What It Did Wrong

Yep. Affiliate Marketing was fired and
escorted from the building. Before I tell you why...

Are you an Affiliate Marketer?
(trying to make money?)

Before I say anything...I have to admit how excited I am about what I just discovered because there were things that always bothered me about some of the claims made by many affiliate programs.

It's the exciting and enticing promise to:
"promote once and get paid forever."

Some of you more experienced affiliate
marketers see the fatal flaw in the above
statement.

There's a BIG problem with affiliate
marketing that MAY be causing you to
lose ALL your affiliate commissions
...or even have your commissions "stolen."

I don't know about you...but
I find this totally unacceptable.

Affiliate Marketing's Flaws

To sum it up (and you can beat this
Income-robbing problem) I'll use
ClickBank as an example.

If you've dealt with ClickBank, you
know you can earn up to a 75%
commission on an affiliate sale and
earn recurring commissions on affiliate
sales with recurring billing (like paid
monthly membership sites.)

I'll not get too complicated with
this...but ClickBank knows how to credit
you with your commission due to the
use of "cookies."

See, cookies are always bad. :-)

But let me play the "Devil's Advocate:"

Many things can happen after someone
visits your ClickBank link and your
cookie is "dropped" on their computer.

(1) What if the cookie expires (the prospect's
PC drops the cookie) after the given expiration
time and the prospect goes directly to the
website's URL and then buys the product
you were promoting?

You lose all the money and/or all
potential future residual money.

(2) What if your prospect visits your
link & doesn't buy initially...but your
cookie was dropped in case he/she returns.

What you didn't know was your prospect
has anti-viral/anti-spyware that periodically
cleans their PC of cookies.

(OR what if your prospect set their web browser
to completely block cookies?)

The prospect goes directly to the site's
URL and then buys the product you were promoting...
you just lost all the money and all potential
future residual money.

(3) MANY other factors can cause you
to lose out on "cookie-based"
affiliate program profits and/or a residual income.

A couple other short tidbits to consider:

(a) There are precious few affiliate programs
which really convert (turn the "prospect" into a
"buyer") very well, and when they DO show up
and are available for you to promote, you've
got to be "in the know" to find out about them
(before it's already promoted all over the Internet)

(b) The REALLY high end affiliate products
and services rarely have a good program
with a generous commission structure
and/or a high converting website. (AND
it usually takes longer to sell a prospect
a "really high end" product)

(c) You may be thinking you could "cloak," "hide"
or "mask" your affiliate url (example: the url
http://www.FirstAlert.ws/likes/Silver-Win-Win
stays in your browser's url window, but shows the page
http://www.SilverSnowBallSite.com/True-Win-Win.htm
So, the prospect never sees the SilverSnowBallSite
in their browser's url window / bar) BUT...cloaking
can and has lead to loss of affiliate commission
earnings whether due to cookie "malfunction"
or simply the affiliate site not working properly
while "cloaked."

If someone could solve all these problems,
I know you could easily earn thousands in passive,
residual income from a SINGLE referral.

So...is there a fail proof solution ensuring
you will earn the affiliate commissions you deserve
from your work & promotion?

That would be nice. Guess what?

NOW THERE IS! (and the concept is absolute genius!)
I think someone has invented the cutting-edge, next
level in Affiliate Marketing.

In case you aren't familiar with Glenn Livingston...
in short he is basically the best PPC / AdWords
person in the world. Seriously.

Glenn combined ALL of his educational
products with his personal high end
advertising services. Add sophisticated tracking +
he puts YOUR affiliate link on EVERYTHING
he does in his enormity of genuinely valuable
follow up content (over 130 free MP3s, videos,
cheat sheets, and articles), and you'll see why
this just might be the Next Level in affiliate marketing.

|||| SIDEBAR |||| When your prospect joins /opts-in
for free...all the follow up / new advertisements...
EVERYTHING arrives in an email with your unique
affiliate links that they keep track of for you! When
you see the information (and maybe try out some of
the freebies he has for yourself) you'll see the
AMAZING power of this affiliate earning system.

And I just found out very recently from a friend of
Glenn's - and Glenn let him announce it first
