The-Affiliate Landmine was created by Russell Brunson, to help affiliates crush the competition by giving them a bunch of different “landmines” to set to make money on-line.
At first I thought this was a bit “too easy”–one of those “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” things. However, I was quite surprised, and impressed, with the site.
First, when you sign up you are joining a monthly program. Every month you get a variety of “landmines”, which are basically different products that are already created, for you to either give away, sell, or “set”–meaning, you have full resale rights for all the products, you can just simply give them away (for instance, to get people to sign up for your newsletter), or you “set” them so they show up instead of a 404 error page or to capture exit traffic.
One great thing is that each and every one of them come with all the sales material you need, and you can even resell resale rights on many of them.
One big drawback I thought of immediately was for the “newbie” or the “technically challenged”: when I first saw the sales letter, I couldn’t really figure out how I personally would use them, and then once I had an idea, I had no idea how to actually get them up and going. But Russell Brunson took care of that as well by creating 48 (or so) videos to walk everyone, step by step, into how to use them and get all of your stuff up, live on the internet. So even though I was definitely new to this, the videos made it really easy.
I figured for only $19.95 I would check it out. Russell Brunson has a really good reputation in the market, and I think he prides himself on creating great products. This one certainly works well.
Two other things to note:
1. Every month new landmines are added, with new sales material and all. HOWEVER–the downside is that each month when the new landmines are posted, the old ones are taken down, so you have to make sure that you download everything each month so you don’t lose it.
2. They have added about 10 “secret extra bonuses”–these are unadvertised, and look to be pretty good.
I’ve already had an increase in subscriptions to my other site just by giving away one of these landmines for free, and am in the process of setting up the sites for a few of the other landmines that I really like.
All in all, I think it’s one of the better deals out there. While it’s not a “traditional” affiliate program (where you’re promoting someone else’s product and just getting a commission check), it still is an affiliate program because you’re reselling someone else’s product. The good thing, though, is that instead of just getting a commission, you’re getting the full sale amount on the product.
One other thing to note: if you have a merchant account already, you can use that to sell your products. But if you don’t want to pay to set up a merchant account, you can actually sell all of them with just a PayPal account. If you don’t have one, you can sign up for free here at PayPal.
Well, that’s it for now. If you’re interested, you can click here and check it out! And then let me know what you think!
