I was floored. I’d never won a contest before, and certainly not one as valuable as the one Alok Jain was putting on for his latest product, Project Quick Cash (I’m sure you’ve heard of it by now).

But there it was in my inbox: Alok’s 24 hour traffic leaderboard, with me in the #1 position!

That meant that I won the right to use Alok’s list of 60,000+ subscribers to promote Joel Comm’s new training series The Secret Classroom. In it he reveals all of the training that was given to the contestants of his now-renowned reality show, The Next Internet Millionaire.

“Wow,” I thought, “this is incredible!”

But I had a big, big problem …

You see, just the day before, Joel had emailed me to ask me if I would be promoting The Secret Classroom. I’d promoted many of his products in the past (they’ve always been top notch), and he wanted to know if he could count on my support for this one as well.

As I always do, I asked him if I could get a review copy before the product launched. (I never promote anything without doing a thorough review first.)

That’s when the trouble started…

As it turned out, the product wasn’t ready for shipment yet, and probably wouldn’t be until just before the launch. That meant that there was no way I would get a copy in time to review all 24 hours of super-training from huge Internet Marketing successes like Mike Filsaime, Ray Edwards, Jeff Walker, Brad Fallon, and eight other super-marketers. I was very disappointed, but I had to tell Joel, “I’m sorry, but I can’t promote anything until I’ve reviewed it.” That’s just the kind of guy I am.

The very next day I won Alok’s contest.

What a fix I was in! I’d just posted to my blog about not promoting products that you hadn’t reviewed for quality, and then I find out that I’ve won the chance to promote The Secret Classroom to 60,000+ people but I wouldn’t be able to review it in time for the launch! ARGH!

What was I to do? I knew one thing: I was sticking to my principles. I wasn’t going to earn a dime from a product that I had not yet personally reviewed, no matter how much I trusted its creator. That’s my policy, and I was determined to hold onto it.

The solution hit me like a freight train this morning while I was at the grocery store: I could give away all of my commissions! Now, in case you’re starting to get concerned: no, my dilemma hasn’t caused me to lose my mind! It seemed insane to me at first, too, but the more I thought about it, the more I loved the idea.

Giving away my commissions solved all of the problems I was facing:

I wouldn’t feel bad about promoting Joel’s product because I wouldn’t be earning one thin dime from it for myself. I knew the product would be great (it is, after all, from Joel Comm), and I knew people would be falling all over themselves to get it.
I would still be able to use Alok Jain’s list to promote the product, and wouldn’t have to pass on the only contest I’d ever won!
I couldn’t help but think of how much goodwill doing this would create with the people on Alok’s list (and with my own list, too). I would be able to give something back to the Internet Marketing community for all that it has done for me — something more than just information, something solid, tangible (and green): cash!

I immediately hopped on Yahoo! Messenger when I got back from the store and started chatting with Alok about this idea. He was thrilled, and wanted to have a full share in my giveaway efforts. We hammered out the details together, and created this site as a result.

Here’s how it works: if you purchase The Secret Classroom through that link (or the link in the menu on top of this page) to it on this page, and then register to win the contest, you have a chance at winning 50% of all of the commissions I earn for the product. Whether I earn $5,000 or $15,000 or more, I will give you a full 50% of that amount.

BONUS: $698 worth of powerful software.

I know that lots of people are giving away lots of bonuses if you purchase Secret Classroom through them, and so I’ve also decided to give you 3 powerful bonuses worth $698 if you purchase through me. This will help keep things interesting.

Here they are:

1. A free 1 year account at 3WayLinks.net

Normally a one year subscription to 3WL costs $564 ($47/month). So even if you buy the Secret Classroom and find that it’s not as great as you’d hoped, you’re still getting your money back from your subscription to 3WL.

If you followed my case study on building a niche site from scratch, let me give you an update: that site jumped to the #3 position for my keywords December 1st, and has doubled in traffic and revenue because of it. What made that happen? 3WayLinks.

2. A free copy of Instant Article Wizard.

Instant Article Wizard is the software I created to help you write articles FAST (in 15 minutes or less, even if you know nothing
about the subject matter).

It costs $67, but I’ll give you a f.ree copy if you purchase Secret Classroom through the link in this email.
