Reed Floren is back in the giveaway business… If you have been around for a while, you know who he is and that he has been part of several huge giveaway events in the past. He has not put on any events in a while, so when I got an email from him today saying he was going to be one, I knew that I needed to get in.

Some of my most successful events, in terms of getting new list subscribers, have been in events that Reed has put on. Besides the event being done by Reed, he is paying 100% commissions on upgrades! If you upgrade you can add up to 3 gifts, 2 one time offers and 3 text ads. You can really get paid to build your list here!

This should be one of the best events of the year, so if you are needing fresh subscribers (and who doesn’t) to your list, you should get in now. It is an invite only affair, but lucky for you I can give you an invite. Click this link to sign-up and prepare to add tons of new subscribers. Hurry… The Giveaway begins August 27th!

We moved our affiliate program from a self-hosted operation to a third party site recently called Payspree. Most of our products will be listed there in the future. Between web redesign and creating new products, we haven’t had much time to move things over, but it is in the works and the new launches we have upcoming will be handled through them from the beginning. We decided on Payspree for a number of reasons including who the site was run by and the way they pay commissions to our affiliates.

First off, the site is run by Gary McAfree who has developed multiple products over the years and so he knows what frustrations one can go through when dealing with a site like Clickbank. I don’t have too many issues with Clickbank… They provide me with a nice source of income when I promote other people’s products… but they do have their drawbacks when it comes to their affiliate program.

The way Gary has set this site up to pay affiliates is great. Instead of your money sitting in your affiliate account until you have enough for a check to be issued, you get paid instantly to your Paypal account when the sale is made. Any refunds are handled through Payspree and adjustments to your account.

How does Payspree make their money?

We know that most people do not develop a website unless they are planning to make money from it, right? Gary is no different. Here is the low down…

If a sale is made for $4.99 or less, no fees are incurred… Its totally free! If the sale is between $5.00 and $19.99 the fee is a flat one dollar. If the sale is $20.00 or more, it is only a $2.00 fee… OK… What does this mean for you?

If you are promoting an item for me that pays 100% commission for $4.99 on the front-end, there are no fees owed on the sale. Then, lets say there is an upsale for $47 dollars on the backend that you earn 50% commission on… You will get paid the full $47 to your Paypal account on every other sale that you make. For every $47 sale that is sent to your Paypal account, you will generate a $2.00 debit to your Payspree account which is payable at the first of the month.

So, lets say you send 1000 people to an item of mine and 50 buy on the front end $4.99 offer. You will receive $249.50 directly to your Paypal account and owe no fees from those sales.

Of those 50 who bought on the front end, twenty take the $47 up sale on the back end. From those sales you would receive $470 directly into your Paypal account and owe $20 in fees to Payspree. In order to keep your account in good standing, those fees would have to be paid by the first of the next month.

The other $20 in fees generated by the back-end sales would be owed by me, which I would have to pay by the first of the next month to keep my affiliate products being listed and sold.

Basically what happens is, instead of the money all being pooled by Payspree and you getting paid your commission, minus fees, sixty days later: You get paid the full commission up front and send Payspree their cut once a month. Pretty simple really… I know that I don’t mind sending someone $20 or so if they have just helped me make $720.

So that is it. Its free to sign up and start promoting products at Payspree… There are tons of things from other marketers listed there you can promote, too.

Lots has been going on the past few months. I have been redesigning this site, getting the WP Blog Master dot net site ready to launch on September 1st, dealing with AT&T and construction crews near and at my house in Oklahoma, setting up products for my affiliates with Payspree and much, much more…

First, the site redesign here is nearly complete. Everything should be finished by the middle of this month… I just thought… That’s less than a week away! It really should get done by then. I just need to link a few buttons to Payspree and get a few more product pages up for my affiliates.

Speaking of Payspree… I am moving most of my affiliate operations to their site. If you want to see what I have listed so far, just click on the affiliate link from the home page. I’ll be adding more soon and they all should pay at least 50% commission. You can register at Payspree here… Its free and easy. They pay your commissions immediately instead of you having to wait on a check, like Clickbank or some of the other affiliate programs out there.

Part of my redesign project for this site was interrupted this past week when a sewage line contractor severed my phone line in the alley next to my house. Then it took AT&T several days to get out here and get it repaired. The repairman gave it a temporary fix because the construction crew us still running trucks and equipment up and down my alley. He did give me his card and told me to call if they cut the line again and he would get to me much quicker than going through AT&T’s automated system.

The WP Blog Master dot net site is due to launch on September 1st. This site will be a monthly membership site for bloggers. I have a ton of ebooks, videos and software to load up before launch day, but everything is going on schedule at the moment. I do need to get some promo videos finished and banners made for the site in the next week or so. The JV information will be on the affiliates page by August 15th, if you are interested in promoting this launch.

I am developing what was billed as my “Super Blogging Course” and will be launching it probably in early October. I have been giving away a preview copy of the ebook, but that will end on August 31st. I have already added 20 or so pages to the preview copy and have more to add before it is finalized.

The course is now titled “Blog Launch Blueprint” and you can get the preview copy at http://wpblogmaster.net/recommends/blb if you want to get an idea of what will be included in the course.

That’s about all for now. I should be updating weekly or more often leading up to the launch of WP Blog Master dot net and then “Blog Launch Blueprint”.

I really need to finish this site… I’ve been so busy working on my projects for this year that I’ve totally ignored finishing this site up and even have been failing to post what things are coming down the pike in the blog here. So…

These are the things that I am working on.

New site Viral Web Views is up and running, but I really haven’t put it through a complete launch, yet. Its just kinda setting there and getting a few visitors each day on its own. Probably should do a YouTube video and promote the site on Twitter to get some social traffic moving towards it.

I’ve decided to give my biggest project ever away for free! My WP Blog Master Super Course was to be a $297 seller, but I decided to delay the launch and take a few people under my wings and let them go through the course for free and gain some real-life testimonials from real users (not the gurus) before putting it out there to the public. I feel it will give the course much more credibility if I have these testimonials for it.

The next site that I’m working on is an extension of WP Blog Master, but is also a stand alone site. This will be a niche membership site where each week the members will receive a custom WordPress Blog theme. They will also get PLR articles, a PLR eBook, PLR report for building their list, squeeze page, sales page, autoresponder series, banner graphics and keywords for that niche. Pretty much a whole niche site in the box, ready to go.

These niche sites are a perfect addition for the people who have went through the WP Blog Master course to help them build there blogging empire on autopilot, but are aso great for anyone else looking to broaden their marketing and expand into new niches. I haven’t come up with a pricing structure at this point, but my staff is busy working to crank out the sites as I write.

There will be some sort of free membership where they will get the niche blog template, but nothing else. Only the paid members will get the complete site in the box set-up. At this time we have nearly a years worth of niches identified and being developed. I’m hoping to have a full year lined out when we launch.

The good news is that all of the people won’t get the same package each week. The way that the site will be set up, will be that the niches will be set-up to drip each week to the member depending on when they sign up. So, if someone signs up six months after another member they will be getting the niches that the older member received six months prior. I should have more info on this project in the coming weeks.

I’m also working with my son to develop his RPG game site. Benjetta Games could be great if he wasn’t so much like me… He gets way too many things going at once and has a hard time finishing just one. He currently has several games in development and none of them are bug-free yet because he starts on a new one before he gets the other finished. The kid (he’s only 14) is very creative, with a warped sense of humor… So the games are bound to be interesting, to say the least.

Then I am working with my other son to develop a traffic exchange. Since he first started helping me with my online business, he has been wanting to own a traffic exchange. We are in the process of getting our ideas together for the site, so that it does everything that we want it to on launch day and we’re not having to go back in and add things in at a later time. Hopefully it will make him some money and he can move out of my basement (LOL) XD !

I still intend to launch my flash website building site and re-launch my rotator site that was hacked into by some crazy Russian last year, in addition to keeping all of my blog sites up and running.

If you are on my JV List, you will be getting notified about the new sites when they are ready to go. If you’re not on my JV List, you should be. Just subscribe from this site and you’ll get the inside scoop on not only my JV launches but launches from other top marketers as well.

It looks like many more busy days and nights for me this year. Hope yours are as productive as mine have been recently.
