QUESTION # 1:
"How long has the Big Dogs program been around, and has it been a
success?"
ANSWER # 1: The "Secrets of the
Big Dogs" ebook was launched to the public on March 24, 2001.
When we first launched "Secrets of the Big Dogs, we felt that
maybe - just MAYBE - we would sell 100 copies or so a month.
Within the first six months we sold over 11,000
copies!
This far surpassed our wildest expectations, and
made "Secrets" one of the Internet's all-time best sellers
in it's category! What I came to find out was that the
experiences that I had had starting out are shared by almost
EVERYONE on the Internet! I came to find out that virtually
everyone goes through their own, individual "year of
horror."
This "commonality of
experience" is what I believe has led to the unexpected and explosive
success of "Secrets of the Big Dogs."
We have Big Dogs in every state in the United
States, every province of Canada, every territory of Australia, in
over 150 countries worldwide, and all 24 international time zones!
Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week SOMEone, SOMEwhere is
using the Big Dogs system to promote an existing program, or the Big
Dogs program itself!
I am especially proud of the fact that as of March
24, 2009, we began our ninth year of successful
operations! Considering
that 95% of Internet companies don't even last for one year -
and only about 1% last two years - our longevity is a
testimony to the genuine value and long-term stability of the Big
Dogs program!
We must be doin' SOMETHIN' right! A whole
lotta people must like us!
AND!...
...because we update the entire Big Dogs
program once or even twice each year to reflect the changing
Internet marketing environment, the Big Dogs program doesn't go
"out of date." If a certain technique no longer
works, it is removed from the Big Dogs program; when we
come across a new technique that works we add it to the
program. The business of the Internet is constantly changing
and the Big Dogs program changes with it!
Remember that regardless of what program, product,
or service a person wants to promote - they will always need traffic
for their website! This is precisely what the Big Dogs program
provides - "Don't dig for gold, sell the shovels!"
- and why we will ALWAYS be able to attract new members.
QUESTION # 2: "How
many people who purchase the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook
go on to become Alpha Dogs and join the CHIP programs?"
ANSWER # 2: Good question! And,
once again, we were pleasantly surprised!
Prior to launch we had projected a
"conversion rate" of between 8% and 10%. In other
words we felt that of every 100 ebook purchasers, 8 or 10 would go
on to become Alpha Dogs.
We can proudly say that our conversion rate
consistently stands at between 18% and 20%!!! DOUBLE what we
assumed it would be!
Obviously the pure LOGIC of the program - the
access to an unlimited supply of targeted leads, the huge income
potential, and the simplicity of being able to EFFECTIVELY promote
multiple programs simultaneously - has proven to be a VERY popular
concept!
QUESTION # 3:
"Why should I become an Alpha Dog and join ALL of
the programs in the CHIP?"
ANSWER # 3: Simple. One of the big LIES of
Internet marketing is that there is just ONE program out there
somewhere that can be "all things to all people." The
TRUTH is that, although each of the CHIP programs have been
individually field-tested and proven to work, no ONE program
can possibly come close to giving you ALL the traffic you’ll ever
need! You can’t ever get "enough" traffic! You
must ask yourself if you really, sincerely WANT to achieve success
on the Internet – then you must ask yourself if you are willing
and able to pay the PRICE for that success.
In addition, of course, as an Alpha Dog you have
an unparalleled opportunity to generate a substantial ongoing,
residual income by sharing the Big Dogs program with other Internet
marketers.
QUESTION # 4: "But
am I required to join ALL
the C.H.I.P. programs?"
ANSWER # 4: You’re not
"required" to do anything! Obviously we can’t force you
to do something you’re not comfortable with. In fact, if you’re
not completely convinced of the power of the CHIP program, we would
be the first ones to tell you to do NOTHING. The CHIP was designed
specifically for that breed of individual who has a true desire to
make a long-term, successful, full-time Internet business – and
can comfortably afford it.
The total ongoing monthly commitment for all
programs in the CHIP is an
absurdly small figure compared to traditional businesses.
In the offline world, you couldn't hire a secretary for one week for
that paltry sum!
But we also understand that that amount may not
fit the budgets of everyone, even though they sincerely want to
establish an Internet business! Therein lies the true beauty of the
Big Dog concept – it’s incredible flexibility!…..
- If you do NOTHING but follow the advice and
pointers in your copy of "Secrets of the Big Dogs,"
this will enormously improve your chances at being a successful
netpreneur!
- If you decide you don’t wish to join ANY of
the CHIP programs, you can STILL generate a nice income by
promoting the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook and
earning yourself a tidy 40% commission per sale!
- You may decide to join just a few of the CHIP
programs right now, and then ADD additional programs
periodically. That’s fine too, and we certainly
understand.
- Finally, of course, you can "move to the
front of the pack" as an Alpha Dog by joining all
of the CHIP programs NOW!
QUESTION # 5: "I just
want to make sure I have this right... I don't have to join
ALL the CHIP programs at one time?"
ANSWER # 5: That is correct!
Understand that when designing the Big Dogs program, it was our desire
to construct a program that each person could tailor to their own
individual circumstances. We wanted to construct a program
that an experienced person with "deep pockets," OR a newbie
with little disposable income, could BOTH be comfortable with.
If you are at ease joining ALL of the CHIP programs,
that's fine. BUT... if you feel comfortable joining just a few
of the programs to start, well, that's fine, too. As your
experience progresses, you can then join additional programs.
Naturally, your sponsor’s ID will remain as
the link for each program you do not join in your Signup
Module. However, when you later join more of the CHIP
programs, we would then update your Module with your new reseller
URL's.
QUESTION # 6: "You
say that just by promoting the 'Secrets of the Big Dogs' ebook ONLY, I
am actually promoting multiple programs at the same time. I'm
still not quite sure I understand. Could you explain the concept
once more?"
ANSWER # 6: Certainly! This is
without doubt the "sweetest" part of the whole Big Dogs
program. BUT!...because it is so unique, it CAN be a little
difficult to grasp immediately. So let's go through it once
more in step-by-step fashion:
Step 1 - The whole process starts with the
website for the sale of the "Secrets of the Big Dogs"
ebook. (This is the website that has the headline at the top, "YOU
Are About to Become a Thoroughbred of Internet Marketing!"
Remember it?)
Your prospect ( we'll call him "Joe")
has naturally reached this site because of one of your ads
that he has seen. Your ad, of course, contains a URL so Joe
can actually get to the sales site, right? This URL is a very
SPECIAL one. It is called a "ClickBank hop-link"
and is a specially configured URL completely unique to YOU
because it contains YOUR personal Big Dogs ID.
This individualized URL is how your sales are
tracked, and how we know just WHICH Alpha Dog was responsible for
that sale.
Step 2 - Now let's say that Joe reads
the sales page, likes what he sees, and decides to purchase the
"Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook for $19.95.
Because he got to the sales page using YOUR
personal ClickBank hop-link URL, ClickBank IMMEDIATELY credits you
with the sale and puts the 43.7% commission ($8.72) into your
account.
Step 3 - Let's go on to say, then,
that Joe has studied the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook
and feels that becoming an Alpha Dog sounds like a great idea.
In order to sign up for the CHIP programs
UNDER YOU, Joe would now need your customized Signup Module.
Remember...your customized Signup Module contains your
individual reseller ID's. Joe is supplied with your Signup
Module by the Big Dogs home office. Then, as Joe signs up for
each of the CHIP programs, YOU earn a commission from each one he
joins!
Thus, you have promoted just one URL - your
ClickBank hop-link URL - which led Joe to the sales site for the
"Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook. IT IS THEN THE
"SECRETS OF THE BIG DOGS" EBOOK WHICH DOES THE SELLING
OF THE MULTIPLE CHIP PROGRAMS FOR YOU!
In other words you
promoted just one URL, which promoted multiple URL's on your
behalf!
Got it!?
QUESTION # 7: "Could
you be a little more specific about exactly what a 'Signup Module'
actually IS?"
ANSWER # 7: Certainly! Your
Signup Module is actually a web page which resides on the main Big
Dogs website.
It is configured individually for each Alpha Dog
and contains a list of your personal reseller URL's for each of the
CHIP programs that you supply to us after you join them. Each
of your reseller URL's in your signup Module is a
"hot-link." All Joe has to do is to click on each
one to go to that specific CHIP company to sign up under YOU.
YOUR Signup Module web page has a unique URL which
is different from the Signup Module URL of every other Alpha Dog.
When Joe decides to become an Alpha Dog, we send him the URL for
YOUR customized Signup Module.
To see a sample, non-working Signup Module, click
here and then click your browser's "back" button to
return to this page.
QUESTION # 8:
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Now I understand how the
system works. BUT!...how do I get one of those 'ClickBank
hop-links?' How do I get my own 'Signup Module' with my reseller
ID's in it? And how do you know to send Joe MY signup
Module?"
Answer # 8: Patience, my friend!
We'll be covering ALL these items in Chapter 8.
QUESTION # 9:
"What if I am ALREADY a member of some of the CHIP
programs?"
ANSWER # 9: Wonderful! This would not
change your existing organization in those particular programs one
bit!
Remember that it’s YOUR reseller ID that
we "plug into" your customized Signup Module – whether
that ID is one you already have, or it’s your new
one that you’ll be getting after you sign up for the CHIP programs
as outlined in the next chapter. So any existing downline you
already have in a particular program would remain completely intact – NOTHING would
change.
QUESTION # 10: "I’ve
always heard that it is not wise to try to promote more than one
program at once – that you lose your focus."
ANSWER # 10: Ordinarily you would be
correct.
My personal experience in marketing over the last
30 years, has shown that for
the average marketer (both online and offline) the biggest mistake
they can make is trying to promote too many programs at one time.
However, what makes the CHIP program so different is that you are
actually only promoting one program – and that’s the
"Secrets of the Big Dogs."
It’s the Secrets of the Big Dogs ebook
that does all the promoting of the CHIP programs FOR you!
QUESTION # 11: "Since
your ultimate goal is to have people join the various CHIP programs,
why do you charge $19.95 for the ‘Secrets of the Big Dogs'
ebook?"
ANSWER # 11: There are two reasons. First
of all, even if you choose not to join ANY of the CHIP programs,
"Secrets of the Big Dogs" will provide invaluable insights
to help you achieve Internet marketing success. If you heed the
advice contained in "Secrets," you can save hundreds, if
not thousands of dollars on items you now know do not work.
Frankly, the "Secrets of the Big Dogs"
ebook all by itself is well worth
the $19.95, and we have hundreds of testimonials to that effect.
Secondly, and more importantly, WE ONLY WANT TO
ATTRACT SERIOUS PEOPLE! It has been proven time and time
again, that when someone is asked to invest, even a small, token
amount of money (such as $19.95), they are far, FAR more apt to take
what they are purchasing seriously. This simple tactic discourages
those folks whose daily goal on the Internet is to do nothing more
than break their previous day’s total for "most
free programs joined."
QUESTION # 12: "How
do I get paid?"
ANSWER # 12: Your commission on each sale
of the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook is 43.7% of $19.95,
or $8.72. As you may have noticed when you first made YOUR
purchase, ebook sales are handled for us through the online
transaction agency "ClickBank."
ClickBank sends you a check every two weeks
for the commissions you've earned from your sales of the ebook.
Commissions from the CHIP programs are
sent to you by the individual CHIP companies once each month, by
check, in U.S. funds. (Note: Most of the CHIP companies
will also pay commissions via PayPal.)
Think about THAT for a moment! With two checks
from ClickBank plus checks from all the CHIP companies, you
have the potential of earning a BUNCH of paychecks a month!
You are gonna start to LOVE opening your mailbox!
QUESTION # 13: "Is
there any training available? Or am I just 'left out in the
cold' after I join?"
ANSWER # 13: I think you can sense by
now that the Big Dogs organization is not the type to lets you out in
the cold after we get your money! You'll be happy to know that
Big Dogs has some of the BEST training available of any program on
the Internet!
When you upgrade to Alpha Dog, you will be given
the URL for our special, member's-only "Big
Dogs Training Site." And, all modesty aside, our
Training Site is a thing of beauty and simplicity! Written in
"newbie-speak," the Training Site takes you by the hand,
and in a step-by-step, "paint-by-the-numbers" style,
shows you exactly WHAT to do and WHEN to do it. For example,
one of the many key benefits of
the Training Site is our much heralded series of "Fast-Track
Tutorials."
What are the "Fast-Track
Tutorials?"
Well, most of us know how time consuming it can be to
become familiar enough with just ONE new program to be able to use
it effectively. And
there are SEVERAL programs that will probably be new to you in the
C.H.I.P! Initially, that sounds like a pretty daunting task,
doesn't it!?
Ah, but our "Fast-Track
Tutorials" are designed to get you up-and-running with
each of the C.H.I.P programs in a matter of MINUTES!!!
Y'see, there is a separate Fast-Track Tutorial for
each one of the C.H.I.P. programs. Each tutorial shows you in
a "Step 1-do this, Step 2-do that, Step 3-now do this..."
manner precisely how to set up all the C.H.I.P. programs with
no confusion or frustration - even if you've never done
anything like this before!
And!... once you have your C.H.I.P. programs all
set up, our Training Site gives you a systematic game plan to follow
that will allow you to finish all of your routine marketing
chores in just minutes a day! No that's NOT a misprint!
Using the Big Dogs techniques, you'll be able to finish all of your
basic promotional tasks before you finish your first cup of coffee
in the morning!
With the Big Dogs Training Site, your days of living on your computer are gone for good!
Your computer will stop taking away your LIFE and start giving
you a LIVING!
QUESTION # 14: "Do
you assist me with writing ads? I can't even write a good
shopping list, let alone an effective ad."
ANSWER # 14: Once AGAIN, the Big Dogs
program has that area covered!
While we encourage you to write your own ads,
and even instruct you how to do that, we realize that not everyone
is an ad-writing genius. We also realize that you new folks
want to get up-and-running F-A-S-T-! Today! Right
here! NOW!!! You want to start generating sales immediately,
while you're working on your own ad writing technique.
That's why our Training Site also includes the
Big Dogs "Ad Vault."
The Ad Vault contains a HUGE series of
preformatted, dynamite ads designed to promote the Big Dogs
program. Hard-hitting, attention-getting, sales-generating
ads! All YOU have to do is copy and paste an ad of your
choice into the C.H.I.P. programs (the Fast-Track Tutorials show
you how to do this!), and - SHAZAM! - you're set to go!
QUESTION # 15: "What
about support? What if I have a question or a problem regarding any of
the CHIP programs?"
ANSWER # 15: NO SWEAT! Bear in mind
that each of the CHIP programs was designed by it's owners as a
completely independent program, and each is a completely
independent company. Thus, each program has it's own
set of on-site tutorials on how to use it! Also, one of our
criteria in selecting the programs in the CHIP is that they must
give above average customer support. Any time you have questions or
problems, each of the CHIP companies can be emailed or, in a number
of cases, even called on the telephone!
QUESTION # 16:
"But what about support from the Big Dogs Home Office,
itself?"
ANSWER # 16: Specific questions
concerning any of the individual CHIP programs should, of course, be
initially directed to that particular company itself, since
it was they who designed and maintain their company's program.
They are naturally the "experts" on their own program!
But the staff of the Big Dogs Home Office is
always available DIRECTLY, for any questions or problems.

Attn: Stan Stuchinski
POB 275
506 Allegheny Street, Suite 2
Hollidaysburg, PA 16648
We are located in the Eastern Time Zone of the
United States. Normal office hours are 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. As you can imagine,
we receive a LOT of correspondence (500 to 1,000 emails, alone, each
DAY!). Thus we will ordinarily respond to your message within
one to two BUSINESS days.
Heck, you can even meet with us IN PERSON, if you
so desire! We welcome visitors, and lunch will even be on us!
Make sure, however, that if you plan on a visit, to arrange an
appointment at least a week in advance.
In addition, for added support, EVERYONE who purchases the ebook
(Alpha Dog or not) receives their regular edition of the Big Dog
Bulletin. As mentioned before, each issue of the Big Dogs
Bulletin keeps everyone abreast of what's happening in the
organization, as well as supplying you with the latest in cutting
edge marketing and traffic building techniques. Since
EVERYONE receives it, the Big Dogs Bulletin also serves a very
useful function for you, as a team builder, since it
encourages those who "haven't made the move yet," to
upgrade to Alpha Dog status!
QUESTION # 17:
"What if I should want to drop out of the Big Dogs program.
Am I under any long term financial commitment?"
ANSWER # 17: Certainly not!
Your commitment is on a month-to-month basis only, and you are free
to discontinue your memberships in any of the CHIP programs at any
time. You simply need to inform that particular company's Home
Office of your decision.
QUESTION # 18:
"Do I HAVE to promote the Big Dogs program? I am already
involved in a program that I'm content with."
ANSWER # 18: The leads generated by
the CHIP programs are 100% generic - they may be used to promote ANY program,
product, or service that is legal and non-adult-oriented.
Many of our Alpha Dogs don't promote the Big Dogs
program at all - like you, they already have a favorite
program that they wish to promote. Other Alpha Dogs, although
they are promoting another, main program, also promote Big Dogs in a
simple "signature file" at the bottom of their main
sales message. Finally, of course, there are those Alpha Dogs
that promote Big Dogs exclusively, although they are certainly not required
to.
In fact, the amazing flexibility of the Big Dogs
program again becomes apparent:
- You could promote just ONE, favorite program
with ALL of the leads, all the time.
- Since the leads are generated by multiple CHIP programs, if you desired, you could actually
promote MULTIPLE programs or products of your choice each day.
- You could use HALF the leads to promote ONE
program, and half to promote ANOTHER program.
- You could use ALL the leads one day to
promote one program, and then use the next day's leads
to promote another, different program.
- And so on...
Obviously, the uses of your daily CHIP leads are
limited only by your own imagination and inventiveness.
QUESTION # 19: "Since
all of the CHIP programs offer a ‘free reseller opportunity," I
can actually join all these programs for free, right?"
ANSWER # 19: (sigh) If you are REALLY
asking this question, you haven’t been paying attention! In
Chapter Three we covered extensively the topic of "free
programs." We discussed the fact that the "free"
portion of any program is put there mainly to fulfill the
"letter of the law," and that little, if any, real benefit
is derived from them.
If you really think that you can "beat the
system," join a ton of free programs, and actually be an
Internet marketing success, my friend, you are in for a tragic
disappointment.
Additionally, "free" members are NOT
accepted into the Big Dog organization, are NOT eligible for a
customized Signup Module, and are NOT emailed the Big Dogs Bulletin!
QUESTION # 20:
"What is the $10.00 per month 'Big Dogs Administration
Fee?'"
ANSWER # 20: The monthly
Administration Fee covers our costs to configure and maintain
the THOUSANDS of customized Signup Modules that reside on the Big
Dogs server, as well as making necessary changes, additions, and
deletions. With an affiliate network as large as OURS, you can
imagine that this is an on-going, very labor-intensive job for our
staff.
It may comfort you to know that, other than the
Administration Fee, the ONLY way that the Big Dogs Home Office
earns on-going income is the very same way that YOU do -
from sales of the ebook and from residual commissions paid by the
individual CHIP companies.
But, when you stop and think about it,
there's a BIG difference!.....
If you'll recall, the deepest paying compensation
plan by any of the CHIP programs pays down 10 levels. Due to
the enormous, continuing success of the Big Dogs program, however,
we have new Alpha Dogs that are coming into the program OVER ONE
HUNDRED LEVELS DEEP - one hundred levels BELOW Home Office!
Obviously such Alpha Dogs, since they are below Level 10, generate
no income whatsoever for the Big Dogs Home Office, yet they must
STILL be given the same level of support that a Level 1 Alpha Dog
receives!
Let's take an extreme example:
Let us assume
that you become an Alpha Dog eleven levels down from the Big Dogs
Home Office. Let's further assume that you are a SUPER
recruiter and manage to bring in a THOUSAND new Alpha Dogs on your
first level. (Your first level is Home Office's twelfth
level) Obviously you are gonna make a TON of money in residual
income - over $60,000 a month! However, because those thousand new
Alpha Dogs are twelve levels BELOW Home Office, we don't make a
nickel!
BUT!...we STILL have to cover the administrative
expenses associated with SERVICING those one thousand Alpha Dogs!
Thus, the monthly Administration Fee insures that
ALL our members can be given the necessary support, and that your
company remains profitable over the long haul. After all, WE
want to be around in the years to come, and I'm sure that YOU want
us to continue to be a solid, stable company that you can
count on for the foreseeable future!
QUESTION # 21:
"Am I required to pay the Administration Fee?"
ANSWER # 21: Yes. Whether
you are joining just one of the CHIP programs, or all of them.
The FIRST step in the Alpha Dog signup process (as we shall see in
the next chapter) is to become a "Basic Member" of the Big
Dogs organization by signing up for the Administration Fee.
This guarantees that your company can always cover the internal costs
associated with the support necessary for ALL members.
QUESTION # 22:
"The 'Super Bonuses' sound really great! But it would
take a BIG job to qualify for them. It almost seems like they're
designed ONLY for the 'big guns' - the superstars who ALREADY know
what they're doing - NOT for the 'little guy.'"
ANSWER # 22: Well, you're PARTIALLY
correct. The Super Bonuses are designed to ATTRACT the
"big guns," but to BENEFIT the "little
guns" - the folks who are definitely NOT established superstars
of Internet marketing.
Let me explain.....
You start promoting the Big Dogs program.
One of these "big guns" purchases the "Secrets of the
Big Dogs" ebook through one of your ads. (Remember that
because he purchased it through one of YOUR ads you are now his
sponsor.) ATTRACTED to the program because of the Super
Bonuses, he becomes an Alpha Dog under you. And, by golly, he
does live up to his reputation and ends up selling 1,000 ebooks in
one month. Statistically, of those 1,000 ebook purchasers, 200
should go on to become Alpha Dogs.
Now here's the important point:
Since YOU are the sponsor for that "big
gun," those 200 Alpha Dogs are not just in HIS downline -
they are in YOUR downline as well!!!
Nice, huh!? Once again, this illustrates the
"magic" of multi-level marketing. The Super Bonuses
may ATTRACT the "big guns," but they BENEFIT
several levels of "little guns!"
QUESTION # 23: "By
purchasing the "Secrets of the Big Dogs," and joining all of
the CHIP programs I am guaranteed of success, right?"
ANSWER # 23: WRONG! Your income potential
with the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" and the CHIP program is
enormous, but that doesn’t mean that you are guaranteed of
a huge, effortless income! As the old saying goes, "In
business there are no guarantees, only opportunities."
While our program is a truly phenomenal opportunity, YOU are
ultimately responsible for supplying the ambition, desire, drive,
patience, and consistency to make it a success for YOU.
No LEGITIMATE business can GUARANTEE anyone
of success.
QUESTION # 24: "WAIT!
I have a few more questions that haven’t been answered here!"
