Don’t get me wrong – I absolutely love ClickBank Pirate! It’s a fantastic service for affiliate marketing pros and newbies alike – they’re complete ‘done-for-you’ affiliate marketing squeeze page systems and autoresponder followup e-courses mean that all you have to do is send targeted traffic to each month’s new page to earn potentially huge affiliate commissions from ClickBank, and through both promoting their service and promoting some of the monthly packages I’ve had affiliate commissions from ClickBank every month since the ClickBank Pirate launch early last year.

But from my super-affiliate viewpoint there was always one flaw in their system – obviously not a big enough problem to stop me from being a member, but one that meant I haven’t promoted it quite as heavily as I could have…

The list you’re building through those squeeze pages isn’t your own. The good news is it’s used to push the product through followup e-mails all coded with YOUR affiliate link. You don’t need to set up the autoresponder, write the followup e-mails, etc – that’s all done for you. But when you want to move on and promote a different product or service, you’re starting from scratch again – you don’t have access to that previously-built list of prospects to send your next promotion to.

As I said, not a major problem – if you know how to drive traffic to the first site, you simply repeat that action to send them to the second site. And not having to set it all up and write all the e-mails compensates for it – but only to a point. To really grow your affiliate marketing commissions, you need to be building your prospect list, adding the new opt-ins this month to those you secured last month, etc. This gives you the long-term growth that leads to building a secure online income. But you do need income NOW while you’re building for that future, so ClickBank Pirate remains an important component in your affiliate strategies.

But yes, you DO need to be building your opt-in lists continually, building an ever-increasing number of prospects who’ve asked you to keep them aware of developments and new releases in your chosen niche(s). And that’s where Cindy & Soren have evolved their system they designed for ClickBank Pirate and fixed the situation with their new release, Affiliate Silver Bullets.

This time you have your choice – you can leave it all hosted with them and handle it the way ClickBank Pirate runs, or you can download some or all of your sites and host them yourself, building your list in your own autoresponder system instead. Since they’ve already done all the research, writing and creation for you, you simply upload it all to your Hosting4Marketers.com account, hook it into one or more of your autoresponders there and start driving that same traffic…

Unlike CB Pirate though, this system comes with a set number of sites as opposed to an ongoing service, and you can choose to take the OTO and download them all today or take the 7-month plan and pay for them as you download them over the next 7 months. So don’t be tempted to switch from CBP, use this one as a supplement to it instead – even use your ASB sites to build a list specifically to promote your ongoing CBP sites if you like.

But either way, be sure to add Affiliate Silver Bullets to your affiliate marketing arsenal today and adjust your strategies and plan of action to include them as both an additional source of affiliate commissions AND another tool to help you build opt-in lists – thus covering off the two main areas of affiliate marketing yet again.

Remember, the success of your online work-at-home business comes not from any one site or tool, but from building a number of new traffic resources, list-building resources and profit streams, all automated and integrated into a professional affiliate marketing business system. A system that should now include these powerful new Affiliate Silver Bullets!
