I have come across a site called classifiedriches(dot)com I have never thought of this type of strategy for promoting digital clickbank products. Has anyone tried this and have you had any success?? Please let me know
I'm pretty sure it is quite possible, offline marketing can be just effective for internet marketing other then just marketing online (if that makes since.)
Online businesses is no more limited to online. One can promote via offline also. It will have major impact and penetration is more.
I have thought of the idea before and asked for quotes and on ads and did a bit of math on it but never implemented it (i would try it if i had the cash and a decent method already in place)
i don't think offline advertising for online products would work, you can think, people read the paper and remember the url, open the computer web browser and type the url address, it's possible if the product is really wonderful and very very attractive. thanks. Wallace
I'm living nowhere near the U.S (in Europe vtw) and I can see dozens of articles in the local newspapers that promote websites and online bussineses. I'm sure it work a lot better in the U.S. A great niche to promote via newspapers and off-line advertising is weight loss,internet marketing,skin issues,women issues,mens issues and dating. These would make money no matter how bad the global economy is at this moment. Unfortunatelly I have no one that can help me in off-line advertising in the U.S now.. hope I did.
Pretty much every ad offline has a .com extension and incentive nowadays. Next time you watch TV notice the ad spots, notice the news pushing you to their sites. Next time you open a newspaper, do check out the classifieds section and make a mental note of the .com ads and which sections they appear in most (I've done this here and it varies paper to paper but the number 1 niche in local newspapers is and I think always will be for adult related services. Offline works, and for a lowbudget adspend I don't see why you can't do low cost printing and flyer disitribution or place ads in papers/mags (here is something from a few years ago that I had affiliates push - some worked some didn't - http://www.getreadytopass.com/images/flyer2bw.jpg as part of the arsenol. Add your .com, print, copy at .01 a photocopy and you have a .005 piece of marketing to play with locally). Radio ads and even tv ads (for those that have bigger budgets - check out http://www.google.com/adwords/tvads/ ) can work wonders if you hit the right campaign at the right time (imagine a big multi-platform campaign on tv/web/radio/print going for water4gas during the 'crisis'...). Timing and risk management with media buys is no different with digital/online products than with any other marketing investment, there is no isolated 'will or won't work' for clickbank products. Getting a message with a call to action out there goes for everything from shelf products, to digital environments, to elections, to worldwide movements, use any platform available to you. N.
I once saw an ad for a clickbank product in entrepreneur magazine classifieds. It made me wonder if I should go back to old school marketing with classifieds but I haven't tried it yet. Mike
Offline advertising works great for MANY online niches.. I make a killing advertising my payday loan affiliate site on street corners with yard signs.. The key is a catchy, easy-to-remember domain. One street corner in Las Vegas brings me about 200 a day in commissions. Classifieds are a little harder cause people looking in classifieds are looking for a SPECIFIC item and are not inclined to do a impulse buy on a non-related item.
I buy small business entrepeneur type magazines at local retail stores and most of the full page ads are 100% internet businesses. One guy that stuck out to me was a full page ad for something called toodamnedeasy . com this guy claimed it was just too damned easy to make money online. I had to go and look at his site, and it basically said the same thing. Apparently if you paid him the 50 bucks or whatever it was he would show you just how damed easy it was to take your money! Ha, anyway I wondered how much that full page ad cost, he and others must be making sales off of the ads.....
TruthAboutAbs.com MIke Geary the owner has said that some times in his emails he sends out to his affiliates so it does work.
Sure, online classified ads can drive traffic too - it just depends on the amount of them that you place. However, most won't let you place direct affiliate links so you need to drive them to a landing page, site or blog.
a while ago I bought 1000 business cards for my blog on workout routines, I left them in my gym with the permision of the gym of course, this resulted in some nice traffic. I only sold a few ebooks but it paid for the cards about 10 times over, also made a nice bit on adsense clicks. it goes to show there are loads of different ways to promote online products sometimes you have to just try it out to see if things will work
