How much money did you spend looking for that training that is going to get you on the right path? That money-making path. That profitable affiliate marketing path.

How Much? Hundreds? Thousands? For me, it was damn near a thousand dollars. I spent $500 on a terrible product. No refunds.

A couple hundred on some decent smaller training modules that did ok, but was missing a lot of important information. The closest I came to something decent was $300 bucks on a yearly subscription to one of the more prominent training programs.

But the training was outdated and the people involved were just awful. I don’t care about the owners got damn Lambo, I just want the training I paid for. No refund on that one either.

Sound familiar? We have all been there. Anyone that has ever wanted to make some money online has probably gotten taken at least once. If not then you are one lucky entrepreneur.

You get stung enough and it makes you want to quit. I thought about it. I thought about just hanging it up and crawling back to a desk job designed to keep me poor and make my bosses richer. But then I started listening to this dude on Youtube.

He was giving out some great information for free. Stuff I have just paid for this guy Franklin Hatchett was giving out for free. I took notice. I kept watching and eventually made my way to his paid course on affiliate marketing. Savage Affiliates. I did my own research and the reviews looked pretty good. They were real reviews though.

Some of these other programs have 1000’s of reviews and they all gave it 5 stars. Not Savage Affiliates though, the scores were honest and varied and touched on the good and the bad. Now after a few months in the Savage Affiliates Program, I am going to add my review to the list.

Savage Affiliates isn’t perfect.

But it is good, great even. Let’s get this review started.

Who Is Franklin Hatchett?

Franklin Hatchett is an online entrepreneur and affiliate marketer who has been in the trenches of affiliate marketing for years. He has created multiple free training modules on his Youtube channel and is the architect behind Savage Affiliates and his dropshipping course E-com Elites.

I like listening to Franklin because his style is natural.  If he makes a mistake in his Savage Affiliate training program he just corrects himself and moves one.  He doesn’t reshoot the whole thing and try to make it a perfect production.

The information he provides is what is valuable, not how it is presented necessarily.  He hails from New Zealand and is your guide and teacher through your affiliate marketing journey with Savage Affiliates.

The last thing that I really like about Franklin Hatchett is that he is actively using his training to build his own businesses.

A lot of affiliate gurus haven’t been in the trenches figuring out what is working and what doesn’t for a year, or a decade in some cases. Their training no longer works but they keep selling it on ancient data.

Affiliate marketing moves way to fast to sit it out and live off your old triumphs. Stuff that worked in 2017 is completely irrelevant today. Franklin knows this because is out there doing every day.

It is refreshing.

What is Savage Affiliates?

Savage Affiliates is an A to Z affiliate marketing training program created by Franklin Hatchett. This is one of the most comprehensive training programs that I have ever seen.

There are modules for all types of techniques and strategies that you can use to build up successful and Powerful affiliate marketing business they can be used to generate thousands of dollars in passive income for years to come.

And when I say passive income I mean it will become passive eventually. It’s not passive at the start and nowhere in the Savage Affiliates training does it claim to be.

This takes a lot of work upfront and a lot of time. Often it will take six months or more before you start seeing any real income from all the hard work that you put in at the start.

But that’s what Savage Affiliates is it’s an investment in the future. an investment in your future. just like it was an investment in my future. Savage Affiliates gives you the foundation upon which you can build a successful business and a more prosperous future for yourself and your family.

Who is Savage Affiliates for?

Savage Affiliates is really not directed at any one type of marketer.

It’s great for a beginner because it has all the basic information you need about setting up a website and then building your affiliate marketing business from that Foundation.

But it’s also great for intermediate and advanced affiliate marketers because it tells really deep into some great event techniques like how to get the most out of Facebook ads and how to create funnels that are actually going to convert for you.

So who is Savage Affiliates for? Well, the answer is just about anybody who wants to learn affiliate marketing and is willing to put in the work.

There are 7 courses on Google ads, 10 on Facebook ads and a couple on Solo ads and other options. It is just as robust and content filled as the rest of the Savage Affiliates Package.

I have never really had to jump into paid traffic and so I did not go through this part of the training.

As you can see from the other modules there are already hundreds of hours of content you have to deal with. I suggest picking a traffic type and mastering it before moving on to something else.

So for this module, I am going to just list the courses and not provide a description of them. Once you pick up Savage Affiliates you can dive into these courses at your leisure.

This is not free traffic from search engines, that is covered in the SEO traffic section. This is additional traffic that you can generate from places like forums, comments, and Quora.

There is also a huge section on getting traffic from youtube. There are 10 modules on just Youtube. The reason for this is that Youtube is a great place to get free traffic from currently.

There is no sandbox so you can get ranked and have the traffic coming in very quickly if you follow this training.

The Price-Value Proposition of Savage Affiliates

One of the most important aspects of anything that you buy is the price. But price alone is not really the defining factor of whether or not a product is worth the money.

It certainly factors in and is a big part of the overall value proposition, but whether a product is worth the money or not is largely dependent on the value that the product provides.

So we look at Savage Affiliates’ overall price. It’s $197 dollars.   that’s quite a bit of money. By any metric, almost $200 is going to be a lot of money. Now when you compare it to other affiliate marketing training programs it’s much less.

Many of these affiliate training programs cost well over $1,000 individual courses cost thousands of dollars. Some of these training courses have an entry fee of maybe 30 bucks but to get the whole package you have to pay hundreds or thousands more and upsells.

The great thing about Savage affiliates is it is just $197. Whether the price goes up in the future with the Savage Affiliates version 2.0 release remains to be seen. But right now at $197, it is the best deal an affiliate marketing.

And there are no upsells. I can’t stress enough how important that is to have the entire affiliate marketing training program that Franklin hatches put together all for one price.

You rarely see this type of value in a training program at such a great price point. Other programs may have a similar amount of training but they often cost much more or that training is just subpar.

In other words, they have thousands of hours of training but it’s just garbage and doesn’t serve any purpose other than to allow them to say they have thousands of hours of training.

There are a couple of exceptions, a training program like Project 24(see the head to head review here) which is over twice the cost of Savage Affiliates has a similar price-value proposition.

For my money, Savage Affiliates is the best price to value affiliate marketing training program I have ever seen. Even if the prices go up with version 2.0 the people that bought in early, like me, will get that version 2.0 upgraded for free.

So if you were to buy it tomorrow and then the day after that the upgrade to version 2.0 came out you would get the update for free and only be $197 for the entire package.

The simple truth of the price and the value of savage Affiliates is this. Franklin Hatchett decided not to be incredibly greedy. That’s really what it comes down to. He could have easily charged $500 $1,000 probably $2,000 for this exact training program.

But he didn’t. It’s shocking really to see someone put their product before the profits and the community before the profits in the affiliate marketing space.

That’s why when I rate this part of the affiliate program the price and the value it’s a perfect 10. So kudos to Franklin Hatchett for making a great product and selling at a fair price.

It reminds me of an old Henry Ford Quote.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

Henry Ford (source)

It is not a one to one translation to affiliate marketing but I think it fits nicely with what Franklin Hatchett has produced.

Make the best quality affiliate marketing product possible and sell it at the lowest cost possible.

---

The Savage Affiliates Community

Savage Affiliates Community might be the weakest point of this entire affiliate training program. Not because the people aren’t great they are.

Most of them know their stuff from front-to-back and really putting to use the Lessons Learned in the Savage Affiliates training program. Making great websites and earning some cash and building up their affiliate business.

The problem is it’s a really small community.

There are only maybe 1000 people that have joined the Facebook group. That’s just an estimate but it seems like that’s about right.

The problem with that is sometimes a question can take a little bit of time to get answered. Franklin Hatchett comes in and answers questions on a regular basis.

The fact is Franklin Hatchett has his own business has to worry about and is in the trenches actually doing affiliate marketing which a lot of these other gurus are not doing.

So some of the questions do get left for a little while to be answered. The problem is if you need an answer quickly it can be a bit of an issue. And that’s why I kind of knock points off of the community and support aspect of the  Savage Affiliate training program.

---

Savage Affiliates Support

The support for Savage affiliate is pretty good. It ties in a little bit with the community sometimes you have to ask questions about the program to the community and wait for an answer.

But the actual support is pretty quick I emailed with an issue I had and it was fixed within hours. And I haven’t heard any horror stories of people not being able to get their issues fixed right away.

The only real issue with the support is their refund policy. They have a 30-day refund policy. They’ll give you your money back you just have to demonstrate that you gave an honest attempt at using the information provided in the Savage affiliate training program.

It’s a little convoluted to do it this way.

However, I understand exactly why it is done this way. If it were simply no questions asked, you would just have people sign up copy all the information and then quit and just be losing money hand-over-fist.

So it’s a hassle for a legitimate person who wants to get their money back. Maybe you didn’t like the training or didn’t find it useful it can be a little bit of a hassle to get a refund.

I think it’s a hassle that needed to be applied to protect the integrity of the program as a whole.

Still, I knock a couple points off for it because it does inconvenience people with legitimate issues.

My Thoughts On Savage Affiliates

If you have made it this far into the review then you already know my feeling on Savage Affiliates. It is great. Truly great. The training is top-notch.

There is an absolute ton of it. Calling it an A to Z training program for affiliate marketing doesn’t do it enough justice.

And then there is the price point. A one-time payment of $197 dollars is absolutely incredible. There are keyword tools that cost more than that per month. Like double or triple that really.

Savage Affiliates is the best value in affiliate marketing training right now. Other courses, like Project 24, are equal to it in terms of training but they cost over twice as much. Franklin Hatchett really knocked it out of the park with this one.

Highly Recommended.

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day.
