Without seeing much of what is actually going on the only reason I can think of for the 0% conversion rate would be the keywords you used in your campaigns.

You may also need to target your traffic and be more precise. Think about who would actually want to buy. Obviously it's a dating product so the ideal candidate would be a single male between 18-30 that would lean more towards the "geek" side.

A quick tip: try marketing to women. They are easier to sell to, especially online.

No offence to the women of the forum. It's just a fact of life

Or about a million other variables.

I already selled 12 copies of that product in my landing... (with about 1% conversion rate)

Keep doing that. Does 1% produce a return on your investment?

I'm not surprised at all.

I don't know whether what you're promoting is actually a "ClickBank product", but it sounds like a "ClickBank-type product", anyway? An informational ebook/course, or something similar? In which case I'd start here, paying particular attention to the third of the three points, because for most people that's the difference between "income" and "no sales": http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

You need your own landing-page (not necessarily a squeeze page: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post9319964 ) and you need to collect the email addresses of your visitors.

Here's the thing: to earn significant money from affiliate marketing, you need to do three things ...

(i) Keep your potential customers returning to the sales page (because not so many people buy anthing much at their first visit to a sales page, as mentioned above!);

(ii) Make increasing sales (ideally at progressively higher prices) to the same "captive audience" who regularly rely on and trust your recommendations;

(iii) Establish the credibility and trust necessary to do both the above by earning's people respect as a provider of niche-related information.

Without building lists, of course, you can't do any of the three and you'd just be throwing away almost all the traffic you ever generate that doesn't buy anything immediately.

You'd just be trying to fill the bath by opening the taps fully but without bothering to put the plug in the hole first. What kind of way to run a business would that be?

For most people, most of the time, it's just about as simple as that, overall.

These three threads are more informative ...

Is it a good idea to spend some time on building a mailing list ?

That makes it MORE important to have a landing page, not less important.

Nobody much buys any of those digital, informational products at their first visit to their sales pages, and if you don't have your own opt-in page before sending them there, their first visit to it will also be their last visit to it.

How are you going to make any sales, that way?

Don't imagine that the purpose of collecting the visitors' email addresses is just "to sell them other stuff later". You need them to make the first sale, too, for the "fast money".

That's not exactly true (about listbuilding only being necessary for the long-term). The big problem I see here is that the page has a long sales video, and it probably doesn't even have video controls, so that will result in many people closing the website out of impatience which then leads to poor conversion rates.

You can throw up a simple squeeze page and then redirect them immediately to the video. This way you can have their emails and follow up with them, instead of losing them completely when they decide not to watch that long sales video.

Hi halk;

I'm surprised that although the monthly searches are "very low" you sold 12 copies. If however your landing page made those conversions I would scale up more traffic to the landing page.

When I was using PPC to drive traffic, even if I got opt ins or sales I was not making any profit. The sales did not cover the cost of ads, I was losing money.

In the absence of having my own list, solo ads gave me higher conversion rates and profit.

However, the important factor was I began using a sales funnel which offered a free product in exchange for the visitor's email address, a relevant low priced product and other relevant products at higher prices.

By the time the visitor got through the sales funnel I had an email address to start building my own list in order to do follow up emails; and one or more sales which covered the cost of my ads and generated profit.

LB.

Thanks

Your information's as accurate as ever, Ron: the forum does have an ignore feature. I'm about to add you to my list, maybe you should do the same for me, if you object to my posts so much?

If you'd seen that user's former "posts", you'd understand why I spoke as I did.

He's one of the people whose fatuous nonsense is destroying this forum and driving most of the longstanding members away. (That's why the forum's traffic is at an all-time low.)

And you'd be wondering why on Earth the forum's management doesn't kick him out, or at least try to change his behavior, as they rightly would have done at any time in the past, before the change of ownership.

And if you were aware of this situation, you'd understand some of my anger about these situations, too.

However, you were quite right that my tone was aggressive.

To use the "ignore feature": click on "User CP" (top left), then on "Edit Options" and then scroll down to the section headed "Settings & Options" and click on "Edit Ignore List". And don't say that I never tell you anything helpful.

Why didn't targeted cold traffic buy from a proven sales page?

The short answer is that there just isn't a reason why targeted cold traffic would buy that kind of product from a first visit to a sales page. In a little more detail, a major component of "what makes people buy" is (a) multiple exposure to the sales page (which can effectively be brought about only by list-building) and (b) the pre-selling (the extent of the trust-based relationship between the prospective customer and the person doing the recommending of the product). What determines "which traffic buys", when they hit the sales page, is mostly about what's happened with them before they click on it. Which is why direct-linking, basically, "doesn't work".

For ClickBank products, more here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

For Amazon products, more here (very good, long thread: worth a careful read): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6608638

But it's basically all the same thing, really: affiliate marketing is affiliate marketing. It's a relationship-building business based on email marketing.

The people who are pretending otherwise aren't making their livings through affiliate marketing at all: they making their livings (if at all) by selling "nonsense-guidebooks" and "nonsense-coaching-services" to complete beginners. That's easy money for them, and it's typically the only way they can earn anything worth talking about.

Ron,
Not sure why you are being so aggressive towards a another long standing member concerning a Post that was not even directed at you.

As Lexy said there is ongoing history behind her comment towards this Member. And which you evidently do not know about.

You are trying to surmise a situation which you do not understand the Context of it.

There's always the report button.
If enough people reported the junk instead of answering it,
a lot of it might just vanish.
There's someone that answers just about every thread, everyday,
with mindless one liners.
My guess is there's only one person reporting it, so it carries on.

True; true. Well, you're right, of course. And Alaister kindly reduced the reports flood interval to 10 seconds, late last night, to make it easier to report stuff, so I feel obliged to start again, anyway, really.

I started "answering it" the same 3 days ago because I was so frustrated at not reporting it.

Get a high converting Landing Page built for you first. Send traffic to the page and collect your visitor's contact details. Market the same product to them later, over and over again and you will definitely see conversions spike up.

If you need high converting Squeeze Page service, just PM me.

High converting landing pages + cold targeted keyword traffic does not equal sales. '

I've tried this the last few days. I copied the entire HTML sales page of one of the best converting Click Bank products and sent 600 people there using google display network for 72 bucks. linked directly to the cart instead of using a hop link so I could just use their sales page. They keywords were definitely targeted to the niche.

I got 0 sales. There has to be some sort of opt in or warm up process in order to sale. No matter how great the landing page is.

Is the google display network showing ads on sites monetized using Adsense? I thought that Google didn't allow people to promote Clickbank products directly in that way straight to a sales page.

You can make sales by direct linking because I did it a few months ago selling digital products, but the conversion rate isn't good.

Here is what I did.

There is a way to create a link that goes directly to the cart in click bank.

cart link

I then went and found one of the highest converting products on click bank.

I opened their landing page right clicked and selected view source. I copied the code into dreamweaver which gave me their exact sales page. I then went through and replaced all of the download links with my cart link so I had a complete mirror of their sales page, but with my own sales link.

I uploaded this webpage to my own domain.

I then sent the display network traffic directly to the sales page. I spent 5 hours combing through a list of 3000 keywords that were targeted to the niche. Created banners that give me .2% ctr consistently and sent 600 people to the sales page at $.13 a click in a day.

0 Sales.

No. It's not just about the quality of the vendors' sales pages.

It's primarily for all the reasons explained in post #7 above (and throughout the five other threads linked to in that post, where large numbers of successful affiliates explain them all). Respectfully, it's going to be of very limited value to you, to repeat the question again, when the answers have all been provided by so many people making their living this way, but you haven't yet read them.

Yes, it's "first month free", and then $15 per month. I suggest you start the "free month" only on the day that you actually need it, so as not to waste any of it. Get everything else ready first?

For myself, I don't give them the first affiliate link until the third email. But there are no "right answers" to this. It's just whatever seems to work for you. And I know there are people here who do put an affiliate link in the first or second email.

In the first email, I give them the download-link to the "free report" I offered them in exchange for their email addresses, and just some introductory stuff to try to brand myself a bit, and build up my credibility and encourage them to trust me. And in the second email, just "niche information" (like an article, really). And then a promotion in the third message.

Originally Posted by halk

Again, there's no "right answer"! I send email on days 1, 3, 6, 10, 15 and therafter at 5-day intervals, and I include a product-recommendation (with my affiliate link) in the second part of one email out of every three.

If I send email more often than that, or if I promote stuff more often than that, I actually earn less money, overall. So I do it more slowly. But it doesn't necessarily follow that that will also be true for you! Those 6 threads above discuss everything like this.

I think the single most important ingredient in the recipe is that the "free report" you give people, in exchange for their email address, needs to do all these things. If you get off to a good start, with that, you're more likely to do well.

There's loads more information in the Email Marketing Forum, too.

You want to create something that is useful to your subscribers but does not undermine sales of the product.

For example, if the product was a weight loss eating plan, you would not make a weight loss meal plan your "freebie". But if the paid product was an exercise plan then a simple meal plan might be a good freebie.

A good freebie for weight loss is a short tips type report like: "10 secret weight loss tips that do not need exercise" or "10 super foods in every diet that help shed pounds"

Something that is easy to provide value and easy to cross promote your paid offer with.

You want a freebie that:
- Provides value of some kind (10 good tips almost always does this)
- Helps build a relationship and trust with your list (personalize the tips and use each as an opportunity to motivate and engage)
- Makes it easy to introduce paid solutions/offers (Some tips should naturally lead to a paid product to help/enhance the solution)

Edit: Just a thought. If sending a bunch of paid traffic straight to salespage worked then why would the vendor need affiliates??

Thanks for your answer friend!

My paid traffic not worked, i used direct linking..

I'm selling on my landing page with Google SEO, but i have very low traffic because my post still on page #2.

About how to create one report, i'll try that what you said!

Thanks friend!!

A good freebie for weight loss is a short tips type report like: "10 secret weight loss tips that do not need exercise" or "10 super foods in every diet that help shed pounds"

Something that is easy to provide value and easy to cross promote your paid offer with.

You want a freebie that:
- Provides value of some kind (10 good tips almost always does this)
- Helps build a relationship and trust with your list (personalize the tips and use each as an opportunity to motivate and engage)
- Makes it easy to introduce paid solutions/offers (Some tips should naturally lead to a paid product to help/enhance the solution)

Edit: Just a thought. If sending a bunch of paid traffic straight to salespage worked then why would the vendor need affiliates??

Thanks

It costs me a lot of money (I used to do it, but have tested it a lot, and stopped, like so many people who have tested it for themselves.)

I suspect there's quite a bit of misguided thinking about, on this subject.

It's worth bearing in mind that it's possible to make the occasional quick sale that way and still lose a lot of money overall.

Here's the key concept: the few people who will buy anything, that way, are all people who would have bought it in a week's time anyway, after receiving some email from you, so there's no real gain. But many other people, who would otherwise have bought it a week or two later, will be alienated by it, because of course it makes you look like "just another marketer", so if I did that, I'd expect a much lower open-rate for my emails than I actually get.

Right after the opt-in, I promote nothing. For me, it would be a big mistake to do that. As people who have split-tested it themselves tend to have discovered (and we tend to be the ones who quickly abandon the idea, once we've thoroughly tested it for ourselves. )

For myself, I use the thank you page to give clear instructions, both in words and in pictures, on what subscribers (two groups: "gmail users" and "others") need to do, themselves, in order to be sure of receiving my emails in their in-boxes. Without doing this, my open-rates are significantly lower - and I certainly don't want anything else distracting from that, because it's what the bulk of my future income depends on, and long-term future income is the whole point of building the list in the first place?

Always do a capture page. You will lose leads by direct linking. BUT...I do know a guy making 300k a month from direct linking to CPA offers so I guess its doable.

pick one of the benefites mentioned by the niche vendor, then google search 4-5 articles on that one benefit. Copy all of the articles over into a word document, then reword them, organize them, and a personal opinion to it. Turn it into a pdf document. Then you will have a unique free report that other people haven't already seen. It could be a simple 1 page report.

How about the conversion rate about getting visitors/subscribers using PPC like Bing Ads?

If you create a landing page it is always going to work better than direct linking. The only reason direct linking is used is the save time and money, though it may not work as well as a landing page. A landing page can be tested and tweaked according to results and can perform even better.
