Super Affiliate System Review – Scam or Legit?
Super Affiliate System Review
19 August 2020 Latest Update: As mentioned yesterday, I have been tracking this. John Crestani’s YouTube channel is back. Netizens and YouTubers are still wondering what happened?
18 August 2020 Update: This is super crazy. I was just checking my posts to make sure all ok. And then I saw that the videos by John Crestani that I have embedded in this article have an error message that said it cannot be embeded.
Curious to find out what happened, I followed the link to the YouTube video. And Wow! The entire John Crestani channel has been deleted!
What happened!??
YouTube and the Internet is buzzing about this in the last few hours. So many theories are going off. Some said he deleted his own channel. Some said YouTube shut him down.
Whichever it is, I thought I update all of you. Also, with his channel gone, we do not know what next can disappear – his own website? His Super Affiliate System course?
For now, his course and websites are still there. I checked. But let’s see. Meanwhile, do be cautious. Although I have given this program a 3.8 rating over 5 recently, I will follow up and see if it needs to be updated again.
According to IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau), affiliate marketing is a global industry that is worth $12 billion. And growing. Is it any wonder why more and more people are looking to this method of making money online?
And is it any wonder that there are more courses now, and more coming soon, teaching how to do affiliate marketing. Today, in this article – Super Affiliate System Review – Scam or Legit?, we discuss about one such course.
What is it all about? Who is the teacher? How much does it cost? What will you learn from this course? Is it suitable for you?
I share all this in this review. Plus, what I think of this course, and my advice to you if it is the one for you.

Who Owns Super Affiliate System?
Super Affiliate System is owned by John Crestani. He has been doing internet marketing for years. And claimed to have made millions.
Previously, he had a course called Internet Jetset, also known as IM Jetset. It taught doing online business with free traffic. For example, free traffic from SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Then he created the Super Affiliate System. He had mastered paid traffic methods, and teaches that in this course. The first version was released some years back. And it cost $5,000 then. Today, with version 3.0, you get it at a much affordable rate. See the Prices and Packages section below.
Here is a video from his YouTube channel, featuring John.
What Are The Packages & Prices For Super Affiliate System?
You can pay a one-time fee of $997 or 3 monthly payments at $397.
From what I understand, this is payment for a lifetime membership.
This is good because John constantly updates the course with fresh and updated content and training.
Who Is Super Affiliate System For?
This training program can appeal to the following:
Beginners
The course is known to be easy to follow. As such, if you are new to affiliate marketing, this is ideal for you.
Entrepreneurs Struggling to Make Money
You have an online business but have not been able to make money or making very little money from it. This course can help turn things around for you. You may find some new things to learn. And you can implement them. Plus, you can seek advice from John and the community, too.
What Are The Prerequisites For Super Affiliate System?
You will need to have at least a computer and Internet access to watch the online video training.
Do take notes, and apply what you learned, and you will be well on your way to success.
What Do You Get With Super Affiliate System?
The entire training program is comprehensive. You get over 50 hours worth of video training, worksheets, resources, and more. Watch the video below if you do not have time to read. John does an insider tour of the program.
Update 19 August 2020: The channel and video is back. Which is good because you get to see him give you a tour that explains what this course is about.
Update 18 August 2020: Unfortunately, as mentioned above, John’s YouTube channel is gone. And as such, the video below with him sharing the details of the progam is also gone.
Previously, this program was designed with 6 weeks of training. Now, with the latest version, John has made it such that the training are in different modules. After you finish the training for a module, the next one opens up.
The training in the modules include lessons from affiliate marketing to setting up funnels to solo ads, YouTube ads, Facebook Ads, and Google Ads. Also, he teaches you skills that you will require to succeed in affiliate marketing; such as research, copywriting, data analysis, analytics, split testing, strategy planning, troubleshooting, scaling your business, etc.
Everything is explained step by step. You will never be left guessing how to start and do this business. Each module also has a worksheet that is like an assignment. These are exercises for you to do, and help you to learn.
One thing I noted in the video above, is that John was honest in admitting that the training in his course can be found for free online. But, instead of taking time and effort to hunt for the training content, he has made it all available in one program.
He also structures the information so that it is easier for you to learn. Of course, there is also his added input of his experience with affiliate marketing.
There are also Show Me How videos that are step by step instructions on how to get help and support as well as how to do some of the stuff you have learned.
Welcome Module
For a start, you get a Welcome Module. This is the standard overview of the training, how does the lessons work, the dashboard, the resources, and some inspirational stuff to motivate you.
Then there are the training modules:
- Module 1 – Affiliate Networks
- Module 2 – Sales Funnel and Website
- Module 3 – Solo Ads
- Module 4 – Google Ads
- Module 5 – YouTube Ads
- Module 6 – Social Media Ads
- Module 7 – Finding Effective Ads
- Module 8 – Creating Great Ads
- Module 9 – Analytics and Split Testing
- Module 10 – Planning Your Strategy
- Module 11 – Accelerating Your Outcomes
- Module 12 – Troubleshooting
- Module 13 – Scaling Your Business
- Module 14 – Wrap Up
- Final Exam
The above training will teach you all about what affiliate marketing is. You will also learn about ClickBank, and how to join this digital marketplace. Then some lessons on how to set up your website, and lessons on presell pages.
You will also learn how to do paid ads such as solo ads, Google Ads, YouTube Ads, and Social Media Ads such as Facebook Ads. With ads, you will also learn how to do split testing and interpret analytics that will help you improve your campaigns. Further to that, you learn how to plan and strategize so as to scale your business.
What Else Do You Get With Super Affiliate System?
DFY (Done For You) Ad Campaigns
You will also get some templates of ad campaigns and landing pages. These are done for you, and ready for you to set up an ad campaign easily. They are done in a variety of niches such as weight loss, diet, skin care, muscle growth, etc.
Be careful of using DFY stuff. I would recommend use them as templates, and edit to your own original ad campaigns. Still, it is nice to have something to work from, especially if you are a beginner.
Website Hosting
When you purchase the program, you are given a free website and free hosting for 1 year.
This is quite a good offer. Web hosting can cost around $150 a year for the most basic package. From my experience, as your online business grows, you will eventually need more space and features.
And that can cost anywhere from $300 and above per year. Of course, depending on the hosting service provider you buy from. The good ones usually cost around that.
Still, do take note that this offer is only for 1 year service. The question to ask is how much will Super Affiliate System charge after?
Website Builder
There is also a website builder that comes with the program. You can use that to build your free website.
Landing Page Tool
Included with the website builder is the Landing Page Tool. This helps you to automatically create presell pages, also known as landing pages, with affiliate links added to it. Besides the landing page templates, you can actually create your own custom one.
Ad Posting Tool
Also included in website builder is the Ad Posting Tool. This tool helps you to post ads within minutes on Google, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. You will need to link up your social media accounts for this to work.

The training is conducted live. And you can interact with the trainer. Plus, you can ask questions on the spot, and get answers immediately.

Students can use the information to use the artificial intelligence (AI) and targeting algorithm of Facebook and Google to figure out where to find buyers.
Other helpful resources include top recommended affiliate networks, DFY presell pages, ad swipes and more. I highly recommend you watch the above video tour by John, where he provides more details about this.

This was not mentioned in the video above, but when you go to the landing page of this program, it mentions at some point that you will get this free product.

What Support Do You Get With Super Affiliate System?
From the many sites I visited, it appears that the support at Super Affiliate System is quite good.
There is a knowledge center where members can ask questions.
It is always updated. And sometimes, you may find John answering the questions himself.

There is a forum and a private Facebook group for the community to gather and support each other.
The Facebook group is private and for members only.

What are the Problems with Super Affiliate System?
RED FLAG! – Costly Paid Ads
This course teaches you how to get traffic through paid ads. As such, besides the money spent to buy the course, you need to spend more money to do these ads.
He does teach you to spend very little at the start. About $5 a day. And to scale up, that is spend more, only when the ad campaign proves profitable.
I attended a workshop that taught the same thing. And one thing you must know is that even spending $5 for each campaign still adds up. If you run 100 ad campaigns, that would be $500 a day!
It is also not easy to get a profitable campaign. So, you will have to spend quite a lot before you get one. Of course, once you get one, you would be able to make a nice profit.
The question is – do you have the budget to go the distance?
One good thing, that I learned from running paid ads, is that you can learn a lot about your market and audience. If you have the money, you can also take the money for the ad campaigns as buying data. The data is useful for you to learn how to narrow down your audience and find the right people to sell to.
RED FLAG! – Relatively expensive
Upfront, the price can be considered a bit high.
But if you can afford it, you can choose to make payment with the 3 monthly installment plan.

Super Affiliate System Review – Scam or Legit?
Timotheus Final Thoughts
VERDICT: Legit
It is a legit business, and the training is legit. The course is extensive, and that is a good thing. As with any education, you need to study hard, and then put what you learned into action.
Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. You need to work hard, and put in time and effort. The good news is the global affiliate marketing industry is growing rapidly.
#affiliatemarketing
If you plan to purchase this course, do it only if you have the budget, and are keen to spend more on paid ads.
This is because traffic is important. With traffic, you have the opportunity to convert consumers to customers.
You can get traffic with paid ads or free traffic doing SEO or social media marketing or even YouTube marketing. Paid ads can generate sales and revenue faster, provided you know how to do it right. SEO takes time but ultimately, when done correctly, will reward you.
What is A Good Alternative?
I understand money can be an issue. Forking out $997 at one go, or $397 for three months can be difficult for some. So, here is an alternative – Wealthy Affiliate.
You can start with the Free Starter Membership. After that, when you upgrade to Premium Membership, it is only $49 per month.
