I’ve now made at least one sale of my diet program for 11 days in a row.

The bad news? A lot of those days it’s only been one sale and no more.

The good news? I’m not really getting that much traffic to my salesletter. Well OK, that’s actually bad news too - I need to get more traffic. But it’s good news in that my conversion rate is actually pretty decent now. Most of those days I’ve only had around 100 unique visitors to my salesletter.

I’m now working on improving the salesletter and creating keyword targeted landing pages/salesletter combinations for affiliates to use. Click Here for landing page variations.

I’ve been using BANS (”Build A Niche Store”) along with EBay for quite some time. This month me and my fiancee have made a combined $340 in profit with BANS + EBay. Not a huge amount of money, no. But I also spend almost no time (and no money) promoting them. I definitely can see the potential if someone made enough BANS stores and created enough unique content on the sites that they could be a substantial income stream.

I’m very excited to present: THIS.

What is it? A new alternate landing page that affiliates of my diet program (Earn $31 Per Sale!) can use. Basically it’s a “pre-sell” landing page for affiliates who don’t want to go to the trouble (or don’t know how) to create their own. I’m hopeful that this will be a very attractive feature for affiliates.

It’s also just the beginning of what I want to do with it. I want to create many laser targeted landing pages based on lucrative keywords. I’m even considering creating TWO layers of pre-selling based on a specific keyword phrase before finally having them sent to my main salesletter. For example I could create a page about “losing belly fat” on the pre-sell landing page and then that could link to a page about “losing belly fat” on the actual website itself which could then link to the main page. I’m not sure if that’s introducing too many steps or not but I think it would be effective. Worth testing anyway.

And then to really take it to the next level I want to have banners created that focus on specific keyword phrases.

I feel like with all of these tools that my affiliates will be able to have a lot of success - especially with combined with the sales letter improvements I’m working on now.

Today is my birthday. And some lovely person just bought my CB product. Which means I’ve now made a sale 7 days in a row with it! Celebration Time?! You can help me celebrate my birthday by sending some traffic to my site. I recommend doing some “bum marketing” for it but I’m having some success with the AdWords content network too. I still have very big plans for improving the sales-letter. Our conversions will greatly improve over the next couple of months. Get in now and you’ll be ahead of the game. EARN $31 PER SALE!

Things seem to be coming together with my Clickbank product. (You can promote it & earn $31 per sale!)

I just made a sale today which means I’ve now made at least one sale 6 days in a row. Now obviously that’s not close to where I want to be with it. But it is a start. It’s a nice confidence booster and it seems to have coincided with the beginning of the site improvements (which are far from being complete) so that makes me excited that I can indeed greatly improve conversions by improving the salesletter (of course!)

On a mostly unrelated note - I’m doing very well as Clickbank affiliate lately. I’m not sure how much of that has to do with the Bookmark Generation thing I’ve been using, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that my sales have gone up since I started using it.

I sent out a “broadcast” email today to my GetResponse mailing list and made my first sale through my mailing list. Pretty cool!

I’m working now on getting the opt-in form added back to the website and hopefully getting a higher % of people to sign up as I’m now seeing a glimpse of what a powerful tool it could be for improving conversions.

Doing the whole mailing list thing is something I have resisted for a long time, probably will be another thing where I’m like - “Damn! I should have started doing that sooner!”

I’m experimenting with a lower price (down to $37.67) today. So far we’ve had 2 sales with only about 130 uniques so … We’ll see. Unfortunately it’s hard to know what’s causing sales because of the huge amount of changes I’m making to the sales letter right now in addition to the lower price. I’m much happier with the look of the sales letter now and… it’s really just the beginning of what we’re going to do with it. I’m still set on adding a video spokes model as well. I have a whole list of “to do” … And a lot of different possibilities as far as which way to go with it. I’m considering having the sales letter be 3 short pages that they click through instead of one long page. I have mixed feelings about it… I know that FL4I does something similar with success - but I also know they are the exception to the rule as far as successful salesletters.

But I think it’s important to consider that different markets may respond to different sorts of marketing. Maybe the long sales letters are best for some things but breaking it up page to page is better for the diet market?

I’m seriously considering getting a video spokes model like  the ones at Live Face On Web for my salesletter. I’ve seen some of the top Clickbank sites are using them and I have a feeling that if we can get the right script written for the model to say, that it could be very effective in the diet niche.

Any yays or nays? It’s a decent little investment as far as money (and time spent writing the script etc) … but obviously if it can significantly improve conversions (10% or more) then it’d be worth it. I’m hoping for as much as a 50% increase - but that may be a bit of a reach, eh?

Ah yes! The gravity of my diet product has climbed over 6… 6.01 to be exact.

My current goal is to have it up to 20 by September 1.

Earn $31 for each referral you make!

We’re also now the 28th ranked diet product in Clickbank… Top 10 here we come!

Below you’ll find my overall stats of my Clickbank earnings from July 7 through July 9. I won’t say what products I promote other than my own diet affiliate product (of course) which is on the receiving end of the majority of my marketing efforts now. I believe in earning money as my own affiliate so I can learn what works in promoting it and then help other affiliates also earn money with my product.

So far I’ve found that writing articles and running banner ads on the Google content network are two good ways of getting traffic to my pre-sell landing pages (I almost never link directly to my salesletter, I believe in always pre-selling for better conversions.)
