OK, how about the number one and number three products in popularity under Money and Employment? Number One: "Marl the stock trading robot" Number Three: "SaleHoo Wholesale eBay directory" Both of these sales pages tell you exactly what you're buying.
XRumer. Please tell me you did not just call the single page clickbank format sales letter "flashy"? It's crap. And any SEO worth the keyboard he's typing on knows the INSTANT he sees that format to run in the other direction.
There was no contradiction in my statement whatsoever, and I did not complain about TheRichSchoolboy's site being too "flashy". I clearly emphasised that the site is full of gross exaggerations and blatant lies. Affiliate marketing is difficult, especially if one starts from scratch. Promising quick riches in this game is to be dishonest. Yes, vendors do have to grab attention and hype up their product, but it should be done without deception.
Masterful, thats how marketing works. Just take a look at your average TV commercial. What would your sales page say? "It is maybe likely you can get a few bucks here and there with my method!" ??? Do you think that people would buy eg. weight-loss products if they would emphasize on the PERHAPS...BUT...."OH, you still need to exercise" <---- Thats usually in the small print...sorry, you HAVE to see it from a marketer's view and NOT from a customer's view. I agree with the "deception" and "lies" thing..but as said this is always an act of balance...you WANT to sell, but you sureley dont want to emphasize the negative aspects. Thats why you have your disclaimer like "your results may vary"....and you do NOT put the disclaimer first and use the disclaimer to sell your product Regarding his product i actually cant say anything about it since i dont know it - so i neither can honestly say that his claims are BS and this whole thing is a scam..POSSIBLE....but i dont know.
That's how crappy marketing works. No offense. If you can't sell your product based on it's own merit, then your product isn't good enough to be selling. NOW, that doesnt mean you have to say "it can make you a few bucks here and there", but what you can say is "It teaches you the methods that I used to make money off the web. Work with this program. Give it a chance, and do what it says, and you will profit. Guaranteed." If all you could say about the product without lying is "You'll make a few bucks here and there", then don't sell the product. You don't have crap anyways.
You know what I LOVE to see? I love to see information products marketed as just that, information. I'm seeing it more and more. Explaining the benefits of increasing your knowledge base as an Internet marketer. It is so important to continue to learn. Putting it in terms like that is so much more appealing than marketing as a "hands free system" or something like that. The point is this. You always need to learn each and every day of your Internet marketing career. It's what you do with that knowledge that will dictate your individual results. The more you know about your chosen topic, the more value you will have as a marketer. Sheree
lol.. I'm all for sales pages and marketing but to suggest someone made $109,000 in a few short days is obviously a blatant lie. While I'm making money online, offline, line, and no line I have to agree this ad is a joke and only those who are willing to try stuffing a dollar into an envelope and sending it on expecting to get thousands back would buy into this garbage sales site. Affiliate marketing is just like every other business. Work hard, fail, try again, don't keep making the same mistakes, and, if you stay with it you can make a very nice income. Just my two cents
I hate to bring up an old thread but I couldn't resist.... TheRichSchoolboy.com was so successful that the owner must of sailed off on his yacht and forgot to renew the domain name...
