What make you succeed in affiliate marketing and which is working best for you when you are offering as an affiliate?
CPL or CPA? or what kind of offers? website themes, SEO, marketing services, ebooks...?
Any successful stories?
Hey There,
So I'll make this pretty quick, but when I start I create what I call a mini-funnel. I understand my end goal is to have everything completely optimized and automated that way I can just focus on ramping up the marketing and not have to deal with up keeping my customers (as fun as that may be
)
So my mini funnel looks something like this:
I create my lead magnet and build my squeeze page and create my email followup series (a series of 5 emails to lead up to a trip wire product to distinguish the buyers from the non-buyers)
Once I have my squeeze page with my free offer and I have the automated email series set in place I like to drive some traffic and have them go through the funnel and see what happens, I then adjust accordingly (remember this is only 5 emails) Basically what I try to do is get it to where I make a couple sales by tweaking some things and directing traffic.
Then I'll have a specialist help me out and go through and fully optimize the squeeze page along with the followup series.
Once I did that I'll keep marketing the site and make sure that every $1 I put in I get $2 back.
I'll then move down the sales funnel and start thinking about my "bigger offer" and then I'll do the same. I'll then segment the list to the people who bought the trip product and then and only send those who bought my offer for my Golden product (this is where most of the money comes from) then I optimize that side of the followup sequence with a CRO and then I'll create an upsell for the Golden product for those who want the supreme luxury and offer them a chance to get my platinum product for additional cost.
Most people just stop at the trip wire product and they wonder why they don't make a killing online. You need to have those bigger offers in there, don't just optimize the trip wire product sale then stop.
Hope this was helpful
