At PowerKeys Publishing, I've set up numerous performance bonuses to reward super affiliates. And in November and December, commissions are 10% higher!
Base commissions are normally 40%, yet for the next 2 months, base commissions are 50%, even on physical products.
Here's the breakdown: (special commissions in parenthesis)
Base commissions: 40% (50%)
After $350 in sales: 45% (55%)
After $750 in sales: 50% (60%)
After $1,500 in sales: 55% (65%)
After $3,000 in sales: 60% (70%)
After $7,000 in sales: 65% (75%)
After $15,000 in sales: 70% (80%)
We have products ranging from $15 to $97, and all focus on self-help and the Law of Attraction, both of which are very popular themes this year. Furthermore, our products get high ratings from our customers, and we have return rates less than 2%. (Actually, on our main entry product, we've had zero returns from over 1000 sales.)
About a month ago, I decided to record one of my live workshops to use as a recorded product that could be offered to folks all over the world. This was to help those who learn best from listening rather than reading, or needed a more focused approach to the material.
While we got a technically good recording, I quickly realized that it would not make a good audio product. Partly because the group I had at that workshop didn't need certain elements explained in depth, and we skipped over those parts to make the experience more powerful for them. Another reason was that once I edited out their questions and comments (to preserve their privacy), what was left didn't make as much sense.
So I decided to do a presentation specifically for the recording. Initially, I expected to just go over the material again and the whole project would be done in 2 days or so.
Although this may work for some folks, I wasn't happy with my presentation. Maybe it was because I didn't have an audience to work with. Maybe it was because I was more concerned with how much time each session took. Whatever it was, I knew it needed more work.
This coming weekend is one of many holidays around the world. Here in the US, we celebrate our status as an independent nation where we can choose for ourselves how we will be governed.
And this is one reason I selected July 5th as the "official" publication date for my new book, Choose To Believe.
The powerful information in this book allows ANYONE to choose for themselves how their lives will be governed.
When I wrote Choose To Believe, I knew that I wanted to do something special for my readers. It turned out that I created an offer to get my previous 5 products on a CD-ROM for nothing more than basic S/H fees. In the rush to get the book "out there", the creation of the bonus CD was scheduled for a later time.
In an author's career, there are certain events that mark significant stages of the journey. Completing your first manuscript, seeing a final cover design, holding a final copy of your book, and seeing it for sale in an established retail channel.
In days past, the established retail channel used to be just bookstores, but these days it includes big name websites too. While my work has sold fairly well from my own websites these past few years, there's something different about having it available from one of the biggest bookstores in the world.

Amazon just received the first shipment of books yesterday, and few know it's available. However, over the next few weeks, a lot of folks will know about it, and we're planning a big celebration event for the official publication date, which is July 5th.
