Sunday Reading: Affiliate Jump and Free Downloads

Dotcom Note — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:31:09 +0000

The emails on make money online and become a millionaire keeps on pouring into my inboxes. Of course, I don’t waste my time reading all these emails. I don’t even open all of them. I only open the one if the header grabs my attention. Today, the two emails that grabbed my attention are Affiliate Jump that I have already reviewed earlier and where to download boat loads of free online marketing ebooks and tools.

Affiliate Jump is now approving 100% into their CPA programs. I wonder why they would not when they are getting a monthly fee for each subscriber. People are lining up to pay them a monthly subscription fee with a dream to make millions promoting CPA offers. This is the call to action for the Affiliate Jump in their follow up email to me: Get your account set up right now and within minutes you too will be able to get your share of the huge CPA commission pie.

In their missions for the humanity to remove all the barriers to CPA promotions, it seems they have become very successful in filling their bank accounts. Other CPA networks will not approve all the affiliates and they’ll not charge you a monthly subscription fee if you’re approved. But these guys are ahead of the game and they will approve you into their network, 100% guaranteed, because they don’t care if you are able to make money promoting their CPA offers or not. They will always make money from your subscription.

Another joker sends me an email and tells me to go to this site where I can downloads free gifts, ebooks, online marketing tools and lots of other stuff. Who doesn’t want free stuff, right? So, I go to this web site and the landing page is a long list of free stuff that I can download. When I click on the first download link, I’m taken to another page to enter my email address. I thought, “well it is not that bad and everybody does it to collect opt-in email addresses to fill my inbox with worthless junk anyway.“

You think that my misery will be over as soon as I enter my name and email address in the opt-in form, right? I will be taken to the download page and I can happily download another useless ebook that I will never read and will sit in my hard drive till it dies.

Wait, my misery has only started. After I entered my email address, the auto-responder page instructed me to verify my email. I opened my Gmail account and clicked on a link.

I landed on another page that told me to check my email again for the download link. I went to my Gmail account and opened the newly arrived email with the download link, I assumed. As soon as I opened the link, one smarty pant in a loud voice started to tell me how he had made millions in the last two years using some super secrets.

This joker wants me to buy his super secrets for only $27. But he is honest. He tells me that he cannot guarantee any income for me because he does not know how I am going to implement his super secret. It all depends on my implementation. I wonder why the hell I am paying him $27 if he is not going to tell me the right way to implement his super secret.

Anyway, I could not find a way to stop his nonsense and there was no donwload link that was immediately obvious. So, my quest for a free download ended up in 20 minutes of wasted time.

The Jedi Master has taught his apprentices very well and these Internet Marketers are really becoming very good at doing whatever they are doing to fill their bank account.

CPA Tsunami Review – Launch Your Own CPA Offer

Dotcom Note — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:03:02 +0000

CPA or cost per action is a raze now. Everybody and their brother is launching CPA marketing courses to make you an expert CPA marketer and a millionaire. If you are confused about CPA and think it is some kind of accounting system, please leave the Internet Marketing field and never comeback again.

This landscape is extremely fertile. The gold rush is happening right now in front of your eyes but you are not able to see it because the few privileged ones are hiding it from you so that you don’t become rich. But that is going to change because of one guy’s tireless mission to make everybody a CPA offer creator; only if you hand him over close to $2,000 to buy his CPA Tsunami course.

Did you notice one thing different here? He is not talking about making you a super CPA affiliate. He will teach you techniques that you can use to launch your own CPA offers and hire those super CPA affiliates to make money for you. What a genius idea! While everybody and their brother is selling CPA affiliate course for a few hundred bucks, this guy has kicked it up a notch by offering you a course on how to launch your own CPA offer and make millions a day.

I go to his website. Make a mental note of what is happening in his web site as I describe it here because he is implementing some of the same techniques that he teaches to people for $50,000 in his own website to sell his $2,000 product. I see a video and a simple one text box where I have to enter my email address so that he can fill my inbox with his super secret CPA marketing knowledge.

The video on the landing page is confusing. It shows fancy cars, high speed chase, luxury homes, boats and load of other crap that I forgot. “Am I watching a movie trailer?”, I wondered. The video does not tell me any super secrets. For, that I need to enter my email address and go inside the guarded super secret castle. It only tells me that he has the secret and I must enter my email to get more. So I did.

Inside, he has seven videos. Some are short and some are long. “This guy is a master Internet Marketer. He is the legitimate one and others are scam artists”, I paraphrase a person’s announcement in one of the longest video. One of the slide in a presentation video shows, “Yes You Can!” I sat on my chair and tried to remember where did I see that slogan last year.

In the longest presentation style video, he starts his talk by telling the audience that you don’t need education or money to succeed in CPA offer marketing. But I am sure you still need $2,000 to buy his program . I guess, you can borrow $2,000 to purchase his product from your credit card and go deeper in debt. It really does not matter. There is a price to pay for sweet dreams. Nightmares are for free.

His super secret starts with telling his audience “what is web traffic.” His audience is in awe of his CPA knowledge.

Some of the golden nuggets of free information that he delves into those videos are

What is CPA marketing and CPA Network. CPA Network is a repository of CPA offers. Top CAP networks are Clickbooth, CX Digital, Hydra, ROI Rocket, etc.
RFT. Risk Free Trial. Try Before You Buy Concept (what a super secret! I have to give credit to this guy to come up with such a fantastic idea!)
Value trojans. Small monthly subscriptions that you can sneak into the customers’ buying process so that they forget it to cancel and you keep on billing.
And much more…

You learn lots of marketing techniques in CPA Tsunami to take money from your customers by selling them useless products and subscriptions that they really don’t need. The stupid customers will buy these products, instead of saving money for their retirement or nice vacations. But the techniques you will learn will definitely make your retirement secured. Go for it if you want sweet dreams instead of dark night mares.

Zero Friction Marketing Review – Grease Your Affiliate Efforts

If you are experiencing too much friction in your affiliate marketing efforts, Zero Friction Marketing gives you the secret, magic lubrication to remove all the friction between you and the untold affiliate riches. It is a CPA course. Yesterday, I talked about another CPA program called Affiliate Jump. This CPA thingy is heating up and all gurus are eager to teach you how to make millions CPA marketing.

As I am always a sucker for this kind of things, I immediately clicked on the link in my email to land on the Zero Friction Market site. And there it was - a video. Now these internet marketing scripts are becoming very predictable. I was expecting a video and there it was. Besides the video, there was list, like in a spreadsheet column, that showed all the money, totaling $107,129.39 that somebody – mostly probably the creator of the program – has made using Zero Friction Marketing.

Wait, let me check who is the creator. No, it does not say anything at least on the first paragraph of the long sales letter. The income figures are very recent. I think the creator of the program got tired of making so much money that wanted everybody to learn his secret for a hefty $1,000 fee. He thought, “why not? I have this system and I am going to ask for $1,000 to reveal my super secrets.”

I am sorry, the video (not the one I mentioned above) is a testimonial from somebody who is absolutely delighted about the secret CPA program and he has made thousands. The are few other testimonial videos. A gal who made $1,300 in her first week. The last testimonial is encouraging people who are making small amounts of money from CPA marketing, to enroll in the course to increase their earnings.

So, it does not matter. The creator has figured it out and would help newbies and people who are already doing CPA marketing for mere $1,000. Don’t worry you are laid off from your job. Here is passport to show the finger to your former boss.

The best part of the program is you don’t need anything.

No website
No product
No Cusotmer list
No Adwords
No traffic budget

You may be a bum, but you can still make money as long as you can afford the price for the course. As I scroll down the long sales page, I finally located a video where somebody logs into an affiliate network to show the money he has made in a couple of months. It is more than half a million dollars. But he does not tell how much money he has spent on advertising.

So here you have it all. Zero Friction Marketing to remove all the friction you have in your life. I love the names these marketers come up with.

Affiliate Jump Reviewed – CPA Marketing Could Never Be Easier

I get this email in my inbox that delighted in my ignorance about CPA (cost per action) marketing. He wants me to watch his video at Affiliate Jump site and to sign up with my email so that he can give more sales pitches about some kind of CPA course, guranteed enrollment in CPA programs, instant landing page creation, webinars and more. These webinars and interviews with people who talk about how they are making millions are a sure way to waste lots of your time.

Affiliate Jump would give me all the tools I need to rake in unimaginable profits from CPA marketing as long as I subscribe to the membership site for a monthly fee. I can make six-figure income from the comfort of my home. Who can resist?

I sure cannot resist. So I rushed to the site where I can take my affiliate marketing to the next level, as they claimed. No surprise there. Like hundreds of other sites, this one also has a video and an opt-in form with some nice graphics on the right hand side. He promises to give me instant free access to a $97 value “CPA Profits Revealed” video and ebook.

For his kind generosity, I have to only enter my email in the opt-in box. I was wondering why this guy wants my email again. He already has it. He has already sent me an invitation to watch his video. Why he wants it again?

Any way I wanted to watch the video. I get very impatient while watching long internet marketing videos. I looked at the length of the video. It was 2:43 minutes. I said to myself, “good, it is short and I can watch it without going crazy.” The guy in a t-shirt announces his name and tells me that Affiliate Jump is my ticket to CPA marketing.

He again reiterated that my ignorance about CPA is good and that only the “big boys” should know about CPA. He will help me, for a monthly fee, put myself in the same league with that small previelged group of people who are destined to know CPA and profit from it.

Ok, it confirmed my earlier belief that there is a membership to Affiliate Jump. You have to pay every month and you will be able to create web sites just by clicking a button. I was intrigued. This the the holy grail of internet marketing. Web sites at the click of a button? These instantly created sites will be designed to promote CPA programs. All you have to do is bring traffic to these sites. It is that simple.

As it peaked my curiosity about the instant website creation, I entered my email and went inside the protected area to watch another video. This is a f*cking long video (44 minutes). I had to fast forward it to skip the craps and see only the part where a website was built just by clicking a button.

What I saw in the video made me fell off my chair. I am may be wrong and if so, please correct me by posting a comment. But this is what I believe is one click site creation solution. You create the site using as a sub-domain in one of their main domains. Your site is a sub-domain of a main domain owned by Affiliate Jump. And the site has a bunch of banners pointing to CPA merchant sites. What a genius idea!

You promote the site and send traffic to it but to create the site and enroll in the CPA program, you pay a monthly subscription fee to Affiliate Jump. Even if you cannot bring in real customers, Affiliate Jump will always make money from your subscription fee. What a wonderful business model.

Now sign up and start making money online.
