WARNING:
Do
NOT Promote Any Guitar Related Affiliate or Associate Program
Unless It Meets The Following Criteria!
Dear Friend,
Are you the webmaster of a guitar
or music related web site? Are you looking for
a very profitable affiliate program or associate program to promote
so that you can make some extra money from your web site? If you
are, may I suggest that you ask yourself the following questions
before choosing any program to promote?
1) Does the affiliate program track sales and orders
using a single "session cookie" or a 10-year cookie?
Why are cookies so important? Let's make an example.
Let's pretend that you promote Clickbank products and you get
a commission at the time of sale, but as I read the web site it
appears they don't set cookies, so if someone buys 7 months later
you don't get a commission.
A lot of affiliate and associate programs use what
are called "session cookies" which means you only get
paid if the person buys within 24 hours of clicking on your link.
Worse than that, with some programs you only get paid if they
order via your link immediately when they go to the web site.
What this means to you is, you've spent all this time, energy,
effort, trouble, cost and expense promoting to search engines,
building a link, getting traffic, opt-ins and clicks and in the
end you're left screwed with the short end of the stick. What
kind of a feeling is that?
That's why we set 10-year cookies. So, we can track
sales literally up to 10 years from the time the person clicks
on your affiliate link, limited of course by the technical aspects
of cookies. But it's one heck of a lot better system than only
paying you if someone buys within a 12 or 24-hour period.

2) Does the affiliate program follow up with additional
products or services to your buyers AND pay you commissions on
those follow up sales?
Did you know that with a lot of programs you don't
make any money on the follow up sales to your buyers? You get
zero. Nada. Zilch. In other words, you spend all your money and
all your time getting someone to buy their products to get a 1
time 50% commission and the affiliate program owner promotes the
heck out of that new buyer and get them to buy all kinds of other
stuff and you don't even get a thank you, let alone a check in
the mail.
With our affiliate program we follow up with YOUR
buyers with several different products and services that you can
earn commissions on.
What this means to you is, you can get a buyer one
time and make additional commissions by doing nothing because
we follow up, we pay for the auto responders, we write the emails,
we handle the live chat calls, we return emails and we make the
sales and YOU get the commission.

3) Are the affiliate or associate program products
targeted for the guitar?
Many guitar web site owners fall into a trap of
promoting programs and services that have nothing
or very little to do with the guitar. In other words, they are
pushing products that their visitor has absolutely no interest
in. What happens is that the web site owner ends up not earning
many commissions because their visitors are guitar players interested
in guitar related products.
Don't let this happen to you! We
actively seeks out and promotes products targeted for guitar players
of all types and skill levels. If your web site is targeted to
guitar players then it only makes sense to promote our products.

4) Does your affiliate or associate program promote
an endless stream of other peoples affiliate or associate program
products to YOUR buyers and pay you nothing?
Did you know that a lot of affiliate or associate
program owners pay you a 1 time commission and then sell an endless
supply of other people's affiliate or associate program products
to the customer or buyer you brought to their site, and you don't
get commission on those sales?
Now I am not saying that I don't occasionally promote
one of my friend's products or services, because quite frankly,
I do, but it's sure as heck nothing remotely resembling a non-stop
barrage. I spend the vast majority of my time attention and effort
promoting my own products to my own customers so that I can pay
my affiliates commission on those sales, because that's what they
deserve.
Of course a lot of affiliate program owners can't
do this. Why? Because they only have 1 product to begin with so
they have no choice. They have bills to pay and mouths to feed
so they have to promote other people's products or services and
you're left with a check not even big enough to buy a latte at
Starbucks.
Are you beginning to get a picture here?
I have full time staff that helps me create new
products. We have a growing product list that we pay commissions
on and those commissions go right into your pocket. Plus, we do
the follow up for you. And we use 10-year cookies to do our best
to make sure you get paid on sales down the line.

5) Does the affiliate or associate program offer
a two tier commission structure?
Most programs pay commissions only on sales from
visitors directly sent by you, but with our special two tier system
you can earn additional commissions from visitors that you never
even sent!
All you have to do is introduce other people
like yourself to our affiliate program. When they become
an affiliate themselves, you'll also earn an extra 15%
referral fee on each and every sale that they make. And
there's no limit to the number of sub-affiliates you can have.
This aspect of our affiliate program greatly increases
your chances of make big money. We can't tell you how much money
you will make ... but imagine if you generate just one sale per
day -- and then you introduced 10 other people to the affiliate
program who did the same. Imagine if you introduced 100 people
to the affiliate program. The sky is the limit.
6) Does the affiliate or associate program offer
live chat support so customers can get answers to their sales
questions and customer service problems on the spot?
So you go out on a limb and recommend a product,
then the customer buys it and can't access it or has some other
problem. There's no live chat support, they send an email and
don't get a return response.
Now how do you think the customer feels about you
and your recommendation at that point? Probably not too happy?
What do you think they are going to do next time you make a recommendation?
They're probably going to pass.
With Guitar-Profits.com we pay live support operators
to be there so your customers can have their questions and problems
answered right away. Live support can be expensive and there are
not that many companies that are willing to go that extra mile
for their affiliates.
What's more, the customers have to be able to find
the support. On our product's web sites the support button is
right there on the navigation bar. It's super easy to find. We
also have a support desk. In the event our support person has
to take a break for any reason, your customer or potential customer
can leave a message on our help desk and receive an immediate
tracking number.
In short, when you join our affiliate program, we
are going to treat the customers right. The way the deserve to
be treated.

7) Does the affiliate or associate program offer
live support where you can get YOUR questions answered?
Let's say you need your affiliate program ID or
have a commission question. Other than the email that's (more
than likely) going to get lost in the vast Internet system full
of ISP email spam blockers and filters, is there any way you can
get support?
With Guitar-Profits.com, we've got our person there
live on weekdays to help you so all you need to do is go to our
support page and click the chat button. (The hours are 10:00 AM
PST to 4:30 PM CST, Monday thru Friday).
8) Does the affiliate program have a bulletproof
tracking system?
We have done everything possible to ensure that
you always get credit for sales that result from your efforts.
Whether the visitors you send have their "cookies" turned
on or off, you'll know they are being tracked properly. We track
all sales -- not only those that originate at the online form,
but also if a customer registers via mail or fax. Your affiliate
ID code is hard-coded into the registration form.
In short, we go out of our way to make sure you
get the referral fees that you deserve. Real-time statistics are
provided (which allows you to view your traffic and sales stats
at any time), and you also receive an email notification whenever
you make a sale or signup a new sub-affiliate.
In Closing
I hope this has been an eye opening experience.
As you can see, not all affiliate programs are as great as they
say.
We created ours with YOU in mind and we work hard
to make YOU money and keep YOU happy. We aren't perfect. We make
mistakes. But we're on the ball. We're responsive. We've available.
And we do our best to follow up with your customers that you bring
in and pay you commissions on repeat sales.
So if that's the kind of program you want to be
a member of, then sign up now.
Sincerely,
Kenny Mann
Webmaster
