Hi Guys, I have recently finished my first ebook aimed at people worried about thier lung health from years of smoking. With the number of smokers and ex smokers out there this should be a massive audience! The product is called "The complete lung detoxification guide" and we are offering 50% commission on the sale of this $49.95 ebook. This is a new product and a new venture however so I would love to eb in touch with potential affiliates and hear what sort of additional tools you need to help promote my product. The site is www.lungdetoxification.com and the affiliate resources page can be found here: http://www.lungdetoxification.com/affiliates. I will continue to improve the site, sales copy and add bonuses and other items to make this product better with testing so get on board early! PM me or post here for more details
Well, affiliates page didn't work for me. I also think that better graphics and a page header might help here.
Hi Olivia, It took off the .html on the end of the link as i dont have enough posts here yet it seems. A new header is being worked on as we speak actually
Nice idea for a product, but isn't $50 kinda high for this? There's supplements out there that people can take that detoxify your lungs and those only run for like $20-$30. I used to work at a nutrition store so I've seen them and their prices. This is just information on how it's done so it's a little different and I'm curious if someone would spend $50 when they can spend less for a supplement that they take. Maybe I'm wrong, but just my opinion.
Hi J1218, A fair point We advise on more than just a supplement intake however. We also give advice on quitting smoking, staying off cigarettes, and using a holistic approach to improve the immune system. A single supplement will not have the same effect as using this whole system to imrpove the body and the mind We will be testing price soon to find the right compromise between conversions and profit also.
Yeah, I figured it was more than that, I'm just trying to put myself in the mind of a customer. People naturally want to find the cheaper way to do something and they might be like "well, I can buy this book for $50 or I can buy this supplement for $20..." But yeah test it out and see what happens. That's really the only way we'll know. Have you checked to see if there are any other products similar to yours and how much they're goin for?
Similar products in this niche offer 75% commission. Can you give me an reason why i should promote your product that just offers 50%. I know we have to count on absolute dollar value you get as an affiliate, but there are very decent products in this niche which gives 75% commissions or close to that and I guess will have same conversions if not better. Button line: Your 50% commission rate wont probably attack so many affiliates to your product, when they know they can get higher on similar or ever better looking sales page....... Generosity pays off
There are a couple of things in the sales copy too which could do with fixing - for example in your benefits list the first one is repeated twice, and as suggested above you probably need to offer a little more commission to really get affiliates interested, but I think this "whole mind and body" approach is interesting and offers potential, but I don't know the smoking market inside out or what other guides offer.

On a positive note, the site looks very good. However, 75% is more or less the industry standard on digital products at this price point. Simply put, you're not going to get many, if any, affiliates to promote at 60% when other products in the same niche offer 75%. Would you switch from a higher paying product to a lower paying product? It's difficult enough to cultivate affiliates, but when you're offering below the industry standard, it's nearly impossible. Best of luck.
Hi Onlinemoniez, I checked my competition and the commission rtes vary quite a bit ... from 50% to 75% so i dont think that there is a 75% standard though a decent amoutn do. As an affiliate myself I look at the money made per sale more than just the commission and at $27 I thought this would be something that myself as a marketer would still see as a decent commission on such a product. I am leaving this as it is for the moment as i know this is almost TWICE what my direct competitor is offering Cheers!
Nice clean landing page. I'll be giving this product a try within the next few days. Do you have any stats from your new landing page?
Hi Sevnrock, Thanks for the interest! I dont have enough data to really make a call on stats for the new design as it only just changed yesterday. I prefer to be honest about these things and not BS affiliates ... it simply needs some more time and more traffic before I can start talking about real conversion rates. My main affiliates are doing about 1 in 100 under the old design which was pretty naff so I am hoping this design should yeild better returns than that. When we adjust the copy I hope to increase this further as well
