Been meaning to do a review on the Super Affiliate Network but this month has just been hectic.
Well now that all the eggs are found (I hope), I can give you a little low down on what this site is really about.
For those of you who have been requesting a review wondering if this is a scam, here’s all the information you need to know before you join something you might end up regretting.
I am not affiliated with The Super Affiliate Network, but I have had my share of “high ticket commission” type products in my career, so I very much understand how these types of things work.
Is the Super Affiliate Network a scam?
Will it work?
Are you guaranteed to make anything?
I will be answering the many questions that I’m sure a lot of you may have so that you can make a wiser decision on something that will cost you an arm and a leg.
Read this review and you will know exactly what it is you will be getting yourself into.
So What Exactly is The Super Affiliate Network?
The Super Affiliate Network was created by Misha Wilson who supposedly has been around for a while and is known as the youngest and fastest growing traffic conversion expert.
For those of you that are new to this whole make money online thing, you’re probably like “wow”, but still have no clue as to what that really means.
There are no tangible products that come with The Super Affiliate Network, but rather a bunch of marketing training or shall I say, “6 key components that make them stand out from the crowd”.
- coaching
- Live interactive community
- Email marketing automation
- Live training
- Done for you traffic
- Global sales system
Every single “product” here is what you will be using to promote the same exact thing you just purchased, which I would like to explain more below.
How The Super Affiliate Network Works
I have mastered the formula of high ticket products, but I can’t find it in me to do this type of stuff anymore, due to the fact that almost everyone I bring in will not make the money they think.
On top of that, they will HAVE to put in a lot of money before they can start earning these high commissions, which is what has me even more turned off about the overall business model that comes with these types of sites.
The Super Affiliate Network has a very simple formula and every single program like it does business the same exact way.
- You run into an ad or someone promoting the program
- You give into the marketing
- You go all in so that you don’t miss out on commissions (more marketing)
- You go out there and promote the same exact thing you just joined
Sounds super stupid simple, but that my friend is exactly how these sites work.
Wash, rinse, and repeat.
I mean, who doesn’t want to make thousands of dollars from a single sale and who wasn’t excited to see that they can do it too?
Very clever idea, but something I have grown out of and will never get back into.
Training & Support
Training on affiliate marketing is one thing as you can really find it for free if you did some search, but having the support to keep moving forward is another thing.
The support with The Super Affiliate Network is actually not that bad and you can even have Misha himself join in on some of the webinars that some of its members host.
I mean, who wouldn’t support people that are promoting their products, right?
Well, this is still something I liked even if I disagree with a lot of the stuff that comes with the product and most especially the price.
Why High Ticket Products?
I just love how everyone talks about how high ticket products are the way to go, when a whopping 99% of everyone in any of these high ticket programs are not making a single penny.
Ever hear of the saying “fake it til’ you make it“?
Well that’s what these marketers do to try to get you to join, when they are most likely not making a single penny online.
I was apart of one of the first companies (Empower Network) that started the whole high ticket product deal and let me just say that they are all the same.
Whether it’s Digital Altitude, MOBE, or The Super Affiliate Network, just know that they all come with the same formula and network.
- No tangible products
- Overpriced marketing training (so you can make higher commissions)
- Extremely high fail rate
- All promote hype
No matter what anyone tells you about one’s work ethic or knowledge about promoting these types of products, the reality is that not everyone will make it, and it is ran completely off of hype.
On top of that, the cost is not going to be pennies either.
The Price to Join The Super Affiliate Network
Here’s where you pump the brakes.
I’m sure a lot of people will give into the whole $1 trial just to get a glimpse of what you are about to join.
All this does is set you up to get spammed by the same marketing you will be selling so that this “team” can close the deal for the person who’s trying to get you to join.
For starters, you have the $1 trial or you may have even run into their freemium offer, which is even easier to give into because they have their “credit card is not required” marketing tactic deployed.
This is where you get thrown more videos of the fancy lifestyle and this is only the start to you getting bombarded with email, so be ready for it.
Once all this free stuff and trial is up, you will have to pay $47/month after, along with the up-sells that I’m sure you saw coming.
Don’t take the free offer and you can join for $37/month right off the bat, avoiding the $47 for the following month.
- $1 trial or free offer
- $47/month or $37/month if you pass up on the free trial
- Annual membership – $297
- Plus membership – $200 (monthly)
- VIP membership – $1997 (a year)
- Diamond coaching program – $9,000
Every single product above is what you will have to purchase in order to qualify for any commissions and believe it or not, there are people out there getting loans just to pay for this stuff.
Yikes!
Forget about what you’re getting, some people jump in just so that they “don’t miss out on commissions”, which I’m sure you see is another marketing strategy.
The Super Affiliate Network Compensation Plan
If you’re wondering how much you can earn for every person you bring into this program, allow me to break it down to you and you will see why people get desperate when promoting this stuff.
For all the small stuff, you can expect to make 100% of the sales, which I’m sure they don’t mind giving since you’re bringing in potential customers that will pay thousands of dollars.
So if someone comes in and pays the $1, $37, or $47, you get all of the sale as long as you have purchased them yourself.
Now once you start getting to the bigger dollar signs, this is when you split 50% with the owner.
Can you imagine how much money this dude makes just from affiliates promoting this?
We know who the real winner is here.
But There’s Testimonials
The whole marketing deal will not be complete unless someone has some type of testimonial or “proof”, and of course they have them here too.
You just gotta love this stuff and how marketing works.
Now I’m sure these guys all made money, but you have to remember that they had to have purchased any of the products if they wanted to earn a commission.
So if they were to make X amount of dollars, they had to have spent it or that commissions would’ve been passed up to the person that brought you in.
There is also no guarantee that they will make anymore money either, as even though the yearly commissions will be paid the following year, if the person you brought in isn’t making any money, I can almost guarantee you that they will of course cancel their monthly payment of $47 and they will also not be paying that yearly fee.
Not so hard to understand, but really hard to stay away from as all we see are dollar signs.
I have seen and been apart of some of these 100% commission, high ticket type stuff and you just have to ask yourself, what am I really selling?
Affiliate Marketing is Awesome
As a full-time affiliate marketer (same thing they’re doing here) I love everything about it and it is what I do to make my living these days.
I make thousands of dollars a month, and I don’t make it promoting any of these high ticket products.
With the fact that the not so experienced person will not make it with these overpriced training material, it’s really hard to get anyone to join under me.
Now if you don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to make money with affiliate marketing, you can get all the training, support, and everything you need to be successful online, for a lot, lot less.
I use a program called the Wealthy Affiliate and not only is it a million times cheaper, but they have a lot more to offer.
You can see how the two size up against each other and you will see why you don’t need a high ticket product to make thousands of dollars online.
The Super Affiliate Network at a Glance
Name: The Super Affiliate Network
Website: www.thesuperaffiliatenetwork.com
Owner: Misha Wilson
Price: $47/month + up-sells
Overall Rating: Proceed with caution. You know exactly what it is that you are getting yourself into, so if you don’t make a single penny, you have no one to blame but yourself.
So is The Super Affiliate Network a Scam?
Not so much the case here, as they do offer some type of product.
Not your typical lotions and potions, but there is still some sort of product.
For those that have been involved with any of these high ticket programs, they will tell you exactly like it is and most will say that this is a scam.
Then you’ll have its members defend it all the way as they of course put money into this and can’t face the fact that they joined something that doesn’t sit well in the online world.
Now whether I recommend this or not, I’m going to have to give this two thumbs down.
Not the most ethical business model, but it is what it is.
What I Really Think
I’m sure Misha is a great dude and he definitely wants his members to succeed (or he won’t), but I can’t recommend something that I know too much about and I can’t see myself doing.
The Super Affiliate Network is not for everyone, so do think about things before you join something that you are still unsure of, especially if you don’t have a thousand dollars laying around.
Personally, I love the whole concept around affiliate marketing, but I’m against high ticket products as there’s just not much value for such a high price.
Buying and selling the same marketing funnel to make money is not my idea of a real online business, but that’s just me.
In the end, it’s one of those “agree to disagree” type things and that’s just how it is.
Do you think this is something you see yourself doing?
Do you have the type of money it takes to start something like this?
You will be the one who knows what YOU want and need.
No one else.
Thanks for reading my Super Affiliate Network review and hopefully I have given you more than enough information about a very controversial program, so that you can make a wiser decision on your own.
I’m sure you members won’t agree with some of the stuff here, but that’s cool too as I’m always open for a nice debate.

Full Super Affiliate Network review here! at http://scamorno.com/Super-Affiliate-Network-review/
I just cancelled SAN today. 3 months. I didn’t expect to be making alot and quiting my job after 3 months. For the first 2 months I got no help with anything. I had questions that the “bootcamp” wasn’t offering and was otherwise ignored or referred me to the boot camp which was no help. Finally, after adding $2,000 onto my debt I got help only to have to pay more for it. On average I was sitting in from if my laptop about 15-20 hours a week, on top of my 40 hour job. I made a whole 70 cents in 3 months. And then they tell me it’s my fault after I repeatedly asked for help. I attended their webinars and I saw no value in making me a better marketer. It was all fluff and how you need to get out there and sell, sell, sell and at the end was a sales pitch for the pro memembership. I had enough.
Nice review.
I tried this system and what I did not like is that there is no transparency in there system. As where the sales are going they don’t provide enough tracking so that produces some doubts about there authenticity.
As if they claim to be real good as they boast in the webinars why is that the tracking is so weak in there system.
Hey John!
This reminds my a lot to the Digital Altitude scheme.
They attract you with that “just for $1” at first and then you got marketing gurus telling you how you’ll be making millions in less than 6 months.
But then, there come the up-sells… I don’t say it’s not a good way to get money, but you need to have a couple thousand bucks ready to burn right away to start the wheel.
I totally agree with you that Wealthy Affiliate is the place to be if you want to actually learn how to create your own business in a honest way and without having to save up for the next up-sell.
Thanks for the review and most especially your honesty!
What a refreshing piece of writing! This is so honest and open, and covers so much of what I see happening all over Facebook and the web. There are heaps of high-ticket schemes going now, lots with webinars attached, which is just another way to show you a glimpse of a dream, but then if you really want to see how it works, you need to pay thousands! Hype, hype and more hype! I am also a member of wealthy affiliate, and what I like is that you are getting a solid education, that empowers you for future business, whichever direction you choose to take your plans. This to me is far more valuable in the longer term. Do you agree with this? I applaud you saying you are out of promoting these high-ticket affiliate schemes!
I definitely agree with you Mara and not only is it more valuable, but it’s also more profitable as you build out your business. Once you make that $1 (even if it’s not thousands like these high ticket products promote) it is the start of something that you are building out to make thousands in one day. On top of that, you are giving people actual products that they need and want without having to pitch the hype to get them to pay you. Definitely won’t try to get anyone to buy into one of my high ticket schemes even if I am very much “all in” in one of them that I can promote and make 100% commissions. A little bit smarter now and I would rather make money helping people than by selling them a dream knowing that they won’t make it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though Mara and I hope things are going well on your end. Cheers!
Thanks for this review of the Super Affiliate Network John. I see why people get tempted to join and test it out, but glad you make it clear about how it really works before I get too tempted.
Such a shame so many people are just trying to make money online by trying to sell the idea of making money online to others. In my opinion it is not honest, and I by now hate seeing these advertisements with “Make thousands of dollars a day on autopilot without making an effort” – it is not realistic. It is definitely possible to make that kind of money online, but you will have to make an effort for it. So why not put in the effort to create something of value to people.
Thanks again for the insights.
Mikael
Can’t say I don’t agree with you man and I’m glad you can see the bigger picture.
Hello John
Thanks for your review of Super affiliate network, with so many programs out there, knowing what works and what not can be hard and I always try to read reviews before deciding if I should give a program a trial or not.
Glad to know Super Affiliate have a free trial, because sometimes reviews alone are not enough and one needs to try and find out if it`s the right program or not, now having to spend money to try every program out there can be really expensive and I’m always on the look out for trial programs.
the $47 a month is really high so for someone like me who hates upsells this is to me already a turn-off, if I`m going to pay that much, I expect the whole package so to speak.
Now you mention getting 100% commission when you bring in new affiliates, who make the same purchase, where then is your profit as an affiliate if your referral decided to purchase a different product.
These are the programs I do stay away from, I don’t like being forced to buy a product hoping someone I refer will buy the same product so I can make money.
anyway, there is nothing like making money in Auto pilot and there is no way a newbie can make money online in 7 days, this alone should be a red flag for anyone who has been online for some time.
Very informative and well explained,thanks for sharing.
Thank you too Roamy and I hope you have found something that works for you.
Hi, John,
I spent a lot of time and about 5 digits of money on how to make money online, but all failed. All your examples, I only heard of MOBE which a coach promote his high ticket program. Since I already invested so much hard earn money without even one penny return so I hesitated to join. It is just like what your eye-catching photos. Of course, one of the reason is I searched for MOBE review and it is not positive at all.
I think Super Affiliate Network is similar to MOBE, right? I think you are ethical in online business since you said you can make some money from high ticket but you are not comfortable with that. I believe that is important to keep business in long term running.
I just know how it is to be apart of these types of sites and the few that are making thousands a day are the ones that really know what they’re doing. The rest 98% will be the ones paying them. This is just not what you call a real business. It’s recruiting and there is no actual product but rather a way to make a lot of money, which is completely unethical in my opinion. You might as well just “gift” the money like these cash gifting scams do…but, it’s all about selling a funnel for the uneducated to go through the steps to make YOU money, not them.
I am new to affiliate marketing and am desperately trying to make money from home and quit my job and I came across this site.
I just need a program that will show me how to do this whole affiliate marketing thing, allow me to build my site within their platform, and not have me promote them to make money.
I mean, thousands of dollars? Just to sell this to someone else? Is that even legal?
Thanks for the heads up thought John and if you don’t mine, can you tell me how you were able to make money online?
Thanks for your time!
Sure Craig. I have actually tried the whole high ticket product thing before and although I was able to make some sales, something just didn’t sit right with me and I had to stop. Knowing that almost every person I brought into the program weren’t going to make even just their money back was not cool and I had to stop.
I did run into a program called the Wealthy Affiliate and that’s when everything changed. Rather than trying to recruit other people with some hyped up marketing, they teach you to sell actual products that you don’t even own.
You can read more here and see what they are all about and don’t expect to spend thousands of dollars either. By far the best training and support on affiliate marketing, not to mention that they literally have everything you need to run your own business.
Websites, domains, hosting, training, support…you name it. Give it a try man and do let me know what you think!
This is really interesting because I was just checking out a similar product myself. That one is called Digital Alititude and I just read your review of that one as well.
As always, if it seems too good to be true then it always is.
It is actually better to try to help people solving their problems and teaching them things than to try to sell them something you just bought yourself. It does not make sense.
Thank you for this review, you certainly saved me time. I will put my efforts into something else.
Cheers,
Jojo
Not a problem Jojo!
Hi, John. What a great article. I love how thorough you are about this company and your honesty. After reading this article I wouldn’t touch super affiliate network with a ten-foot pole. I don’t understand how people who invent these type of companies can live with themselves or sleep at night. I love the comparison at the bottom with wealthy affiliate and super affiliate network. For the price and what you are actually getting, I definitely know that wealthy affiliate is the way to go. Thanks for such an awesome review!
Thanks for sharing as well Monique!
Hi John
Usually I’m really suspicious when somebody tells me the amount of money I can make, and to make it worse…he even goes as far as to tell you in how many days.
Although I must admit, I thought that there was no product behind this program, it just so turns out that I was wrong.
I must, however go to say that high ticket products are no longer the way to go, especially when there are programs like Wealthy Affiliate.
John, have you ever noticed that this business model sounds like Digital Altitude? Even the way it’s presented.
I smell a rat, please try reviewing Digital Altitude and juxtapose the two, they look so alike.
Yeah they are definitely the same type of “product” and I definitely did a Digital Altitude review, which you can find here. What really sucks (whether they are legit or not) is that there are a lot of the big online marketers promoting them, which ruins it for everyone else.
They will definitely make money just from their sites alone, but that won’t be the case with some average newbie looking to make money online. That is what I don’t agree with and also why I will NEVER promote ANY high ticket products.
Been there, done that and I can’t see myself making money off of the completely uneducated. Thanks for sharing your thoughts man and I hope your online business is coming along smoothly.
Thanks for giving me the reminder on this programs. Another bullshit comes with upsells and low-quality products.
I can’t convince with the upsells and totally will stay out of it.
You really created a good review so others can avoid it before they fall into the upfront fees and subsequently fall into those upsells.
Good job.
Thanks Maxx!
