Anyone got paid from Arbitrage Conspiracy ?

[Mike Merz]

Just took Brad's number and email out of Roberto's post ... don't like to have info like that posted on the forum without the owner's permission.

I touched base with StomperNet AM, Tom Ham ... assuming he'd mention it to Brad, which it seems may have been accomplished, who knows.

So ... as Markus queried, Roberto ... did you receive your affiliate check?

Best,

Mike

Even more interesting is why hasn't this payment announcement been posted at the official Arbitrage Conspiracy blog:

Thanks Mike,

I posted this last night and after removing most of Brad's personal contact info i guess that one slipped by.
I am sorry for that mistake.

To Markus

No I have not received payment yet

As i mention in the post, I got contacted by the Arbitrage Conspiracy support (after much inquiry) with the letter that Brad sent with a first round of payment (I guess they pay in rounds).

I guess they sent me the letter to explain whats going on behind the scene.

I posted the letter here for those that don't know whats going on and are afraid they wont get paid.

I see. So I'm assuming you've submitted a lot of trouble tickets -- and your squeaky wheel is getting a few drops of grease.

This sounds like a very too familiar delay tactic. Again, isn't it curious why this isn't posted at the AC JV blog?

I'm reading other forums and many, many AC members are requesting refunds.

And none of the JV partners are touching this with a 1,000 yard pole at these same forums. They've literally vanished.

I'll make you a friendly wager... you won't see that check this month -- and that sucks. Please report back here when you do.

When I was pimping affiliate products, only two companies paid the commissions to me on time out of over 200. Amazing.

My affiliate program pays today's commissions tomorrow via PayPal. You never, ever have to wonder about payment.

[Roberto Efflandrin]

I can understand The delay in such a big launch., with lots of affiliates to pay big money to.

It is not an excuse though not to pay affiliates on time.

I guess this is one of the disadvanages of private affiliate programs as opposed to market places like clickbank and co.

So Markus, you pay your affiliates immediately?

How do you handle refunds?

It sure is hard to collect money back form your affiliate to cover refunds once paid.

Great questions, Rob.

I haven't had a refund request since I switched to paying today's commissions the next day (I think I switched to this payment structure over a year ago).

It's probably because I'm a bit careful choosing affiliates (it's a closed program).

And it helps to have solid information... I don't hype at all. I deliver as promised -- instantly.

Let me show by example. This is a bonus I'm about to offer for my members. I just uploaded it and haven't password protected it (will do so next week so hurry if you want to see it free):

Remember, this is just a bonus.

Can you see why I don't have refund issues?

[Roberto Efflandrin]

Wow,

Thanks for letting me see this stuff.

That's one hell of a bonus.

I have saved it in my projects folder.

It' been great discussing with you on the forum.

We will sure do business soon.

Have a great day Markus.

[Mike Merz]

Thanks for helping out, Markus ... your experience and generosity is much appreciated.

But ...

Vignesh? Roberto? ... have you finally received either payment or at least a reply?

Concerned,

Mike

[Roberto Efflandrin]

Hello Mike, i've just received a check from Brad fallon.

I guess it took some time for us International affiliates to receive the check in the mail, Hence the delay.

For me, it takes about 15 days to get a US check.

Hope next payment will be through paypal.

Rob

[Mike Merz]

That's good to hear, Roberto.

I just hope that next time they're courteous enough to keep partners in the know on a consistent basis. Too many merchants treat affiliate compensation notifications and deadlines as less than high priority ... and that's a very big mistake.

Best,

Mike
