Welcome back!

Will you need a NO Phd in “BS” ?

You know, it’s not that long ago that Ron and I walked in your shoes, or some just like them.

You see, we don’t have a Phd in B.S., but what we do have is the sum of all of our successes and  failures, and we are going to share these with you if you are willing to listen, and willing to  learn.

You’ll find no hype, and no empty promises here. Just facts that will educate and motivate. I won’t tell you that it is “my way or the highway”. There are all kinds of excellent marketing methods out there. It will be up to you to decide the means that interests, motivates, and is successful for you.

We won’t leave you high and dry. We know that when you succeed, we succeed.

Each new member to 1stPromotion receives a copy of an “Income Accelerator Guide”, outlining exactly what they can do to promote their business on the web . We also provide you with the same resources that we use!

For a very limited time, we’re including a free copy of our “Idiot’s Guide To Web Marketing” , a HUGE 306-page lexicon ebook on everything you wanted to know about web marketing….and then some!

The “Idiot’s Guide To Web Marketing” sells every day on ClickBank for $47.00, but it is yours free when you join us. This is a great reference for any website owner, not just affiliate marketers.

If you know nothing at all about marketing today, don’t expect to “know it all” tomorrow…

Marketing can be a bit of an elephant to swallow, so keep in mind the old joke…

“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”

If it seems overwhelming, put it down for a while push back from the table and revisit this later. If we can build up anything at all in you, let it be confidence!

You won’t catch me quoting web marketing “gurus” or success phenomenon here. While many of them are great, too many are great in their own minds only. I personally have been burned by too many “experts”, and had my wallet emptied by them more times than I care to mention.

The Internet is a daily learning experience. Even the most savvy of marketers must continue to learn on a daily basis. Happily, I am not savvy. I much prefer to be known as downright unpolished.

Yep, add a little hype and polish and I could retire sooner…. probably much sooner. However, I told my wife Donna not that long ago that “Yes, I want to be rich, but I want to be able to sleep at night too!” The tactics used here are not
“guerilla”, just “learned” common sense.

But wait you say…. you can’t learn common sense, it is just in you! Well, yes, you are right. But given the fact that there is too much hype, and too many claims about miracle products from too many self-proclaimed and virtually unknown gurus” and “marketing gods”, we have been amputated of our ability to use our common sense on the web. So, I like to call it a “learned common sense”.

When you are face-to-face, everyone has a built-in “B.S. filter” that will give off all kinds of warnings to warn you of high-pressure, questionable sales pitches. This BS filter allows you to make informed and knowledgeable purchases or commitments. On the web, though, we are frequently blinded to this “gut feeling”, and can’t use our common sense.

The speed and convenience of catch-phrases like: “Activate Your Account Now”, and “Put your payday on Auto-pilot!” have numbed our common sense’s ability to prevail.

If you could, you’d be hearing warnings going off on a lot of offers. What I mean by “learned” common sense is that I will basically allow you to borrow mine for a while.

Think of me as a B.S. filter for you. No, I won’t make the decisions for you, but I will try to show you the truth in what I have faced so far as far as opportunity on the web. A chance for you to learn from my mistakes.

I much prefer a “belly-to-belly” approach to doing any kind of business, but it is a little tougher when we are talking global neighborhoods. If at any time you feel you need assistance, drop me an email to rick@1stPromotion.com and I will
respond to you. Include your phone number and I’ll call you directly.

Remember what I mentioned about not quoting web marketing “gurus” or success phenomenon’s here? Well, it doesn’t mean I won’t be throwing the odd quote in here and there. Here’s one from a winner pretty much anyone in the world can identify with!

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan

What 1stPromotion Pro Is Not!

Ever try pushing a car with a rope? It just doesn’t work, but try pulling that car with a rope and it is a whole different book of possibilities. I am not saying you can pull it, I don’t know you and I don’t know your motivation.

Ron & I provide great resources and marketing tools with your 1stPromotion membership. We won’t leave you high and dry. As I stated above, we want you to succeed.

With the tools and shown how best to use them makes the whole “making money on the web” idea a lot more possible!

Looking for guarantees?

We have one, and its the best one in the business. 60 days unconditional, and you KEEP the tools, software, ebooks, and everything else. keep the whole lot!

How can we afford to offer such a guarantee? It’s easy. It’s because we have so few refunds! We are going to do out VERY BEST to make sure you are not just HAPPY with our product, we want you to be ELATED! We want you to tell all your friends so they will join us too! Get it? :>)

If you provide people the BEST tools available, you don’t need hype or bonuses. (we still offer bonuses too though!…just cause everyone loves a freebie or two!)

To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,

Rick & Ron Davies

What are Affiliates and Vendors?

I really think you will enjoy the informal, layman’s terms we use. Let’s look at a few definitions;

Let’s start with the term: “vendor“

The dictionary defines a vendor as:

“someone who exchanges goods or services for money. One that sells or vends: a street vendor; a vendor of software products on the Web. Simply put, this is the seller of any number of goods of any possible type. From topsoil to cars, new homes to pets, the person doing the selling is the vendor. Traditionally, he/she is selling goods that they may or may not have produced or manufactured themselves.”

Now let’s look at the term: “affiliate“

The dictionary defines affiliate as:

“anyone that has an agreement with a seller (vendor) to represent (sell) his or her product within the terms that the seller has dictated in exchange for remuneration (payment) of some type, normally a percentage of the sale.”

Got it? Good, because that is the really exciting part of doing business on the web.

There are literally THOUSANDS of companies out there willing to PAY YOU to sell their products and services.

All you do is introduce people to a vendor’s product, and we’ll show you how to do that too!

The rate of commission paid to affiliates varies widely from vendor to vendor. I have seen vendors pay out from 3% all the way up to 75% or even higher.

In my experience, electronically delivered goods (intangible goods) such as ebooks, website memberships, etc., offer substantially higher commissions than hard goods (tangible goods).

This is largely due to the fact that there are lower associated costs with electronically delivered goods. (stores on computer or diskette, endless supply, no additional production costs etc.)

We’ll explain later how ClickBank and 1stPromotion make you an instant affiliate of approximately 5,400 vendors representing approximately 12,000 products!

And YOU can make commissions on ALL of them.

There are many affiliate-vendor opportunities out there through some very well known services. Some such as Commission Junction, Amazon, and 2Checkout deal with a mixed bag of goods, both tangible and intangible.

ClickBank stands alone as the #1 online provider of electronically delivered goods.

They deal solely with electronically deliverable products and services. That’s all they handle.

Nope, you can’t get a birdhouse or a backyard pond kit through ClickBank, but you could order plans on how to make your own.

As a matter of fact, ClickBank currently offers thousands of the hottest-selling products & services and pays each affiliate up to 75% commission on each and every one of them!

Now I know you are thinking, what is ClickBank’s interest in it?

Simple. It’s money.

For every transaction that is performed through ClickBank, they’re paid a percentage or minimum transaction fee. In my mind, it’s well worth the expense. By handling all financial transactions, just think of the headaches they take away from both the vendor and the affiliate.

Did You Know: 1stPromotion is the Perfect Marriage for You as an affiliate.

Just a note to welcome you to the Work from Home with Clickbank mini-series, which continues to be the most read nuts-and-bolts tutorial on making a living from home online using ClickBank.

Over 300,000 subscribers have read the series you are receiving, and many have gone on to build successful businesses online  using the exact methods and tools presented in this series, and just as importantly we are proud to have established excellent friendships and business relationships with a really incredible bunch of people as a result.

Rick and I want you to know that we are very much people-oriented, and worked our way to where we are now in the upper mainstream of ClickBank affiliates from pretty humble beginnings in the Canadian Air Force.

My point here being that we are pretty regular folks, with fairly unremarkable academic backgrounds, yet we have successfully reached the highest level of success in affiliate marketing. There is no reason why you, or anybody else cannot do the same.

The only difference between any two people and where they are in life is KNOWLEDGE and ACTION.

I ask that you tolerate Rick and I plugging our own ClickBank products now and then throughout the series, as if we did not, well, we wouldn’t be very good at this whole thing, and would certainly not be very qualified to teach on the subject, would we?

Whether or not you choose to become involved in any of our ventures, we welcome your comments and questions, and ideas at any time, and will do our very best to address them.

If you don’t know what ClickBank is, or it seems terribly unclear what it means to be an “affiliate”, don’t worry, we will answer all of your questions.

Ron (my brother and business partner) and I prefer to use a  down-to-earth, belly-to-belly business approach, and openly
welcome your emails and comments.

We are accountable, and readily available via telephone, email, or our support system. We have been developing tools to help people just like you to earn a solid affiliate income using ClickBank, SFI, MDI, SiteSell and many more for over 7 years now.

We are proud that we have become well-respected for our ethical business practises, as well as our friendly, honest and easy-going approach, purposefully alienating ourselves from the hype-mongers and “town crier” personalities that seem to be everywhere.

Ron and I would like to make the following commitment to you, should you ever:

1. Need help understanding how to make the most of your web venture;
2. Require assistance in marketing, ad tracking, ad copy, etc.;
3. Feel you have been “left out in the cold” with respect to doing business on the web in ANY capacity;
4. If you find yourself in one of these situations, please drop us a line at rick@1stpromotion.com.

We feel truly privileged to have this opportunity to develop a relationship with you, whether you are a seasoned pro, or this is your first web venture.

If you like, please just drop us a line, say “Hi” and introduce yourself… maybe give us a few lines of what your wishes or goals are, and how you see yourself getting there. Perhaps we can help you “zero-in” on it a little better.

Maybe you have an idea we could develop together?

Ron and I are people oriented, not computer oriented. The Internet is not a stand-alone income solution, but it is a powerful leverage tool when used properly.

Our success depends on your success. We didn’t discover any coveted money-making “secrets”, we didn’t have some sort of marketing “revelation” in a dream…and we didn’t overhear some self-declared marketing genius at a coffee shop…

Ron and I started playing on the web 7 to 8 years ago and our first web site just years ago.

I want you to know that I believe that you can do this too. We are by no means web “weenies”. We don’t do motivational speeches to masses. We learn to earn, and then pass on what we have learned to our members, just like you so can profit too.

Learn from our mistakes and profit from our victories.

The system that we have put in place has all the tools you need to succeed on the web. Believe in you.

We are stuck on the notion that people ALWAYS come first. Before anybody is a “prospect” or a “lead”, as we so often read about, these same “prospects” are PEOPLE!

If you treat PEOPLE with respect, and take time to pass on to them what you know, they will stay with you. Some will become acquaintances, and others long-time friends.

They may not buy anything from you now. That’s fine. They may not buy anything from you ever.

That’s fine too….But they WILL REMEMBER YOU.

Make a favorable, positive impression on them and they WILL refer you to others that may buy from you.

Loyalty is difficult to build in customers, but not so difficult to build in friends that have learned to trust you.

We would like you as our friend and partner first, and if you happen to see the value in what we are doing, then we will already have a sound relationship to build on.

To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,

Ron Davies & Rick Davies
