Beta Testers Needed for My New System
The last time I released this, we (my members and I) brought in 587 members at $29.95 per month and generated $17580.65 in monthly revenue the first week!
And then PayPal froze my account…
They told me, on the phone, that they do not allow ANY type of affiliate marketing programs, business opportunities, or anything that has to do with making money online (those were his exact words). He also said that he didn’t see anything wrong with my business model. But it wasn’t his decision to make.
I nearly cried when I saw all that income disappear as PayPal automatically canceled all the subscriptions. Not only that, but every subscription for two of my other continuity programs were also canceled totaling over $15,000 in personal recurring income.
PayPal also kept the money for 6 months. I just got it back a few weeks ago. And I’m not the only one. Dozens of well-known marketers have permanently limited PayPal accounts (in other words banned for life).
So needless to say, I DON’T recommend PayPal as part of your long-term business strategy.
Okay, enough ranting (you can read about it in my previous post).
Let’s get to the point of this email…
I’ve been in the lab, resurrecting Direct Pay Profits with a brand new system completely integrated with a company called AlertPay.
The cool thing about AlertPay is that they actually review your site before allowing you to accept credit cards. And they state in their terms of service that they accept affiliate marketing programs, make money products, and business opportunities (even MLM).
I even called AlertPay and told them what happened to me and they gave me assurance that I would have no problem now or in the future. NICE!
That said, let me tell you what this puppy does…
It allows members to promote products for 100% instant payments, build a customer list, and generate recurring income through a built-in continuity program. It even follows up and cross-sells all your products for you.
And it’s all automated! No website necessary! We even handle the customer support!
I’ve also added a viral aspect to the continuity program to explode your monthly income!
Now, about the beta testing…
I need people to sign up, test this out for me and give me some feedback. Next week, when people click the Join Now button on the sales letter, they will pay $29.95. But I’ve temporarily set it up to allow you free access. Just click Join Now and and you’ll be taken to a signup page.
Here’s what I need you to do…
Go through the steps to sign up for an AlertPay account so you can accept credit cards. Then set up your IPN so all of your sales will be recorded in your back office. And just let me know if you have any questions. I will personally be in the support center to help you.
Thanks! I really appreciated it. And I look forward to building a nice, phat, recurring income with you that PayPal can’t take away! LOL

WARNING: Your PayPal Account is at Risk!
If you sell or promote products online and you accept payments through PayPal, I encourage you to read this entire post…It’s THAT important.
This article is not intended to scare you. But instead to make you aware of the changes that are taking place in the IM market.
Here’s my story…
I have personally processed over $1,000,000 in sales through PayPal in the last few years. I remember hearing the horror stories years ago about merchants having their accounts and all their money frozen for several months.
I remember thinking, “That will never happen to me. I just sell information products. I’ll be fine as long as I stay away from MLM and other high-risk business opportunities.”
BOY, was I WRONG!
PayPal recently froze my account and they’re keeping over $6,000 for six months. But that’s not the worst part! They canceled well over $23,000 in recurring subscriptions.
70% of my income, GONE in 60 seconds!
You know what their reason was? They said my site was a work-at-home business opportunity site and that it violated their terms of service!
I told them that it’s an application that builds iFrame Pages on Facebook. “It’s just SOFTWARE!” But they wouldn’t listen…They froze my account and refused to take my calls.
But it gets even worse…
I needed some cash flow, so I developed a new Facebook App called the Optin App and I launched it in the Warrior Special offer forum with my friend Todd Gross. Since I didn’t have a PayPal account, we ran the sales through Todd’s account.
We dumped about $74K into that account in 3 days and we were transferring the money to our bank accounts as soon as it came in. A couple weeks went by and all was good until Todd called me the other day. His PayPal account was permanently frozen – just like mine.
This guy named David at PayPal said it was MLM. It’s a SOFTWARE application and the sales letter doesn’t even talk about making money from home or anything like that. Todd argued with him…asked him if he even knew what MLM was…
He said, “These types of sites are high risk and against our terms of service.” That’s exactly what he said…
Yesterday, my friend Spencer (one of THE top sellers in the WSO forum) got his account shut down too. He sells Word Press plugins. I started talking to other Warriors and discovered that dozens of people have been shut down in the last few weeks. I hate to tell you this, but…
PayPal is Out to Get US!
PayPal Doesn’t Like Internet Marketers! They don’t like affiliate programs. They will shut you down if they find you’re selling anything that has to do with work at home or making money online.
But here’s the IRONY: PayPal allows ClickBank to sell some of the WORST business opportunity products on the planet and they have the highest refund rates! That’s right, ClickBank (not the merchant) sells the products through PayPal.
But we’re just little fish, right? Too much of a risk for the mighty PayPal.
What can you do?
My advice is to get familiar with an alternate processor like ClickBank, 2CheckOut or AlertPay. I’m using my merchant account to process credit cards through Authorize.net and haven’t seen any drop in conversions. Everybody has a credit card, right?
I’m also setting up a new project with AlertPay. They are exactly like PayPal except they allow business opportunities and even MLM programs. It states that right in their terms of service. The cool thing about AlertPay is that they approve your site before you can accept credit cards. So there’s nothing to worry about.
I based my entire business on PayPal. Now I’m starting over. Don’t make that mistake.

$4K a Day with a Push of a Button? I Smell Bullshit!
Are you sick of all the ruthless marketers telling you how easy it is to make money online?
Are you disgusted by the stupid ClickBank products that promise traffic at the click of a mouse?
It’s been especially bad lately…
Launch after launch after launch and the products are bullshit!
I just got another one today telling me how I can *easily* make $4k per DAY with just 30 minutes of work.
Honestly, if you had a software program that made you $4k a DAY with a “push of a button”, would you sell it to thousands of people for $47???
Why doesn’t ClickBank BAN this crap?!
If you look closely at some of the sales letters, you’ll realize that it’s the same guy selling you more junk under a different name.
And it’s usually some kind of useless software that automates articles submissions, blog posts, or social media posts (A.K.A. SPAM)…
…or it’s some kind of secret “cloaking” software that tricks Google or FaceBook or the latest time waster.
Most of that crap doesn’t work! And if there is some kind of “loophole” it gets CLOSED quickly and then, once again, you’re left with nothing.
Don’t get me wrong though, because I personally know people who get tons of traffic from social media, blogs, FaceBook ads, CPV, etc.
BUT…
They don’t do the work themselves. They outsource it over seas.
And it’s NOT their main source of traffic either. Affiliates and JV partners are much more reliable (no matter what these idiots tell you).
Those unscrupulous marketers that I mentioned above prey on people who want to believe that it’s easy to make money online.
Well it’s NOT and the sooner you realize that and start doing what they do (in a more ethical manner), the faster you’ll *actually start* making money.
Instead of buying product after product hoping that the next one will be your ticket to the big times, you should start selling!
Without a doubt, the best way to get started online is to sell low-cost products and pay affiliates 100% commission to send you traffic.
Then funnel those buyer leads and exit traffic into quality, ethical sale funnels that pay you over and over and over for the same customers.
When you have your own product and an opt-in page to collect leads, you have the leverage you need to set up JV deals, ad swaps, and all kinds of integration marketing.
That’s how ALL my marketing friends are making money!
And if you think about it, that’s how that guy “really” makes $4k a day. ;o) Those ClickBank screen shots are most likely from products he’s sold in the past!
NOT a result of the “push button software” he’s trying to sell to you.
