Journal of a newbie using clickbank and twitter

That sounds like a really interesting strategy. Good luck with that and waiting to read the results of your test. By the way, why don't you give us your twitter account so we can follow you?

 

Hello

yeah my twitter account is spidergod

cheers

 

ok a quick update

since yesterday starting this journal I have had 72 new followers

and 2 people stop following me

not sure if i am posting too many tweets

 

any advice on how many promotion tweets should be sent out per 24 hours per subject?

should i go from tweets every 3 hours to every 6 hours?

just a bit worried I am sending too many tweets

 

ok checked my clickbank stats

663 hops

and no tracking id's

even though these were setup on cbfeed

checked by vendor and some are at 92 hops, others are at 2

followers

before starting this experiment I had 101

I now have 182

 

curses, worked out why the tid was not working and all my fault

am going to sort it out now

 

have changed posting from 3 hours to 6 hours

 

does anyone know the reason why twitter hops do not convert that well?

ok update

have now got 204 followers

I am not going to touch it on monday at all.

 

update

no sales

271 followers

will update on thursday and saturday

 

I have attached a hop count from the 17th july until now

it looks as though wine,console and video are getting the most hops.

Not sure what to do now?

should I try and get more followers interested in those 3 subjects and then blast those 3 rss feeds onto twitter and reduce the others?

or leave the experiment running as is, until the 7 days are up and then change tactics?

any advice at this stage much appreciated.

 

ok another update

have changed wine from 3 posts per 6 hours to 4 posts to 6 hours

am going to try a new feed with phones as the keyword and blast that out 3 posts per 3 hours

and leave that running until saturday

 

well seems as though a bit of a disaster

looks as though the wine promotion will probably fail as only 5 active wine vendors and they are at quite low gravity.

so i am going to put wine down to 1 post every 12 hours

you never know something might happen with it

 

am going to really promote video and console

am tempted to go with forex as well

will decide soon

 

video have set to posting every 3 hours and 3 posts

same with console

 

Well, first of all good luck with that
I ran exactly the same experiment a while ago, but until I exceeded the 100k followers milestone I didn't get any sale. True, it doesn't have to go the same for everyone and you might hit a random sale even with those 100 something followers, but imagine that it is like you are talking to the same old 100 something people everyday, it is not like you run 100 UV daily, they are just the same. Hence posting your ad more then a couple of times becomes useless. IMO, if you wanna crack this one out, you either have to come up with some kick ass conversations that will make people follow you like a preacher, or get some tool to automate your work. Also, you should advertise your tw. nickname around, in case you didn't do it already.

 

Let me give some advice. I don't recommend promoting clickbank using twitter but if you insist, try to find a product that is less than $20. If not, just set up a sales page and use the $7 formula to sell it. Use twitter to drive traffic. Make sure your twitter is super targeted.

 

Nice journal bro, but what you are trying to do is going to be very hard unless you know what you are doing and got the skills. You should checkout some of the top ballers on twitter and try more of their approach to making sales on twitter.

Throwing CB links into a message isn't going to make many sales or any at all. At least from my experience.

good luck!

 

good luck spidergod, I just got some new ideas from your journal

 

thanks all for the advice

as this is an experiment and will finish on saturday I am going to leave it going for now.

getting approx 80 new followers a day

and people are clicking on the ads, as my hop count is still going up

no conversions yet though

 

i am also getting followers who are also trying to sell/promote stuff

some of them look as though they are doing exactly what i am doing, but they seem to send out 10 x the amount of tweets that i do
