If you haven’t heard about it, a new site has been set up that is designed to compete with Clickbank as a focal point of “instant commission” products for sellers. It’s called RAPBank.

This place is amazing if you’re an affiliate marketer.  All of the products there will pay you commissions instantly.  No more waiting for weeks or months to get paid!

It has been up for less than a week and there are already over 1000 registered users (affiliates) and more than 250 products.

A thread was posted on the RAP Forum recently addressing some guy who blogged about RAP, saying it’s a good sales platform but that it’s “easy to spoof”.

Actually, that’s not accurate.  The vast majority of patches issued for RAP have been designed to fix security holes, and are frequently issued less than a week after they’re discovered.

However, there are a number of things that people do, or rather, fail to do, that result in both “leaks” and upset customers.

Here are several things you MUST DO when setting up your RAP site to avoid problems:

• I wish people would stop blaming Obama for everything and place it where it belongs: with our elected officials and the special interests. #

Rapid Action Profits (RAP) is a terrific platform for building simple ecommerce sites when you only have one product to sell at a time.  It’s not a general “shopping cart” in that sense, but it does have all the features of a shopping cart — except it’s limited to only one product purchase at a time.

Someone in the RAP forum posted  a review by a guy who said this:

“What sucks: This software is extremely easy to spoof…”

In a way, this guy is right.

A better way to put it is:

In case you’ve been in a cave for the past few weeks, the biggest unkept secret of the year was the unveiling of Apple’s new iPad device last week. (In case you missed it, just go to http://apple.com and check out Steve Jobs’ keynote presentation.)

The Cliff Notes version of the announcement is this: the iPad is about 1/2″ taller and wider than a 6″ x 9″ book, 1/2″ thick, and it weighs in at a mere 1.5 lbs. It’s basically a larger version of the iPod Touch, with a VERY SHARP hi-res screen (1024×768 pixels at twice the pixel density of regular LCD monitors).

It will eventually ship in two basic versions: WiFi only or WiFi + 3G phone service.

I’m absolutely fascinated with this device. It has been getting tons of press, and pundits have had all kinds of cool and even silly things to say about it. Here’s my take on it…

This is the first of what I hope to be a series of posts regarding how to set up and run membership sites quickly and easily.

I’ve recently had the privlege of looking over an entire printed set of material that came from Jimmy D. Brown’s Membernaire course, and I wanted to share my thoughts about it.

I ran into someone at a meeting recently and we started talking about online marketing and what we did.  Things shifted over to membership sites, and he mentioned that he had completed the Membernaire course and thought it was great.  I’ve been aware of it for a while, but I’ve never actually talked with anybody who had been through it.
