			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Step into my office John. I see from your letter to me that<br />
you are DESPERATE to succeed in this business and have some<br />
questions. I like a man with ambition, so please fire  away&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>John</strong>: &#8220;Yes, first what do you provide me with to get started&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We will give you the essential tools of the trade. Also, a<br />
unique tool we developed just for our people that will give<br />
you a great competitive advantage over all the others in<br />
this field&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>John</strong>: &#8220;Sounds good, but if I need help where can I go ?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a team of top experts, currently 5 strong, at your<br />
disposal&#8221;<br />
<strong><br />
John</strong>: &#8220;So how does that work ? Would it be like a one-hour<br />
slot that I am allocated every Monday say&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No it&#8217;s any time, any day. 24/7&#8243;</p>
<p><strong>John</strong>: &#8220;That&#8217;s remarkable, so what it the limit on the number<br />
of questions I am allowed per week. Three ? Five ?</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no limit.&#8221;<br />
<strong><br />
John</strong>: &#8220;Well I&#8217;m flabbergasted.<br />
But of course now for the biggie. What is the initial and<br />
obviously non-returnable deposit you will need ?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no deposit.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>John</strong>: &#8220;Well this just gets better and better. But of course<br />
I need to sign up for a minimum period. 12 months I guess&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no minimum period and you can cancel at any time.<br />
By the way there are other benefits. For example we&#8217;ll<br />
handsomely reward you for introducing others&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>John</strong>: &#8220;Well how can I say no ?<br />
Give me the pen and I&#8217;ll sign.<br />
Just one more thing &#8211; what is the cost ?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s 33 cents a day&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>John</strong>: &#8220;WHAT ???<br />
Oh my god. I said I was desperate to do well in this<br />
business but not if you are going to charge such<br />
extortionate fees. This visit has been a complete waste of<br />
time.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Which works better &#8211; long sales copy or short ?</p>
<p>This has been one of the most widely debated topics<br />
in Internet marketing &#8211; and I&#8217;ll now add my own<br />
unique view.</p>
<p><strong>Everyone&#8217;s got it wrong !</strong></p>
<p>How come ?</p>
<p>Well suppose your tests show that long copy<br />
outperforms short copy 80% of the time.</p>
<p>Does that mean you should stick to long copy ?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s like telling a grocer he should only sell<br />
green apples instead of red because 80% of customers<br />
prefer green. He still needs to sell both.</p>
<p>So the correct solution is how to present your reader<br />
with a choice of long or short copy.</p>
<p>Now you can&#8217;t know his preference in advance.</p>
<p>And you don&#8217;t want to ask him when he first arrives and<br />
have him click to either of two versions.</p>
<p>Here is the solution.</p>
<p>You provide short copy.</p>
<p>Within the copy you offer the option wherever it is needed<br />
to obtain further information for example<br />
- technical detail<br />
- additional benefits or features<br />
- more incentives to buy</p>
<p>But what you don&#8217;t do is require that the reader has to<br />
click away to another page to see it.</p>
<p>What you do is present it <strong>inline</strong>.</p>
<p>Want to see some examples ?</p>
<p>- look at the hide/unhide button<a href="http://clickbanksuccessforum.com/catalog/index.php" target="_blank"> here</a></p>
<p>- look at &#8220;Yes &#8211; tell me more&#8221;<a href="http://clickbanksuccessforum.com/catalog-affiliates.htm" target="_blank"> here</a></p>

<p>Suppose you stopped trying to &#8217;sell&#8217; things.</p>
<p>In other words instead of telling visitors at your blog or<br />
website or subscribers on your mailing list about the<br />
latest wonder product you instead told them about</p>
<p>* some excellent free resources</p>
<p>* a free ClickBank affiliate program which paid recurring commission</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure they would be delighted, however apart from<br />
goodwill what would YOU gain by this ?</p>
<p>After all</p>
<p>* free resources won&#8217;t earn you anything</p>
<p>* ClickBank is a one-tier affiliate system which means you<br />
earn nothing from recommending a program to other affiliates.</p>
<p>Correct ?</p>
<p>Wrong.</p>
<p>It can be done.</p>
<p>Take a look<a href="http://www.supertips.com/r/catalog-affiliates.htm"> here</a>, in particular the line saying it uses<br />
ClickBank but it does something that ClickBank can&#8217;t do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes &#8211; an opt-in form on your ClickBank thank you page <strong>IS </strong>allowed<br />
providing these other requirements are met:</p>
<p>1. A valid, clearly displayed email address where customers can reach you<br />
if they require technical support for your product, as ClickBank does not<br />
provide technical support.</p>
<p>2. A reminder to the customer that his or her credit card or bank<br />
statement will show a charge by ClickBank or CLKBANK*COM, rather than a<br />
reference to your specific product. This reminder should be prominent, as<br />
customers sometimes request refunds because they forget that ClickBank is<br />
handling the purchase.</p>
<p>3. For a recurring billing product, a restatement of the rebill schedule.</p>
<p>4. Clear instructions on how to download or access the product, or<br />
information on how and when it will be delivered to them.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>By the way I hope you are protecting your thank you page.<br />
Digital theft is a huge problem. See why <a title="Digital theft" href="http://www.supertips.com/cgi-bin/b/t.cgi?ecg1_blog" target="_blank">here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You should never openly use the link that an affiliate program provides for you.</p>
<p>You should link instead to a page on your own site which then leads to the<br />
affiliate program.</p>
<p>The reasons ?</p>
<p>1. On this page you can provide your own introduction to the product or<br />
service you are promoting. This can include, for example:<br />
- additional detail not available in your posting or advert<br />
- your own personal experience<br />
- a review of the benefits</p>
<p>2. You can provide links to the rest of your site in case your visitor is not<br />
interested in that affiliate product.</p>
<p>3. Your own site traffic statistics will indicate the response to your advert in<br />
addition to any stats provided for you by the affiliate company.</p>
<p>4. You can submit the page to search engines.</p>
<p>5. With the real URL visible there is a risk that the reader removes the suffix<br />
(affiliate code) so that you do not get registered as the affiliate.</p>
<p>6. If the affiliate operation becomes discontinued you can inform and divert<br />
visitors at your own website, rather than have them visit a non-existent page.</p>
