The Newbie Club™
Affiliate Program
Products
and Services used
by The Newbie Club™
Affiliates regularly ask
us which products we use to run and maintain our Website and Affiliate
Program.
When you're first starting
out it can be a bewildering experience trying to choose the best and
most effective solution for your own specific needs. We
researched and planned for 9 months, before we were ready to launch
The Newbie Club™. And much of our efforts were spent researching the
huge array of software and production tools that are available. Every
single one of which promised us it was the 'best'.
Like everything else in
business, your choices depend on how they fit in with the specific
needs of your own individual business. We were determined to
create a Website and an Affiliate business that was second to none.
And the amazing success of the Newbie Club™ and it's Affiliate
program is due in no small part to the foundations we built in the
planning stage.
So here
are the tools we
use. They may or may not fit in with your business plan, but whichever
way you choose, we can honestly recommend every one of them. And in
case you're wondering ...
Yes, we are Affiliates of
these companies. Hey, if we can HONESTLY recommend them, what's wrong
with us making a little commission? It may as well come to us as to
someone else! I suppose it's all a matter of trust. Well, we will
NEVER recommend anything unless we are prepared to back it 100%. We
use these products ourselves, so that should be recommendation in
itself. Don't you think?
These brief reviews were
written by me - Joe Robson - and my 'techie' partner Tom Glander. OK here we go ...

Synergyx
- By Paul Galloway Review by Tom Glander
The best thing about
Synergyx is Paul Galloway. He's just one terrific person who really
understands his software, and how to make it work for you.
Fast setup time. Super reliable. Makes administering an affiliate
program a breeze.
Installed by Paul and his team of programmers. Installation included
in purchase price. Makes life easy for me, since I don't have to worry
about learning how to install a complex script on our server.
Newbie Club Affiliates enjoy choosing their own affiliate code, and
their own website is created. Better still, they can use totally clean
linking code, such as http://newbieclub.com/home/learn
No gobbledygook symbols like cgi-bin/d.cgi?3456 .
We have total ad tracking, stats checking and it runs on our own
server, giving total control over every aspect of the program. Web
interface is fast and friendly, well thought out, and gives excellent
reporting options.
Includes Postmaster software (see below).
Joe's extra tip; I'm totally at sea when it comes to techie stuff. But
whenever I ask Tom to provide a particular solution for a marketing
idea, he and Paul Galloway always seem to come up with the answer. If
you would rather just add it to your Affiliate business, it's a 2
tier program. More

Postmaster
by Automation Online Review
by Tom Glander
Easy to use interface built on Microsoft Access, so
if you're an Access user this will be a breeze to learn. If not, it's
still not difficult.
Recovers itself if there's a crash. If I'm in the middle of a mailing, and my PC dumps, Postmaster remembers where
it left off and starts the mailing from that point. Saves duplicate mailings!
Great support system, toll free number, knowledgeable
people responsive to my questions. Software updates made available
quickly and with no charge. Nice people to work with, and they don't make me
feel dumb.
Has saved me countless hours over the old way of copy and pasting
addresses into the BCC field of Outlook Express.
I can write as many letters to our customers as I want, and
keep everything organized. I know which letter has been sent, and to whom.
And I'm more organized since I don't have to look in different places for the info I need.
Amazing time saver in that it has endless filtering ability. I just watch it collect the mail, scan it, and stick everything where it's supposed to go. It's fun to watch it work, because I know I DON'T have to do the chores it's doing!
Joe's
extra tip: They also have a free full feature trial version
you can try out, and a great 2 tier Affiliate
program to help build your Affiliate business!.

Make
Your Words SELL!
By Joe Robson &
Ken Evoy
Review by
Joe Robson
OK, I wrote this so how
can I give an unbiased opinion? Because I know how difficult it can be
for most people to write order pulling Ads and Web Salescopy. If there
is one factor above any other that is essential to the success of any
business, it's the words you write that pull in the orders..
And the way you write them. I want to avoid making this sound like a
sales pitch for my own product, so I'll simply present you with this
short extract from a review written by Affiliate Master Azam Corey of
NowSell.com
...
.... From the
essential processes involved before you write a single word - did you
know there were any? - to the polishing of your final draft, and
everything in-between. "Make Your Words Sell!" covers it
all. A definitive guide to writing copy for the web. Definitive
because it covers absolutely everything, in language absolutely anyone
can understand. Web because it was written from the ground up for the
web. Other copywriting books are based on offline direct marketing,
which though similar, is *not* the same as web marketing.
... Joe is a
marketer and copywriter with 30 years experience and his own
successful business. BUT, most importantly for you and I, he has truly
grasped how the web sales process works...
Joe's
extra tip: This book will do more to increase your
income than any other book you'll find. And yes there's a terrific
Affiliate Program run by Ken Evoy of Sitesell fame.

eBook Compiler Review
by Joe Robson
Hey, even I can use this.
And it's filled with features which are normally found only in
products costing 200% - 600% more.
We are producing many,
many eBooks for the Newbie Club™ and Affiliates, so it was essential
that we find a Compiler that would produce a professional finished
product in a quick and easy way. This is it. We certainly weren't
looking for the cheapest - we wanted the best. Yet as an added bonus
it costs only $29.95. Unbelievable value!
So if you're thinking
about producing an eBook for business or family use, take my advice
and grab this one. And they have an extremely attractive Referral
Program that will fit in with most Affiliates needs.

Council of Online Professionals |
iCOP™
Review by Joe
Robson
My partner Tom and I were honored to be
invited on board as Founding Members of this highly ethical and
professional organization. It's run by JL Scott - the author of the
eye-opening book called 'Kickin' Butt and Taking names', and a highly
experienced and hardened arbitrator.
Wherever there's even a hint of
unprofessional conduct JL is in there like a predatory cyber-cruncher!
But having the iCop Seal on your Website gives your potential buyer an
inordinate amount of confidence in you and your company. I cannot
think of a more effective way to re-assure your customer of your
professionalism and credibility.
How? Because when she sees the iCop
logo she knows how honest
and credible you and your company really are. Because now she
can see the stringent high standards that you and your fellow iCop™
members strive to maintain.
She knows she can relax in the
knowledge that she is dealing with a company
of the highest integrity, recommended by an organization with high
profile Founding Members of unimpeachable character and unquestionable
professionalism. Now she knows that in the unlikely event
of a dispute, she has someone to turn to for help. A
third party organization of the highest integrity who will listen to
her problem and strive to resolve it!
Now she's been given all the
confidence she needs, from a highly creditable third party
testimonial, to click your Buy Button! Now
that's what I call an impeccable testimonial. Don't you?
Click
over there now and see if you and your site qualify for
membership.
