A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Tom McCarthy on a trip over to Florida for a Strategic Profits event - he is an inspirational thought leader, and without doubt the most animated speaker I have ever seen on stage. He captivates his audience, and for Strategic Profits also performed the role of MC.The package that Tom has finally put together, with Strategic Profits coordinating his first online product launch is phenomenal value at just $497 and whilst a little tangential to what I typically write about, would certainly be appropriate for almost any business owner looking to regain control of their lives and maximise performance.But instead of giving you my link, I am going to do something else.

As an affiliate, and future product publisher, proof (that is unequivocal) is something in which I place a great amount of emphasis.It allows me to recommend a product or service with reduced risk of damaging my own reputationI want to be sure my readers will be delivered the product or service promised, thus giving them the potential to achieve any results claimedReputation is important - often proof also acts as a significant guarantee that customers will be treated well (within the boundaries of what the product or service encompasses)Reliable data - if I can dig holes in claims made in promotional material, so can my readersReal testimonials - you can pay huge fines for astroturfingProof in advance during product launches by providing real substantial results in advance is a powerful concept.Proof increases conversions Lets look at a few good and bad examples

<<< Click Here >>>IM Remarkable Offer Page "before" I spent most of my time concentrating on the product - despite being just a free bonus for signing up to someone else's promotion, I wanted it to have both value and longevity.Whilst in the legal paperwork I placed emphasis on the "casual" nature of selection, I spent significant time on each niche rooting out great offers, uncovering a few pitfalls etc.

This is a slightly taboo subject because with many product launches there is a launch competition not only for sales, but also for pre-launch opt-ins.
If you are offering an incentive for people to just opt-in, there is a high possibility that that lead might be worth less than a lead that has viewed some launch material, and decided that they are interested in the product enough to hand over an email address.Something else to avoid is any mention that you might benefit financially from just an opt-in - the problem there is disclosure, and as more and more launches include a pre-launch opt-in competition with prizes, especially in the internet marketing niche, affiliate program managers are going to specifically have to allow, and encourage disclosure.
