Here is the email sequence I use to promote The Commission Machine:
Email #1
Subject line: The one time you should ignore my advice
Last night I took Elizabeth, my 8-year-old, to gymnastics, where she recently made the team. They think she has natural talent.
I’m really proud of this little dynamo. She’s smart, sweet, and turns out to have this talent we hadn’t known about.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she did really well at this. But she’s not interested in a career in that field. It’s just something she likes to do.
It’s like me and chess. I’m a pretty good player, and I can blow any casual player off the board. But I don’t have the desire to put in the work necessary to be a world-class player (and I might lack the natural talent anyway).
This is true of plenty of people online, too. They make a little side income as affiliates (meaning they earn commissions selling other people’s products), for instance, but that’s as far as they’re interested in taking it.
(And if you’re looking to earn dough online — and who in his right mind isn’t? — then learning the affiliate game is a very smart move.)
But then, as in all fields, you have the people who take something way, way past the hobby stage.
Enter the guy I’m introducing you to today.
(1) You’ve probably heard me mention him.
(2) I own every product he’s ever released.
(3) He’s one of the best affiliates in the world.
(4) He earns seven figures online every year.
(5) Although there must be others, he and I are the only affiliates I’m aware of who consistently use his method.
Note: lots of sales pages for Internet marketing info products are like self-parodies: I was broke, and then I stumbled upon this *secret method* for online riches, and now I take fancy vacations with beautiful women!
This guy is having a bit of fun with that genre at the link below. This is not the kind of page I normally send you to.
In any other situation, I cringe at and steer you away from “learn my secret method to earn commissions.” Secret method my you-know-what.
Or “Earn up to $X per day!”
But this guy really does have his own method (and you’re darn right he earns at least $X per day). And when he explains it to you, you’ll say: “Wait a minute, Woods does this!”
Correct. Where do you think I learned it from?

Email #2
Subject line: My secret method for kicking my competition all over the field
“Woods, you may already have become one of the top affiliates in the entire world.”
Whoa. I wasn’t expecting him to say that.
“You’re blowing past people who’ve been at this for 15-20 years.”
On Monday, I Skyped with the guy who runs one of the top sites for Internet marketers. It’s a site we go to in order to find out what products are coming out when, etc.
And he told me: Woods, whatever the heck it is you’re doing, keep doing it, because you’re trouncing established people who have far bigger email lists than you do.
So what is it I’m doing?
I’m following Michael Cheney’s method. That’s really it.
I own every single product Michael has ever created. And I guess it’s paying off, because one of the best-known guys in the industry just told me I’m fast becoming one of the top dogs.
Michael earns seven figures per year online, much of that in affiliate marketing. So — duh — he’s a pretty good guy to learn from.
He recently created a video series called The Commission Machine in which he explains his strategies for making lots of sales as an affiliate.
If you’ve ever been even slightly curious about how someone pulls in that much cash just by sending emails or posting on Facebook, your questions will be answered.
Plus, you’ll love the guy.
Maybe you’ll be put off by his “Earn up to $X per day!” pitch. Or the “use my secret method” message in his sales letter. If it were anyone other than Michael, I’d be skeptical.
When you’re as successful an affiliate as Michael, who’s been at this for 17 years, you’re entitled to a little boasting.
And yes, he does have his own unique method.
I’m using it right now.
It’s this way:

Email #3
Subject line: How not to be a marketing schmuck like this guy
I like to spy on people who do what I do, so I can see what they’re doing and how they’re doing it.
So I’m on a lot of marketers’ email lists. I keep all their emails in a special folder.
Nearly all of them are exactly the same.
Subject: GET THIS! IT’S AWESOME!!
(Who’s opening an email like that?)
Content: Hey, here’s this thing and here’s what it does. Now go get it!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Then they wonder: why aren’t people reading my emails?
Um, because they have no content (like an occasional tip, of the sort I give out), or personality, or humor, or stories, or any of the sort of stuff — infotainment — that might make it enjoyable for people?
One poor guy even emailed his list to celebrate the fact that nearly 10 percent of them had opened his previous email.
Now that’s just sad.
I’m not having that problem. I may not have a list as big as the monster names in the industry, but people enjoy my emails — they’re entertaining, people tell me, and they learn something from them. So they get opened.
And as I told you yesterday: a top guy everyone knows just told me I’ve rapidly become one of the strongest affiliates going, leapfrogging over people with much more experience and much bigger lists.
How the heck have I done it?
I got all of Michael Cheney’s stuff, mastered it, and started doing it. If you were looking for a more complicated explanation, I’m afraid there isn’t one.
His Commission Machine program lays out his start-to-finish strategy: how he finds good products to promote, how he gets approval to promote them, how he crafts effective promotions, how he gets people to order through his link rather than anyone else’s, etc.
That’s valuable info, yet his Commission Machine training program is cheap, at least for a few more days.
I know his “earn up to $X per day!” pitch isn’t for everyone. But you’ll just have to look past that to get access to one of the smartest and most savvy affiliates anywhere in the world:

Subject line: Why actors and musicians are leftists
Ever wonder what it must be like to be someone like Mick Jagger?
You just sit there, and dough keeps on rolling in — and this has gone on for over 50 years.
Now don’t get me wrong: Mick Jagger works hard. A lot of actors work hard, too. But when they compare their physical effort with the vastly disproportionate monetary compensation they receive, I think they don’t know how to handle it. I think they feel guilty.
This guilt, in turn, warps their brains. It makes them say nonsensical things and support inane causes that assuage their guilt.
I’m neither a musician nor an actor. But I have first-hand experience with another field where the top people rake in dough that would make your head spin.
That’s affiliate marketing, and Internet marketing in general.
I myself sell a homeschool curriculum as an affiliate, as well as web hosting services, and many other things. That just means that if I bring in a sale, I earn a commission. That’s all. Nothing weird or underhanded about it.
And if you know what you’re doing, those commissions can add up fast.
I personally know people who have earned six figures after a single webinar — and they don’t even have to provide product support, process refunds, or whatever. That’s up to the product creator. They just collect the dough.
In my book, the master is Michael Cheney. That’s why I own every single one of his products. I’m also a member of his 7-Figure Franchise, which has been crazy lucrative for me.
I just went through his Commission Machine program for a second time. I cannot get over how good it is.
It’s ideal for a stone-cold newbie who doesn’t even know how to find products to promote, much less how to promote them.
For a couple of more days, it’s just 20 smackers. When you add in my bonuses (see the P.S. below), it’s ridiculous to the point that you should send Michael a donation.
I remind you: his pitch is strong medicine. You may not like his “Earn up to $X per day!” or his “learn my secret method” stuff.
But unlike the swamp dwellers, Michael really does earn $X (actually more) per day, and he sure does have a secret method, which fast-forwarded my progress by about five years.
When you start earning the big dough, though, don’t feel guilty and make a fool of yourself like Barbra Streisand.
Just send me a postcard from the Bahamas.
If you’re not curious yet, I stink at this:

Email #5
Subject line: Stupid things people say when you have lots of kids
We have five daughters and man, have we heard it all.
“Hey, you do know what causes that, right?”
“You sure have your hands full! I can barely handle two!”
“Man, I feel for you!”
“Wow, good luck, man. You’re going to need it.”
(Bear in mind that these things, which make them sound like burdens, are being said right in front of them.)
I’ve developed some snappy answers to these. Maybe I’ll share them in another email.
My daughters have enriched my life beyond words, and the world is a much better place with them in it.
So to people who think they could have lived my life better than I have, particularly when it comes to my family size, it’s my turn to give some advice: go jump in a #%@& lake.
🙂
Same goes for unsolicited advice about my business.
It almost always comes from people who know nothing about it, and their advice would cut my income in half, if not more. Like people who lecture me on how many kids I have, they’re sure they’re helping, but believe me, they’re really not.
Trust me, there’s always a method behind what I’m doing.
I’m absolutely crushing it in the affiliate marketing world right now, and it’s not because I have a huge email list, because I don’t.
It’s because I really do know what I’m doing.
I’m doing _exactly_ what Michael Cheney — one of the top affiliates in the whole world — teaches in his program The Commission Machine. I own it myself, because I own all of Michael’s products. I’m also a member of his 7-Figure Franchise, which has been super lucrative for me.
Cheney earns seven figures in commissions every year selling other people’s stuff. He’s #$%@& good at it (I’m enjoying using those symbols).
In The Commission Machine, he takes you from how to find products that (1) sell well and (2) pay you well, all the way to advanced tactics that actually make people eager to buy through you.
The affiliate marketing world is an insane place with almost mind-boggling dough to be made. People who know nothing about it are left speechless when they first discover it.
So I decided to jump in. And man, the water’s beautiful.
With the price (a mere 20 smackers, which is a steal) on the verge of more than doubling, now’s the time:

Email #6
Subject line: The conformity factories where kids spend eight hours a day
Last week I told people on my other email list about what John Green recently said: the reason he doesn’t mind paying taxes for schools when he himself doesn’t have children in school is that he doesn’t like living in a country full of stupid people.
Folks in my private Facebook group had a field day with that one.
One thing we can certainly say: the tax-funded schools sure are churning out a lot of clueless people — not just about geography and history, but also about basic things like how to support themselves, and where they fit into the market economy.
School districts on average spend over $130,000 on a single student’s K-12 education. And the kids still leave school with absolutely zero idea of what niche they should occupy, how to market themselves, how to sell things — really any of the basic things a self-supporting person would want to know.
They certainly do know which words are insensitive, which causes are in fashion, how many genders there are, etc. That much they do learn.
On the other hand, for just 20 smackers you can learn from Michael Cheney, one of the most successful and sought-after affiliate marketers on the planet, the kind of stuff that will actually benefit you.
It is much more valuable information than you have a right to expect for 20 smackers, believe me.
Central to Michael’s method, by the way, involves not being an interchangeable automaton. So much of your competition will be like the time-serving drones the public school system produces: apathetic rule-followers with little initiative and few independent thoughts.
With Michael’s method, you’ll quash them like bugs.
Which, incidentally, I myself have been doing. (Owning every single Michael Cheney product pays off.)
For some of you, this is a whole new world. When you discover how much dough is on the table in affiliate marketing (which is nothing more than earning commissions when people buy products through your link, as I do with the Ron Paul homeschool curriculum), you’ll wonder why you hadn’t known about it before.
Better late than never.
The price of The Commission Machine is about to more than double, so if you’re the slightest bit curious (and let’s face it, you should be!), grab it while it’s still cheap.
The knowledge in there has transformed my own life for the better. For the much, much, much better.
For one last time I remind you: his pitch is strong medicine. You may not like his “Earn up to $X per day!” or his “learn my secret method” stuff.
Doesn’t matter. He’s the best there is — and he really does earn a fortune (as the best person at something tends to!) and he does have a secret method, which I now use to very good effect.
Don’t pay $47 for this, which is what it’s about to jump to:

Subject line: FAQ about The Commission Machine (last call)
This week I’ve been telling you about the unique (and rich) Michael Cheney and his indispensable (and inexpensive) training program The Commission Machine, which I swear by.
If you’re serious about monetizing your time online, sooner or later you’re going to have to learn about Michael Cheney.
Here’s what you all have been asking me.
Is this newbie friendly?
Yes. Even if you’ve never heard of affiliate marketing (earning a commission when someone buys something through your link) before, you can follow Michael without any problem. He takes you from ground zero to proficiency.
Is this Michael Cheney for real?
Yes. He is legendary in the industry. Superficially, he can be silly and goofy. In fact, he pulls funny stunts and makes funny videos because they make him a boatload of sales, and crush his competition.
His sales letter speaks of a secret method. Am I really going to learn a unique approach?
Yes. Michael is going to take you through everything from how to find products that sell, to how to sell, to how to sell effectively, to how to sell so effectively that everyone wants to buy from you in particular, and so on.
Woods, do you own The Commission Machine?
Yes. I own every single product Michael Cheney has ever created.
Do you use what Michael teaches in The Commission Machine?
Yes. In fact, I have used it in every single email I have used to promote The Commission Machine itself….
The Commission Machine is on the verge of more than doubling in price. It’s worth every penny and then some. Following Michael has done more than anything else to help me get to the top of leaderboards in all kinds of affiliate contests.
Plus, it’s only 20 smackers. Surely at least satisfying your curiosity is worth 20 smackers. (Though I hope you do a lot more with what you learn from it than that.)
