Last Chance For Best Resale Rights Package of 2010

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Filsaime Resale Rights Going Away (don't pass this up!)

I just got word from Mike Filsaime that he will be pulling his "first time ever" Resale Rights offer down within the next couple of days. If you want to get resale rights to 3 of his best selling products, and get the products for yourself … then make sure you hurry over there now!

This isn't your typical resale rights offer

These are PROVEN products that were created by Mike Filsaime that sell every day. In fact, 2 of the 3 salesletters were written by Mike HIMSELF and the other one was done by a high priced copywriter. So you can be assured that you are getting the rights to sell top quality products, one of which broke records in the Clickbank marketplace when it was first released.

Instant FREE access

When you get to mikefilsaimeresalerights.com, you'll be getting instant free access to the products so you can see just how powerful and relevant they are in the market.

And of course, you get to use them yourself in your businessl.

Hurry now before it's too late!

Once he pulls this offer down, free access to these products goes away too. Then you will have to pay for them to use their power in your business.

Instant Download instructions can be found at: mikefilsaimeresalerights.com.

- and had to sell his Wife's "Pride Possession" to survive —– and‚ how it broke her heart.

That was the day his EGO DIED and…

He explains why he is sharing this with you here in the TRUE VIDEO (a must see).

Income Kick Start System – 3 Hour Start NOT

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Income Kick Start starts at $497 – You have 10 days to request a refund if you are not happy with it, But …

Give it a try if you have the funds and 9 days to experiment. Anik Singal in the marketing pitch for this program suggest that you can get started in 3 hours. OK we all know marketing hype by now. Just don't expect to start in 3 hours if you are a newbie because …

You can't "Start within 3 Hours"

Unless you already know what you are doing, are an experienced affiliate marketer, and just need access to the niches that Income Kick Start provides for $497, you won't be up and running in 3 hours. But that's not the only thing that bugged me.

Internet Marketers think they are teachers

I know we like to say that those who can't do it, teach it. But in reality teaching is a profession and it really doesn't matter whether a great teacher can do what they teach. The only thing that matters is that the teacher teaches YOU how to do it.

Anik is not a great teacher as you will see in the videos. On the other hand, he has a tremendous amount of company from other internet marketers who think they can teach because they have made a lot of money. Sorry about that – it ain't true. Your egos are getting in the way again. So you will have to rely on getting great support to answer all the questions you will have after absorbing the material Anik presents. Now comes another problem.

Support is not as bad as Copy Paste Systems but it isn't that great either

First you have to know that in one of his videos about using Scriptlance, Anik says he won't work with a freelancer who doesn't respond to him within 24 hours. While I was trying out the first 2 weeks of the Income Kick Start system, I submitted several support tickets on February 4. Guess when I got the first response – February 9, which is 5 times longer than Anik would have waited.
But it got worse.

Does the support team understand English?

I think there is a difference between being able to read English and understanding it. Most of the responses I received were about 1 sentence long no matter what questions I had. Often they don't read the entire message that may have more than 1 question so you have to keep the ticket open and send another reply. Of course it could also be that the support team doesn't completely understand the product they are supporting.

But what really irks me is they don't seem to understand English well enough to understand the intent of the questions and give answers that would be enlightening to newbies. Chances are you will have to rephrase and resubmit your question more than once to get a satisfactory explanation.

Do you call that "support"? Maybe it gets better after they are sure they have your money. I don't know – I didn't stick around for that part. After experimenting with Income Kick Start, I think I can use the $497 more effectively elsewhere.

Anik Singal is a nice person and Affiliate Classroom is a nice website

From all the second hand information I've gathered, Anik is a really nice person. All my information is second hand because Anik has effectively insulated himself from direct contact. But so have the majority of rich internet marketers. They just want your money, not to talk to you. I was disappointed that Income Kick Start support would not tell me how to contact Anik. He really needs help with his teaching skills.

Your own experiences and comments are always welcome.

Shipping is not FREE

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

 FREE Report, CD, DVD, yada, yada, yada

 

How many times have you seen this. It's FREE – you just pay the shipping cost. What is it about the word FREE that internet marketers don't understand?

How Stupid Are We?

My first point is this. How stupid do you have to be to know that if you pay for shipping – IT'S NOT FREE!

Here's the deal. When you pay shipping, that guarantees that the seller will make at least some small profit no matter what happens because they typically charge more for shipping than it actually costs.

But It Gets Worse … Did you really mean to sign up for a monthly subscription?

Very often in the fine print you didn't read because it was sort of a faded gray 6 point type way at the bottom it says that you agree to sign up for a $47, $67, or even $97 a month subscription to some sort of newsletter, and you will continue to be billed every month until you cancel except that they keep any money charged to your credit card before you cancel. So you end up paying that first month's bill even if you cancel immediately after you realize what has happened. So for that FREE CD the marketer makes money on the shipping and again on the first month's subscription. How's that for slick?

Is your time worthless?

Here's my second point. That FREE offer that you only have to pay shipping to get presumes that the time you spend actually listening, viewing, memorizing, note-taking, and otherwise marking your time doesn't cost anything. In other words, your time is worthless.

Alternatively, let's call your time a "sweat equity" investment because you are certainly going to use this information to make $xx thousands of dollars more in your business than you would have without this information.

Bottom Line

No way is it FREE! So before you click that BUY NOW button for that FREE product, give some thought to how much it is really going to cost you. Then you can make a thoughtful and perhaps even wise decision.

Internet Profits in Your PJs? – Review: Don’t waste your time

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

The Holly Cotter Story

Holly Cotter’s rags to riches story is inspirational. There’s no doubt about that. But I’m sorry about this …

"Internet Profits in Your PJs – 36 Secrets to Creating Multiple Income Streams … on Autopilot"

Out of respect for Holly, I would like to put this politely, "This book is drivel."

A total waste of your time. Let’s say you value your time at minimum wage (I hope your time is worth more than that, at least to you, but let’s just say.). The 2-4 hours you might spend reading every word of this book costs you between $16 and $32 roughly speaking. That means the book is not FREE.

Out of Date and Out of Link

The book is copyright 2006. I found that most of the links don’t work and those that do are obvious shills for stuff that Holly sold off.

36 Secrets – Are You Kidding Me?

Here are some stunning samples of these amazing "Closely-Guarded Multiple Income Stream Secrets".

Secret #1 – There is a HUGE difference between “owning a business” and “being self-employed.” — Bet you didn’t know that.

Secret #5 – You must generate steady profits with one income stream before adding another income stream. — Geez, why didn’t I think of that.

SECRET #16 – It’s easier to make ONE sale than it is to make two sales. — Wow, this is almost mystical.

Secret #34 – To successfully build multiple passive streams of income, you must focus on building only one income stream at a time. — Oh wait a minute, wasn’t that Secret #5?

SECRET #35 – Patience is the key to your success. — Now that is REALLY a helpful secret – please don’t spread this around or everybody will know and we’ll lose our competitive advantage.

Sorry for the sarcastic comments, I couldn’t help it.

There’s No Substance

After you have read and absorbed every word of this book, you will know how to do … nothing! The book tells you what worked for Holly in a general sort of way, but not how any of it was actually done. There’s no step-by-step to duplicate.

Aha! That’s why all those almost functional links at the end of the book – you have to buy more stuff to make Internet Profits in Your PJs. And that’s the real point of this book. Holly sold a lot of her websites and changed her business model which you can see here.

An Impressive List of Testimonials – Huh?

When I reviewed the names of the "experts" whose testimonials appear at the front of this book, I actually learned something about internet marketers. A lot of well-known names are there, and I am having a hard time with that. Maybe they didn’t actually read the book. The alternatives are 1. they produce the same kind of internet marketing vaporware and so think this book is marvelous, or 2. they don’t actually know anything and have testified to their ignorance by giving these testimonials.

The Bottom Line

You won’t learn anything useful from this book. Let the buyer beware .

The Law of Distraction

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

The Law of Attraction

You’ve probably heard of the Law of Attraction. This is the idea that you attract what you think about. If you really want something and truly believe it’s possible, you’ll get what you want – or the idea that your thoughts determine (not influence, but determine) how your life goes. Think positive and positive things happen to you. Think negative and … OK so much for the BS.

The Law of Distraction

This law really works. If you think you are going to make big bucks in internet marketing or your home business by trying everything that comes along, you won’t. Simple, the Law of Distraction dictates that the more things you are trying to do, the more distracted you become and the less productive. You end up accomplishing nothing. Well, something – you kept yourself busy being distracted. And you aren’t going to make any money!

The Lesson

If you are constantly buying or trying the latest product launch, internet marketing ebook, home-based business opportunity, webinar, marketing course, coaching program, internet marketing scam, etc., and you have them stacked up like cord wood on your bookshelf and your computer is so full that it is about to throw up on your keyboard, you have become a victim of the Law of Distraction.

You’ll have a lot business ‘expenses’ and no business ‘income’.

I could not emphasize this too strongly because I know from experience. Try one thing, one program, one coach, and stick with that one thing until it works at least a little, or until you thoroughly understand why it doesn’t work for you.

In the process, you may find the kind of internet business that really fits you instead of squeezing yourself into a mold that doesn’t.

FTC to Internet Marketing Bloggers – Are you paid for your endorsements? — ‘Fess up

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Important news for internet marketers – Honest disclosure matters

How many times have you read a review and didn’t know the person who wrote it was paid for it? Would that affect your opinion of the product? How about all those internet marketers who trade mailing lists and get paid if you buy from their link? Are they telling you they are getting paid? Maybe you would want to know that. Probably wouldn’t make a difference to your buying decision – if everybody was providing us with full disclosure and leveling the playing field.

FTC Sets Endorsement Rules for Blogs

"Bloggers who offer endorsements must disclose any payments they have received from the subjects of their reviews or face penalties of up to $11,000 per violation, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday."

Affiliate Silver Bullet – Not Recommended

Sunday, July 19th, 2009


I know it’s been a long time since I mentioned Affiliate Silver Bullet – but I hope Better Late Than Never applies here.

     Here’s the previous Affiliate Silver Bullet article.

Whoever runs Affiliate Silver Bullet doesn’t seem to pay attention to the products they are selling and that is a good enough reason to avoid this program.

Reported Attack Site!

One of the products being sold as a silver bullet leads visitors to a website that Google thinks is an attack site. That by itself rules out Affiliate Silver Bullet as something you want to get involved with.

To check out the product, I followed the process to get the free email course. When the first email came, I clicked the link at the bottom of the email, something like this: Just visit adomainname.com. The web page opened in my browser and immediately changed to the Reported Attack Site! alert What’s up with that? Shoddy product management or worse.

Reported Attack Site Alert

Cry Baby?

I gave my first name and email address to one of the silver bullets to check out the customer experience. I followed the process to get the free email course. When the first email came, I clicked the link at the bottom of the email, something like this: Just visit adomainname.com. The web page opened in my browser and when it had finished loading, the sound of a baby crying played for a few seconds. What’s up with that? Shoddy product management.

It Gets Worse!

I went to the support site and made out a ticket to report the problem with the Reported Attack Site. ASB sent me an auto-response email advising me to check the faq.

"Hello Edward Rykiel,

Thank you very much for your interest in the Affiliate Silver Bullet System!

Please take a quick look at these frequently asked questions, as they will most likely cover your inquiry. If your question is not covered below, you will receive a personal response within 24 – 48 hours (usually sooner)."

No response sooner, and none within 24 hours. You would think they would want to take care of a problem like that sooner rather than later. I also reported the baby crying thing, and got the same non response.

Don’t Ruin Your Online Reputation

Especially as a newbie, you don’t want to start off by ruining your reputation by promoting not just shoddy products but actual harmful products. There are too many hidden tricks and quality issues with Affiliate Silver Bullet. Your customers should NEVER get a ‘Reported Attack Site!’ web page with a product you are marketing. END OF STORY!

Dominating CB 2 Launches Thursday 18th September, NOON EST.

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Want to make a lot of money dominating ClickBank?

Yeah, me too. So I’m passing this gem on to you because I thought you might want to see it.

Who is Andrew Fox?

Maybe you never heard of him, but maybe you should check this out anyway. He never heard of me either. I seem to be on the email lists of every internet marketer on earth. How about you? So this guy (I am assuming it’s a guy.) Rob Benwell was the first to send me a link to Andrew Fox’s video. Don’t get too excited about that. It’s just a description how much money he has made and how he wants to share his secrets with you and me. Boy, I never heard that one before! Anyway, read on if you’re so inclined.

And this just in … Andrew Fox has been marketing online since 1999 and has sold millions of dollars of products.

How To Use Clickbank To Generate Monster Ongoing Profits

      – by Andrew Fox

   Dominating ClickBank 2
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

ClickBank is the Internet’s largest digital marketplace, where thousands of the web’s most popular products are sold every day.  

What what people don’t realize is how easy it is to get started with Clickbank and how you can start generating sales even if you have your own  product.

There are a few ways to do this.

1) Acquire Resale Rights to a product you don’t own, create an page for affiliates and supply them tools to promote and feed of their efforts.

2) Promote products as an affiliate using Pay per Click Search Engines

So which method is best?

I’ve successfully tried both methods, both with good results.

For the beginner I recommend promoting products as an affiliate to get used to how the system works and to help sharpen your pay per click search engine advertising skills.

Acquiring Resale Rights to a hot  selling product can be lucrative venture when set up correctly.

In fact I managed to generate over $25,764 in sales for a resale license I paid $197 for without spending a penny on advertising.

I was able to do this by leveraging Clickbank’s instant affiliate force which I teach in great depth in my new course Dominating CB.  

Once you have built a successful customer and lead list there are also several ways you can leverage this into even greater profits.

Clickbank is such an attractive proposition for affiliates to use. They know they are going to get paid twice per month and on  clockwork every time.  

Sometimes product owners complain that the fees are higher than the average merchant  account but the ability to leverage it’s massive network of affiliate can results in mega profits when done correctly.

Warm Regards,

Andrew Fox

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

OK, if you actually read this far, you observed (especially if you are an English major) that his grasp of the nuances of English is kind of shaky, but he copyrighted the thing so I couldn’t edit it for him. Nevertheless, he does send his Warm Regards.

Do this now!

Click here now and you too might become a money-making affiliate for Dominating ClickBank 2
