Affiliate Benefits

You stand to make 65 percent commission, or approximately $17.36, on a book that really helps people cut through the confusion that surrounds this topic, and shows them what protective measures they can take to prepare for the current pandemic and any future pandemic.

Before we get to the details, let me take a minute to explain why promoting this product is going to benefit you. You and I both know that the quality of the majority of affiliate-promoted ebooks is pretty darn poor. Well, I can guarantee that this is not the case here.

When you promote Survive Pandemic Flu you will not secretly feel that you are pushing some suspect product that you would never promote to people you know, let alone buy yourself. The ebook is carefully researched and was written by someone (me) who has been actively interested in the topic since 1995. In fact I spent several years looking into every aspect of influenza as I prepared to write my first novel. I drew upon my training as a scientist to learn everything I could about this wiley microbe, and much of what I learned back then helped me to put the current book together.

So, the bottom line is that you are going to be promoting a quality product which you can feel good about.

Article / Blog Swatches

Feel free to use these sample promotions in your blog posts or article marketing. I recommend rewriting them a little, if needed, to match your voice.

Note that I have added the cloaked form of the affiliate URL to these articles, which is http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ and that nickname needs to be replaced with your actual ClickBank nickname.

The alternative is to use the standard ClickBank hoplink:
http://nickname.surviveflu.hop.clickbank.net/

Either will work fine, but the former is recommended since it is not so obviously an affiliate URL.

Title: Here Is Why I Changed My Mind About Swine Flu I suspect that for most people their concern about swine flu peaked the day that the World Health Organization raised their warning level all the way up to level 6 and declared that they were at "full pandemic status". Since then the world has not melted or anything, so we have all gone back to business as usual. I know that I have, and I think most people have taken the view that this thing is pretty much yesterday's story and that swine flu is about as harmful as a drink of water. And you know what? So far, it looks as if that's about right (yes, some people have died of swine flu complications, but a lot less than were initially expected). I have to admit that I was starting to feel the same way, but I have just finished reading a book called "Survive Pandemic Flu - Understand and Protect Against Novel Strains Of Influenza", and what I found out is that looks can be deceiving when it comes to strains of flu. The author points out that the last time we saw a flu strain like this novel H1N1 strain begin spreading around the world, it ended with the deaths of about 100 million people. It did not happen that long ago either. It was 1918, less than a century ago. An H1N1 strain came out of nowhere at about the same time of the year, spring time, and then vanished a month or two later without causing much of a problem. But then it came back in the fall. This time it was completely changed, and that dopey virus that caused little loss of sleep in the early part of the year was suddenly dropping people in their tracks. Those that turned blue did not last very long, and in most cities around the world they quickly ran out of coffins and had to stack corpses in makeshift piles and bury them in mass graves. Well, I could go on about the obvious parallels between the strain that emerged in 1918 and the one we are dealing with in 2009. But really, I would only be scratching the surface of a very involved story that actually goes back to Abraham Lincoln and something he did during the Civil War. Something which guaranteed that even if nature acting on its own does not come up with a twin version of that 1918 strain, we may yet get to experience it again anyway. That was just one of the surprising things I discovered in Survive Pandemic Flu, and I can guarantee you that those "idiot" WHO officials that we all laughed at earlier when they raised the alarm and then nothing bad seemed to happen, well, they aren't quite the idiots we made them out to be. Not by a long shot. Trust me, if you think all those swine flu warnings were hype and that our troubles are now behind us, then you are going to be one of the 99 percent of the population that gets caught with its pants down when the nasty hits the fan. No one knows whether it will be this year, the next, or five years from now. But if you would rather be among the one percent whose family isn't taken by surprise, get ahold of this book. Heck, for the cost of cheap family meal you get an education that might just save the life of a family member one day. So drop what you are doing, and check out <a href="http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/">Survive Pandemic Flu</a> right now so that you can get prepared well ahead of time. I know that my family is going to be a lot better off for me having learned what is in this book, and what I can do to make sure they are protected as much as possible against any pandemic threat - no matter when it makes its appearance. Usually when someone tells you that some book they are recommending may be the most important one you will read this year, you already KNOW that it is a line. But in this case, that's just not true. At any rate, you can decide for yourself when you go check it out. You can thank me later for pointing you in the right direction. Here is that URL one more time: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ At the very least, sign up to grab the introductory chapters of the book. If you read those and you still think you and your family have nothing to fear from the next pandemic you will at least know where to find the information later if you discover you were wrong.

Title: You Can Avoid Infection And A Pandemic Can Still Kill You When most people think about the prospect of a severe pandemic visiting their neck of the woods, it is the fear of becoming infected that scares them. In the case of a flu strain that kills as efficiently as the one that circled the world in 1918, the prospect is hardly a comforting one. In the case of blue collar workers it is believed that in some U.S. communities the mortality rate for those infected was as high as 10 percent. In more epidemiologically isolated communities, like the Inuit Eskimo tribes of Alaska, the mortality rate reached 90 percent and virtually wiped those communities off the map. Less widely appreciated is that a pandemic need not even reach your door in order to be able to kill you or a family member. During a severe pandemic you could literally starve to death while never having come in close contact with the virus. This is just one of the conclusions I reached after reading <a href="http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/">Survive Pandemic Flu</a>, which will have you rethinking just how much you really understand about your own place in the world. Because it turns out that we are a lot more delicately positioned than we like to believe. Here is what I am talking about. Get up from your chair and head to the kitchen and make a quick inventory of the amount of food you have. How long would it last you if you discovered tomorrow that the shelves would be empty in the stores where you shop? Most retailers today work on a "just in time" model - they stock just enough product to keep the shelves full for a few days, and restock just as frequently as new shipments come in. Nobody stores in quantity any more because their margins are too thin to accommodate the extra expense. So any disruption to the fulfillment line means rapid onset of delivery problems, to stores, to customers, to you and your family. In the event of a national crisis that should knock out truck drivers - and this could simply be due to fear that once they get in their trucks and embark on a long haul they will not be available if a family member falls gravely ill during a pandemic - the panic sweeping of inventory by consumers could easily clear store shelves in as little as 24 hours, leaving whatever you have in your cupboards as the only food and water you may be able to get your hands on for weeks. Your neighbors will be facing the exact same dilemma, so don't bother looking to them to bail you out. Nor should you expect the government to come rushing in with supplies to help you. That kind of thing happens only during local emergencies, not the kind of nation-wide threat we are talking about here where *everyone* is experiencing the same kind of disruptions to their normal existence. If you are lucky enough to have a huge stockpile of food in your home - enough to get you through the crisis with some rationing - you will not want to advertise the fact. If your neighbor is faced with the option of either watching his family starve to death, or forcibly take food and water from you to make sure that does not happen, well, your life may be threatened yet again. As I said at the outset, a virus that causes a severe pandemic does not need to reach your door in order for it to claim your life or the life of a family member. It only has to spread fear to get the job done. This is just one of the startling conclusions you will reach yourself once you have read Survive Pandemic Flu, which you can find at http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/

Title: If Swine Flu Bothers You - This News Will Really Freak You Out If I was to ask you how lethal the current swine flu strain is, you would probably say "not very?" and hope that things are going to stay that way. Well, me too. But I have also been looking at this thing more closely, and the number I come up with for the mortality rate is about 3 in every 10,000 new infections. At least, that's how swine flu has been behaving up until mid 2009. Of course, things can always change overnight, and that is why we have several major vaccine companies racing to get a vaccine into the hands of the public before it is truly needed. But that mortality rate is surprisingly low. Especially when you consider that the last time an H1N1 swine flu virus began spreading unchecked in the human population it eventually morphed into a killer that was capable of killing roughly 500 of every 10,000 people newly infected. In some small and socially remote communities the mortality rate reached a level equivalent to a stunning 9,000 of every 10,000 new infections. This makes the current swine flu virus with its 3 in 10,000 seem like small potatoes indeed. Just keep in mind that the 1918 strain started out as small potatoes too, and took six months or so to ramp up the numbers. No one knows if that might happen again, but nobody who understands the highly mutating nature of influenza A is prepared to rule it out either. The amazing thing I learned, while reading <a href="http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/">Survive Pandemic Flu</a>, is that even if the current swine flu strain never manages to become more deadly than it is right now, we could still see a repeat of 1918 from none other than the original virus itself. How is that possible, you ask? It turns out that through an amazing chain of events starting with Abraham Lincoln, who issued a proclamation to study diseases on the battlefield during the Civil War, and ending with a molecular biologist who was able to string the virus back together in 2005 after it had been dead for nearly nine decades, the monster strain is alive and well and ready to wreak havoc again the moment somebody in the lab gets sloppy with their safety protocols. So do not let the slowness with which the new swine flu strain is becoming more threatening lull you into complacency about pandemic influenza. There is now something in the lab that ought to be keeping us all awake at night. To find out more about this amazing development, I recommend you read the full story in Survive Pandemic Flu, which you can find at http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/

Title: Will You Be Denied The Swine Flu Shot? Nobody enjoys going to get a flu shot, but we do expect that if we want one, getting in line for it should simply be a matter of showing up for the event. But what if that was not the case? What if you discovered that you were actually turned away from an inoculation center because you did not fit a predefined "profile" for who is eligible to receive a shot? Ironically, in a year in which a pandemic strain is circling the globe, this is a very real possibility. Right now we know for certain that swine flu vaccines will be in short supply until sometime in 2010. That means not everyone can be vaccinated against the new pandemic virus. In fact, vaccine manufacturers let it be known in mid August that instead of the initial 120 million doses of swine flu vaccine that they had projected would be made available for distribution to the U.S. population, only 45 million doses are likely to materialize. Not only is this not great news, we still have no idea yet whether the new vaccine will even offer significant protection - the 2008 seasonal flu vaccine protected only 44 percent of those who received the shot. So the availability and efficacy of swine flu vaccine is still very much up in the air. Right now this is not a huge concern, because the virus has not claimed a large number of lives. In fact, it has so far caused no more misery than the seasonal flu, which claims up to a half million lives across the globe every year. But that could change quickly, and if the new swine flu strain suddenly proves to be significantly more lethal than it has been, people will want to be vaccinated, and finding themselves denied the shot could be very worrisome. So who *will* be allowed to get the shot when it first becomes available? First responders to emergencies need to remain healthy, as do doctors and other health workers who will take care of the sick. Members of the military are also likely to go into the line, as are children, who have shown a higher tendency to fall sick, pregnant women, and anyone with cardiac problems, high blood pressure, or other underlying health problems than can cause a lowered immune response. If you are otherwise healthy, and you are an adult, then you will likely have to go to the back of the line and wait until early 2010 before you can be vaccinated. Given that the U.S. will get its hands on an estimated 45 million doses of the new vaccine by late October, and depending on whether one or two shots are required to invoke an antibody response to the new swine flu, about one seventh (more likely), to one third of the population of the United States could be vaccinated during the first round. But if you are NOT one of the lucky first to be vaccinated, and the virus does turn significantly worse, all is not lost. There are still antiviral drugs that can be administered to break an infection that has got started in your body. To learn more about your options I recommend that you check out <a href="http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/">Survive Pandemic Flu</a>, which was written in response to the emergence of the new pandemic. It goes into great detail about pandemic influenza, and what you can do to protect both yourself and your family from the threat.

Subject: Will you be denied the swine flu shot this fall? Hi {!firstname_fix}, It is without doubt one of the big questions that you will have to answer this fall. No one gets to avoid this very fundamental question, and everyone will be asking it regardless of who they are, and what their interests may be. It is the reason my friend Stephen Carter created his latest site: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ The question: Will you get the swine flu shot this fall? Will you even be eligible to receive it? Stephen contacted me recently and helped me realize that very few people have fully appreciated the fact that shortly the biggest and most costly inoculation program in the history of public health will be launched. The cost to U.S. taxpayers alone to foot the bill for a swine flu vaccine will be in the vicinity of 10 billion dollars. I agree with Stephen that most people are likely to jump at the opportunity to get the vaccine. What I did not fully appreciate, and what most others probably also do not fully understand, are the pros and cons of doing so. I certainly was not aware that there may only be sufficient vaccine to inoculate a select portion of the population, so many of us may be required to forgo our spot in the line. In fact, instead of the expected delivery in October 2009 of an initial 120 million swine flu doses to inoculate the U.S. population, vaccine manufacturers say they will be able to come up with only 45 million doses. This means that tens of millions of Americans will be left vulnerable in the event that the virus finds a way to turn more deadly - something that influenza is known to have done in past pandemics. What I learned from reading Stephen's book is that, without a vaccine in place, perhaps fully one third of the global population will contract swine flu in the next 12 months. This is why the inoculation program is all but certain, even if it appears that it will now be delayed. The other thing worth keeping in mind is that economic times are tough, and the U.S. government would hardly be looking to dole out 10 billion dollars on a vaccine program if there was not a very real concern that things could turn bad very quickly with this pathogen. This is why you want to make sure you fully understand the situation, and prepare yourself in the event that you find yourself ineligible for the first batches of this vaccine, which by all accounts will be in limited supply for the duration of 2009. You can find out more about Stephen's new book "Survive Pandemic Flu" here: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ Sincerely, [Your Name]

Subject: Are you immune to the swine flu pandemic? Hi {!firstname_fix}, As I mentioned the other day, I have just finished reading a new book that backgrounds this swine flu situation and puts it into context by comparing it to the other pandemics of the last century. You can find the web site for the book here: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ I know that a lot of people are wondering about the necessity of getting the swine flu shot this fall. The truth is that some people *do* seem to be a lot less susceptible to swine flu. People over 50 years of age appear to fall into this category, and it is thought that the fact that an H1N1 swine flu strain was in circulation prior to 1957 (the year the Asian Flu pandemic dropped swine flu off the map) might have something to do with that. Older people may have antibodies to the older strain of swine flu, and this may be protecting them to some degree. But for the rest of us there is no such protection. Moreover, if you have children, they seem to be at particular risk from the new swine flu strain. The average age of hospitalized swine flu sufferers is somewhere in the mid teens. If you are a parent, the good news in all of this is that your children will receive first priority when the vaccine becomes available. They will likely have the option of receiving 2 doses of the swine flu shot, the second administered about 3 weeks after the first to raise sufficient antibodies to fight off an infection. The not so good news? Vaccine companies have found that they can grow only about one third as much swine flu as they can seasonal flu using the technology at hand. This means that swine flu vaccine will be in short supply for 2009, so the only people who will be able to get their hands on it will be those for whom swine flu represents a higher risk of serious complications. Unless you are diabetic, suffer from high blood pressure, a heart condition, asthma, or another type of respiratory problem, you may have to forgo protection from a swine flu shot until some time in 2010. To find out more about this issue, I strongly recommend getting a copy of the definitive title on this subject: "Survive Pandemic Flu: Understand and Protect Against Novel Strains Of Influenza". You can find out more about the book on this page: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ Unless you feel convinced that you are immune to swine flu, this is one book you will want to have read by the time the virus appears at your front door. Sincerely, [Your Name]

Subject: Are swine flu shots actually dangerous? Hi {!firstname_fix}, I know that I WILL be getting the swine flu shot if it is offered to me this fall. I was able to come to a decision about this after reading "Survive Pandemic Flu", which goes into this subject in some detail: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ But the decision to get the shot is not as clear cut as you might think. About 30 years ago a decision was made to undertake a massive swine flu inoculation program in the United States. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but two things happened to throw mass vaccination programs into a bad light. For one thing, the anticipated swine flu pandemic never arose. The other problem - which proved to be far more serious - was that (it appears) contaminated vaccine triggered a severe neurological problem in several hundred people who got the shot. This side effect was rare - about 1 case in every 100,000 inoculations. But because the pandemic never got started, there was no benefit to having taken the vaccine, so the side effects completely dominated column space in the newspapers of the day. The 1976 swine flu vaccine got a LOT of bad press. To this day you cannot mention the topic of "swine flu vaccine" on the web without people jumping in with all sorts of conspiracy theories relating to vaccine companies and their intent to blanket the world with unsafe swine flu shots that will cause far more misery than good. In Survive Pandemic Flu, Stephen Carter does a little risk management and shows us that if we assume the swine flu virus remains mild, and causes no more than 3 deaths in every 10,000 infections, and if the risk of a vaccine side effect today is as high as it was 30 years ago (unlikely), then the likelihood of dying from a swine flu infection is still about 10 times greater than dying from a side effect due to a bad vaccine. I was surprised that the number is only 10, but this is a worse-case scenario, and if today's vaccines are actually safer than the contaminated 1976 vaccines, then the number might be as much as 100. Then there is the possibility of a more deadly strain of swine flu arising. If that happens, the number swells again. If you want the full details, check out Survive Pandemic Flu. It is the only place I have seen a realistic assessment of this kind of risk: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ Sincerely, [Your Name]

Subject: What if swine flu actually did turn deadly? Hi {!firstname_fix}, Have you given any serious thought to what it would mean if the current swine flu virus really did change into a modern day killer? I have. In fact, I gave it a LOT of thought after I had finished reading "Survive Pandemic Flu", which you can find here: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ I know that most people think about pandemic flu in only one way: the degree to which it might affect their immediate health, or that of a loved one. The trouble is, while that is an entirely valid way of thinking about the problem, it misses the larger picture. Back in 1918, when the Spanish Flu, as it was called, began dropping people in their tracks, it put a huge strain not just on individual families, but it threatened to make local communities come apart at the seams. Once it gets to the point that people are too afraid to come within ten feet of one another it becomes very hard to keep the wheels of commerce rolling. All the things you depend on daily as a matter of course suddenly become unreliable and fraught with danger. The scary thing is that I have not been able to come up with a single solid reason to believe that the same thing could not happen again today. Yes, we have antiviral drugs and vaccine technology on our side, but not enough of them to satisfy demand if they were really called for. On top of this, not everybody would elect to be vaccinated even if the shots were available. Many people actually consider vaccines more dangerous than the diseases they protect against. While this is not the case, even when the disease causing microbe happens to be as mildly disease causing as the current swine flu pathogen has proved to be (at least initially), the claim is clearly absurd when you start talking about a strain that can kill 5 percent of the population, as was the case back in 1918. The point, of course, is that the vaccine naysayers who forgo the shots still get sick and infect the rest of us, so they are not just a danger to themselves, they contribute to the overall problem. When you take these people into account, and factor in apathy from the rest of the population, you begin to realize that we may not have advanced sufficiently as a culture to outmaneuver the kind of threat that pandemic influenza still presents. But really I have only scratched the surface of this complex issue. You can read a fascinating account of the true dimensions of pandemic influenza in Survive Pandemic Flu, which you can find here: http://www.survivepandemicflu.com/go/nickname/ You will also find everything you need to know about how to protect yourself in the event that you do not get access to a protective vaccine, and how to treat someone from home if getting medical treatment becomes impractical in a real crisis situation. Sincerely, [Your Name]

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are You Hyping The Pandemic Threat Simply To Sell Your Book?

No. Pandemic influenza has the potential to be just as deadly to us today as it has demonstrated itself to be in episodes past. None of the fundamental biology of influenza pandemics has changed over the centuries, so we are just as exposed today. While it is true that we understand the science so much better, human behavior has not changed all that much with regard to dealing with crisis events. We simply are not mentally prepared for these, and we make many of the same mistakes each time we are faced with a pending disaster. Educating ourselves, which is the aim of Survive Pandemic Flu, is one of the best ways to prepare and protect ourselves against threats of this nature.

2. What Is The Best Promotion Strategy For This Product?

Because Survive Pandemic Flu is NOT priced very highly I recommend that you do NOT use costly PPC campaigns as a promotion strategy. The exception would be if you can find a way to get really cheap clicks (say for 5 cents or less). So while PPC is possible, I would say it requires some ingenuity, and you are better off promoting the book through existing email lists, and by using sites that allow you to add web copy - like Squidoo, Hubpages, WetPaint, and the like.

3. How Can I Be Sure That I'll Get Paid On Time - Or At All?

ClickBank manages the affiliate program for my ebook. So the customer actually pays ClickBank directly and they in turn pay you. That means your commission is credited to you the moment the sale is processed. You're never waiting on me to pay you. ClickBank pays you every two weeks, like clockwork.

Affiliate Conduct

Before you promote my product, I only have one request: Please don't "spam" people.

And I'm not just talking about the illegal kind (see the clarification on spamming below).

I'm also talking about the overall approach taken to promoting my product. Please make sure that you are not being overly "hypey" when you contact your subscribers or client-base, publish ads/articles or otherwise drive targeted traffic.

Your target audience is huge, since a pandemic threatens everyone in the community. You simply need to point people towards the sales page and remind them that nobody is immune, and that education is their number one means to avoid having to deal with the fallout of a pandemic that overtakes their community. If you simply do that there is a very good chance that your traffic will convert. I can guarantee that if Survive Pandemic Flu has competitors, they cannot hold a candle to the content found in this book - a simple consequence of the fact that very few writers have a good understanding of this complex subject, and I happen to be one of them.

Thanks so much in advance for your promotional efforts.
