Whoops, sorry mods -- I accidentally duplicated part of my previous thread. In this thread I am informing affiliates about a new lunch of a "sub" product. This hasn't been mentioned in any other thread and I am sorry for duplicating the affiliate material announcement in my initial (already deleted) thread. Now, moving on. It's the first day of the year and we're launching a new product, yay! PS3Fixer.com is now offering the Full Package that gives affiliates $400* per sale (75%!) The product includes our fantastic high converting guide combined with unlimited tech support and frequent newsletters that give customers valuable tips! This package gives real value to customers as from the 2 months since our product launch, we've had hundreds of inquiries from clients -- and they keep on coming and would gladly pay for support and newsletters. These inquiries aren't related to the YLOD (mostly) _How is this possible?_ The customer has a choice: 1. Basic package ($37 single payment with 2 month support) 2. Full package ($27 single payment + $10 per month) When the customer goes for Basic, he gets 2 month of support. When that expires, we persuade him to buy the Full package for unlimited support since he will save money by doing so. Eventually you get *$400 as your share!* -- or $380 if the customer initially goes for the Full package. Let's start this year with long-term revenues in mind, shall we? To checkout how the client chooses his product, simply go to http://ps3fixer.com CB ID = ps3fixer
Not to rain on your parade, but you do realize a brand new ps3 costs less than $300 and comes with what? 2 years guarantee? I don't think this is a viable business model, unless you market your services to novice ps3 repairmen who might need the occasional assistance to handle trickier repairs.
Ahh so you dont send the $400 all at once. tricky. Do affiliates get $10/month recurring if we get full signups?
I will have to agree with Smitten... it is not a viable business model. Put yourself in the shoes of the customer. Would you pay $10/month for years to come for the support you MIGHT need one day? No freaking way. People want a quick fix, that's just the way it is. The issue gets fixed - customers are happy but they will never pay for "prevention of the issue". If the PS3 breaks again, they'll find some other way to fix but noone will pay a monthly fee "just in case".
That bad thing about this is my PS3 had the YLOD and simply went to youtube and found out how to fix it
Sorry, I wouldn't agree with you. But I do in some ways. Firstly, many products information that's available on CB is freely available on the web, though the reason why these products make cash is because of MARKETING. However, you may lose some sales due to the fact that some people are tech savvy and know how to find this info on the net for free. But the majority of people aren't tech savvy. My product that is a fix for the YLOD has been selling very nicely and I've had many people email me for presales. So, as free as some of the info may be, some people just like to pay the cash as the feel more 'secure', for some odd reason. So, it's all about 'MARKETING'. Just look at Satellite TV for PC and the RROD Xbox repair guides. They sell, yet they're freely available on the net
This is an add-on product to the standalone single billing one. But since it went live last night, we've had 70% of recurring and 30% of single billing sales. Do the math
I have to agree with them on this. I don't see why someone would pay monthly, once its fixed its fixed.
I understand your point of view. However, when a customer sees a cheaper option, he usually doesn't consider what it's going to cost him eventually and goes for it. This is an already great product, converting way beyond expectations -- and it just got expanded to give you (affiliates) more potential revenues. Is it really that bad of an idea?
Thanks for this post.... but I really think this sounds deceiving and a little bit scammy. I mean, if you want to make a recurring income stream from these people, I don't think it's wise to do it from a fiixng guide. People just want to fix their machine and not spend out the equivalent on a new one. Just my .02
It free on YouTube, and 400$ for your guide... hmmm seems to me like someone didn't think this one through
As I quoted above before, anything on Clickbank is free (well for the most part, most things are free), but it's how you present a product and an idea, and if this is done successfully, it can be very profitable. But, yeah, you're right, $400 is way too much for support...
Man, you've taken this too far. You are a GREAT salesman and very talented marketer I give you that, but if you want recurring, this is just not the right product for it. Just my opinion.
I love the way affiliates on this forum get excited just about anything And btw, I get A LOT of sales from YouTube. How do you explain that? It is recurring billing, and they do get newsletters. Do you think ClickBank approves any recurring product just like that? No, they do extensive reviews and it took a lot of effort to get approved.
By my calcs to earn $400 would require a net revenue of $533, and a gross revenue of $578 (due to clickbank fees) The person would need to be a member for 51 months = 4 years!!!! You saying that affiliates will get $400 commission per sale is grossly misleading. Average commission will be probably approx. $25 per sale.
$400 per sale???? This is absurd. dherald, can you prove this statement? Show me at least one customer who paid you 10$ per month (for the last 4 years).
Why so rude? You get up to $400 per sale, which is very realistic. If you don't want to create yourself a long-term revenue stream, it's your problem, go sell some "How to pickup girls" products
I'm not saying your not making any sales with promoting on youtube, I'm telling you that this is pretty much a refund waiting to happen, if it already didn't. Like the guy above said, you a great marketer, but 400$ is pushing it for a guide.
I respect your constructive argument, however you are not being attentive. The initial and advertised price is $27, which is lower than the standalone non-subscription price. While the $400 is the POTENTIAL affiliate commission that can happen over the course of 2 years. So you are creating a long-term revenue stream. And nobody says you can't continue promoting this product as if nothing happened, nor is anybody forcing you to do so. I just created more potential for affiliates. If a refund will happen, it will happen anyway. We all know how bad it can sometimes be. And we also know that people who buy ClickBank products are generally lazy, so if a refund didn't happen (and they are on the FULL package), they will most likely enjoy their newsletters and unlimited support. For example, today we've created a video that showed a customer how to reset the PS3 completely (through the main-sensor button hold) because one of their BluRay discs froze up the PS3. He was really happy and will most likely NOT cancel anything.
