Affiliate Marketing For PPC Company?
(Troy McClure voice)
Hey Warrior Forum people! You may remember me from such threads as "I suck at making money online". I wrote some erotica books that sold for ~$1000 a month. Nothing too spectacular.
Anyway, long story short, a friend of mine started a PPC management company about a year ago and I am now working with him. We manage Google Adwords accounts for small businesses. We get most of our leads from Adwords, which as you can imagine gets quite expensive. That being said, we both have a sales background and do a decent job of closing them over the phone as opposed to having them just sign up and pay without ever speaking to us.
We charge $499 per month for management, $299 (one time) set up fee and (one time) $899 for a PPC landing page (if they need one). Obviously not everyone is willing to pay that much, but it gives us a lot of room for negotiation which helps when you are dealing with people over the phone.
On average I would say we spend at least 40 minutes on the phone with a prospect figuring out their business, talking to them and getting an idea on how to do their campaign. We are American, professional and do everything in house.
Our problem is that leads are expensive and we need more of them. We can close the deal once we have them on the phone and get the work done, the problem is just getting ahold of these people in a "warm" way. We don't want to call people out of the phone book, we want them to have at least some level of interest in what we do just because we've found that works better.
I had the idea of affiliate marketing. Not sure if it would work, but my first thought was to pop over here and get some feedback from you guys on it.
Ideally, we'd like some kind of arrangement where you guys get us the leads or calls, or traffic to the site or whatever and we close them. Then we agree on a split to make it worthwhile for both parties. If you have a better idea I'm all ears.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the site, but feel free to check us out at BlueOceanPPC.com android- A new kind of PPC management firm. Pay Per Click Specialists. if you're curious.
EDIT: not sure why the link is showing up that way. Weird!
Thanks and feel free to leave a reply or get in touch if you want to have a chat!
