With new product launches happening every day now, we see a huge group of affiliates promoting their 'Bonus Packages', and trying to cash in on the launch's commissions. While this is not a bad strategy from the affiliate's side, you really have to watch out for what is typically called The Junk Stack.
When you look at most of these bonus packages, nearly all of them fall into this cheap, 'Junk Stack' category because that is what they contain. So what defines a Junk Stack? It's where an affiliate marketer puts a bunch of cheap PLR or Reprints Rights products and software into a package to increase the perceived 'value' of the product being launched. That way if you purchase through the link of that affiliate, you'll get the package of extras, and the affiliate will get a commission.
The LAST Thing You Need Is More To Do
This raises a big problem for most people, because most of the new programs being released are aimed at beginners who aren't making a living online yet (which means nearly everybody). And for those people, the LAST thing they need is more stuff to get bogged down with. You really need something simple that works.
If you've ever purchased an IM training product, the problem is most people find is they don't have enough time or focus to even get through it. This shiny new toy usually gives you training and tools to get a specific strategy done, and you have to do a bit of work to implement the program to get any results.
But when these affiliates and their Junk Stack want to give you is more useless stuff - often up to 20 different things in a package. And all that is going to do is to make you get you bogged down in all of the additional detail and busy work that most of these cheap products make you do.
The 'Junk Stack' Bonus Really Is Just That
Most of these 'bonuses' consist of cheap throw-away products that don't have any real value. That means the chances of them actually helping you in any way are zero. All that's going to happen is you'll get side-tracked and you are most likely going to be worse off than you were before. If you think you are already overwhelmed with new information, which is probably how you are already feeling if you are new at this, the last thing you probably need is more to do. Ideally you should have LESS to do, and the best outcome is to find the ONE thing that will work for you.
So instead of falling for a Junk Stack bonus when you buy your next product, look for somebody who's offering personal help and coaching. Somebody who knows where you've been and is able to help you to get where you want to go. You'll find you'll have much more success than if you get bogged down with a cheap bonus from some affiliate who really doesn't care about your success.
