Ok, here are some of the ways I was able to generate clickbank sales by doing offline marketing. All I purchased were $10 domain names (3 of them to be exact): 1) I was a substitute teacher. I went to a different school each day. In the teacher's lounge, I left a flyer or a stack of informational flyers for the teachers. The info contained my domain (linked to cb products in the category of education). Products that teachers would like generated sales for me. Total earned from January to May using this method: $4500. Not bad. 2) Next, I purchased another domain name. Went to Kinko's Copy Center and spent a few bucks making a bumber sticker. Put one on my car and one on my husband's car. The domain name was for that product "run your car on water". Drove around with the bumber stickers for 3 months. After that, we got no more sales for some reason. Total sales made for this product: $1800. 3) Did a free blogging course at the local library. Created an email list to market to. Once I showed people how to make a blog and monetize it, the obvious next desire of my audience was "how to get visitors". I gave a lot of free, helpful information and also recommended a paid product that was within everyone's price range. Now I am planning free blogging courses throughout the summer at 3 different libraries. So far, I am the only one in my county doing this. Total sales made for this niche so far: $8500. I have been cutting back on volunteering my time since my recent surgery. But as soon as I am feeling better, I will be back in full swing. 4) Depending on the niche product you are looking to profit from, creating little informative flyers with your domain name and leaving them in the waiting areas of doctor's/veterinarian offices, beauty/barber shops and salons, nail salons, bus stations etc (with permission from the business owners of course) can get you lots of free traffic. If the traffic is going to your blog and it is decently monetized, you can make money from the traffic even if no one makes a purchase. 5) You will never go a day without meeting someone who would love to learn how to make extra income online. Just talking to people in general and letting them know about your ambition to help people who need extra income, can get people throwing their email addresses at you. I share my passion for internet marketing almost everywhere.. when I am getting my nails done, talking with other parents at the playground while my son is playing, beauty salon, supermarket etc. 6) Wear a t-shirt that says on the back, "If you are not making 4 figures per week or 5 figures per month, send your complaints to freeassistancenow@yahoo.com. Get a professional to help you for free and start getting the income you need now!!" or better yet, freeassistance@yourdomainname.com. This way, even if a person doesn't send an email inquiry, they might go straight to your domain name which might be your blog or your cb landing page or a landing page from another affiliate network. The sky is the limit. I have a friend who lives in New Jersey, she used this idea and was able to save herself from eviction from missing rent payments because she generated an email list and affiliate sales.
very usefull information thanks. btw if I may ask, do you still get sales using the sticker on your car?
Nice!.....Way to think outside the box. Those are some great ideas and that's some nice income as well. I can tell you really are passionate about internet marketing and helping others do the same. It looks like you may have a Full Time Coaching Career in the near future. I hope things continue to go well for you. Thanks for sharing!
Hi So how many sales did you make for this 'run your car on water' product. Was it successful? Thanks!
Nice list, some of these I have tried but not with much success (I live in a relatively low income country) should be good for those from the US and UK though. One tip that worked really well for me-put up fliers or notices in browsing centers/cafes etc. Specifically about relationships or internet marketing these two made decent sales for me.
