All posts in UberCamp

Just wanted to say congrats to Jeremy on rolling out The ShoeMoney Sytem. As much hate as he gets (which the hate has died down tremendously because a) people realized that fat jokes are only funny for so long and b) plenty of legitimate trolls have entered the industry that are actually worth the negative attention), the man knows how to launch and run a successful web-based business.

Can you believe all the self-hype about it? I’m sure many people read “how to make money step by step” and are a bit skeptical, after all that’s what every shittyscammy bizopp promises. Will it lead you step by step to making money? Probably, if you actually digest the information properly. You can check out one of the free videos to kind of get a feel for it (I just watched about half of one of them). You can also read about it on his blog. If you’re just getting started into the industry or have some O.K. businesses running online, Shoe is a guy that’s worth listening too. If you’re just a shady aff raking it in on rebills trying to stay cloaked, you’ll probably find this boring.

I don’t want to plug it too hard because I don’t know the full system and I don’t know how much it’s going to cost, but it looks like Shoemoney put a lot of work into this and so far it looks like he did a pretty good job. So, nice one dude.

P.S. This isn’t a paid review.

P.P.S. Like the category I put this in whoop whoop :p

Ok so I can’t even count the hours I’ve worked on this, but I’m officially announcing the relaunch of UberCamp 2.0. I’ve made a TON of changes and added tons of content, and the best way to hear about everything is by checking it out yourself. I’ll quickly talk about the changes here for a little quick reference :

1) Changed the design, the one I had before was crappy and I had designed it.

2) Added a Affiliate Marketing Tutorials for newbies. This is probably the biggest change. I had originally been working with someone BIG in this industry on making this whole huge newbie university to teach affiliate marketing basics from A to Z. I spent 8 hours a day for a couple of months writing content for this and making it as good as I possibly good, and we had a really good business/revenue model and it would have been worth paying. Well I just decided that you can help newbies buy charging them, but you can help them even more by just giving them the information for free. So yeah, I just decided to release everything for free and hopefully you guys get something out of it.

3) Changed admission into the forums. Before you had to apply and wait to be approved, but now you have to just pass the UberCamp Quiz and you’ll be granted access to sign up and get let in. The quiz just covers basics and all the information and answers can be found in the tutorials. I just want people to have a basic understand of affiliate marketing and have tested out a couple things themselves before they come in. I’ll be monitoring posts like a hawk and anything supernewb will be deleted. You can take the quiz once every 7 days, so if you fail just study up and try again in a week.

4) Changed the forums to vBulletin! They were bit primitive before but now they have all the features and are styled much better. Converting everything and the paid section was kind of a bitch, but well worth it for you guys.

NOTE TO CURRENT MEMBERS : I couldn’t transfer your forum passwords over because I don’t know them. You simply have to reset your password and an email will be sent to the email you signed up with originally. If you have any problems with this, just let me know.

5) Added a bunch of affiliate marketing tools. To read about them just visit the tools page.

Anyways I don’t want to make this post too long so just get to the site and start reading up on all the changes.

Hope everyone likes it!

Alright I can see this may be a lengthy post, so if you want the cliff-notes and don’t want to read the explanation :

General access into UberCamp is now free. The forum is still invite only, and you still have to apply in order to be accepted. Applications will now all be looked at again and if you make the cut, you’ll be sent an invite. If you get an invite, you have access to the forum an all it’s content for free.

There WILL be a single Premium Private forum ($99/month), which will include :

-Discounted access to one of my landing page designers. He normally charges $99 for a page, but if you’re a member of the paid section you’ll get pages 50% off, at $49.

-Landing page designs. I hired one of my designers to work for UberCamp designing pages at the users request. He’ll whip them up and we’ll release them publicly.

-Unique affiliate marketing tools. I’ve teamed up with a really awesome programmer and he’s designed some tools that will make your lives easier and more efficient. These tools haven’t been released before and are being saved until the new launch.

-Any other perks that I feel paid members should get.

So there is the short version of what’s going on. So get over and apply. Now for the explanation why…

So when I first started UberCamp, I wanted to make a really tight knit community of smart guys that could all brainstorm together and would have some awesome conversations. That definitely happened. We have some GREAT guys in the forum that give away a ton of the tips they’ve learned, and I’ve participated in almost every thread, helping where I can.

I made a post a couple days ago about opening up applications again and getting a new designer. After really thinking about how the forum was growing and the general reactions to it, I decided to pull the post and go a different route. If things were so great, then why the sudden change? A couple things influenced it :

• Time constraints and pressure. This was probably the biggest factor. In order to run a huge operation like this all by myself, I needed to invest almost all my time into it. I tried my hardest but I had so many of my own things going that ate up time like a mother, working on UberCamp just felt really pressured. I don’t want people paying and not getting what they expect, that’s bullshit and the main reason why things are going to be free.
• Thoughts and opinions from other people. Although most people have a retarded way of getting their point across, others can be constructive and I took all of the opinions into thought. I can’t count all the hours I’ve spent on this blog writing for you guys, and I don’t make anything from it (aside from the few bucks I make from selling my cheap ads). A lot of people just saw UC as a little project I started to take advantage of all the people I’d influenced through my blog. Stupid reasoning but if I truly want to give and help, it should be free or partially paid like it is now. The setup we now have is MUCH better for everyone.

I don’t want to drone on about it because it doesn’t really matter. I created UberCamp and ran it wrong from the start, the setup we have now is how it should have been from the beginning. Enough said.

If you’re wondering about the members that have already paid for the first couple months, they’ll all be getting lifetime access to the premium forum at no charge, as well as some private AIM time with me to talk about campaigns and whatnot.

It’s Friday, the last day to apply to Uber Camp. After Friday, all applications will be put on a waiting list and not looked at until the next round of applications (not sure when that will be, at least a month).

Originally I was just going to collect all the applications and approve them next week, but I wanted to get things rolling so I started accepting them already. If you applied Monday-Wednesday and haven’t heard back with an invite code, I’m sorry and you didn’t get in this round. Keep working at it, get some experience under your belt, and reapply later down the road when you’re ready. Trust me it was so hard turning down applications. The first two days I got around 150 applications, and sent out invites to less than ~80-90 people. That’s a lot of money I could have made, and most of the ones I denied were poor newbies who would have paid too.

There were a ton of great people to apply though, guys with 8 years experience in programming and SEO and a couple years of AM. In the past couple days we’ve been up, the forum already has 277 quality posts. I’ve given out more information than I ever have on this blog, and other people are doing the same. The group I’ve chosen that have come in are all awesome, and there’s a crapload of knowledge floating around already. I can’t wait to see how it pans out down the road.

First case study is underway as well. I’ve picked out the offers, and devised my game plan for everything. Right now I’m getting a domain and starting to build the first landing page.

Anyways, just wanted to post a reminder to everybody who thought about applying, do it now before time runs out. Click here to apply.

So it’s time to announce my big project that I’ve been working on for a long time now. I welcome you to UberCamp.

What is UberCamp? In essence it’s a paid private affiliate marketing forum, but the additions and extra value will make it appear as much more then just that. You can just visit the site and read the about page, but I’ll give a quick overview of the main features here.

1) The first point I want to make here is that this is an INVITE ONLY forum. This place is for serious affiliate marketers, and the only way you’ll get in is either through your friend that’s a serious marketer, or through an application process.

Applications will only be taken in June 2-6, that’s this Monday through Friday. After that, your application will be put on a waiting list and won’t be accepted until the next round. My goal here is to build a very smart and tight community, and the way NOT to do that is by accepting everyone and anyone.

2) You’ll have access to me. I’ll be there to answer your questions ’round the clock, my goal is to give you the best service possible. I already have accepted some of my close affiliate marketing friends such as Wes Mahler and Jonathan Volk and we have some discussions/tips going.

3) Uber Case Studies will be conducted all the time. I’ll share all my keywords, landing pages, promotion types, and research used on a campaign. You’ll be able to make suggestions and ask why I did certain things. You can even copy the campaign if you want; or just copy the techniques.

4) Offer Watch. One of my goals is to provide tools and services that I would use, since I’m a full-time affiliate marketer. One of these tools is Offer Watch. Almost all of the major affiliate networks are sending me data files with EPCs, Conversion Rates, sample URLs, etc. I’m combining them all into one tool, where you can search the top offers across networks by any criteria you want. To read more about it and to see a screen shot, go here.

5) The option for a private 1-on-1 mentorship. You get your own forum that only you and I can read. You can grill me all month long and I’ll personally help you build your current campaigns up and scale them out. You tell me as much as you want, and I take that info and help you improve what you have.

6) Other services and tools to make this forum worth WAY more than the fee you pay to be a member. I have some other good ideas that would really help you guys out and make your lives easier in regards to affiliate marketing.

Go check out the site and let me know what you think. You can all register for a public account and ask questions in the Pre-Sale forum, but you’ll see that to be a paying member you need an invite code. If you have any questions just holler and I’m really excited to get this thing rolling!
