I am new to all this. What I am wondering is , is this all worth it? I purchased a review site and have been promoting it thru adwords . I get paid by clickbank. Started Feb 29 have made $1540.00 in sales but I spent $974.00. So I did make a profit, but with alot of tweeking, I'm still pay .39 per click. I started at .52 per click. I had to pay adwords before I even get a check from clickbank, which is hard to do financially. I was thinking about promoting a product from clickbank market, but I don't have my own website. Can I just directly link my ad to the merchants website? Is this all worth doing? I know alot of people have their own sites but I am not interested in building a website just yet. Can I still make money like this or did I just hit it lucky the first time?
"Can I just directly link my ad to the merchants website?" Yes, you can, but it always better to have your own review website for the product. If you can't afford Adwords, you can try some Bum Marketing www.bummarketingmethod.com
"Can I just directly link my ad to the merchants website?" I used to do that too but couple days ago I realized that I was giving the merchants too much traffic and sometimes the buyers didn't even buy their products . So here is one of the steps that I m doing right now and I think you should try it too - Separate your traffic . The first 50 % goes to the merchant site and the other 50 % goes to your review blog - Also Create a review blog about the product you are promoting but in that same same blog write another review about another product that give or do exactly the same thing as the first one . Example . Let say that you are promoting fat loss 4 idiot and you write a review about it . On the second page of your blog write something for Top secret fat Loss Why ? Because sometimes people want to make sure they are not wasting their money and they also ask for a comparison . So show them at least 2 products and they will leave your blog with one . - Write an article about the topic(weight loss ) and link it to your blog ( ezine articles , go articles ) - make two squidoo pages ( link one to your blog and the other to the merchant site ) If the one that goes to the merchant site have a little bit more traffic than the one that goes to your blog switch them around . Also if the one that goes to your blog has a lot of traffic but it's not converting too well , you either have to adjust your blog or switch the traffic around again . Theses are one of my steps my friend , Now you just need to prove to the buyers that they can not leave without getting this product from your blog . Because if you let them leave and they come to one of my blog , I guarantee you they won't leave it without getting this product from me . ( just kidding ) Good luck with CB and also I used bum marketing not adwords
Do people have to pay for this guide ? I am very curious to read it but every time I am trying to download it , I got to a page where it asked me to make a payment using paypal .
Is Bum Marketing the same of WA? I remember when of the testimonies from WA and it's identical to the one on Bum.
I disagree, WA is a forum with stuff & info that can be found free if you just search for it. I'm also a big fan of BUM marketing which is making me some really good money at the moment!!
megarudy It's free I uploaded it to rapidshare, you don't have to pay anything to download files from there. After you click on download link on my blog, click "Free" at the bottom of the page, which opens. Then you might have to wait a bit before you can download. After a minute or two, enter the "captcha" and click download. That's it.
Made 4th Sale this morning! Just keep up with the efforts! You'll get there! I am trying to aim for a sale everyday, then try for two sales everyday. then double and double, until you cannot handle it anymore!
You made almost $600 profit in two weeks. This is better than a lot of affiliate marketers ever get to. That is over $15,000/year. Not bad. It can be tough to pay ahead for advertising but in your example after 3 paychecks you would have made $1800 profit. That would now cover your ad spend without touching your own money. Good luck.
You are making profit, right? That is already good... I think with some tweaking and split-testing you could increase your ROI. Alex
Here is what I think about Bl4ckman guide . If you are a newbie , you absolutely gotta spend a few minutes of your time on this guide . Only 17 pages but the author actually manage to give you a pretty good idea about CB and the steps that you can use to promote the products . Although I didn't really learn anything new from it , I am still thinking of trying step 4 - E-mail Marketing (Opt-in lists) just to see how thing go . Way to go Bl4ckman and to all the newbies here , go read this guide . Cheers
Far better than I, In the sales dept. I generally don't spend that much in advertising yet. But still you made a proffit and in just a few months it looks like you would have your advertising cost covered. Keep it up!
