You
don't need to learn a new language to understand this -
it makes sense to any fool that when you can make more money
doing what you're already doing, you do it.
In
fact, what I have to share with you works so powerfully
well that you might wonder if it's even legal . . .
Hi,
this is X.
My
customers know my name. Others may know me as "X",
author of the Adwords Black Book, The IMXFiles
and the Affiliate Black Book.
You
may not be familiar with me, but you can ask any successful
affiliate marketer and they'll tell you: X is legendary.
(Internet marketing is a copycat business - why do you think
so many products are named "black book" or "X"
. . . EXACTLY.)
I
am finally putting my face out there because, hell, let's
face it - it's a good face. Ah, just kidding but I understand
that some people - some who need my help the most - will
choose to not do business with some anonymous character
they don't know.
Great
- we can cross that excuse off the list and move forward
. . .

Seven
years ago I purchased the most powerful money-making software
program I've ever owned.
It
wasn't a page generator, or a keyword research tool.
It
wasn't anything most affiliate marketers even noticed .
. . but it totally transformed my business.
What
was that tool?
Let's
just say that it was a tool for cloaking affiliate links
- and it did some other very clever things too.
Now, you're right, "cloaking links" isn't anything
revolutionary - you can go find a free cloaking plugin on
Wordpress.org or use a service like Bit.ly
No,
this is something far more profound that allows you to do
what other affiliates cannot and some, due to complete
ignorance, will not.
This
is magic.
I
saw potential uses for this technology that nobody else
had seen - at least if they did, they weren't sharing that
information!
As
a result of using this special form of cloaking
YOU . . .

Before
we get too far ahead of ourselves with gratuitous hype,
let's be honest about the current reality of
affiliate marketing.
We've
got states making things more difficult because local merchants
who are WAY behind the times need to blame the failure
of their business on somebody! (BAD)
We've
always had merchants who undervalue and rip us off. (BAD)
We've
got certain gurus who talk about us like we're some kind
of scourge to be eradicated. (BAD)
Oh
yeah, and then we've got Google and their modern day witch
hunt. (BAD)
Life
has gotten much tougher on a lot of affiliates over the
last year - even those of us who've been successful. (BAD)
I've
felt the pain of my customers (BAD)
and I've considered saying "screw affiliate marketing".
(BAD) I really
have and I'm sure you've felt the same way.
But
it's because I see that happening en-masse - And it's because
I see people abandoning the dream of making a living
online - or even extra money - (BAD)
that my inner Tyler Durden has said &**^ that. (GOOD!)
Business
is about one thing and it's not making money - because if
you can do this one thing, then you're going to make a LOT
of money. Money is a side-effect, a symptom of the cause
that gets it right.
Business
is about seeing a problem and fixing it. You do that and
you will make money. Period.
There
are a lot of businesses out there desperate for help. There
are great products that aren't selling. There are people
looking for needed and necessary solutions . . .
(And
no I'm not going to tell you to be a consultant, getting
paid a one-time flat fee when you can cash in with complete
control, month-after-month-after-month - FOR YEARS!)
And
the only damned way any of these people succeed is if affiliates
- like you and me - solve their problems and help everyone
win.
So
how, exactly, do the good guys
win when the deck is stacked against them?

Then
don't appear to be an affiliate.
I
know the thought in your head . . .
"How
do I do that?"
Well,
the truth is this: with the existing tools in your toolbox
you can't.
Your
run of the mill link cloaker sure isn't going to help.
When
a merchant gives you an affiliate link to promote with you've
been painted into a corner without knowing it.
Think
about the limitations of an affiliate link -
- Spotty
tracking - nearly 30% of all sales are not tracked EVEN
WHEN your link is clicked.
- Requires
a somewhat meaningless action - when you read a review,
then buy a product, do you always click their affiliate
link? NO!
- Limits
where you can send people - lousy squeeze page, lousy
sales letter, pages selling 10 things you don't care about
selling.
- Labels
you - affiliate scum just trying to make a quick buck.
- Makes
you a target for theft - five fingered discounts anyone?
- Lack
of control - you'll send people where we say you'll
send people, says your merchant pimp.
- Erodes
credibility - the only reason you're promoting this
is for a commission. I thought I could trust you.
- Etc,
Etc, Etc . . . if it weren't so damned depressing I'd
go on.

Nearly
all problems for affiliates trying to sell a product WELL
involve the exposure, risk and limitations of affiliate
links.
Let
me repeat that.
Nearly
all problems for affiliates trying to sell a product WELL
involve the exposure, risk and limitations of affiliate
links.
Think
about it.


If
you use Soda Popper you're going to have as much control
as you *can* have as an affiliate - and that's quite a
lot.
If
you don't use Soda Popper then you lack control.
Period.
So
why do you need to have control? . . . You're investing
your time, your energy and your money into building your
business only to leave closing the deal up to someone
else?!
Take
the bull by the horns amigo!
Consider
this scenario:
You've
put the time and money into building a 30 page website
that features one product.
Or
maybe you've built out a network of sites - a link wheel
- promoting that one product.
Or,
you've put that same time, money and effort into writing
articles that promote a product and submitting those promotions
all over the Interenet.
Then
the merchant decides
they no longer want to pay out fees to Clickbank or Commission
Junction and they take their program in house - or to
another affiliate tracking platform.
Then
what?
A.
You don't track down all of those links and they go to
a dead page.
.
. . YOU LOSE MONEY! BAD!
B.
You do track them all down but it takes days to swap out
freakin' links.
.
. . YOU LOSE MONEY! BAD! YOU WASTE TIME! BAD!
You
know what I'm saying if you've been an affiliate for more
than a month or two.
Or
how about that merchant decides to radically change their
home page and it no longer converts. Some "web designer"
thought some worthless 10-minute ego-boosting flash orgy
was a better way to wow and awe the masses.
Well,
if your affiliate link points to that crap then you're
stuck, ain't ya pardner.
.
. . YOU LOSE MONEY! BAD!
With
Soda Popper you will be able to
A) Send people to any page you define
and you can alter that page anytime you want *without*
changing a link anywhere.
B)
Ensure that your affiliate tracking cookie gets placed.
CONTROL
IS GOOD! CONTROL IS VERY, VERY GOOD!


Someone
once asked me - "How am I supposed to compete with
the big players who can afford to spend three times as
much on a click as I can."
The
answer is simple -
You
need a better business model. You need to make a click
worth three times what it is worth to you currently.
You
need to find a way to make the numbers work.
Under
normal circumstances an affiliate only gets paid once
for a front-end sale. At least that's how the affiliates
who haven't figured it out operate.
Right
now, I'm figuring it out for you - I'm telling you THIS
IS HOW YOU MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK FOR YOU . . .
Think
about this . . .
I
sell a number of products through Clickbank. About 12
of them and they're all sold through 2 Clickbank accounts
which we'll just call account1 and account2.
As
a MERCHANT this poses two problems.
The
first problem is that Clickbank only allows you to define
one destination URL to attach to your account.
Anyone
using the affiliate link associated with account1 sends
people to the landing page selling just ONE of my products.
So
what if they want to sell a different product? What if
YOU wanted to sell a different product?
Well,
logic might say, "Dude, just create a unique account
for each product."
Yeah?
What
happens then when we start cross-selling and upselling
those other products? Affiliate only gets paid for one
product - and that might not even be the product they
originally referred for.
This
is how it plays -
1.
Affiliate sends me traffic
2. Visitor opts in
3. Visitor ends up buying something else
4. Affiliate gets nothing
That's
just not cool and it doesn't encourage affiliates
to help us sell.
Not
winning! Duh!
And
the second problem?
Charlie
Sheen got in my head and I don't even recall. Maybe it
will come to me later.
The
point here is that I actually want my affiliates to get
paid for helping my business.
I
know - it's radical.
And
then we have my Internet marketing gig here. I sell things
through RAP (Rapid Action Profits), 1 Shopping Cart, and
the $7 Script.
I'd
like to give my affiliates a way to promote a lead generating
product, like Soda Popper using the RAP platform, get
their commissions paid immediately to their PayPal account.
And
as an additional incentive I'd like them to get paid for
anyone who then joins my membership site - but that's
tracked through 1ShoppingCart. Well, guess what? Soda
Popper can handle that scenario.
And
if you're an affiliate promoting someone who's selling
products through multiple accounts or tracking platforms
then you can get paid commissions you really should
get paid.
And
who is going to win the Battle Royale? The affiliate who
can make the numbers work.
So
here's the deal.
Sales
letters are boring.
We've
done the headline, the subheadline and I've told you a
little story. I've given you a little bit to read and
if you know my existing body of work then you're already
convinced - and if you don't then you're sitting on the
fence wondering if you should get this, if it's just another
waste of cash or maybe you should go buy up some new PLR
because you still have a little space on your hard drive.
I
could write on and on about the possibilities here but
some of this stuff just requires a video.
Watch
this - it's not some hour-long wank around that disrespects
your time. And it's not laden with emotional button pushing
images that suggest you'll get sexed-up by super-models
in Ferrari's.
I'm
just going to show you what this script looks like and
how it works. If you decide to invest in it then we'll
get into a little more detail about some creative uses
which basically do one thing - they can
make you more money from the same traffic and the same
lists. You'll swear it's magic. You might even
swear that it's so easy it must be cheating. It's not
- it's just smart.
Watch
now:
