DealDotCom - Affiliate Marketing and Promotional Offers

First, what is DealDotCom? It’s a free-to-join membership website that will sell internet marketing products at a discount. People with internet marketing products will take them to DealDotCom and offer them at substantial discounts. DealDotCom will then offer these products to its membership and take a commission on all sales.

That commission will be shared with its affiliates who will make money on a 2-tier basis. If someone you refer to DealDotCom makes a purchase, you get 35% of the commission. If someone you referred to DealDotCom refers someone else to DealDotCom and they make a purchase, you get 15% of the commission.

So the key questions are: how much could you make and is it worth getting involved?

Let’s make an educated guess at some numbers.

Suppose a product sells for $30 instead of $67 and that the vendor offers a 50% commission. DealDotCom will make $15 a sale.

1st tier affiliates will make $5.25 and 2nd tier affiliates will make $2.25.

Assuming a conversion rate of 2% which is slightly above the norm but could be expected because of the steep discount, and assuming you have 200 people below you who you’ve referred, 50 at tier 1 and 150 at tier 2, how much money would you make?

Total sales to your downline would be 4 units: 2% of 200. 1 of these would make you $5.25. The other 3 would make you $6.75 (3 x $2.25). Total income therefore would be $12.

Now if DealDotCom intends to announce deals daily our estimate is that you would make around $4,300 a year in this situation. Not bad.

To achieve this sort of income you’ll need to do 2 things: sign up with DealDotCom which you can do via clicking here and start promoting it.

But let me also deal with the question of discounts. Why would a product vendor be prepared to offer such a big discount to DealDotCom?

The answer is because of DealDotCom’s distribution power. It is highly likely to be able to drive large amounts of sales because it is building a huge network of people in its database who are known to be interested in internet marketing products. Most internet marketing products are information products and hence the cost of delivery and production is effectively zero which means that all revenues are profits. All a product vendor has to do is consider how much revenue he/she is losing by not promoting via DealDotCom before deciding to make the site a promotional offer it can’t refuse.

And we all benefit because products then become available at lower prices.
