Paypal affiliate script - $7 secrets?

[capone2009]

Hey there,
just wondered if I could use the $7 secrets script and do a JV with someone.
If my report sells for $10, does it automatically send $5 to my and $5 to the JV's paypal account? Just like with rapid action profits?

No....

The script will alternate sales.

If you set the "commission" at 50%... the first sale goes to you and the second to the affiliate/JV partner.

Sales go like this:

One to you

One to the affiliate

One to you

One to the affiliate

So... you still get a 50% split, but it alternates a full payment to each one every other sale.

Peace

Ah, that's a cool way, thanks!

Btw, what is if someone decides to get a refund?
Do I have to handle all the refunds with my money/paypal account or how does this work?

The 7 Dollar Secret Script is only as powerful as it could be if you actually offer 100% commissions.

Here's why:

Let's say you decide you want to build a business around the...hmmm... knitting market.

So, you create a small, informative report that YOU would be willing to pay $7 for (the price doesn't really matter- it could be more than $7 if you want). Now, you offer affiliates 100% commission on the sale of your general knitting report.

You are thinking "I did the hard work and wrote the report, so I should get some of the profit" right?

Well, in the long run, you are!

You see... when your affiliates get 100% commission, they are more interested in actually promoting your product. During the payment/download process, the buyer is given an opt-in box to sign up for YOUR list.

Let's say you have 100 affiliates that each sell 5 of your products. You could have a list of 500 people built on autopilot.

Soon after, you create another report for the knitting niche. You can send a broadcast email to people who you already know are buyers (the 500 person list of buyers your affiliates built for you). Now, out of those 500 people, whoever buys your new report will be directly paying you- not the affiliate who built the list for you.

Some may buy, some may not... but those who buy may find out that they can make a 100% commission off of your product- and the cycle continues.

Of course, this is the ideal way for the 7 dollar secret script to work. You can tweak it how you want- offer 50% commission if you want- but in my opinion, building a list of BUYERS is more profitable than a sale that brings me $3.50. What affiliate is going to promote a product that only pays them for every-other sale they make anyway?

Just my 2 cents

[capone2009]

Yeah, that's probably true. But actually I don't want to create more products for the market and just want to sell a PLR product for quick cash.
But you made a good point, should think about that.

Do you know how the refunds are handled?

It depends on the circumstances.

If the buyer, goes into Paypal and refunds.. then whoever received the payment from that particular sale, will have to deal with the refund.

BUT

The buyer may contact you as the website owner, and request a refund manually. In which case, you will have to either send them the refund and request it from your affiliate, or your affiliate will have to manually refund the purchase.

Just to be clear, the RAP script alternates payment - it doesn't split each one.

Ok, I think I know now everything I wanted to know.
Thank you guys, you've really helped me!

Don't be short-sighted.

Your list is built at the same rate (with either script), regardless of whether you offer 100% commission or 1% commission, because every buyer goes onto the customer list.

As for "What affiliate is going to promote a product that only pays them for every other sale they make"... just about any affiliate marketer. A 50% commission rate with either script pays the affiliate 100% of the sales price on every other sale - so they're making as much or more than most other affiliate programs available on the web would pay them.

I have well over 1300 affiliates promoting my RAP-driven products. The fact that they are paid as soon as the sale is made (rather than waiting 30-45 days for a check) is a powerful motivator for affiliates - and there's absolutely NOTHING that requires you to sell your product for only $7. My first instant commission product had a price tag of $47. Now my cheapest product is 3 payments of $67.

If your product is worth it, sell it for $14.95 and offer 50% commissions. Your affiliates will see almost as many sales at that price point, but make more per sale. Because "commissions" are instant, you still won't have any trouble finding affiliates to promote the product, and you'll pocket half the money for yourself, as well.

Either script will fit many different business models.

Hi Sid....

I'm not familiar with the RAP scripts, but it seems to be very similar to the 7 dollar secrets scrpt?

Anyway, how do you deal with refunds?

[globalpro]

RAP is far from the $7 script. Too many features to try and list.

Refunds are made by whoever got the sale, whether it is the vendor or affiliate. A lot of the time, the buyer will contact the vendor, who then contacts the affiliate and asks them to honor it.

If the affiliate won't (very seldom happens) RAP allows you to ban them from future sales..

Thanks,

John

[azizkasam]

Sales go like this:

One to the affiliate

One to you

One to the affiliate

One to you

if you want to reverse it

At the end of function getPaymentEmail (in index.php) are the following lines of code:
Code:

if($percent > 0 && $affper<=$percent){
# Give OTO to affiliate.
$email = urldecode($_COOKIE["aff"]);
}
else{
# Give OTO to vendor.
$email = $sys_default_email;
}


In my copy of the source, the above lines of code begin at line 216.

If you change the first line of that code to:
Code:
if($afftotal>0 && $percent > 0 && $affper<=$percent){


sales will go to the affiliate only on second and subsequent sales.

but $7 script is great for newbies because it costs only $7 or you can get it free in some giveaway and RAP is very expensive option at $197...
