-CHAPTER 8-
"LET’S GET STARTED!"
SIGNING UP FOR THE CHIP PROGRAMS!

The "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook is continuously updated to keep up with current Internet marketing trends.  Programs may be added or deleted, and directions and company policies may change.  It may be some time since you purchased and printed out your copy.

So...if you are reading right now from a PRINTED copy of the ebook, your first step should be to go back to.....

http://BigDogSecrets.com/thebook.htm

.....to make sure that you are using the most current version.  (The online version is, naturally, the most up-to-date.)  The current edition of the ebook is given at the top of the Table of Contents page - make sure that it matches the edition that you are using to sign up for the C.H.I.P. programs!

Your sponsor is the person through whom you originally purchased the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook.

In order for your sponsor to receive his proper commission credit when you sign up for the C.H.I.P. programs, you must go to the each C.H.I.P. website by way of your sponsor's reseller URL for each program.  Your sponsor's reseller URL's for all of the C.H.I.P. programs are contained in his or her "Signup Module."  A Signup Module is simply a separate web page (every Alpha Dog has his own) which lists all of your sponsor's reseller URL's.

Your sponsor's Signup Module URL is NOT sent to you automatically.  You must REQUEST it from the Big Dogs Home Office.

This is how you request your sponsor's Signup Module...

Send your request email to the Big Dogs Home Office (Our main email address is:  Stan@BigDogSecrets.com) in the following format...

In the subject line of your email be SURE and type ONLY:

I’m ready to run with the Big Dogs!

And in the body of the email, type in ONLY the six items of information below:

(1)  Your 10-digit 2CheckOut.com order number (from step 4,
      above)
(2)  Your 8-digit ClickBank receipt number (from when you
      originally purchased the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook - 
      this is NOT, I repeat, NOT your ClickBank nickname)
(3)  Your full first name AND last name
(4)  Your state (or country) of residence
(5)  Your home telephone number
(6)  Your MAIN email address

Put NOTHING else in this email.

That’s it!  Within one to two BUSINESS days the Big Dogs home office will send you an email containing the website URL for your direct sponsor's customized Signup Module, so you can start signing up for the CHIP programs.  This email will also contain other important information.  WATCH FOR IT!  The subject line in this email will simply be: "RE: I'm ready to run with the Big Dogs," and the email address from which it will be coming is, of course, our main email address:  "ThePowerTeam2000@cs.com"

And... when you receive it, print it out for your files.

IMPORTANT!
Do NOT - under any circumstances - start to sign up for the CHIP programs UNTIL you receive this email!

(Don't worry!  We have PLENTY for you to do while you're waiting for it!)

YOUR CLICKBANK “HOP-LINK” – A BRIEF TUTORIAL

By far the most important step in becoming involved in the Secrets of the Big Dogs program is to set up what is called your ClickBank “hop-link.” Let's first see just what ClickBank is, and then we'll show you how to set up your own "hop-link" that will take your prospects to YOUR "Secrets of the Big Dogs" sales page.

Section I.  What is ClickBank?

ClickBank is an online transaction agency used by thousands of web-based businesses.  ClickBank’s payment technology enables the Big Dogs company to automatically pay sales commissions to our affiliates (that’s YOU!) whenever you sell a copy of the “Secrets of the Big Dogs” ebook to a customer.  Your customers can purchase the ebook using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Eurocard, Novus, and bank debit cards – cards from virtually any country are accepted.

For those who do not have - or prefer not to use - credit cards, ClickBank also accepts online check payments, as well as PayPal.

(Note:  The ONLY way your customers may purchase the “Secrets of the Big Dogs” ebook is through ClickBank, using one of the above credit or debit cards, or with an online check, or with PayPal  For a number of reasons we do NOT accept other online types of transaction agents.  We also do not accept online checks through the Big Dogs Home Office, “phone” checks, or payment of any kind through snail-mail.)

Now, then, here’s exactly what ClickBank does:

1)    Whenever your prospect purchases a copy of the “Secrets of the Big Dogs” ebook from our sales site, ClickBank electronically validates your prospect's bank card or checking account.  ClickBank then debits your prospect (now your customer!) a one-time $19.95 for access to the ebook.

2)    Immediately, ClickBank emails your customer a receipt for this purchase, giving him all details of the transaction, as well as a transaction number or Ticket Number.

3)    ClickBank also maintains in your private ClickBank Member's Area a database of all the important information regarding your ebook sales.  This information includes your customer's first and last name, email address, receipt number, date of sale, etc.

4)     In addition to sending a notification of the sale to the purchaser, ClickBank sends a notification to the Big Dogs Home Office.  Thus, a complete database of ALL sales made by all Big Dogs affiliates is maintained for us by ClickBank.

5)    ClickBank pays you your commissions for sales you make of the “Secrets of the Big Dogs” ebook!  Currently you make $8.72 for each ebook you sell, and you receive a check from ClickBank (NOT the Big Dogs Home Office) twice each month.

Section II.  What is a ClickBank “hop-link,” how does it work, and why is it so important?

With the Big Dogs concept you can effectively market, not just one program, but ALL of the programs in the C.H.I.P. - SIMULTANEOUSLY!  Incredibly, you only need to promote one, "special" URL.  That "special" URL is what is called your ClickBank "hop-link"  (Each Big Dogs affiliate has their own, unique hop-link.)

It's an amazingly simple yet powerful concept, isn't it!?  You simply concentrate on selling the ebook (using your ClickBank hoplink).  Then it's the ebook that "takes over" from there and sells all the C.H.I.P programs FOR you!

Here's a quick overview of how the system works...

What happens first:  Let's say a prospect reads one of the ads that you'll eventually be sending out.  Mr. Prospect likes what he reads in your ad and clicks on your hoplink to go to your Big Dogs sales site to learn more.  (Obviously, you must place your hoplink in ALL of your ads.)  A ClickBank hop-link is also called a “re-direct URL” because it automatically “re-directs” a prospect from one website to another.

What happens second:  Your hoplink first takes Mr. Prospect to the ClickBank site for a split second.  The fraction of a second that your prospect is at the ClickBank site is when he is electronically "connected" to YOUR individual ClickBank account.

What happens third:  Mr. Prospect is then automatically and instantaneously re-directed to the sales website for the “Secrets of the Big Dogs” ebook.  This "redirect" process is all electronic, of course, and happens so rapidly that Mr. Prospect never even knows he's been at the ClickBank site.

What happens last:  When Mr. Prospect then goes on to purchase the ebook, YOUR ClickBank account is credited with the sale!

It's that simple... and ALL automatic!

ClickBank handles online transactions for THOUSANDS of companies, but all hop-links are in a similar basic format.  ALL ClickBank hoplinks are in the following generic form:

http://affiliate.company.hop.clickbank.net

In the case of the “Secrets of the Big Dogs” program, “AFFILIATE” will be replaced with your personal ClickBank nickname (Don't worry!  We'll be showing you how to set up your very own ClickBank nickname in just a second.)  “COMPANY” will be replaced with “bigdogs”  Let’s assume, for example, that your name is John Smith, so you choose for your ClickBank nickname “johnsmith”  (You can use ANYTHING as your nickname, by the way – it does NOT have to be your name.)  Your ClickBank hop-link that you will use to promote the Big Dogs program will then be:

http://johnsmith.bigdogs.hop.clickbank.net

Your ClickBank hoplink is the ONLY URL you will ever need to promote or advertise the entire Big Dogs program, including all of the programs in the C.H.I.P!!

Section III.  How do I get a ClickBank hop-link?

It’s simple, free, and takes just five minutes to get your ClickBank nickname, and to complete your hop-link for the Big Dogs program.  Just go to the following site:

http://www.clickbank.com/accountSignup.htm?key=

This will take you to the “ClickBank Signup Form.”  This is a VERY easy form to complete, but we’re going to walk you through it:

Area 1 (“Where Shall We Send Your Checks”) is pretty much self-explanatory.  Just make sure all the information is correct and DOUBLE check it.  In the first block make sure you put your COMPLETE first and last name, or your full company name – this is to whom ClickBank will make your checks “payable to” You will notice that there is a drop-down menu showing all of the countries that ClickBank deals with.  (Note:  ClickBank currently accepts clients from over 100 countries.  Unfortunately, if YOUR country of residence is not listed, ClickBank canNOT offer you an account.  There are NO exceptions)

In Area 2 ("How Can We Contact You?"), put your full first and last name.  Give ClickBank your MAIN email address – this is where ClickBank will contact you with important messages.  Enter your home telephone number in case of emergencies.  Let “address of your website” blank.

Area 3 ("Select A Nickname for Your New Account") is where you select your nickname.  Remember that your nickname is what you will enter into your hop-link to make it function.  ClickBank allows you to pick any combination of 5-10 letters and/or digits. However, we recommend using your "standard username."  This is the standard username you decided on in Step 8, above which consists of 6-8 numbers and lower case letters.  (For the sake of consistency, by the way, we also use your ClickBank nickname as your Big Dogs ID.)

(Note:  If you ALREADY have a ClickBank account and nickname, you may use the one you currently have, IF you desire.  You would simply insert your existing nickname into the standard format of the Big Dogs hop-link)

Area 4 ("Agree to Our Terms and Conditions") Read the rules at the bottom of the page and click the rectangular gray  "Submit" button.

You will be taken to page 2 of the ClickBank Signup Form..

As this page states, an eight digit "confirmation code" has just been emailed to you at the address you entered on the previous page.  DO NOT CLOSE THE PAGE YOU ARE ON!  Instead, while keeping open the "Confirm Your Email Address" page, open your main email box and the email you just received from the ClickBank Home Office.  The subject line of this email will be, "confirmation code" and the email address from which it is sent is, "notify@clickbank.com"

Print out this email for your files.

Highlight and copy the confirmation code you find in this email to your windows clipboard, and close your email box.  Now paste your confirmation code into the space provided on the "Confirm Your Email Address" page (or simply type it into the space from the email you just printed out.)  Click on the rectangular gray "Finish" hotlink button.

You will be taken to the final page of the ClickBank Signup Form which will indicate that, "Your new account has been created."

This page contains your nickname, as well as your password.  You will need BOTH your nickname and password to login to your account to check your stats or access your account.  Print out this page for your files.

You may now close the ClickBank site.

Enter YOUR ClickBank username (your "nickname") and password onto your Master Information Sheet.  Also enter your nickname into the standard "hoplink."

Section IV.  Testing Your ClickBank hoplink.

If you don't use the correct ClickBank hoplink you will NOT make any sales - plain and simple.

We have found that the main reason a new affiliate is not making any sales is because they are using their hop-link improperly.  So we are now going to test your hoplink to make SURE that your prospects are going to the correct page - YOUR purchase page.

1.  Copy and paste your ClickBank hoplink into your browser, and click to go to the initial sales page for the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook.

2.  You should now be on the page with "YOU are about to become a thoroughbred of Internet marketing!" at the top.

3.  WAIT!  HOLD IT!  STOP!  Before we proceed, take just a moment to look in your browser window again.  You will notice that a strange thing has happened.  When you first entered your hoplink into your browser window, it was in the form of.....

http://nickname.bigdogs.hop.clickbank.net

.....but now it has mysteriously changed to this form.....

http://bigdogsecrets.com/?hop=nickname

Huh!?  What gives!?  Where's THAT come from!?  Not to worry.  It's SUPPOSED to do that.  This second form is called the "resolved" form of the hoplink.  We are not going to go into a lengthy technical discussion of why this happens, but you must understand one very, VERY important thing.  A lot of beginning affiliates see that hoplink change and they assume that it's the second, "resolved" form that they are supposed to promote.  This is not the case!

It's OK for your hoplink to change to the "resolved" form AFTER a prospect gets to the site - it's supposed to do that - and you WILL be credited with the sale.  However, if a prospect gets to the site initially by way of the "resolved" form, you will NOT be credited with the sale.

So the bottom line is this:  Do NOT use the resolved form of your hoplink in your advertising!  Use the UN-RESOLVED form!!!

In other words:

Use THIS... http://nickname.bigdogs.hop.clickbank.net

And not THIS... http://bigdogsecrets.com/?hop=nickname

4.  Now, then...scroll down to the very bottom of the sales page until you see the dark maroon block stating, "Click HERE to Purchase YOUR Copy of 'Secrets of the Big Dogs'"

5.  Click on this link and you will be taken to the "ClickBank Secure Order Form"

6.  Now, there is no need to fill in any of the purchase information - just scroll to the very bottom of the page.  You will see the text...

[affiliate="your-nickname"]

If it is YOUR nickname that appears after "affiliate=", you are using your hoplink correctly.

In other words, let's assume you are using the nickname of "mary1234"  Then, when you get to the "ClickBank Secure Order Form" page, you should see...

[affiliate=mary1234]

If it is NOT your nickname that appears in those brackets you MAY have done something wrong - go through Part V, below, for a fix and then test your hoplink again.

After you are done testing your hoplink you may then close the ClickBank purchase page and continue on to Step 10.

Section V.  What to Check If It Appears That Your Hoplink is Not Working Properly.

1.  Did you make sure to formally register your desired nickname with ClickBank, and receive verification from them that it was accepted?  Some beginning affiliates, overly enthusiastic and anxious to get started, don't read our instructions carefully.  They assume that they can pick any nickname and just plug it into the standard hoplink format, WITHOUT first registering it at the ClickBank site.  (As we explained in PART III, "How Do I Get A ClickBank Hoplink?")

2.  Recall that when YOU first purchased the ebook, like any other purchaser you received an email receipt from ClickBank.  Your receipt contains an eight character “Ticket Number” and looks something like this:  "A1B2C3D4"  Amazingly, a significant number of new Big Dog affiliates assume that this “Ticket Number” is their nickname and plug it into their hop-link.  If you do this you will not be credited with any sales!

3.  Take a look at Steve Baker's hop-link below and see if you can tell why it's not working for him.  (Steve is using the nickname of "fireman")

http://fireman.bigdog.hop.clickbank.net

Did you catch it?  That’s right – the company portion of the hop-link is given as “bigdog,” and NOT “bigdogs”  Many affiliates forget to put that “s” at the end (bigdogs is the plural form), and, once again, the hop-link will not work.  

4.  Did you copy and paste your hoplink into your browser and NOT type it in manually?  Y'know it's very easy to misplace a period or a colon or a slash when you're typing  long, complex URL's.  It's also very easy to type "cilckbank" instead of "clickbank," or "biggods" instead of "bigdogs."  And so on.  So always verify your hoplink and copy and paste it.

5.  Did you make the mistake of using the "resolved" form of your hoplink instead of the initial, "UN-resolved" form?

As a reminder, the wrong form (the "resolved" form) of your hoplink looks like this...

http://bigdogsecrets.com/?hop=nickname

The correct form (the "unresolved" form) of your hoplink looks like this...

http://nickname.bigdogs.hop.clickbank.net

6.  Finally, it may simply be a case of your browser "remembering" the PREVIOUS hoplink you used to get to the Big Dogs sales site.  (Generally this would be your sponsor's hoplink.)  To fix this, all you need to do is to "clean" your browser.  First, delete all temporary Internet files, cookies, and the history files from your browser.  Then shut down your computer and let it "rest" for three or four minutes.  Reboot your computer (in other words, turn it on again) and test your hoplink once more.  It should now work just fine.

7.  There ARE rare instances when, even after you have "cleaned" your browser as directed in # 6 above, when testing your hoplink it STILL shows the incorrect affiliate ID.  This is due to some computers storing cookies even after they have been deleted from your browser.  Once again, this is EXTREMELY rare, but if it occurs, simply go to a different computer and test your hoplink again.  It the correct affiliate ID now appears, that means that your hoplink DOES work when used on other computers.  Simply put, that means you are "good to go!"

STEP 11 - What to do after you receive the URL for your sponsor's signup Module

Have you completed Steps 1 through 10?  Excellent!

Now, then... in one to two business days after you have sent the Big Dogs Home Office the standard, "I'm ready to run with the Big Dogs" email, as outlined in Step 5, you will receive a very brief welcoming email from us.

The subject line of this email will simply be:
                    "RE: I'm ready to run with the Big Dogs"

The email address from which it will be coming is, of course, our main email address:
                    "Stan@BigDogSecrets.com"

This email contains your sponsor's Big Dogs ID.  It also contains the URL for a short, four-page website which will give you instructions on how to quickly configure the URL for your sponsor's Signup Module.  On this four-page website are other important items, so be sure and read it thoroughly.

Once configured, the URL for your sponsor's Signup Module will look like this:

http://bigdogsecrets.com/XXXXXXX.htm

....where the "X's" will be replaced by your sponsor's Big Dogs ID / ClickBank nickname.  (Remember:  to simplify things, we also use your ClickBank nickname as your Big Dogs ID)  For example, if your sponsor chose "hotdog" as his ClickBank nickname, his Big Dogs ID would ALSO be "hotdog," and his signup module URL would look like this:

http://bigdogsecrets.com/hotdog.htm

Now, then...assuming you have received the "RE:  I'm ready to run with the Big Dogs" email back from the Big Dogs Home Office and you have configured the URL for your sponsor's Signup Module, there are several points to keep in mind before you start signing up for the C.H.I.P. programs...

1.  Enter both your sponsor's Big Dogs ID (i.e. his ClickBank nickname) and his Signup Module URL onto your Master Information Sheet.

2.  Make your sponsor's Signup Module URL one of your "favorite places" in your browser.  You will be going back and forth between many different sites, opening and closing windows, and performing a number of different functions.  Making your sponsor's Signup Module website one of your favorite places will make it considerably easier to return to after you signup with each C.H.I.P. program.

3.  Have you printed out this chapter in hard copy form?  If you haven't, do it now.  Remember that your sponsor's Signup Module will be what is on your computer monitor - you will need a hard copy guide beside your computer to assist you in completing the signup process as quickly as possible.

4.  A word of caution!  When visiting these sites for the first time, beware of getting sidetracked! Most of these sites are quite complex and offer a host of "members only" benefits like free reports, downloads, ebooks, programs, and a lot of other "goodies."  It can be extremely confusing, to say the least!  Thus, it’s VERY easy to become lost "looking around." Also, most of the sites offer a number of "site customization features." Naturally, once you sign up for the programs you SHOULD spend time becoming familiar with the sites, but keep one thing in mind. No matter how fancy you make your site, few if ANY other human eyes will ever see it.

Your main reason for joining these programs is to "harvest" the leads generated by them.  But at THIS time don't be concerned about setting your sites up to retrieve leads or to send out sales messages.  We'll be guiding you through that process later, when we go through the Training Manual.

Right now, all we're interested in doing is

(1) joining each of the C.H.I.P. programs as a paid member, and

(2) obtaining your reseller URL.

In other words..."Get IN, get OUT, and move on to the next program!"

5.  If you are ALREADY a paying member of some of the CHIP programs, do NOT join those programs AGAIN – you will simply supply us with the reseller URL you have already been assigned. If you are already a FREE member of some of the CHIP programs then you will need to upgrade to the status of paying member before your reseller URL will be included in your customized signup Module.

6.  With some of the programs, when you become a "pro"-member (i.e. a "paying" member), you are AUTOMATICALLY enrolled in their affiliate program, and AUTOMATICALLY receive a reseller URL.

On the other hand, with other programs, becoming a pro-member and becoming an affiliate are TWO SEPARATE PROCEDURES.  Make sure before you move on to the next CHIP program that you specifically have your reseller, or affiliate, URL for that program, as well as your username and password.  Be sure to log this information onto your Master Information Sheet as you go from program to program.

7.  Most of the programs will email you your membership information and affiliate/reseller information.  A few, however, will give you that information, not in an email, but on the last screen of the website as you finish up your signup procedure.  Some do BOTH.  Therefore, to be on the safe side, we recommend that, should you come to a screen that lists this information, that you print it out and make it part of your file for that program.

8.  As you know, ANY website can "go down" or be temporarily unavailable for a variety of reasons.  Should this happen with one of the reseller URL's in your sponsor's Signup Module, DON'T panic and email the Big Dogs Home Office!  Simply wait for an hour or so and try again.  If it STILL doesn't work, just wait and try it again the next day.

9.  At the end of the enrollment process for each of the C.H.I.P. companies will be an "enroll now" or "submit" or "join now" or "click here" button, or something similar, to allow you to submit your enrollment information to that particular company.  Click this button just ONCE!  Depending on the Internet traffic at the time, as well as the speed of a particular company's internal enrollment programming, it may take several minutes for the process to complete.  DON'T GET "ANTSY" AND HIT THAT BUTTON MORE THAN ONCE!  You may either cause an error in your enrollment information or (worse yet!) cause your credit card to be billed multiple times.

10.  When accessing some of these sites, you may be confronted by some type of pop-up ad.  DON'T GET SIDETRACKED!  When confronted by a pop-up ad, close the pop-up ad immediately, and continue on to the main portion of the site.

11.  Relax, be patient, and TAKE-YOUR-TIME!!!  Some very experienced Internet users find themselves able to complete the signup procedures for all the C.H.I.P. programs in a half hour.  Others may take a few days.  Remember that we're not in a race here, and no one is timing you.  What counts is that everything is done correctly and ACCURATELY!

Summary:
For right now your main goals, in fact your ONLY goals, are to:

1)  Join each C.H.I.P. program as a paid member
2)  Obtain your reseller URL for each C.H.I.P. program

So... at the risk of sounding overly repetitive, again we want to stress... don't let yourself get side-tracked looking around at all the additional benefits each of the C.H.I.P. programs offers as you go through the signup directions below..  Follow our signup directions to the letter.  Go to each website, enroll as a paid member, and get your reseller URL - THAT'S IT!  As we stated above, "Get IN, get OUT, and move on to the next C.H.I.P. program!"

IMPORTANT!  IMPORTANT!  IMPORTANT!

PART B

Program 1: TrafficWave - $17.95 per month

A.  How to sign up for ProMembership

Step 1:
Click on the TrafficWave hotlink on your sponsor's Signup Module.  You will be taken to page 1 of your sponsor's TrafficWave website.

Step 2:
On page 1, in the upper left-hand corner you will see...

"Gather More Prospects..."
"Convert More Visitors..."
"Generate More Sales..."

Directly below those three sentences, you will see a thick gray bar running from left to right across the page.  In this gray bar you will see a row of seven hotlinks.  Click on the third hotlink from the left entitled, "Free 30 Day Trial"

You will be taken to page 2 of the TrafficWave website entitled, "Join TrafficWave.net Today"  (This sentence is in the upper left-hand corner of the page.)

Step 3:
Scroll down page 2 until you are at the bottom of the page. Now, a short distance up from the bottom you will see two large square boxes side-by-side.  The text right above these two boxes reads, "Two Options Available"  The light gray box on the left is entitled, "Free 30 Day Trial"  The light green box on the right is entitled "Active Membership"

At the bottom of the light green "Active Membership" box click on the text hotlink stating, "Open Your Active Account Now"

You will be taken to page 3 of the TrafficWave site.

Step 4:
On page 3, in the upper left-hand corner you will again see "TrafficWave.net" in large black letters.  Below this title you will see the phrase "TrafficWave.net ACTIVE Member Form" inside a large rectangular yellow box.

Scroll down the page until you reach the "TrafficWave.net Member Enrollment Form" area.

In the "Step 1 of 2: Customer Information" area, enter the requested personal information.   For the requested username enter your "standard" username - do NOT use any spaces, and use lower case letters and numbers ONLY.  (Note that the email address asked for is your MAIN email address.)

Directly below the Customer Information area is a large block containing the TrafficWave policies.  Immediately below this block is a tiny square box that you must check, signifying that you agree to the TrafficWave policies.  This box MUST BE CHECKED in order to continue.

Scroll down slightly, and click the light yellow "Enroll Now!" button near the bottom of the page.

You will be taken to Page 4 of the TrafficWave site, the "TrafficWave.net Enrollment Form - Step 2 of 2: Payment Information" area.

Step 5:
On Page 3 select your credit card preference and enter your credit card information.  Scroll down slightly, and click on the rectangular yellow "Submit Credit Card Payment" hotlink button.

Once your payment is verified you will be automatically taken to a generic "welcome" page.  Note that this page states at the top in red, "A welcome email with your password and login information has been sent to you at (your main email address)"

You should now close the TrafficWave site and go to your email box.

Step 6:
Actually, you will receive TWO emails:  The subject line of the first email reads, "Welcome to TrafficWave.net" and the subject line of the second email reads, "RECEIPT:  TrafficWave.net Membership"

Print out BOTH of these emails for your files.

Now, the second email is merely a one-page receipt for your credit card payment.  The first email, however, is three or four pages long and contains a lot of important information, which you should review at a later time.  Notice I said, "at a later time!" - right now the only thing that is important to obtain from the welcoming email is your username (which you chose) and your password (which is assigned to you by the TrafficWave Home Office).

Step 7:
Enrolling as a TrafficWave MEMBER (which you've just completed) does not automatically enroll you as a TrafficWave RESELLER.  You must be a reseller (i.e. "affiliate") to earn commissions.  In order to now become a reseller you must go to your "Back Office Login" page, at.....

http://www.trafficwave.net/login.html

In the blocks provided in the middle of the page, enter the username (which you chose when you signed up as a member) and password (which was assigned to you in the email you just received).  Remember that your username and password are both cASe SeNSitivE.  Click the rectangular gray "Login Now" button.

It is not labeled as such, but you will now be on the Affiliate Signup Page.  (In the top right corner you will see, "Please read and respond.")

Step 8:
There is no need to read all the text on this page!  Simply scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see four small check-block circles arranged vertically along the left side of the page.  Ignore the first check-block circle, and check the SECOND check-block circle which begins, "I have read and agree to abide by the policies of TrafficWave.net and wish to become an Independent Affiliate of TrafficWave.net"

If you are a U.S. citizen check the THIRD check-block circle and enter your social security or tax ID number.  If you are NOT a U.S. citizen ignore the third check-block circle, and check the FOURTH check-block circle.

Finally, at the very bottom-left of the page click on the "Submit Form and Return to Member's Area" hotlink.

You will be taken to the "TrafficWave.net Back Office" page.

Step 9:
In the "TrafficWave.net Back Office" we want to accomplish TWO important goals:

(1)  We want to obtain your reseller URL, and

(2)  We want to change your assigned password to your "standard" password so it will be easier to remember.

Step 10:  Obtaining Your Reseller URL:
Toward the center of your Back Office page is a large, square area which is your "Account Overview" area.  Running down the "Account Overview" area are five subtopic areas - "Autoresponder Profile," "AdTracker Profile," "Banner Overview," "FFA Profile," and "Affiliate Status"

Under the "Affiliate Status" area you will now find your reseller URL which can be found to the right of the text "Your Affiliate Site" which is the second of three items in the "Affiliate Status" area.  Your reseller URL will be in the following form...

http://www.trafficwave.net/members/YOUR-username

Step 11:  Changing Your Assigned Password:
Now scroll back up to the top of your "Back Office" page.

In the long, gray bar running from left to right across the top of the page are a row of seven text hotlinks.  Click on the fourth text link from the left entitled, "Admin"

You will now be on the "Account Admin - Review/Edit Profile" page.

Directly under the "Account Profile Overview" area, in the "Member Information" section you will see your username, your name, your email address, and your assigned password.  We now want to change you assigned password to your. more easily remembered standard password...

Scroll down and click on the long, gray "Click Here to Change Member Information" bar running across the center of the page.

You will be on the "Account Admin - Edit Member Profile" page.

Scroll down this page until you see the field that contains your newly assigned password.  Change this assigned password to your "standard" password, and then click the rectangular gray "Update Member Profile" button at the very bottom of the page.

From now on, when you login to your TrafficWave site, you can use your "standard" username and password - MUCH simpler!

You may now close the TrafficWave site.

B.  What your reseller URL will look like:

Your TrafficWave ID (which is also your username) is at the end of your reseller URL.  It is ALWAYS the name you chose when signing up.  Your TrafficWave reseller URL will ALWAYS look like this:

http://www.trafficwave.net/members/XXXXXX

Example:  http://www.trafficwave.net/members/hotdog

Finally, be sure to enter your reseller URL and username & password onto your Master Information Sheet.

You are now done signing up for TrafficWave, and should return to your sponsor's signup module to continue on to the next C.H.I.P. program.

A.  How to sign up for ProMembership

Step 1:
Click on the DailyTargetedLeads Network hotlink on your sponsor's Signup Module.  You will be taken to page 1 of your sponsor's DTL Network website.

Step 2:
Along the left margin is a vertical row of six rectangular dark blue hotlink buttons.  Click on the fourth hotlink button from the top entitled, "Upgrade."

You will be on page 2 of the DTL Network site - the "Upgrade to Professional Version" page.

Step 3:
Note that signing up for a ProMembership (i.e. paid membership) is a two-step process.  So on page 2, first of all scroll down to the first long block in the middle of the page titled, "Step 1 - Sign Up for a Basic Membership."  Click on the blue hotlink, and you will be taken to page 3 of the DTL Network site.

Step 4:
Page 3 is the "Join As A Free Basic Member" page.  (Remember that you have to join as a free member and THEN upgrade to paid member.)  Enter ALL of the requested information:  Using the drop-down menu to the right of "Please Select Where You Found Us," select "Referred By A Friend," which is the second-to-last choice.  The "email" requested is your MAIN email address.  Also make sure you check the small square box signifying you "agree" to the terms of service of the Member Agreement.  Leave the banner information with the default values.  To the right of "Email Format," check the "Plain Text" button.  Finally, UN-check the box to the right of the "Receive Email Offers from Affiliate Companies" block.  Now click the rectangular gray "Submit Form" button at the very bottom of the page.

You will be taken to page 4 of the DTL Network site, the "Thank you, (your-name)" page.

Step 5:
On page 4, do NOT check any of the selections on this page, but go DIRECTLY to the long gray hotlink button at the very bottom entitled, "Proceed to Complete Signup Process" and click on it.

You will be taken to page 5 of the DTL Network site, the "Thanks for Joining DTL Network" confirmation page.

Step 6:
Page 5 displays, among other information, your username, your password, and at the bottom you will see your reseller URL ("Your new website can be found at...").  Print this page out for your files.  You will also receive an email verification, with the subject line of, "Thank you for joining DTL Network (FFA)"  Be sure and print this email out for your files as well.

At the bottom of the confirmation page, click on the dark blue "Click Here to Visit Your New Web Site!" link.

Step 7:
You will now be BACK on page 1 of the DTL Network site, but THIS time it is YOUR personalized site, and NOT that of your sponsor's.  (Important Note:  You can also use the link in the email you just received to go to page 1 of your new site.)

At this point, although you are officially a DTL Network affiliate, you are still only a FREE member.  You must now upgrade your FREE membership to the PRO-membership.

Step 8:
On page 1 of your newly created site, along the left side you will see the same six dark blue hotlink buttons we talked about in Step 2, above.  Just as you did in step 2, click on the fourth hotlink button from the top entitled, "Upgrade."  

Step 9:
You will be on page 2 of your newly created DTL Network site.  Look familiar?  It should - it's the same page 2 that we visited in Step 3, above.  On THIS visit to page 2, however, go to the SECOND long block in the middle of the page titled, "Step 2 - Pay For Your First Month," Click on the hotlink.

Step 10:
You may pay via PayPal or credit card.  Choose your payment preference and then click the appropriate blue hotlink.

You will be on the "Payment Option" Page.

Step 11:
Below the "Payment Agreement" on the "Payment Option" page enter your first name, last name, and username (or just your DTL username, if that is all that is requested) in the block(s) provided at the bottom.  Click on the black "Click Here for Secure Payment" hotlink bar.

Step 12:
After you have gone through your preferred payment procedure and your payment is approved, you will be taken to a receipt page.  Print this page out for your files.  After you have printed out this page, click on the blue "Click Here to Proceed" hotlink at the top of the page.

You will be on a generic "Thank You for Your Order" page.

Step 13:
On the generic "Thank You for Your Order" page, note the text that states,

"Please select the website/product that you just paid for and click the 'Next' button.  You will be taken to the appropriate 'Thank You' page."

(Multiple Stream Marketing, the parent company of the DTL Network owns several different programs.)  Using the dropdown menu, select "DTL Network.com" and click the "Next" button.

You will be taken to another "Thank You" page.  You are now done with the signup process so you can close the DTL site.

Step 14:
Your paid account will be activated in the next 10 to 30 minutes. You will be notified at your main email address when your account is upgraded.

When you account has been fully upgraded, you will receive two additional emails.  The first email, with the subject line of, "Multiple Stream Customer Receipt/Purchase Confirmation" will confirm your purchase.  The second email, with the subject line of, "DTL Network Website Convert to Paid Status" will confirm your upgrade to "Pro" status.  Be sure and print out both emails for your files.

B.  What your reseller URL will look like:

Your DTL Network ID, at the end of your reseller URL, is ALWAYS the name you chose when signing up.  Your DailyTargetedLeads reseller URL will ALWAYS look like this:

http://dtlnetwork.com/members/index.cgi?XXXXXXX

Example:  http://dtlnetwork.com/members/index.cgi?hotdog

Finally, be sure to enter your reseller URL and username & password onto your Master Information Sheet.

Program 8:  X-Streeam Marketing - $29.95 per month

Stage A.  Between the dotted lines below, you will see a list of all of the C.H.I.P. program reseller URL's in their standard format.  YOUR reseller URL's, of course, will have YOUR reseller ID's in place of the "XXXXXX"

This step - Stage A - is for informational purposes only.  It is just to show you what the standard format for the reseller URL's look like.  Do NOT submit them to us in this form!  Some ISP's programming mistakenly treats a large number of URL's in a single email like a virus, and will not allow it through to us.

Instead, go to Stage B (below this list) to see the proper form in which to submit your URL's to the Big Dogs Home Office...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Big Dogs Administration Fee verification ID.  This is the 10-digit
   order number you received from 2Checkout.com:  XXXXXXXXXX
2. ClickBank:
   http://XXXXXX.bigdogs.hop.clickbank.net
3. TrafficWave:
   http://www.trafficwave.net/members/XXXXXX
4. MultiLinks:
   http://multilinks.net/index.shtml?XXXXXX
5. Monster-Traffic:
   http://monster-traffic.com/members/index.cgi?XXXXXX
6. ProspectResponse:
   http://www.adsaturation.net/cgi-bin/pr/d.cgi/XXXXXX
7. DailyTargeted Leads:
   http://dtlnetwork.com/members/index.cgi?XXXXXX
8. Kiosk.ws:
   http://www.wwkiosk.com/members/XXXXXX
9. FFAStorm:
   http://ffastorm.com/p.cgi?XXXXXX/index.html
10. X-Streeam Marketing:
    http://www.x-streeam.net?a=XXXXXXXX
11. Guru University:
    http://XXXXXX.guruu.hop.clickbank.net
12. AdMinder:
    http://www.adminder.com/go.cgi?id=XXXXXX
13. Your first and last name:  
14. Your MAIN email address:
15. Your state or country of residence:
16. Your home telephone number:  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage B.  Copy and paste the information between the dotted lines below into a blank Word document.  You will note that, rather than submitting the entire reseller URL to us (as in the list above in Stage A), you will be submitting ONLY that portion of the reseller URL which is your reseller ID for each program to us.  This will allow your list to get past the virus filters.  After you have copied and pasted the information between the dotted lines below into a blank word document, continue on to Stage C, below the list.

...............................................................

1. Big Dogs Administration Fee verification ID.  This is the 10-digit
   order number you received from 2Checkout.com:  XXXXXXXXXX
2. ClickBank Nickname:  XXXXXX
3. TrafficWave:  XXXXXX
4. MultiLinks:  XXXXXX
5. Monster-Traffic:  XXXXXX
6. ProspectResponse:  XXXXXX
7. DailyTargeted Leads:  XXXXXX
8. Kiosk:  XXXXXX
9. FFAStorm:  XXXXXX
10. X-Streeam Marketing:  XXXXXXXX
11. Guru University:  XXXXXX
12. AdMinder:  XXXXXX
13. Your first and last name:  
14. Your MAIN email address:
15. Your state or country of residence
16. Your home telephone number:  

..............................................................

Stage C.  Replace the "XXXXXX's" with YOUR personal ID from each of the CHIP programs that you are joining.

Items # 1 (Big Dogs Administration Fee), and # 2 (ClickBank nickname), are NOT optional.

Important note!  Remember that we told you to use your standard username and password whenever possible when signing up for the CHIP programs?  As a result, your reseller ID for MOST of the C.H.I.P. programs will be identical to your standard username.  For example, if you chose "topdog123" as your standard username, then your reseller ID for MOST of the programs will also be "topdog123"  There are three exceptions to this:

1)  MultiLinks:  Your MultiLinks reseller ID is a five or six digit NUMBER, and NOT your standard username.  (i.e. "12345" and NOT "topdog123")

2)  ProspectResponse:  Your ProspectResponse reseller ID consists of a combination of two capital letters - generally the initials of your first and last name - and four to six numbers.  It is NOT your standard username.  (i.e. "AB12345" and NOT "topdog123")

3)  X-Streeam Marketing:  Your X-Streeam Marketing reseller ID is an eight-digit combination of numbers and (lower case) letters, and NOT your standard username.  (i.e. "ab12cd34" and NOT "topdog123")

Why are we making such a big deal about this?  It's because a LOT of new Alpha Dogs, used to having their standard username as their reseller ID in MOST of the CHIP programs, get "lazy" and just assume that it is their reseller ID in ALL of the programs when they submit them to Home Office.  Your Signup Module will then have the incorrect reseller URL's for those three programs, and you will NOT get credit for the new signups!

Stage D.  For those programs you are NOT joining at this time, leave the "XXXXXX's" as they are.  You may join additional programs later, at which time we will update your Signup Module.

Stage E.  For the last four items, type in (13) your first and last name, (14) your MAIN email address, (15) your state OR country of residence, and (16) your home phone number.  (Note:  All information is strictly confidential, and will not be shared, given, or sold to outside sources.)

(Note:  You are not required to join ANY of the CHIP programs if you wish ONLY to resell the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook.  If, however, any of your ebook purchasers requests a Signup Module to become an Alpha Dog, it will of course be your SPONSOR'S Module that is sent to them.  You will NOT earn any long-term, residual commissions from the CHIP companies.  However, you would still earn the 40% commission for the original sale of the ebook.)

Stage F.  Do NOT submit your list of reseller ID's to the Big Dogs Home Office until you are completely done joining all the programs you are going to join for now and you have received your reseller URL's.

Naturally, you may join as many or as few of the CHIP programs as you desire.  But if you already know are going to join ALL of the C.H.I.P. programs, do NOT send us just one URL each day for several days!  Be patient and wait until you have ALL of the reseller ID's for the programs you are going to join for the foreseeable future and THEN submit them to us at the same time.

Additions or corrections to the original list we receive from you are NOT accepted for a period of thirty days after the initial submission!

Stage G.  The 3-step submission process.

1.  In the "send to" area of a blank email enter the main email address of the Big Dogs Home Office, which is:

Stan@BigDogSecrets.com

2.  In the "subject line" area enter ONLY...

Alpha Dog URL's

3.  Copy and paste your list of reseller ID's and other requested info from your Word document into the body of the email.  Do NOT send us your list of reseller ID's as an attachment to your email!  For security reasons we do not open ANY email attachments, REGARDLESS of the source, and your email will be automatically deleted!

That’s it!

Within one to two BUSINESS days the Big Dogs home office will send you an email verifying that we have received your list of reseller ID's.  WATCH FOR IT!  The subject line in this email will simply be: "RE: Alpha Dog URL's," and the email address from which it will be coming is, of course, our main email address:  "ThePowerTeam2000@cs.com"  After you receive this verification email, you may then, AND ONLY THEN, start to promote the Big Dogs program.  While you're waiting for this email to arrive you can go to our online training manual at...

http://bigdogsecrets.com/training.htm

...just to familiarize yourself with it.  Among other things, our training manual contains our now famous "Fast-Track Tutorials" which instruct you how to - quickly and easily - start setting up the various C.H.I.P. programs to begin sending out your sales message automatically.

BUT REMEMBER!...

...absolutely, positively do NOT begin ANY promotion of the Big Dogs program until AFTER you have received our verification email!  This will verify that we HAVE, in fact, received your reseller ID's and can configure your Signup Module.  But emails sometimes can, and DO, "disappear" in cyberspace!  Think about it.  If one of your ebook purchasers requests your Signup Module, and we don't have your reseller ID's, we have nothing to send them!  So...
WAIT for our verification email!

Congratulations,
Alpha Dog!
Welcome to the front
of the pack!
