Online Shoppers Loophole - the new buzzword is out!
Imagine if you had earned sales commission for every online purchase you've ever made?
How many commission payments have you put in someone else's pocket?
Anyone can now be subsidized in the form of a guaranteed sale at their own or affiliated merchant site, whenever they purchase any product, service, membership or program from any online merchant.
That's because of a new buzzword taking root in the world of affiliate marketing and customer acquisition.
It's called "customer reciprocation" and describes 2 of the newest services around namely affiliate directories (not affiliate program directories which have been around forever) and commission exchanges. These act as an extension or improved version of link exchanges in that they can provide paying customers instead of potential traffic generation (leads, click-throughs, or visitors).
If you want to make money on the Internet, you can either be a merchant and sell your own product, or you can affiliate yourself with other merchants and earn commission from referred sales.
If you are a merchant, imagine selling more of your own product each time you purchase anything online. If you run an affiliate program, you also sell more of your product each time an affiliate of yours purchases anything online.
If you are an affiliate, imagine combining with other affiliates in a way that allows each to gain the commission for personally referring the other.
With "customer reciprocation", this happens automatically each time you purchase anything online.
The loophole allows all affiliate and network (MLM) marketers to leverage off each other's commission and downline potential.
The same loophole allows merchant sites to leverage off each other's profit potential.
The beauty of the loophole is that it can be exploited without risk!
Merchants just need to list their sites for free while affiliate and network marketers just enter their referral URL's for free.
I sincerely hope you consider making the loophole work for you and take advantage of the new buzzword that is "customer reciprocation".

How affiliates can subsidise all their purchases using customer reciprocation.
Imagine if you had received a subsidy for every online purchase you've ever
made?
As an affiliate marketer, how would you like to earn sales commission each
time you purchase from any website?
How many commission payments have you put in someone else's pocket?
Did you know that anyone can now be subsidised in the form of a guaranteed sale at their own or affiliated merchant site, whenever they purchase any product, service, membership or program from any website?
If you did, then you would have heard of "customer reciprocation”, the new buzzword taking root in the world of affiliate marketing and customer acquisition.
It describes two of the newest services around namely affiliate
directories (not to be confused with affiliate program directories) and customer acquisition exchanges.
These are in effect an evolutionary improvement on link exchanges in that they provide paying customers instead of potential traffic (leads, click-throughs, or visitors).
From a merchant's perspective, imagine selling more of your own product each
time you purchase anything online.
For merchants running an affiliate program, you will make additional sales each time any of your affiliates shop online.
However, the ultimate benefit customer
reciprocation brings to merchants is that their products become
exponentially more appealing.
This is because a customer acquisition exchange will subsidise the cost of the purchase to their customers with no loss of profit to the merchant.
If you are an affiliate marketer, imagine partnering with other
affiliates in a way that allows each of you to gain the commission for
personally referring the other.
With "customer reciprocation", this happens automatically each time you purchase anything online.
A customer acquisition exchange allows all affiliate and network (MLM) marketers to leverage off each other's commission and downline potential. It also allows merchant website owners to leverage off
each other's profit potential.
The beauty of customer reciprocation is that it can be exploited without risk!
Merchants just need to list their sites for free while affiliate and network marketers just enter their referral URLs for free.
I sincerely hope you consider making customer reciprocation work for you.

The secret of how I got GoogleCash for free with 1 minute's extra effort.
Hi, my name is Michael and I’m about to share an amazing discovery with you.
Don’t bother scrolling down to see the price. There is none. I am giving you this information free. Why? Because as you are about to discover, the strategy I’m going to teach you is dependent on a growing community of participants who partner to derive win-win outcomes. A bit like online dating services, the more members there are the better the results for all. I therefore encourage you to recommend this strategy to relevant friends and colleagues in your circle of contacts.
Before I explain exactly how I got GoogleCash for free, you need to understand the background of what makes this ingenious purchase strategy work.
The strategy is not specific to GoogleCash. I have simply chosen GoogleCash because it is the product in my testimonial. The strategy can be used for any purchase, and you can purchase from any of your favourite online stores that you normally trust to shop at. The benefit is that you will now be subsidised a cash amount so large that it may even surpass the cost of your purchase, making it absolutely free. The fact that you can purchase anywhere is partly what makes the strategy work.
There are three core things you need to understand about the strategy.
Firstly, the websites you are intending to purchase from do not miss out on any payment. You are not breaching any of their agreements, terms or conditions. In fact, from their perspective you’re a 100% normal customer with all the normal privileges. You will even receive a purchase receipt that may contribute to a tax deduction.
Secondly, there are no losers with this strategy. It is 100% legal and does not involve pyramid schemes, purchasing matrix, or anything of that nature. No scams here. Everybody wins.
Thirdly, you are still receiving the product you want direct from the merchant of your choice. So you can expect the same product quality, customer service, and shipping that you are accustomed to. You’re simply getting what you had already decided to purchase at a massive discount.
“So what makes it work?”
The secret ingredient is a process known as ‘customer reciprocation’ facilitated by a ‘customer acquisition exchange’. customer reciprocation fundamentally relies on the customer acquisition efforts of merchants, primarily through affiliate programs.
“Confused? Don’t worry, I was too.”
Basically, merchants with online stores pay people like you and me sales commission to find them customers. You can join the merchant’s affiliate program generally for free, and commence earning commission as an affiliate marketer immediately. You earn by directing potential customers through a unique web link called a ‘referral URL’. The link identifies you to the merchant so they know that you are the referrer who must be paid commission.
In essence, whenever you are intending to purchase something, there’s an affiliate marketer out there trying to catch your attention and transparently direct you to your chosen merchant through their referral URL. If you purchase something, the affiliate marketer will earn upwards of 50% in commission.
customer reciprocation is the process of two parties (affiliate marketers) partnering to become each other’s customer. “I’ll be your customer, if you’ll be mine”. When you want to purchase GoogleCash like I did, why not purchase it through an affiliate marketer who is willing to purchase at one of your affiliated merchants?
“Can you see the obvious benefit?”
You will earn an instant commission when your partner purchases from your affiliated merchant. The commission may be more than the cost of GoogleCash or it may be less. But it is beyond doubt an instant subsidy. Your merchants will love you for bringing them a customer, and you’ll have a legally acquired copy of GoogleCash and extra money to use on anything you like.
“So where do you find affiliate marketers ready to shop at your merchant’s online store?”
Affiliate marketers are already seasoned Internet shoppers who’ve overcome the trust hurdle and embraced online purchasing. There are so many around that you need only do a search for anything in Google or MSN to find them fighting over the highest positions in the search results.
The trick is finding someone affiliated with the merchant you intended to shop with, who is intending to purchase from your merchant. (customer reciprocation).
This is where a “customer acquisition exchange” comes into play. (See the references at the bottom of this article or search for “customer acquisition exchange” in your favourite search engine.).
A customer acquisition exchange allows you to manage your portfolio of referral URLs. I am a member of five different affiliate programs even though I only actively market one of them. Whenever you want to purchase something you simply submit your purchase intention (in the form of the merchants website address) to the customer acquisition exchange. In my case I wanted to purchase from http://www.googlecash.com/. The system immediately commenced searching for affiliate marketers of GoogleCash who had a purchase intention for one of my merchants. This submission process literally took me less than one minute. I received an email containing my exchange partner’s referral URL and proceeded to click on it and was taken to http://www.googlecash.com/, where I purchased my copy.
When I returned to the customer acquisition exchange I noticed that my portfolio showed a sale at one of my affiliated merchants. “Fantastic”, I thought. My commission report from my affiliated merchant revealed that my exchange partner had indeed purchased something. In fact, the commission I earned from the sale totalled $12 more than what GoogleCash cost me. Meaning I got GoogleCash for free and received $12 for my one-minute effort.
So now that you too know this simple no-risk strategy, I hope that you will use it to your advantage and derive previously unheard of discounts. I trust that you can see the benefit of recommending customer reciprocation to your peers, because as the community grows there will be more participants partnering rather than viciously competing for new customers.

Michael Lever

The missing link between sellers and customers – why you don't make more sales.
In these days of rampant commercialism everybody is selling something.
So what makes someone stand out from the rest as a super salesperson?
The best salespeople, of course, are those that sell themselves and I don't mean prostitution! They sell themselves on three main principles. These being knowledge, credibility, and trust.
However capable salespeople may be at selling themselves, to complete a profitable transaction they still require a customer willing to purchase their offering.
That's pretty obvious isn't it?
Yes my friend, whether we like it or not, customers are what make the world we live in spin around!
Whether we care to admit it or not, we're all customers just waiting to be sold. Disagree? Read on..
We avoid thinking about whether we've paid too much for, or even needed, what was sold to us. This is because we're constantly justifying our purchase decisions to ourselves with positive thoughts like:
1) I bought it on sale and got a discount so I saved money.
2) I am building my reward points towards my bonus of free flights, etc..
3) I got the latest release or technology making me a trendsetter.
Customers mean different things to different sellers. Or more concisely, they represent different natures and values to different sellers.
By different customer natures I'm referring to whether they are trusting, naive, gullible, impulsive, intelligent, streetwise, or cynical to name just a few. Yes, we humans are a diverse bunch!
Probably more significant and measurable is the value a customer represents to a seller.
Is the customer spending a little or a lot on a particular transaction?
Are they buying once or are they likely to make repeat purchases?
Would they refer other customers to the seller?
Could the seller value-add to the customer with other offerings and up-selling possibilities?
Is an MLM customer potentially more valuable than an ordinary shopper?
It is this relationship of matching the right customer to the right seller based on both parties natures and values that crucially defines the success we achieve in life. It's important to understand and use this knowledge to determine how to effectively market to a prospective customer.
All these factors determine both the effort needed and the successful likelihood of customer acquisition. This makes it easy to appreciate why it's far more cost effective both in time and money to retain existing customers that to acquire new ones.
Online sellers have an easier time of customer acquisition than offline sellers. This is due mainly to processes such as online auctions, affiliate marketing, and more recently customer acquisition exchanges. Additionally, internet marketing is generally far more cost effective than it's offline counterpart.
Is the missing link apparent yet?
Understanding that we're all both sellers and customers at the same time, will lead us to realise the motivations of others and have compassion toward them. Thus reducing skepticism and bridging the gap between sellers and customers. This is the link overlooked by unsuccessful sales people.
Regards
Michael Lever
