It’s Not A Scam! Do I Sell It?
There are a lot of great products on the web, and not everything is a scam. So, when you come upon something you’ve determined is legal, do you sell it?
I’m going to repeat myself here – there are a lot of great products on the web.
I have something else I promote way on the other side of the universe. Someone emailed me from my list with that product asking for information on becoming an affiliate. Typically, I wouldn’t want to share that kind of information. It is a business and all. But I knew if they were asking me for information, chances were that this person really had not done much marketing. Internet marketers know some clever little tricks to find out how to get into programs that aren’t so obvious.
I had nothing to lose, and actually a second tier to gain in commissions. I actually had more information than most about the product and different options or ways to sell it. I decided to help. First, I was going to need some information on the person I was helping. I needed to know what kind of business model they had in mind. What methods they were going to try in the promotion of this product.
I emailed back and asked what they had promoted in the past. I was directed to a web site and service I had not seen before. Immediately, the detective magnifying glass came out.
The affiliate of this program has assured me this was a reputable company, yet their website was less than a year old. There were virtually no backlinks going to the site. There was some other things I really didn’t care for either.
I pretended to sign up to see the path one is taken through to participate in the program. A charge of $60.00 and monthly charge after that of $30.00. A pre determined web host that was mandatory – and at some point in the game the affiliate was going to have to give out their passwords and access to that host.
These were all huge red flags. I was just about to stop when I came across some verifible information from other affiliates who were actually doing ok with the program. I also came across words from the actual producer of the product who willingly gave out an email, phone number, and was sincere in attempts to promote this program.
In the end, I determined it was not a scam. So the next question was should this person I was trying to help be selling it? I didn’t want to make up their mind for them, but for me in the end this was not a product I would sell. Why? The work needed to be “seen” was going to be tremendous. The majority of affiliates who were making money on this program seemed to be doing it all with the help of ppc.
While it is possible my new friend could sell this and make it work, it was going to require a trememdous amount of work before they would see a profit. There was a huge learning curve they needed to consider.
I think it’s better to approach something a bit easier and work your way up as to not get discouraged.
There is enough t learn when you are first starting out and the easiest way is to start by promoting something you know. Find a product or service you know like the back of your hand and actually use.

The Google Nemesis – I Have You Beat with Customer Review Videos!
I must have had 2 million emails in my inbox about Chris Mc Neeny’s Google Nemesis.
As I have mentioned in the past, I am signed up to a lot of lists – primarily to keep on the buzz of what is going on. Everyone had a promotion better than the last – and everyone wanted me to join through their link. Offers for packages worth thousands of dollars were flooding in my mailbox.
In one of my first posts on this blog, I share the actual source I used to make the money with Kimkins. Affiliate Project X. That ebook is what put Chris on the map. I was very new to IM when I bought it, and had no idea of what to do with those advanced techniques and how to get the most out of it. I was a newbie – or as I like to call it a rookie to internet marketing. Still, I managed to pick up a couple of the tricks, apply them, and make some serious cash in a short period. Yet – it was all with the help of Google adwords – which seems to be Chris’s preferred method of getting the word out quickly.
I have nothing against adwords, but it can be quite costly – especially if you don’t know what you are doing and how to get the most bang for your buck.
What is Google Nemesis?
Google Nemesis is basically a membership site that helps you quickly assemble a review page for clickbank products. If your copy is prepared, you can literally have a page up in just minutes. It takes all the programming and web formatting out of the equasion, and gives the user the ability to choose which items they want to promote and how they would like to review them.
But Wait! What is Customer Review Videos?
CRV is also a review site, which helps you quickly assemble a review page, but here is the kicker. With Customer Review Videos you can get a basic silver membership AT NO COST, you are NOT LIMITED TO JUST CLICKBANK products, you can use FREE VIDEO REVIEWS to promote your products, and you can MAKE MONEY ALSO WITH EBAY, AMAZON, and ADSENSE. You can also start your listbuilding easily with the paid membership and review many more products with the VIDEO NICHE SITE. And, if that is not enough, the social bookmarkers are built into the page. You can sell PHYSICAL PRODUCTS or DIGITAL.
Ok, So the PRICE must be Huge for this, Right?
While Google Nemesis is priced at $67 a month, you can get the simple Silver Membership to CRV for FREE and you can get the upgraded version for less than $50.00 a month with MY COUPON.
Everyone LOVES VIDEO!
You can read reviews for products up the wazoo. But honestly, I prefer to see people who have used a product and know they are not just sock puppets feeding off of information scraped off the web – and really having no clue if what they are promoting is any good. I have used CRV, I am a Platinum Member, and use of the site has shown me how easy it is to Make Money With Video all WITHOUT ADSENSE.
CRV shows you how to leverage OPE (other peoples efforts) to make money. Easy video tutorials will show you how to set up the system.
I don’t know what else to say. No hype here – just my honest humble opinion.
There is no risk. Sign up for free today and check it out.
I love the other product Chris has, but if you are new to IM, I can assure you that CRV is a much better value and video is the future of the web.
