Creating Your Own Salespage For An Affiliate Product

by JamesPenn
10 replies
Hi Warriors

I am currently passively promoting a product from my health blog and I'm sending 60-80 clicks per day and rising.

It costs $80 and the salespage converts at just under 0.5% on cold traffic, and 3% after reading my review.

I know I could get it up to 2% on cold and 5% on pre-sold traffic if I created my own graphics and edited the salespage a bit.

Is there a way I can create my own salespage with my own graphics, host it on my own website, but have a payment button that has payment sent to the vendor, but for me to get my own commission?

The product uses Paydotcom as the affiliate program.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
James

    I can't say about Paydotcom, but some Clickbank merchants provide direct links to their checkout page or alternate landing pages, some deeper into their sales funnel.

    Some merchants would want to approve your sales page version.

    If you think you have the skills then use them. The point of you as a affiliate is to pre-sale the offer. If you do a good job on that then they will look past the bad graphics or comp on the offer page.

    Go and make your copy with graphics and split test. Remember you are a affiliate not a vender.

    James,

    There is a wordpress theme that will allow you do it called List Machine Pro. It has a lot of features to do that type of thing. It will also allow you use webinars and videos of other people and products to help build your list.

    It is pretty expensive at around $1000 US, but it will do exactly what you want.

    You can search for List Machine Pro or I can get you an afilliate link.

    Just a thought here:

    Could you contact the merchant and offer (for a fee, of course) to improve his sales page? Then he could test both and, if yours really is better, he could change to it, or offer both versions to affiliates.

      Jason Fladlien has a product called (from memory) Easy Redirect Script that allow you to do this.

      I think it is $47 or $97 (much cheaper than $1000).


      Contact the owner and say that you want to split test their ad with the traffic you are producing. Most will be agreeable and will give you a deeper link.

        Hi James, check PayDotCom's rules/procedures very carefully, too ... especially regarding cookies. (At ClickBank, for example, it is possible to do this, with the vendor's consent, and many affiliates do it without realising that they're not routinely setting their affiliate cookie on their prospective customers' PC's, if they do it this way, so they're being paid only on the "immediates" and not on the "returns" ). "Just saying!"

          Well, if you feel you can do it, why not create a good leadcapture page yourself and on the thank you page, you put your affiliate product, that way, you kill two birds with one stone, build leads list and make sales?

    Thanks guys (and girls!) for your help.

    I think the best thing for me to do is...

    1. Contact the vendor and see if they would be okay with me creating my own salespage

    2. Ask them if they can put my salespage on their website and set it up as a new product and make it private so that only invited affiliates (me) can promote that page. (I assume you can do this in Paydotcom)

    3. Promote that page instead of the main salespage using my affiliate link.

    My next question is...

    Supposing my salespage with my graphics converts considerably better than the original and the vendor wants to make it the "official" salespage - how would I negotiate a deal out of this?

    I've never done anything like this so I wouldn't know where to start.

    Could I sell the rights to the salespage for a one off fee?

    Or could I take a small cut from all sales generated if the vendor decides to use my salespage?

    Or perhaps both?

    This is currently a hypothetical situation but I'd like to know my options now.

    Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    James

      The best option would be of course to take a percentage of every sale - say 3-5%. With Clickbank, there is a provision for exactly this sort of thing, where the vendor pays you a mutually agreeable percentage of sales. The contract is administered directly by CB, so there is little risk. Try to negotiate a full continuity (no end date), and one that both parties must agree before ending the contract, ie mutual termination agreement.
