I also talk about Google’s Social Search, why we have a lifetime cookie, my Coffee Talk podcast this week with James Martell and I play a wonderfully written song for you by 2010 Pinnacle Awards Affiliate of the Year finalist, Eric Nagel entitled “Tribute to Matt McWilliams.” It is definitely the highlight of the podcast, unless you are one of the three winners I announce, that is.

Three days are in the books, but the best part of LEGACY Week III is saved for today-Sunday…well Monday.
Follow Us on Twitter (@LegacyAffiliate) for our LEGACY Week 3 Real-Time Tracker
Today is the last day to earn a $5.00 bonus for each sale and entries into the 200 Lincolns Drawing. Tomorrow, I will be drawing the name of the winner!
Every Sale Today Earns a $5.00 Bonus and an entry into the 200 Lincolns drawing. Every Tweet or Google Buzz mentioning @LegacyAffiliate and linking to this page earns an entry into the 200 Lincolns contest (max. 5 per affiliate). Every affiliate that signs up today and gets his/her links up by week’s end earns $5.00 and an entry (so be sure to use a deep link to this page through ShareASale and earn a 2nd tier commission).
Today also started the 65% Commission on sales of Learn & Master Ballroom Dance.
There has never been a better time to promote this course!
Use this link (just replaced !!USERID!! with your ShareASale User ID):
http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=32516&m=22286&u=!!USERID!!
And today-Sunday, you will earn a 65% Commission. Once you start promoting this course, you will see how great the conversions are and will continue to promote it.
But that is not the best part…
If you make just five (5) sales of Learn & Master Ballroom Dance through Sunday, I will PERMANENTLY raise your commission on the course by 5% - that is a LIFETIME commission increase!
And even more great news…
Beginning tomorrow, sales of Learn & Master Painting through MONDAY will earn you progressively more money. One sale earns a $5.00 bonus, two sales earns an additional $10.00 bonus, and so on as the chart below shows you.
| Sales | Bonus |
| 1 | $5.00 |
| 2 | $10.00 |
| 3 | $14.00 |
| 4 | $17.00 |
| 5 | $20.00 |
| 6-8 | $22.00 per sale |
| 9-10 | $23.00 per sale |
| 11-15 | $24.00 per sale |
| 16+ | $25.00 per sale |
So 20 sales earns you $423.00 in bonuses! 30 sales earns $673.00 in bonuses!
But again that is not the best part…
If you take advantage of this promotion and make just 16 sales of Learn & Master Painting, not only will I give you at least $323.00 in bonuses (that’s over $20.00 per sale in bonuses), I will also increase your commission on future sales by 5% as well. Again, that is a LIFETIME commission increase!
So LEGACY Week III continues to get better and better!
If there is anything I can do to help you reach these milestones, just let me know and I am here to help!
And don’t forget about the awesome weekend during LEGACY Week 3 - there are easily over $3400 in cash, bonuses, and extra commissions available in total.

Posted by Matt McWilliams in Bonuses on May 17th, 2010
LEGACY Week III has officially begun!
Already today, affiliates are earning $5.00 bonuses for making a sale, tweeting or Google Buzzing about the week, or signing up and sending me their links. Many affiliates are using ShareASale’s new License Plate links feature in their social media to refer other affiliates to the LEGACY Week 3 Hub Page, which will earn them a 2nd tier commission.
As a reminder, today and tomorrow there are three ways to make a $5.00 bonus and/or earn entries into the 100 Lincolns Drawing.
The 100 Lincolns drawing is a drawing for $500 cash!
1. Every Sale Today Earns a $5.00 Bonus and an entry into the 100 Lincolns drawing.

On Tuesday, all of those are TRIPLE, in honor of Elvis Presley’s three Grammy’s. So, the $5.00 bonuses are $15.00 and the one entry becomes three entries.
The Gettysburg Address and Affiliate Marketing
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Bonuses on May 13th, 2010
:Did you know? 
The Gettysburg Address is only 269 words long
There are two tie-ins here for affiliates.
FIRST, There is a great lesson for affiliate marketers. Be short. Be sweet. See my post on language lessons from Frank Luntz and George Orwell for more on the importance of this.
The people on your site don’t read more than 18% of what you write on a page anyway, according to web usability expert Jakob Nielsen. That is pretty disheartening for someone like myself who takes pride in writing well thought out articles, editing them, and then proofreading them seven times.
Take a lesson from Lincoln and from Luntz and Orwell. Generally speaking, the shorter the better. Use:
- bullet points
- bolding
- italics
- colors
to point out the most important things (see, I used all four :)). And chances are you can cut out around 30-50% of what is not bolded, underlined, italicized, bulleted, or otherwise made more prominent. Most people aren’t going to read it anyway.
SECOND, You can earn almost $2.00 for every word Lincoln spoke next week.
The Monday of LE
GACY Week III on ShareASale is all about Abraham Lincoln.
As a reminder:
There are THREE ways to earn a $5.00 bonus Monday and/or entries in our 100 Lincolns drawing (that’s $500.00!).
1. Every Sale Monday Earns a $5.00 Bonus and an entry into the 100 Lincolns drawing.
2. Every Tweet or Google Buzz mentioning @LegacyAffiliate and linking to this page (http://www.learnandmaster.com/affiliates/legacy-week-003.html) earns an entry into the 100 Lincolns contest (max. 5 per affiliate).
3. Every affiliate that signs up Monday and gets his/her links up by week’s end earns $5.00 and an entry into the 100 Lincoln’s drawing (so be sure to use a deep link to this page through ShareASale and earn a 2nd tier commission).

LEGACY Week Three - Celebrity Edition
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Bonuses, Legacy News on May 11th, 2010
LEGACY Week 3 is almost here and this time there is a celebrity theme! 
LEGACY Week 3 will begin next Monday, May 17 and run through Sunday May 23 (well sort of…read below for more details). Each day of LEGACY Week represents a letter in the word LEGACY (”L” for Monday, “E” for Tuesday, and so on - “Y” is the whole weekend). For LEGACY Week 3, each letter represents a well-known person from the worlds of entertainment, politics, music, art, and sports.
During the first LEGACY Week last year, we gave away over $500 in bonuses. During LEGACY Week 2.0 we gave ShareASale affiliates over $2,300 in bonuses.
My conservative estimate is that LEGACY Week 3 will be responsible for giving $3400 in bonuses, but I am hoping that it will do even better!
Below are the highlights of LEGACY Week 3. You can find all of the details on our LEGACY Week 3 Hub Page, which has all of the ways that you can earn some big bonuses.

About the Both Sides of the Track podcast: What do you get when an affiliate development manager and an affiliate do a podcast? Views from both sides of the tracks. It’s the same issues, but rarely seen in the same way. ShareASale’s Jason Rubacky and affiliate Eric Nagel host.
