Strategic Marketing At Warp Speed

If you have been one to make the rounds to the different marketing blogs then you will have no doubt seen that Unique Blog Designs has been hard at work for other bloggers. Today (March 17th) UBD has launched an affiliate marketing product for WordPress that will blow your mind!

This product is for Affiliate Marketers and more specifically for those affiliate marketers that like to use wordpress for LPs and Review style LPs. Take a look at their promo video:

Is that not the koolest WordPress tool you have ever seen! Now don’t get me wrong… This isn’t for those affiliates that can make their own pages and designs. If you can do it on your own then I suggest you do it on your own. But everyday I get asked from affiliates who they can out source design and coding too. A lot of the readers here are new to affiliate marketing and don’t know how to layout div tags or even basic HTML. This tool will solve that problem.

Here is a screen shot of my favorite part of this tool:

Do you see that? You have complete control over the layout! Complete control over how your review site will look!

Now if you ask me I would suggest getting the middle package. That way you have a license to use this on multiple domains. If however, you aren’t comfortable messing with html and designs then go with the largest package. There are over 30+ designs filled with a whole slew of layouts for review style landing pages. The only thing you have to do is configure the look by selecting drop down boxes and then add your content!

If you are out the the CPA sphere then this really won’t matter to you. Recently (yesterday March 2nd) C2M announced some major updates to the way that they will be running their business. Because of this, I was flooded with questions from about 20 different C2M pubs and other bloggers. Why they sent me their questions is beyond me. Maybe it is because Ruck and I are good friends. Anyways, here are my thoughts on the situation.

GOOD FOR C2M. That’s business people… Get over it.

If you haven’t heard about the announcement you can see it on C2M’s forum by Clicking Here. One of the biggest complaints and concerns that people are having is in regards to the now 2% referral commission.

Previously C2M had 5% referral commission. By lowering this commission they have added a rewards program. Now this rewards program only gives back 1% of what the pub makes. So lets do the math (cause some people don’t know how to do this properly). 1% commission goes back to pub if bench marks are met. 2% goes to referrer. That leave 2% (or a little more) going into C2M.

Now, this I’m okay with. And let me tell you why. I would venture to say I am C2Ms biggest referrer. I have around 200 people signed up under me. January was a HUGE month with everyone pushing Acai Berry and starting up those Grant offers. So was I sad when C2M made this announcement? No… not really. Infact I was happy for them. You guys have to remember, this is a business. We are all here to run a business. If you base your income off of one source then you are going to be sorry when that source dries up.

So my buddy Wes from Tracking202Pro asked me in ASW if I would start a meetup group and become apart of his Meetup202 movement. I had already considered it and finally decided to do it. If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and would like to get to network with Super Affiliates, up and coming affiliates or complete new to affiliate and internet marketing. Check out our first Meetup that is scheduled this coming saturday at none other than Fuddruckers!
