AFFILIATE BENEFITS
Thank you for taking the time to consider becoming an affiliate for
Launch Your Own Affiliate Review Site Monopoly. In addition to making a healthy
50 percent commission on the ebook, you also stand to benefit from backend
commissions on software licenses (see details below).
Before we get to the details, however, let me take a minute to explain why promoting this product is going to benefit you. You and I both know that the quality of the majority of affiliate promoted ebooks and low-priced software is generally pretty darn poor. Well, I can guarantee that this is not the case here.
When you promote Launch Your Own Affiliate Review Site Monopoly you won't need to secretly feel that you're pushing some cheesy product that you'd never use yourself, let alone buy. The ebook alone is worth every penny to the review site affiliate who needs to focus on the right things to be doing to turn a profit. Then there is the complementary Review Site license.
Go ahead and take a serious look at the demo site for Review Site, and skim the documentation pages. This is not some cheaply-produced application that doesn't mesh well with real life requirements for an affiliate web site. It is, in fact, a carefully crafted piece of software from a top-notch software developer (see, no false modesty here).
So, the bottom line is that you are going to be promoting a quality product which you can feel good about.

Note: The way indirect Review Foundry sales come about is that your ClickBank affiliate
nickname is captured in reviewfoundry.com cookies when
you send a visitor to the ebook page. This cookie is then pulled up again when the visitor
(now a customer) clicks on the
http://www.reviewfoundry.com/foundry/ links within the ebook.
So even if you do not promote Review Foundry directly, if you have signed up as a Random Mouse Software affiliate you can make commissions on sales of Review Foundry. My gift to you.
I know, sometimes I think I try too hard to please my affiliates.

Wow - I Think My Review Site Templates Just Got Retired...
If you're an affiliate marketer like I am, you've probably had occasion to try cobbling together a product review site or two. Unfortunately, whenever I've tried this and got my hands dirty with HTML, the end result was never pretty - even when I was using someone's borrowed templates to do it. Well, maybe we don't have to worry about doing this anymore. It seems that a clever marketer named Stephen Carter has figured out how to <a href="http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/">build mini review sites</a> without needing to touch a single template. Better yet, he claims his software will build the kind of affiliate review sites that make Google love you. To be honest, I have heard these kinds of claims before, so I almost didn't bother checking this out. But, boy, was I pleasantly surprised. This guy's mini review site is a thing of both artistic and engineering beauty. But don't take my word for it. Go check out the demo site at <a href="http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/">Affiliate Review Site Monopoly</a> to see what I mean. Seriously, that software does it all. Review pages, articles, an automatic product comparison page. Even a search engine. And every page appears to be completely SEO optimized. But that's not the best thing. Stephen Carter is actually GIVING AWAY a software license with every copy of his ebook about running successful review sites. It doesn't make sense to me, and I don't know how long the offer will last, but it sounds like something worth jumping on while you can. I know that if I had to pay someone to create a site like that for me it would easily cost me $5000. I suggest you grab a copy now before Stephen figures this out for himself. |

Very Nice - The Black Ink Project 2.0 Packaged As Software
Here's a nice development for the Black Ink Project. Someone has taken Jeremy Palmer's concepts for putting together a profitable affiliate review site, and turned them into a <a href="http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/">piece of software</a> that pumps out a fully-formed mini review site. If you've heard of Jeremy Palmer you probably know that he's a super affiliate who brings in over a million dollars a year promoting other people's products. In mid-2008 he launched a series of free video sessions that detail what it takes to put together a profitable affiliate web site. He called this The Black Ink Project 1.0 and then he ran an encore project named, you guessed it, Black Ink 2.0 The goal of Black Ink 2.0 was to follow Jeremy's progress as he put together a mini review site, from building wire frames for the site, to crowdsourcing the graphical design, to outsourcing the backend code to run the thing. The budget for this was about $1000, and that's what he ended up spending. It also took more than six weeks to implement. As all of this was happening, it occurred to one of the Black Ink 2.0 followers that it would be handy to have a piece of software that could immediately deploy a mini review site like Jeremy's. It would be a lot easier than having to jump through all the hoops that Jeremy was suggesting. Quicker, a lot less demanding, and way cheaper. So this guy - his name is Stephen Carter - built one. Turns out he was a master software developer looking at The Black Ink Project as a way of expanding his marketing skills. Now, there's obviously a lot more to running a successful mini review site than just deploying a piece of software. I guess that's why he wrote an accompanying ebook called <a href="http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/">Launch Your Own Affiliate Review Site Monopoly</a>. But there's definitely some advantage to being able to automate the building of these sites. As anyone who has gone through The Black Ink Project videos is likely to tell you - there's just a heck of a lot to learn before you can turn a profit. Cutting down on expenses just represents a huge advantage to affiliates, especially if you are just starting out and you are strapped for cash. The thing I found surprising is that Stephen is actually GIVING AWAY a license for his Review Site software with every copy of his ebook. In my experience, usually when someone is giving away software it means it's not actually something you'd consider paying money for. But then I got a look at the demo, and it COMPLETELY changed my mind. If you're at all curious to see what The Black Ink Project looks like as software, and find out for yourself what impressed me, then you can simply <a href="http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/">go see for yourself</a>. |

Subject Line: Help Me Find The Flaw In This Software...
Hi {!name}, I am taking a quick break from playing with a new tool I came across today. It's a ridiculously smart little web application that helps you build mini affiliate review sites complete with product comparisons. I have never seen anything like it, so right now my head is swimming with possibilities. If you want to see what impressed me, scroll down the page until you come to the demo section for the software. That has to be the best looking mini review site I have ever seen. I'm looking for problems with the backend right now. But so far I can't find a thing wrong with it. If you spot anything, let me know. >>> http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/ Sincerely, [Your Name] [YourSite.com] |

Subject Line: Can Building Affiliate Review Sites Really Be This Easy?
Hi {!name}, I've just finished building my first product comparison site. I'd considered doing this in the past but it always seemed like too much effort. Then yesterday I came across a gem of an application that can help you churn out a mini review site in about a day. Yes, I still had to write half a dozen product reviews for my chosen niche, but that was pretty much the hardest part of it. And I did it all in less than 48 hours, which really isn't bad. Sure beats paying $1000 to get a mini site outsourced, and then having to wait a month to see the results. Stephen Carter, the guy who created this application is giving away a license of the software with his ebook "Launch Your Own Affiliate Review Site Monopoly". If you want to see a fully functioning demo of the software just scroll down his ebook homepage: >>> http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/ I haven't had a chance to read the ebook yet, but I can tell you the software is a knockout! Sincerely, [Your Name] [YourSite.com] |

The Two Main Reasons That People Fail To Generate A Full Time Income With Mini Review Sites
Well, it's hardly a secret that you need to be more than proficient at dozens of different skills if you want to make a decent income online. If that wasn't the case affiliate marketing could be learned in a day. But if we restrict the discussion to mini review sites, then there are really just two aspects of marketing that stick out and seem to make the difference between success and failure - that is, between profit or loss - and they both relate to the selection of your niche. Reason #1 - Lack of Niche Specificity Too often when an affiliate marketer gets it into their head that they need to create a product review site to drive affiliate sales, the importance of niche selection escapes their careful consideration. Instead, they focus on product selection, and then ask: given that this product carries a high commission and seems to be a good one, what is the niche that it targets? Then they promote that product and find a couple of runner-up products with which it can be contrasted. So why might this not work too well? It's because buyers aren't interested in products, per se, they are interested in solutions to their problems. If you want to sell them solutions, then you are going to need to be able to get inside their heads and figure out exactly which questions they need answered before they can take one of your recommendations (of a product) and run with it. You need to understand the people behind the niche. When you are able to do that you can claim to understand the niche. At that point, assuming you understand what distinguishes the different products serving that niche, then you can recommend the RIGHT SOLUTION for their problem. That's how you get good conversion rates. Maybe the right solution is the one with the highest commission. If so, great. But don't base your recommendations solely on the expected payoff. It's the slippery slope that inevitably leads to the kind of disengenuous recommendations that flow into your email box every day. I am sure you are familiar with them. If you become THAT person, is it any wonder that you cannot make sales? Reason #2 - Selecting The Niche With Low Profit Potential From the viewpoint of profit potential you absolutely need to appreciate that not all niches are created equal. Some niches have a population behind them that is constantly searching for solutions to perennial problems that really can't be solved but for which people seek solutions nonetheless. Some examples: How do you convince your spouse to remain faithful without directly addressing the issue with them and causing them to start questioning the status quo? How do you run your car on water when any sensible person knows that it's a pure flight of fancy? How do you become more attractive to the opposite sex when there is really nothing you are willing to do to change who you are? Tapping into, and perpetuating, people's fantasies actually turns out to be incredibly lucrative. But it requires you to be the kind of marketer who is comfortable parting people from their money without providing them with anything close to the value they think they are getting. Fortunately you don't HAVE to be that kind of person to succeed as an online marketer. There are lots of niches that support products which offer real solutions to everyday problems, and which have a huge base of consumers behind them. You find those niches by doing keyword research and figuring out what people are looking for online. Generally it's not hard to distinguish the REAL solutions from those of the WISHFUL THINKING variety. What you decide to promote is up to you. Stephen Carter, author of <a href="http://yourname.rsmonopoly.hop.clickbank.net/">Launch Your Own Affiliate Review Site Monopoly</a> shows you what it takes to run successful affiliate review sites, and do it on a shoestring budget. He also throws in a free license for his mini review site software with every copy of the ebook. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Why Is The Product Priced So Low?
I'll admit, if it was just an ebook that the customer was getting, then the price would not be considered overly low. It would be pretty much par for the course. But then there is the Review Site software. This, of itself, can represent a savings of around $1000 to the new affiliate who is looking to put together a simple but professional-looking review site. Price the functionality of the web site yourself. I guarantee you'll be hard pressed to find a developer that can produce something comparable for less than $1000. So when you think about it like that, yes, the product is priced extremely low.
Why so low? Because I have tried to over deliver.
If someone asks for a refund it is not going to be because they bought something that didn't measure up. It will probably be because they discover that they are too lazy to consider actually doing the work to launch a site of their own after they realize that there is no such thing as an automated profit machine (which despite my efforts not to hype this product, they have nonetheless assumed this to be). Well, that's human nature. I guess there's only so much you can expect of a customer.
2. What Is The Best Promotion Strategy For This Product?
Because the commission for Affiliate Review Site Monopoly is over $30 it is possible to consider PPC campaigns as a promotion strategy if you can get your average cost per click low enough. How low depends on the the keywords you come up with and their innate ability to convert. So while PPC is possible, it requires some ingenuity.
An easier way to do promotions is through direct recommendations to people on your newsletters, or ezines. The fact is, the Review Site software is a more than useful tool for affiliate marketers. You don't have to go to much effort to presell this software. Just point prospects toward the demo and the software practically sells itself.
3. How Can I Be Sure That I'll Get Paid On Time - Or At All?
ClickBank® manages the affiliate program for my ebook, as well as the licensing for my mini Review Site software. So the customer actually pays ClickBank® directly and they in turn pay you.
That means your commission is credited to you the moment the sale is processed. You're never waiting on me to pay you. ClickBank® pays you every two weeks, like clockwork.

AFFILIATE CONDUCT
Before you start promoting my products, I only have one request: Please don't "spam" people.
And I'm not just talking about the illegal kind (see the clarification on spamming below).
I'm also talking about the overall approach taken to promoting my products. Please make sure that you are not being "hypey", unrealistic or cheesy when you contact your subscribers or client-base, publish ads/articles or otherwise drive targeted traffic.
I assure you - if you think that line of approach will work for this product, you will only end up disappointing yourself. Your target audience should be people like yourself who recognize a quality product when they see it, but understand also that it takes diligence, application, and intelligence to actually use a quality product to its full potential. If you promote my products as instant fixes to all the ails of affiliates then we both lose.
Thanks so much in advance.
