Thank you for your inquiry. While it is possible to use your own affiliate HopLink to purchase products from ClickBank, this is a practice that we discourage as it can lead to payment issues for your account.

Please be aware of the Customer Distribution Requirement, which states your account must reflect sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, and the sales must have been made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.

This requirement is in place to help prevent affiliates from abusing the ClickBank Affiliate Program by using their accounts for the sole purpose of collecting rebates and/or discounts on their own ClickBank purchases.

Although the Customer Distribution Requirement only has to be met once for each account, ClickBank continually monitors affiliate accounts to help prevent affiliates from abusing the ClickBank Affiliate Program. Affiliate accounts are for earning commissions on sales that other customers, not yourself, make through your links.

Please note that if your account is ever found to be violating our Client Contract, it can be terminated and any funds earned through purchases through your own HopLink can be held.

The 7 Tools To Internet Success

The 7 Tools To Internet Success

These are seminars I hole around the country in New Zealand. I got an email asking me to be interviewed on the TV about them. Wow my first TV interview.

I had all the questions sent to be before hand which I looked at and rehearsed… then she asked me different ones :-)

I guess she was taken back abit by my amazing new skin I had got put on my laptop she just wanted to talk about that. It was fun I have to say, then she asked me where the Seminar was going to be held… opps complete mind blank..

It was interesting and fun, and boy does 6 mins go by really fast. Anyway all done now, and here is the interview.

New Zealand Internet Marketer

I have to say I am totally passionate about Internet Marketing, and about business Online and Offline in New Zealand particularly, but overseas as well. No matter where I speak I am asked the same questions..

  1. Is there really money to be made online?
  2. How long will it take to make it?
  3. How much will I make?
  4. Will one site give me enough money so I can retire?
  5. How much time do I have to spend on my Online Business?

These questions and many more are great questions and all deserve an open an honest answer, which I am going to give via video, as I believe they are worth answering honestly and well.

In the meantime here is the video off the TV interview, I look forward to meeting you somewhere in my travels.

Learn Internet Marketing Using the Right Tools

Learn Internet Marketing Using the Right Tools

GB IM4SB

I believe to do anything well you need the right tools… I am sure you would agree. If you are a builder you know that you need not only the right tools but you also need good tools… who wants a hammer that after you give something a good knock then the end falls off… not very helpful.

I have said over and over that I will teach you Internet Marketing and tell you about the correct Internet Marketing Resources that will help you not only build a great Internet Business but will also build you a strong one.

I saw a video the other day of a massive block of Flats or Units in China fall over and into a raging torrent of water and all because no one bothered to make sure the foundations were strong and able to stand up to whatever the weather would throw at the building… It was very sad to see it all happen.

Internet Marketing Strategies

Not only will I give you great Internet Marketing Strategies I will give you the tools to make the Strategies all work for you.

I am excited to tell you about a few things I have been doing lately with a number of my new sites that are working very well for me.

I will share some of these with you now.

I have recently built a WordPress Site all about How To Draw A Car Step By Step this site has done well and in 2 weeks has made it to front page of Google. The next site I setup was one all about TMJ called TMJ Help Site, this has made it to front page of Google as well in less than a week on my chosen keywords, then in weekend while at a Workshop I was running I put together a website all about Hemorrhoids, it was all abit of fun, but I see only 4 days later that that site is on page 2 of Google.

Story
Last week I went to help out a guy who wanted me to show him how to get a website up and running and promoting an Affiliate Product… well here is what happened.. at the begining of our time together he was no where to be found on Google, after 90 mins of me showing him what he needed to do to get to front page, he was at top of page 2… after only 90 mins.

So what got him and myself from no where to the front page of Google?

Really great question….

Get to Front Page of  Google Fast

Well it’s all about the keywords and being relevant.  It’s all about the description and about the Headers… no one will tell you that… but it’s true. I would say that only about 5% of websites out there have any of those things on the website and I will prove it to you. Just watch the video and you will see as I randomly select websites..

Want to know more… want to know the big secret of how to get Traffic and How to get Google to find you…

then go here to my site Internet Marketing For Small Business and get the FREE DVD that will reveal all to you. It’s amazing.

Learn Internet Marketing through Social Networking

Social Networking
I’m sure you’ve heard of it :-) . You might even be doing it.
I sure am, I am on Facebook, and Twitter and Linkedin and so the list goes on and on…
But the real question is, are you doing it right?
How much time are you spending in the day to update your Social Networking sites…

Social Networking can be a lot of things. It can be a waste of time or a huge marketing tool.
I love what you can do with Social Networking, it is very, very powerful. No matter what Social Networking site you use, use it well.

Let me give you 3 things not to do, and some tips on what you can do.

I want to help you in every part of your Internet Marketing life, so as you Start Internet Marketing, make this website the place to stop and learn all you can.

Also watch the video if your a visual person, those who like to read can read it.
I wonder if you have given much thought to what you put up onto the internet? Here’s a thought that might make you think twice about what you put up there.

As Facebook itself is a very powerful tools for each of us to use, no matter what we are doing, if its Business or pleasure what you put up there and indeed in any Social Networking site can impact your life later on in your life.

Think on this… what if you were going for a job interview and your future Employer went to Facebook and took a look through it, would you be proud or worried. Always good to keep that in mind. If your mother or your Grandmother was to discover your page, would they be excited or totally embarrased….

One thing I know is what goes up there stays forever, the good and the bad.

Recently I have had the misfortune of having all my YouTube accounts deleted not once but so far 7 times, everytime I put one up it gets deleted, so now when you click on the video’s it comes up and says ” this account has been deleted due to Violation of Code” there was no warning and I am still at a loss as to what I did..
It’s very dishearting when it happens time after time, every channel after that I was very careful to use me and only me and my stuff, but still they deleted me. No reason, just gone. So now that leaves me with a huge problem of 1000′s of video’s that make me look like a criminal. What to do… well keep going, and make sure there is as much positive stuff out there with my name on it… its just what happens, so here we go again with another channel. Will see how I go.
So all that to say, have you thought of what you put on line and the impact it could have on you and maybe even your Grandchildren in years to come. It’s scary. However if we know all that we can make sure we do things right, from the begining.
3 Top Tips today of what not to do in Social Marketing:

1. Not sharing enough personal details
It’s called Social Networking for a reason….

2. Sharing too many personal details
Change your age by one or two years… I said one or two ladies :-)

3. Selling too much
Your there to make friends first, sales will follow…. Social Networking is not get rich over night, its make friends over night…. hmmm they could be taken wrong :-)
