I just wanted to lay out the system I've been using with E-Junkie and Aweber to make some good money. For those who aren't familiar with E-Junkie, it's sort of like Clickbank without all the bells and whistles. I bought the $15 per month package a month ago (40 products), and I hadn't used it. About two weeks ago I joined a great MRR membership site and so I decided to take 20 of the best products and set up the sales pages and set them up on E-Junkie to see how many affiliates I could get. A day later, the affiliates started to come in. As of yesterday (exactly two weeks later), I have 130 affiliates signed up to promote my products. Not bad. Now, here's where the list building comes in. The great thing about E-Junkie is that when they sign up to be your affiliate, you get a list of them from E-Junkie and it includes their email addresses. I set up a list in Aweber for my E-Junkie affiliates and as they cam in, I manually submitted them to Aweber. Over the course of two weeks, I submitted them all (you can manually submit up to 10 per day without doing an upload and having Aweber have to review it). Out of the 130, 57 have opted in so far. So now I have a list of 57 affiliates promoting my products. I set up an autoresponder series, and every 2 days they get an email talking about one of the products and a download link so they can actually have the product. These are all MRR products, so it's not a big issue giving them to my affiliates. My thinking is that it will encourage them to promote. I realize that most vendors don't do this, but I'm trying to think outside the box. If anything, it may educate them about the product so they can promote it more convincingly. Well, today I saw my first results. One of the products I promote is a set of 10 of those ready made squeeze page/report combos and I have it priced at $37 with affiliates getting 60%. Evidently, one of my affiliates has a good sized list (or a really busy blog or website) and did a broadcast today because as of right now I have sold 9 of them. He gets $22.20, and I get $14.80. So I've made a profit of $133.30 today from this method! I really like E-Junkie. It's much smaller than Clickbank, but that is working in my favor because there are a lot less products for internet marketing niche affiliates to pick from, and so I've got quite a few affiliates already. It's slowed down now, but the last few days I've still been getting 4 or 5 new affiliates. The first few days I was getting 10-20 per day. The point is that you don't need Clickbank to get good affiliates and that all you need is 3 or 4 really good affiliates to make some good cake. Any thoughts or suggestions?
GREAT info! I have 2 products I set up on e-Junkie, referred to me by Jeff Mills, so hoping they will go far. Nothing as of yet, but I'm still new to affiliate marketing.
No, it's not too good to be true. Do you actually think I would waste my time and make this up? I now have 150 affiliates and 63 total signed up to my affiliate list. I am now making at least 3-5 affiliate sales every day.
Congrats bro! Starting out in IM can be really hard for starters out there. This is kind of an inspiring story... lol
Well, you have to stay consisten and continuously promote. whe it comes to affiliates, quality is far more important than quantity. As of today, I now have 161 affiliates but only 18 or 20 that are making me sales. Out of those 20, the top 3 are making as much as the other 17. It's also important to reward an affiliate when you find a good one. for instance, I'll just send my top affiliate random $20 payments to their Paypal if they make me a lot of sales in a week, etc. It's important to reward them because it lets them know that you appreciate their work.
