Hello New Associate,
Thank you for becoming a Speaker Shop Associate.
The Associates Referral Program is rapidly becoming a great
success and with a small amount of effort can provide
you with a steady source of income while you are sleeping.
This is a fairly long page, but PLEASE take the time to READ IT
ALL. The information and tips will explain exactly how everything
works and the different ways to earn referral fees. Taking the
time to read everything in its entirety will pay off in the
extra referral fees you get by setting everything up *right*
the first time.
You should have received your associate number via email when you first signed
up as an associate. If you didn't, email tomantion@aol.com
and he will email you your associate number and passcode.
There are many choices for the URL that you should use to link
to us. This will depend on the type of visitor you get at your
website. There are several choices below. You want to pick the
link that would be of most interest to your visitors.
Here are some examples:
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/public-speaking.htm (really low key sales
letter)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/speak4moneysystem.htm (for business
opportunity and home based business)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/speakervideo.htm (for professional speakers)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/toastmasters.htm (for Toastmasters)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/trainers.htm (for trainers)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/mlm.htm (for Multi level and Network Marketers)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/associates/assoc_program.htm (for subassociate program)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/wakebook.htm (for Wake 'em Up Book)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/click.htm (Internet Marketing E-Book for Speakers)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/buttcamp.htm (Internet Marketing Live Seminar)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/buttcampcd.htm (Internet Marketing Special Video CD for Windows Only)
http://www.antion.com/t.cgi/XXXXXX/publicityhoundTOC.htm (How to Be a Kick Butt Publicity Hound Ebook)
You can duplicate the above link form and link to any page in the antion.com
site. You commission will be recorded when someone buys something.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will see
"XXXXXX" as part of all the links in our documentation. When you see
this, you must substitute your associate number so that the link you are putting
on your website will work.
The addresses above are specific to your site. In other words,
it puts a hidden code (your associate number) in the site to
track how many visitors have linked from your site and how
many of those have ordered.
To view how many people have traveled from your site to ours, or
to see how many have ordered, go to the following site at
anytime:
REPORTS URL:
https://assoctrac.com/129/admin/
Enter your associate number as the "User ID" and enter the password
you entered when you first applied as an associate. If you forget either of
these mailto:tom@antion.com for
assistance.
Please do not get the "reports" URL confused with the URL that
you are to use as a link to us. It would be very embarrassing to
yourself if you were to accidentally link a banner (or text link)
from your site to a "reports" site (that shows how many visitors
have linked through and how many have ordered) instead of our
site. This "reports" URL above is only for your personal use to
see how many visitors have clicked through and how many have
ordered (so you can see how much you are earning in real-time).
=================
First Thing To Do
=================
First, you must decide how you want to incorporate The Great Speaking Center into your website. You can do one of two things (or both):
#1) Text links
#2) Banner links
Many sites use BOTH types of links for their website. In other
words, they have multiple areas on their site that they link
to The Great Speaking Center and they use both text links and banners.
Don't hesitate to link The Great Speaking Center from multiple areas in
your website. Remember, the more people that see The Great Speaking Center links... the more people that link... the more people that
order... the more referral fees you get.
==========
Text Links
==========
We recommend that you link to us on your main page because of the
exposure.
You can have one of our banners on your site as the link to one of
our products OR you can have a text link to us directly from your
main page, your "other links" page, or wherever you deem
appropriate at your website.
For example, if your site has a "main menu" format on your home
Page; you could have us listed in your main menu (if applicable).
We recommend the main page because it has the highest exposure to
your visitors, and of course, the more people that link to The Great Speaking Center webpage, the more people that buy, and the more money you make.
============
Banner Links
============
This is by far THE MOST COMMON WAY PEOPLE LINK TO US. Most
associate members have a banner on their main page and then on a
few other sub-pages at their website. On the main page we recommend
that you list us as high on the page as possible OR close to the
links that go to other parts of your site; as that is where your
visitors are looking and will see the link.
No matter how you integrate it into your website, we give you
complete control. You can find all banners, as well as complete
and thorough examples on text and banner linking by visiting:

==========================================
WARNING: NOTE ON SPAM AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
==========================================
Associates sending unsolicited commercial email or posting to
"inappropriate" newsgroups has become more of a problem
lately.
It is against your associates agreement to advertise
our web site via unsolicited email. Some people
think that associate "Spam" email originated from us, damaging
our reputation and causing us many administrative problems. DO
NOT send unsolicited email to promote us, or you
will be in violation of your associates agreement and your
account will be terminated, forfeiting all outstanding referral
fees. Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.
However, do not get this confused with PROPER WAYS to promote
our products. Please recommend the course in your autoresponders,
in a personal email to your clientele base, your lead lists, people
that contact you and you stay in touch with, a newsletter list,
at your website, even in appropriate email discussion lists, etc.
This is not spamming.
