For those not in the know, ePN stands for eBay Partner Network. While eBay used to run an affiliate program through Commission Junction and Pepperjam Network, in the last year or two, those were closed down and the only way to become an eBay affiliate was to open an account with the eBay Partner Network.

eBay are constantly playing with things (often without proper testing before officially releasing an “update” to the system), which has annoyed many affiliates. Rather than paying a fixed percentage of a sale (as they used to), they now employ something called “Quality Click Pricing”. What this boils down to is the quality of your traffic determines how much you get paid in commissions. And who decides how good your traffic is? eBay. Could there be a conflict of interest there, perhaps?

I recently got an interesting email from a member of the ePN community. Apparently there was a conversation on the ePN forum where the new head of ePN asked for feedback, and 90 answers later from ePN members, still had not responded to any of them.

Anyhow, he pointed me to the Unofficial ePN Affiliate Survey, and invited me to sound off and be heard (I use the phpbay Pro and Auction2Post eBay plugins on some of my blogs). According to the site:

The eBay Partner Network (ePN) has been heavily promoting their new Quality Click Pricing (QCP) payout method since it started back in October 2009. In less than six months they have won two awards from other affiliate related organizations and they like to use their blog to profile specific affiliates doing well.

But do these awards and hand-picked affiliate profiles reflect the current overall opinion of ePN by their affiliates?

As an active ePN affiliate or as a professional affiliate marketer thinking about joining the eBay Partner Network, wouldn’t you be better served by knowing what experienced ePN affiliates think of the program?

This survey attempts to discover what current eBay affiliates think of the program as of 2010. Our hope is that the results will allow you to compare your opinions of the program to your peers and to allow those thinking about joining the eBay Partner Network to make an informed decision before committing valuable resources to the program.

So check out exactly what ePN affiliates think of eBay’s affiliate system (it makes interesting reading) and, if you’re an eBay affiliate yourself, record your own opinion.

I’ve just finished creating an updated video for promoting SiteBuilder Elite.

The video shows viewers what’s involved in setting up and building a site and how changing some settings can alter the look and layout of a site. The video also shows how the software automatically downloads articles to create content-rich sites.

You can promote SiteBuilder Elite with this video using the following link:
http://www.sitebuilderelite.com/Introduction?id=YOURID

You’ll need a Clickbank account to promote the software. Simply replace “YOURID” in the link with your own Clickbank ID/Nickname.

The link that appears below the video will include your affiliate id.

If you don’t have a Clickbank account, you can get one here.

Promote my SiteBuilder Elite software by adding a Peel Away Ad to your site. The ad can be in the corner of your browser, the corner of your page or in the corner of a box on your page as below.

You need to replace YOURID in the code snippet with your own Clickbank nickname.

If you don’t have an affiliate program, then you are missing out on thousands of dollars in profits. Affiliate Programs can bring in 4 to 5 to 6 and even more figures than a product without an affiliate program. Heavy earners know how important affiliate programs are and rewards those that promote your product.

Now I realize that you may not be adding an affiliate program to your product because you don’t know where to start.

Does this sound like you? Do you… know how to …

• Setup and list your sites on Clickbank & PayDotCom PLUS add your own order buttons to start making 100% pure profits?
• Upload your web files online so people can visit your site and buy YOUR products?
• Setup an affiliate program so people can join and promote your products?
• Convince marketers in your niche to join your affiliate program and promote your products?

Those are all big questions you need answers to, but if don’t know the answers – don’t feel bad because It’s not your fault…

Affiliate Army Profits is a series of 7 videos that will teach you how to overcome those hurdles. The videos are only $7, but that’s only for a week (till Sept. 23rd) at $7 Deals.

In the next couple of weeks you’ll start to hear a lot about GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities). No, it’s not another miracle health product. Kiosk are rebranding themselves and are launching a new all-in-one service that includes Kiosk Hosting, an Autoresponder, an Easy Video Producer Video service, and Hot Conference. If you’re familiar with these heavy-hitter internet marketing names – Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney, Frank Bauer – it’s the hosting company they (and most of the other big boys) use.

If you use my SiteBuilder Elite software, I can confirm that you can build SBE sites on their webservers (I’ve built a couple of sites already). IonCube is installed by default, so there’s no messing around with ini files and the like. Just upload your SBE folders and away you go. [If you just want a basic hosting service the Hostgator is still the way to go].

Ok, So Why Is THIS Opportunity Better Than 99.9% Of Others?
