You found this product you liked that involved a subscription on Clickbank. Clickbank is billing your credit card monthly and you don’t want it any more. You search high and low on Clickbank’s FAQ and other customer service help and come up empty because it’s not there.
I jumped through those hoops today and finally found that there is a way to do it. Armed with your order number “ABCD123F” head over to the Purchase Inquiry form.
Once you enter your details, you will see a drop-down options one of which will allow you to cancel a subscription.
It’s not quite as bad as forced continuity, but I guess it may be possible that they get some subscribers staying on for a month or two because cancellation is somewhat obscure.
This is my unbiased critique of Pawan Agrawal’s recent release of ‘RSS E-mail 2.0′
RSS E-mail 2.0 is a 1-2-3 tutorial kit including 10 “watch-over-my-shoulder” VIDEO presentations on the hottest blogging topic at the moment:
- RSS e-mail subscription management and feed content monetization.
The best thing I like about is the video tutorial format; instead of reading a book, you can download the files on your computer and watch them at your leisure.
You could actually see how these “techie” stuff is done, right in front of you, so you can quickly try the strategy revealed inside yourself [it's quite easy, just follow the walk-throughs].
You’ll be grasping what you need to do in order to manage, monetize and profit from your RSS feed content within minutes, if not seconds…
And once your blog is setup with the right RSS feed settings, you’ll be making money almost on ‘auto-pilot’.
If you always dreamed to get paid without too much effort, then RSS E-mail 2.0 provides you with the ideal solution, although getting rich overnight will definitely not going to happen.
What I like about this “insider” video kit is the “secrets” exposed. For example… did you know you could get a new autoresponder account with AWEBER for just $1.00 [30-day trial]?
Also, do you really know how to setup your first e-mail autoresponder list in 10 minutes or less?
Or, how to create a new blog broadcast so that your subscribers receive free blog updates in their inbox?
RSS E-mail 2.0 explains this and more, walking you bit-by-bit throughout the entire procedure.
I don’t know about you but my Analytics once showed that 85% of my blog readers exit and never return…
But guess what? By adding a simple “form”, I was able to “capture” them, and now I can proudly say more than half of my readers are “returing” visitors.
Would you like to have 50% of your visitors read your post?
Would you like to direct your readers to any part of your blog on complete “auto-pilot” days, weeks and even months in advance?
Just use the power of ‘RSS Email 2.0′, and experience the lifestyle of an A-list blogger
What I don’t like about this product is the low price offer. A more expensive deal would exclude tire kickers; the right information in the wrong hands might do more damage than good! But I guess that’s just me…
It’s in your best interest to put your hands on RSS E-mail 2.0 today if your want to fight poor blog income.
Have you ever signed up for a free trial? of been subscribed to something you can’t cancel?
Like shown here
You can protect yourself and prevent excess charges by something called a “virtual credit card”. It is a system provided by a company you probably never heard of, and likely will never deal with directly! But learn to love Orbiscom, the company behind the technology used by Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Discover, PayPal and others to create a limited account tied to a real credit or debit card.
The one I use the most is from Bank of America, and some of the features may very if you have a different credit card. If you are not in the US, or want to find other banks check out the Orbiscom web site
How it works
In it’s simplest form you go online, log in to your credit card account, and tell the site you want to create a new “Shop Safe” number. (in Bank of America’s case the name for it).
You are presented with a screen that asks you for the amount. It can be $1.00 which comes in handy for those not quite free trials that charge you $1 just to get your card number for the subscription that’s nearly impossible to cancel! Or any amount up to your card limit. And then you are asked to set an expiration date (no earlier than the end of the next month).
You get a 16 digit credit card # like 4425 2000 dddd dddd with an expiration date and a 3 digit CVS number. That virtual credit card can be used anywhere a real card can be used where the physical card is not required. Online or a brick and mortar shop (if you find one that doesn’t require the card to be present. Once the transaction is authorized, the card number is locked to the merchant. If you want to go to another merchant, you need the underlying card or a new virtual card number.
That’s it folks.
Unless
You decide to continue the subscription. In that case you can “edit an existing card” extending the expiration date and or the dollar amount.
One good way to build traffic is through article marketing. A big obstacle to article marketing is the time it takes to research and write the articles.
An easy way to get started is to purchase prewritten articles with private label rights that you can rewrite in order to make them original.
I came across a really reasonable source for articles covering a range of subjects, from Autoresponders to Woodworking. Use this link to check them out.
First a little warning: install any addon at your own risk, and if your browser slows down, freezes or crashes, try disabling your addons one by one and see if that helps!
I personally have no problems with any of these addons but your system configuration surely is different!
My Must Have addons:
1. Roboform $ If you use Roboform, I don’t need to tell you anything more on this. If you don’t use it you don’t know what you are missing out on!
The main feature of Roboform is that it can manage different user names and passwords at hundreds (or thousands) of sites. Another great feature of Roboform is that you can use it to save and fill forms.
You and download it from here and try the limited free version, but to be really useful you need to upgrade to the paid version. If you like you can read more and get it from the publishers website. It’s well worth the price.
2. DownloadHelper: Download and video addons available for Firefox but this is what I have found to be the best. It manages to grab just about any video from any web site, even those that I had problems with when hidden behind “controller.swf” or similar setups.
3. ScribeFire: addon I use for posting to my Wordpress Blogs. ScribeFire is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog. You can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, upload images, and post to multiple blogs.
Pro From Go is a Membership Site that will be launching on March 24th. Chris Vendilli is the principal man behind this software system, however he has collected together a legion of additional experts to produce this software system. The names are gurus and yet they ALL came to the Internet Marketing world as original as you and me and have never experienced the benefit of a program like ‘Pro From Go’.
The important difference with Pro From Go is that it brings lot’s of experts into one place, giving you as a Member a real mixture of styles. Then in a stroke of genius, Chris has mixed up the media for presenting all of this excellent information, with Audio Files, Video Presentation, Computer Screen Capture and Slides.
Pro From Go then plays it’s ace-in-the-hole – Because it is a Membership site, you get to ask questions and interact with other Members. So if you don’t understand something or want to see an example of how to do something, there are lot’s of people to help. This is so refreshing and really sets this program apart from the normal information eBooks that are floating around!
Something that may not be obvious about ‘Pro Fro Go’ is that program really is going to give you all of the data you need and better than that, will help you to build your own IM empire online!
Even the most doubting ought check this out, since there is lots of information regarding the ProFromGo program
Tired of getting sunshine piped up your “you know where”?
You’re not alone. In today’s market, there’s more and more claims being thrown around than baseballs at Spring Training.
Most of these “schemes” have more holes than swiss cheese… but occasionally, I see one that makes me wonder “Why didn’t I think of that”!
One that’s so simple, so easy to implement… one with plenty of proof it works for regular people…
As soon as I saw Joel Peterson’s Mini Site Formula I was skeptical.
I mean, how many angles could there possibly be for making money online? I thought I’d seen them all…
So when I took a look at Joel’s Mini Site Formula, I looked at it with JADED eyes. He really had to convince me this was truly different… that his “proprietary strategy” could be repeated by ordinary Joe’s.
Well, I saw the proof, I saw the “guts” of his system, I saw it took solid principles and tweaked them into something unique…
I mean, how could a guy make as much as $253,741 in a single month without a herd of JV partners driving the numbers?
Well… he does it.
And he has taught others how to pull in some rather impressive numbers… and none of them had “special powers” (One of them is a wheelchair salesman for crying out loud!)
If you can do simple math… you’ll instantly see the brilliance of Joel’s strategy!
And the best part is… you don’t need a heck of a lot of resources to get started. Even if you’ve never made a nickel online, you can be up and running in a week or two – and finally see results on the bottom line. REAL results. Maybe not HUGE results (right away at least) but if you spend a few more weeks working the system… you’ll be on your way.
Look, I could spend several more pages telling you *WHY* you should take a look at the system, but 2 minutes on the site will tell you if it’s right for you… or not.
That’s not much of a time investment, don’t you agree?
1. Vary your web site color scheme to see which converts better. You should also vary the size and style of the text.
2. Promise your prospects an end result or outcome. You have to provide a solid guarantee that you will solve their problem.
3. Never ass u me they will believe the information you present. You must back-up all your claims with indisputable proof.
4. If you are delivering a physical product offer free shipping. If not enough profit, you can offer free shipping over a given amount and raise profit.
5. Test your site often for glitches, broken links, graphics, etc. You need to maintain a very professional appearance.
6. Use free advertising options like banner classifieds, newsgroups, forums and link exchanges.
7. Increase credibility by regularly releasing articles or mailing an e-zine. You will be seen as an expert and build trust.
8. Do not your e-mail collect dust. Reply to everyone promptly. You don’t want to lose an eager prospect by ignoring them.
9. Remember, you can create a professional appearance on a small budget. You could find lots of free graphics, templates, responders, and other tools online.
10. Enter your web site in contests. The contest competition will generate traffic and any award will raise your credibility and professionalism.
A common discussion on the net is “How do I hide my affiliate links to protect them from being hijacked or having my commission stolen?”
There are quite a few easy ways to do it.
Redirection
A very secure way to do it is via redirection. You need to dedicate a domain to do that. I’ll give an example for godaddy using “mythrowaway.info” as the spare domain (We are running a $1.99 first year special on .info domains at http://jiffyhosting.com)
Go to the domain manager in your account a godaddy (or http://jiffyhosting.com where you pay less and I make a few cents).
Select the domain you are using for the forward.
Click on the Forward bar.
Check off enable forwarding.
In the forward to: box fill in your affiliate link e.g.: http://yourclickbankid.target.clickbank.net
Focus the dot on 302 moved temporarily
Click on masking.
In the Masked title box fill in what you want displayed in the url title bar for the user who clicks on your link.
Use the next method to further obfuscate what you are doing.
Set up your outbound link to send your customer to mythrowaway.info
If you don’t want to use the extra domain an easy way that requires your host to allow php (which nearly all do)
Quick and Easy PHP
Works fine alone or use with redirection
1. Create a php file call it something meaningful, I’ll use “shiphimtospend.php” for this example.
2.
3. Upload that file to your website ( I keep all files like that and I have a few in its own subdirectory: /public_html/go )
4. insert the target for the link link on your webpage as <a href=”/go/shiphimtospend.php”>Go here for your deal
5. I have a file here for you if you prefer to cut and paste, use your browser back button to return.
Another choice would be to use http://tinyurl, howeverI have seen a comment or two about people being concerned about clicking on a tinytul link because you do not know where tinyurl is going to send you.
A Final Note And The Most Important
When you are all done setting up whatever your choice is, check it out and make sure it works. If it’s clickbank, follow it through to the payment page and make sure that at the bottom it says “affiliate=yourid”.
