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

Yet another free viral Twitter tool

April 14th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

Confused about viral traffic tools?

Well, there really is no need to be confused because behind all the hype and technical jargon viral traffic tools are really simple.

You refer somebody who in turn refer other people who in turn refer other people – that’s all there really is to it.

Everybody of those people are referred to as your Downline.

And each time someone in your downline makes a certain action such as displaying a banner you earn “credits” which are then used to get your own banner shown.

The more people in your downline the more exposure you get.

But it doesn’t have to be a banner – in a tool I just learned about a few minutes ago your Tweets are shown on other people’s websites.

The free version is of course limited compared to the paid option, but if you’re just going to try out some viral traffic building then the free version is all you really need.

When you sign up you’ll be given the option to upgrade from free to paid version on the spot for $97 (this is a one time offer – the regular price is $197) – the biggest difference between the free and the paid version is that you can connect the paid account to 10 different Twitter accounts with the free version only allowing you one Twitter account.

If you just have one Twitter account then the free version is in my opinion all you need.

Once inside the system you enter your Twitter account details and then you’re almost ready to go.

From here on you have two different ways of making this work for you.

The first is by placing a piece of code on your site that will help you earn credits for getting your Tweets shown on other people’s websites and blogs.

This is by far the slowest way of getting your Tweets seen since it requires plenty of initial traffic on your website to produce any noticeable traffic increase to your Twitter page.

The second way is to start referring other people to this viral tool – because it’s the viral side of things that really has the potential to get your Tweets shown a lot.

Inside the system you’ll find the code to put on your pages – including to short videos on how to add the code to your Blogger or WordPress blog.

And you’ll also find the referral link which you’ll need to start referring people.

Ready to try this free viral Twitter tool? – sign up using my referral link and you’ll end up in my downline.

FTC disclaimer: There is of course also an affiliate program associated with this tool, which means that should you, despite my recommendations, decide to sign up for the paid version, then I’ll earn a bit of money.

New product from Wendy Wood – IM Cleanup

April 9th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

I just got an email from Wendy Wood about a new product she’s launching called IM Cleanup.

Most IM products these days are typically “secrets”, “loopholes” or “blueprints” and if that wasn’t enough to sell them, then they also “annihilate”, “explode” or “dominate” something or somebody – the secrets are usually “discovered” by truckdrivers, gardeners or sales clerks who all come from bankrupcy or homelessness – and it’s getting a bit tiresome imo.

So it was refreshing to read through the salescopy for Wendy’s product.

You see, Wendy’s product which is a 6 week course is not about secrets or loopholes, it’s not aiming at annihilating anything and you don’t have to have been homeless to use it.

If you’re anything like me then you have a harddrive filled with IM information products, you have your fair share of marketing and/or self-help books and a few cd or dvd courses on your shelfs.

And you have started multiple projects over the years, abandoned most of them, half-heartedly maintained some of them and only been consistent or successful with a few of these projects – at the most.

You’ve let the latest fads push your busines in one direction so many times that it’s unclear to you which way you’re heading at the moment.

If this sounds familiar, then you might want to take a look at what Wendy has to offer.

IM Cleanup is all about taking inventory of all the things you have going on with your online businesses, sorting them out, optimizing how you do things and then – once you’re back on track – creating the long term plans for your business.

I’m an affiliate of Wendy’s products, so I’ll earn a commission should you decide to buy IM Cleanup because you think it will be useful to you.

A new free article linkbuilding system

February 22nd, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

I’ve always loved systems; not the guru-type systems where all they do is rehash a technique that’s been working for years and launch it under a fancy name, but systems that somehow automate a normally manual process.

Another thing I like my systems to have is transparency; I like to know upfront what I’m getting into so I can evaluate the potential of the system before handing over my money.

Today I got an email about an article link building system that just immediately clicked with me.

I could see what it did, and the priciples of how my articles and links would be distributed within this article directory network made sense to me.

I’ve yet to put it to the test because I wanted to let you know about it as fast as I could since there’s a chance of getting some nice launch discounts.

Personally I’ve gone for the free version, but they also have a paid version that have some nice features compared to the free version.

I know that I’m not likely to take full advantage of the paid version, but if you’re currently doing a lot of article marketing either through your own writing or through rewritten PLR content, then the paid version might be suitable for you.

I’m currently launching a new niche site, so what better way to test the potential of this linkbuilding / article marketing system.

The only backlinks I have at the moment are from a dozen domain stats pages, and none of them are indexed by Google yet, and only one link is indexed by Yahoo.

So I’m really starting from scratch with my linkbuilding.

The success of an article linkbuilding network lies in its ability to distribute the articles to a wide variety of IP addresses, and doing it gradually so the linkbuilding appears to be normal.

This is especially important for a fresh domain where hundred or thousands of inbound links in a very short time is almost certain to get your site sandboxed.

It’s the perfect scenario to set up a controlled test, so remember to check back later for progress reports.

The link I provided is an affiliate link, but it’s not just like any other affiliate program.

Normally you’ll only benefit if people you refer go for the paid version, but here you also earn link credits from people you refer and people they in turn refer when they post an article.

This is a brilliant twist from a system point of view since this encourages people to spread the word and this in turn helps create the much needed IP diversity.
