Temporary ShareASale Error Yesterday

Posted by Matt McWilliams in Affiliate Marketing News on September 3rd, 2010

You probably got the email from CEO Brian Littleton yesterday, but in case you missed it, here is an email from him regarding a temporary error on ShareASale yesterday.

This afternoon we launched a new “Get Links” page that was to make downloading links from the ShareASale interface easier.

Unfortunately, there was a bug that affected some Text Links. If you did not download any new Text Links today - this issue will not affect you.

If you did download a new Text Link today, please make sure that the URL given to you contains traditional ShareASale tracking information and is in the format of Http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=111&b=111&b=111 as opposed to a direct link such as http://www.shareasale.com

If there is any doubt about links that you downloaded today, please contact me directly or simply download a new version of the link from our interface.

I apologize for the unfound bug - and will make sure that the next time we release this page, it is certified 100% bug-free.

Thanks for your understanding,

Brian Littleton

Introducing the Silvertone SD50 - Greg Bennett Guitar Sold Out!

Posted by Matt McWilliams in Legacy News on July 27th, 2010

A quick note to all of our affiliates promoting our Greg Bennett guitars. We have sold out of every single one of them!

Silvertone SD50 Acoustic Guitar

That’s right, we sold a ton more than we expected, so we had to find an alternative.

The Greg Bennett guitar has been replaced on our site by the Silvertone SD50. It is a precision instrument, priced like a “starter guitar.”

The links to the Greg Bennett page redirect now to the Silvertone Page which can be found at this link:

http://www.learnandmaster.com/guitar/pages/silvertone-guitar/

Learn & master guitar and silvertone sd50 guitar bundle

The Silvertone SD50 is a great buy when bundled with Learn & Master Guitar

You can deep link to this page using the “Create a Custom Link to a Page” in ShareASale. Not sure what a custom link is or how to build it? Watch the video below.

Our datafeed has been updated to reflect the change as well.

The price for the Silvertone SD50 is the same as the Greg Bennett, $199 by itself, or $339 with Learn & Master Guitar. It can also be bought for $67/month for three months or $113/month with our Learn & Master Guitar course for three months in our payment plans.

Silvertone SD50 Features:

Full Size Steel String Dreadnought
Natural Solid Sitka Spruce Top
Striped Mahogany Back & Sides
Abalone Type Sound Hole Rosette
Snow Flake Fingerboard Inlay
Bound Rosewood Fingerboard & Bridge
Gold Precision Grover Tuning Machines
Available in Natural finish

More details on our Silvertone SD50 page.

This guitar, especially when bundled with our Learn & Master Guitar course is a GREAT buy and a great promotional tool.
