Hello, my website is a real estate website and I want to use it to make money. I get on average 1800 visitors per day looking for preconstruction in Florida. I get direct traffic for search terms as they relate to Florida and new homes and preconstruction. I have been learning about ClickBank and want to get some professional opinions on how to take an existing site and use it to make money. I am NOT looking to convert the whole site over to affiliate but think that with some creative thinking I can make some extra money with interfering with the existing site. Site currently makes about $8-$10 per day with Adsense. What would you do? My Site www.rebateflorida.com Thanks for your replies.
Nice Site. A few quick ideas: Visit the CB marketplace and search for 'home building' 'mortgages' etc. directly related to your site. Choose a product(s) with a nice commission and at least some gravity, visit their affiliate page and utilize their assets on your site - good products will convert at 1-4% or more (every 100hops from your site to the merchant site). Another would be to diversify and along with CB products look for independant mortgage leads affiliate programs, you might be able to get quite a bit using this method actually, competitive but that's nice traffic (considering it's 1800 uniques?). Grab a copy of aWeber and keep in touch with your traffic (I don't want to explain the full power of aweber as it's all over the board and would recommend reading aweber.com, if you're not collecting data and monetizing it, you're crazy!). Set multi-follow ups getting them back to the site or specific offer, do a weekly newsletter and include your aff's/lead generation offers benefits/links within it. DEVELOP A PRODUCT! Even if it's just an ebook, and it's basic... if you brand it well and put together some good public domain info you can sell a $9 ebook and perhaps make 10-20 sales a day if you present it well. (just an example on numbers). Perhaps get in touch with potential advertisers and put together a media kit offering them a banner/text/newsletter or autoresponder inclusion ads etc. considering your market you could charge nice ad rates for a limited amount of advertisers (real estate agents, mortgage companies, etc.). Duplicate your site 2-3 times and interlink them with slightly different content/meta/titles etc. Best of luck! NC.
Some nice ideas...it's got my mind going. I guess I want to make sure that it does not interfere with the integrity of my business as a Realtor in the State of Florida.
i think you can also try a CPM company like the one in My SIG you have about 2000 uniques so that company will be good for you as it you get paid for imperessions not only for uniques and you get paid for all traffic not only for US traffic i think you should try it so you can make some extra bucks a day hope it helps Cheers Adel
You should be able to make a ton more than $1 cpm with 2000 uniques a day on a real estate site. I'd blindly guess you could make more like $50-70 a day
Consider to paste clickbank Mall links, clickbank search box and Clickbank Ads on your site. You can 'earn per sale' from all the clickbank products.
1800 uniques to a real estate site every day - thats a gold mine I think the best CB products for your site would be seized real estate products. you could even optimize your adsense and make more money that way.
this kind of traffic and only 10$ in adsense income? something is wrong with ad placement/merging. Ask ppl to review your site and give you some pointers.
