Hi Everyone,
First of all, I'd like to say a BIG thank you to all of you who promoted for us during the launch of The Whole $ale, you guys and gals are awesome!
Update 1:
Towards the end of the launch we decided that to help insight sales we would do something that we had never done before, we created a payment plan - and it worked beautifully! With the initiation of the payment plan sales soared!
We received a lot of really great feedback from our customers who were so thankful for the payment plan option that we decided to continue to allow people to purchase the Membership + Whole $ale Education Package Deal using the payment plan option.
Here is the price break down so that you can better understand what you see when looking at your stats:
-
Option 1
Worldwide Brands Membership: $299
-
Option 2
Whole $ale Education: $299
-
Option 3
Worldwide brands Membership PLUS The Whole $ale Education: $497
-
Option 4
Worldwide brands Membership PLUS The Whole $ale Education with Payment Plan:
$99 Down, $133 for 3 consecutive months (This will show in your account with each new payment)
So when you are looking at your transaction history within your account make sure to look at the sale amount, your commission for first tier sales is 25% of the purchase price, and for second tier sales is 10% of the purchase price.
Please note that price is subject to change. We are currently doing some price testing, and may offer special discounts from time to time.
Update 2:
OneSource by Worldwide Brands is not affiliated in any way with OneSource.com, OneSource Information Services, Inc., or its parent company, infoUSA.
Worldwide Brands Product Sourcing Tool formerly known as 'OneSource' by Worldwide Brands helps home-based Internet Business Owners decide what products to sell online, and where to get those products from genuine, verified wholesale suppliers.
OneSource by OneSource Information Services, Inc. provides Corporate Information Services including identifying sales prospects, monitoring competitive corporations, tracking company performance, managing customers effectively, and more.
These are two completely different companies and types of products. The companies do not share principals, officers, directors, members and/or shareholders and are completely unrelated. The purpose of this disclaimer is merely to prevent the danger of any consumer confusion.
For this reason we ask you to please update all your marketing avenues for Worldwide Brands (site/PPC/...) to remove any and all mentions of the term, 'OneSource'. You will notice that WorldwideBrands.com no longer makes reference to the term 'OneSource'.
Update 3:
We are creating new video tutorials for you to use. At the moment tutorials are in production, and scheduled to be released early next month.
The tutorials will provide a walk-through the 2 product; the Worldwide Brands Membership and how to use the Product Sourcing Tool, as well as a walk through The Whole $ale Education.
These videos will be available to use with your affiliate link! You will have access to them through the Affiliate Tools area. Please stay tuned...
Update 4:
Robin Cowie and Colette Marshall attended eBay Live 2008 in Chicago. We have the proof!
Check out their "music video" on YouTube.com: Mindy The PowerSeller
Update 5:
We are currently doing split tests on several of the WorldwideBrands.com pages. We understand that many affiliates take screen shots of the Worldwide Brands pages, so please be aware that the pages may change based on testing results.
Coming Soon...
Worldwide Brands is currently in production of some new videos that we'll make available to affiliates to send prospects to using your affiliate link. More details will follow; but below is a sneak peak of what to expect...
The videos include:
- Holidays Trends 2008 - This trending video will show you exactly what products and categories will be hot sellers this holiday.
- Amazon Video - Amazon is coming into our studios just to create this video to help our customers achieve maximum selling success on their platform
- Yahoo! Stores Video - We're also making a video with top Yahoo! experts to teach our customers how to get the most out of their Yahoo! store
- Trade Show Sourcing Video - In this video, we'll walk you through effective trade show sourcing for online retail
Well, that's all for now. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for promoting Worldwide Brands!

Affiliate Agreement Update |
The Affiliate Agreement has been updated. Please note the changes that have been made, they appear in blue text.
With the release of the higher price point product (The Whole $ale) it was decided to increase the minimum low payout limit from $75 to $125. The $75 limit just meant that you would have to generate more than 1 sale in order to receive commission, however the new, higher priced product lends itself to a commission of over $100 therefore we increased the low payout limit to reflect the same goal.
