Is Your Affiliate Software Killing Your Joint Venture Relationships?
June 24, 2009 10:30 AM by Marc Goldman

One of the questions I get asked all the time from potential Joint Venture partners and affiliates is how do I know I will be rewarded if the people I send to you now buy from you later on?

I thought I would share this tidbit that will help you understand this a little better. Understanding this can help you whether you use this for Joint Ventures or simply to attract new affiliates.

Many of your prospective partners will want to know if he/she will be compensated when and if the prospects they send your way purchase from you after receiving your follow-up messages.

In the offline world a JV partner maintains control of this by handling the mailing themselves. There is little risk involved because if the prospects don’t buy the first time they are contacted the JV Partner controls the subsequent mailings.

But online, their fate and potential split is in your hands. They are sending people to your site knowing that some JV Partners are not always 100% honest and may not share the follow up sales with them.

But you should!

Therefore, assuring them that you will is another surefire way to increase the response you get from them.

So to assure them that they will get paid when sales are made from follow up messages sent to prospects you must do one of the following (and tell them in your proposal that you are doing so).

 Use affiliate tracking software that offers bulletproof tracking mechanisms. Most affiliate software will only assign a cookie to the prospects machine. This presents a potential problem since some prospective customers might have cookie blocking software or might clear their cookies regularly. 

The best affiliate software (e.g. the affiliate software in GoldbarOne ) will store a record for each affiliate in the database insuring that the referring partner is properly credited with the referral as well as the sale.

Using this kind of software will also insure that after the initial endorsement is made, if a prospect does not purchase immediately but returns to buy in the future, your JV Partner is awarded the sale.
 
If you are trying to encourage people to sign on as a JV partner you could say something like this in your Joint Venture proposal:

 

"To insure that all of your sales are recorded and tracked properly we will provide you with your own unique affiliate URL using our custom affiliate software.

Our software will record you as the referral source for each customer insuring that you get paid for each person you send to us even if they do not buy right away."

Now, while some partners may be VERY online marketing savvy and very tech savvy they may not understand that there is affiliate software that not only tracks by cookies but also tracks by database entries. This is a foolproof method for recording commissions.

Cookies are a thing of the past and they can be blocked by antivirus software and firewalls. Using affiliate software that insures your partners get credited for their referrals is a sure way to impress and win over potential JV partners by showing that you care for them and are looking out for their best interests!

$3 - Seven Hundred Times a Day
February 25, 2009 03:47 AM by Marc Goldman

Did you ever go to a football game or large sporting event and wish that everyone around you would give you a dollar?


I know that's kind of a silly thing to think about, but admit it...I'm sure at some point in your life you have dreamed the same thing!

Here is a guy who took that concept and actually made it happen:


This guy has flown under the radar for the last 5 years. You have probably never heard of him before. If you have browsed the web in the last few years, you have most likely visited one of his sites... and you may have given him a dollar and not even known about it!

Take a look at his 4 minute video. I think you will be amazed at how he did it... I know I was.


Take care,

Marc Goldman

Affiliate PPC Arbitrage
November 17, 2008 02:48 AM by Marc Goldman

 This past weekend saw me doing something my wife and business partner Terry and I haven't done in about 4 years - attend an Internet Marketing Seminar.

Anyone who remembers far enough back to the good old days of 2003 and beyond knows that we used to be deeply embedded in this scene - even going so far as to put on two seminars of our own called the JV Summit of the Century (
digitized videos available free here)

So what stopped us from going to seminars? A combination of things: travel was exhausting, business was booming and we already did a lot of business without leaving our homes so we figured - why continue doing something that had lost it's lustre?

So what dragged us back in (as my boy Michael Corleone would say)?

Well, about 3 weeks ago, we got an email from Brad Fallon (of Stompernet fame). Brad invited us and his other internet marketing allies to a private event in Las Vegas called the Inner Mastermind where we would learn from a team of young geniuses making upwards (and over) $100,000 PER DAY!!!

That's right I said per day. And, it was promised that ALL would be revealed and that the best and the brightest would be at this event learning how they were doing it.

Now, while I am not yet at liberty to discuss everything we learned this past weekend I can tell you I was so blown away, our entire marketing paradigm has shifted.

We see things we didn't see before, we see opportunities in everything and I tell you folks these guys are pulling down these kinds of numbers in October - the bloodiest month in a long time for businesses everywhere.

There is more than ample opportunities for all of us to benefit from what they are doing and apply it ourselves.

I was so impressed by the young DOER of the group - the one who puts into effect all the strategies and tactics - that Terry and I made it a point to meet him and get his contact information.

So, how are these guys doing it? Well, it has to do with using Pay Per Click and Affiliate Marketing and Traffic Arbitrage.

All techniques I was sort of familiar with but never put into effect (at least not good effect) for our business.

Within 1 hour of this session, I understood everything I have been doing wrong in Pay Per Click, everything we had been doing wrong in terms of driving traffic (and I thought we got significant traffic before this) and I was totally and utterly blown away.

I am convinced these guys can help ANYONE who is willing to learn from them to achieve the same kinds of success.

If you want to learn how to CRANK and BANK (as they call it) and bring in serious volumes of traffic, leads and sales into your business (or as an affiliate), then I suggest you stay tuned to this blog where I will be updating you as they release more information.

Yes, you know the drill, there will be a product launch but there will be a ton of free info that you can use to grow your business.

I don't care if you are the newest newbie or the most grizzled veteran, this affiliate arbitrage Pay Per Click model WORKS!

I encourage you to follow every word of this launch. Those of you who know me well, know I almost NEVER, EVER get involved in Pre-launch hype. But this my friends is the real deal.

Stay tuned!
