    Hi,

    I have recently completed a report on the Secrets of Affiliate Marketing. It covers all the secret techniques used by successful affiliate marketers today.

    As it is still very new, I am giving it away for free. But I am considering to sell it later and want to know what is the reasonable price I should charge, especially when it comes with resale rights.

    Give me your honest comments pls.

    Looks pretty good. You should sell this eBook max like 10 copies. For extra. Looks nice.

    I will never buy anything from a sales page like that. Is that a generic sales page software or something?

    Nope, it is not generated by some generic sales page software but done from scratch.

    Maybe you can share what is missing and can be improved upon. This is not a sales page by the way. It is just a name squeeze page. If it were a sales page, I probably would include a ton of details. :)

    It's nothing specific about your page, it's just that I will never buy from a page with giant red titles and yellow highlighting. It just shouts SCAM (not that I'm accusing you of this).

    why don't you give out teaser chapter/tip via email drop down box? i mean right now you have email box on the bottom.

    capturing their email address is the key to promote ebooks so you can push and push and push for 7-10 days straight.. well as cross promote different clickbank ebooks.

    if you are serious about going all the way with this, make sure to add affiliate section (this is where most of your sales will come through).

    it wouldn't hurt to get in touch with other ebook marketers to joint venture with you? to push your ebook through their email list.


    good luck dude..

    How much you charge depends on your business model. What do you have on the back end to further market to this crowd? If you have some killer back end products, maybe it would be more worthwhile to get leads. If that's the case, I would work on developing an affiliate program.

    Otherwise, it's best to test. Find out what the market thinks it's worth. Then, try to add more perceived value, and increase the price. The goal is not to find the highest price to sell it at, but the right price that has the most conversions for the highest profits.

    homebizbuilder, I was reminded of the typical Butterfly Marketing page design. If you are going after the hype market, a $7 script idea would probably work. If you are going after an experienced market, you need a lot more white on the page, starting with the background.

    I found your Secrets Of Affiliate Marketing book very interesting and informative and will be applying some of the tactics myself.

    The only drawback of your ebook is the amount of affiliate links in there. While that is fine for a free ebook - in my opinion that is something that really puts me off when I buy an ebook and find it has lots of additional affiliate links, which you need to buy to become successful.

    My two cents

    Hi what puts me off is your picture - it just gives you this image of "a spy" working for the government. That "shit" is getting old.

    The fact that you are giving away free copies means you are building a list, hence the money is in the list. The bigger the list, the more chance you will have of selling this...Plus the earnings look kinda "shady"..

    Endorsements and testimonials would really help.

    Unfortunately the presentation has a "Get rich quick - too good to be true" feel to it.

    Even then I would only purchase something like this only after seeing a case study of its usefulness verified by a reputable third party.

    Hi MTheory, perhaps it is the content that needs some modification. But thanks for the case study suggestion!

    Yes Marketing Thug, building my list is an objective. But with some due respect, the earnings are real. If I want to give you a fake or doctored earnings statement, I would have given you a much bloated figure.

    In all honesty, I am really teaching folks who are struggling to succeed in affiliate marketing. You will know if you read the report.

    Hey ghostwriteranon, thanks for the encouraging comments. Perhaps I should relook the links portion but quite frankly, I was rather excited when it comes to talking about the powerful tools I use. They really make work efficient and effective in driving sales and traffic.

    Hmmm...white background. Perhaps it is a little cluttered. Thanks for the suggestion anyway fhs3

    Hi, my report is free which is why I did not include a teaser chapter. There is no upsell here. Have you read it? But you seen to know quite a bit about JVs, do you?

    Hi live-cms_com, thanks for the comments. Will take note of that.
