Hi Folks,

I’ve decided to take Internet Marketers Companion off the market for a spell.

There are several reasons for this but nothing that is worth discussing at length.

If you are an existing customer feel free to ping me on any questions that you have.

I have some plans for things to do with the site and source code from a few products kicking around and the forum is there to talk about IMC, IMC Lite and things you’d like to see in a bigger, better Affiliate Marketing Business Tracking Tool.

Kind Regards,

2010 is going to be an awesome year. The world is coming out of the worst recession since the Great Depression and folks are looking forward to better economic times.

While IMC has predominantly been about the product Internet Marketers Companion, I’m wanting to do more for the community.

I’ll be looking for some feedback over the next couple of months on what you’d like to see her at IMC. To sweeten the deal, there will be random giveaways of Internet Marketers Companion and MRR PLR packs.

I have some exciting ideas and I’m looking forward to hearing what fellow Internet Marketers are looking for in a community.

Best wishes for a great 2010.

Instructions on how to get started with IMC Lite. A 3 step plan to get you analyzing your data and increasing your profits.

The same instructions are on the front tab of IMC Lite and step you through how to get data into the program.

You don’t have IMC Lite? Well you should, it’s FREE and a great way to get started on tracking how your affiliate marketing business is going.

You can get it HERE and it’s available for both PC and Mac.

STEP 1
Start Here … Import your Adword file.

Click on the adwords button and point it at your report file.

Your report should only have 3 columns.
* Column 1: Adgroup
* Column 2: Clicks
* Column 3: Cost

STEP 2
Put your Affiliate Sales data in a file in the following format.

Merchant,Sales,Sales Amount,Commission,Site
000001,1,64.95,25.98,Click Bank

Once you have that, click on the Affiliate Button and point it at the file.
(Note: You can also enter the same data through the Aff Data Tab)

STEP 3
Now for the fun part. Click on Reports to start checking your data.

REAL Software have just updated to REALBasic 2009 Release 3.

I try to keep current on the release cycles to take advantage of new features/ bug fixes in the latest versions of the programming language.

There are a few things I’ll need to update based on this latest release, mainly around how text fields are handled. It will give me the opportunity to clean up some things and have a cleaner look.

This release adds in OpenGL which is nice and while I might use it for another project, I have no plans to put it into Internet Marketers Companion.

Something I’ve been working on for the next release of IMC Lite, Affiliate Branding.

What does Affiliate Branding mean? Well, in short you’ll be able to set your Affiliate ID in the program so that any folks that upgrade to the Pro version from the Lite version will garner you a 30% commission on Internet Marketers Companion.

This means you can offer a branded version of IMC Lite through your website and while providing your users with a great piece of software to help folks keep tabs on their PPC spend and income, you’ll also be able to pick up some nice affiliate income also.

Kind Regards,

Shane
