This alerts a network of affiliates to promote your $7 ebook.
Here's the nifty part. The affiliate gets to keep 100% of the $7.00. Your reward is you get buyers email information. This is all kept in a database for easy future access.
To participate as an affiliate, you tack on your PayPal email address to a website address using this concept -- this alerts the system to pay the affiliate an instant commission of $7.00 via their PayPal account.
Here's a demo of how the referral link would look... see how I append my PayPal email address to the website address... try it out... when you get to the PayPal checkout screen, you'll see that payment gets forwarded to my account:
By the way, this isn't a perfect solution. There are a few minor concerns to consider.
First, PayPal didn't like the language used on the original webpage to describe this concept. When this 7dollarsecret first launched, you had to buy the $7 system in order to promote it. That's known as a closed affiliate program -- something PayPal considers MLM... and a big no no with them.
That's not a problem now as you have the option of opening up your system to affiliates without requiring a purchase (something you want to do anyway if your only goal is to get a list developed quickly).
The second problem is if you write a junky report, then you expose your affiliates to offer refund requests. Because it's just $7, you're not going to be issuing many refunds. But the last thing you want to do is tick off your affiliates... so make sure to offer some good tips in your report. Remember, if there's a refund request, your affiliate has to give back the commission. And no one likes to refund their commissions.
As an affiliate, promoting this $7 concept was actually the most profitable affiliate promotion I've ever done. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it....
... I've promoted all sorts of affiliate offering from Commission Junction to expensive Yanik Silver courses to CPA offers, etc. Yet this $7 secret concept put the most zeros in my bank account. And the best part is since you're paid instantly, there's no chasing down commissions (which is a HUGE problem in this business).
This is how you quickly build your list from scratch. (And it's a precisely targeted list because they're BUYERS, not freebie hunters). It's a brilliant concept... one of those, "I wish I though of this first" things.
