Over the summer I’ve had a few subscribers send me invitations to join their downline in some internet MLM opportunity they’ve joined. And although I’m not absolutely against all MLM companies, I’ve declined every offer because…

I’ve tried MLM several times and failed with every one of them. And these were not brand new MLM businesses either. They were well established, had some really good products they manufactured and a couple of them even offered some decent training.

Unfortunately not everyone is cut out to be a MLM tycoon AND some MLM  business opportunities are just plain scams.

So today when I saw a Rosalind Gardner “honest review” video about a particular MLM opportunity I just had to share.

I totally agree with Rosalind that building an affiliate marketing business is much easier and less expensive than the mlm business model. However if you are considering building a mlm home based business I urge you to:

Avoid a MLM opportunity that:

• Requires a significant start up fee.
• Requires a reoccurring fee to use your replicated web site.
• Restricts you from using other internet business services like autoresponder providers other than the ones they require you to buy from them.
• Does not allow you to sell the products without requiring people to join into the “business opportunity.”

And of course due some research and investigate the company. If it’s a legitimate company with good products the opportunity shouldn’t disappear overnight or by next week. Here’s a good place to get some ideas on the things you should investigate.

Unless you’re brand new to online marketing and affiliate programs you have undoubtedly heard of Rapid Action Profits or RAP for short.

RAP started as an instant affiliate commission script and has grown through add-on software (that you have to purchase separately) to do a lot more including running a membership site. Because there are so many RAP users a RAP marketplace was started and you can join as a free affiliate and sell RAP users’ products.

So is RAP worth the almost $200 price tag? Find out when you read these honest reviews of the RAP script.

And you can read how its users think RAP compares to other types of merchant accounts.

Recently a RAP membership site package became available and there are a couple of reviews about this membership site script about halfway down the page.

Looks like RAP users think RAP is a good way to set up and run an affiliate program, accept payments and set up a membership site.

Here is more information about:

Rapid Member Plus (The membership site software)

RAP Marketplace (Free affiliate program to sell products offered by RAP users.)

P.S. To understand why I’ve included my affiliate link in this review read the explanation of the category.

With all the free Wordpress themes available you’re probably wondering if there’s even a market to sell Wordpress themes.

Well there is and there are 3 very popular ones for internet marketing blogs right now, Socrates, Thesis and Frugal.

Are they worth the money? Read the honest reviews for the Socrates Wordpress theme and the reviews for the Thesis and Frugal Wordpress themes before you decide.

From reading the reviews it looks like we have 3 winners here!

Here’s where you can get more information about:

The Socrates Wordpress Theme – Yea! A good Clickbank product!

The Thesis Theme for WordPress – A Shareasale product.

The Frugal Wordpress Theme – A self hosted affiliate program where affiliates can only get credit for the 1st sale to a customer. Not a good way to get happy affiliates.

Auto Traffic Avalanche was launched the first part of August, 2010 and is currently sold out however they are building a waiting list.

On August 29th I received an email from Andrew Stark that pointed to his personal review of the product.

This didn’t look good so I did some checking and here are other honest reviews of Auto Traffic Avalanche.

No affiliate link here and I don’t recommend you join the waiting list.

If you have already bought this product or any other Clickbank product you are unhappy with repeat after me:

Ask for a refund!     Ask For A Refund!     ASK FOR A REFUND!

BloggingToTheBank is a Clickbank product that has been around for several years and continues to be one of their most popular products.

However when I noticed my affiliate link no longer pointed to BloggingToTheBank I decided to see what was going on with Rob Benwell and his product.

Here’s what I found about BloggingToTheBank affiliate links.

Here are the honest review for BloggingToTheBank (from 12/15/2008 – 2/11/2010) and some more recent ones ( 7/27/2010 – 8/31/2010).

No BloggingToTheBank affiliate link for whatever Rob’s using it for this week.

And remember, Clickbank uses refunds as part of their algorithm for product popularity.

If you are unhappy with this or any Clickbank product vote it’s popularity down by requesting a refund!
