Product Review: Affiliate Cash Secrets

Sunday 11 March 2007 @ 1:39 am

A recent release I've been testing out is Derrick VanDyke's great new membership site, Affiliate Cash Secrets.

In a nutshell, it's a membership that provides you all the tools to promote selected Clickbank products, even if you don't have a website. There are also specific instructions on how to use a variety of methods to get traffic to your splash pages, and how to build and exploit an opt-in email list.

Derrick provides a small and growing list of recommended Clickbank products, and also provides pre-fab splash pages you can use to build your opt-in list while you're promoting the product. The strategy is a tried and true one used by quite a few "Super Affiliates". Instead of just referring people to the sales page and getting one shot at a commission, you get them to subscribe to your list and can continue to market the product (and other related products) to them over a period of time.

In addition to the splash pages, you get recommended email promotions for each product, as well as all the code needed to set up your campaign using any of several popular autoresponders. Campaign tracking is also available, as are some pretty good pointers on how to use articles, ezine advertising, and online list and traffic exchanges, among other traffic tactics.

This is a great product for "newbies" as well as for busy marketers who want to easily add some Clickbank promotions to their arsenal. There really is nothing to stop you from making some minor modifications to some of the splash pages and going on to promote other products, as well.

The formula is simple and straightforward, and the instructions equally clear for each of the several recommended traffic strategies. The beauty of this affiliate marketing system is its simplicity and ease of implementation, and the fact that new products are being added each month.

The main drawback appears to be that as membership grows, you'll find yourself competing with more and more people promoting exactly the same products in exactly the same way. Of course, with a minor ammount of creativity you can "personalize" the splash pages enough to make them different from everyone else's.

The bottom line? Affiliate Cash Secrets appears to be a solid system that should be profitable for most people who are willing to put in even minimal effort, especially given the modest monthly membership fee and excellent support materials provided.
