Who is John Crestani
John Crestani is an online marketer who shares his story of going from making $60K per year in his day job – to taking his marketing business, from $0 to over $442K per month, in less than 4 years time.
At of the time of his review, he claims to be making over $500K per month.
Originally, he was a freelance analyst from Los Angeles, CA. Now he lives on a horse ranch in Malibu, CA.
In his trainings, he preaches how any average person can build a business like he did that makes hundreds of dollars online per hour. Without products, an email list, or using any type of fancy technical software.
He resonates with the internet marketing crowd who want to learn how to make money from home using the internet. He’s the total poster boy for the internet lifestyle.
He says that his training is for:
- Employees working a 9-5.
- Homemakers who want to work from home.
- Retirees who need to make some extra money.
What Motivated Him
Like most people looking to create financial freedom online he was motivated by:
- Frustrations with the corporate grind.
- A desire to travel.
- Being tired of trading time for dollars
It was a chance meeting with his mentor, internet marketing legend Kelly Felix (aka the Rich Jerk) in Hollywood, CA, that turned everything around for him.
This is where he learned the power of the affiliate marketing business model.
His first year in business in 2013, he claims to have made close to $400K. And his business has continued to grow ever since.
John Crestani’s Course The Super Affiliate System
In his course the ‘Super Affiliate System‘ he shows how folks from his original program made money with the program. These are members who paid $x on ads and made $x+. And then scaled (spent more on ads for winning campaigns) their business.
His program teaches people how to make money with affiliate marketing. This is when you earn commissions promoting other people’s products.
Basically you generate a link from the vendor (product owner) and advertise that link in order to earn a commission when people buy the product through your link.
Crestani claims to make over $50k per day with this model. Here is a graph of his earnings from the last year.

How the System Works
In the system you reach people through Facebook Ads. Crestani teaches you how to get attention and get clicks on your ads.
These ads lead to presell pages, which agitate the problem and get them to advance to the next step, which is purchase a product.
In his system, when promoting affiliate offers he recommends:
- The use of video ads for getting attention.
- Using a proven message in your marketing.
- A rabid market with lots of buyers.
According to Crestani, the online marketing industry is the most unsaturated market out there. Ad networks can’t get enough people to advertise so they’re giving free credits away.
He says that most people have no idea how to market online which represents a huge opportunity for people to make money. He teaches people how in his course.

His course Super Affiliate System is a 6-week course that includes:
- 15 hours of video content looking over his shoulder
- Live Weekly workshops
- An online community (These days it’s not worth joining a program unless it has a community)
- A private Facebook Group
- Swipe Files of proven high engagement ads
- Ready to launch proven affiliate campaigns and profitable affiliate networks/programs
- Presell pages that have high click through rates and more.
How To Join Super Affiliate System
To join John Crestani’s Super Affiliate System, most marketers try Crestani’s free training first.
I am personally a member of his program and I think he offers solid training. Below I share some of the pros and cons based on some of the other internet marketing courses I’ve taken. And how his course stacks up.
Crestani’s free training webinar is a good resource for people who are on the fence as he shares a lot of really solid valuable content. He share a lot of actionable techniques which is rare and it’s free. Most free webinars don’t really teach you enough to be able to take what they share and apply it. He does.
In his webinar he talks about:
- How to get buyers data and how it gets you ultra-targeted buyers and why that’s important. Buyer data is King.
- The 3 conditions you must have in place to be successful with affiliate marketing and his system.
- His two core components: 1) his course. 2) how to use Facebook, Google and YouTube to make consistent income.
NOTE: Make sure you stay on until the end of the webinar if you are interested in the course and it sounds like a fit. He allows a select few number of people to join the course and he offers a deep discount.

Is John Crestani Legit or a Scam?
In my opinion he’s legit. My only issue is how some marketers can make it sound like it is so easy start earning the big bucks online. There is a steep learning curve and if it were easy, everybody would be earning millions online.
I’m an advanced marketer and I feel that if I were a newbie it might take some time to pick things up. The key is to take action and not get overwhelmed nor distracted by the next shiny thing.
This isn’t a ‘get rich easy’ scheme. It does take work.
