Easy Redirect Script Review

I recently watched a video about Affiliate Marketing by Russell Brunson that really touched a nerve. It was a short presentation but the presentations style was highly effective. In this video, Russell Brunson stated “That 97% of affiliate marketers make less than $157 per month”.

That’s shocking!

Now there are many reasons why Affiliate Marketers are NOT earning significant commissions.

One reason is that they are NOT properly cloaking and tracking their affiliate links and this makes them very vulnerable as the following story illustrates…

I was promoting a product by a well-known Internet Marketer. It was an excellent product. It had a great sales page. The price point was right. It had great bonuses. Naturally, I bought the product myself and found it was as easy to use as the promo videos demonstrated.

So I promoted the product and made sales. My EPC while certainly not as high as the top affiliates, they were consistent. Then, just before the first affiliate commissions were due to be paid my account went blank. There was no record of any clicks, no record of any sales – just a row of zeros.

I stared at my affiliate dashboard aghast because this money had been earmarked for a very special project. My heart felt heavy. Then I raised the first of many tickets to customer service. I eventually got paid but the experience left me rather disillusioned.

Now I don’t know if what happened to me was deliberate or accidental but in an interview on how to win affiliate contests I heard Willie Crawford say:

“…all affiliate tracking software is in some way flawed and so whether it’s cookies being deleted or whether it’s just something in the query string…because of hiccups somewhere, a certain percentage of sales over time are not going to be credited to affiliates.”

This is why I like the additional reassurance that using Easy Redirect Script gives me. Using Easy Redirect Script I can quickly and easily set up a variety of cloaked links. and, while I may not be able to track the actual number of sales I achieve I can, at least, prove that I did indeed drive traffic to a particular website.

Also, by logging into one account I can review the performance of any or all of my affiliate campaigns.

It’s so important to be able to track the performance of your affiliate campaigns and to independently  maintain your own statistics. Failure to do this will result in your leaving money on the table and losing affiliate commissions for one reason or another.

And when you take into account that as, Russell Brunson says, most affiliates make “almost $0 per month” then you owe it to yourself to safeguard your commissions.

I said that I wanted to use the commissions from the aforementioned campaign for a special project. Well, because of the length of time it took me to resolve this matter I was unable to do so. And, this brings me to another reason why many affiliate marketers do not earn a significant income from their affiliate commissions.

They simply do not have a strong enough reason why and they do not think of affiliate marketing as a business.  But what if, as Russell Brunson asks, “…you HAD TO feed your family with nothing but your affiliate commissions?”

Then, I think it would be fair to say that you would do more to safeguard your affiliate commissions and boost your income. And with the variety of link cloaking tactics you have at your disposal with Easy Redirect Script plus the ability to monitor the number of clicks a particular campaign generates can certainly help you to achieve these goals.
