OnlyWire is a great concept. It has a number of dimensions but in essence they all do the same thing – bookmark a URL to lots of bookmarking sites with one action (you do need to have accounts at each of these accounts – RoboForm is a great way to create these). The OnlyWire options are:
- toolbar button – click it and the bookmarking begins
- WordPress plugin – all your posts automatically bookmarked
- API – use PHP to bookmark several URLs simultaneously
- button on your website for visitors to bookmark using their OnlyWire account
I have tried all of these. In fact, with the API I thought I had found the secret of efficient bookmarking.
Unfortunately, the reality is a little different. Many of the sites require CAPTCHA completion. This means logging into your OnlyWire account and completing the CAPTCHAs – this can be very time consuming (and possibly a bit of an irritation if you have to do this after every blog post.)
However, this is not the main issue. The big problem is that many times, despite what the program tells you, the bookmarking is unsuccessful. Secondly, the service is free providing you have an onlywire button on your blog or website. Every so often OnlyWire checks that the button is there. If it isn’t, your bookmarking is cancelled. Fair enough – except their checking system continually fails to identify their own button and you end up with a message like this on your OnlyWire page.
Click on the Check Status and everything is fixed. However, your bookmarking has failed. Incredibly frustrating – and this happens a lot!
Finally, there is the OnlyWire button on your blog or website. The image for the button, together with its script, is stored on the OnlyWire server. This means that for your webpage to finish loading, data has to be brought from the OnlyWire server. At times this is busy and so your page cannot finish loading.
It’s a real shame that the OnlyWire tools don’t work – great idea but just too much hassle.

Who else is really exhausted by all the ‘guru’ products on the web these days? It looks like everyone has published a course, an ebook or some other product that ‘guarantees’ making you successful. The reality is though, the vast majority of these courses are a complete waste of effort and money. However, if you are a newbie, you need some guideance – there is a lot to learn and a lot of mistakes that can be made. However, determining which programs are worthwhile can be extremely difficult. Most people end up being taken in by a product that ends in disappointment once – if they are lucky – usually people get taken several times.
AffiloBlueprint however, was not a disappointment.
Let me tell you a little about AffiloBlueprint. Created by Super-Affiliate Mark Ling. AffiloBlueprint claims to be a complete system for creating money-making affiliate sites. In the first release of the course last year, Ling actually used this blueprint to create a site before a live audience; a site that generated $500 per in profit! In this latest version, Ling builds on that same methodology, but with an improved format and much more comprehensive lessons.
So what is the ‘blueprint’? The fundamental principle of AffiloBlueprint is that you can make multiple sites, in virtually any niche, by employing an identical process over and over. Therefore you can make a whole bunch of small $25 per month sites, and then just increase your income by building lots of sites. If you then reinvest reinvest a chunk of that money back into the sites by building content and using SEO techniques, you can very quickly transform your earnings into the thousands a week – just by starting with a few $50 a week sites. This must be one of the simplest but yet most believable approaches I’ve seen for producing this level of income through affiliate marketing.
Let me share with you some course details. AffiloBlueprint is a 12 week program with fifty-five video lessons. Beginning with how to identify a profitable niche and market research, the program moves through picking keywords, creating content, building a website, search-engine-optimization, creating newsletters, analytics and troubleshooting (the troubleshooting lesson is brilliant!), and pay per click. You have to admit, pretty comprehensive!
The downside (I’m struggling here!), is that you could be tempted to rush ahead, skipping parts.. Don’t do it! Everything in this course is there for a reason, and if you follow it as it is laid out, you will almost certainly be able to develop a successful site.
AffiloBlueprint also comes with a bespoke Wordpress template, so if you have never produced a website before, you can simply use a template created by affiliate marketing experts to build your site. It is evident that Mark Ling has gone to a lot of trouble to make this product as newbie-proof as possible. Everything is really clearly explained and there is no assumption of knowledge, so if you’re just starting out, this product if for you. Should you have some knowledge of affiliate marketing however, you will still find the systematic approach of AffiloBlueprint useful. This could be what you need to build up your income or fix your under-performing sites.
All in all, I highly recommend AffiloBlueprint as one of the best affiliate educational products I’ve seen. It is not always possible to subscribe as the doors are closed to ensure that the appropriate level of service can be given to new memebers – so don’t waste any time:.
