    No market is too fluctuated. If you know what you doing its fine. Im a COMPLETE noob when it comes to IM, but ive made 6 forex sales, with hop ratios of like 2hops:1sale. Like its being said a million times on this forum. Call to action is key.

    Dude you need to add some credibility to your site and that shocking yellow color needs to be change and add a third product
    Have you taken a look some of thee top forex sites. look at their site, the layout of their site, you need to take some of those successful elemeints and add them to your site. I know you are trying to be different but in this highly competitive niche you have to up your standard.

    Hornetts,

    I think it is the domain, and maybe a cleaner page design might help you a bit better. per Tazer's suggestion, you need to change the design, so that visitors are not distracted or thrown off. Just get a simple 800 wide with a decent header graphic, then follow a design format, which is easy to read and gets the point across.

    Also for your "Click here for Instant Access" I would probably change to "Click here for more info" or "Take a Look at Forex Tracer1"

    I would also recommend, to cloak your links, and/or make a subdirectory on your website for each product you are promoting.
    for example, do domain.info/forextracer....

    put an index.php in each directory and write in the following code:
    <?

    header("Location: http://affid.pubid.hop.clickbank.net");


    ?>

    It will look more cleaner and more professional


    my two cents

    Serentyza,

    Call to action is absolutely key. Just don't have a page just telling them how awesome the product is, and then just throw a link. Invite them to click and proceed with the sale! In sales, if you do not ask for the sale, the answer will be no! If you ask, the answer may be yes!!!

    Mharrisr,

    I am not the strongest on PPC unfortunately. What I could recommend is, looking at some of the publisher's affiliate pages, which do have some keywords and sometimes sage advice on PPC strategy

    Bl4ckman,
    Did you say that when you start Internet Marketing? I sure as heck did too! Forex is a bit of a curve, but what you need to know is a bit of terminology and How to properly push a forex product. I strongly recommend that you go to www.babypips.com for a quick study. The curriculum is broken down, with graphics, and full detailed instruction, with a quiz at the end of each unit! And it's free too! If you have a question, let me know!!!

    I changed the color. It took me a while to figue it out but it is done. Is it any better? Also I am going to add a 3rd company. I am waiting for the forex brotherhood to actually launch. So how should I bring a more call to action to the page? Some examples?

    Hey cool to see this and by all means feel free to nudge me for some FX support if you'd like! Here Hornetss - I'm including all the landing pages i made recently so you can replace yours if you'd like - I will agree that you need to brand it better - all the graphics are stretched/wrong sizes and it is hard to read with that formatting. Install these pages and play around with the Styles for the text - this will convert much better for you (DO NOT STRETCH GRAPHICS).

    **NOTE: You can change the star rating too - images are included in the images folder - it can have 3 stars, 3.5, 4, 4.5, or 5. **You can also add onto each review by visiting each sites marketing materials affiliate page and getting more banners/graphics per product. I wanted to leave it bare and hoped you'd get a little creative!

    Download all of them
    http://forextracer.com/lp3/reviewlanders.zip **Make sure you CHANGE THE TEXT & don't forget to change your CBID in all instances too

    **Here are List Building Landers Too, this site doesn't launch for a month or so but you can use it to build promo and then use the landers above as your 'thank you for your opt-in' page that you redirect to once someone opts in...:

    Brotherhood FLASH list builder lp1:

    Download it:

    Best of luck with the challenge to everyone - this should be interesting to watch :) I'll keep my eye on this thread and try to help along where I can - and why not I'll even include my own little personal bonus to the winners (top 3?).

    How are you gaging it to pick the top 3 Tom? Are people showing screens/income shots per product etc? Would be cool to see stats rise and the whole process documented by a few members. Some of you should consider making this challenge your first documented success journal from $0-$10K in XX days! Take screen shots along the way and post them so we can see the growth/proof/inspiration etc!

    Best of luck to all!
    NC.

    My thoughts....

    Change the blue to the green that is currently the background of the head paragraph.

    And make the head paragraph's background color white.

    Also take advantage of the advice I had on cloaking the links!

    Any questions hornetts, please let me know!

    Tom

    absolutely awesome Norb! It is great to have a publisher on board with this who has a few products in the Forex niche! Also it is great with your contribution to the prize for the top 3!

    Hornetts, Norb does make some awesome landing page designs, and I just happen to use a couple for the forex products that he has published.

    Norb, I am still trying to gauge how I am going to tabulate the forex results. I will probably go with screenshots. Now since clickbank allows for hop tracking up to 90 days, we could ask to see their analytics and measure how many sales out of all sales were infact Forex Niche sales.

    Hornetss, if I were Google, I would hate you. Lol. Google doesn't have to know you're an affiliate, so lose the raw hoplinks.

    Good luck everyone, I'm not in by the way, I like my problem niches... lol.

    Here is a quick tip!

    There are different types of traders out there when it comes to Forex. Forex is not a one-size-fits-all type of market industry.

    It is good to know the major types of traders out there, so you know the best possible way to target your traffic when you are doing PPC, bum, or List marketing.

    1. Day Trader:
    This is the forex trader who happens to have a bunch of monitors on his computer system, who monitors a few different currency pair charts. Usually utilizes a grand deal of technical analysis to figure the best entry and exit points. This is primarily a work at home job, and depends on Forex 100% for their income.

    What would be an optimal product for them? This is the majority of the clickbank products that do not include the bastion of Expert Advisor systems that are out there.

    Signal software, such as metatrader custom indicators which will can help determine a better perception of entry and exit points in a trade. Books on Theory help out as well, from a great range from beginner guides to more complex topics such as Heiken Ashii or Fibonacci Retracements for example.

    I would also recommend a subscription product for them as well. Norb's new product coming out shortly, or Forex AutoMoney are two examples of several different monthly subscription based programs that would cater greatly.

    2. Long term trader:
    These are the folks who just want to throw their money into a position and just like with stock ownership, want to just see their money grow over the long term. For the majority of them, they work another job or have a career, but are looking for a second supplementary income for the time being. They are not the best at determining day trades, and might have failed at certain attempts at trading in the short term, just timid to go catch a couple of pips here and there!

    Product Suggestion: Anything that has to do with long term currency investment. I haven't seen much on clickbank regarding these type of products, but I am sure after some research, you could probably find a few. Expert Advisors could be bundled in this category, only in due respect that the traders sometimes do not have much time due to a second job or familial commitments.

    3. Automated Trading Solution users:
    This is a hot new trend with Forex Trading. Not a new element to the game in Trading as Firms such as Global Alpha from Goldman Sachs and the Nova Fund from Renaissance Technologies have used them to a strong advantage. I suggest you read on wikipedia about both of these trading systems and how remarkable they were to their respective firms.

    Forex systems now have modules that install right into Trading Platforms such as Metatrader 4. Systems, such as Forex Tracer, Forex Funnel, Forex Range Trader, and the more recent Trend Stuffer system fall into this category. The advantages are that they take a few simple steps and almost no learning curve to operate.

    The Automated Forex Trading Systems could fit a wide variety of traders. They could be for new traders who just want a second income, or maybe a new trader who has no time, or maybe they have lost their shirt a couple of times and want to give trading automated a try.

    4. News Trader:
    Probably the core audience of my blog site, goforextrade.com. These folks always throw tons of funding to news streams, news sources, and do nothing but guard by their bloomberg terminals for the latest news and quick wittedly make their decision to short or long based on the outcome of each news event.

    I have not looked, but I am sure there is a couple of products on clickbank that cater to this special group of traders. The News traders rely on Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci Retracements and knowledge of Supports and Resistances to gauge how much of a potential breakout will occur in news trading.

    That is my quick tip of the day for the Forex Challenge! How is everybody doing? are we selling forex products like hotcakes?

    If you have questions or concerns, shoot me a PM, IM or Msn Message!

    TRADE ON!!!

    There's no such thing as a over saturated niche - Why do you think a new clothing company, athlete, or music artist comes out with a new clothing line every week of the year?

    First day of the challenge has been met with 1 sale so far (never had more than 1 sale in a day yet - am still a noob).

    0.62% of the target reached :p
