High-ticket affiliate coach John Wilson has named his six-month coaching program the "Holy Grail of Affiliate Marketing—How To Sell Digital Products You Don't Own Using On-Demand 'Pizza Traffic. '"
As a successful internet marketer, John has made his expertise accessible to anyone eager to build a profitable, long-term online business without getting overwhelmed by marketing and technology.
This program is particularly well-suited for beginners and retirees who need guidance in several key areas. These include building a funnel, creating a list, and starting a blog. Additionally, they will learn how to utilize YouTube marketing and select suitable promotional offers.
Additionally, if you are a lower-intermediate marketer who has made some money online but requires assistance identifying the missing pieces for more consistent earnings, this coaching program can also benefit you.
However, this program is unsuited for marketers already generating significant income online. The only scenario in which I see a successful marketer investing in this coaching would be to review it and promote it to their audience.
All coaching clients are automatically approved for the coaching affiliate program, which offers high commissions.
Although this coaching is considered a high-ticket offer, financing options are available for those who qualify.
My Experience With The Program So FarJohn Wilson delivers two crucial marketing assets very early in the coaching process.
First, he populates your email marketing system with a 30-day follow-up email sequence promoting his low-ticket offers. Second, he finances one solo ad run to help you gain subscribers who will receive those follow-up emails.
Early in the coaching, I encountered a unique negative experience; however, John promptly addressed it, demonstrating his integrity as an internet marketer.
About a week after John gave me control of approximately 250 subscribers he had built for me, Systeme's autoresponder service suspended my email account due to spam complaints. According to John, this was the first time one of his coaching clients had faced such an issue.
I had been using single-opt-in with Systeme, which is highly susceptible to spam complaints.
After exploring alternative email marketing systems, John and I switched to LeadsLeap, which operates a double-opt-in email system that is more secure than a single opt-in one.
Since my original list was lost, John covered the cost of another solo ad to rebuild it. Since then, there have been no issues with LeadsLeap and not a single spam complaint.
I achieved a 20% opt-in rate with LeadsLeap, which is decent for a double-opt-in list. In contrast, my single opt-in list that was shut down had an exceptionally high opt-in rate of 70%.
Between the Systeme and LeadsLeap lists, I collectively made twenty sales of $1 and $5.
Given my prior internet marketing experience, I do not require as much consultation with John as newcomers might. Nevertheless, when I reach out to him, he responds quickly.
Furthermore, John provides a valuable weekly coaching call to less experienced clients.
Important Considerations for Prospective ClientsProspective clients should consider two essential points before joining the coaching program.
First, they must invest time and money to learn how to run a successful online business before expecting consistent income.
All clients will incur basic expenses: the coaching fee and a $27 monthly fee for the LeadsLeap mailing system. Optional expenses may include solo ads and screen-sharing software (free options are available).
Second, it is important to note that John does not do everything for you.
While he can advise you on marketing strategies and critique your marketing materials, it is ultimately the client's responsibility to do the work.
For instance, after completing the 30-day email sequence, John advises his clients to become affiliates for other marketers. He encourages his clients to send promotional emails about these marketers' product launches to their own email lists.
Although John's coaching teaches clients how to select good launches to promote, clients still need to narrow their choices among the myriad launches in the market.
Additionally, clients are responsible for writing promotional emails about the launches from scratch or modifying emails provided by the product creators.
Again, John can answer questions about the appropriateness of the selections and structure of the promotional emails. However, clients must also do their part.
What I LikeOne positive aspect of John's approach is that when potential subscribers enter their emails to join my list, they are not immediately confronted with upsells or downsells.
Introducing upsells or downsells right after collecting emails typically necessitates using a single opt-in list. As previously explained, such lists are highly vulnerable to spam complaints since subscribers do not confirm their desire to be on the list.
John Wilson's coaching requires clients to use the LeadsLeap Pro account email system, which operates solely on double opt-in. Subscribers must confirm their interest in being on the list and receiving promotional emails.
Theoretically, this approach should lead to fewer spam complaints.
John's low-ticket offer converts well during the initial email sent through the 30-day follow-up sequence. After this sequence concludes, he encourages clients to send product launch emails regularly.
Promoting product launches is straightforward because numerous launches are available, and product creators often provide promotional emails that coaching clients can easily modify.
John is always willing to critique any promotional email clients create and encourages them to send him their self-created emails and lead magnets for feedback.
Additionally, it's worth noting that John provides solid training in the membership area on YouTube video marketing.
YouTube marketing is free and very effective. Since videos allow marketers to connect with audiences on a deeper level, they can build a far more responsive email list than those built from expensive solo ads alone.
What I Didn't Like
There are some drawbacks to John Willson's coaching.
The open and click-through rates of emails sent to subscribers acquired through solo ads can decline significantly after the first email is sent.
This phenomenon is not due to any shortcomings in the coaching but instead reflects the nature of solo ads.
For this reason, it would have been beneficial if the coaching program had included training on paid traffic sources beyond solo ads—such as Facebook Ads or Bing Ads—and PPV advertising options.
Such training would enable customers to quickly generate leads that are far more responsive than those generated from solo ads.
Additionally, I would have appreciated greater variety in the 30-day stock emails and the products they promote. John intentionally designed these emails to be general so clients could use them to promote any offer.
However, every client receives the same stock emails promoting only one product: John's lowest-ticket offer.
Promoting the same product over 30 days seems excessive. I would have preferred that John also promote one of his or another marketer's mid-ticket products, thus offering clients chances to generate higher sales.
Moreover, while all of these emails were well-written and motivational—motivation is undoubtedly beneficial—it would have been nice to include some educational content as well. This could involve offering free courses or reports that educate subscribers while promoting another offer.
That said, John emphasizes that clients should rewrite some of the stock emails to reflect their voice and personality.
Final VerdictJohn Wilson's coaching program provides valuable resources and support for beginners and lower-intermediate marketers looking to establish an online business.
While it requires an upfront investment of time and money, those willing to put in the effort can benefit from John's expertise and structured approach.
However, experienced marketers may find limited value unless they seek only to review or promote the program.

My experience with the program so far
I was introduced to Paul Hutchings by a mutual friend on Facebook about 3 years ago now, and had decided to try out their Funnel Building tool as I was working on a few business projects that might benefit from having a good way to build landing pages and other mini websites.
At the time there were a lot of issues with the builder and I was doing a lot of volunteer work in Arizona that took me away from my business activity, so I stepped away for a few months.
As fate would have it a mutual friend introduced me to Paul at a function in Las Vegas where we had talked about many things and I began to have a newfound respect for both Paul and Mike Hobbs and their vision for The Home Business Academy. Long story short, I had looked at several other Funnel Builders and was shocked to find out how expensive they were and was urged to give HBA another look as they had worked out all the bugs in the previous version of the Funnel Builder. And they certainly have!
Although I wasn't particularly interested in the Business Opportunity at the time due to other commitments, I was blown away at the Funnel Builder and how easy and user friendly it was to build literally anything from scratch within an hour or two.
I started attending their trainings and was up to speed on how powerful this system was.
What I Like About The Home Business Academy
The Funnel Builder is phenomenal and is well worth by 10x the $25 price tag monthly. The simplicity of the builder is unlike any other drop and drag tool I've ever seen, and I have used it for many projects in multiple businesses over the last few years.
The trainings within the HBA are short and concise and easy to understand and put into practice from the very beginning. And the premium live trainings are where you can literally ask questions and have them answered by Paul, Mike, and many other members of The Home Business Academy who are like family once you get to know them.
The most amazing thing to me about this opportunity is the fact that they pay a whopping 80% commission on every sale you make!
The access to the community is also something that cannot be quantified because the mentorship and answers are literally minutes away.
What I dislike About HBA
To be honest, the only thing I don't like about The Home Business Academy is the fact that the ease of use of the Funnel Builder has spoiled me so much that I find it excruciatingly difficult to use anything else.
Final Verdict
The ethics of everyone at the company are unlike any other company I've ever been involved with. And the daily, weekly and monthly motivation, training and skills you will receive can and will change your life for the better no matter what your current skill level is.
If you're looking for a solid business opportunity with an incredibly low start up cost that can have you in profit with only 2 sales with an unlimited income potential, then you owe it to yourself to take a look. No matter what you're promoting this small investment in your business will pay dividends for years to come. I couldn't recommend anything as highly as I do The Home Business Academy.
