Yes it is highly possible. Be careful with squidoo though, it seems affiliates are very liked at these type of sites.

Thanks

What do you mean by "affiliates are very liked"?

You can't "close" a high end sale with articles. Use articles to drive traffic to your niche site (not squidoo or blogger - this is a big turnoff for prospects besides dozens of other negatives) to begin the sales sequence. Especially for promoting high end products, ideally you should be building a list using this method.

For some niches anything over 99 cents.

  What you just said is contradictory to what you've said before. Are you saying that it isn't possible to make a sale with articles at all?

  People seldom buy solely through articles. It is apparent that selling 99 cent digital products are out of your league.

  @ ZealZeal
  
  My point is, you're going to fall flat on your face trying sell anything through articles without having an effective sales funnel process in place. As mentioned, squidoo, blogger and such amateurish platforms are turnoffs for sales prospects aside from other overwhelming negatives.
  
  Reread and heed posts 5, 10, 12, 13, 17.

How can it possibly be better to send your traffic to a page on a site you don't own yourself rather than on one you do?!

I don't have a site targeting this niche. Plus, aren't there so many people doing like this?

  It's not a huge job to fix that, surely?

  I honestly don't think there are, no. Not trying to sell high-ticket products with articles, and using other people's sites as a landing page. My own guess would be that anyone who's tried has abandoned it through lack of income.
  
  It's really not a good idea to use other people's sites as your landing page. You need to be in control of your own business, and not subject to the changeable terms of service (and idiosyncratic and inconsistent interpretations of them) elsewhere.
  
  Post #5 above tells you what you need to know, here. Listen to Paul (myob): he sells huge numbers of high-ticket products.
  
  Thanks

Selling high ticket items on Squidoo or a free Blogger site is, in my humblest opinion, the same as taking Donald Trump to lunch at McDonald's and expecting him to give you a lot of money.

Why not wait until you have the 20 dollars to spring for a domain name and hosting?
And actually, in some cases, getting a site started can be as low as 3 bucks--I don't understand why people don't just buy a domain.

Anyone?

I used to run a site to sell power racks. Now they aren't super high ticket items, but they run around $300-800, so you can make a nice commission on them.

Never did it with just articles though.

My suggestion is to create a simple wordpress page and send the traffic there. It's much more easier to do.

  Consider what AlexaSmith was telling you earlier- you don't want to be subject to the changing rules of another business.
  
  Go with self-hosting, get your own domain and sell products through that site.
  
  Thanks

It certainly did ... I've seen some big traffic improvements in a wide variety of niches.

In fact, many professional article marketers here have been saying for a couple of months how much better off we are post-Panda than we were pre-Panda.

"Article directory marketers" rather the opposite, I gather. But clearing so many of those directory copies of articles off the top of Google's SERP's has certainly made it a lot easier for many of us to attract clicks directly to the original copies of articles on our own sites, which is obviously a huge plus.

You will get a lot more traffic by taking the articles you're planning to write and putting them on your own site. That's pretty much the end of the argument. Always build your own site content before you add any articles to directories.

Hi Zeal,

What kind of high ticket program is it. Is is it a physical product or an info product?

What is the price range? The moment you are over $1000 you will need more than articles to sell this.

If you look at the majority of big launches and big ticket Items, you will notice that people buy more out of wanting to emulate or duplicate the results they see in the person selling them the product.

In other words, your potential clients will need to know who you are, and exactly how you can help them make money. If not, you will be spinning your wheels, and you will bleed money trying to sell your product.

My advice would be to get your face or your voice out there in some way shape or form.

Willie Crawford who is well respected warrior and a veteran Internet marketer, who also sells plenty of high ticket items, said that in order to be taken seriously, you need to position yourself as an authority/expert.

You should be doing webinars where people can hear your voice or see you in action.

Here is the thing....

People need to know who you are, and they also need to know that YOU have the competencies and skills needed to help them be successful. They must know, like and trust you!

Hope that helps!

Richard
