As a member of Dr. Ben Adkin's Syndicate Mastermind since its inception, I highly recommend the advice and @$$-kicking he is sure to give you. He preaches and teaches how to become an avid product creator, and walks the talk himself.

Still haven't launched your first WSO? Here's your ticket. Especially if you are one of the lucky ones chosen for the hot seat on any given week.

Here's what it does, in a nutshell...

It makes it possible for affiliates of RAP Bank and Rapid Action Profits products (both of which use the Instant Commissions payment model of rotating sales based on the percentage) to offer bonuses to those who purchased thru their link. And, it does so in an automated fashion, so you don't need to pester the vendor to determine whether a sale that went to them was referred by you.

Using a simple shortcode, namely [aff_bonus], you surround content on a blog post or page, which is only revealed to those who enter their valid PayPal email address from a sale you referred for a specified product. The form itself is generated automatically and can be customized in appearance from the admin area via an intuitive GUI (graphical user interface), complete with a preview.

It's as simple as adding your affiliate links, configuring the colors and fonts, and placing the [scroll] shortcode like so:

• HTML emails and an SMTP mailer

• The ability to have your affiliates direct link thru to the order page
  (bypassing your salespage, while giving them credit for the referral)
• Unlimited equity partners (think multiple authors/interviewees)
• RSS Feeds (I wrote an addon to do this in earlier versions)
• True OTO's (one-time offers)
• Standard legal pages / templates
• And a whole bunch of others I know I'm missing
• Oh! Like the ability to set-up a pre-launch sequence for automated,
  hands-free launches
• Not to mention the instant commissions and secure downloads
  for which it's so famed

That's because the WordPress Comment Footer plugin randomly selects any ad or HTML/Javascript snippet in a list of your creation for display just below the comment section. This is an area of most blogs that goes unused. Get creative with this one. It's not just for ads, you can put a sign-up form or extra encouragement to comment, etc..

And, the Random Ads Widget similarly picks from a list you populated (right from within the WordPress admin!) so as to keep your advertising fresh. Or you could show your favorite quotes or what have you. As of this post, you'll find it over in the sidebar. It also comes with a handy shortcode for placement of random content within your posts or pages.

Head on over and check out the great package deal I set up for you as well as some fascinating statistics about banner blindness and optimal placement, and screenshots of the settings panels.

And as a product creator, I can tell you it applies outside of affiliate marketing too. Take the story of RAP Bank, for example. Read all about it in my first ever guest blog post on Lynn's ClickNewz. Enjoy!

While, I got a lot out of the content, for me it was the mental "you can do it" and fresh perspectives—both in and outside the presentations—that were most needed.

It was great to finally meet so many people with whom I've been working virtually for the past year, in particular Sid Hale of Rapid Action Profits and Lynn Terry of SSWT. And, of course, all the new connections and friendships! These alone made it well worth the 20 hour drive.

Thank you everyone and thank you David for bringing us all together.
