I'd like to note if you're new to clickbank or article marketing that you should steer clear of this. I'm trying out something new. Now obviously I pound out a lot of articles in the first place and that allows me to figure out what works and what doesn't work a hell of a lot faster. And I thought, why not do this for affiliates. Plus, there is an added bonus. I get to make 20+ different landing/sales pages. Personally, when I make them, I never know if they're good at selling or bad. I get to learn two things from this process. All of them get article marketed too on a daily(or every other day) way. It's interesting, I'm learning that a certain style of sales page is producing a much higher sales rate than others. Plus, out of 20 of them, I've received sales from 7 of them. So if you're willing to give that "challenge" a try, you can learn a lot about how to makes a sales page that works and which affiliates are actually generating sales. Oh and you make money lol. Can't forget that one.
I asked this in another forum but since you such an active affiliate would like to ask you: I have a subscription website and am thinking of listing it on clickbank to attract affiliates, but have one worry. I've run my site for 8 years and in the first year or two just directed ppc traffic to a sales page that didn't have an opt-in box. I didn't know what I was doing and conversions were really low. Like 0.25% - 0.50%. I then directed that traffic to an opt-in page and built an email list and have a good relationship with it. I get conversions from new people on that list from 4-10% depending on seasonality. So it has made a huge difference for my business. I'd like to list my site on clickbank, but when I look at the clickbank marketplace I notice that most of the product links go to sales pages, only a few direct people to squeeze pages. I posted about this on one clickbank forum and was told that affiliates "hate" squeeze pages, because they are afraid people who are using lists are going to steal their leads or cheat them. To me this seems a bit irrational. Obviously some of the biggest marketers direct affiliates to squeeze pages. Look at doubleyourdating for example. But if the vast majority of affiliates on clickbank hate squeeze pages then maybe it is a waste of time to try to use clickbank. On a sidenote it seems to me that affialites that direct people to sales pages without opt-in boxes would get very low conversion rates. It makes me think that very few people are mkaing real money as clickbank affiliates. Is this really a big problem or was it just a few people that don't matter in the big picture telling me this? Thanks for your feedback.
I've seen those style of pages. Personally, I don't care. As long as I'm getting commission for my work. If it is "seasonal" or something along those lines, I'm not going to waste my time.
How do you do most of your marketing? Do you have your own list or use ppc or something else? I'm thinking maybe the ones that care the most are ones that have built their lists and there are others who use ppc or other tactics and therefore don't care at all? Wonder how many affiliates use lists or ppc?
The affiliates that hate squeeze pages are the affiliates that don't know what they're talking about anyway. Squeeze pages are the best thing ever, because the merchant gets to do all the work converting them with follow up emails, and they still have your cookie.
He said it was seasonal. It might not convert for months after the cookie expires. I think he should use it with a sales page that tries to sell. Email marketing will be done soon enough, so he might as well get the last bit of profit out of it.
Hmm, interesting I am doing a 20 blog challenge from my daily blog in my signature, right now I am keeping it to 5 blogs when those are complete I will be moving on to the next 5 and so on till the 20 are complete. I have 5 complete and making articles for them as well as blog posts and directories, social bookmarking, squidoo, hubpages.. so when finished with these 5 I will move on till I am done my 20 blog challenge. I would really love to hear how your doing and how much your making from your blogs per/day.... maybe how your getting traffic as well if you could share a bit more with your 20 blog challenge I would really appreciate that. Thanks Bunch
It's not a blog challenge. I make sales pages. html files. I put them in my site's directory. I write an article per day for them. Pretty simple.
Lemonarian. Do a little homework.Sadly 80 % of the time the publisher does NOT keep the cookie and takes all the profit. So you have to be careful when promoting products with a squeeze page. What you can do it sign up for the newslater under your affiliate link and see if the cookie is there. Yea, i no it sucks how they try to take from us
I know its not a blog challenge but it's similar to what I am doing. after I am done my 20 blog challenge I may move on to doing what you are doing too.
It really isn't a challenge to make money. Well, I suppose it is over the long run. It's to find some products to sell that are actually selling. Cause there are a lot of things I've tried to sell where no one buys. The second thing is to teach me how to make my own sales page. See what sort of design sells better than others. I'm starting to pick up patterns of what works and what doesn't.
Really? Well in that case the merchant don't know what the fuck he's doing. His affiliates are the lifeblood of his business, and stealing isn't really cool in my book. Fortunately I only promote stuff with a 40+ gravity so that means affiliates are selling too, even if it's a squeeze page.
