    What am I doing wrong? I've submitted 17 articles to EZA so far, but haven't made a single sale yet.

    www.stayingerect.com is my landing page.

    my 2c ...

    your landing page is pretty good ...

    but the sales page is a shocker ... no graphics, just text, horrible black / red / white colour scheme ... mate, if there's a similar product you can promote with a better sales page, i'd give it a go!

    So it's not me; it's the product? That's a little relief, but now I'm upset with how much time I've wasted.

    Most of my articles refer to the product by its name and all of the other erectile dysfunction products are even worse than that one :/.

    "Are You Tired Of Your Pitiful, Impotent Penis?"

    Try to comfort/encourage your customers, instead of *** their shame. I realize that you move into sharing their shame and it adds a personal touch to your pitch. It's just a risky technique, and I wouldn't personally use it.

    The sales page is not THAT bad. It's plain, but skimming the copy it looks pretty decent. And it takes a much 'gentler' approach to the customer's discomfort. However it also has an affiliate link right below the purchase link... From your stats (a lot of order form impressions and no sales) you might be losing some sales to that affiliate link. It's SOO hard to find vendors that don't do that crap.

    How did you know ;)

    In all seriousness - I NEVER name the actual product in my article (unless I'm VERY confident in it) for that very reason. I'd say something like: "a new product has been released which contains the most accurate information available to help you with ED" or whatever. The point being, you can then re-direct traffic to different products to test them out and see which one converts best. Also, if conversions drop off for some reason (like the vendor changes their sales page) you can try a different product.

    I would promote that product if I were you..

    Since you're in the Penis Enlargement niche then you might want to consider promoting http://www.penisadvantage.com. :)

    A better method would be to build yourself a list of things you enjoy writting about and then do research into those areas to find products linked that you like - then do keyword research into those products and then find the product on clickbank and if it doesnt exist... either make it or go to the next on the list.

    Dont keep trying to hit it big with one niche your not that into and dont try and find your day job in a single product that just seems like it would sell good... it needs to sell for you.

    Example: I enjoy writting about health problems related to hair/beauty products so i found the dandruff niche i was promoting one particular product (search this section and you might find it) with small success but i dodnt like their sales page with google ads in and newletters that sell without you in it so im now changing my review pages to promote petes product when he starts to promote that instead since he wont scam me over. After that ill be moving into scar solutions as thats also to do with beauty... Once ive built my sites i move onto the next whilst promoting the last one, this tactic has so far worked for me.

    I second that. If you want to promote anything related to "penises", then the best product to go for is Penis Advantage.

    Simply edit your landing page a bit to match the new product.

    If you go to the marketplace and type in the word 'premature' it should be the first result. It comes up as 'Best Premature Solution' and has a gravity of 97. I've never had a single refund with this product.

    :rolleyes:

    Come on now. I've sold thousands of dollars worth of products to people who pay after reading my articles and so have many many other people. If you can't sell anything with articles...it means your articles aren't good enough.

    Nice landing page. But why aren't you capturing names and email addresses so you can build your own list and market to those people over and over.

    I wouldnt beat yourself up to much on picking a bad product. Learn the Lesson and move forward. Think about the positive; you can create a great click able landing page. So not all is lost :)

    For the hell of it, I'll give you guys a little update. Last night, I took jm55's advice and switched my product over to the Premature Ejaculation trainer and within 5 hops I already made my first sale! Now I know it wasn't my fault, but my product's fault. Thanks for all of the help, guys.

    article marketing is hard as the traffic is not targeted as other forms of advertising. Your landig page is good and you are getting hops but no sales proves their sales page is junk. Try to promote another clickbank product of the same niche or test different things other than clickbank. market health . com is another good one.
