I was just wondering how your conversion rates are. What product did you pick since theres so many. PPC, Article Marketing, etc? I understand if you don't wanna divulge certain information but if you don't mind it be nice. I am promoting this niche currently and was wondering how your conversions were compared to mine.
I promoted http://www.threeredlightsfix.com for a while using article marketing but the conversion rates were absolutely horrible. Dabbled a little in PPC to no avail either. The reason I suspect is because the information is freely available on a lot of different websites and forums, and considering that xbox owners are generally technology savvy they'll know where to look to find the information for free. What I found worked best oddly enough was offline marketing. I placed an ad in a newspaper section "Xbox Repair Guide - Fix Your Xbox in 30 Minutes For Only $30" I made a niche chunk of change that way.
some days back I have made a few sales for those 'xbox 360' repair guides. It was from search engine traffic.
Of course I'm prejudiced because I own the site (www.3redlightfix.com - but I have many affiliates making sales every day. There are still a TON of xboxes breaking down every day with the 3 red light error. If you can be johnny on the spot with a solution, you'll make an easy sale. That being said - our top sales come from Pay-Per-Click (mainly google adwords). Then we still get a lot of sales from forum posts, answer board posts (like fixya.com), and we actually make pretty good sales from youtube videos, and of course articles. For a while we had one affiliate making 10 sales per day, just from a hubpage article. Good luck -
That's pretty much funny that your guys are talking about that because before yesterday I had a sale from this niche and I was pretty much just testing it.Nothing really excited though. When I got 2 more sales from it, I will definitely take a look at it. saczilla don't ask people if a niche works because not all of us will tell you the truth. All you need to do is to put some effort on that niche and see if it does work or not.Good luck mate Mega
Despite getting a ton of impressions on youtube, and having a few squidoo lenses and an ezinearticle, I have only made one sale in the niche. I have decided not to promote the niche past those efforts.
Yep, a lot of people never even consider offline marketing. It's a one time expense that can get you a lot of traffic. Consider those free Metro newspapers, they're very short so people tend to read everything, they're read by thousands of people every day. You just need to have a url that's easy to remember so when people get to work or at school they can log on to a computer and just type it in from memory.
WHOAH! That is a darn good idea. In Philadelphia proper everybody reads the Metro, even more than our paper, The Philadelphia Inquirer. Do you have by any chance, a rate card from them? I should inquire, probably because the difference in circulation rates from town to town greatly variate the post rates. Another awesome idea! Tom The Forex Guy
I have tried to promote xbox repair guide using blogs and article marketing. My conversion rate was 1:200. People can find this information for free that's why they don't buy it.
I'm not too sure, I promote xbox repair guides also and over the last 30 days I've converted at 1:14 hops and i'd imagine around 1:20 over the last 90 days so there is a demand (all organic traffic).
Hey I used to promote it and actually did quite well from it and I can still bring in sales from it. The best site that brings in sales would be through organic search engine searches to my blog and also through usfreeads shocking
My conversions just for the past 30 days have been 1:59 so I think that's pretty good and that's on article marketing with maybe five articles out there. I would say that if it isn't selling for you, the problem isn't the product, it's your promotion.
