The Newbie Club (tm) Affiliate Program

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

Affiliate Program, Digital Delivery System and Shopping Cart

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 info

Email, Ezines, Autoresponders

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!.

Web Copy & Email Tutor

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.

E-Book Compiler - create your own ebooks

eBook Compiler

Active 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.

International 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.
