EVE Billionaire is a site that sells e-books on how to maximize your earnings in EVE Online, a space-based science-fiction massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
What Is EVE Billionaire?
There’s nothing indicating who is behind EVE Billionaire on the website itself. However, checking the site’s registration reveals the owner to be Jay Swales, from the UK.
Research into Swales reveals that he is the listed registrant on many other websites besides just EVE Billionaire. Only one site identifies him as the owner, the rest are listed as being run by a “John Morrow,” which may be a pseudonym.
Most of these other sites, which range in topic from doomsday preparation, reconditioning old batteries, and even love and relationship advice, feature affiliate links as a way to create income. All sites were created between 2009 and 2016.
EVE Billionaire Product
EVE Billionaire is a digital product that provides information on how to more efficiently earn InterStellar Kredits (ISK), the in-game currency for EVE Online, in order to progress further through the game.
The game itself can require vast amounts of this in-game currency, and an unregulated “black market” for buying ISK with real-world currency has emerged as a result.
Part of EVE Billionaire’s goal is to reduce or eliminate the need to purchase ISK on these black market exchanges, though there is an unspoken goal to provide ISK to these exchanges to earn real money in the process.
There are several different strategies and tactics presented by the author towards these goals.
Additionally, the core EVE Billionaire book comes bundled with four additional game guides: a Niche Markets Guide, a Trade Skills Guide, legal and exploitable ISK Scams, and EVE PVP Elite, which is a guide for competing in player-versus-player (PVP) content in-game.
The core guide and the four additional guides are available for $37 through ClickBank. This provides customers with a 60-day money back guarantee.
EVE Billionaire Opportunity
EVE Billionaire also offers an affiliate opportunity, made possible through ClickBank, for individuals interested in marketing the product and earning a commission based on any sales made.
However, there’s no information on what commission rate EVE Billionaire provides. In fact there’s little to no support provided for anyone willing to become an EVE Billionaire affiliate.
EVE Billionaire Verdict
This is an excellent example of a niche product, appealing to a very small subset of individuals – people who play EVE Online seriously enough to require massive amounts of in-game currency, either to resell for real money or to progress through the game.
These individuals tend to have lots of disposable income, so becoming an affiliate could represent a moderate source of revenue. However, without knowing exactly how much you’ll be making as an affiliate, there’s no real way of determining that for certain.
From a consumer perspective, if you’re heavily into EVE Online and you need more ISK, it might be more cost-effective to purchase this guide and learn how to make ISK more efficiently in-game than it is to keep purchasing ISK with real money on online exchanges.
Of course there’s no knowing if this information is truly effective, or even if it’s still up-to-date.
The site was registered in 2009 after all, and it’s been nearly a decade since then – EVE Online has evolved and changed in the interim, and strategies developed during the game’s early days may no longer work as well today or in the future as the gameplay continues to evolve.
There’s nothing indicating how up-to-date the information presented by EVE Billionaire is.
Additionally, the fact that the author can’t be bothered to provide enough information about the affiliate opportunity makes us think that there isn’t much thought put into this product in the first place, which leads us to doubt its value.
In the end, EVE Billionaire is likely to be a poor choice for anyone looking for affiliate income. Additionally, the product itself probably isn’t going to be much of an advantage for an EVE player, either.
