Commission Ritual by Brian Johnson
Brian Johnson’s Commission Ritual is an affiliate marketing course that aims to show newcomers how to make money online without having to spend and substantial investment in product inventory or advertising. It is a 121-page e-book, and the download page gives the student access to about 90 how-to videos that collectively cover the major components of the course.
The core ideology behind Commission Ritual is that there are profitable niche markets (sub-markets or micro-markets) online that have buyers, and don’t have a lot of direct competition.
Commission Ritual shows the student exactly how to find such niche markets, using free research and informational gathering tools such as the free Wordtracker tool, Google Adwords Keyword Tool, and Google Insight for Search. A key idea behind market research is keyword research. Once the student has identified a number of profitable keywords (which, in this context, are search queries that are typed into Google that indicate that the searcher has a given level of commercial intent), it’s then time to move to the next phase.
The next phase involves knowing how you’ll build your site. Chapter 3 of Commission Ritual, titled Ritual Ranking Formula, gives a 9-point checklist of criteria that have to be met for your new site to do well. If you’re new to this and haven’t built a site before, that’s fine—that’s what’s coming up. At this point, it’s important for the student to understand the 9 criteria of a site that ranks well. (By “ranks well,” I’m referring to a site that has a good chance of showing up in the Google search results for a given search query, ideally at the #1 position.)
Before moving further, it’s important to note that one reason why Commission Ritual-like sites tend to do well is because they get a lot of traffic. Free traffic, from the search engines. This is very often the case because first, a Commission Ritual student finds a niche market with the opportunity for someone to build a site centered around that niche market’s needs. Because there is little competition in this niche (by competition, I mean sites that are indexed in Google for that niche’s commercial keywords), it is relatively easy to rank for keywords in this niche.
Next, the student learns how to take everything they’ve learned so far, and prepare to build their first site. One neat thing about Commission Ritual is that there’s a very organizational approach to building your site. That is, there’s a file that you put all of your keywords and main site components onto, and you use this as a guide to fill in the various components of your site.
Next is one area where Brian’s course shines. With traditional site-building and SEO, a lot of promotion is required for a site to show up in a favorable position in the search engine results. However, Commission Ritual students have found that by following the 9-point Ritual Ranking Formula, their sites are so well-optimized for the search engines that only a little bit of quality promotion is necessary for a site to rank favorably. Having said that, Commission Ritual lists a variety of free ways for the student to promote their site.
In the second half of the e-book, the student is introduced to the Ritual Site Formulas. Basically, Brian Johnson has been able to do well with eBay, seasonal sites, and as a Market Health affiliate. The e-book ends by giving you a conclusive, motivational advice for following-through on your intentions and taking action.
In conclusion, Commission Ritual is a course that really provides a lot of value. In addition to the e-book and 90 step-by-step videos, Brian Johnson also has a forum for his customers. Brian is very active in his forum, and also offers an Inner Circle where he offers ongoing, monthly content. Brian himself has been highly acclaimed by Alex Goad, who allowed Brian to teach his Google Conquest customers.
