Viral Tell-A-Friend Thats Safe For Your Granny or CEO

By Andy Beard | Published: September 12, 2009
I have been ranting and raving about insecure viral Tell-A-Friend scripts for over a year, and it seemed like I was just talking to a brick wall. Now in the space of just a week I have been able to highlight a solution based upon one of my own blog posts that uses a slightly ghetto, but K.I.S.S method to achieve extremely effective viral tell-a-friend functionality, and now I want to mention another more sophisticated solution.

Unique Sales Funnel Tricks That Will Blow You Away

By Andy Beard | Published: September 4, 2009
The other day I was slacking off on Twitter and clicked a link through to a JV promotion that I had seen in a number of emails, but hadn't really taken much interest in. I hadn't heard of the guy doing the promotion, and to be quite honest the topic didn't seem to be the best match for this blog, though it does fit with the overall "Make Money Online" and "Work From Home" niches very well. I am not sure what drove me to sign up as a JV partner with Dan, though the following factors almost certainly played a factor.
  • Supreme confidence in the value of his product just oozes out of the videos he produces (there are lots of them)
  • Lots of professional landing pages - it is obvious he has spent a lot of time working on them
  • A great JV Opportunity but to be honest I would highlight this anyway... you will see why in a moment

Unobtrusive Marketing

I have spent a fair amount of time since I signed up with Dan chatting with him on Skype - his commitment to his JV partners is exceptional, but I am sure that has also lead to significant improvements in his sales funnel as affiliates give him direct feedback. We have all seen various improvements to sales funnels over time, and a lot of what Dan is doing will seem very familiar. The overall design of the landing pages, the opt-in etc, but Dan has added a few of his own twists that take things to a new level. What is special is that the things Dan has added are smart and unobtrusive, but still catch the eye and achieve the desired effect - many of them he has coded himself. It is a rare thing for me to see something and immediately reach for Skype and ask "Where did you get that script from?"

Twitter Viral Hell With Launch Tree

By Andy Beard | Published: May 7, 2009
The security risks for your customers running viral tell-a-friend scripts and widgets. This post is a year overdue - I have held back the material and refrained from pointing the finger for that period of time, but there is something I have noticed:- If you don't kick up a big stink, possibly including names, any advice just gets swept under the carpet.

Opt-in Accelerator Warning – Security Risk – Read This First!

By Andy Beard | Published: June 23, 2008
Optin Accelerator is a massive security risk for your customers - rather than fix the security problems, the new version just adds fluff without addressing core issues. Anyone can make a mistake, release a product without considering all the possible ramifications, but to release Opt-in Accelerator again without major changes is irresponsible.

The Irresponsible Viral Tell-A-Friend Trio

So far there have been 3 such scripts I have written about, and there is a 4th "coming soon"
  • My first coverage of Opt-in Accelerator
  • Then there was Viral Optin Generator which may well have been a private label or resale rights product
  • Viral Inviter is launching soon - last I saw of this script installed "out in the wild" it was a security risk
  • There is another one I know about, TrafficXplode 2.0 which also features the same security risks
