What ya think of my twist on it?

http://www.amessagetoafriend.com

I love purchasing products via affiliate links, especially if I know the person who is promoting it. And, I figure, what goes around comes around. I would want someone to purchase through my link in the future as well so I try to keep the good karma flowing!

Well said Jen…. I agree 101%

I actually bought this a few days ago before I saw your recommendation of it.

Actually, when I see that someone whom I have learned to trust online like Lynn is an affiliate for something, I go out of my way to make sure that my sale is attributed to that person so that they will get the commission.

Pretty much spot on; I guess when your into affiliate marketing and know abit about the industry, and you’ve another affiliate marketer trying to sell you something, you end up being left a little sceptical about the review, and the reviewers ajender behind it.

Please believe me when I say there was no intention to offend, or any malicious intent behind my comment; hell, it’s a common problem us affiliate marketers have to face day to day when promoting products through our website – portraying a truthful and unbiased opinion on a product we feel others can benifit from.

None the less, im surprised you posted my comment, and it’s certainly increased my trust in the honesty of your reviews

…why it is that you are hesitant about buying Info Products through affiliate or referral links?

Though I’m not Joe, I believe I can shed some light onto his mentality. Some people are cynical, especially when it comes to IM related products, because some marketers will simply say a product’s good just to get the commission. In other words, the review no longer seems impartial.

However, I agree that if a marketer finds something useful and she enjoys it enough to recommend it, then she should also be entitled to the kickback from it. It’s no skin of the customer’s nose because she’ll be spending the same amount for the product regardless of whether it’s a straight or affiliate link.

This really goes back to reputation and whether a marketer is known for recommending good products/services or just shilling for more money. I think you fall into the former category Lynn.

Now, regarding the download links not working, I believe the problem was actually clicking the return to merchant link instead of allowing PayPal to redirect you after the sale.

If I’m not mistaken, there is an IPN set up and when PayPal auto-redirects you (i.e. you don’t click a link), it sends along some information about your purchase so you can view the download link. When I tried to access the Thank You page again in a different browser, I was greeted by a blank screen.

So, if anyone should come across this, purchase, do not click the return to merchant link. Allow PayPal to redirect you.

For those of you already put out, sorry I can’t be more help.

Same problem: ” I purchased the book now where do you download it? After clicking on return to merchant it took me straight back to the sales page. ”

I booked a ticket at http://www.askjonleger.com/ . Still waiting to get the link to download my copy of $7 dollars ebook!

Any latest solution with you?

When you go through the PayPal order process, the confirmation page had a link to return to the sellers site. That would have taken you to the page with the download link.

But you are not alone in reporting a problem, so there must be an issue on his end…

I think Jon uses a php script to make sure you get the download link, the info on the confirmation page, and the free scripts that you need. I believe the best way to get in touch with him regarding this is at http://www.askjonleger.com/ . That is the address he has listed on 7dollarsecrets.com for questions and support.

Keep me posted

Best,
