Will you need a NO Phd in “BS” ?
You know, it’s not that long ago that Ron and I walked in your shoes, or some just like them.
You see, we don’t have a Phd in B.S., but what we do have is the sum of all of our successes and failures, and we are going to share these with you if you are willing to listen, and willing to learn.
You’ll find no hype, and no empty promises here. Just facts that will educate and motivate. I won’t tell you that it is “my way or the highway”. There are all kinds of excellent marketing methods out there. It will be up to you to decide the means that interests, motivates, and is successful for you.
We won’t leave you high and dry. We know that when you succeed, we succeed.
Each new member to 1stPromotion receives a copy of an “Income Accelerator Guide”, outlining exactly what they can do to promote their business on the web . We also provide you with the same resources that we use!
For a very limited time, we’re including a free copy of our “Idiot’s Guide To Web Marketing” , a HUGE 306-page lexicon ebook on everything you wanted to know about web marketing….and then some!
The “Idiot’s Guide To Web Marketing” sells every day on ClickBank for $47.00, but it is yours free when you join us. This is a great reference for any website owner, not just affiliate marketers.
If you know nothing at all about marketing today, don’t expect to “know it all” tomorrow…
Marketing can be a bit of an elephant to swallow, so keep in mind the old joke…
“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
If it seems overwhelming, put it down for a while push back from the table and revisit this later. If we can build up anything at all in you, let it be confidence!
You won’t catch me quoting web marketing “gurus” or success phenomenon here. While many of them are great, too many are great in their own minds only. I personally have been burned by too many “experts”, and had my wallet emptied by them more times than I care to mention.
The Internet is a daily learning experience. Even the most savvy of marketers must continue to learn on a daily basis. Happily, I am not savvy. I much prefer to be known as downright unpolished.
Yep, add a little hype and polish and I could retire sooner…. probably much sooner. However, I told my wife Donna not that long ago that “Yes, I want to be rich, but I want to be able to sleep at night too!” The tactics used here are not
“guerilla”, just “learned” common sense.
But wait you say…. you can’t learn common sense, it is just in you! Well, yes, you are right. But given the fact that there is too much hype, and too many claims about miracle products from too many self-proclaimed and virtually unknown gurus” and “marketing gods”, we have been amputated of our ability to use our common sense on the web. So, I like to call it a “learned common sense”.
When you are face-to-face, everyone has a built-in “B.S. filter” that will give off all kinds of warnings to warn you of high-pressure, questionable sales pitches. This BS filter allows you to make informed and knowledgeable purchases or commitments. On the web, though, we are frequently blinded to this “gut feeling”, and can’t use our common sense.
The speed and convenience of catch-phrases like: “Activate Your Account Now”, and “Put your payday on Auto-pilot!” have numbed our common sense’s ability to prevail.
If you could, you’d be hearing warnings going off on a lot of offers. What I mean by “learned” common sense is that I will basically allow you to borrow mine for a while.
Think of me as a B.S. filter for you. No, I won’t make the decisions for you, but I will try to show you the truth in what I have faced so far as far as opportunity on the web. A chance for you to learn from my mistakes.
I much prefer a “belly-to-belly” approach to doing any kind of business, but it is a little tougher when we are talking global neighborhoods. If at any time you feel you need assistance, drop me an email to rick@1stPromotion.com and I will
respond to you. Include your phone number and I’ll call you directly.
Remember what I mentioned about not quoting web marketing “gurus” or success phenomenon’s here? Well, it doesn’t mean I won’t be throwing the odd quote in here and there. Here’s one from a winner pretty much anyone in the world can identify with!
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan
What 1stPromotion Pro Is Not!
Ever try pushing a car with a rope? It just doesn’t work, but try pulling that car with a rope and it is a whole different book of possibilities. I am not saying you can pull it, I don’t know you and I don’t know your motivation.
Ron & I provide great resources and marketing tools with your 1stPromotion membership. We won’t leave you high and dry. As I stated above, we want you to succeed.
With the tools and shown how best to use them makes the whole “making money on the web” idea a lot more possible!
Looking for guarantees?
We have one, and its the best one in the business. 60 days unconditional, and you KEEP the tools, software, ebooks, and everything else. keep the whole lot!
How can we afford to offer such a guarantee? It’s easy. It’s because we have so few refunds! We are going to do out VERY BEST to make sure you are not just HAPPY with our product, we want you to be ELATED! We want you to tell all your friends so they will join us too! Get it? :>)
If you provide people the BEST tools available, you don’t need hype or bonuses. (we still offer bonuses too though!…just cause everyone loves a freebie or two!)
To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,
Rick & Ron Davies

How important is it to build your identity online?
You have seen a small sampling of how the the Pro2 approach helps you to maximize your income.
Let’s look at what building a brand on the web means, and the advantages of building brand identity.
McDonalds, Sears, Home Depot, Yahoo!, Ebay, Amazon. All of these stores and web sites have built their brand recognition to the point where they are all pretty much household names.
Having a brand, and promoting your site as a brand helps to build customer recognition and customer confidence. With so many websites out there, building your website around a catchy or memorable name will help your customers find you.
Promoting products as an affiliate is a great opportunity to make some serious money, but the affiliates that are serious about making money know the benefits of appearing to be an independent vendor for any given product.
This not only adds the look of exclusivity, it also builds confidence with your potential buyers that you are professional and gives you the “big company” look.
OK, I know that most of us can’t afford to hire a business identity professional to help us with this…so what can
the average Joe or average Joann do?
Building a brand and doing business on the web as that brand is extremely simple.
By owning your own domain name, and hosting your site independently of the main vendor you can build all of the benefits of brand recognition, buyer confidence and perhaps most importantly, help your customers find you the next time they are shopping!
Which of the following examples would you prefer to do business with?
Website Address:
http://www.1stpromotion.com/pro2/prosite1/index.php?id=cbshopper
Email Address:
Koochiekoo_baby_1967@yahoo.com
(this not a real email address :>)
or Website Address:
http://www.CBShopper.com
Email Address:
Rick@CBShopper.com
Both web addresses above go to the same website. Case closed. Pretty simple.
Owning a domain name can help anyone to build a brand. Also as shown in the example above, owning your own domain name entitles you to have a number of email addresses related to that domain name.
Sweet!
Branding on the web can also be extended into so many other aspects, but none will affect a web business more than the domain name. You don’t need to own a high-dollar domain name, but personalized or targeted to your niche can really
help you in your quest for success online.
Did you know: No one ever needs to know that you own a 1stPromotion Integrated Income System?
Why?
The unique branding ability of Pro2 allows you to;
- Use your own domain name;
- Host your site independently; (no affiliate web address)
- Custom email addresses;
- Use your own logo;
- Input your photo;
- Input your contact info;
- Your own featured products;
- and so much more!
Combine these features with our 6 different color schemes and your 1stPromotion web site will reflect you and your business identity, NOT ours!
Remember, the shorter and the more memorable the domain name the better!
To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,
Rick & Ron Davies

Maximize your affiliate profits.
Establishing an online income is very exciting. Imagine going to your postal mailbox to find a nice big fat check in it for your online efforts!
Now let’s bump that dream up a bit, and imagine that you go to your postal mailbox and find a nice big fat check for you online efforts EVERY DAY!
You can do it! Literally thousands before you have using this exact same method, and it works whether you are 18 or 88!
Did you know that right now, I receive about 30 checks from various affiliate networks each and every month. That’s like…getting a paycheck every day of the month!
Establishing “multiple sources of income” is one of the most exciting opportunities available.
Let us show you how easy it can be to do it!
Imagine getting a $100.00 check in the mail.
Not bad eh?
Now imagine getting 30 checks for $100.00 each.
Even better!
Now… if you imagine that some of those checks are four or five figures, you can see how we are talking very serious money.
It’s that old adage;
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”
Nothing better than having multiple baskets of golden eggs, is there!
DID YOU KNOW:
Not only is using the 1stPromotion Integrated Income System like signing up as an affiliate with every single vendor in the ClickBank Marketplace. There are dozens of other hot affiliate programs and products built right into the Pro2 system that you may choose to join to really explode you monthly revenue, all from the same site!
Remember that idea of a paycheck each day? Sounding more like a reality isn’t it?
These are just some of the great affiliate programs integrated into the Pro2 system:
- SFI - Strong Future International (formerly Six Figure Income)
- TrafficSwarm
- Bryan Winter’s Push-Button Publishing
- IMC Internet Marketing Center (brainchild of the late Corey Rudl)
- Ken Evoy’s 5 Pillar Program (SiteSell & more)
- Native Remedies
- NitroMarketing
- Dropship Wholesalers
- Veretekk
- and many more!
Here’s a neat feature! If you are a member of a great affiliate program, simply use our “Suggest A Product” or “Suggest A Program” link and we’ll add your affiliate program to the directory!
And when we join, we join through YOUR link.
If your affiliate program is a 2-tier program, just imagine how many second tier members you can gain by simply submitting your program and being approved!
Every single 1stPromotion member will then have the option to join your program right through the private Pro2 Member’s Area!

I don’t want to be a clone!
I bet you’re thinking; “So far this sounds exciting, but with a product this great, won’t my site look the same as thousands of other Pro2 websites out there? Isn’t this one of those “cookie cutter” sites the search engine at Google penalizes so severely, ruining any chance I might have of a good search engine position?”
Absolutely Not!
Although we do have thousands of members BUT, no two Pro2 sites are the same. Your site is one of a kind.
This again sets Pro2 apart from the sea of low-tech imitations that seem to be everywhere you look. We were the first, and are still the #1, and for good reason :>)
Why? Because as a Pro2 member, you have complete control over the entire content of your store.
This is in stark contrast to other ClickBank malls which only offer a cloned “parking page” . We help you break out of the boring turnkey look and feel of those cookie cutter sites that seem to clutter the web. Not only do you have total control over the look and feel of your site, but you also have total control over;
- ALL of the content; (Text and images)
- ALL of the Meta Tags; (These are for search engines)
- ALL of the products; (actual product images and descriptions at the click of your mouse) and
- ALL of the affiliate programs on your website.
We put it in a search engine-friendly package where each member controls;
- Over 2 dozen affiliate system ID’s;
- Page title;
- Store name;
- Page content;
- Color scheme;
- All links;
- Graphics & Images;
- Products;
- Affiliate programs;
- Meta keyword tags;
- Meta description tags;
- and much more.
If you love the idea of putting ClickBank and optionally over 2 dozen other affiliate systems like SFI, IMC, PBP and more to work for you, but don’t wish to promote certain products or product categories, the Pro2 System is the answer for you!
With Pro2 you can choose to display a ClickBank Simple Search Box, a complete ClickBank Marketplace Search Portal, or no search feature at all!
No Need To Display Categories Or Products That You Do Not Wish To!
Take a look at two sample sites below:
- View Demo Site#1 http://www.CBShopper.com General ClickBank Mall & Affiliate Portal
- View Demo Site#2 http://www.CBStore.com Specialty Store Targeted To AdWare/Spyware Removal
This means that if you wish to have a site about gardening, you can choose to ONLY display gardening products and services.
If you wish to promote survey sites, or work at home opportunities, you can choose to ONLY display relevant products and services.
Any niche, any subject. You have complete control!
To Your Health, Happiness & Prosperity,
Rick & Ron Davies
