Cons of the Affiliate Business System

While the Affiliate Business System by Vick Strizheus offers numerous advantages, it's important to consider the potential downsides as well. Understanding these cons can help you make a more informed decision and prepare for any challenges you might face. Here are some of the key drawbacks to keep in mind.

1. Cost

One of the main drawbacks of ABS is the cost. While the system offers a lot of value, the price tag can be prohibitive for some people. There are different pricing tiers, and the higher levels offer more comprehensive access to resources and coaching. For those on a tight budget, this might be a significant barrier and may cause financial anxiety. As I mentioned earlier, this isn't for everyone, especially for people who are barely making ends meet. To be successful, you should really set aside $5k to $10k to maximize the profit potential. For this reason, only a certain amount of people can take advantage of this exclusive opportunity.

2. Time Commitment

Building a successful affiliate marketing business is not an overnight endeavor. ABS requires a substantial time commitment, particularly in the initial stages. The training modules are extensive, and implementing the strategies takes time and effort. This can be challenging for individuals with busy schedules or other commitments.

3. Steep Learning Curve (depends, really)

While ABS is designed to be beginner-friendly, there is still a steep learning curve, especially for those new to online marketing. Some of the concepts and strategies can be overwhelming at first. Therefore, it's important to be prepared for a period of trial and error as you learn and apply the teachings.

4. Dependence on Paid Traffic

One of the key strategies taught in ABS is driving traffic through paid advertising. While this can be effective, it also requires a financial investment. For those who are not comfortable with or cannot afford to spend money on ads, this can be a limiting factor. There are some organic traffic strategies covered, but the emphasis is definitely on paid methods.

5. Potential for Information Overload

The sheer volume of information and resources available through ABS can be overwhelming. It's easy to get bogged down in the details and lose sight of the bigger picture. Effective time management and prioritization are crucial to avoid information overload, as with any legitimate business. This is why implementing a system is crucial, to ensure your own success.

Personal Experience

As someone who's been through the ups and downs of various affiliate marketing programs, my experience with ABS has been largely positive. The training is comprehensive, and Vick's teaching style is both engaging and motivating. The live coaching sessions have been particularly valuable, providing personalized guidance and accountability.

However, I did find the investment to be a bit steep, especially considering the additional expenses for paid advertising and a significant time investment. Although there were moments of frustration as I navigated the learning curve, I remembered why I joined in the first place. I didn't want to work my job and "work" my business, as I have done previously. I wanted financially victory. I wanted financial freedom for my child with Autism and my medically-disabled wife. Also, I want to upgrade my current home to a 5,000 square-home, overlooking the Puget Sound and a writing studio which would allow me to focus on my purpose of empowering people through my books.

Although the investment was considerably more than I had anticipated (and expected), it was worthwhile. I made the commitment because it MADE SENSE to me. I encourage you to review the training as I did and make an informed decision. You can watch it here if you'd like.

Despite initial challenges I faced, the support from the community and the quality of the resources kept me moving forward. I'm truly on my way to achieving the level of success I've set out for!
