Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0 Review

By Melissa Ingold On August 29, 2009

One of my goals is to increase my affiliate income over the next 6 months, but to be honest; I’ve never really promoted anything from Clickbank except for Jimmy D. Brown’s stuff.

You see, in order to get paid from Clickbank you have to meet their customer distribution requirements first. And since I didn’t actively promote a lot of stuff, it took me quite a while to get my first paycheck .

Yes, I did a happy dance ;-) It took me 9 months to get that. But now that they’ll be cutting me a check every 2 weeks for any earnings I’ve made, I’m feeling a lot more motivated to use Clickbank.

Keep in mind that you can certainly get paid a lot faster than I did just by actively promoting on a regular basis.

So anyway, while I was peeking around the Clickbank marketplace, I came across a product called Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0.

It grabbed my interest from the get go because I already have the desire to increase my affiliate income using Clickbank, and the potential this product has of ramping up my affiliate marketing efforts made buying this product a no-brainer. And you can use it for unlimited clickbank products and put it on unlimited domains too.

How does Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0 help?

Basically it allows you to do 2 things…

1) Offer Bonuses: By offering valuable, and unique, bonuses to those who purchase a product through your affiliate link, you can entice more people to buy. By using Clickbank Bonus Domination you can set up your bonuses, and they’ll automatically send buyers the information they need to claim your bonus, and download it. It a hands-free system for you.

2) Build a Buyer List: Normally, when you recommend a product to someone and they purchase through your affiliate link, well that’s it, you’ve sent those buyers to someone else. But by using Clickbank Bonus Domination and offering a bonus, you are able to add those buyers to YOUR list – and we all know how valuable buyer lists are.

What exactly is Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0?

Clickbank Bonus Domination is a website script that automates the process of sending buyers bonuses, and adding them to your list. The installation instructions are laid out in step-by-step format, and were easy to follow. I’m no techie, but I breezed through the whole installation process.

cb-install

But it also comes with full training that consists of 6 Modules with an optional add-on 7th training module. The training is setup to provide a solid framework for any newbie to mid level marketer, and I was really impressed by how much work the developer put into the training.

It’s incredibly in-depth, clear, and easy to follow, and includes:

  • Getting Started: Everything you need to begin laying the foundation for affiliate marketing.
  • Module 1: Niche Finding and Research Techniques
  • Module 2: Building the Bonus: When to use and how to create high value incentives and bonuses for list building and bonus giveaways. These include copy and paste techniques and over 3 hours of videos.
  • Module 3: Relation management: How to treat your lead and buyer list to produce more commissions. Includes a complete heat map of when to mail and what to say in each email to create a hyper responsive list.
  • Module 4: Traffic and List strategies. Using what you’ve learned in the previous modules you now learn how to grab traffic, build optin pages that convert and use the incentives to build a list.
  • Module 5: The Bonus Delivery System Configuration – learn how to setup the bonus delivery system in under 10 minutes and configure it to build your list, give away your bonuses and run your business on auto pilot.
  • Module 6 (Upsell): Maximizing the Bonus Delivery System – discover how to double and triple commissions using the BDS, how to recapture lost money from refunds and how to effectively cross sell to your buyers.
  • Bonus Delivery System: The automation script that does the following:
    • Automatically emails every buyer that purchases from your Clickbank Affiliate Link
    • Automatically delivers bonuses and verifies receipt before the buyer has access to view or download them.
    • Automatically adds buyers to your own autoresponder list (Supports all major auto responder companies including Aweber, GetResponse, 1Shopping Cart and more)
    • Allows customized emails that will input product name, customer name, receipt information directly from the Clickbank Receipt to offer a personalized email experience for the buyer.
    • Allows for upselling, cross promotion when delivering a bonus. Increasing your commissions!
    • Has a built in HTML/Bonus Page creation tool. Every bonus page is protected from non-buyers and direct hotlinking. The entire system is self content and easy to use.
    • No Real Technical Experience Required. Install and Setup in under 10 minutes.
    • Automatically emails anyone who refunds a products and allows you to recapture lost commissions
    • Bonus Delivery System Add-ons(Upsells): Features that can be added on to the bonus delivery system include:
      • Ad Insertion for every email that is sent out. This allows the affiliate to put another offer infront of the buyer right after they purchase.
      • Qualified Buyers – Begin capturing buyers before a bonus is created, then add a bonus and find every buyer that qualified for that bonuses and send them an email to claim it.
      • Advanced Reporting: Discover your most profitable bonus offers, how many bonuses have been claimed, last Bonus Delivery System logins and all Clickbank Transactions.
    • Who is Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0 not for?

      This website script and training is not for you if you aren’t serious about affiliate marketing. It is also not for you if you don’t plan on setting up bonuses, or building your mailing list when you promote affiliate programs, or if you’re happy with your current affiliate income.

      Who is Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0 for?

      This website script and training is perfect for those who are ready to create bigger affiliate paydays by giving buyers an incentive to buy with their link, and building lists of buyers to promote to in the future.

      It is for anyone who wants to promote Clickbank products, and get the highest return for their investment of time in the form of large bi-weekly checks.

      Now there was one thing that I didn’t really like about the order process. While multitasking, I clicked the wrong tab to close (which was the sales letter for this product) and a box popped up and one of those virtual agents offering me the chance to get in on a special offer. It said I would save $20, so I thought, wow – he’s going discount the already crazy low price by $20 bucks – I’m in!

      But when I did, it took me to a page that offered some extras – but it was at a higher price point than the product being sold on the main sales page. So that kind of threw me for a loop. But you don’t need the add-ons because the standard product is chock full, and carries the low price tag of just $47.

      cb-members

      But in the end I am so glad I bought this product because it really exceeded my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by how much time and effort the developer put into making this system usable so that you do take action and use it.

      If you’re ready to get serious about affiliate marketing and take your passive income to the next level, click here to get started. You’ll receive immediate access, and can get the script installed and your first bonus set up today.

      Warmly,
      melissa-sig

      P.S. I found Clickbank Bonus Domination 2.0 very easy to install and use, the manuals and videos are chock full of information, examples, and resources. Even if you’re a complete newbie, you can do this if you know how to follow simple step-by-step instructions. Click here to get started and I’ll give you a copy of the Affiliate Marketing Sweetie self-study course absolutely FREE that you can download right away – any time of the day or night.

Opportunity.com – ACE The Affiliate Commission Engine, He’s Cute But…

By Alice Seba On April 28, 2009

….how’s the content?

(Side note to my friend “CH”…I meant ACE is cute, wasn’t referring to John Reese in this case. :-) )

ace

I finally had a chance to check out John Reese’s latest video for his upcoming Opportunity.com project. It’s actually a very cool video and gives affiliate marketers a little blueprint for making affiliate commissions. What’s really nice about is that it’s simple (and I assume that will have some critics screaming that it’s basic info) and can certainly give those struggling some good direction to go in.

Part of the tips include advice on handling an affiliate autoresponder sequence and since I am coincidentally updating all my autoresponders, I’ll be working in his idea of re-ordering some of my messages.

Overall, it’s worth a watch, as long as you don’t mind giving up your email address in the process (and yes, you’ll have to confirm your email address before you get to watch). Well, it’s better than giving up your first born. :-)

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 4

By Sweetie Staff On March 12, 2009

NOTE: The following is a guest post from one of our favorite internet marketing mentors.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 4

By Jimmy D. Brown of Affiliatenaire

I’m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who
have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their
online businesses. What you may not be aware of is the
amount of work involved in generating those “sales” (not
always net profit, mind you … this isn’t “spendable”
income in a lot of cases.)

That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to manage an entire business **

While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business
with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other
associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.

Imagine…

* Processing refunds
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM
* Managing day-to-day operations
* Overseeing projects you’ve outsourced
* Recruting new affiliates
* Training everyone to help you
* Paying taxes
* Taking care of the paper trail
* Doing all of the “stuff” that business owners do.

Didn’t you want to start an internet business to make
more time for important things in life?

Why not make a lot of money WITHOUT making a lot of extra
work for yourself?!

It can be a lot of extra work and stress. BUT, with
affiliate marketing, you don’t need to manage an entire
business! You are simply responsible for promoting your
affiliate link… someone else handles all the rest.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to manage an entire business.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 3

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 3

By Jimmy D. Brown of Affiliatenaire

Some people have the ability to persuade others and talk
them into just about anything. Especially when it comes
to influencing their buying decisions. They know how to
push the right hot buttons, say things the right way and
generally get consumers into an emotional frenzy to the
point they are ready to click an order button.

There are two key words in that paragraph that really need
to stand out in your mind: “some people”.

Not everyone has this ability. In fact, only a few do.

That brings me to the third reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to write a world class salesletter**

Have you ever tried to write a salesletter? There’s a
reason why professional copywriters charge up to $10,000
(and sometimes even more) for a SINGLE salesletter. It
takes a lot of experience and skill to write a top-gun
salesletter, which is why most people have a hard time
convincing people to buy if they do create their own
products and website.

They simply don’t have the right salesletter in place
to make it all work. Without good copy, it really doesn’t
matter how spectacular the offer is, you’re simply not
going to get many sales.

SIDEBAR: The average conversion rate of site visitors
who become buyers is reportedly less than 2%. That
means 98 out of every 100 do NOT buy. That’s why
sales are so incredibly bad for a poor site … you
*might* get 2 sales out of every 300-400 visitors.

BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to write a
salesletter! You simply direct people to someone else’s
high-octane salesletter for THEM to convert your leads
into commissionable sales.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to write a world class salesletter.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2

By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Pop quiz time. What does “HTML” stand for? Don’t know
that one? How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK,
one more chance. Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building
a website!

* What in the world is HTML? Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost? And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult
(even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.
And hiring a professional to do it fo ryou is out of the
budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a
website. You simply send visitors to someone else’s
professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR: Just in case you’re interested, HTML stands
for “hypertext markup language” and is the coding
used to build webpages. FTP stands for “file transfer
protocol” and is the process used for moving files
from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take
advantage of the time and money invested by someone else
to develop the site. Think about it: when you promote an
affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU. You are the
one who is advertising the link, recommending the product,
sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents
you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked
through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to build a website.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1

NOTE: The following is a guest post from one of our favorite internet marketing mentors.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1

By Jimmy D. Brown of Affiliatenaire

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product
to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to
be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give
when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.
I’m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come
up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products.
You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful
offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have
lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out…

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don’t know everything! Why try
to create a product on every topic imaginable in your
market when you can earn just as much money by simply
promoting someone else’s really good offer as one of your
profit streams?

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to create your own products.

MYTH: Asking for a Review Copy is Best for Affiliates

By Alice Seba On November 24, 2008
Alice Seba

Myth Crusher MondayOne and effective way to review products before promoting them as an affiliate is to ask for a review copy. After all, you want to ensure a product is good before you spread the word, right?

But have you considered that the customer experience goes beyond the actual product. There’s everything from the order process, delivery of product, customer care and attention after the purchase…and those things are often just as important as the product itself. If you only see the product, you haven’t seen everything your referrals will see.

Although it’s not likely feasible for each and every product, the only way you’ll get the full true picture is by being a customer yourself. Sure it costs money, but a few sales often recoup that. And if you find out customer service is not up to snuff, you’ve saved yourself an embarrassing situation.

If you can’t buy every product, but are able to secure a review copy, ask if you can be placed on the customer list so you can see the follow up. Also, ask questions of the support department if needed. That will help you get a better picture in the cases where you aren’t actually purchasing the product.
