Affiliate Marketing: Using PHP redirects to protect your affiliate commissions

February 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Many affiliates realize how easy it is for their affiliate links to be hijacked by unscrupulous customers, yet fewer affiliates realize how easy it is to protect themselves to a certain extent (no method is foolproof, but at least you are making it less obvious).

My favorite method is by using PHP code to redirect to the merchant page, masking my real code.

Especially now, with the proliferation of reports using the $7 Secrets coding technique of putting your PayPal email address in the URL, you certainly don’t want that address to be showing to the public.

Rather than make this a long post, I’ve set up a web page showing you exactly what you have to do, called “How To Redirect with PHP“.

Protection is the best policy, don’t make your affiliate links too tempting.

Internet Marketing ideas: Save money, earn money, with 5 Bucks a Day

February 18th, 2007 · No Comments

After releasing 5 Bucks a Day in October, 2006, I wasn’t prepared for the success it achieved as far as sales.  The large number of sales, the questions, and comments, all convinced me that I need to start up our membership site and forum.

That came with a cost, as far as the money I was spending to put new reports in there regularly, and the time spent to oversee the forum itself.  The cost required me to increase the price on the book, since the membership site came free to readers.

The problem became that many who could most benefit from reading the book were put off by the new higher price.  Today I’m publicly announcing a new policy.

5 Bucks a Day is now available either with or without membership privileges.  Without, it can be purchased an the unbelievable price of just $7.77 at our new site, 5BucksADayJr.com

Those that purchase the book can upgrade later if they see fit (most will, I’m sure), but in the meantime they can start increasing their income by following the action steps inside the book.  Then, after seeing the results, they can ramp up their efforts by taking advantage of what’s inside the members area.
Additionally, as an added bonus, 5 Bucks a Day, Jr. can be sold by readers, for a 100% commission, this could be the first 5BaD project for many, getting them off to a fast start, and paying for their purchase many times over.

So far, sales have been fairly brisk.  I’m not surprised.
