Domain Heist Review – Quite Amazing, Actually.

You know what, I'm pleased to be able to share my genuine opinion in this Domain Heist review today. The sales video is a total joke. You wouldn't - and shouldn't - possibly take a word of it seriously. Fake testimonials by the actors from Fiverr, trashy sob story narrated by a fake person, "Robin", less than 10 minutes of work each day... Another scam product targeted at get-rich-quick dreamers, I thought.

The only difference I noticed is that the Domain Heist sales video actually tells you that it's a training program and briefly explains what you learn from it. I decided to give it a try and was actually impressed - in fact, I was blown away by it. Why, WHY? Any affiliate marketing beginner can make good use of it! I wish I had it when I first started out, I would have learned so much in a matter of a few days, or within the first day. I'll show you what I find. Read on.

What Is Domain Heist?

Domain Heist is an affiliate marketing training program, consisting of some 70+ video tutorials. The training is about;

• Affiliate marketing basics - which networks to use, finding niches.
• All about SEO marketing incl. some "necessary gray hat SEO" techniques - buying expired domains, setting up a website, finding the best keywords, essential & secret backlinking methods.
• Transcribing YouTube video and turning it into a blog post.
• All about email marketing and the step-by-step.

When you imagine so many video clips for the price of $9, you may wonder if it's "quantity over quality". But no, the tutorials are spread over 11 sections across 3 stages/levels. Each and every video is a screen-recorded walkthrough and the tutor's explanations are comprehensive. You just follow the tutorials from top to bottom without skipping, with a pen and notebook if necessary, and you can come back to any of the videos at any time you want.

Who Is The Tutor?

For whatever reason, the tutor never reveals his identity. But I find him very friendly, very helpful, and extremely easy to understand. Really!

Has It Been Released Previously?

Is it a rehashed version of a previously released tutorial? I don't know, but all I can witness is that the videos are current, all created in 2020, and each video is watermarked "Domain Heist", so this tutorial is original as far as I'm concerned.

What's Good About Domain Heist?

I kind of explained it all already, but I think Domain Heist is great for you if you are

• new to making money online,
• seriously willing to learn all the affiliate marketing techniques, and
• on a budget. 

Because the tutorials are comprehensive and you'll get to learn a lot of vital tips for such a low cost. Plus, some worksheets are provided, which can be saved on your Google Docs and Google Sheets. All of these are very useful for you to reference as you build your affiliate marketing business. 

You will need to spend some money on tools though, along the way, just like we all do. But you'll be introduced to the most economical (or free) ways in the beginning, and some premium services such as email marketing tools later on.

What I Don't Like About Domain Heist

Fake profile. I personally wouldn't promote products to others incognito, trying to earn affiliate commissions "sneakily". Buying an expired domain that was once owned by someone else, stealing someone else's audio content on YouTube, transcribe it, and publish it so that it's not censored as copied content... Indeed, many affiliates choose this method to make money without revealing their identity. I guess that's okay for many, but the intention is short-term and you'll never build trust that way. 

I have quite a few social friends/followers with a hidden identity, which I have no problem with. But once they start to ask me for serious advice or try to sell something to me... Woah, please don't cross the line while you're staying fake. I'm only trying to be nice to you but how much do I trust you? None. Zero percent. If you think about it from a user's point of view like that, you'll understand it's important to "build trust" by showing your true self to make your affiliate business sustainable.

Scammy Sales Page but Great Product, What's The Catch?

For a one-time fee of $9, you can learn so much about affiliate marketing. How is the seller making money? I honestly don't know, and it's none of my business, but I can only speculate by sharing my view on the "affiliate-marketing-training market".

There are certainly hundreds of affiliate marketing training programs, if not thousands. The tutors all try to come up with different approaches and unique teaching methods but it's only affiliate marketing, the basics don't change.

Some tutors charge thousands of dollars, but not necessarily great. Some training programs are available at a low cost but you get what you pay for. While some great tutors offer their entire modules for free (they make money by selling something else).

People who seriously want to start an affiliate business know that they don't have to pay a lot to learn it. In other words, the training market is saturated and the tutors all struggle to sell their courses. Perhaps that's why some of them are having to target a new audience - lazy, get-rich-quick dreamers. And perhaps that's the reason they make such a silly sales video, totally misrepresenting such a decent training program like Domain Heist.
