Advice on Marketing my New Product

6 replies
I've developed a social media course.
My results in using it on a test site were May 2016 400 unique visitors, 900 page views.
Started using the Social Media Chain June 4, 2016.
Results at 30 June were 13,800 unique visitors and 68,000 page views.
MY PROBLEM:
I can only sell around 50 of these courses because I back them up with personal phone/skype/Messenger help and assistance.
Then I got an idea.
Sell the course to OTHER SEO/SMM providers, so they can substitute themselves instead of me, and sell the course to their own clients.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS:
It's on a Wordpress website. Should I dupe it in a dedicated domain?
How can I sell it and deliver the purchaser the product. I don't want each purchaser to have to build a website/add it to his own website.
I've used a membership plugin to sell it on my own site.
But TBH my strength isn't in selling this type of product
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
John
PS: By November 2017 I'd tweaked it until the test website for 150,000 page views from 23,000 unique visitors.

    How do these unique visitors and page views get monetized? Kitties and lasers generate page views and uniques, so how do I use this course to make some moolah?

    Social Media does not make money.

    The reason is it is over saturated so any marketing is lost on saturated time lines.

    Look at the huge Celeb accounts with 50mil to 100mil followers, they tweet and unless major media picks it up, it gets very little engagement.

    So timelines produce nothing in real response ratios even for the biggest SM celebs.

    Klout is worthless, you can have klout and make a tweet for a major money term and be on top of twitter and guess what it gets no engagement since no one searches on Twitter.

    You can join all the FB groups you want and if you really track the responses, you see groups with 50K members that get not one click.

    The reason is all that stuff goes to timelines where it is saturated and no one sees it.

    Now if you think you have something people will buy, go sell it. Do a launch on jvzoo and when you sell nothing you realize the products they claim to sell are not real, look at the garbage over hyped landing pages that never convert in real life. They scream SCAM, yet the first 50 to 100 products listed as big sellers at jvzoo all look the same, how many have public whois info, they all look like the same wanna be guru created them.

    Then you start to hit reality when you get past the obvious scams, you see this <10 sold, that means NOTHING.

    So who is making money on jvzoo the promoters selling managing and coaching products and servers to gullible people that think that network is real.

    Go to FB and search jvzoo, what do you see a couple of minor 2K follower groups, now put in affiliate marketing and you see dozens with 20K to 50k members.

    Join an affiliate group on FB post a link to your system and sell it, and when you look at your server logs and see not one click from FB groups, you shake your head and say but the experts say this is how you do IM today.

    haha

    That's why they sell books and don't sell IM services to local and national companies, they're book sellers that cannot produce in real life.

    So find a company with real products and services and listen to them, do what they say and maybe you can make some coin doing what a real company says to do, in regards to marketing online their real life products and services.

    All the MMO stuff looks like what it is, con game material for newbies that think the author really knows something, 99.9% don't know anything, they sell fake stuff to people that think MMO is some easy road to riches.

    MMO has no shortcuts, it requires lots of tech skills and a good MMO person has a large local base of clients he helps locally with web design that converts, local maps, local ppc and even local seo.

    The do IM for a living and locally you can make 50K to 150K if you get out and network and have sales skills to match your tech skills.

    All this funnel cake bologna is that boloney in my opinion.

    My 2 cents.

    Simply, package what you have in a very well done website. You can clone it for multiple sales OR create a multisite and sale/rent subsites to your target market.

    Provide training (your experience in giving the course and advice) and you should be able to ask for a good amount of money for this type of model - frankly try both ways.

    I should have said you could try selling the course on Udemy. It is more tailored towards courses than Clickbank or Paydotcom.
