Creating a web page with s1 variable?

Postby Jamie Gaymon on Wed Sep 07, 2011 5:43 pm

Hi! I'm trying to build a presentation site for my primary opportunity, and I would like other reps to be able to use the site. I know how to create the html to make a buy now button, but I'm not sure how to set it up so that the s1 variable allows them to put in their link? I hope this question makes sense, and I hope that someone can assist me with this.

Thanks!

hey bro,

give us some context. s1 is not a standard variable - what is the payment system you're using and where does the s1 variable come from?

Thanks for responding Jim-
I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so I guess the best way for me to explain it is to draw out what I want it to do. As far as payment system, it's not for an affiliate program, what I want to do is create a presentation for my MLM biz with an enroll now option, but that allows other reps in my company to use it.

For example, examplewebsite.com would be the main presentation site, but then a rep would be able to type in examplewebsite.com/?s1=repid and the buy now at the end of the presentation would be their enroll link? I hope this makes sense, like I said, I'm a non-technical guy trying to explain things above my pay grade:)

I do know how to build a page that has a buy now button that shows up after a certain time, but it's this other part that has me stumped, and I've been digging around online all over to find it, so I'm beginning to wonder if I'm asking the right question?

Any help would be most appreciated buddy!

i think the simplest way to implement this would be to get a 1shoppingcart.com account. they have an easy to setup affiliate program.

you can customise your signup page and it automatically creates special links for your people to use.

you set it up to redirect to your sales page when the 1shoppingcart affiliate link is used.

and all purchases are tracked to the appropriate affiliate and you can even pay them directly from there.

also, if you dont like using 1shoppingcart links, you can use a redirect page so you can use youraffiliatedomain.com/?s=USERID

you would add a simple php file called index.php at the root of youraffiliatedomain.com and write in it the following code:

<?php
header('Location: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid='. $_GET['s'].'&u=http://www.YourSalesPage.com');
?>

replace the YourSalesPage.com with your actual sales page url.

now you can reference any affiliate URL using http://youraffiliatedomain.com/?s=affiliate_id

hope that helps. i know it's a bit of a handful, but it's not necessary if you just use the regular 1shoppingcart affiliate URL.

Jim thank you so much! That makes total sense. The second option actually makes more sense to me, I had to do something similar when I built my main blog to eliminate the .html and .php from the end of all my site links.

Thanks for the help man!

you're welcome!

be sure to refresh the page if you're gonig to copy the code. i had to make some edits because there were a couple of errors i noticed after in my code and my explanation.

Hey guys, you can do it without the shooping cart.

Here's the code:

<? echo $_GET['s1'] ?>

When designing the page just put the code in place of whatever you want replaced - s1 can be replaced with anything, AND the file has to be a .php.

so change the name of your index file to index.php and it should work

The end result is yourdomain.com/?s1=anything

Example - http://mpbmasterminds.com/webinar/?s1=jonmroz (shameless plug - hehe) This is a webinar I created for my team... I think the same as what you're trying to do.

I use dreamweaver to do this.

Hope that helps
