Comprehensive Super Affiliate System Review From Someone Who Quit

When I first started in online marketing, I was intrigued by an YouTube Ad from Stuart Ross showing his freedom digital lifestyle on the beach. I then joined his company Six Figure Mentors (SFM) and that was my first online venture where I lost quite a lot of money. Eventually, I quite SFM 5 months after joining.

​Recently I came across John Crestani's YouTube Video Ad which is very similar to the one put up by Stuart. He showed his wonderful lifestyle with Lamborghini and traveling around the world while making massive income online. (John is the founder of the Super Affiliate System.)

But this time, I am already an experienced affiliate marketer so I have a very clear view on what John is doing and what tricks he is using. 

I decided to follow his business funnel and take a deeper look at what he has to offer.

The Most Comprehensive Super Affiliate System Review

Following their business funnel means that I followed their instructions like a complete newbie. I also spent the money required to join his company and analyze the whole system to have a really detailed insider look.

After hours of analysis and research, I'd finally compiled all the information needed to put up this comprehensive review for John's Super Affiliate System (SAS). (I signed up for his webinar, paid and went through his training, etc...)

For your information, the total cost for this system is USD$234. So, the cost of writing this review is more than $234!

Given that, this will be a long review on SAS but you can expect it to be an epic one!

At the end, I have a comparison ​between SAS and my #1 Recommended Online Business. I'm sure this post will help you make the best decision for yourself.

​I did these because of YOU! I don't review anything that I've never tried before.

​He has created a successful online business selling health products on his website Nutryst.com. It also includes an affiliate network which allows people to join as affiliates and sell his products.

Afterwards, he brought his knowledge and skills over to create Super Affiliate System, the platform where he teach people how to succeed in the same way as he did.​ This is also the main focus of our review today!

According to Forbes, he claimed that he is earning at least $500k per month and it is still increasing.​

His success story is featured in various platforms including Forbes, Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, Inc Magazine and Home Business Magazine.

My First Impression

​To be honest, when I first came across his YouTube Video, I was pretty skeptical about the business he was talking about because the method he uses is exactly the same as many other scammers online.

It reminded me about my feeling for my first online venture with Six Figure Mentors​, which was somewhat a failure.

He featured his freedom lifestyle around the world and also show​ed his Lamborghini. I'm not sure whether it is a coincidence or not but it seems like "scammers love Lambos"!

Wait! I'm not saying he is a scammer yet. It's just a common strategy many scammers use. Given this, my first impression was bad.​

So I decided to follow through the funnel and wanted to clarify my doubts.​

Some Unethical Business Behaviors in the Past​

His current success story is widely spread on the Internet but he also had some unethical backgrounds.

Firstly, he used his technical skills to acquire test answers from his University for all the online courses. Not only that, he sold the information to other students and earned $1,000 in a day. He was suspended from school afterwards for his illicit act.

Secondly, ​this happened to his first entrepreneurial venture by selling products on eBay.

He ran a successful online business on eBay and was making $1,000 to $2,000 per month. But the products he was selling were not approved by PayPal so his business was closed down and the PayPal Security Team was involved in an investigation.

Although unethical business ​behaviors in the past do not mean his current business is the same, this still shows that this person may not be truly honest and ethical in his mindset and business.

I may be wrong but the past facts cannot be denied. It's just something I think everyone should be aware of.​

In the next section, I'm going to quickly dive into the SAS system​ and show you the exact funnel John is using to make sales...

​Above is a simple flow chart which I created after going through the system myself.

Funnel Step 1:

​The beginning of his funnel starts from generating traffic. He uses quite a number of ways to generate traffic which include both paid and free sources. 

Some paid ones include YouTube Ads, Facebook Ads and Google Adword. Free ones are organic traffic from search engines, YouTube and Facebook.​

Funnel Step 2 & 3:

After that, he drives all the traffic to one single landing page which is the Webinar registration page. He wants everyone to go through his 1 hr+ Webinar​ first before purchasing the Internet Jetset Program which is the product he is selling.

​Because of that, it's hard to find out what's the program and what's the price of the program before attending the Webinar.

He doesn't provide the information elsewhere.

The only place where he wants people to purchase is at the end of his Webinar. That's why his Webinar is full of salesy pitches, using various means to persuade people to buy after the Webinar.

And yes, I went through the 1 hour plus Webinar and purchased the program just for YOU!

(By the way, the way he sell both of his products is via ClickBank.)

Funnel Step 4:

Immediately after ​I purchased the $47 program, I was led to another page selling his Jetset Xtreme Case Study Archive which costs $187.

I was really surprised by the immediate upsell here because people seldom promote their upsell so fast.​

There's a little story here​ which pissed me off...

Initially, I didn't intend to purchase the $187 upsell because I thought that the $47 program was enough for me to analyze the system.

When I clicked "Give me access to the $187 program", I was expecting a page where there are more information about the program and I can choose my payment method!

But when the page loaded finish, I was SHOCKED! 

The message on the page shows "Thank you for purchasing..."

I just spent another $187 for the upsell which I didn't want! I was shocked and the feeling quickly turned into anger.

What just happened was that by clicking the button, ClickBank automatically used my previous payment method I entered for the $47 to purchase the upsell.​

I haven't even look into the training itself but I already had a really bad impression!​

Since I've purchased the products unintentionally, I ​told myself that I might as well study the system really closely and write an epic review.

​After going through the funnel and understanding more about John, I'm sure you have been curious about the exact details of the Internet Jetset Course he has been pitching about.

Is it really a great course? Or is it another Internet scam like I'd been guessing? 

​Course Details: The 3 Main Components

In this section, I'm going to give you the details for all the features first. I'll then analyze them at "The Good & The Bad" section after this.

(1) 12-Week Step-by-Step Course

Internet Jetset is a 12-week course which has 50+ hours of training videos in total, including daily tasks and assignments.

This course was released in Feb 2016 which is a relatively new course.​

Below is an overview of the 12-week course:​

(2) JetsetLIVE

​JetsetLIVE is a monthly Live Webinar hosted by John to offer extra guidance and tips related to online marketing.

(3) Xtreme Case Study Archive

​As you would have known by now, this is the $187 upsell.

With this $187 one-time investment, you have access to quite a few case studies on some niche markets and some marketing examples.

Other Secondary Features

1. Email Support

Having a support system is very crucial for any online platforms today.

They do offer Email support for all members. But due to the fact that it is an Email support, it really takes a long time to receive their response.

So basically, you can't get your problems solved fast!​

2. Jetset Forum

This is a very ordinary forum which allows Jetset members to discuss and share stuffs related to online business.

Nothing special or fancy about this forum. It's just a very ordinary forum you can imagine.​

Since it's an average and common forum, it requires another login process to access the forum which is a bit troublesome.​

3. ​Affiliate Marketing Tools

One of the main disadvantage of SAS is that it doesn't have any of their own tools. All the tools in this list are links to external websites and software.

It's for sure that you need quite a number of essential tools to run a successful affiliate marketing business. For example, web hosting, keyword tool, website builder, etc. These are just the basic ones.

Super Affiliate System even claimed that you can earn commission immediately within 2 hours. But this so-called 'system' only has the training part. They doesn't provide any tools themselves or any form of technical assistence.

What's more shocking to me is that...

They simply put an affiliate link to the different external services and tools on their tools page.

This further penalizes the system in my heart.

I'm not saying they can't use affiliate links. What I felt was that they didn't put in any effort in this area.

Without offering some of their own tools ​is already a disadvantage in this Internet Marketing industry.

They simply put a naked affiliate link without any efforts to explain or guide people regarding the tool.

Really disappointed!​

Pricing

​I think by now you should know this very well already.

​The Internet Jetset course costs $47. If you wish you have access to the JetsetLIVE monthly Webinar, then you need to pay $47 every month.

From my experience, the payment is set to $47/month recurring when you first make the purchase by default, unless you cancel the recurring payments by contacting their support.

There's an enigma though...

I don't know whether you can still access to the 12-week training videos after the first month if you stop paying monthly. There's no way to find out unless you try it. I can't find any information about that as well.

There's this enigma because they explicitly said that the recurring $47 per month is for access to JetsetLIVE.​

The​ Good

1. Step-by-Step Training

​The good part about this product is that the 12-week training videos are step-by-step. They are planned out in the way that allows people to follow easily and get started quickly.

There are also quite a lot of quality and valuable content for complete beginners.​

2. Pre-built Templates of Ads, Landing pages & campaign

This can be both good and bad.

Having pre-built templates allows newbies to quickly get started.

However, "templates" ​not only limit the creativity of people but may also hurt Google rankings as the contents are sometimes the same.

3. ​Money-Back Guarantee

​They claims that they have a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the course.

If they are able to offer this guarantee, it's a good sign that the courses are at least above average.

For your information, after a few days of waiting, I've successfully gotten my refund.

The Bad

​1. Unrealistic Claim

SAS claims that you can earn your first commission in less than 2 hours.

As an experienced online marketer, I can confidently tell you that this is IMPOSSIBLE! 

Even if you are using the best platform, tools and support, it is impossible for a complete newbie to earn commissions within 2 hours after getting started in an ethical way.​

And they are promising you to start earning $100, $250 or even $1,000 in their first week.

Just by judging on this unrealistic point, I can conclude that SAS is a scam. They are promising things that are impossible to achieve in an ethical way.​

In fact, there's a steep learning curve when getting started with online marketing. Complete newbies need ​a lot of time, learning and hard work to start getting the grasp of it.

2 hours?... Stop scamming!​

(By the way, there's a point in the Webinar that John said this is not a "Get Rich Quick" scheme. But afterwards, he is promising people to earning commission within 2 hours. Isn't that contradicting?)​

There's some more to this...

Check out this screenshot of my inbox:

You can see that the follow-up Emails from John Crestani are all Emails promising to "make money quick" and how to do that.

"From zero to at least $100 by Monday", "15 minutes into $45.25"...

You know what...These are the methods that scammers use to scam beginners.

If you have some experience in online marketing or if you just have a little bit of common sense​, you will know that all these are just empty promises to keep members interested.

There may be real people attaining it but it's just ONE example and it may not even from a complete beginner. You get where am I coming from?

​Legitimate systems don't offer promises on how much money you can make within a certain period of time.

Legitimate systems promise you what education and training they can offer you and how you can benefit in terms of knowledge and skills.

Can you see the difference now?​

2. No Tools Provided

​As I've mentioned, Super Affiliate System only offers video training but NO tools to help you get started.

Instead, they give you affiliate links to external tools without explaining how to use them.

​3. Average Support

​Again, their Email support is nothing special. It's a very ordinary support which takes very long to get a reply.

However, support is one of the most important area you need to run your online business because ​there are a lot of occasions where you need the technical skills of the support team to help you remedy your problems.

Without quality support, you will sure get stuck somewhere and get frustrated.​

4. Very very "Salesy"

​This one is very serious, especially at the beginning.

​Undeniably, John is good at talking and persuading people.

At the second step of the funnel where he host a webinar to sell his Internet Jetset, he kept on emphasizing his lifestyle, his success and the benefits of Internet Marketing.

Other than that, he has a lot of testimonials to show and he always like to show off his Lamborghini and Digital Lifestyle.

From all these facts, you can see that John is very salesy. These are the common indications of a scam.

​Wealthy Affiliate (WA) is my #1 Recommended platform for affiliate marketing.

Let me quickly show you some of the comparisons and you'll see how awesome Wealthy Affiliate is...​

The above table is a very simple comparison for the two platforms and you can clearly see the differences and who is the winner.

​So, if you are looking for online money making opportunities or you are looking for affiliate marketing platforms specifically, I would highly recommend you to try out Wealthy Affiliate.

It's FREE to join (as compared to SAS which doesn't allow you to try for Free) and it will allow you to have a much stronger foundation in online marketing business, given the various tools and support they have.

From my experience, WA's step-by-step training is a lot more thorough and in-depth than SAS.​

After my thorough analysis, I'm sure it's very clear that Super Affiliate System is a scam despite it has an above average step-by-step training video. (That is the main and only selling point.)

What I would conclude about SAS is that it's just a "training resource" and not a "system". I think this is the best conclusion I can give for this program.​

​Nevertheless, SAS is still relatively new so it still has a long way to go. It may become better in the future, who knows?

At the moment, SAS is NOT the best option for beginners. Although you can learn a lot of valuable knowledge as a beginner in SAS, you will most probably get lost and stuck somewhere due to the weak platform and support.

This was also what I experienced in my first online venture with Six Figure Mentors. I learnt a lot of knowledge from the system because I was a complete newbie.

But after a few months, I was not going anywhere and I was lost and stuck.

This will probably be the situation in the case of Super Affiliate System as well.

Finally, we've come to the end of this long and thorough review of SAS.

I've put in hours and hours of research and spent $234 to come out with this insider review.​ I hope it has been very helpful in making your decision.
