In the previous step, you should have registered a domain, and activated WordPress. To login to your Bluehost WordPress site, you will need to use the information you have saved.
Step 3: Activate Some Presell Pages
Login to your Clickfunnels account, and click ‘Activate’ on some of the funnels below, to make them your own!
Create a Clickfunnels account if you don’t already have one.
Click ‘Edit Page’ to open up the page editor
Click the links within the page and replace them with your affiliate URL
Step 4: Replace My Affiliate Links With Your Own
To get credit for your affiliate sales, you will need to replace my affiliate links with your own.
Path 2, The Manual Method
Here is how to upload pages using the manual method.
Here are landing pages that you can download and use for your promotions.
Here is How To Upload These Landing Pages
Download a Zip file of whatever landing pages you would like to use
Login to your Bluehost account
Click ‘Advanced’ on the left side of the screen
Click ‘File Manager’
Click ‘public_html’ and enter that folder
Click ‘Upload’ on the menu bar
Drag and drop the zip file of the landers you want to use
Once the file is uploaded, right click on the file, and select ‘Extract’
You now have the landing pages! You just need to change the affiliate links around to be your own now.
Viola! Now you have dozens of landing pages you can use in a whole variety of niches.
I encourage you to do split-tests and put your own twists on things to see if you can beat them.
Exercise
Clickfunnels has an excellent help desk to get you whatever you need. I highly suggest you take some time today perusing through Clickfunnels, get to know the interface, copy some of my pages, and read through their help desk to understand how to use the software.
Being able to edit and use presell pages is a pivotal part of becoming a super affiliate, and the best way to get to know the interface is playing around, clicking on things, and using it.
As frustrating as this may sound, its an essential part of the learning process, and a frankly necessary part of the job.
Spend the next 45minutes playing around with Clickfunnels, enjoy!

Having a website to host your pre-sell page content on is at the core of my affiliate marketing system.
Back in 2012 I had quit my job as an analyst to pursue a life of freedom while I made an income through affiliate marketing.
Unfortunately, while I do my best to inspire and encourage others to go out and pursue their dreams, many give up as the “setup process” to start a website seems too complex for them.
But its not. Below I have outlined an easy step-by-step guide to getting a domain, setting up hosting, and installing WordPress in 10 minutes or less.
There are many ways to start a blog but you will have best control using a self-hosted WordPress blog. This is what most serious marketers use, and what johncrestani.com is built on.
NOTE: The first step for setting up a blog is buying a domain and setting up hosting. If you are not sure about the difference between hosted and self-hosted WordPress, I found this helpful infographic that explains it well. My verdict… stay away from WordPress.com. It’s limiting and does not allow your blog to scale well.
TO GET STARTED HERE ARE A FEW QUICK STEPS:
Getting A Paid Hosting Account (don’t worry this will be cheap)
Buying A Domain Name (Domain Name is what you call a web address i.e. johncrestani.com or .net / .co / .info)
Setting Up Hosting
Installing WordPress
How To Install the Clickfunnels Extension
STEP #1: BUYING A DOMAIN NAME
The domain name of my blog is johncrestani.com. That’s where people find me on the web and is the HUB of my business and where I host my pre-sell pages. Choosing a good domain can be tough. Your domain can either be your name or a branded domain like mine. Luckily, the hosting company I will recommend in step #2 provides you with a free domain for a full year and will usually cost around $11.99 per year thereafter.
STEP #2 SETTING UP A HOSTING ACCOUNT.
This is where your blog will “live.” This is a server in the cloud (i.e., a remote computer), where you will rent space to install the WordPress software and manage your blog. It’s far easier than it sounds… Stick with me.
There are a hundreds of hosting services available. However, based on my experience and research, I recommend Bluehost. I believe it is the best option for most people for the following several reasons:
2. They offer excellent customer service (located in the US).
3. Their packages are highly affordable. If you sign up with the link below, I’ve actually locked my readers a $2.95 per month fee + a free domain! That’s the price of a coffee where i’m from.
4. Their service provides extremely fast page load times.
ACTION STEP: Click HERE to buy your domain and signup for hosting with Bluehost. I have provided a visual guide of the steps below.
– IMPORTANT UPDATE (April 2018) …If you don’t use the above link and just go through bluehost.com, the setup process will be much different. You will be up-sold on many different products such as e-commerce extensions after you register which are not necessary and it will not automatically install WordPress. I asked if they could make it different for my students than they do for the general public to make it more simple and how I explain. They agreed.
> > When starting, use THIS LINK then follow the steps below. < <
BLUEHOST STEP #1
Visit This Link (the same as the one above) and Click “Get Started Now” button. You should see this…
BLUEHOST STEP #2
Choose your plan. If you can afford it, I would highly suggest going with the ‘Plus’ or ‘Prime’ plan as you get unlimited storage and domain privacy (helps a lot).
If your budget is tight (I’ve certainly been there) go ahead and choose the ‘basic’ plan. You can upgrade later if needed.
BLUEHOST STEP #3
Choose your free domain name or bring over your current domain. Both are very easy processes.
BLUEHOST STEP #4
Enter your personal details.
BLUEHOST STEP #5
Choose your plan and any extras which are optional but not necessary. With Bluehost, you don’t pay monthly; you pay yearly, calculated by a monthly rate.
If you chose the ‘Basic’ plan, I would highly suggest getting domain privacy.
BLUEHOST STEP #6
Enter billing information to complete the registration.
BLUEHOST STEP #7
Now it’s time to create a password. Click the blue button which says ‘create your password’.
Type in your desired password then click the box to agree to the terms of service. Then click ‘next’.
BLUEHOST STEP #8
Click the ‘Login’ button to login to your new Bluehost account.
BLUEHOST STEP #9
Bluehost has made it super easy to install WordPress and start a blog. Pick a theme! – How you want your site to look. This isn’t very important since we are going to actually use Clickfunnels to build all of our pages.
BLUEHOST STEP #10
All done! You are now ready to see your WordPress dashboard and begin building your blog. Click “Start Building”
BLUEHOST STEP #11
You should now be in your WordPress dashboard! – Let’s activate your blog. Click “Bluehost” on the top left menu.
BLUEHOST STEP #12
Click “Launch” – Don’t stress, you will not have millions of people viewing your site.
BLUEHOST STEP #13
Give your blog a title and tagline. It doesn’t really matter what you pick honestly.
BLUEHOST STEP #14
Congratulations! Now you have your website, and you have wordpress installed. All you need to do now is install the Clickfunnels plugin to connect it to your site.
Just click ‘Plugins’ on the left side of your screen when you’re logged in, and search for ‘Clickfunnels’ and install the plugin.
This will be detailed in the next step of the system setup.
Congratulations! You have officially started your website. This is only the beginning of an exciting journey for you. If you have any questions or issues please leave a comment below or contact my support at support@johncrestani.com
Student Spotlight: Luis Nakamoto
Luis Nakamoto is from the San Fernando Valley in California, and one of my very first students.
He’s earned over $44,516 PROFIT in a single month from affiliate marketing, and has been earning hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.
He was destined to continue the family business, and work at his family’s Peruvian restaurant, but he had bigger dreams than that.
Luis went down the path of searching for a business that could afford him Freedom, rather than being subject to the confines of restaurant work all day.
He tried out a few network marketing companies at first, and then came across affiliate marketing, eventually to learn about the experiment I was doing, when I was taking on my very first students.
Luis was incredibly persistent about becoming a student of mine, and started learning from me when all I had to offer was a link to a Google Drive folder where I stored some of the video files I had been recording.
Here are some excerpts of an interview I conducted with Luis when we were at an affiliate marketing conference a few years back.
When he started, he had far less than any one of my students has to start out with today. He had:
No Clickfunnels
No weekly webinars
No support
No recurring revenue affiliate programs
Yet he was incredibly persistent, and an incredibly hard worker, and has created many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of income for himself.
Luis started out by using the same method of affiliate marketing that I still prescribe today: Facebook Ads > Presell Page > Offer.
Luis was advertising health related products, all over the world, and was able to generate massive results, I have posted a screenshot of some of his results below.
When you look at his incredible results, keep in mind that times change. Facebook no longer likes people advertising dieting products on their ad network, which is why I recommend you get started with promoting my products on Clickbank, or my affiliate network below.
If you’d like to follow Luis on facebook, you can add him here.
Every quarter, we have live events where you can work with my coaches to define, create, and grow your business. We have four educational tracks within digital marketing that we address: Affiliate Marketing, eCommerce, Digital Consulting, and Info-Product entrepreneurship. My personal breakthrough in business came after I attended a live event. I have partnered with my friend Jeff Lerner to put on these events, and you can signup to speak with one of the advisors at his office in Utah to determine which event track/s are best for you to start with. I obviously recommend starting with the affiliate marketing event, but if others pique your interest, go for it!

He was in my first cohort of students, and was very involved in the course, and an extreme action-taker, always implementing and taking action on everything.
His go-to traffic source has been facebook ads, and he was able to reach the point where he is making $8000 USD per month, with 700% ROI.
He has been able to travel to different countries, and attend major concerts by his favorite rock musicians, which is a freedom that is extremely rare in his home country, where the average income is less than $125 per MONTH.
He is using the same exact method shown in Super Affiliate System, and is using Voluum to help him optimize, which is a more advanced clicktracking program that I address later on in the course.
He shows some of his success, and some of his affiliate campaigns in his testimonial video below:
The fact that Ahsan earns over 5x the average YEARLY wage, in a single MONTH is incredible to me!
Its allowed him to become a massively respected member of his community, and a successful figure that many look up to.

Here are some additional ad networks I use, and are recommended for testing advertising on
Taboola Native Ads Network
Taboola is a very high-quality native advertising network that has access to some of the best inventory possible. They are on lots of top-tier websites, so make sure you use too aggressive of headlines or images to get your ads approved. This network has the possibility for you to scale to mid-5figure or even 100k+ per day adspend, so getting this nailed down can bring you in some massive money. The most important element here is to optimize your targeting with exclusions, and their 3rd-party data providers.
Best data partners for Taboola Audiences for Bizopp
Excelate (Neilsons providor)
Iota
Bombora
Nuestar
Axciom
To add white/blacklists email your placement IDs to support
Recommended to set campaign schedule for each campaign for daylight hours in the countries being targeted (6am-midnight)
Recommended that campaigns are separated by platform (desktop/tablet/mobile)
Campaign Targeting > Audience Segments is where you want to move all advertising to once you have figured out the audiences that are working best with your particular offer. This is where you’ll make a lot of money.
The other way to make money sending traffic as an affiliate is using just the whitelist.
Exoclick is one of the largest volume ad networks that isnt spoken about, mainly because it specializes in porn traffic. That said, its extremely affiliate friendly, has almost zero restrictions on what you can advertise, and extremely cheap ad prices. If you dont mind advertising on porn sites, this is a great place to test some advertising. When I want to test some aggressive advertising, I like trying to test it here, since I dont have to worry about ad approvals or weird restrictions.
