OUR LATEST PROGRAM:
SMART $1K+ PROJECT
Affiliate Opportunity – Wow! Great Value & Low Price
Hi There!
You are likely on our list of approved affiliates, so we wanted to get this out to you before it hits the public market…Over the past year we have been working on our latest program called the SMART $1k+ Project. It is an in-depth all-in-one program running over a 6-month period where students get everything they need to build out a work-from-home business.
This includes extensive training, 80+ business tools, DFY and RTG websites, weekly live coaching & Q&A sessions, and pro-active SMART Team support. They also get access to an active and engaged community for interaction, as well as training on an array of business models so they can select ones that may fit them, and build out into their own businesses, depending on their interests and unique situation.
The program takes them by the hand over that half a year and walks them through step-by-step, starting with creating a business plan that is designed for their specific situation (cookie-cutter approaches just do not work as well we have found). They build their unique business plan for the work from home operation that suits them, after some mind-set and vision exercises to open their minds to the potential as well as what their interests may be.
Once their business plan is in place…They use the tools and resources that are included with the program to build out, earn, and scale up their business following the business plan they created. There are over 80 marketing, content, automation, and WordPress tools as I write this note, and we are adding new ones all the time.
The student will not have to spend any additional money for tools, resources, or marketing unless they choose to, based on their business plan. There are also 1000s of resources such as PLR (private label right), lead magnet kits, templates, checklists, workbooks, planners, journals, email swipe files, and graphics for the student…
Going back to the training side of business…
Eight weeks of intensive structured training courses are included in the curriculum (over 60 to date) followed by an array of elective core competency courses that students can tap into as needed over the following 4 months. The student can further develop their business skills and focus on weak areas to improve their overall business outcomes from their activities.
Oh yes…
Coaching is provided at every step of the way in the process by Coach Dave (who has had a lot of experience with teaching and coaching; and he has lead, managed and worked with businesses for over 4 decades, plus he has sold product to the tune of $100 million as a marketer).
Bottom Line:
The approach we have developed stands out from other lesser programs out there. We have looked at them and sought to improve on what is out there. Again, this approach has been fine-tuned with testing of the SMART $1k+ Project over the past year. We continue to test to improve the program even more.
As we get more feedback and see areas where we can do a better job for students, we immediately implement changes. As market dynamics shift, we will shift too so students get up-to-date information.
What is the impact on the program?
The community, the coaching, the unique business plan versus a cookie-cutter approach means that student’s success rates have soared compared to the average.
Program class details…
The classes kick off weekly, and we will hold students and class size to 100 for each of the classes. The idea with this is that students will have a chance to work together, help and support one another, and develop their businesses together.
What Is Next?
This is a lot of information, I know, so let me be clear for you as an affiliate: This is a golden opportunity for you to lock in recurring, lifetime commissions as we take this program to market.
We have capacity to expand the program a lot over the coming years, and there is a follow-on process for students so they stay within the SMART umbrella and brand for the long term. This means that you as an affiliate will earn over this entire period, as our commissions are recurring and lifetime in effect. As the students shift or extend membership, you will earn.
We also have a contest for affiliates. If you are an action-taker and get enough paying referrals to qualify, you can get additional commissions to reward you on your successes. Here is the link to request affiliate approval for the SMART $1k+ Project:
Remember:
We are 100% committed to supporting your sales efforts on our behalf. Some unique materials are being provided to you, and Coach Dave is even available for a 1-1 interview so you can explain to your readers and subscribers what they get with this program. Also, we are conducting weekly support and coaching calls for affiliates. That along with a SMART Affiliate Boot Camp curriculum means that you have more resources than you will get with most such programs.
The next area we have developed that will help you is on pricing. The regular tuition for the 6-month course is $299 now, and next year it will rise to $399. That price point offers massive value compared to anything we have found to date for what you get.
But we are not stopping there. Regularly for the time-being, we are offering a permanent Black Friday level price of $100 off the $299 fee. In addition to that, we will have 2 x monthly limited quantity sales (100 student slots with each sale) where the student can get into the program for $99!
Lastly, right now, as you read this, we are offering a Crazy Cyber Monday price of $59.00 to get into this 6-month program! That is the lowest you will ever see this offered at. There are only 200 coupons, and when they are gone, they are gone. There will be plenty of people that miss out on this, but you can still take care of them.
So I urge you to take action ASAP, start promoting the program through your blogs, your social accounts, to your neighbors, etc. We want to get you some of those commission earnings, and have you stick with us for the long haul as we both grow.
If you have any questions, just drop me a line. Sorry for the length of this but I felt it important that you get the full picture so you are ready and excited to get started.
Kind Regards,
Dave

Section 1 - SMART $1K+ PROJECT PROGRAM
The SMART $1k+ Project, a 6-month work from home business development program, was born and developed as a result of the disruptive changes that people across the globe have experienced over the past 2 years.
It is an extension of the SMART Affiliate Network program, and the main differences are that weekly coaching is available, the classes are limited in size, more potential business models are taught to students, and the class curriculum is more structured.
There are 8 weeks of planned courses, where the student is taken from determining what business model(s) they want to use for their business, to writing a plan for that business, to actually building it out and then scaling it.
Step 1 - Join and gain access to materials and training
Step 2 - Complete the training courses, implement into their business
Step 3 - Scale the business up to increase revenue and profits
Marketing Materials May Be Found in the Document andd Materials Pages On This Site...
Section 2 - SMART AFFILIATE NETWORK PROGRAM
This program consists of a Basic Fast Track, a Basic, and an Advanced set of courses where members can pick and choose the training courses that they need to increase their knowledge of online marketing.
The main focus is on affiliate marketing, but there are also other business models that are expanded on in the training. The same set of tools and resources are available as with the SMART $1k+ Project program.
The differences are few, but significant. There is no weekly live group coaching program, there is no structured class curriculum per se. Members do get access to more websites, and depending on the level of membership, also a CPanel to manage their websites and email accounts.
This program is a logical next-step progression for the SMART $1k+ Project student, as all assets they have gotten access to remain active and available. Through this transition, the student can continue to save a lot of money and have everything they need to run their business.
The process to get started is quite easy:
Pay for one of the many plans rhat are offered (longer-term plans saves money for the member).
Request assigment and access to the DFY websites and CPanel (if appropriate), as well as the tools and resources/shops, etc.
Get started, participate in the community, learn the business, apply the lessons, and grow their work from home business to the extent they have envisioned.
Section 3 - SMART LEAD MAGNET KITS SHOP - OVERVIEW
This lead magnet kit shop. located at https://mysmartleadmagnets.com, is chock full of lead magnet kits. They are branded under the SMART label but can be edited quickly to help generate leads for the user.
The kits are available for purchase individually, as a standalone member ot the site, or as members of one of the two business training programs that the SMART brand offers (the SMART Affiliate Network or the SMART $1k+ Project).
Ways to access these kits:
Buy individual kits
Buy a membership to the shop products (saves money over individual price and you get all new kits that are added on a regular basis).
As members of either the SMART Affiliate Network or the SMART $1k+ Project, members can download all the kits as needed at no cost.
Section 4 - SMART BUSINESS RESOURCES SHOP - OVERVIEW
This shop is located at https://mysmartbizresources.com and it offers many kinds of resources that online marketers and business owners need on a regular basis to run their business. There are a variety of resources available.
The list includes email swipe files, planners, journals, templates, images, graphics, isometric graphics, checklists, video backgrounds, social post kits, business plan worksheets, and more.
There are always new items added weekly, and they are available to purchase separately or in bundles at times. Shoppers do have options to save a lot of money however. Since many of these assets are needed by almost everyone, they are part of the SMART program resources.
This means that if the person is a member of one of the SMART programs above (SMART $1k+ Project or the SMART Affiliate Network), access to everything is free. This results in a significant savings for these members.
Ways to get access to the SMART resources in the shop:
Buy individual products on an as-needed basis, and pay the price listed for each.
Join the shop membership program and gain access to all the products at no additional cost.
By far the cheapest way to get access to everything is to become a member of one of the SMART Business Programs and have everything within the shop free to use.
Section 5 - SMART BUSINESS PLR SHOP - OVERVIEW
This shop, located at https://davespromarketing.solutions contains a vast array of PLR. PLR stands for Private Label Rights and the content generally is sold under a Master Resell Rights license or a Resell Rights license.
That means that buyers can repurpose the content and sell it as their own, and keep 100% of the profit. There are a number of other ways to use the content as well. Lead magnets, blog posts, reports, training courses, social posts, etc, come to mind.
As with the other SMART shops, shoppers can either buy the PLR products individually, in bundles or through membership programs. If they are members of the SMART $1k+ Project or the SMART Affiliate Network, membership is automatically approved at no cost to the member.
This means they can tap into this resource to quickly get content edited and published for their websites and social platform accounts. Alongside some of the tools that come with the SMART programs, members will be able to get much more done in less time in support of their businesses.
Three ways to gain access to the products within the SMART PLR SHOP include:
Buy the products at the listed prices
Buy a separate shop membership using one of the plans and get all the PLR at no additional cost (to include all new PLR added for the period of membership).
Become a member of one of the SMART Business Training programs (SMART $1k+ Project or the SMART Affiliate Network) and gain access to all products.
Section 6 - SMART ACADEMIES - OVERVIEW
The SMART brand has more than the two flagship training programs available for people that want to hone their skills in one or another area of business and management. There are also curriculums that focus on a particular business model, and also leadership, personal, and professional development courses.
These are often grouped into an Academy Program format. People wanting to get a series of courses on a particular subject but not needing the entire set of assets that come with the SMART Programs can possibly use these.
More information will be published over time as these academies come online. We have 8-10 in the queue at the moment. Affiliates and SMART members will be made aware as they come online so they can promote.
Section 7 - SMART BUSINESS TOOLS SHOP - OVERVIEW
This shop, located at https://mysmartbiztools.com lists tools that online and offline business owners need to automate, market, or increase productivity levels when it comes to operating their businesses.
Right now, there are over 80 tools available, and we are adding to the list as we find tools that will work for all members of one of our SMART Business Training programs (SMART $1k+ Project or the SMART Affiliate Network).
They can be purchased indiviually at the listed price as well. Overall, users will save a lot of money over buying similar tools in the market. SMART support provides any help that may be needed, and there are tutorials as needed as well on how to use the tools.
Members of the two programs do not have to pay the listed price, rather they will either download the tool directly or put in a support ticket to gain access to the tool. This is yet another area of sugnificant savings that members of these programs have.
Section 8 - SMART BUSINESS SERVICES - OVERVIEW
SMART Business, Tools, & Programs offers a number of services to entrepreneurs, business owners, and work-from-home operations. Almost any kind of service can be provided, from social marketing, content marketing, lead generation, SEO (search engine optimization), etc.
There are some packages that we offer where affiliates can earn commissions on for paying referrals they bring, so this is one area to watch and be aware of. The same affiliate ID that you get for the SMART Business Training programs will work for these offers as well.
Section 9 - SMART DFY SERVICES OFFERED - OVERVIEW
Yet another service that the SMART Team offers to people is DFY membership sites, training sites, and even dropshipping stores. This is an area that we have not fleshed out to this point, but we will be.
It is envisioned that we will offer various levels of complete ready-to-go sites, loaded with products, training, and even a checkout system. The buyers will have a turnkey operation that they can immediately start marketing and earning from.
Right now, we have a 10-membership site offer that includes 200 lessons at silver and gold level access points. These can be purchased and deployed within 5 minutes after purchase. The subjects focus around getting started online with your business (an evergreen niche with lots of demand).
We will be opening all of these DFY service packages up for affiliates to promote. Once you have your affiliate ID, you can send traffic to this or other offers and get paid a commission when those referrals purchase access.
Section 10 - YOUR SMART MARKETING VIDEOS
We are constantly preparing new sales videos, special offer videos, along with other materials for marketing of the SMART programs, products, and services. These will be listed here on this site as well as elsewhere.
Affiliates are encouraged to use them in their marketing efforts and we also welcome suggestions as to new ones we can possibly create for your marketing efforts. Normally we will post them also on YouTube.
Since their may be some concern about losing the affiliate link, we will also provide external video files for you to either upload to a cloud storage provider or on your website in the media files.
Section 11 - YOUR SMART AFFILIATE BONUSES (Lead Magnets)
We have a set of bonuses that you can offer your prospects as rewards for them taking action and buying what you are recommending. These may be used for SMART promotions only.
Bonuses we offer may vary for the program or service, so be sure to check here often, as we will change them up from time-to-time to get new content and tools out there. This will keep people coming back to your site as well.
Section 12 - YOUR SMART KEYWORD LISTS
In the download area of this site (and on Google Drive) you will see that we have lists of low competition keywords that you can create content around for your marketing efforts. We will update these regularly.
The advantage is that you do not have to do the research, we are doinf it for you. Right along with these keywords, we also have templates in the resource shop (and there is some in the SMART Affiliate Boot Camp you have access to) to show you how to incorporate them into your content.
These are particularly useful if you need to create something quickly. Money loves speed, an old adage but very true. The early bird gets the worm is also a wise phrase that applies to online marketing and business.
If you have suggestions or ideas on how to improve this area, please do let us know, we are always interested in making things better for our affiliates!
Section 13 - ACCESS TO OUR SMART AFFILIATE BOOT CAMP
We have developed a program called the SMART Affiliate Boot Camp that may help you become a more effective online marketer. It is free to access and will provide training on how to best leverage the marketing materials you have from us.
Many of the lessons can be applied to other affiliate offers as well, so even if your main focus is not on promoting our programs, products, and services, it is worth a look. JJust request access through our support team, we will square you away.
Section 14 - THE SMART SPECIAL PROMOTIONS CALENDAR
Over the year (and every year!) we will be offering a special sale 2 x a month. The sale will involve coupons and prospects can save a ton of money using them. There will always be limited quantities and at time the coupons will be valid for only a limited time.
We have a calendar for our marketing efforts throughout the year, and we will be publishing information from it regarding all the various sales and specials that we runfor affiliates. This way affiliates can plan their own marketing campaigns.
Look for that within the SMART Community Center site as well as in the documents area of the Google Drive storage location. This information and some other will be behind a password, as of course, it is close hold.
Section 15 - YOUR SMART EMAIL SWIPE FILE
We also have a suggested set of emails for your promotion efforts, These can be edited as you need to make them unique/fit your voice, and sent out to your subscribers to promote our tools and etc.
From time to time, we will update these, but even in the basic state, they will help you write effective copy to sell more. As with all the other areas of this support program, we welcome suggestions and ideas on how to make them better.
The downloads of these are in the same location as many of the other marketing materials we have for affiliates. If you have any problems, let us know. We are here to support your efforts, we are a team!
Section 16 - YOUR SMART MARKETING BANNERS
Along with the other materials (i.e. videos, email swipes, keywords, bonuses, etc.) we also are adding in banners for your use. These can be placed in widget areas if your websites and they can be used to add to content inside of posts in some cases.
We will alwayd be creating new banners (as well as videos) to provide you fresh materials to help with your promotion campaigns. Please let us know what kinds of banners that would work for you. If practical (and useful for all affiliates) we will consider adding them to the stable.
Section 17 - YOUR SMART INFOGRAPHICS
We are developing some infographics, comparison charts, and animated examples of information that will visually show prospects the value they are getting with or tools and programs.
Some instances include creating PDF Flipbooks, with video, Calls To Action, and more (i.e. audio and notes). This is like infographics on steroids. Also something that is not being done much to now, so it will catch your audience's eyes...
Section 18 - SMART PROGRAMS SUCCESS STORIES
Over time, we are gathering success stories from our students and clients. As they agree to go public with them, we will also offer them to you to add in when you create a promotion or a review post about one of our programs.
These will help you convince the fence-sitters that they should take action. Social proof os very important these days, so the more we can get for you and for our program the better. Of course, that means we have to work hard to deserve such testimonials!
Section 19 - EXTRA - SMART FREELANCER SERVICES
We want you to be aware of some of the other ancillary programs that we deal with under the SMART umbrella of training, tools, & programs that we are building. This is one that may be of interest to you or your prospects
At the moment we provide Freelancers from areas of the world where PayPal and Stripe do not operate a way to offer their services in the global market. We provide the payment gateway accounts, receive the proceeds from sales they garner, and arrange wire transfer to them in their location.
Additionally, we are in the final stages of deploying our own freelancer site called SMART Freelancer Services. It will be one site, but marketed to the biggest 20 metropolitan area starting in the USA.
Although you may not receive commissions for this, it is a feature that may convince some in your audience to take action and get started. That is why we are adding this as a section within this support platform.
Section 20 - EXTRA - SMART COACHING SERVICES
As with the SMART Freelancer service and site, coaching is another service that we have for clients that are looking for a 1-1 or a small group setting coaching program. Sonce these are not a regular offer or service, we will not be adding them to the affiliate program at this time.
If that changes we will certainly let everyone know. In the meantime, there are ways to earn more commissions as you promote our programs and products. Be sure to come back here often (and stop in at the community) to stay abreast.
As with the Freelancer service, this feature may be something that will convince your subscribers or prospects to take the plunge and sign up for one of the programs we have (meaning you make a commission!).
Section 21 - EXTRA - SMART LOCAL BUSINESS CONSULTING
From time to time, we also work with local brick and mortar companies or ones that may have an online presence in addition to the brick and mortar operation. This is something we do on a case-by-case basis.
It is available, depending on time. Because it is not a regular part of what we do, it also is not included in the affiliate program we have developed. But as with the case with the Freelancer Services and the Coaching, letting your prospects know that this is there may help you sell them.
