Affiliate Consulting: Phase 2
Some quick news for everyone. I’m now in phase 2 of my affiliate consulting service. Phase 1 consisted of trying to find the best price to offer to affiliates from a consulting stand point of what works and what doesn’t work. I’m so anti-ebooks because the information is too broad, and too general for anyone to do well and recoup their costs from the service/product. Generally, if the customer doesn’t file for a return, then they are left fairly unsatisfied. I’d like to change all of that and use this as an opportunity to truly help webmasters. As many of you know, my time is quite limited, and I’m pretty much doing this so that I can help SOME people who are quite serious about increasing their revenue and traffic, and just plain tired of falling for all of those “look at me, I’m so rich and you’re not” approaches.
Alright, so back on topic..
My design is just about ready (thanks to the awesome designers over at - Professional Designers). I’ve also decided on a price, it’s a bit higher than I originally hoped (original was at $300, currently it is $500) to launch at, but I think it weeds out those who are truly ready to change their income and traffic situations, or those who need guidance in creating a site that can earn them a healthy income. All of my consulting work is 100% tailored for the client’s needs, there is no cookie cutter bullshit here. No generalizations. No on size fits all. All advice will be drafted based on the client’s needs. This is more of a teaching/hand holding process to teach people what to do, and what not to do.
I do plan on having an affiliate program, but it will be by invitation only. I do not want everyone and their mother spamming out my services, because quite frankly, I don’t know if I can even service more than 10 clients a month. I will be taking pre-orders once the site launches, and it will be based on a first come, first serve basis. I won’t reveal commission information just yet, but my affiliates will have a chance to earn a generous percentage from each referral, plus a chance to win a free consulting block from me each month.
So if you know some serious webmasters, who are sick and tired of reading forums, blogs, and buying useless ebooks, and want direct help from a teacher-student approach, then your best bet is to email me directly, and tell me why you think you’d make a good affiliate for my program.
I’m only interested in filling 25 affiliate slots, so don’t wait too long. Also, all clients will be invited into the affiliate program, and will be given a different commission tier, seperate from the primary affiliates. I know it sounds strange, but I’d like to assume as much control over my consulting firm, my clients, and my affiliates as possible, so that nothing gets whored out.
Just a reminder, this isn’t for everyone. I do plan on having a much cheaper option for everyone, but have no idea when that will launch. Don’t feel ashamed if you don’t have $500 to spend on this. You can still ask questions in my radio question blog post and I will try and answer everything on my upcoming radio show. Just be realistic and patient.
That’s all for now.. I still have some of the worst tree pollen allergies ever, so I’m waiting until my voice is back to normal before I start with any of the radio shows. My doctor says it shouldn’t be very long now until they pass, so keep checking back and see if anything has been launched. And to those who’ve asked, all of the radio shows will be streamed via a flash player on this blog and the mp3’s will be hosted by me for everyone to listen to 24/7 wherever you may be in case you’ve missed the live broadcasts.
Okay, I think I covered all of the recent updates. Thanks for reading, and keep pluggin away at your projects!
500USD, it’s probably worth every penny but I think there are lots of webmasters who are already anxious about spending 300. 500 means I’ll have to not buy college books or something :p
Hmm, 500 USD, that’s like working at a supermaket store for 2 months for me, but then again it’s just me :P. You said that you earned around 100k a month from CJ? If i remember right and my maths is pretty strong so $500 = 4 hours of work. Is that how long your going to spend with the client, if more weren’t you better off before (i’m not sure if this 100k you earned per month was the network you sold, i have memory problems
) Your 4 hours is the same as 2 months for me WOW!!!
he makes waay more than 100k a month
I’d be seriously interested in this.
Could you say a little more about what we would get for $500? A review of current sites, and how to improve? Also what form would it take? A written guide? A phone call? I’m in the UK, if it makes a difference.
$500 is roughly a couple of months website earnings for me. I seriously want to go about increasing this as effectively as possible, so have no problem about paying $500, I would hope it would help and inspire me to earn 10x this amount per month.
If you can afford it, great, come on board.. If you need to save for it, then it may not be the best option for you anyway. You can still learn a hell of a lot from the blog and the upcoming radio shows.
Ok, cool - I gather from your post there will be a dedicated site appearing for the service soon. I guess that will have more details. I shall check it out as soon as it is ready, and maybe be your first customer
Chris-
Yes.. there will be a dedicated website explaining everything. Sorry, but I’ve already got slots reserved so you can’t be my first customer, but if you check out the new consulting pricing structure, you can reserve something by emailing me directly.
Ok, have now seen your new post and have emailed you at the address on the ‘About Jon’ page.
