Simple way to list your new product in an instant commission affiliate network

June 15th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

The RAP Bank affiliate network previously required you to purchase a RAP script for getting your product listed in the network.

This requirement changed today when RAP Bank revealed RAP Bank List ‘n’ Earn.

Using RAP Bank List ‘n’ Earn is simply a matter of uploading a small script to your website and adapting your sales page and your download page.  Another option is using a WP plugin provided by RAP Bank to handle both the sales and download page.

The cost of using List ‘n’ Earn is a $20 listing fee plus a small percentage of your sales, so it’s a very low cost way of getting your products listed in an affiliate network.

New affiliate marketplace launched from Gary McCaffrey

April 22nd, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

I just signed up for a free account at Gary McCaffrey’s new online marketplace – and then traded it up to a Premium account just for posting a comment on his blog.

It’s a site where you can list your own products for sale or you can sell other people’s products.

So in a sense it’s just like ClickBank, but Gary didn’t just want to make a new ClickBank.

He added something in that ClickBank really is missing – instant payment.

Yep, make a sale and get paid instantly in your PayPal account.

No more waiting for ClickBank to tally up your earnings before you get paid.

And no more waiting for the checks to arrive if you live in a country like me where Direct Deposit isn’t an option yet.

So far there’s only 37 products listed for sale, but that’s ok given the site has only been operational for 2 weeks, and that Gary didn’t promote it via a traditional “Big Launch” launch.

With a Free account you can only list one of your own products, but with a Premium account you don’t have that limitation.

Maybe it’s time to dust off some of those master resell rights products we all have scattered across our harddrives and figure out if it’s possible to list them on Gary’s new site.

You automatically become an affiliate when you sign up for an account, so obviously I’m an affiliate – and this is an affiliate link

Is your merchant account in danger?

Came across this blog post by Mike Young today: Don’t Lose Your Merchant Account: 7 Free Resources for Helping Internet Marketers Stay Out of Trouble

By now every internet marketer should know about the FTC rules that recently became active that require us all to be upfront about our relationships with people we’re linking to.

Was I paid to write this review?

Do I get a commission if you purchase through my links?

Did I buy the product I just reviewed or was it a review copy given to me?

Add to that the bits about “typical results” and you might think that you’re home free.

But, apparently not – you can have all these new FTC rules covered and still mess up so bad that you could lose your merchant account.

Ouch.

Turns out that pre-checked checkboxes could get you in trouble when it comes to up-sells, cross-sells and a lot of other billing practices.

I’m not an expert on FTC regulations, so I suggest you head over to Mike’s site to read the full article. There’s also a list of additional resources that you might want to take a look at.

Mad Scrilla Icons

December 7th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

Don’t know what to write on your site to comply with the new FTC rules?

Well, Louis Gray has created a batch of cool humorous FTC Disclosure icons that will NOT leave your visitors in doubt about your affiliation with products you write about.

The one most likely to be used is probably “Writer received mad scrilla

What’s your favorite?

P.S. You’ll find a few unusual FTC Disclosure statements over at Dan Reinholds WAHumor! site

Is PCP good for you?

Andrew X and Dylan Loh just launched a very interestingly looking product called Project Covert Persuasion.

It’s actually two products in one – one persuasion system geared towards online businesses and one – the “bonus” – geared towards personal persuasion.

With my NLP background (Practitioner and Business Master Practitioner certification from INLPTA) I’m really looking forward to digging through that system so I can provide you with a real review of the pros and cons.

As with any launch of a new IM product there will be plenty of internet marketers promoting Project Covert Persuasion, but I suspect that very few of them will actually have read the system before promoting it.

I’ve always been a firm believer in testing something before recommending it, and the few times I’ve jumped on a launch wave I’ve felt really detached from both the product and the process.

So, I’m hoping that I can have review ready for you in a few days so you can make a decision to buy it based on my Project Covert Persuasion evaluation.
