Desperate Affiliate turns SUPER Affiliate
A little less than year ago, I received a phone call from an affiliate marketer who was in desperate need of help.
His affiliate commissions had dropped by an astounding 40K per month.
The poor guy hadn’t read the Super Affiliate Handbook.
But he did one thing right - he asked for help, then read the Handbook.
Read about his SUPER ‘come-back’ in this week’s NPT…

Still Looking for Content?
If you’re still looking for content, you’ll be glad to know that Jimmy D. Brown and Ryan Deiss of Nicheology fame have just launched ‘Content Goldmine‘, their limited membership PLR article site.
I picked up my membership on Friday, looked through it over the weekend, and this month’s articles are all in niches with nice BIG markets. 
Here’s the deal. Each month Jim and Ryan deliver articles, an ecourse, a keyword list and an affiliate datasheet in 10 different niches to Content Goldmine members.
Yes, ten!
For $29.97 a month, that’s a LOT of content.
As I mentioned, membership is limited, and I know that Jim and Ryan sold Niche OLOGY out in a few days (it’s been sold out for over TWO YEARS now) and I expect Content Goldmine (CGM) to be as successful.
If you’re still looking for content, check out Content Goldmine… you’ve got nothing to lose.
Cheers,

Underground - Only 31 Seats Left
I just checked, and there are only 31 seats left at Yanik’s Underground Seminar.
Seriously, if you’re planning to attend, don’t wait - book your spot now.
My guess is that Yanik will be doing a final ‘push’ to his list today, so your spot might not be available if you wait until tomorrow.
I’ll be there, hope you will be too!
See you at the Underground!

Good Niche Advice…
You’re gonna love this!
Brad Fallon and Anthony Blake, have collared niche expert and “Strike It Niche!” author, Michael Holland, on a free teleseminar next Wednesday (February 1st).
And they’re going to make Michael sing like a trapped canary with a bad crack habit!
He will reveal the niche marketing tactics that keep him in fine wine and good couture (yes, I do know Michael) from a nice six-figure online income.
Here is what you’ll learn:
- How to find high-profit potential niche markets
- Why more than 90% of new web sites are doomed from the start and what you can do to avoid this fate
- Which type of web sites you should be creating ‘Today’ and why
- The key ingredients to every successful niche business
- How to get tons o’ visitors to your niche sites
- And a whole lot more!
Best of all, you’ll also get the scoop on some actual high demand, low competition niches he’s never shared with anyone.
But Michael has another motive as well.
He’s tired of those gurus who make it seem like earning money online is complicated.
He says it’s not, and I agree… if you use the right approach and don’t get sidetracked.
Anyway, Michael can explain what he means a lot better than I can.
Reserve your seat on the call today because only a limited number of slots are available….
And yes, I’ll be listening too!
All the best, Ros

New Secret Mission
I just got this “mission” from Yanik Silver.
This is probably one of the most innovative and fun promotions I’ve seen in some time.
Not only should you go check it out because it’s fun to play - but pay attention to how he incorporated promotion strategies inside the game.
I was totally impressed!
Ros
P.S. Here’s Yaniks original email:
* * *
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is waiting for you here.
This assignment is Double Zero classified and we cannot reveal anymore here. You *must* use the activation code to unlock your mission.
The activation code is:
36675
If you succeed you will be well rewarded for your effort.
However, as always, in the event of detection the agency will disavow any knowledge of your involvement. We’re counting on you.
Yanik Silver,
Director Y.S.S.

Affiliate Application Hassles
Today I applied to join the BlahBlah.com CPA network.
The application process was dead simple. Click to accept their Terms of Agreement and Can Spam policies, fill out the usual mailing and site address information and away you go.
The first sign of trouble was the ‘referred by’ form blank.
“So much for affiliates getting paid their due for referals”, thinks I.
A few hours later, I received the following confirmation:
Hi Rosalind,
Thank you for your interest in BlahBlah.com. On Jan 24, 2006, you registered for one of the largest CPA networks on the web! Before we proceed to approve your account, please take this opportunity to review and respond to the following questions:
1. Will you be promoting our offers via websites?
2. If yes, how much traffic does the site(s) receive on a monthly basis? Are you an incentivized site?
3. What is the country of origin of the visitors to the site(s)?
4. Will you be promoting our offers via a newsletter or email list?
5. If yes, are all the opt-in records readily accessible if requested?
6. What is the size of your list?
7. How did you build your email list (purchased or created your own)?
8. How often do you email to your list?
9. Are there any specific type of offers that are currently working well for you or that you prefer to run?
10. Are you working with any other ad networks? (If so, what is your average monthly revenue earned from them?)In addition, please provide me with a contact person and telephone number, as procedure dictates that we must speak with you prior to approval of your application.
Once your account is approved, we can work together to achieve your marketing objectives.
Looking forward to working with you!
Someone from BlahBlah.com
BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah….
OK, I know it’s vital for networks and merchants to know exactly who they’re dealing with nowadays.
But why the heck weren’t those questions part of the original application form?
As to asking for a contact person and telephone number… I already gave that information - why didn’t a BlahBlah.com representative just pick up the phone and call me?
Joining their network is absolutely NOT worth the hassle of having to write long answers to questions that could have been handled at the time of application.
So too bad, BlahBlah.com, your loss is my time better spent on this blog post .
Cheers,
Rosalind
