Alright - this isn't strictly Clickbank related but because I know many of you are keen promoters of the popular forex products on CB (me included), I thought I might as well post this here: I've got BIG plans for a forex community site which is going to kick all virtual butts out there but as part of the promotion for it, I am looking at ways which I can use a FREE PRODUCT to get initial viral interest. Now, I know you guys won't want to promote a free product so here's something I need to know - Would you be interested in promoting the product (will be a book) with the chance to win an Ipod / other high value item (might put a Macbook air in there) the winner of which will be determined by how many email signups you convert? It will work (at least I can see it working this way) would be to say "if you get 40+ signups you get an Ipod Touch, 300+ signups, you get an iphone or something like that. What do you think? Oh - I'm also thinking of doing it where you earn commission on every product that I sell in the future to the people you recommend. Rich PS - by "promote", I'm really thinking of the email list owners or actual blog / site owners. I'm not talking about PPC because I could do that.
I think its a good strategy for viral marketing, but you have to make sure that the signup is unique.
lol, might of been a good promotion 5 years ago mate.. Forex is a tough market to crack, your going to have to lay down some funds. money makes the world go around....
haha okay so I guess an Ipod might be considered small fry but I'm targeting site and list owners here whi wouldn't have to put a lot of effort into a promotion... Any market's relatively easy to penetrate as long as you offer a product / content that people want to read.
/me wants to win an ipod touch.. is it 40+ of sales? or sign up to your form in the website? if you're going to give an ipod, can i still have it if the 40 sign up will take up to 1yr?
Hey it's only an idea for now and from the sounds of it, I might have to forget about it because I was expecting forex affiliates to promote a free book for me with the chance to win an ipod if they get over X signups to my list. The thing is that I am looking for people with already established assets in this market - NOT affiliates who want to make a quick buck from PPC or whatever. I think I'm going to have to target affiliates and site owners seperately from now on.
