I haven’t been actively marketing Cognigen and it’s products for some time.

When the founder of Cognigen Networks, Kevin Anderson, died last year, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen to Cognigen, so I pulled in my advertising to see what would happen.

In December, things began to happen that began to eliminate my doubts, but they haven’t coalesced enough to be really confident in restarting my marketing efforts.

Late in 2007, Cognigen Networks completed the acquisition of Commission River, Inc. and began to announce the changes in their affiliate/agent program.

Commission River will take over management of Cognigen and the compensation plan will undergo some big changes.

So, for now, I’m only going to start promoting Commission River products, even though I still have hundreds of links to Cognigen products and services.

Until further notice, I urge you not to join as a Cognigen agent. That may or may not change in the future.

In the meantime, if you want to promote top-quality telecommunications products and services, you are welcome to become an affiliate through Commission River. Unlike some of the other telecom marketing companies, there is no charge to become an agent with Commission River.

Hopefully, the uncertainty will continue to fade as new plans are announced.

One of the exciting products offered by Commission River is 1-800-FREE-411. Why pay when you are asking directory assistance for a phone number? Just call 1-800-FREE-411.

If you own or manage a business in a highly-competitive niche you may want to look into the low cost of intercept advertising. It can be an effective way to get new customers when they are in the mood to purchase.

Act on your dream!

I was talking about using traffic exchanges for marketing over at John Dilbeck And Friends and we started discussing Cognigen and marketing their products.

I would like to invite you to join the discussion at Who wants to discuss Cognigen and marketing their products?

I am looking forward to an interesting and educational discussion.

Act on your dream!

This article is for existing Cognigen agents and anyone who would like to become a Cognigen agent and market telecommunications products and services. Cognigen is free to join and offers great products for reasonable costs.

I am a very happy member of Ultimate Rep, a program designed primarily to market Cognigen’s products and services.

Kevin Anderson, the founder of Cognigen Networks, is the brains behind the Ultimate Rep program.

Let me say now that unlike some of the programs I recommend, I’m not sure Cognigen and Ultimate Rep are for everyone.

Some programs are easy to promote, such as GDI or BringYourBuddy, but Cognigen concerns telecommunications products such as cell phones, Internet access, broadband, VoIP, webhosting, domain registration, and other similar services. It takes quite a bit of work for a new agent to “learn the ropes” and feel comfortable with everything Cognigen offers.

Likewise, Ultimate Rep is a rather complicated program and will take some time and effort to really make use of it. However, once you’ve got everything set up, it offers some powerful tools to promote your Cognigen business and several other income programs. If you work your Ultimate Rep promotions diligently, you can build several residual income streams, in addition to Cognigen.

When Ultimate Rep was first announced, it was a requirement that all members had to be paid members of Empowerism, because Empowerism had an excellent autoresponder with 18 followup messages.

Empowerism announced around the beginning of August that they were discontinuing their autoresponder service, and, as a result, Kevin announced that Ultimate Rep members no longer had to be paid members of Empowerism.

That means that Ultimate Rep is now completely free to join and you can use it to promote Cognigen and any of the other programs you choose. This should make it a bit more attractive to people who did not want to join Empowerism.

Kevin announced that he is personally writing the code for an autoresponder that will do the followup to prospects who inquire about Ultimate Rep. This means that the messages can be customized even better to promote Ultimate Rep.

So, although it is causing some disruption and means more work for Kevin, I think that this is a very positive change for Ultimate Rep.

If you’ve been on the fence, now you can get a free membership and see what’s going on with Ultimate Rep from the inside.

I now recommend that all Cognigen agents get a free membership in Ultimate Rep. You don’t have to join anything you don’t want, and, like Cognigen, you don’t have to pay to be a member.

Don’t wait, go get it.
