Who Is This System For?
This system would be for anyone who wants to try affiliate marketing without learning about the process. Everything is done for you except the most important aspect… driving traffic to your funnels.
What can I say? This is for “lazy marketers”, lol.
Actually, you can’t be too lazy. As I said, you need to drive traffic to your promotions or you won’t be making any money.
There is a “traffic” upsell that will show you various methods to do this, but you’ll still have to do the work yourself.
And unless you plan on paying $97 to have it all set up for you, Kevin is assuming you already have your own website, or at least know how to go about setting that up yourself.
You should also know that Kevin’s funnels are to promote MMO (make money online) products only.
If you’re interested in promoting diet or self-improvement products, for example, this won’t work for you!
How Does It Work?
Kevin is definitely trying to tap into your need to make money fast…
Limited Time Offer
Nope, don’t believe it. Sure, he had a discounted price for a week or so when he launched the product. It was about $12 or $13 I believe. That’s what most of the other reviews say online. But that price is over now!
Even though the sales page says it’s a limited time offer, and only available for 3 days, it isn’t. It’s still here after 5 weeks, and the set price of $27 will remain until he takes the system offline.
These are scarcity tactics that many marketers use. They are actually quite effective to help push people into buying.
Step by Step Training
Yes, there’s step by step training, but maybe not what you think it is.
The video training is to show you how to upload and activate your funnel to your website and autoresponder. It isn’t training about the “why” and “how” to build your own sales funnel.
Make Money Today
Kevin claims that you will make your commissions as soon as 24 hours.
These types of statements frustrate me so much!
I can honestly say that this is a huge exaggeration. Unless you’re an experienced marketer with a huge email list, I would think this is rare, if not impossible.
If you are experienced and do have a huge following, then maybe you could. But the question is… if you’re experienced, why would you need this product? Lol
Ok, let’s look at what you get inside…
The Member Area
When you access your member area, you’ll first get a brief welcome video by Kevin.
Next, come the training videos. These are well done, over-the-shoulder style, showing you how to set up your funnel. These are short and to the point, which is nice.
Kevin walks you through each step, then shows you how to test your funnel.
Lesson #15 on “traffic generation” IS NOT showing you how to drive traffic to your offer. He’s basically trying to convince you to purchase the 10X Traffic upsell for $37.
If you’re a total beginner, this upsell is needed to show you the different ways you can use to drive traffic to your site.
And now you know how some marketers make their money!! They hold back a crucial part of the system, in order to get his customers to spend more money.
You see, if you don’t have traffic, you won’t make any money!
It’s still relatively cheap for the upsell, but know that driving traffic to your offer takes time and work. Setting up a DFY is the easy part.
3rd Party Services
You will need additional services to pay for to make this funnel work for you. They recommend:
Aweber autoresponder service
This is the service I use, and I love it. I recommend this also because they don’t have an issue with MMO products. Many services out there will not support affiliate marketers.
If you’re new, Aweber is great for you to start. If you already have an autoresponder, this system will not upload your leads for you. You will have to manually upload your list into your own email capture service, and manually upload the follow up series.
Landing Page Builder
For ease of importing his templates, Kevin recommends Optimize Press or Thrive Themes. Both of these services are excellent.
I personally use Thrive Themes, and I can say it’s the cream of the crop!
I recommend you look into both to see which one suits you better. I don’t use Optimize Press myself, but I know many who do and like it.
If you choose the monthly membership with Thrive Themes, you will have access to all their products, not only the landing page builder.
Done For You Setup
This is the easiest way to go if you don’t mind spending another $97.
The big advantage is that the platform will host your funnel for you!
There are pros and cons to this.
- Pros – everything is done for you & you don’t need a website or hosting or page builder service.
- Cons – you can only choose from one of Kevins funnels
Do you want to rely on only one funnel? That’s a big disappointment. Maybe someday he’ll offer more?
If you do have it set up, you will still need Aweber.
If you would like to use all his funnels, you will need to get your own website.
Please know that this system assumes you already have your own website, or know how to set one up.
In this case, you’ll need:
- Domain name
- WordPress (I recommend a hosting service that offers WordPress)
- Website hosting(I recommend finding one that has a website builder included)
The Bonuses
The bonuses are decent and will provide you with additional training.
IM Emails Pro
This is an upsell to Kevin’s product called IM Emails. This is a $30 value for you.
You’ll get access to his email marketing software with all his professional emails, training, reports, and his Facebook support group.
Genesis Affiliate Marketing
This is a video course by Kevin and Brendan Mace. It’s video training on how to get free traffic. The front end product is $13.95 with over $2K in upsells. You will only get the video training in this system.
Live Webinar Training
This can provide you with extra training and help by Kevin himself.
Pros
- Low Cost
- 14-day Money-back guarantee
- Done-for-you material
Cons
- API is only for Aweber
- Unrealistic income claims
- No traffic training
- You don’t learn how to build your own business
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
The Lazy Affiliate Method is just that… lazy, lol. In this day and age, people are impatient and want to make money NOW. And this is the reason why so many marketers are creating products like this.
They are relying on people’s desire to have everything done for them, and believe it will bring money in faster.
And Kevin is no different. He’s been making money online since 2007, and he knows how to market his products. It’s nice to see him sharing his funnels like this, but it’s really not teaching you how the process really works.
It’s just plugging in numbers and relying on his funnels to work for you. Remember… you still need traffic!
Is Lazy Affiliate Method a scam? No
Would I recommend it? Yes & No
Yes, because I think it could work, if you have a large email list and don’t mind bombarding them with offer after offer.
No, because you’re not learning how to set up your own successful online business.
If you’ve gotten to know me from my other reviews, you’ll know that I don’t like these done for you systems. You are putting all your eggs in one basket. And a basket you don’t own.
Imagine if you pay to have everything set up for you so you don’t have to pay for hosting or a page building service. Ok, that’s fair…
But what happens if Kevin disappears overnight. I’m not saying he will, but it has happened to people before. And if his system disappears, so does your business.
Now what? Back to square one with no knowledge of how to start up again. Unless you purchase the next shiny object, that is!
There are many successful marketers out there that have tried this route, and admit they made a huge mistake. One such marketer is Aaron Chen. He and I agree on the same thing…
DFY stuff just doesn’t work in the long run. You need to create your own business and build a trusting relationship with your followers.

Hi, Suzanne,
A very detailed review. People are starting to realize that money can be made online.
However, many of us want quick results and it doesn’t work like that.
I started out in affiliate marketing a couple of months ago and have learned a lot. I have not made a single penny yet, but I’m sure that I will soon.
Having said that, I don’t think I would try Lazy Affiliate. I’m lazy but not as much lol.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Enrique, and thanks for your comment.
Welcome to the world of affiliate marketing. And yes, your right. Nothing comes quick, but with time and commitment, you’ll be surprised at the money you can make.
Unfortunately, there are those marketers who try to make money by appealing to people’s impatience. It’s frustrating but I guess any industry has its bad apples.
If you ever need a hand, let me know. I’m here to help.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hi Suzanne, great piece!
I love the way you give an honest opinion on the lazy affiliate method.
You’re right, affiliate marketing is far from lazy in any sense. It takes a lot of work to succeed online.
I look forward to checking out more of your work in the future.
I’ve heard Thrive Themes are the best but was told to stick with a simple WordPress theme. I’m starting to reconsider that, though.
Thanks, Suzanne! 🙂

Hi Will, and thanks for your comment.
You’re right, lol. Affiliate marketing isn’t for the lazy!
This program makes it seem that way, but they’re not telling you the whole truth. The hardest part is driving traffic to your offers!
As for Thrive Themes, I use their plugins with my WordPress site. They are currently working on their own theme
which I’m waiting for. Then the whole website would be awesome!
Cheers,
Suzanne
