Your Questions About Affiliate Program Reviews

Sandra asks…
Did you realize that Musicmasterpro is a total SCAM?
Like many of you, I found the video of that skinny kid shredding Pachelbel’s Canon on youtube, and saw that he claims to have learned to play using musicmasterpro. I have been playing guitar for 10 years and still, I was impressed…so I checked it out. It’s a total scam – people join their affiliate program (search musicmasterpro and affiliates) and make $22 on every sucker they can swindle. Disregard all the good reviews you’ve seen because they were all bought.
Here’s an excerpt from www.musicmasterpro.com/ iaffiliates.html:
A couple power strategies we use to make thousands:
Post in blogs, write reviews and articles and post to ezines:
1) A great idea to get people excited about purchasing my program from you, is to write a review explaining how great my product is. Make sure to include your affiliate hoplink at the bottom, and then post it to review sites like GoArticles.com & EzineArticles.com.
There are more tips, but you get the point.

Online Work at Home Scams
Days – if not years worth of reading.
There are some that pay – but you give out your life for them.
They can pay as much as 10 cents an hour.
This is about $4 a week working full time.
Not quite $20 a month.
Note: It costs more than 10 cents an hour to run a computer.
Better idea: shut the computer off and save money.

Chris asks…
Is Affiliate Junction a scam?
I recently joined this program and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with AJ and whether it was positive or negative for you. The reviews I read online were mixed, but earlier this month the program underwent a complete overhaul. I’m thinking the problems people were experincing with AJ before were due to the fact that AJ isn’t even a year old and they still had some bugs to work out. (I don’t think they were expecting it to get so huge so fast!). Let me know what you think. BTW, my AJ website is www.abundant-wealth.biz if you want to check it out. Cheers!

George asks…
Can anyone give me honest feedback on the P90x program?
Hello, All
Well, a little background first. I’m 44, and currently working on losing weight and getting in shape. In fact I’ve lost about 55 pounds since last November (but probably have another 40 to go)! The loss has slowed recently, though, partly because my family is down to one car, which is keeping me away from the gym. I’m currently using an old bowflex in the garage, gives me a decent muscle workout, but have not been doing much cardio (other than chasing my 3 kids around).
Now the question. A friend from work recommended I look at the P90x program, he said he knew some people who had some success with it. I tried to do some research online, but you know how it is. All the so-called “review” sites are actually affiliates–they tell you how wonderful a product is and then try to sell it to you.
So I’m asking here. Does anyone use the P90x program? What do you like/dislike about it? What have your results been? Do you recommend the program? Any other helpful tips?
I appreciate any info that you can pass along. Thanks a ton!
Peace.

P90x is just a bunch of cardio and light endurance based strength training. It would be very helpful to lose fat if you have a decent diet.

Donna asks…
How do you find clickbanks payment system – do you ever get paid?
I made a sale recently as an affiliate of the ‘clickbank’ system, which for the uninitiated is a site which promotes digital only products (eBooks etc). An affiliate is someone who promotes the goods of others and gets a commission for each sale.
After noticing the sale, I queried clickbanks payment method which i never really looked into when i signed up as I am sure many don’t!
Anyway, this was the reply I received from clickbank.com
“Thank you for your inquiry. You have not been issued a check because your
account has not yet met our “Customer Distribution Requirement”, which states
your account must reflect sales made with 5 or more different credit card
numbers, including at least one Visa card, and one MasterCard in order to be
eligible to receive a check. PayPal and e-check purchases do not count toward
the minimum.
This requirement is in place to help prevent affiliates from abusing the
ClickBank Affiliate Program by using their accounts for the sole purpose of
collecting rebates and/or discounts on their own ClickBank purchases.
Please note that once you have met the Customer Distribution Requirement, the
full balance from your account will be paid on the next check issuing date.
Also, please keep in mind that you only need to meet the Customer Distribution
Requirement one time per account (not per check).
You may review our accounting policies by following the link below:

end message
This reply really shocked me. If I am understanding this correctly, if everyone I sell to chooses to pay by American Express, or any other of the many alternatives to Visa, Mastercard, or they pay via paypal and echeck etc, then I don’t get paid……….ever..Is this correct??
They say they do this to prevent affiliate fraud but why do they need to go to such extremes to prevent affiliate fraud? If the affiliate buys items and keeps them..so what the company made a sale right? But if the affiliate sells, then requests a refund…then yes that is sneaky BUT only if the affiliate got to keep the sales commission after the refund was made, which with clickbank they don’t! The affiliate has the refund deducted from their account…at least this is my understanding.
So why then all these weird ‘exclusions’ as to why you can’t be paid, or paid regularly.
So my question to you as an affiliate for clickbank, is do you ever get paid?

Tom answers:
Well, Visa and Master-card are widely used cards. You will probably find a client eventually.
The fact that they want at least 5 different numbers (Or clients) is not to make sure you are doing it to get a discount. They could simply exclude you from the system. They have your details otherwise you will never get paid.
The biggest reason for doing so is to gain more clients.
Example:
Take 1000 affiliates. Most people signed up in whim. Only half the people will indeed try and sell an item. Then they find out they need to sell 5 items to get paid. Only 1% of these will actually go further and do it (Oh, and that 1% is a very optimistic estimate).
Wanna calculate: 1000 potential sales people, only half stays on.
Got 500 people left. All of them sell 1 item
500 Items SOLD
Only 1% will continue to sell the other 4,
5 people selling in total of 20 items.
520 items SOLD.
They paid only 5 people and each for 5 items.
They have sold 495 items, without paying a single person.
Of course, this company would rather have everyone selling a single item (perhaps 2, 3 or even 4) and then give up. Like you are doing (Or at least sound like you are doing) and they end up selling all products, without paying a single sales agent.
It’s called cutting costs. Drastic times brings the best up in some of us…
