Affiliate Rebirth, which was just relaunched by Grigory Kononenko, Stefan Ciancio, and Shahnawaz Sadiquee, is a video training program for affiliate marketers that makes some bold claims about how much money you’ll earn by setting up websites. In essence, the program claims that you’ll make $3K-$5K/month by implementing its revolutionary affiliate marketing methods.
- Inbox Dollars - Get paid to check your email. $5 bonus just for signing up!
- Survey Junkie - The #1 survey site that doesn't suck. Short surveys, high payouts, simply the best.
- Nielsen - Download their app and get paid $50!
Supposedly, this program teaches you a completely different method for doing affiliate marketing, making over $1K/week, and not having to pay for traffic.
Yes, you heard right: According to Affiliate Rebirth’s creators, you will learn how to make a sizable passive income using free traffic-generation methods. You won’t even need to do any email or social media marketing.
Does Affiliate Rebirth live up to its hype? I bought this program at its advertised price of $17.70 to learn more.
Inside Affiliate Rebirth
Once my order went through, I found myself looking at the following:
Upsell #1
For $47, Grigory will give you researched information on 10 niche sites you can build right now, complete with affiliate products, keywords, Amazon keywords, and competitor info. This upsell is called the Done-for-You Pack.
Upsell #2
For another $47, Grigory will enable you to copy and paste his most successful niche sites, saving you the hassle of designing your sites and generating content for them. This upsell is called Affiliate Rebirth Elite $60k Case Studies Bundle.
Upsell #3
The third upsell you see is this one, which Grigory says will provide you with secret link-building strategies for your niche sites. This upsell is priced at $27.
Once you get past these three upsells, you’re taken to your Affiliate Rebirth account area, which in my case was hosted by JVZoo. Here, you open up four modules of the following training videos:
Module 1: Niche Selection
Earnings proof (3:18)- In this introductory video, you see the kinds of web traffic that Grigory’s (and his colleagues’) niche websites are generating.
How to find a profitable niche (13:57)- You are taught how to spot great niches by perusing Amazon’s Full Stores and Best Sellers. You are also told to look at big websites and see which products they are pushing.
Criteria to access profitability (12:24)- Grigory goes through Google SERP results and advises duplicating their subject matter for eventual ranking of your content.
Basics of keyword research (6:59)- What are keywords and how do you select the best ones for traffic? Grigory goes through these questions and introduces head, body and long-tail keywords.
Buying intent keywords (6:47)- Here, it is explained that you need traffic generated from buying intent keywords rather than informational keywords, even if that traffic is smaller. Branded keywords are also introduced.
Product research on Amazon and generating buying intent keywords (13:19)- Here, you learn how to do product research on Amazon. Keywords research tools are introduced, including Google Keyword Planner, Long Tail Pro, and SEMRush.

Silo structure (4:52)- The idea of categorizing keywords by silo, or category, is introduced. Grigory goes over the concept of keyword silos and how to build them.
Supporting posts (2:34)- The supporting posts link to epic posts and use less popular keywords than epic posts.
Epic posts (4:29)- Epic posts are introduced and described. Grigory also shows example epic posts via his Google searches.
Keyword tips for content (2:49)- Grigory provides additional tips on how keywords can be placed into content for improved SEO.
Get out of Sandbox quickly (3:24)- After your site is launched, it might be placed into the Google Sandbox. This is a location where your site and its keywords are not yet ranked. Grigory explains how you can get out of the Sandbox sooner.

Affiliate Rebirth: Pros and Cons
Like every training program, Affiliate Rebirth has its pros and cons. Here are some of the positive aspects of the course:
Pros
Affiliate Rebirth offers a comprehensive training program for people who wish to create affiliate websites and see them rank quickly. Lots of time is spent showcasing actual examples of niche sites, link strategies, blogs, etc. There are also additional resources located at the bottom of each video module for further reading.
The program offers a 30-day money-back guarantee that is honored. My refund request was processed within two days, no questions asked.
Cons
Affiliate Rebirth is fairly new and has some rough edges to smooth out before it can become a top-of-the-line training program. For starters, many of its videos feature typed pages of notes that are hard to read. Some of the presenters have rather heavy accents that may be difficult to follow, especially for non-native English speakers. There’s even a point in one of the training videos where Stefan can be heard swearing just before he cuts the video.
The product does not offer a member forum, although it does feature a webinar that one can register for. This webinar might be offered weekly or monthly; the next webinar is scheduled for August 9th.
The Bottom Line: Is Affiliate Rebirth a Scam?
At $17, Affiliate Rebirth is offering up a lot of value for the price. You are given quality information and videos packed full of useful resources to get an affiliate marketing website up and running.
For a beginner affiliate marketer, Affiliate Rebirth offers some good training and examples. More advanced affiliate marketers will probably wish to look elsewhere for in-depth training and strategies. It’s doubtful that, just using the techniques discussed in the base product at Affiliate Rebirth alone, you would come to generate $3K-$5K/month, but you would certainly be on your way towards earning some money through your niche websites.
As for the advertised free traffic, yes, it could be completely free if you did all the work involved in link posting, writing comments and guest posts, etc., but you will then be dedicating a lot of your time towards these efforts. Some of the advertised methods were ways I’d never recommend. I find infographics to be completely useless and blog commenting is only really effective if the blog has allowed dofollow links.
All in all, Affiliate Rebirth is not a scam and is absolutely worth the advertised price.
I just finished reading your article and i had never heard of Affiliate Rebirth before now.
I know they are some what new because I have been looking into making money online for awhile now and I did not hear of this until today.
You gave then a good ranking, but they seem to make some claims in their numbers that I question.
Ant other programs that you could recommend I look into?

A lot of the information looks like some of the same training provided on Wealthy Affiliate, but more watered down.
Also, the amount of upsells they force you into would make me feel like I was deceived.
Is that part about being able to repost their biggest sites and earn money a real thing?
Seems a little bit unethical.
I enjoyed the review overall.
Ive Tried That; I had not heard of Affiliate Rebirth before
I would be unfair to say that it is a Scam.
My understanding of your post. The founders of this Affiliate rebirth have some knowledge of Affiliate Marketing that they want to share with people.
However, with the up sell policy a lot of newbies will not afford to cost.
You have done a thorough work in this review. Continue onward.

To be honest, I was surprised to see that you had rated this program as highly as you did. This is simply because I always have trouble believing any program that claims a certain amount of money or traffic to people. You know what they say; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
But yes, the upsells part is very off putting for me too, as others have said.
Wow, I have to say that was a hell of a review. You did a great job with lots of detail and great screen shots with full explanations. If it had been me I would have run out of energy trying to complete a review like that.
I had never heard of Affiliate Rebirth before, until this evening. I don’t think I will be joining them anytime soon since Wealthy Affiliate is my go to for education at least.
I wish I had run into some reviews like the one you just performed for Affiliate Rebirth.
I do believe you have saved many people from buying into a real headache. It’s so disappointing to purchase something that is misrepresented by the maker; especially if they tell you “you can make $3,000 a month just by doing what we do, just copy and paste”. A person such as myself when I was new, would have jumped at that and purchased it until I got to the 3rd up-sell that is. I think up-sells are the scourge of internet marketing. Nothing makes me more mad than to purchase the product and can’t wait till I can open it up and try it than to have a product up-sell come along, but another, and then a third up-sell. I would have cancelled my original order right then and gotten a refund.
It almost sounds as if this could have been their first product that they built to sell with all the rough edges and all? Three up-sells is quite a bit of money so they took someone literally and dreamed up their own product, but they added statements that might have been true for them after a few years of marketing. I’m glad you make it clear that obviously, a newbie is probably not going to make the kind of money that they mentioned.
I would have enjoyed being a birdie in your pocket though because there were a few things that you mentioned that I would have enjoyed learning as well.
Thanks for taking the time for doing such an in-depth review about Affiliate Rebirth.
Seeing that there are Upsells completely turns me off. These people sure has the knowledge to share and maybe they really want to help people. But how about those who cannot afford the upsells, those who will bet all their money following this course? I am now saying this is scam as I didn’t tried this myself but I experienced purchasing upsell that didn’t amount to anything and worse, I spend a lot of money on a course that is way obsolete. Nice review though! Very thorough and honest. Keep it up! :)
I don’t think this is the program that I want to get into. What turns me off right away are the “upsells.” One is bad enough for me, let alone 3! And you can make 3k-5k monthly by just applying what’s inside the Affiliate Rebirth? I don’t know. Maybe this is just too good to be true.
Or maybe I’m not getting it quite clearly. Is this similar with Affilojetpack by Mark Ling’s Affilorama where everything’s created for you? And all you have to do is copy?
I don’t usually mind upsells only as long as they are not necessary to achieve the results being advertised. Once they start cutting out sections of the training just to tack on as an additional cost at the end, then we have some problems. I’m not familiar with Affilojetback unfortunately.
