I launched a product three days ago, and still no affiliates! I set up nice commisions (70%) But still nothing. I even wrote a friendly and nice letter to them, and yet, zit, nada. no-one came. Do you have some tip's to a affiliate-less noob ? Here is the letter i wrote to the affiliates:getyourcyberprint.com/a.html
Step 1: Do your own promotion to prove that your idea is viable, and to prove that you did more than just think "Hey, all I need is a product and clickbank approval and I'm banking laaaarge" < No, you're not. I'm not saying this is 100% you but I fucking hate when new vendors launch a product and just expect affiliates to flock the moment you launch. Do some testing, make sure the thing converts for YOU, if/when it does, use the same techniques to teach new affiliates how you did it, make an ebook to give potential new affs. There's 1001 ways to recruit but I think you're putting the buggy in front of the horse. No testing, no stats, no conversions yet you hope to god people here spend their hard earned money and time to blindly promote your product just because you 'really really want' them to. Once you do your own promotion, and once you start seeing your OWN sales come in, you won't have to do much recruiting because affiliates will find YOU. Granted this is only if your product is indeed viable and you can convert it fast on your own. I think the affiliate-less noob jumped a few ladder rings, perhaps should have spent a bit more time being an affiliate understanding the game instead thinking becoming a vendor would make you rich right away. Sorry if this comes across asshole'ish, you hit my pet peeve, vendors that launch and use DP/forums as guinea pigs to test their shit.
100% agree with NC. I test all my products before releasing to potential affiliates. I have tested some for as long as a month. I have 2 products that I worked hard on that just didn't convert very well and guess what...I never released them. I don't want potential affiliates for all my products to waste time on a piece of sh*t. With that being said, even if you test and even if it converts that doesn't necessarily mean you will get affiliates. However, it will make it more likely and more importantly they will stay once you get them.
Your sales page sucks. Your copy, design, and your e-book cover... are you serious? I read your sales copy and still don't even know wtf your product is about. The top CB vendors spend tens of thousands on sales copy alone. They test vigorously to ensure affiliates are getting the best. You need to understand - as a vendor, you should do everything you can to appeal to affiliates. As you can clearly see, without affiliates your product is nothing. Tips: 1. Hire an AMAZING copywriter. Your sales copy is your top priority and will literally make or break your product's potential. 2. Hire a GOOD web designer that knows how to make great converting LPs 3. Hire a GOOD graphic artist, seriously - your banners are ridiculous. I made better back in 1998 when I was in middle school. 4. Invest in your own fuckin business. Buy traffic/pay good affiliates to test it out. All of the above is only the beginning to making a good money-earning CB product.
Totally agree with all above. If you aren't even confident enough to spend your money on promoting and testing to show them some numbers, then why would any affiliates want to join your program. And your copywriting is key. It is not as easy as people are led to believe, so don't believe all the hype, but do the work and spend the money to prove it and they will come....
I understood the point. I will make it look better. I had some kind of illusion that it looks good, but hell no, it sucks, and i 99% of the affiliates told me that. A noob allways got hes illusions, but it doesn't mean that the product is a total crap, or that he ment to offend the intelligence of DP members. Personally, I just wanted to get an honest opinion, and I got it. Thanks.
You seemed to have pissed off a lot of people posting this thread (judging by all of the swearing and negative tone from everyone's reply). I guess you learned the hard way that you just can't throw up some half-ass website and expect affiliates to jump on board so I won't talk about that aspect of business. But once you do make some changes to your landing page and your affiliate resources page you are still going to need to know what it takes to recruit affiliates. -Search in google for other websites that are in the same industry as your website. Once you have found suitable websites e-mail the owners of the site asking them to promote your product for you. Outline all of the benefits of promoting your product and customize each e-mail so they are tailored to that site specifically. -Do more forum posting. It's fairly obvious that you are new to the internet marketing game by looking at your digital point account. You just signed up this month and you are already looking for help from affiliates. Take time to contribute to this forum, do more reading and commenting on other threads. You reek of noobness! -Contact the owners of other vendors in clickbank asking them to promote your product for you. Good luck with your site redesign and hopefully after doing some research and taking everyone up on their advice you will hit this market with a bang!!!
ironic, you want to teach people how to look good online but yet have a page which doesnt reflect it. a lot of work needs to be done here, copy and graphics needs a major revamp. only then should you expect affiliates to jump on... nothing sooner than that.
