Stealing affiliate marketer souls at the crossroads

King of Hell/King of the Crossroads
Next year, I’ve decided to create a product just for affiliate marketers.
Not only do many of my “Email Players” subscribers report beating other affiliates with bigger names and lists than them, but over the years my methods have helped me spank a lot of affiliates with bigger names and lists, as well.
Examples?
Where do I begin?
When I promoted Ryan Leveque’s original Survey Funnel product, I beat much better and more brilliant marketers than me handily — and that was sending only a few emails that weekend. If I’d gone hardcore Ben Settle (like I’ll be doing this coming weekend for another product I'll be selling as an affiliate) the results would have been nutzo. In fact, I remember one of them joking on Facebook that he officially disliked me after that, and it was “much like a schoolyard bully dislike, but much creepier”.
Then there was the great Brian Kurtz's Titans of Direct Response.
(Which I’ll be talking a lot about soon, not-so-coincidentally.)
I beat everyone (including many big names you would instantly recognize) except GKIC who beat me by just 4 or 5 sales, if memory serves. But, in context, their list is over ten times bigger than mine so there's that.
Then there were the promos I did to sell the late, great Scott Haines’ course.
(I remember him being shocked at the sales both times.)
And Danny Iny’s online course builder product (where he said, “you're over double what our average partner does... which is already pretty good. So damn, buddy!”)
And Ken McCarthy’s copywriting course (I nabbed $28 per click, and the emails were so successful he wanted to license them for other affiliates, which, unfortunately, didn’t work out since the emails were so heavily “me” based and couldn’t be used by anyone else, such is the nature of my email methodology)
And, the list goes on.
In most cases, I was competing against way smarter, more seasoned, and, frankly, better marketers than me. (Certainly way more successful financially than Yours Slackey, with more solid businesses in place.)
But, they simply didn’t stand a chance against my sneaky affiliate ways.
My competition with them is not unlike Crossroads King Crowley's quote above...
All right, enough self propping.
Bottom line is, an affiliate marketing product will be out sometime in 2018.
It’ll likely be very expensive, too.
And, it’s my goal for it to help a lot of “little marketers” steal the lunch money of a lot of “big marketers” — or at least put a dent in the big marketer’s sales — during affiliate contests and promos.
We shalt see…
