Rapid Action Profits Discount

(Scroll to the end to find out how to get your discount.)

As an early adopter/owner of Jonathan Leger’s 7 dollar script, I grew to like this easy way to get money deposited into my Paypal account ready for me to use.

After I set up a couple of products on the premier $7 Scripts directory I was regularly surprise by paypal notifications of payments received. Often, what had happened was that a marketer had sent some traffic over to that directory in the hope of making some sales. Those people saw my products and purchased them as well as the upsell, resulting in some nice cash for the promoter and me via the backend.

Too many times, however, I had to field emails from people who paid for the product but could not download it. Some were downright irate.

I remember one guy sent me what seemed like 20 emails all in the space of just a few minutes claiming that everything under the sun was a “scam” because he didn’t get the download. Needless to say I did my best to pacify him and restore some little faith in humanity.

Finally I decided enough was enough and decided to use Rapid Action Profits instead.

Here are some things that appealed to me about Rapid Action Profits and may help you make your decision:

  • Improved reliability over the $7 Script.
  • I didn’t have to set up the script for each different product. You can manage all your offers from one control panel. Huge time-saver.
  • It incorporates a SQL database. While the $7 script is great for you if you don’t want to mess with SQL, if you’re serious about marketing, a proper database is much more scalable. It’ll allow you to grow without growing pains.
  • I could import my $7 script sales info into the RAP database if I wanted.
  • The development of the product keeps on going. I remember when RAP was first offered and I ignored it. You could have gotten it for a few bucks and all future upgrades for free. Sid keeps adding useful features to the product - the value and the price keep going up. The guy doesn’t mess around.

These were just my core considerations for using this product to manage digital product delivery, affiliates and joint ventures. When you visit the page you’ll see all the heavy lifting that RAP can do for you.

So, if you are interested in rapid Action Profits , check it out here. Another thing to consider is that, if you buy through my affiliate link, I’ll install it for you for free if you think you’ll have challenges (it’s easy but if you just hate to touch tech stuff I’ll do it for you. With my tech background it’s a breeze. Just post a comment here with your email address and let me know you purchased through this link.)

Oh - I almost forgot the point of this post. Here’s how you get the huge RAP discount. Go here. Look for the Frog. Click on the frog.

Instant Cash Generators

Anyone who feels stuck for online business ideas (some offline ideas too) and wants to get the creative juices flowing should check out Instant Cash Generators.

Name’s a bit hypey for my liking, but the premise is that a lot of the ideas can be implemented using PayPal as your payment processor and you’ll get those payments directly into your account.

This is a nice departure from promoting affiliate products through Clickbank or Commission Junction or other affiliate networks where you have to wait for your monthly check.

Anyway, check it out - Instant Cash Generators.

The Prospect of Upgrading This WordPress Blog Is Scary

No, I’m not a technophobe.

I’m actually a techie… I’m really tempted to say ex-techie because the word conjures up sordid memories of multiple pagers strapped to my side all going off with numbers for hand-wringing, hypertensive IT directors.

The real problem is - I’m just not feeling like a big adventure right now and if I break this blog it’s likely to suck hours of time that I don’t really have just to fix it.

So why bother? Well, I guess I’m a little greedy.

There’s a nice new plugin that I was introduced to by Dennis Becker  - it’s called Comment Luv.

What makes this plugin so desireable is that it provides a really cool link back to the latest blog post for the commenter.

For some reason it’s not picking up this blog’s feed. I was thinking that an upgrade might solve the prob with the feed being picked up.
It should work fine here going the other way though. If you comment I expect you’ll get your link back.

Or the blog may go up in flames.
Anyway, if you have your own  blog, try it out. I think you’ll like it.

Or at least the idea.
