Here is my new clickbank release about a Runescape guide. The product is a 52 pages fully illustrated guide with step-by-step instructions. URL: http://www.ultimaterunescapeguide.com Affiliate Payout: 75% of $37 Affiliate Hop Link: http://YourCBName.runeguide.hop.clickbank.net Honestly i have no idea of how well this converts. This is the first product on clickbank about this game but i know this kind of guide sells as Runescape is a massively played game, almost 200,000 players on-line at all time. Review copies will be provided if necessary! I will update about the conversion rate when i get more information. Happy promoting!
As a former RuneScape player for 4 years, since 2005 and quitting at level 124 P2P/ 117 F2P I think I can critique this. First off, there isn't "ZERO competition"... there are many other "RuneScape guides" out there on the market. Secondly, Runescape being the worlds largest browser based MMORPG has a large community on forums such as Zybez or RuneHQ out there were most people will go for money making information. The thing is, there's over 1 Million players, but your target market is limited as most players some point during their scaping lives check out either Rune HQ or Zybez.net for information on quests/mini games etc and then doing so come across their very active communities before even thinking about buying a guide. Now, in terms of what the guide offers: - 200k an hour is nothing. I'd easily hit 1M+ an hour on average from GWD armadyl trio-ing or solo mage dagannoth kings. If the product is aimed at the lower level, more naive players even they can do more then 200k an hour doing things like double nature running and d'hide tanning both of which are methods listed all over the internet on sites like Rune HQ and Zybez. The only target who will really be compelled by 200k is an F2P member, and if they're playing free and won't pay $5 a month for the amazing extra features of be a member no way are they going to fork out $37 for your book. - "The most effective strategy Zezima herself used to become the greatest player of all Runescape history. Use it, you might be next!" - Zezima is male in real life. This is a common fact well known by many of the nerds who ambush him everyday as "fans". Plus Zezima has over 1,2 Billion xp. The average training rate 60k/ hr at the maximum if that, by my calculation it would take 20,000 hours of work hardly an "effective" strategy. Plus Zezima is famous because of the fact he was at the top of the highscores for over 3 years. - "How to double your gold every 15 mins using the Great Exchange." - This would be impossible as JaGex have put inplace a cap where you can only buy/sell a product every 4 hours through the grand exchange. For example, if I buy 1,000 green d'hide at 8 AM GMT I won't be able to sell them until 12 AM GMT. If I can't sell them for four hours how can I even expect to double my gold in 15 minutes? In terms of the sales page: It's alright I guess, fits the type of atmosphere and mood set by RuneScape quite well. The fon't isn't very appealing, but hey I'm one of those more Serif Sans kind of guys. Not trying to be an ass, but I really don't think your product is going to sell well considering I pointed 2 things your product claims to offer which couldn't possibly be achieved.
Thanks ed for the valuable feedback, However, i would like to point out that the target market is for the "average" player. if you look at the average player community, a very large percentage of the runescape population has under 1 mill in items in their bank. I wrote 200k per hour because saying that making 1 mill per hour is possible and easy to do would turn down noob players that wouldn't believe its possible and would feel like its being exagerated. secondly, I wrote that guide before the 4 hours update and wasn't aware of it. i will update the page in consequence. I also believe that those 2 small details will not turn down a player that has only been playing runescape for a few weeks. most player dont even know how they can use GE to make money anyway.... By no competition, i meant on affiliate networks. most other guides are not in affiliate programs and thus are very underground. I dont know what you meant by the font not being appealing, could you define this in greater details? Thanks!
I've played runescape for 2 years. I quit just after the Trade update which almost killed the gold farming business. Gold farmers now ask for your username / password & can't simply transfer the gold. I wasn't a fighter at runescape. But i remember i played all night sometimes upto 7 am in the morning to level my mining skills. After all i got 85 & started making money mining runescape ores. Soon i realised that there were players waiting to kill me. So i worked on increasing my magic level and so on.. It was a nice game until the anti-trade update. Yeah, I remember Zybez.net It is a complete source of information. As far as i know, $37 is a little expensive for runescapers. $29 may work better i guess. Good luck for this.
