User Review: The Arbitrage Conspiracy free report tells you, in general terms, that you can pay for PPC (pay per click, like Google AdWords) to promote your affiliate landing pages offered by CPA (Cost per Acquisition) Companies, and the "arbitrage" part comes from the difference between your investment (what you had to ...Read More
*********************** UPDATED 12/12/08 *********************** Well, "What the..." was the first thing out of my month on Wednesday at noon when the Arbitrage Conspiracy was SUPPOSED to be launched.
(At this point in the internet marketing society, I almost don't even expect anything to open when it is supposed to!)
Finally, the doors opened yesterday (and right now, you can still buy the Arbitrage Conspiracy). Here are a few more details and questions that have come up since the last time I wrote...
1) How will this program work?
It is going to be a 12-week program; each week you will be presented with assignments and tasks to perform to create this incredible revenue source.
I like this strategy, personally. One of the biggest reasons people don't succeed at these online ventures is that they don't try or they get flustered with enormous amounts of information. This will help simplify things quite a bit.
(Though, you do want to start this soon so you won't fall behind!)
2) How much is this going to cost (gulp!)...
Actually, the price seems to fit the current model of $1997 (or you can split this into three payments of $737).
3) The Guarantee!
I thought this was quite aggressive, actually...You can request a full refund any time during the ENTIRE 12 week program.
And not only that, if you complete the program and even do what they say (and you can prove it by providing them logins and details to what they taught), they will even give you your full money back PLUS $500 more!
That is crazy.
4) How much longer can I buy this?
I don't know the exact answer to this one. I do know they have a limited number of resources (such as coaches, etc.) and the fact that this is a 12-week program, I cannot imagine that it will be offered for too much longer.
One more question...
5) I hear this is pretty advanced stuff for a newbie...
This still does involve some pretty state-of-the-art strategies, I gotta admit! But nothing about it is really difficult, but it does require a strict recipe of research, testing and management to make it work. You don't won't to miss a step here.
And realize that there is going to be some great information and strategy about using pay-per-click and affiliate marketing, in general, that will aid in ANY internet marketing venture (that includes eCommerce, social marketing, blogging, etc.)
(I know some of you are internet marketing information junkies...I am one of those myself...and this program is packed with just a lot of solid information!)
Get it and try it out! This product will not be on sale for very long (and really, you don't have much to lose at this point, with the "money-back-plus" guarantee!).

So the Arbitrage Conspiracy goes live in about an hour now (Noon PST) and I have received a lot of comments about the teleseminar that you may (or may
not) have listened to last night with Brad Fallon, Mike Filsaime, Eben Pagan,
Yanik Silver, Shawn Casey, Tellman Knudson, and Buck Rizvi.
If you missed the call, you can hear the archive at:
I know you may be on the fence right now and you probably have a bunch of
questions on whether to join or not.
Here are a bunch of the most common questions I have been getting:
**** What is a CPA Network? ****
A CPA Network (or Cost-Per-Action Network) is very similar to an
affiliate network. They are companies that recruit both publishers (or
affiliates) to market the "offers" of advertisers. I use the word "offer" here because this can be a sale, a lead (in the form of a
visitor filling in their information on a website), a click, or even an
impression.
Arbitrage Conspiracy focuses on the publishing side (though there
will be some valuable information for those who wish to be advertisers
in this program).
CPA Networks are free to join and "actions" are recorded through tracked links that the CPA Network would provide.
Let's say you sign up and your network ID is 12345. You would then
go through their listing of "Offers" and choose one you wish you send
traffic to. (example) So you choose an offer that will pay you $2-lead
whenever a visitor lands on THEIR website (through your link) and fills
out their first name, last name and email address. Yourlink is tracked
in the URL itself.
Example: Your URL could be http://www..com/landing_page.php?id=12345
Note that the end of this URL contains ?id=12345, which is your
tracking id. Of course, all CPA networks use different methods to
track.
**** When I Sign Up, It Asks for a Website & Company Name? ****
At the beginning, you will probably not have any website or company
created. This can usually be bypassed by creating a simple blog, for
example, at Blogger.com.
To set up a blogger.com website takes about 5 minutes. Then you can create one simple post and you now have a website.
As for your Company, most CPA Networks don't require it (because it
is a possible to be your own sole proprietor), but if they do require
it, I would recommend using your name here.
All CPA networks (that I know of) requires you to list a website.
Some may even want to check it, but in my experience, I have never been
denied using a Blogger.com blog.
**** Where do I get the traffic? ****
The beauty of this program is that it relies heavily on
Pay-Per-Click programs (advertisements that appear usually on general
search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN). Therefore, the traffic is
usually quite immediate and of high quality.
**** Is this just another Google Cash Method? ****
I know this question was a bit eluded to on the teleseminar and yes,
there is a "Google Cash" component to this strategy. Understand,
though, that this is NOT the money making component; they use this old
Google Cash strategy for testing purposes only.
They also add a few "technical twists" to help by-pass some of the
anti-Google Cash rules set up by the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) companies.
(And for those who don't know what Google Cash strategy is, it is
the process of sending visitors directly to advertiser's website using
your affiliate link in the PPCs).
**** Is this going to cost me a fortune in Pay-Per-Click? ****
It can if you don't know what you are doing. One thing that is very
important about the Arbitrage Conspiracy is managing money and cash
flow. They stressed this a lot in Las Vegas.
Jumping into the PPC-deep-end can cost you a lot of money. This is
why they structure it in such a way to ramp up your expenditures versus
profit. You may start off paying $10 in PPC/day make $20 in sales.
Build on that. Next week it may be $20 in PPC/day to make $40 in sales.
These guys take it to $10,000 in PPC/day to make $20,000 in sales in
a single campaign. That is $10,000 profit per day. If you have 10 of
these running (like they do), you make $100,000 profit per day. That
is how they do it.
**** So Will I Need a Website? ****
Eventually in the cycle, you will need at least a landing page. But
understand that creating a landing page is MUCH simpler than developing
a website. There are many ways of doing this that require little to no
money or technical expertise.
(Remember the Blogger.com blog I mentioned above? That can be a
very successful landing page. In fact, I have made money using
Blogger.com blogs as landing pages myself!)
Of course, the Arbitrage Conspiracy goes into several ways of creating fast, simple, and effective landing pages.
**** So Matt, What do YOU Think? ****
First of all, these guys have not really invented the wheel here, but they have learned how to grease it really well.
The stuff they are going to teach you does work. I know personally
because this is how I have made a majority of my income over the past
couple of years.
Of course, I have not scaled it in the way that they have (primarily
because I did not know how, and I am currently using these methods to
scale my own ventures now!).
There are a few keys to really make this work, though:
- Accept and embrace market research
- Accept and embrace their testing methods
- Be willing to accept some failures (some will work, some won't - and
through testing you will be able to escape without any significant
losses, if done correctly)
- Take Action (Most people don't succeed at strategies such as these
because they either don't try, don't complete it, or don't persevere
through the road bumps).
From what I saw in Vegas, I think the Pay-Per-Click education of
this program is phenomenal. Having an understanding of CPA Networks is
valuable (and under-taught). And learning how to do proper testing
(especially in the world of affiliate marketing) can be EXTREMELY
valuable.
The Arbitrage Conspiracy goes into all of these areas in great
detail. And even if you choose not to follow their PPC-CPA strategy, I
know you'll learn a lot about these important aspects that affect all
business online.

I'm sure there will be tons of bonuses, etc. for "fast action"
buyers. (I don't know that for sure, though). There will probably
also be some kind of guarentee, too, so if you are not sure, you may be
able to trial this out for awhile (again, I am not sure about this!).
That is it for now! I appreciate all of the questions that have
been posted on my blog and on the social networks and I hope this helps
answer some of the questions in your own mind about Arbitrage
Conspiracy.
As you probably know, I attended this InnerMastermind Event about
two weeks ago. It was essentially free to me (by invite, but others
actually paid $10,000 to attend!) and I really didnt know what to
expect.
Let me tell you what is going on (and what is about to come!).
The purpose of the meet-up was essentially to recruit partners.
These two guys got on stage (actually, there was only one hysically
there while the other presented via a virtual broadcast) about how they
earn anywhere between $50,000 and over $100,000 per DAY.
The first night, they catered a full-open bar reception at the
prestigious TAO nightclub at the Venetian hotel (where the event was
held). This is where I got the inkling that this as not your ordinary
event. I was in a room surrounded by some of the top internet
marketers in the business.
Mike Filsaime was standing next to me while I had a word with John
Carlton. Dr. Mike (a fellow San Diegan) and I talked about his Learning Annex days. Nick Marks and I discussed magazine
subscription offers. Eben (Pagan) was awesome and gave me some
great advice about business management.
Shoot, there goes Moffatt walking by giving me a wave hello (never got to actually talk to him, though).
Lynn Terry and I created a minute joint venture within about 20
minutes (which I emailed to you over the past week). She was
everything I expected.
Kelly Felix (aka, The Rich Jerk) was there. He was not what I expected; totally cool guy!
Some of my other internet friends like Syndey Johnson and the Perrys (Rhea and Drew) ere hanging around, too.
I could go on and on here. But as you can see, THIS WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL!
So on Friday, all of these Uber-Marketers were crammed into this
medium sized room to hear how these two guys brought in over $30
million dollars last month. So they showed us.
No one really left for the entire day. We just sat and watched.
The numbers were incredible but what they were doing seemed so easy.
Here is the deal:
We were brought here to first learn what they were doing because
they first wanted our feedback and then they wanted our support to
promote a release of what they just showed us.
Now I am not newbie marketer, but I am no where NEAR the level that
some of these other Uber-Marketers are at. Yes, I am an affiliate for
this product and of course, I always appreciate your support in buying
from me.
I probably wont be able to offer the bonuses these other big players do, but what I do
want to do right now is educate you on what this offer entitles.
You will start receiving a LOT of emails from every big name under the sun for this.
My plan:
I want to start providing some analysis and opinion on the truckload
of information that is going to be released over the next week. (and I
have plenty of opinion on this, too!)
This includes the initial introduction of Arbitrage Conspiracy by
Brad Fallon. If you opt-in, you can also get the initial Arbitrage
Conspiracy which outlines a lot of these initial ideas.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them there!
Yes, I am excited about the product and I am just as anxious as you are to see how this unfolds.
You should really watch the first video, though. (I brings back good memories of the event!)
Intimidated by Pay-per-Click Most people are intimidated by pay-per-click advertising or PPC because they're not sure about how it works. With a basic understanding of PPC's, the average user can achieve remarkable results.
