Hi M5 (Margo24 below),
Actually, I wasn't addressing you at all else I would have used your name as per my usual method, no?
Perhaps a good wooden spoon session will ensure that'll you'll never forget it! 
I was referring to Margo's fronts though perhaps it's my fault that I didn't clarify it.
Margo24,
Is it really a rip-off? Here's the litmus test: Apply your theory to other topics. If you knew little to nothing about a certain topic and found a guide like that, would it still be a rip-off?
Try thinking of...chess, marathon running, repairing a motorcycle engine, etc...
I'm sure that all of that can be found for free on the net as well. It's good to get it from one source and to be able to trust the truth and accuracy of it all.
As far as the price goes, it's market basics - the law of demand and competitive pricing aka the going rate. It's common to charge $47 for a decent online marketing system.
The success of each campaign is dependent upon your own abilities. The information is there. You just have to be good at it to make it work.
After you imbibe most of the basics, it's a good idea to spend money on three or so well-chosen premium systems. That way you know you've gained exposure to enough stuff to have the best chance of success.
Good luck,
~Newbie Shield~

hehe - you are funny - I did deserve it though... as I was in a bit of a defensive mood there.
Dgitalnomad: The value of OWM is the daily and weekly tasks. I am not a big fan of Squidoo to make money. Use this plan to create websites or blogs that you own.
Great point, in fact, that is what I do with it a lot...and I am sure you can do the same with WA, PL, MOIS, and all the other great programs out there.

I think OWM offers some value for those new to IM, I just am not a huge fan of Squidoo, except for creating backlinks.
You do not own the sites you build there. So why not spend your time and energy building site you control.
The power od OWM is having a daily and weekly plan.

While Squidoo used to be pretty good, they've cracked down a lot on what you can and cannot do. That and you are limited to the design you can put on there.
Blogger is much easier to control not only the look of the page itself, but just how promotional you can be. The problem with using squidoo or blogger is that you don't own either one. If your going to get serious, at somepoint in time your going to have to buy your own domain and hosting. For people starting out there is nothing wrong with using free sites, but at some point your going to need to pony up the money for your own.
Between Squidoo and Blogger though for a platform, I'd take blogger any day of the week.

I agree with you on the blogger thing as far as a website, but for some reason I can get way more generic traffic to my Squidoo sites than to blogger.
Like tons more.
And I absolutely agree about having your own website. Squidoo drives a lot of traffic to my websites, which is why I like to use it.

Ok, reading some post for me, so here is what i think again:
So you will be happy to pay for somebody to create you a daily plan? I mean if you cant set up your own plan what to follow. You are not going to follow other persons plans. This is a fact. You set up perfect plan for yourself...somebody else dont know you so good.
Im pretty sure that 90% of who replied here are from Wealthy Affiliate. I might be wrong, but just the way i get replies...it looks like people from Wealthy affiliate. Because owner of OWM is from there.
There is a smart guy...who runs a Traffic Dynasty with his best friend Chris. And he recently made another video for members (oh...Kyle and Carson are too lazy to create videos). And he said "you can read how many guides you want, have many plans you want. But if you dont know what to do...or running around circles. You will fail."
So i will stay on my point of view: i will do lots of research and then i create a campaign. Not wasting my time creating 1 after another and then waiting. Its a waste of time...and time means money.
Good luck for who ever goes as OWM says (every week new campaign). Even market research can take more.
If you do things wrong from start as a newbie...you will never learn how to do things right. You end up buying guide after guide. You will fail after fail. Some learn..some dont.

@margo24
My experience is that is that for niche sites it is best to create and work on several sites at once for several reasons.
First, the 80-20 rule applies to websites just like everything else. 20% of your sites will be successful and 80% won't. You will not know which ones until you let them age for a few weeks or even months.
Secondly, you will not get bored launching and working on several websites in groups. It is more productive and also more interesting.
Thirdly, if you plan ahead and have multiple website that produce income, you will not risk having all your income disappear if a site gets de-indexed by Google. Trust me, this will happen. It does not matter what your method of monetizing happens to be.
Who wants to spend all their time on one website, and then find out it is a flop? Just another reason why people get disenchanted.
Why put all your eggs in one basket? You need to think about all of this if you are serious about staying the course in IM.
Always model success. If someone has a plan that works...I am always interested in trying it, or changing it to work for me.

hello all 
wow.. i can see a lot of people love OWM but not margo24. I read about one week marketing somewhere and decide to give it a try since i never play with squidoo before. And all i can say, $47 for all the information is really worth.
What i love about OWM is, the idea of "blasting" , i mean we test a niche and see if we can make money or not. If yes, we expand it..if fail.. lets move to another niche. Even potpie give me a 7 day action plan, but i think i can do it in one day. I make about 4 5 lens everyday and continue to create backlink.
Someone have mention about keyword research, i agree about it. If you think OWM is not really good in keyword research, why not tweak it for your own good as for me, i add more backlink by using a few of software.
As for winner campaign, i expand it with my own minisite. Expand it with ppc (even travis sago from WA play ppc right) and try to conquer the market. Oh.. i also point all the squidoo lens to my minisite..so i can get free traffic. For some niche that perform very well.. i will start collect a list, build relation with them and create my own product. I'll make sure my product is better thn what i'm promoting so that i can get a better position. Why should i promote other product while i've my own right
Overall.. i think OWM is good to start. Good for people who want to make money during their spare time. For serious person like margo24, for sure he will found OWM is not for him. Maybe you can try (if you're not) commission blueprint 2.0 , and mass control 2.0 (have to buy 2nd hand since i think its not available anymore) .
*you can get for free if google them , i sometime buying something just for building a relation with the owner. So that i can do some cross promotion , expand my list and so on.
those who love OWM, i suggest you to try google sniper. I like it too..

I know that this is a very old post but would like to mention that this really is a great guide for wishing to learn more on affiliate marketing.
This was the second course that I had purchased when first started out with the first course teaching my how to build the foundation of an online business. What it did not provide was a more detailed instruction on building Squidoo Lenses.
Have gone through the 7 day course I was able to pick up on quite a few extra tidbits to add to my ever increasing knowledge base.
Affiliate marketing is an ever increasing field to continue gaining and learning new experiences. As another member mentioned, it may or may not be the right choice for you, but only you can decide what you need to aid in building your online business
