Louis AllPort Changes Resale Rights Terms
If you're new here, join the community by subscribing to my RSS feed. Enter your name and email address to the form located at the top of each blog page for email updates. Glad to have your onboard!
I hate to get into a battle or a feud but you need to be aware of the changes to Louis Allport’s popular resale rights products. Louis Allport has been producing some of what I feel is the very best video ‘How To’ products to help you with creating a Google friendly web site through to ‘how to set up a memberships site.
Unfortunately for hundreds of thousands of customers who have purchased resale rights will no longer have the ‘right’ to sell them beyond December 14th 2007.
A partial quote outlined this:
“Please ensure you stop selling the reprint rights products listed on this page by that date, otherwise you will receive complaints from your customers as the products will no longer work. And again as mentioned past that date no one except private label rights holders will have the right to sell the products/content past that date.”
This will be a shock for current owners and distributors alike. It appears that Louis is setting up a brand new Private Resale Site. ONLY members of his new site will be have the exclusive rights to continue to sell his products.
Only time will tell what Louis has to offer in his new site. I really enjoy his work and feel it would be a shame for him to lose out on such a large number of loyal customers and affiliates trust because of this turnaround. I have not resold them but use them for private use. However I’m so glad I did not opt to resell them now after this news.

I’d advise EVERYONE to download the files (if you haven’t done so already) for your own use and instruct your customers to do the same.
It will be interesting to see how he will defend this drastic decision in the coming months.

How To Lose Your Credit Card Affiliate Commissions!
Looks like a lot of credit card affiliate program managers are paying out more in affiliate commissions than they are making themselves!
Why do I say this?
Well if you’re an active affiliate for any of the major credit card companies you will find that they have been cracking down on the KEYWORDS used in advertising. I personally believe the problem is that WE AFFILIATES are making good commissions and not just because of trademark or copyright issues.
I received an update from my credit card affiliate program administrative department with the following:
“…Please comply with this request immediately as we will be conducting audits in the coming days of our entire network. Non-compliance will result in withheld commissions.”
Sincerely,
The MakeMoneyWithCreditCards Team
The credit card industry is forever growing billion dollar industry and there are NO SIGNS of slowing down.
I can understand and feel it is reasonable to be prohibited from using the credit card companies domain name and even using a brand name before the words “credit card” is prohibited!
Well at least we can STILL use those two KEYWORDS, better not say that too loud, or else.
Being the owner of a membership site that gives practical information about securing the best 3rd party merchant accounts with many credible PayPal alternatives. I strongly emphasize how IMPORTANT it is to ensure that you keep well informed of all agreements and program policies so that you DO NOT breach your contractual agreement. This could lose your relationship with the company and worse still forfeit your entire earnings.
This is also the case with many credit card affiliate programs who many affiliates feel they are making it more difficult for affiliates to sustain their present referral income as they have to rethink and restructure their PPC marketing campaigns.
One way around this is to write articles with compelling content and a like back to your affiliate web site or a squeeze page so that you have way to follow up with potential customers. Again be very careful of the words you use in the body of your article.
If there is anything you are unsure of contact your affiliate manger and get it APPROVED first. Better to be well informed and maintain your affiliate status than to stand to lose all of your hard earned cash.
Has your PPC campaigns been affected by theses changes?

How To Get Back Your Reputation
I was reading an article over at LifeHacker entitled, How To: Reclaim your name online, and it brought me back to a separate article regarding Ten Ways To Clear Bad Press From Search Engine Results to retain the integrity of your online reputation. With all the many ways we use to for self promotion and networking it is easy to fall victim to some very embarrassing moments you would rather forget.
Have a read and check out the previous article using the link above.
Just a thought, when uploading you fun picture to your favorite social networking site of Flickr type web site if the images displays a less then flattering portrayal of yourself. Take time out BEFORE uploading them and come back to it at a later date. This alone could save you a lot of unnecessary grief and undue embarrassment that may haunt you for a very long time.
Take care,

P.S.
Your online reputation could be the key factor that gets you recognized by your target audience, employer or so keep a good image and present yourself in the way you want people to perceive you.
Seven Dollar Script and PayPal’s Response
Hi everyone,
I found it!
After looking through the stockpile of email in my inbox and I’ve finally found the official response to my post below:
Seven Dollars Got My PayPal Account Closed
Here’s a copy of the reply I received from PayPal
Response received June 8th 2007
“Dear Nancy P Redford,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your concerns. I am
happy to assist you further.
Regarding your query Ms. Redford about the use of your PayPal account to
receive payments from an affiliate product where the user would get 100%
commissions and after reviewing the example website you kindly provided
us (http://www.mycontactstation.com), we came to the conclusion that it
is not against our Acceptable Use Policy.
The reselling of this particular product does not fall into any form of
multi-level marketing programs, matrix, pyramid schemes (including,
without limitation, online payment randomizers), “Ponzi” schemes, “get
rich quick” schemes, “Autosurf” programs, High Yield Investment Programs
(HYIP), or other similar trading schemes.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Sincerely,
Acceptable Use Policy Department
PayPal, an eBay Company”
So that should be a clear indication that the amazing clever Seven Dollar script launched by Jonathan Ledger is ‘A OK’ to use. So people You’re good to go! 
Just send PayPal a message or phone them to check that all is well with any program you need approved and WAIT for their official response BEFORE adding payment buttons to your site. When you have written and verbal confirmation to go ahead.
Another dubious area people get confused about with the use of PayPal is for home business type programs. It is acceptable to use PayPal for the sale of products and services but you should not use it to receive enrollment charges for new members to your team. PayPal will most certainly close your account for this. Regardless if your program is not MLM based. This is yet another dubious subject which can easily conflict with your business. Better to be safe than sorry.
Remember just because someone else is doing it, doesn’t mean it’s OK. Stay informed and protect your own assets and integrity first. Besides you’re way beyond the age for playing “follow my leader” 
Stay safe online and keep on making money without risking termination of your credit card merchant accounts.
All the best,
Nancy P Redford
Are You Using Ebay’s Classified Ads Site?
Ebay have recently launched their own classified as site that is sure to be a hit for this HIGH TRAFFIC shopping site. I myself take it for granted when I use Ebay as one of my top three sites for searching for bargains. I have purchased many gifts and household items at Ebay for well below the sky high prices of retail shops.
Recently EBay launched its US classified ads site Kijiji.com, I know. what an unusal name to come up with. For us in the UK we have Gumtree.com, a little easier on the tongue to pronounce.
There’s so much to see and do here and its all FOR FREE!!
We have also seen sites like FaceBook launching classifieds ads which I am seriously losing into for my own benefit.
NEVER before can you say that you have no way to advertise your site and business.
The wealth of FREE classified ad placements and social networking sites makes self-promotion so much more easily accessible than ever before.
There is an abundance of opportunities so seize them, but use them wisely so that you keep within the TERMS of each classified ad site!!
Just a few days ago I received a message from someone using MojoPages “good hardwood floor installer in Del Mar, CA area”. This is not my area of expertise; however I am working on a way I can direct him to the right place to get help. You never know what may become of giving people honest reviews and feedback. Reciprocation is powerful medium so I may well hear back from him and other users over time.
Social networking and classified ads rock as far as I’m concerned.
Head on down to Ebay Classifieds and take a look around today.

2Checkout Surveys Users For Their Affiliate Program
It’s official, 2Checkout are asking YOU what you would like to see in their proposed affiliate program. They are responding to feedback from merchants to offer an integrated affiliate program so that sellers can have an affiliate program for their products and services managed through 2Checkout.
I’ve actually stopped using 2Checkout for digital products due to some security issues, which I will not go into detail here.
I prefer to use my own affiliate software which has excellent tracking features and I can manage everything in-house. I use the Ultimate Affiliate which is a very popular affiliate tracking software used by countless other webmasters.
Will you be enticed to join 2Checkout once their affiliate program is up and running?
Go and check out the discussion forum to find out what sellers/merchants want.

Happy Independence Day!
Happy Independence Day to all readers in the US and belated a Canada Day!
I know I am in the UK and you are celebrating your Independence from British rule but after all we are COUSINS 
Can YOU look at your current situation with your online business and state that you are free to work rest and play?
Have YOU FIRED your boss and given up on the daily commute to and from work?
Well all is not lost because perseverance and a marketing PLAN can help put you on the right track to fulfilling your financial goals!
Have you read the book, done the walk, talked the talk…
In other words HAVE YOU TAKEN ACTION?
Too often we tend to blame others or worse become discouraged by negative thoughts and people who may be jealous of your success or simply do not understand you. They will surely lead you further and further away from your dreams and goals.
Expect many ups and down and view it as a learning curve.
Each downfall is a lesson learned.
Just remember that timeless old military saying…
“FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!”
Make TODAY your Independence Day!
