it
and was instantly disappointed.
Even without joining 5 Pillar I could see that it was a
revenue sharing program like any other. You got paid
when you sold SiteSell products.
Allan Praised 5 Pillar
But...
Of course, Allan was there along with other biggies
raving about it. But what turned me off was the sop of
getting Site Build It! - a site building product - at
half price for yourself if you sell it once as an
affiliate. Wasn't I being pitched even before earning a
single cent?
This was as bad as, if not worse than, other programs and I had seen many
in my days. All this happened at the time when after
failing at countless affiliate programs I was ready to
give up. I was going broke paying internet bills.
Selling apples on the sidewalk looked a better option
than chasing internet marketing.
I had almost forgotten all this when my friend emailed
me asking how I was doing with 5 Pillar. I was furious.
I gave him a piece of my mind, telling him I didn't have
time to waste chasing hot air. I was sick of joining
affiliate programs.
His reply was instant and furious-er even -
"Nissar, Don't sell or buy a single SiteSell product if
you don't want - though I will say Site Build It!
could be the best thing in your situation. Don't join 5
Pillar even. Just look at its training program 6th Pillar.
No, you don't have to join it to see what it is. And
download Affiliate Masters Course. Allan Gardyne
likes it a lot."
Ah, Allan Gardyne again! By now Allan's popularity
rating with me had got a severe beating. So this time it
was because of my friend that I looked at
6th Pillar
- more so because I didn't have to join it. Have a look
and forget if it turned out to be a dud.
The Surprising 6th
Pillar
But here I was in for a surprise. Without any commitment
6 Pillar was doing for me no other program had ever
done. It showed me how to get targeted traffic in a
step-by-step 8-day process. This was what I was seeking
all along. Because without this skill, I was not making
headway even with such easy-to-earn programs as paid a
few cents if I got people to subscribe to a free
newsletter.
Then I went through Getting Started Action Guide and the
5 Pillar Manual that I got free on joining
5 Pillar.
Here were countless ways of building online business
which I would never have thought up by myself.
And to top it all was the
Affiliate Masters Course.
Allan Gardyne soared in my esteem with every page of
this free manual. He hadn't uttered a single untrue word
when he praised the book. Here Ken Evoy had revealed all
the secrets of making a successful website all by
yourself without anybody's help. However if you wanted
to concentrate on building your online business without
the hassle of building a traffic-pulling, earning
website, there was the
Site Build It!
at your service.
Did all this help me? I won't say I am making thousands
a month though I am on the way, hopefully. That is, if I
apply the techniques that are there.
But this much I can tell you for sure:
I am not selling apples on the sidewalk nor am I upset
when the internet bill turns up in my mailbox.
And I stand chastened. I have learned my lesson: You
don't fight with your best friend or Allan Gardyne. When they say something,
you listen and do their bidding.
