Yes its true! We are now paying 100% commission to Earth4Energy affiliates. This is not a one-time offer to lure you in, this is 100% ONGOING commission to affiliates who make a certain amount of sales per month. If you are a super affiliate in this niche and your current vendor isn't paying you 100%, you're missing out. For more information on this offer please see our new affiliates page at: http://www.earth4energy.com/affiliates/ Notice our new link generator here: http://www.earth4energy.com/affiliates/#affiliatelinkgenerator Using this generator you can add in all of your tracking options, you can select a target page, you can also select if you want to use a live presenter or an exit offer. I have also added a bunch of keywords that relate to each of the target pages in the link generator. Anyway, if your promoting an energy website that isn't Earth4Energy - do the math to see how much more you could be earning. EG. If you make 30 sales per day add $11.30 onto each of those sales. That's an extra $339 you could be making every day if you promote Earth4Energy. Enjoy the pay rise! =) Let me know what you think of the new aff site. The idea was just to have a simple affiliate site that is easy to navigate. Banners for all websites at www.affiliatematerial.com will be online very soon. To those who have asked - sorry for the delay.
Nice thinking Swerd as this is one niche that has become very very competitive.. I do wonder if anyone can sell 750 copies / month to get the bonus though.. I'm just scraping that on the reverse phone products and we all know those convert about 3 X more than this market.. but hey I guess if it money for nothing then why not push it. Good luck
Well, great promotion, but it's more so of a marketing gimmick to attract affiliates. No one will really get 100% as getting 750 sales is really hard and at most, if there are affiliates who get it, it would be 1-2 at most....so more to create a buzz...
Not really a buzz, it's a great incentive for affiliates to start working harder. Yes, your average affiliate might get only 1-2 sales per day. But the experience PPCers I'm sure are able to get more than 750 sales per month on a consistent basis. I'm sure he has quite a few affiliates that exceed 750 sales per month
Thanks for the comments. This is not a gimmick to attract affiliates. There are affiliates making 2000+ sales per month in this niche so its not just to create a buzz , but still, nothing wrong with a little buzz. Basically, other vendors need to step up and offer their super affiliates 100% now. So no matter who affiliates promote, they are more than likely going to get a nice 25% pay rise. Swerd
Achieving 25 sales per day (750 per month) isn't that hard to do in this niche. I'm a publisher in this niche (competing product) and have several affiliates who do over 40 per day. When i was an affiliate (before i made the jump to publisher) i was doing over 75 per day. I also have a lot of affiliates that do 10-15 per day so with a little scaling, they will also soon be at 25 per day. This niche is hot and we continue to see sales increase each week. Just make sure you split test products to pick the best converting sales page (and the highest ROI).
Are you worried about your high-selling affiliates jumping ship? If I was making 750 sales a month, an extra $8,475 bonus would make me definetly consider changing the site I was promoting (assuming conversion rates are similar)
No, i'm not worried at all. I've already talked with my top 2 affiliates and they ran the numbers with the 100% commissions. They have split tested both sales pages (and all other products in this niche) and even with 100% commissions, they wouldn't come out ahead. Not even close actually. As one of my affiliates said "....conversion is (still) King". Split testing all product sales pages, no matter what product niche you are in, is critical. When i was selling 75 per day in this niche the energy guide i was promoting had a gravity of 4 (four)! It was the highest converting page at the time so that is the one i sent all my traffic to. If you do the math, that extra 25% in commissions is only worth about 5 hops per order. So if conversions were the same, yes, of course 100% would be better. If conversions were 5 hops per order better with a different product then it would be a break even situation. If conversions are better with a different product by 6 hops per order or more, then the 100% commissions isn't worth it. Again, split test the sales page (all of the top products in this niche) and let the numbers tell you which one is better. Better conversions AND better ROI.
Valid points. I agree testing is important, especially when dealing with such high figures. Either way, nice work on the bonus Swerd. I'm sure your super affiliates will be happy with the extra bonus.
I still have to learn how to be succesful with clickbank. I know affiliates are going great guns with earth4energy, Keep it up
Exactly Byron, Split test. If affiliates earn more with the 100% then welcome aboard. If your traffic doesnt give you a better ROI even with the 100% then there is no point changing over. BTW: Any conversion testing on earth4energy that has been done prior to about 2 weeks ago is void and means nothing.
While I have no particular allegiance to E4E or anyone involved, you're a "me-too"er dude who can't think of your own original ideas. So you copy other ideas once the concept is proven. Hey it's business and the competition makes it great for us affiliates. But as an innovator with truly unique insight and vision, I don't think much of you. If you say your program converts better, then if I was Swerd, I would pretty much just rip your page off with necessary wording changes to keep it legal. Your sales page looks pretty much straight out of every affiliate marketing book I have ever read so there is nothing unique there. It's dead easy to rip off a sales page if it's converting better. But it's a lot harder to stay ahead of the pack through innovation. Also I notice your refund rate is 7.53% which is more than double E4E's refund rate of 3.65%. A lot more dissatisfied customers. So I won't be signing up to your program until you can show you can innovate to the benefit of your affiliates. Just my 2c.
Yes, you are correct. In fact I never go into a niche until I see other people being successful. I have no desire to be the first into the market and no desire to be unique. We follow business and marketing trends then go into a market and dominate that market. We learn from other people's successes. I do this both as a publisher and an affiliate. Sorry if you have a problem with that, i just think that makes more business sense and the results speak for themselves. Where did you get the refund rate from? CBengine? Not sure how they get those numbers, but its wrong.
