Have you heard about affiliate marketing and wondering if it’s something you can do? If you’ve been researching this topic, you’ve probably come across this training product. Welcome to my Headway review (by Trevor Carr).
But is Headway a legitimate training program? Or possibly another scam? I don’t blame you for asking because there are so many products available out there that just don’t deliver what they promise.
Sure, the sales page looks awesome, but even the scam artists can create those. So the big question is, can you trust Trevor and Jonas?
I’m glad you’re here researching this product before purchasing.
It’s important to check it out before so that you’re not frustrated and disappointed if you don’t get what you expect.
I’ll show you the training you get inside, and what they will teach you. By the end of my review, you’ll be able to judge for yourself if it’ll work for you.
If you’d like to know where I learned to build my own successful business, check this out…

Who Is This Program For?
This training program is for anyone who wants to learn how to perform a specific form of affiliate marketing via email. This training will teach you how to promote products from WarriorPlus, an affiliate network.
You will learn how to be approved by other product creators to promote their products or learn how to promote your own.
This product also requires 3rd party services, so please be aware of the additional costs required to actually use this training.
The upsells can give you an added boost, and aren’t that expensive. They all come with downsells.
I recommend you get the first three to help quicken your learning process. The 3rd upsell will provide you with your needed traffic. Otherwise, you may have to purchase traffic to be able to get some sales.
How Does It Work?
These gentlemen have been successful online for years now, and they’ve decided to create a product to help train you in the beginning.
This training is for a specific form of affiliate marketing. It mainly involves promoting products to your email list (email marketing).
Sales Page
The sales page is well done and actually, it’s fun to watch Trevor’s video. He’s quite the “ham”, LOL.
He explains how he’s going to help you make real headway to waking up to daily commissions. And they’re giving you the DFY tools to do it.
This is supposed to be the easiest and fastest way to make progress.
They show you some impressive income earnings but remember… These come from two already successful marketers. This doesn’t mean you’ll reach these amounts any time soon! These could only be your future earnings is you become as successful as they are.
Trevor then gives you a 2-minute story about his humble beginnings and remembering his first $1000 commission day.
The testimonials are genuine. I recognize many of these marketers as real, online persons. I know many of them support one another as marketers, but at least they’re real, haha.
OK, let’s see if the product matches the claims…
Member Area/Dashboard
Once you get through the purchasing process (lots of upsell pages…) and finally access the member area, the first thing they want you to do is to register for their free training video.
It says live, but that was at launch time. You’ll be viewing a recording now.
There will then be a quick introductory video from each Trevor and Jonas for you to watch.
A link to join their private Facebook group is also given to you.
Module 1
Module 1 is all about WarriorPlus and how to become an affiliate marketer. There are 4 videos to watch as well as access to a module 1 document with the necessary links.
They offer the tools and products needed to create your affiliate score. This score is what a lot of the vendors use to determine if you will be accepted as their affiliate to promote their products
Video 1 – They talk about the basics of affiliate marketing and what it is.
Video 2 – This talks about building your affiliate score on Warrior Plus, to help your approval rating to promote other vendor’s products.
Video 3 – They will provide you with the tools and materials to help build your score. You’ll be offered two funnels (with guarantees approval) to send out:
- WarriorPlus offer for $0, with OTO’s at $1 each.
- WarriorPlus offer for $1, with OTO’s at $1 each.
As you can see, these are extremely easy to sell, so they make it easy for you.
You’ll also be shown how to apply for product approval, and shown some traffic strategies to get you started.
Video 4 – You’ll be given bonus bundles, bonus access, review pages, and review videos to use to build your funnel for your offer.
This way you’re pretty much guaranteed sales, thus building up your affiliate score because everything goes through as WarriorPlus transactions.
You’ll also be building your email list with each sale you receive.
Module 2
This module is about email marketing, chatbots, and Google Ads. Because your list has been “warmed up” with satisfied customers, you’ll now want to send out more offers.
There are 10 videos to watch as well as access to a text document.
Video 1:1 – He talks about “live” launches that you can now send out to capitalize on the momentum you’ve created.
Video 1:2 – This video talks about chatbots and how they can help your promotional funnels.
Video 2 – Discussions on the most effective way to get approved for an offer, and how to get your review access.
Video 3 – This talks about your “dead list”. This case study shows that there are always some subscribers that don’t open your emails, so he shows you how to hold them separately. He then shows you how to revive that list to improve your open rate.
Video 4 – An update on the “dead list” study so you can see his results.
Video 5 – This case study shows you how he tests his “bot list” by sending more traffic to his “dead list”.
Video 6 – This update reviews how the first case study is doing.
Video 7 – A quick look at more results since video 6.
Video 8 – This video talks about how smaller affiliates can compete with the big boys using Google Ads.
Video 9 – He walks you through how to set up a Google Ad to run your Commission Gorilla pages. This is a paid online tool that builds your bonus pages.
Video 10 – Here, he shows you how to modify the Commission Gorilla pages.
Module 3
This module is all about becoming a vendor and selling your own products. This is how you can quickly build your buyers list as well.
There are 5 videos to watch as well as another text document.
Video 1 – He shows you his WarriorPlus account for inspiration. You’ll be able to see his progress over the 3 years he’s been an affiliate marketer.
Video 2 – You’ll be provided with your own product to sell, with an editable sales page and OTOs (upsells).
This is the longest video because he walks you through the process of setting up your product on WarriorPlus.
He runs into an issue with his approval of the product, because he’s operating like a “newbie”. This is actually good to see what can happen to you in the beginning…
Video 3 – This video shows you everything he went through to try to figure out what went wrong with the approval process.
Video 4 – Yay! Here, he discovers what he did wrong and finally gets his approval.
These videos are great for “newbies” because it covers all possible scenarios for you.
Upsells
- According to Trevor, there are limited amounts of upsells available, so you need to grab them if they’re still available.
#1: Headway DFY Solution
This upsell gives you additional DFY products to sell while you’re learning the process of affiliate marketing.
#2: Headway Advanced
This training is more advanced, or “ninja” training as Trevor says.
#3: Headway Endless Traffic
This upsell is to provide you with the ability to put your offers in front of thousands of buyers for one year only.
#4: Headway License Rights
These license rights give you the ability to sell this product as your own where you keep 100% of the profits.
Expected Costs
In order to promote these offers, you need to have a website. For this, you need a hosting platform. My recommendation would be:
- Bluehost – this company is reputable and reliable.
- HostGator – is another popular site
- NameCheap – offers great deals for the first year
Some of these platforms might offer you a free domain name for the first year.
You will also need an autoresponder for capturing your email subscribers. For affiliate marketing, I highly recommend the following two services, because they allow affiliate offers to be promoted.
Most of the other services out there don’t allow this, and your account could be closed down with a loss of your list.
- Aweber – this is what I use… they’re awesome!
- GetResponse – another reliable service …copy paste list to my notes…
Because people love bonuses, they will recommend you build a bonus page to add to your sales funnel. They are recommending:
- Commission Gorilla – a bonus page creator software
My Concerns?
I don’t have any concerns with the product itself. Trevor is offering you excellent training, with all the tools and products to make starting out easy for you.
The one thing he doesn’t provide unless you buy one of the upsells is traffic. You can have all the funnels in the world that would convert well, but if you don’t have anyone to send there, you won’t get any sales.
So unless you’ve already built an email list, you would have to pay for traffic to start out. And this can be expensive.
There are other ways you can try, like using social media. But again, if you have a small following, you might have to spend on advertising…
I would like to say that this is only one form of affiliate marketing. This may be the truest form of it, but it also takes a lot of work to make your money.
But once you know what you’re doing, and have made money with it, you can collaborate with other marketers, or outsource the work to others to ease up your time.
Personally, I prefer to build up my own business online, brand it, and help people by providing solutions to their problems.
This can involve products and courses, of course, and my email list is people who have opted on because they want to continue to hear from me.
My affiliate sales come from readers who come back for additional help because they trust what I recommend.
This style of affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to earn an income for newbies. You’re getting free traffic through the content you add to your website.
It may take more time to build an income, but it’s much more sustainable in the long run.
Demo Video
Pros
- 30-day money-back guarantee
- Quality training videos
- 2 editable products provided
- Additional DFY products (with upsell)
Cons
- Not much training about traffic methods
- 3rd party services needed at a cost
- Only trains for WarriorPlus
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
I think that if you’re interested in this type of affiliate marketing, this product could get you well on your way. The training is great and well done with exceptional videos.
With the offered products, which are basically free, your chance of creating a high affiliate score with WarriorPlus is great.
The only concern I have is the lack of proper traffic training. You get a little, and if you’re a complete newbie, this really isn’t enough to fully understand what you need.
But overall, the basic product is great, and the upsells aren’t too expensive. There are downsells for each, so if you want them, click through to the downsells.
Is Headway a scam? No
Would I recommend it? Yes
As I said, this product could help you get a great start to this form of affiliate marketing.
But remember that there are other ways to create an online income.
If you have the desire to blog or create a business in a specific niche, then you can do what I do!
I have learned, over the years, how to build up my own business, and attract my reader in many ways. My own affiliate marketing is done through many strategies and techniques.
I know this sounds daunting to someone new, but don’t worry. It’s easier than you think!
Can I make you my honest recommendation?
I would love for you to come and check out where I learned all about affiliate marketing. This platform has everything you need under one roof without the need for 3rd party services.
They offer excellent training, domain names, website hosting and most importantly, support and very active community built right into the platform.
And the best part? You can start for free! No credit card needed.
If you click on the button below, you can read all about it. And when you join, I’ll greet you on the inside. I’ll be your coach for as long as you need me, OK?

Hi there, Suzanne,
Thanks for the very informative Headway Review.
It sounds like a legitimate way to make money through a very specific method of affiliate marketing.
This is only one way to make money online, and it is very interesting to learn about it.
I am glad to hear that you don’t think it is a scam, but it is only a good buy for certain people.
Thanks again, Jessica
Hi Jessica,
Yes, you’re right! I think it will work for those who want to start that type of affiliate marketing. They will have a slower start if they don’t have access to a large email list, but there are ways around that if you don’t mind spending advertising money.
Purchasing upsell #3 might be a cheaper alternative for traffic.
This could also be used as a side business added to a current online business, to promote your own products or services.
Thanks for commenting,
Suzanne
Hi there,
I enjoyed your post on Headway. It’s nice to have someone out there telling the public how these products work!
I’ve been looking for some affiliate training programs and I’m having a hard time deciding which one to go for. I’m just looking for some opinions before I make my decision.
I love the content you’ve been posting, by the way.
Keep up the great work!
Stormy
Hi Stormy, and thanks for commenting.
I’m happy you enjoyed my post. Headway is a great product is you’d like to promote products from affiliate networks.
To be more effective, though, you need to start your own website to start adding content and building an email list. Making money online needs traffic, and your content and email list are great ways to promote your products.
Personally, I highly recommend Wealthy Affiliate. You get excellent training and support, and no one else comes close to the membership price for everything you get there.
You also have the choice to remain a free member, but if you want to grow as a business, you’ll want to eventually join, lol.
Let me know if you need any more help.
