Salespage Articles? Meditation & Binaural Beats Niche

by KelvinN
4 replies
A website dedicated to giving high quality content to a certain niche, and to develop trust within the community.

I would be creating a simple-ish site, probably about meditation and similar niches, with a blog aspect, and a forum aspect. A blog that offers high quality content and information about meditation, free ebooks, videos, and all sorts of content that people would enjoy.

What I also would be doing is creating salespage articles that promote my affiliate links. A simple but detailed article about the affiliate product niche which leads to the solution; the affiliate link.

For example, I found this site on ClickBank to promote that sells binaural beats and isochronic tones MP3's such as lucid dreaming, astral projection, stress relief, incrased energy, sleep improver, become psychic, out of body experience, deep meditation, alpha meditation, OM meditation, Endorphin release, etc..

I know isochronic beats, meditation, and those kind of things are somewhat a popular niche.

Anyways, what I'd do is make an article for something like meditation and give detailed information about meditation and then suggest a deep meditation binaural beat file that could help people meditate, or people who are having troubles meditating, etc. and put all of these articles into the blog page, but also include lots of free content that people will benefit from to gain trustworthy in the community. The forum would be for other people to discuss to each other, and to attract even more to join the community and stay.

How does this site sound to you guys?

    Meditation and "similar niches" is too much, IMHO.

    The income is all about targeting and precision.

    Meditation is a huge market, not a niche (in fact it includes many niches, just in itself). Meditation and "similar niches" would be far too broad, for me.

    Sales pages and articles are two completely different things.

    Affiliates don't need (and shouldn't try to have) "sales pages". Affiliates don't sell. We pre-sell. This is something very different, and it doesn't need sales pages. Sales pages would probably be counterproductive and lose you money, overall.

    I hear you. And you can, of course do that. But be aware that isn't, typically, what makes the sales.

    The emails, not the website, are what make the sales.

    The purpose of the website should be to collect the email addresses. Of course that isn't a reason for not having all that other stuff, too, to look authoritative and interesting and credible and plausible, to attract traffic, to refer people back to, and so and so forth. I do all of that, too. It all helps. But be clear at the outset that the visitors who click on those links and actually buy the product are almost all people who have been sent back to those links by something in an email, because they're your subscribers and they trust you, not just "because they're website visitors".

    Yes, indeed. (I think know the one you mean. I don't promote it, myself.)

    "Those kinds of things" are different niches, Kelvin.

    Mentioning "astral projection" to people in the market for "binaural beat meditation" may cost a lot of sales. They're different niches. They're different people. I'm a customer, myself, for "binaural beat meditation" (and have bought plenty), but certainly not from/through anyone also advertising "astral projection"!

    Very interesting indeed. But very confused, too! (Sorry! ).

    I really think it will help you to start off with very clear perceptions of exactly where the money comes from, and how, and why, and who the customers are, and what they want, and what makes them buy, if you plan to make any significant affiliate income from ClickBank, Kelvin.

    There are countless threads here that can help you with all that. Here's a "starting-point" that covers the three most basic essentials (at least one of which you apparently haven't yet taken into account at all): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

      Yeah I know exactly what you mean from a marketing perspective. I believe these niches are all similar in a way because people who share some of these interests, generally have interest in a lot more relevant niches. Meditation, astral projection, lucid dreaming, brainwave entrainment, all that good stuff is the type of things people are starting to develop an interest with. I think targeting some of the main ones and creating a big helpful community of like-minded people would be awesome!

      I'm very new to internet marketing and have heard lots about email marketing for a long time. I never really got far with internet marketing in general, but I'm very serious about it now and I'm definitely going to start building an email list for this site, thanks!

      I agree with the articles and salespage thing, it was just an idea I came up with on the spot and thought I'd ask this community if it was a good idea, I guess not, so instead I'll probably be creating basic squeeze page/landing pages for my affiliate links, and occasionally throw some affiliate links out there on the side of my community sites or in articles/forum posts. All I know is that I definitely want to keep close with my community, and make sure they don't leave

        Yes, I agree. But from the affiliate perspective, the people who try to sell all of it probably aren't going to sell any of it, and there are reasons for that.

        Potentially awesome, I agree. But very difficult to monetize, compared with many far simpler alternatives.

        Also: you say "like-minded" but some people interested in binaural beat meditation are poles apart from people interested in "astral projection" and wouldn't want to share even a forum with them.

        It's like trying to combine astronomy with astrology. One's ultra-scientific and the other's alternative mumbo-jumbo that will just offend and alienate many of the people interested in the first.

        You can see this, perhaps, if you think about who the people are?

        You need to think about "who the people are" to earn money from encouraging them to buy things.

        I understand. I'm not trying to criticise, at all.

        I'm trying to avoid your coming up with a very interesting but very complicated and far-fetched plan with little-to-no prospect of successful monetization, given your experience-level.

        The principle is an excellent one.

        (And a forum can help with that, but it's a hell of thing to try to do for your first niche!).

        The main way to "make sure they don't leave" is just to collect as many of their email addresses as possible. And to set out appreciating clearly that that's the primary purpose of your website, and that ClickBank affiliate marketing is an email marketing business.

    It sound interesting, but you should consider to put online many youtube videos also, and think to an app with your sound inside. The website must me ready for mobile and allows to the people to hear your music without any effort.

    The most of the people that use this product lie on the bed to do it, not in front of the computer.
