Return Policy: Extended Timeframe

2008-05-07

“We are making a minor change to our posted return policy effective May 20, 2008. The stated return policy on our web site will change from 8 weeks (56 days) to 60 days. The updated return policy will read as follows:

‘ClickBank will, at its discretion, allow for the return or replacement of any defective product within 60 days from the date of purchase. For recurring billing products, returns for more than one payment may be provided if requested within the standard 60 day return period. After 60 days all sales are final.’

If you want to keep the 8 week return policy wording on your website, you may do so. Please note, however, that we will honor return requests made within 60 days. If you want to post the exact policy that we will have on our order form and web site, you will want to make those changes on May 20th.”

Thoughts?

Clickbank Return Policy Changes Again

I want to pass this on to you because it comes from a marketer that I respect. Yes, there is an affiliate link included. I’ll give you a choice.

Many of you know about eBay. I’ve written a bit about it lately. Did you know eBay has an affiliate program? Well, what I’m about to introduce to you is designed to help you take full advantage of eBay’s affiliate program (eBay Partner Network) and make good money online. Okay?

phpbay Pro

phpBay Pro is the premiere Ebay Affiliate software tool for generating real affiliate marketing income. With phpBay Pro, you can quickly and easily add rich keyword based content to your php driven website or Wordpress blog to compliment your existing content and encourage visitors to impulsively buy products from your site.

phpBay Pro is a powerful tool that easily integrates into your website to allow you to display Ebay auctions on your website. When a user clicks on a product and places a winning bid, you receive a commission from Ebay. Additionally, if a user signs up for a new Ebay account, you receive a bonus! With over 80,000,000 products on Ebay, you can easily add virtually any type of product to your site and start earning revenue today!

This is a brief list (there are more) of some of the software’s features;

• Add keyword rich Ebay items to your php based web site that encourage impulsive buys.
• Add SEO value to your content that can potentially increase search engine rankings.
• List auction items regionally from 14 different countries.
• List items by postal code (zip code) for localized results.
• List items from specific Ebay categories.
• Listings displayed in language and currency of selected country.

The bottom line is you can maximize your blog or web site’s earning potential with Ebay auction listings and earn commissions with each sale!

My affiliate link is at the top of the page and if you really don’t want me to earn a few bucks you can go directly to the features page here.

Check it out, seriously. This is good stuff!

Generosity As Business Strategy

He wrote it to send a thoughtful message to publishers who use Clickbank and its affiliates to earn money online. Besides filling a need or solving a problem for a customer there was something else that Bob referred to that made specific products more successful than others.

Commission Percentages for affiliates. Here is what he found;

Listed below are the average commission percentages for ClickBank accounts with affiliate-referred sales in 2007:

Top 10 selling accounts- 74% commission
Top 100 selling accounts- 69%
Top 1000 selling accounts- 60%
Average for all accounts- 55%

Bob does say that this is not the most important aspect of the success of a product but the numbers don’t lie and are obvious. So, if you’re considering using Clickbank and affiliates to promote and sell what you’re offering, it is certainly something to consider!

Generosity As Business Strategy

CBS to bloggers: Install our widgets, and we’ll split the profits

Oh well…

Caroline McCarthy lets us know that: “CBS Television Stations has launched a new program to get its local news headlines onto blogs and social-media sites.

Called the CBS Local Ad Network, it’s a way for participating region-focused blogs to pull in extra cash by embedding CBS news widgets on their sites and splitting the revenue of accompanying ads with CBS.

Approved sites will be able to choose the content of the CBS headlines displayed (breaking news, sports, politics), as well as select from a number of options to determine, for example, whether they want video content in the widget.”

Lest anyone think there might a a free lunch,

“Bloggers can’t just embed a widget and hope for profits, CBS Television Stations Digital Media Group president Jonathan Leess told CNET News.com. ‘There’s a screening process, obviously,’ he said. ‘We have to figure out or get some visibility into what the content is on that site, and then we screen, but we have a third party (Syndigo Networks) that administers all this for us.’”

So, if you’re interested, visit the Syndigo Networks link for more info.

Wordtracker Enhances Affiliate Program

For you see, Ewen released his latest product recently titled “Super Affiliate Cloning Program“. At first I thought he had teamed up with Dolly the sheep, but no .. this is a brand spanking new affiliate package.

Now I’m going to be honest, I haven’t bought this but can you blame me? Ewens Affiliate Cloning Program costs 1497.00. Crickey.

Let’s dig a little deeper.

Previously

Ewen already has a product available for affiliates titled “Super Affiliate Weapon“, which for the record, I purchased. (Though not at the current advertised price of 9.97..)

Super Affiliate Weapon’s main value was from the eBook, Ultimate Affiliate Marketing, which did open some doors for me .. and taught me a lot. However, there’s nothing in there I couldn’t find already on the Internet but then that’s the thing isn’t it. I paid to have it handed to me.

The Super Affiliate Weapon package came with a million bonuses. All totally and utterly friggen useless. Looked good on the sales pitch, dodgy in real life.

He boasted the following

I’m About To Teach You The Secrets To Making Real Money With Affiliate Marketing, In A Way NO ONE Has Done Before!

Did he do that? Nope!

Super Affiliate Cloning Program

Lets look at what Ewen is offering this time round

“How Can You Learn The Closely Guarded System For Consistent 6… Even 7 Figure Income…Delivered ONE Time Only By The World’s Undisputed #1 Affiliate Marketer…But Only If You Qualify!”

Kinda similar yes?

What I absolutely love with the new sales letter (which has been upgraded!) is the pictures of Ewen in locations like Switzerland and China, claiming that you can visit these places when your rich. There’s a classic picture of Ewen next to a vintage car with the words;

Fancy expensive vintage cars? Buy one for yourself anytime – in CASH!

I’m going to go ahead and pretend I’m a 13 year old MSN messenger addict.

LOL ROFL!

Please please folks, give this a miss and look at the reality. Yes you can be rich by trading online however it is hard work!

Here’s my guide to getting rich on the Internet

1. Create an information product that smack bang is the best thing since sliced cheese.
2. Go buy Jeff Walkers Product Launch Formula.
3. Make millions

There, what are you waiting for?

P.S There are NO affiliate links in this article what-so-ever. Don’t ask me how I did it .. I just did.
