Last Chance to Earn 50% Commission

While the year is coming to speedy end, I want to remind you that this is the last month of the Q4 affiliate incentive drive. A couple months ago I sent out an email giving you a sales goal based on your personal annual affiliate sales. We said that for every sale you generated over the goal, we’d pay you 50% commission (instead of the normal 25%). This means that you have the potential to earn $149.50 a sale! We had never done that before, and the results were awesome!

In October we paid out over $3000 in bonuses and November we paid out nearly $2000! What will December bring? Wouldn’t you like to pay off your holiday spending with your Worldwide Brands affiliate bonus?

Don’t know your December goal? Send an email to affiliatemgr (at) worldwidebrands (dot) com, and I’ll let you know.

Happy Holidays!

Wishing you a Happy Turkey Day!!!

Hey Gang!

It’s that time again! It always amazes me how quickly the year goes, and now, the holiday season is upon us. When I was a kid complaining about the amount of homework I had, and how I couldn’t wait for the holidays, my parents would always say “Just you wait, as you get older the years fly by and you’ll wish them to slow down a bit…blah blah blah…”. Well, my friends - I guess that time is now!

Enough ranting…

In honor of this special time of year, we at Worldwide Brands would like to extend a special holiday discount offer. We have just launched a $50 off discount. It’s only available till midnight November 25, 2009. You can extend it to your customers, lists, and subscriber’s with this special link:

www.WorldwideBrands.com/thanksgiving/?kbid=XXXXX.
Make sure to replace ‘XXXXX‘  with your affiliate id so that you get credit for the sale.

 We also sent an email to our subscriber base, and I’ve included it below in case you’d like to draw from it for your own promotions.

Wishing you a very happy holiday season!

that, and we want to help. So, let me tell you what

So, we wanted to show our thanks to YOU.

We know that this is the best time to get ready for a comeback
year in 2010. We know for a fact that our tools are the ones
that will do it for you and your eBiz.

So if you’ll “bust our doors down” in the next three days, we’ll
“buy the turkey”. From Monday, Nov 23 to Wednesday, Nov 25, we’re
giving you a full $50 OFF the WorldwideBrands.com Product Sourcing
Package. One time fee, lifetime membership.

to buy the turkey!

to you over the years. Bust down the doors and get your business

Update: Will Write for Dollars Contest

Wow! I have had an incredible response to this competition. I am being kept VERY busy reading article submissions. I honestly didn’t expect such a great response. :o) I’m doing my best to respond as soon as I can to submissions - I’m responding in the order that I receive them. Please be patient - I’m only one person. :oP

While reading through some of the articles I realized I should have mentioned a few additional points, so here they are:

1. Please send your articles in MS Word format as an attachment to your email. I need to be able to open it to read it.
2. You can send me either one article at a time, or all at once - it doesn’t matter to me.
3. Remember to put your affiliate links in the articles. If there is a specific page you’d like to link to on the WorldwideBrands.com site let me know and I’ll send you the correct link. You can use more than one link in your article. Remember, we have provided you with a text link code generating tool, so you can link to any page with any text.
   Click here to get to the code generating tool.

Earlier this year I met a gentleman from New Zealand, Sean De Souza. Sean is the owner of PsychoTactics.com. I joined his newsletter list, he provides some really great content in his newsletters and on his blog. Starting August 12, 2009 Sean will be blogging about how to write articles. I’ve been following him for some time now so I’m confident that his posts will help you.
If you signup for his newsletter he’ll let you know by email when the posts are made, otherwise make a note on your calendar to check out his blog starting August 12.

That’s it from me for today. Good luck, and please let me know if you anything or have any questions.

Will Write for Dollars… Affiliate Competition

Boy do we have a competition for you, and a way to make some cash without even getting any sales. I know, this sounds a little strange. The state of the economy this year has made it difficult for many to make it through, so, I wanted to think up a way to help out.

That’s when I came up with this idea. This will be beneficial for any affiliate, especially if you haven’t got any links up yet. In my last newsletter I stressed the fact that content is one of the things you need to be successful as an affiliate of Worldwide Brands. So, for the month of August we are going to have a content generating competition.

Here’s what you need to do: Write Articles and Get
Them Posted!

1. Go to WorldwideBrands.com, and look around the site and read articles and other content to help you generate ideas. I’ve included some questions to help you generate some ideas.
2. Write as many articles as you like, the more you write, the more you earn.
3. Send me the articles that you plan to post so that I can verify we won’t have duplicate content, and I will check them for fact and give suggested pages to link to (although this is ultimately up to you as the affiliate).
4. Once I respond to your article submission, post it and send me the link so that I can verify it.

We’ll give you…

For every article you get published we’ll give you $10 cash!

Here are some suggested places to get your articles published:

EzineArticles.com
GoArticles.com
ArticleDashboard.com
SearchWarp.com
ArticlesBase.com
iSnare.com
SelfGrowth.com
Buzzle.com
ArticleCity.com

BusinessKnowHow.com
PromotionWorld.com
ArticlesFactory.com
ExcellentGuide.com/article
ContentDesk.com
ArticleCube.com
AfroArticles.com
ArticleBiz.com
Squidoo.com
Your own blog or newsletter

The affiliate who writes the most articles in the month (minimum 15 articles – hey, that’s one article every two days) we’ll send you
$100 on top what we’ve already promised. The funds will be sent to you as a bonus at the end of the month and will not be displayed within your account.

Here are some questions to help you get started; however the topics may have
anything to do with Worldwide Brands and ecommerce.

• What does WorldwideBrands.com do?

• How does WorldwideBrands.com help online retailers?

   (You can also link to this with your affiliate id: http://www.worldwidebrands.com/tdsf?kbid=XXXXX Replace XXXXX with your affiliate id.)

1. Affiliates may not copy any content directly. All the articles are to be of your own creation
2. Affiliates must submit articles to Colleen Darwent, Affiliate Manager for review prior to posting online.
3. Affiliate is responsible for posting the articles and sending the links to Colleen for verification – ideas for article submissions sites will be suggested, however this is at the affiliate’s discretion
4. Affiliates may also post on their own blog or newsletter
5. Articles must be a minimum of 400 words
6. This competition is for new articles. Affiliates may not use articles published prior to August 1, 2009.
7. This competition runs from 8/1/09 - 8/31/09. Submissions after 8/31/09 will not be included towards the competition, however you may still post it.

Subject – [First name], Need a financial break?
Subject – [First name], How to Avoid Nightmarish Dropshipping Mistakes
Hi [insert name],

Maybe you’re like many of the people I know.
You’re just waiting to hear the dreaded words that
you’re being laid off. And if this thought hasn’t
crossed your mind, you’re either one of the lucky
ones, or you are just plain ignorant.

Don’t be fooled! It’s a tough market right now, long
standing businesses are closing their doors, people
are losing their jobs, families are struggling to make
ends meet.

As a result, smart people are searching for something
they can do online, in their own time, in their own
space, with no one peering over their shoulder to
make sure those keys are ‘atapping’. ;oP

If you’ve ever thought about selling physical products
online, my friend, Chris Malta & WorldwideBrands.com,
has the answer for you.

And it’s f.r.e.e.

Learn about dropshipping the right way.
http://www.worldwidebrands.com/dsf/?kbid=XXXXX

Chris is the Founder and CEO of WorldwideBrands.com.
He and his company have been in the business of teaching
how to start selling physical products online. He teaches
about dropshipping, wholesalers and a WHOLE lot more.

Over the years Chris found that so many people were going
about setting up their dropship relationships all wrong.
He was just telling me how he hears from tired, frustrated
people who just need a break.

Some of the people he hears from have been caught
by the guy in the middle, acting as a wholesaler,
trying to catch a quick buck from an unsuspecting
person who is just wants to make an honest living online.

Chris’s frustration must have rubbed off on me because
frankly, I’M TIRED OF IT!
Like Chris, I’m tired of people being lied to. I’m tired of
hearing of dirt bags who are stealing from people who
are just trying to get by, and I’m tired of the scum of the
Earth who can sleep at night with this on their conscience.

“So, what can I do about it?” you ask?

YOU can decide not be one of those suckers who
believes in the overnight millions in your bank account.
Deep down you know that everything worth anything
takes time, so PLEASE don’t fall for it.

Even if you’ve not decided whether or not selling online
is right for you, I strongly suggest that you take a look at
what Chris is giving away.
We WANT to give you a break. That’s why when Chris
came to me asking to tell my friends about this I had to
jump on board.

Chris is GIVING you one of his educational products,
Dropship Focus. A $97 valued product jam packed with
dropship education.

That’s right, you won’t have to enter your credit card
number, or even your PayPal address.

Times are tough, and we don’t want you to spend money that
you don’t have.

That’s why it’s completely, 100% F.R.E.E.

Go Here: http://www.worldwidebrands.com/dsf/?kbid=XXXXX
Watch the first video, and enter your name and email
to get access to the remainder of the product.

Feel free to share the love… pass this email on to your
friends, your coworkers, anyone who needs a break.

Wishing you abundant success!

Subject – [First name], If you want to learn about dropshipping, you must read this…
Subject – [First name], Avoid Pandora’s Box of Dropshipping Disasters

Hi [First name],

You can get started making money online in a variety
of different ways:

Selling your own product. Marketing affiliate products.
Selling an info-product. Etc.

But, one of the best ways I’ve seen to make money
online is through dropshipping.

Billions of dollars are made through dropshipping
every year.

But, there are 3 critical dropshipping mistakes
people make every day.

http://www.worldwidebrands.com/dsf/?kbid=XXXXX

It seems simple, you upload an image of the product
and a description to your website or auction, sell the
item, collect the money and then send the wholesale
payment to the supplier and pocket the profit.

The supplier ships the product to your customer
and you never even have to touch the product.

It can be a wonderful business.
BUT there are three Things to watch out for:

Critical Danger #1:
The wholesale price of single Drop Shipped
items is higher than buying many at one time.
This is because the Drop Shipper does most of
the work for you (packing, shipping, etc.) and
charges for that extra work.
You need to learn how to price Drop Shipped
products competitively in the right markets;
otherwise you won’t make any sales.

Critical Danger #2:
You should only be using ONE Drop Shipper
per web site. If you use multiple Drop Ship
suppliers on your web site, you run the very real
risk of your Customers ordering products from
different Drop Shippers in the same order.
The danger here is that since your Customer’s
products are coming from different Drop Ship
wholesalers, you will be charged for shipping
several times over. And hence, make a loss on
the sale.

Critical Danger #3:
Drop Shipping is a low cost ENTRY POINT into
a successful online business, but is not meant to
be a permanent solution. Most people don’t realize
this, and don’t use Drop Shipping correctly in order
to advance their business to more profitable stages.

YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

BUT, there is plenty more to learn.
http://www.worldwidebrands.com/dsf/?kbid=XXXXX

Out of all of the companies I’ve seen online, no
one knows more about dropshipping than
Worldwide Brands.

This is all they do. Research and pre-screen wholesale
manufacturers every single business day.

For a limited time you can get their $97 product,
Dropship Focus for F.R.E.E.

http://www.worldwidebrands.com/dsf/?kbid=XXXXX
You get:
 * 23 interviews with the top drop ship and wholesaling
experts in the world.
 * 5 online videos that walk you through the wholesale
and dropshipping process.

It’s an impressive product.

But the most shocking thing about Dropship Focus
is the price.  You would expect something like this
to cost hundreds of dollars, but not this time.

Go and see why here:
http://www.worldwidebrands.com/dsf/?kbid=XXXXX

Thanks and I’ll talk to you soon.
