The new rage in the Internet Marketing world seems to be the “Instant Commission” affiliate sites. With instant commission affiliate sites, you basically signup for a site’s given affiliate program and begin promoting their products, which are programmed to give you a set commission rate, usually between 50% to 100%. However, instead of waiting for commission checks or commission payouts, you get paid instantly to your Paypal account.
Some people get confused about what “instant commission’ means, so let’s break it down.
A site offering instant commissions generally has numerous digital products to offer, and as an affiliate, you are assigned a specific URL to promote the given product you have chosen. For the purpose of example, let’s say the commission rate on your selected product is 50%. When you send potential customers to your URL, 50% of those customers are going to pay YOU directly via Paypal for their product, yet the delivery of the product and all customer service after the sale is handled by the sponsoring “instant commission” site. Generally you, as the affiliate get the first sale, and the sponsoring site would get the next sale and this rotation would continue for the life of your promoting that product. Some sites may reverse the pay order meaning they get the first sale and you get the second and so on, but the premise is the same.
Many of these “instant commission” sites will charge the affiliate a membership fee for the opportunity to promote their products and justify this fee with the fact that they are hosting the sales sites, delivering the products and providing customer service. But increasingly, more and more of these sites are offering FREE membership, such as our favorite, GetInstantPayments.com ( http://www.getinstantpayments.com/members ). Many of the products at GetInstantPayments.com offer 100% commissions all paid directly to your Paypal account.
Now one may ask, if they are offering 100% commissions then how do they make any money or cover their operating costs? The fact is, many of these product sales sites are programmed to present the buyers of the original product promoted with a One Time Offer before going on to download their originally purchased product. Typically, this offer consists of an expanded version of the product they purchased, a bundle of related products at a huge discount, or even Personal Label or Master Resale Rights for the product they’ve purchased. This One Time Offer is generally priced at the same or slightly higher price as their originally purchased product. Now it’s not a given that all customer will take this One Time Offer, but even at lower conversion rates, the sales realized by the instant commission site allows them to cover their costs and make some profit overall.
One of the liabilities of promoting instant commission products is that for those sales that YOU are paid directly for, you are also responsible to handle any refund requests and/or Paypal disputes. However, don’t let that scare you away from instant commission sites. If you put things in the right frame of mind, it’s no risk at all. Remember, you’ve been paid for a product or service that you did not have to provide, which means you had no overhead to begin with. Our suggestion is to hold an amount equal to one or two sales in your Paypal account to cover the occasional disgruntled customer.
There is actually a little known (or at least overlooked) Paypal policy that in effect guards you against ever being REQUIRED to refund a customer for an instant commission digitally delivered product. In the case of digitally delivered products, Paypal WILL NOT investigate dispute issues. Therefore, as the “seller” in a given case, you need only escalate the complaint to an official Paypal dispute and it’s “game over”, the buyer loses and you as the seller are not required to refund. Now we are not telling you this to “screw” buyers with a valid complaint. You, as the seller should try to do everything you can to make the buyer happy, or at least have the instant commission site’s customer service intervene for you to make the buyer happy. The last thing you want is to get a bad name over what in the scheme of things was “free money” to begin with. But you do need to be aware of and safeguard yourself from the “deadbeat” buyer that’s simply looking to boost a free product, and this avenue does just that.
In the end, the advantages to promoting products for an instant commission program are very desirable for those trying to earn some extra money online or even a full time income. There is no overhead, no product acquisition costs, no need for a website or website hosting, and no costs for web design. About the only costs you will have is those that you CHOOSE to incur for things like advertising and promoting.
It’s a win win. The affiliate earns instantly available revenue, while the instant commission site/product owner builds an army of happy affiliates and earns some profit on the back end sales.
