Are you also as much tired as me of all these ‘guru’ training courses on the web these days? It looks like everyone has created a video course, an ebook or another product which ‘guarantees’ making you money online. The reality is though, the majority of these products are a waste of time and money – but it can be really hard work to find out which ones are the golden ones; and each one of us have been taken in by a product that ended in dissatisfaction AT MINIMUM once. Affilo Blueprint however, has not been a dissatisfaction.

Affilo Blueprint Review: First off though, let’s talk about what AffiloBlueprint actually is. Created by Super- Affiliate Mark Ling and his Affilorama team, AffiloBlueprint claims to be a complete system for creating profitable affiliate web sites. When the course was released the first time last year, Mark Ling essentially was using this method to build a website in front of a live crowd – a websites which in turn ended up generating $500 per month in profit! In this latest launch, Ling goes over the exactly same methodology, but with an improved format and more complete lessons.

What really is this ‘blueprint’? The entire idea of Affilo Blueprint is that you are able to setup multiple sites, in any viable niche you like, by using the same techniques over and over again. This means you can create an empire of small $50 per week sites, and then just make up your revenue by building a lot of websites. After that, as Mark Ling describes, if you reinvest some of that cash back into the websites in the shape of building content and SEO campaigns, you can extremely quickly accelerate your income into the thousands per week – just by beginning with a few $50 per week niche sites. This is got to be one of the simplest, but yet most efficient methods I’ve seen for creating this stage of income with affiliate marketing.

So what is included in the product? AffiloBlueprint is a 12 week course with over 50 video lessons. Starting out with how to find a successful niche as well as researching the market, you’re taken through finding keywords, creating articles, building a website, search- engine-optimization, writing newsletters, analytics and troubleshooting (this lesson is excellent!), and pay per click. So as you can see, extremely comprehensive!

One of the sole disadvantages with this course is that, with so many information icluded, you could be tempted to rush through parts. I warn you, don’t do that! Everything in this course is there for a reason, and if you go through it as it is laid out, you will almost certainly be able to set up a money making niche site.

With AffiloBlueprint also comes a custom made Wordpress template, so if you never built a niche site before, you can just take a template built by affiliate marketing experts to create your website. To make this product as much newbie-proof as possible Mark Ling has gone through a lot of trouble, that’s for sure. Every step is actually clearly explained and you don’t need to have any knowledge, so if you are in the beginning with your online experience, Affilo Blueprint is made for you. If you do have some experience with affiliate marketing however, you will still find the step-by-step structure of AffiloBlueprint informative. This can be what you are looking for to build up your profits or fix your under- performing niche sites.

Essentially, I highly recommend Affilo Blueprint as one of the best affiliate training products I’ve reviewed.

Why should you bother?

The life blood of any business is good customer service. New customers are important but good customer service will help generate customer loyalty and repeat business. With each satisfied customer your business is likely to win many more customers through recommendations and remember, if you are not taking care of your customers, your competition will.

Online customer satisfaction surveys will demonstrate to your customers that you care and are proactive in looking for ways to improve the service that you provide.

Where do you start?

Objective – Before you start compiling your survey consider what the objectives of the survey are, in that way you will remain focused and find it easier to decide what questions to ask.

Analysis – In addition to the objectives consider how you will analyze the answers having completed the survey.

Keep in mind that ‘closed’ questions (where the respondent is asked to choose from a limited number of responses) are easier to analyse than ‘open’ questions (where the respondent can reply in anyway they want).

A lot will depend on the predicted volume of respondents, the higher the volume the more important it is to have an easy method of analysing the results.

Opportunity – As well as obtaining valuable market research data keep in mind that customer surveys are also a good way to advertise areas of your service that your customers may not be aware of.

Before you publish the survey confirm that the questions you have asked will provide you with market research data that when analyzed will help you make informed decisions.

Next, read through the survey from a marketing view point, check that you have phrased each question so that every opportunity has been taken to promote your business?

The ideal question will perform the following three functions:-

• Market research – provide valuable feedback to help you improve your customer satisfaction levels and in turn your business
• Marketing – promote aspects of your business
• Information/Education – advertise a service that you provide that your customers may not have been unaware of

For example:- Do you find the in-store baby changing facilities useful?

In asking this question the store will hopefully not only receive useful feedback on the baby changing facility but they will also promote the store as being child-friendly even beyond the customers who actually require the facility.

Warts and all – to benefit most from a customer survey you need to be prepared to accept criticism.

A customer satisfaction survey should be designed to highlight problems so that they can be addressed; regular customer satisfaction will prevent complacency and will also give early warning on where your competitors initiatives may be losing you business.

What questions should you ask?

Although each business is likely to have specific and unique factors that are important in providing good customer services there are common areas that are relevant to all businesses be they a physical store, online internet store or a service industry. The following are key areas to providing good customer service.

Communication – Do you make it easy for the customer to communicate with you?

When customers telephone are their calls answered quickly; are their enquiries about products or services handled properly? Good businesses will make every effort to ensure that whatever the customers query it is resolved by the right person, politely, quickly and fairly.

If customers reported problems that cannot be resolvable immediately do you promise to respond in a given time period and do you deliver on your promise?

Use a customer satisfaction survey to confirm that all your staff are perceived by your customers as being helpful, courteous and knowledgeable.

Location – Are you doing everything you can to ensure that your customers find it easy to visit you, if a physical store, does it have good access and is it conveniently located?

Making it pleasant, making it easy – For an internet business it is important to ensure that your website is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.

Regardless of the store being a bricks and mortar or purely online web based store, is the store properly laid out and can your customers find what they need and is there sufficient detailed information and help on hand to explain how a particular product works?

The right quality products – In addition to measuring the quality of the service that you provide you should ensure that the products and services that you provide do in fact match your customers’ requirements.

Value for money – Cheap or expensive is hardly ever a good measure, value for money is.

Do your current customers consider your services as value for money, if not, why not?

Speed and attention – The majority of customers will want to be dealt with quickly but attentively.

Are you doing everything you can to avoid any delay?

A good business will try to treat each customer as an individual, does yours? Customers appreciate attention but only if it leads to a quick and satisfactory resolution of the query.

Demographics and Specific issues – Take the opportunity to profile your customers, for example their gender, age group and where they live?

The better you understand your customers the more you will be able to properly target your business.

Within the survey allow customers to highlight specific problems and provide contact details.

What is next?

Having completed the survey analyze the results.

Trends – Look for specific and common areas where the customer service is found wanting.

Ask yourself if any criticism is valid, be honest to yourself, is there anything that can be done to properly resolve, or at the very least, minimise the problem?

Training – Are the staff properly trained and do they have sufficient knowledge?

Where customer service training programs have been implemented have they had the desired effect and improved the customer experience?

Follow-up – If a customer who has completed a survey has raised a specific issue do all you can to ensure that their complaint is addressed.

Don’t waste an opportunity to resolve a problem and keep a customer.

Continuously Monitor – Make changes and then measure by issuing further surveys.

If you are interested in tracking customer satisfaction and would like to see a sample survey for a store that demonstrates some of the above advice please view the following example that can be used as a customer satisfaction survey template.
