John Reese is one of the best marketers of our time. His accomplishments are legendary in this industry. I originally met John because one of the other admins at the Digital Point forums was talking about this guy who promoted his software product and he did hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales in 24 hours. He said the guy just sent out a email recommending his product. I was like WTF I gotta meet this guy. I shot him a email and he asked if I was going to AdTech. I was and we agreed to meet up.
I originally met John at AdTech San Francisco in 2007. I was telling him about this advertising network I was doing called AuctionAds. He listened to me give my pitch then proceeded to gave me about 2 notebooks full of tips on how to market it. It was a HUGE tipping point for AuctionAds. I followed John’s advice and it made a dramatic impact right away.
In the years since I have learned from John more with what he does then directly interacting with him. From his monstrously successful Traffic Secrets programs to some that did not go so hot like Blog Rush.
John shares an enormous amount of knowledge through his successes and failures.
Today John launched opportunity.com . A training program to teach people affiliate marketing. Its free to sign up and get a peek what he is up to. I highly recommend it.
Watching John work might inspire you in coming up with your next big thing.

I like the notes. Thanks man.
One more awesome E-book on Affiliate Marketing John Reese. I have just applied to online Free access and now i will go through each and everything what he has to offer since within couple of weeks i am planning to launch few websites on which i will be selling click bank products.
Now at this point of time i have this Handwritten.pdf opened up on my laptop & i can only tell it is something which only experienced affiliate marketer can write. Starting point says what is the ultimate online Business ?? I am sure this will be interesting book to go through and implement things step by step.
Thanks a ton for sharing such a vital information Shoe.
I am still learning affiliate marketing, this is definitely going to help a lot.
Thanks for sharing.
Which software did he promote?
Great post. very inspirational for beginners to affiliate marketing.
I would agree with the him being the best marketer in the industry… but DEFINITELY not one of the best marketers of our time.
I watched a promo video for the site launch probably about a week ago on email marketing…was really great stuff and i’ve been looking forward to the site launching
you might tell him that he should send out a link to his mailing list for opp….com as I signed up during your last pitch and can’t get to the handwritten pdf via the link. I fortunately reclicked on the last verification email and was served the handwritten pdf.
the last pitch was for a video that I found interesting on email marketing. Funny thing though is he didn’t follow that model as I haven’t received an email since signing up. where is my email every 3 days?
i just downloaded his notes and look forward to reading through them. Didn’t I see you and him in a picture by his Ferrari at an event in Vegas?
I think that was orlando. these guys are all linked
Uh yah….I stay away from Digital Point Forums because i have been scammed way too many times, not to say this guy is not worth your time or anything,
I don’t understand, you say it’s free but on the sign up page it says “Our introductory membership fee is only $39.95 a month.”
What am I missing?
I am always looking for ways to increase my knowledge.John Reese has a lot of great information.
Hey nice domain name. Says it all. Would have been a little nicer if it was called Layed-Off-In-2009?.com
John is great. I’ve looked through his notes & there are definitely fantastic tips in them.
I didnt know that John Reese is admin at digitalpoint forums, i only knew about shawn hogan.
opps sorry delete my last comment i read it wrong !
I just downloaded his notes that I’m interested to read. Hope it really helps.
Downloaded the notes and looking forward to the read
.
of course I signed up…It’s John Reese…I just don’t know how he got that domain name????
Classic!
Go back and read the part where he talks about how he and his team make MILLIONS. I think they can afford whatever fee some domain squatter was requesting.
gotta check em out, thanks !
Why do you and JC always shill in tandem.
So:
“Our full-time team scours the Internet to report back to you with the latest opportunities and hot trends – what’s working and what’s not.”
Whenever I see something like this I ask myself: If he and his full-time team have it all figured out, why aren’t they working 70 hours a week bringing in the big bucks running a massive affiliate marketing operation? Instead, they’re selling the idea to someone else…So we can assume that it’s more profitable to sell the idea of being successful than whatever the actual methodology is. Or am I wrong?
Sure I think your right.
Not exactly.
My company generates millions of dollars in affiliate commissions. I’ve been one of the biggest super affiliates online for years. I’ve made as much as $1.2 million in commissions from ONE product promotion.
My team and I *do* build businesses to go after specific markets. But the truth is, the affiliate marketing industry is going on almost $10 Billion A Year. No one is going to dominate it all. Not even close. And to that we’re building media company around helping entrepreneurs build online businesses and it has perfect synergy for us to teach the same business models we use.
p.s. Thanks for the kind words, Jeremy. Really appreciate them.
John, I appreciate the volume of good information that you’ve put together on this site.
My question is whether or not there will be a “Master Plan” or more in depth guide to some of the higher level concepts. Getting a detailed break down of adwords is great, but I’d love to see more about how PPC fits into an overall affiliate marketing business model than just how to do keyword research or how to write articles.
Seems like a great service. I’m not familiar with John, but my first impression is a good one!
John Reese is great, I’ll check out the site.
what thousand dollars in 24 hours???? Amazing
It’s $39.95 to sign up… so it is not free…
I’ve got a lot of respect for John Reese.
There are a few other marketers with similar big reputations and earnings, but to me John has a lot more sincerity than most of them.
Also, he’s one smart guy. Never had any contact with him, but his techniques are killer, and watching his product launches is usually an excellent education.
He’s one of those guys where you need to keep every email and page he sends you to, and reverse engineer it to see the whole process.
It’s good stuff.
I got a quote on twitter this morning about IM being a religion and JR being the Pope…
Think that about sums it up.
John had a nice video about the new program that i saw on John Chow’s website. Thanks Greg Ellison
I remember John Reese coming to Izea in his lamborghini .. This guy really knows what he is doing.
Excellent way to increase his email drip list. The information is plentiful but seems to be rehashed from other sources/common knowledge. At least he may be taking advantage of some of Yaro’s Membership site tips.

I have a little free time on my hands so I’m signing up.
Liked the video he made shows all the newbies out there that affiliate marketing has low start up costs & is a great way to make money.
John Resse always have something good going on. His conferences are amazing.
I signed up last night and have been tuned in since.
What I want to know is how did this website go from practically 0 visitors to over 150k in under a month.
Instead of wasting your time reading about the “next big thing” you could have already created your own product and started selling it.
That’s what John does.
Seems as though every time I try and come up with something it does just okay.
But when I launch a site, like MR that is more of a hobby it just takes off. Go figure.

What a great domain name!
What did he pay for it?
Already #2 for opportunity with only about 100 link shows what a good 1 word keyword domain can do
It’s really funny because that’s a very common term to come up with. I wonder did he buy that domain from someone or was it actually available. Very rare indeed!
thank you for recommend opportunity.com….I will sign up for free
All i can say is that John Reese is mad elite, … and i mean it Elite!

Get that money!
The guru circle as I call it: Shoe kisses John, John kissed Brad Callen, Brad kisses Joel Comm, Joel kisses another guru.
Reminds me of that Abba song..
After further review, I must say that the information on this site is very basic. I learned a few things that I can’t wait to try, but overall its all basic.
Indeed. Very informative…now I gotta focus on my site.
Very useful information, thanks Shoe for share.
I will certainly not going to miss this chance I will sign up thanks for the info Shoe
So you guys are promoting each other companies and business in this manner. This is simply cool … really appreciate this.
I am leaving for sign up at there.
eh… not impressed. Total newbie material you can find free. The “bonus” material was 5 year old videos from affiliate summit.
Save your money.
You have a good friend- John!
