If you’ve been around the internet for any time recently I’m sure you’ve been bombarded with certain programs and services offering 100% Commissions…
Are these 100% Commission Programs Scams?
You might be surprised or concerned or even suspicious that I’m writing about this on an Instant Blog Platform in a Marketing Tools Program that does offer 100% Commissions to it’s members! And I hope that you are…but I just ask that you read through this because there are some that are – lets say – “Questionable” and then there are those that are not – Or as we say in Australia – Fair Dinkum! (meaning “above board” in this case )
The Number 1 issue is, these offers either attract folks like flies OR they are a complete “put off”.
So Let’s tear back the Hype and see whats actually inside.
It’s actually vital that you do your research, as I have! I’m not one to leap into anything and everything… ( I used to be but I got smarter – the hard way)
The Questions you need to ask are…
- What are you actually getting for the price and
- What are the “actual fees“.
And completely leave the 100% commission part aside and that’s something that can and does cloud your judgement.
Now I am going to be using GlobalNPN as a reference point or example of what a “Fair Dinkum” version of this is.
Let’s start at the beginning…
The lowest cost entry point is the $15 per month level. Now this gives you an Instant Blog Platform, exactly like this one… Plus you get a Tracker service, a URL Rotator and a 2,500 member Auto Responder. Right there you have the most basic tools you need to get started with.
The Whole “Instant Blog” scene is what some companies use as their “base product”. And that’s all you get!
With GlobalNPN, you get what I mentioned above for just $15.00 Per Month… That on it’s own makes it a “Stand Out”. Do your own research and if you find better, please let me know.
Now with this “plan” if you do refer others into the program, you’ll earn $5 per month for each person as long as they remain a member. So bring in 3 folks and you are at “break even”. And No 100% commissions in sight… yet.
If You Choose to, you can go for the same plan With 100% Commissions for an extra $9.97 bringing you to $24.97 per month… Still under those that charge more for less… So you do have to pay for the privilege ie – The Site Owner has to Make Money… So this brings your per referral commissions to $15 per person…
Now let’s do some math… Without the 100% Commissions paying $15 per month and earning $5 per referral results in you paying the owner $10.
If you Opt to pay the extra $9.97 to earn $15 per person… The site owner still gets his $10 so that hasn’t changed! What has changed is that you are now earning an extra $10 per person. And to make this work correctly, it is designed so that it’s more attractive to go for the 100% Commissions… That’s just business… Have you ever been to MacDonalds and asked if you wanted to “Up Size”…
So the payout you get has risen considerably… and if that’s still an issue for you, even at that price, you are still getting some pretty powerful tools that the competition cannot even come close too! Just 2 referrals are now bringing you $30 per month and you are only paying $24.97!
The Next Level.
The next level is The Director Level which was $39.95 per month and you earned $25 per referral… Applying the same Math, the difference was $15 approx that was paid to the program owner… This is the most popular level as the tools provided skyrockets at this level… Again it’s been done deliberately… Give the most powerful tools at a price most folks can afford… And seriously, if you are using the Tools Correctly to earn an income with what ever your business is… well the point is a little mute.
Now it’s $40 per month Plus the $15 you were already paying… But you are now earning $40 Per Month per referral at this level… Plus any $15 per member commissions at the lower level. It’s costing you $55 per month – and two referrals are bringing in $80.
There is no “Smoke and Mirrors”
It’s just business… And it’s fully transparent… There are no smoke and mirrors going on here or Hyped Up Promises… The Basic Point here is that regardless of the possible “Commissions” you could earn… The Actual Tools you are getting are extremely beneficial to building your primary business, which could be anything…
Unlike some programs, that in my opinion, are solely geared to take your money and give you nothing of worth in return… Those Are ALL Based upon the 100% Commission Carrot! They are just “Promote and earn 100% Commissions”! And to get the actual 100% Commissions, which they are a little shy in talking about until they’ve got you hooked… you have to pay a premium…
So Look at what you get and don’t be dazzled by 100% Commissions
Seriously if I’m paying $55 per month to earn $40 per referral BUT I’m getting some Kickarse Marketing Tools I’ve not found anywhere for the price… Then I’m not complaining.
I’ve done my research and it has taken me a little while to settle down with GlobalNPN. To the point that I can now happily talk about it to anyone and suggest it to folks knowing that I’m Helping them ( If the choose to promote the program itself Or Not!) And Not just trying to earn myself Commissions! But as an Affiliate based program… I’m not complaining…
Even if the commissions were much less, I’d still be using this system for my marketing. Isn’t that the whole point of it all?
That’s very very important in my book!
So when you are looking into these 100% Commission Affiliate Programs… Is it all about the commissions or what the actual value of the services offered are to you and your business?
Always do your research!
Cheers
