Update On Affiliate Prizes Competition

by Gideon Shalwick on December 3, 2008

First of all, thanks to everyone who’s already promoted the Become A Blogger Premium program either through the videos on becomeablogger.com, or The Roadmap report.

The response from people has been OVERWHELMING so far with already 7,231 downloads of The Roadmap report. It’s actually a lot higher than I initially expected, so it’s all good!

Ok, so I’ve managed to figure out the top 10 promoters so far by looking at who’s got the most clicks on their ClickBank hoplinks.

Of course, there are no sales yet, so this ranking will likely change a lot over the next few days.

Here’s the ranking at the time of writing this post:

1. Jason Gazaway – Just met Jason for the first time, so it’s great to see new people on the list (and leading!)

2. Darren Rowse – following close on the heels of Jason – there’s less than a hundred clicks difference…

3. John Chow – Even while he’s been in hospital the past week, he still made it to #3

4. David Risley – only about 300 clicks less than John

5. Nassorn Snitwong Na Ayudthaya – Sorry about the bad pronounciation of your name

6. Pawan Agarwal – going steady – only about 70 clicks behind Nassorn

7. Jim Hickey – only about a 100 clicks difference between the last four top 10 spots…

8. Caroline Middlebrook

9. Brenda

10. Carol McCrow

So, as you can see, with some new comers and about 520 people promoting, the competition is going to be tough.

Coming up next is the launch in Thursday, Dec 4 at 4pm EST.  I’ll send out another swipe file soon, so be ready!

Money Making Tip from Yaro:

Yaro told me that he quite a lot of success from affiliates who added some of their own bonuses as incentive for people to buy through their links.

So, if you haven’t already, make sure you offer some of your own bonuses – it might just make the difference between getting on the top 10 spot, and missing out…

Also, as a heads up…

There will be a Fast Action Bonus offered to people who sign up during the first 24 hrs. This will be yet another reason for you to send out an email and get more sales. But more on this later.

That’s it for now… and keep on getting those clicks!

Congrats to all of you that are up there on that list. We are all promoting an AMAZING program. I’m not surprised to see those names in the top 10. Keep up the great work!

Ron Dixon December 3, 2008 at 11:13 pm

I haven’t made the top ten yet but this is still exciting to see how this is all playing out. What a great learning opportunity to be apart of! Thanks Gideon and Yaro. You guys are awesome!

Yup congrats from me also try to improve and good tips share by Yaro…keep up to blog :wink:

Pamela December 3, 2008 at 11:34 pm

Wow! What a great initial response to a phenomenal download. Since this is my very first launch participation as an affiliate, it is exciting to see and be a part of. And what a learning experience.

Thanks to Yaro and Gideon for providing such an amazing product – makes me confident in offering it to my readers.

Good luck!
Pamela

Hey Ron

There’s still lots of time to get onto the top 10 list of course. This is only the beginning :)

All the best!

Hi Pamela

Thanks for the kind comments!

It’s definitely a fun experience to launch new products. I’ve had a few small launches in the past, but this is my first real big one.

So, I’m learning as we go as well!

It’s great having Yaro as my business partner in this. He’s done it a few times now, and knows what to do.

All the best!

Brian Sloan December 3, 2008 at 11:43 pm

Thanks so much for bringing me on board for this product launch. I am learning so much from this experience. I too am learning as I go and truly appreciate all your resources.
Good Luck with the launch.
Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian

Very glad that you can be part of the team.

I’ve noticed your Google Adwords ad as well, so I hope you get a truckload of clicks!

Thanks for the best wishes!

Hey Congrats on all the activity.

I wonder where I’m at on that list? Kind of sucks, of course some of those guys are going to get the top spots because of their name or brand.

Maybe it would have been appropriate to offer prizes among the established popular bloggers and prizes among the not so known bloggers that don’t nearly have an audience of say a Darren or John Chow. Just a thought, don’t forget about the little guy. :)

Gideon Shalwick December 4, 2008 at 12:31 am

Hi Miguel

That’s a really good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

You want to know something?

We almost did have two kinds of prizes – one for the highest number of sales, and one for the highest number of conversion rates – thereby giving everybody a fair chance…including the little guy.

But unfortunately, we decided that it was going to be too hard to keep track of for this launch.

But I definitely want to make it easier for “the little guy” to get into the top 10 spots somehow as well.

In any case, thanks again for the great idea. Much appreciated!

Nassorn December 4, 2008 at 1:40 am

Congrats to all winners.

Dominique December 4, 2008 at 2:02 am

It is great to see so many “big guys” promoting your excellent product. I don’t think a small lady like me will ever make it to your top 10 list but nevertheless have learned a lot from your e-book. :)

Gideon Shalwick December 4, 2008 at 2:03 am

Hey Nassorn

Just to make sure we’re all on the same page…there are no winners just yet.

The above is only the ranking so far.

I’m sure you understood that in any case, but just making sure :)

Talk soon!

Gideon Shalwick

Gideon Shalwick December 4, 2008 at 2:11 am

Hi Dominique

Great to see you on here…

Yeah, it’s fantastic that so many people are getting into it. It’s really turning out to be quite a… well… turn out!

Talk soon!

Gideon Shalwick

Nassorn December 4, 2008 at 2:27 am

yep.

Just notice after posted that I’m in the rank too. wow!
By the way, feel free to cut “Na Ayudthaya” from my last name. Itis needed for bank accoount only. :)

Vicki Williams December 4, 2008 at 2:32 am

Congratulations Gideon and Yarak

This is my first time at seeing how a launch works and you make it seem sooooooo easy!!!

I love how both the blueprint and the roadmap are so detailed and structured.
As a result of these tools I have a much clearer vision of how to create and operate a blogsite, thanks.

I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us.
Although my database is small I have still created some interest which is great.

I am also thrilled that you are here in OZ.
I’ll catch you on the other side.

Gideon Shalwick December 4, 2008 at 2:46 am

Hi Vicky

Great to make contact with you!

Thanks for the nice feedback – much appreciated!

If it’s any consolation… all the big promoters started with a small database. So you’re in good company :)

Talk soon!

Professional Lab December 4, 2008 at 9:24 am

How much downloads they are making? give the amount please.
Is their any prizes for this?? ;)

David Risley December 4, 2008 at 4:52 pm

Kinda weird to see my name up there, I gotta tell ya.

Good luck to both Yaro and Gideon on the launch, and to all the affiliates. Regardless of how much money is made by everybody, at least we’re giving a good solid product recommendation here. You really can’t go wrong.

I read the free report and learned several little strategy tips I didn’t even know about – and I do this for a living!

Leslie December 4, 2008 at 5:22 pm

WOOHOOO, My first sale within an hour and a half from launch. This is exciting.

Miguel Wickert December 12, 2008 at 9:28 am

Gideon

Hey bro, no worries- it’s understandable, why make life more difficult? Thanks for considering the little guys of the blogosphere. Cheers, maybe next time.
