TopRanked.io Weekly Affiliate Digest: What’s Hot in Affiliate Marketing [IQ Option Affiliates Review]

Quick Disclosure: We’re about to tell you how IQ Option Affiliates is a great partner program. And we really mean it. Just know that if you click on an IQ Option Affiliates link, we may earn a small commission. Your choice.

Hey there affiliates.

This week we’re gonna talk about one of the most useful things in an affiliate marketer’s bag.

Conspiracy theories.

And we’re not just talking about how you can profit off of them (there’s some great niches).

If you skip to the closing thought, we’re also gonna reveal the mind control tricks conspiracy theorists use to trick people into believing them.

Well, maybe not quite that. But we are gonna look at a masterpiece in conspiratorial copywriting to see if there are any legit tricks that we can learn from it (hint: there’s a lot).

But before we get there, we’re first gonna need a vehicle to monetize with (an affiliate program).

TopRanked.io Affiliate Partner Program of the Week — IQ Option Affiliates

Before we get to the conspiracy theories, first let me introduce you to IQ Option Affiliates.

Why IQ Option Affiliates in particular?

Well, because I needed something with a direct, monetizable tie into the conspiracy theory that comes next (something to do with financial markets).

And, after I evaluated all the options, IQ Option Affiliates was by far the best.

Here’s why IQ Option Affiliates is absolutely worthy of your attention.

IQ Option Affiliates — The Product

IQ Option Affiliates is all about selling direct access to one of the most powerful retail trading platforms on the market.

Here’s what makes IQ Option Affiliates such a powerful platform for retail traders:

• With IQ Option Affiliates, you’re not limited to “stocks” or “crypto” or “forex”. IQ Option Affiliates lets you sell all of the above (and more), all with one platform (IQ Option Affiliates, duh!)
• Besides sheer breadth, IQ Option Affiliates also lets you offer retail traders serious (but not recklessly stupid) leveraged trading options.
• Unlike some other platforms in this niche, IQ Option Affiliates is actually a regulated, registered platform in a boatload of jurisdictions. IQ Option Affiliates registrations/licences/authorizations include EEA, CySEC, AFM, Regafi, CNMV, Consob, FCA, etc., etc. Basically, if it exists, then there’s a good chance IQ Option Affiliates is all over it.
• Not that this sets IQ Option Affiliates apart, but, if another platform offers it (e.g., demo accounts), then IQ Option Affiliates probably offers it too.

In short, if you wanna promote a trading product — especially if you want one to rule them all — then IQ Option Affiliates is hard to beat from a purely product angle.

But, as you all know, we wouldn’t recommend IQ Option Affiliates (or any program for that matter) if the only thing they had was a good product.

Of course IQ Option Affiliates has plenty more going for it.

Let’s take a look.

IQ Option Affiliates — The Commissions

Now for the most important part — the IQ Option Affiliates commissions.

Here’s the headline IQ Option Affiliates commission — up to 50% rev share + instant CPA payouts for each active user.

Now, obviously, when IQ Option Affiliates talks about 50% rev share, you’re not actually going to get 50% of whatever your IQ Option Affiliates referrals trade.

That would be stupid.

What you are getting, however, is up to 50% of the profits that IQ Option Affiliates actually make off of your referrals trades.

Okay. Wait. Maybe that’s stupid too — I mean, IQ Option Affiliates is basically sending you a 50% cut of whatever they make, and they’re the ones that have to foot the bill for operating the platform.

Oh well — if that’s how IQ Option Affiliates wants to roll, you won’t hear any complaints from me. (Quite the contrary…)

As for other goodies, of course IQ Option Affiliates has plenty of stuff to help you succeed.

• IQ Option Affiliates has no balance deductions whatsoever (no negative balance!)
• IQ Option Affiliates gives you smart universal links that auto-detect geos
• IQ Option Affiliates has a killer analytics dashboard
• IQ Option Affiliates offers more payment options than you can count on your fingers (wire transfers, crypto, etc.)

Oh, and just in case you’re wondering “How much can I actually earn with IQ Option Affiliates?”, their top affiliate earned $261,618.85 in the last 30 days.

Now, obviously that’s not gonna be easy to achieve (that affiliate clocked 50,562 deposits). But, it’s still a good idea of what you can achieve with IQ Option Affiliates.

IQ Option Affiliates — Next Steps

That’s enough about IQ Option Affiliates for now.

Affiliate News Takeaways — Hostile Alien Tech From Deep Outer Space

The last few days, there’s one news story that’s been almost impossible to ignore.

Here it is.

Now, for those of you who’ve been living under a rock and have somehow missed it, here’s the quick tl;dr version.

• There’s an unidentified object drifting through space.
• That object is called 3I/ATLAS
• 3I/ATLAS current trajectory means it will pass through our solar system in the not too distant future
• However, 3I/ATLAS is still too far away for astronomers to see clearly
• As such, a Harvard professor posited that it might be an alien UFO planning a fly by.

Now, before we go any further, let’s get something straight.

First, no, this is not fake news. A real Harvard professor (Avi Loeb) really did publish a paper discussing the possibility of 3I/ATLAS being hostile alien tech.

But here’s the thing that most people missed (who actually reads papers, right?) — the introduction to the paper:

“This paper is contingent on a remarkable… hypothesis to which the authors do not necessarily ascribe…  The hypothesis is an interesting exercise in its own right, and is fun to pursue, irrespective of its likely validity.”

Translation — the paper is merely a speculative exercise.

An academic game.

That’s it — it’s not proof of anything.

But, of course, that hasn’t stopped the more conspiratorial corners of the internet from going into meltdown.

While there’s plenty of craziness I could show you, I’m gonna keep this bit quick and simply show you a video of Jeremey Corbell that’s suddenly started going viral again (watch the video… it’s the main theme of this week’s edition. You’ll see why later.)

"You're gonna be told that there is a craft on its way to Earth.

That 100 fucking percent is the lie you are going to be told."

Anyway, with that “here’s the news” intro out of the way, let me tell you why I’m telling you about it.

I think it could be highly profitable.

Why?

Because conspiracy theories are a great way to hook attention, and sell stuff.

Don’t believe me?

Fine.

Let me present you with Exhibit A.

Now that’s what I call a “Perry Mason moment”. (Wink-wink, see what I did there?)

Oh, and for all you Alex Jones fanboys out there who don’t think he’s a peddler of conspiracy theories, then fine…

Here’s a screenshot from the fake news media.

See.

All the conspiratorialists are making bank.

Oh, and also, if that’s not proof enough, then go take a look at our Affiliate2Day review edition from back when the Baltimore Bridge got rekt.

Conspiracy theories were running wild back then, and we gave you an example of someone profiting off one of those theories (Lara Logan).

But she wasn’t the only one using it to bait for attention.

Is that the distant echo of a ka-ching that I hear…?

Anyway, now I’ve established that conspiracy theories sell, let me get to the rest of the news, because this “3I/ATLAS is alien tech” thing isn’t the only conspiracy piece that dropped this week.

We also had this story break just a couple of days ago.

Do you see what I see?

Here, let me spell it out:

• If conspiracy theories are profitable
• Then we have what’s called a “market”
• Meanwhile, as per the news, participation in conspiracy theories is growing
• Therefore, we have a growing market.

Let me repeat that — we have a growing market.

Also, that headline’s not the only useful item from that news.

Turns out, the people behind it also did a study that looked at why people get trapped in conspiracy theories.

In short, for many participants, it’s not about the theory itself. It’s more about the “sense of community”/”social and emotional connections” with other believers.

Why’s that useful?

Easy — because it gives you a hint at how you can retain conspiracy theorist attention once you’ve hooked it.

You offer them community. (Start WhatsApp/Facebook groups… subreddits… whatever. Get creative.)

Takeaway

Look, I don’t think I’m revealing any big secrets here.

People have been profiting off of conspiracy theories for years.

What might not be so obvious, however, is the exact path to profit. Here, there are a couple of options.

First, you could go out and copy some popular playbooks.

Andrew Tate… Alex Jones… name your conspiratorialist and, chances are, they’ve got something to sell you.

Or, instead of just playing copy cat, you could come up with your own playbook.

Here’s an example.

Let’s say the whole Jeremey Corbell conspiracy is true.

Then think about what the possible motivation behind the conspiracy actors could be.

Maybe it’s to create a “plausible” excuse to order global marshal law and force international “cooperation” (for defensive purposes) under a single, unified, global regime — some might even be tempted to call it a “New World Order”.

Okay, now what?

Who’ll win?

Who’ll lose?

And how do you join the winners?

Well, one way might be to profit with the winners. Look where they’re investing their money, and do what they’re doing.

And if that’s a plausible narrative, then an equally plausible product to promote would be IQ Option Affiliates — the best way to make leveraged bets on big moves.

Now let’s get to the big piece I wanted to cover this week — Jeremey Corbell’s video.

Closing Thought

As affiliates, our art is persuasion.

Watch this.

Click here.

Buy that thing.

In effect, you could say we’re no different to people who spread conspiracy theories.

And, if that’s true, then that probably means there’s a thing or two we can learn from the most successful of them.

And thus, we return to Jeremey Corbell.

If you haven’t already, watch Jeremey Corbell’s great 2027 conspiracy video I posted in the news section. Here it is again to save you scrolling up.

"You're gonna be told that there is a craft on its way to Earth.

That 100 fucking percent is the lie you are going to be told."

Now be completely honest here — even if your logical brain knows it’s insanely unlikely that he’s actually right, did a part of your reptilian brain find itself lulled into wanting to believe him?

I bet it did.

I know it did.

And that’s because his script writing (I’m convinced it’s a script) is an absolute masterclass in rhetorical devices.

Let’s start with the transcript.

The lie is coming.
All indications — like all of them — is that that lie is going to be that there is a craft slowly making its way to us on earth.
And that is the lie they want you to believe
It’s nuanced how they explain that — the nature of that threat.
But that 100 effing percent is the lie that you’re going to be told.
Even got a date — People have been whispering a date for a long time now.
I know where that lie comes from. I know specifically what document from the 70s initiated the idea of that lie.
A classified document
That is the lie that you’re going to be told.
You’re going to be told that there’s a craft on its way to earth.
That’s the lie.
Maybe I’m wrong
I hope I’m wrong.
I sent you two texts today with a year. [Talking to producer.] 
Not from me. Nope.
I’m not gonna propagate that lie. I’m not going to say it to the camera.
Everybody knows — just start paying attention.
And they’ll change the date. Especially if they see this. Things will change, because maybe I’m trustworthy, maybe I’m worthy of your trust — maybe I’ve told you the truth the whole way through and now you can verify it.
If that’s the case, then I’m fucking dangerous.
You’ve been told the truth about UFOs for a long time now.
It’s been pretty orchestrated, it’s been pretty clear.
It’s using people that are telling the truth and want to tell the truth.
Ultimately they want you to know something — they want you to know that UFOs are a real thing.
Thank god we’re there, we’re finally there — we’re all there now. They want you to know the truth.
But why they want you to know that truth now? I hope I’m wrong, but it’s terrifying. 
Think about it.
Maybe it’s good to get ahead of it.
Call it out before they do it.
I’ll be called crazy.
That’s okay.

Jeremey Corbell

Now, most of you probably instinctively pick up on a few devices here.

A lot of it’s the same stuff we use in clickbait all the time.

Exploit curiosity gaps to create tension between what you know, and what you want to know.

Deploy open loop narratives that invoke questions that aren’t immediately resolved.

You might even know some of the psychological explanations that tend to get given here — the Zeigarnik Effect, for instance.

But what Corbell is doing here is much more than simple clickbait, even if these are the devices he’s using to hook you, and keep you hooked.

The rhythms.

The precision theatre.

The medieval defense tactics.

It’s all there.

And yes, I did just say there’s medieval defense tactics.

So let’s start with that one.

Motte-and-Bailey Fallacy

Motte-and-bailey was a “castle” design that emerged in the late middle ages.

It’s also a phrase used to describe a logical fallacy.

It looks a little like this.

The way it works basically goes like this:

• Advance a “bailey” (an outlandish/unsubstantiated claim) — “You’re going to be told that there’s a craft on its way to earth.”
• Retreat to the “motte” (a “safe”, easily-defended position) — “They want you to know that UFOs are a real thing. Thank god we’re there, we’re finally there.”
• Hope that this tricks critics into thinking that an attack on the “bailey” is also an attack on the “motte”, and is thus, the attack is unreasonable.

Now, obviously, this alone isn’t enough to convince.

Especially in a standalone spoken/written monologue piece like this — usually, a motte-and-bailey play is more effective in an active debate, where you can time your retreat to the motte to perfectly defend against your opponent’s offense.

But, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a subtle effect in a monologue.

Particularly when combined with other devices.

Anaphora

If you know what alliteration is, then you already sorta know what anaphora is. (It’s different, but similar)

Anaphora is the repeated use of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses.

One of the most famous examples here is Winston Churchill’s “We Shall Fight On the Beaches” speech from 1940.

Here it is visually.

And here’s an even more famous deployment:

And now take a look at the transcript of Corbell’s little spiel.

Pay special attention to the use of the word “that”.

So how does this work?

Repetition hijacks your pattern-seeking reptilian brain into seeing patterns that don’t really exist.

Repetition lulls you into believing what you’re reading/hearing without question.

Repetition manufactures conviction.

Even if the only repetition is a simple, empty, meaningless pronoun (that), your reptilian brain still doesn’t know any better. All it knows is that repetition == a pattern. And when there’s a pattern, you’ve likely discovered a truth about the world.

Also, pay attention to how Corbell doesn’t deploy anaphora in the strictest sense — repetition at the beginning of each clause.

He messes with the rhythm a little.

Not so much that the effect is lost.

But just enough to conceal what he’s doing.

Why?

Because he knows that after years of exposure to the device, the average reader/listener has become somewhat desensitized to it. And so, he diverts around your defenses just enough to avoid detection.

And it works.

Precision Theatre

The use of precision theatre should come as no surprise to anyone who’s ever tried to sell something with dubious “scientific” claims.

They’re the classic example.

“Clinical trials demonstrate that 92.31% of participants felt younger after one week.”

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this device, re-read the above and ask yourself if you know exactly what the product delivers.

You don’t, other than some vague claim about “feeling” younger.

But because there’s numbers and a “clinical trial”, you think there’s something precise in the claim.

And this is the same device Corbell uses when he tells you that ‘high-level sources’ say an event is planned.

When?

Oh, he’s got a date — 2027.

Okay, who are these sources?

Oh, nevermind, it’s a classified document…

Which classified document?

Oh, nevermind… I’ve got another date for you.

It’s from the 70s.

Now, at first, you’d think he could do better here — why doesn’t he name who produced the document?

That would add precision, no?

Well, at the same time, it’s maybe not in his best interest to be too precise — too much precision invites too many questions.

It’s the same dynamic that would play out if you replaced “visible signs of aging” with something more precise, like “wrinkles”.

Suddenly, people want to know how much it can reduce wrinkles — and maybe that’s where the “magic” starts to fall apart.

The same thing applies to Corbell’s theory — “Oh, you say the CIA produced this document? Okay, but why would the CIA be planning this conspiracy?”

Now he just has more explaining to do. And, with too much explaining, the magic might fall apart.

It might also kill the power of the conspiracy, which leads me to the next device.

Vagueness Fallacy/Appeal to Anonymous Authority/Hypostatization/etc.

This one’s another classic marketers are all too familiar with — the use of an anonymous group to create various illusions.

“Experts say.”

“Studies show.”

And, if you’ve listened to Trump talk, then you probably also know the simplest formulation — a simple “they”.

Seriously — listen to Trump speak for five minutes, and I guarantee you’ll hear him reference an anonymous “they”/”everyone”/”people”/etc.

“They all agree…”

“People are saying…”

“Everyone knows…”

And this is what Corbell does, too.

He drops a reference to an anonymous “they” 10 times in his spiel.

And who’s this they?

Don’t know.

And that’s the point.

Your reptilian brain hates an information vacuum, so it pokes your imagination to automagically fills in the blanks — it’s a shady cabal of NWO globalist elites… a joint 3-letter-agency x deep-state task force designed to sew mass political upheaval.

Who knows?

I don’t.

But here’s what I do know — “they” isn’t the only use of this device Corbell uses.

Check this one out, for example: “People have been whispering a date for a long time now”

See what’s going on here?

Experts say that everyone agrees with how this device works. So much so that it’s trusted by leading operators, used by top creators, and preferred by pros.

Insider Status Signaling

Corbell knows something you don’t know.

He’s seen classified documents.

He’s heard people “whispering a date”.

This is powerful conspiracy fuel.

It also makes for powerful marketing copy if you wanna lull the inattentive person into thinking there’s something extra special about what you’re selling.

Of course, he has to stay vague — it would undermine his credibility if he all of a sudden just said “yeah, my buddy in the NSA just dropped this…”

But that doesn’t mean you can’t deploy the device with more precision yourself.

If you don’t believe me, then you clearly haven’t run into many YouTube ads lately… apparently, a former NASA engineer invented a genius cooling device.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering how I learned about this trick… well, I learned it in Andrew Tate’s war room…

…nah, just kidding.

If I told you where I really got it from, I’d probably have to kill you.

Poisoning the Well

The weakest use of a rhetorical device in Corbell’s otherwise masterful speech is probably the bit where he says “they’ll say I’m crazy.”

It’s not that the device doesn’t work.

It’s just that the device, in its cliched form, doesn’t have the same bite anymore.

As for what the device is — it’s a prophylactic against critics that pre-frames them as cowards/shills.

And as such, disagreement becomes further proof of the manifest truth of what he has to say.

Now, while Corbell’s “they’ll call me crazy” formulation arguably falls flat on its face (it’s a tired trope by now), that doesn’t mean the device doesn’t work.

Here’s a slightly updated version of it that was tweaked to perfection for a particular audience.

And here’s another formulation you can use when selling a product:

“Haters will say it doesn’t work.”

Oh, wait… the haters cliche has kinda lost its edge now, hasn’t it.

Fine, here’s a tweaked formulation:

“If you don’t see results, it’s your mindset.”

So just trust me on this — unless you’re the kind of person who needs hand‑holding or makes excuses, this rhetorical device works.

Conclusion

While this isn’t an exhaustive list of all the rhetorical devices Corbell’s using, hopefully it gives you a few new ideas for how you can persuade with copy.

So now you’ve got a few new tricks up your sleeve, why not go and test them out with a sweet little offer from IQ Option Affiliates?
