Master Affiliate Profits (MAP) is a system that has been put together by John Thornhill and Omar and Melinda Martin. John Thornhill is the founder of the successful and popular Ambassador Program. Omar and Melinda are CMO and CEO of Higher Level Strategies, providing training, products and services for online marketers.
Their aim with MAP is to provide a complete ecosystem for affiliate marketers. The intention is to safe-guard leads (so they are not poached by the program vendors) and to include traffic, training and tools within the system. In addition, affiliates who sign-up will enjoy high commissions, even up to 100% during the current phase 2 that is open until the end of April.
My experience with the program so farI joined about 3 weeks ago as a MAP Backer during phase 2. Though I consider myself very experienced with affiliate marketing, I have learned some absolute gems in the training. Implementing this new-found knowledge has helped me attract some high quality traffic to my one-link and build my list. I am confident that sales will follow soon as I can tell from the built-in tracking that I am getting a lot of interest from potential buyers.
By joining in phase 2, as a platinum member, I am showing my lifetime commitment to MAP. I can see how the system will remove many of the obstacles that have been holding affiliate marketers back. I am going to get 75% commissions on affiliates who join and upgrade to higher levels during phase 3, and I will also be entitled to level 2 commissions of 25%. As members will have to pay monthly (from phase 3 onwards), this will add up very nicely.
The lifetime cost of $797 (one-off) is good value for what you get, and just two sales will be all I need to earn more than that back,
Free members (joining in the imminent phase 3) will also be able to earn high commissions e.g. 100% on a product inside the system called traffic jump-start and 25% commissions on silver, gold or platinum level sales. Higher commissions are attainable by joining at the higher levels.
What I LikeI especially like the lead safe-guarding that MAP offers owing to the fact that it is an ecosystem. Its holistic qualities also mean that I have almost all the training and tools that I will ever need. The tools range from the ability to build funnels to creating bonuses and more. The training covers subjects such as list building, email marketing, traffic, video marketing, blogging, social media, and creating ads and banners.
I like the fact that the compensation plan is easy to understand and does not include gimmicks like powerlines and spillover and so on.
The fact that it will have a free membership option from phase 3 onwards, appeals to me, as it will be easier to sign prospects up who may then go on to upgrade.
I also like the way you can potentially earn commissions from external sources that the system integrates with or utilizes, such as WarriorPlus, JVZoo. Clickbank, Udimi, Aweber, Getresponse and so on.
The way that I can sort or filter my clicks by source, tracking ID and date, is a great feature as well as the way my leads and sales data are displayed.
What I DislikeThere is nothing I dislike. It has a few 'coming soon' items, but as long as they are indeed coming soon i.e. in phase 3, that's absolutely fine. The training and tools that are there are already very extensive.
Final VerdictThe system lives up to the claim that it is an ecosystem, with safe-guarding of your leads, built-in traffic, one link to promote, generous commissions, extensive training and tools and a thriving Facebook group.

Secrets of the Big Dogs has been an information product in circulation since 2001 and it remains just as relevant and important today as when it was first released. The program has two main components -
The entire concept and program is the brainchild of Stan Stuchinski who makes himself available to all members via phone or email.
I became aware of this program a decade ago, but rather foolishly wasn't prepared to part with whatever the cost of the eBook was at that time. I've come close to purchasing the book on several occasions and finally took the plunge a month ago.
I'm twenty-two years late to the party, but it feels like I've come home.
What I Like
First and foremost I like Stan's writing style. It is a style that I can relate to. The content is spot on and is delivered in a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners kind of way that leaves you with no illusions of what is required to succeed online. I particularly like the section where Stan outlines the characteristics of "Alpha Dogs. " I found the way that was written to be inspiring.
The formula for success is simple but requires commitment and some patience (2 characteristics of "Alpha Dogs").
After reading this book, I honestly believe that the prospective marketer has two choices - EIther take the action suggested or shelve their dreams of internet success.
What I Dislike
I can't say that I agree with every choice Stan makes in his CHIP portfolio, but I do agree with the vast majority. I actually contacted Stan in regard to this and he was quick to assure me that the program I queried was under review and may not make the cut in the next edition. Either way, it wasn't a deal breaker, as I could simply choose not to be involved with that program.
Final Verdict
I believe that Secrets of the Big Dogs is a must-read for any prospective online marketer be they a novice or a seasoned professional. It pulls no punches, lays out an achievable plan of action and backs up that plan with outstanding responsive support.
