    Why? I make my living as a ClickBank affiliate, and I certainly don't have, and don't want, any product testimonials on my site. That's "selling". That's the vendor's job, not the affiliate's job.

    I mention it because I'm wondering whether you might be "selling" the products on your site, as well as referring people to the vendor's sales page?

    Selling instead of pre-selling is certainly a very common reason for low conversion-rates.

    Good. Are you communicating effectively with your subscribers, without trying to "sell" the product too obviously? The art is to "recommend" without "selling". See if anything here helps you? http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6123982

        By becoming the person whose recommendation they trust and rely on, because you've built up such credibility with them, and then simply recommending it after they trust you (not before!).

        Selling substantial numbers of "ClickBank-type products" is a relationship-building business.

        It's all about trust.

        People who trust you will trust your recommendation. As long as you don't make it too obvious that you're anxious to sell it (if you do that, you'll come across as "just another marketer" and you won't be the one they decide to trust). And as long as your recommendation doesn't ever disappoint them, they'll trust it again, and again, in future - and that's where most of the money is, in affiliate marketing: repeat sales of other products to the same customers. The more they buy through you, the easier it gets, each time - as long as they're never disappointed. That's why you can't do it without a list - you'd always be at "the most difficult end of the market" with the "first sale to new traffic".

            Only a little bit before I joined the WF. (I used to be an article-writer/seller when I first started, and to do bits of copywriting for people - haven't done that for over 3 years now).

            No striking "individual achievements", honestly: just slow and steady and gradually accumulating progress over the last four years.

            I think it's really easy for people who are starting off to overestimate what they can achieve very quickly, but it's also very easy to underestimate what you can achieve gradually, by building slowly and steadily with everything based on quality and reliability, and aimed at longevity.

      I wonder if they are always perceived as selling. I mean, what is wrong with saying something like "Here's what other subscribers who used this product have to say about product X..."?

      I've seen Myob recommending this somewhere (from what I remember)... that's why I ask.

      Also, what about using testimonials on the landing page for more opt-ins? (I've seen Seth Godin doing this.)

        In emails, perhaps? Or on one of the vendor's sales-pages which he rewrites and hosts himself, maybe?

        It's not something I'd want too obviously on any of my affiliate niche sites (well, maybe inside a review, but not all over the front page, as one so often sees). Let me explain why with a rhetorical question ...

        What do you want your affiliate niche-site to look like to your highly targeted visitors, when they land there? A trustworthy, reliable expert's site where they can get authoritative information, or a site set up to sell things? To me, it's as simple as that.

        Hi Jackie - what sells products of this type is the strength of the recommendation of someone who's established credibility and is trusted as an authority. The selling is done by the vendor, and the pre-selling by the affiliate. If the affiliate also looks like s/he's "selling", down goes the conversion rate.

        From what I've seen here, over the last 4 years or so, the reason the failure-rate in affiliate marketing is so high is that there's a small number of classic, regularly repeated, very widespread mistakes which people duplicate in their businesses.
        • The first is perhaps trying to do it without building lists (close to impossible)
        • The second is probably trying "Internet Marketing" and "Make Money Online" niches straight out of the gate, when you're starting off (hardly destined to be a success)
        • The third is perhaps "selling instead of pre-selling" (not possible to build the right type of relationship with your subscribers/visitors/readers that way)
        When beginning affiliates post threads here asking "What am I doing wrong?", the outcome is almost inevitably one of two things ... (in addition to the fact that they're often promoting a product I wouldn't touch, myself) ...
        • (i) They won't give enough information about what they're actually doing for anyone to be able to answer their question, and it's just a guessing-game, or ...
        • (ii) It turns out, when you look at their site, that it looks as if they're "selling". If it comes across to your visitors as a "sales site", rather than as an "independent authority site", it'll very rarely work.
        Note that I'm talking about sites set up to sell informational sorts of products to targeted niches, of course. Not sites set up to target SEO traffic for specific (Amazon?) products that people are on the point of buying anyway - that's a different sort of marketing altogether.

        This is very good, and highly recommended: http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...l-tactics.html

          Yes, inside the review is where I was talking about mainly, not necessarily somewhere else, and my idea was to use them sparingly, not as the center piece.

          I don't know if it's me, and I promise I'm not trying to pick on you, but isn't a good one or two testimonials claiming that you're the "go-to authority" going to help you achieve that effect?

          I get the whole idea that you want to look like a trustworthy source and differentiate yourself from the hordes of other affiliates who just want to sell as quick as possible, but isn't the mild use of testimonials something your competition is not doing when trying to get opt ins?

          But well, as with everything, one needs to properly split test it, I guess...

            Could be ... but of course that's very different indeed from the "product testimonials" discussed above, isn't it? Huge contrast: one's about establishing credibility and the other's about selling something.

            Some have "strong" use of testimonials, certainly, because they're making the mistake of trying overtly to sell the product from their landing page even though they're affiliates. They have sites that look like another version of the sales page. Some of them even deliberately try to make their sites look as much like the sales page as possible. I've seen people asking for, offering and receiving advice here on exactly how to do that! :rolleyes: :p

              My reading-between-the-lines-skill isn't working properly today. Obviously, I wasn't referring to product testimonials (on the landing page, I mean)... "They should put it in HUGE black letters" :p

    You need to build audience and then think about selling. You can build your audience on Facebook or twitter.

    A good way to get people to purchase the product through your affiliate link is offering a bonus. You mentioned you said you have personal experience with this product and have before and after results. You could offer a bonus showing how you got these results.
