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.

Want to see it in action? Here's a little taste...

First, hover over this link and note where it's going.

Now, head back up to the URL and tack on a ?ref=id
where id is your ClickBank affiliate id.

Look at the link again. Notice anything different?

In case you missed it, the actual link in the post changed on-the-fly! Here's what it is in plain text -> http://netkicksta.fapturbo.hop.clickbank.net/ <- This too will update based on the ref URL parameter.

Note: Just because I'm using a ClickBank affiliate link in this example does not mean it's CB-specific. It isn't. You choose the URL parameter names and what you do with them.

OK, allow me to make that last point more clear with another example. How about this? Assuming you still have the ?ref=whatever from the first, now tack on an &n=YourName in the URL for this post and watch the area below...

The two main components are a certified Rapid Action Profits addon and a WordPress plugin allowing for communication and integration between the platforms. Users are added to your blog and granted access to content depending on the length of time since their purchases.

And those bonuses I mentioned? If you're an affiliate for another RAP and Rapid Action Press owner, you can have your bonuses automatically delivered on your blog. Only a user who's purchased through your link will see it, and you can even hold it off for 30 days to, say, get past the refund or first rebill date. No more asking for receipts via email.

This thing is beautiful and easy too. Head on over and check out the features and benefits, the demo video, the screenshots, the testimonials...

Yeah, I'm psyched! There's a lot of hard work, late nights, sweat and tears invested in this Kunaki CD/DVD Fulfillment Addon. I know both Bill and I will certainly be using it ourselves too.

 
Aside from the steep bargain basement price cut ($50 off!) on RAP itself, if you're already a Rapid Action Profits owner, you'll find plenty to get excited about too — 25% off most addons (yes, even the membership add-on), a template pack, videos, and more.

 
And, if you're brand new to RAP or you've been sitting on the fence, now's the time to come off the perch. Yes, the grass really is greener on this side.

Need more convincing? Buy through either of the links above, send me your receipt, and I'll hook you up with any of my $17 or less add-ons (you pick the one).

Here's the full list of my RAP Addons.

Anyway, long story short, I started writing something specifically for this one, as I really enjoy Twitter (when I have the time). Alas, the weight of several other projects had me running up against the deadline. So, as something of a compromise, I dug through my hard drive for Twitter-related products, ostensibly hoarded for potential sale. Instead, today, it's yours FREE, no opt-in required.
It's geared toward the beginner with tips on Twitter etiquette, etc., and discusses how to use Twitter to get traffic to your blog. I hope it proves of value to you! [Click the image to download -->]

It's interesting to see a few enterprising individuals are riding this wave to good effect by compiling lists of such programs and selling them anywhere from $7 on up to $17. I have to laugh, because there's a real easy way to discover these programs...

A couple powerful searches is all it takes:

• Google Search #1
• Google Search #2

And here's another resource worth perusing:

• The RAP Mall

I like to say, the complete membership solution for RAP just got "completier" — the whole kit... "kaboodlier."

Where the membership addon can hide an entire WordPress installation out of site, the RAP Member WP Plugin fine tunes it, enabling you to cordon off individual posts and pages and even content *within* them, both by membership level and days onboard.

You'll have a micro-continuity site up in no time.

He informed me the regular price of Rapid Action Profits had just gone up and my coupon code was now good for $70 off on the new version 3.1!

And, I learned another little secret too. Shhhh... The RAP Membership Bundle is also on sale at a $50 discount.

Sid Hale revealed some of the new features, and they're all imminently useful, so there's no sense in waiting. That and much of my development work is closely tied in (addons, etc.), so it's important for me to always be right there on the latest version.

Some of the enhancements from 3.0.3 to 3.1 include,

• Zero dollar coupon codes (now you can make any paid product into a limited-time giveaway at a moment's notice)

• PayPal checkout customization lets you display your company or even product-specific header graphic on the payment page, as well as colors and certain text
• Improved security and fraud protection
• And lots more, including imports, backups, user interface upgrades, and other geeky internals stuff.

Oh, and get a load of this, remember my post about the new scrnch.me service? Well, it's been ingeniously incorporated into the affiliate tools page to automatically provide them with a cloaked promotion URL.

All of which is exciting news to existing owners. Here's some for you, if you act fast:
