I dream about making my first sale

16 replies
Hi Warriors,
this is my first post on this forum and iam a newbie on affiliate Maketing.i have some questions,any answer i'll be more than grateful.
I dream about making my first sale of a clickbank product.so i made a blog review with 3 products on the same niche.
I'm trying to drive traffic (for the blog ) from Youtube by making videos based on keywords related to the niche with low competition.
some of these videos are relatively well ranked (on page 1) but others no.
My questions:
-Is this a good strategie or not ?
-should i make more videos or concentrate my efforts on ranking those already
posted?

    It's definitely a good strategy for affiliate marketing. Some affiliate use videos almost exclusively. Just make sure what you point them to is directly related to the video, and have calls to action on that page.

    I'm thinking of doing this same thing except with markets/niches that I'm genuinely interested in. Hoping to use this to actually push my own products too. We'll see how it works out, but I've definitely seen it work before for others.

    Ah yes.


    The low-competition keyword startegy.


    Works well.


    All you have to do is scale up and

    do more videos based around the product you're offering.


    Remember, your competitors are on the first page results.

    Take some time to think about where your potential customers are, maybe forums, or facebook groups, and you go there too. Try to help them by providing good content, and promote your offers using signatures at the same time.

    The best approach would be a balance of both, because if you do both together you will have the best results.

    Good Luck!!

    Are you capturing your prospects emails and following up with them?

    Are you promoting products that you believe in and are use to yourself?

    Video is a good way to promote yourself and your business, always put the customer first.

    Actually i got my first sell after working hard and I think you are on the right track. But make sure to experiment with the traffic source too. YT is good but other methods can be worked too.

    Don't dream about your 1st sale.... dream about your first 100 sales in one month. 100 sales should scare you... not 1.

    Hi,

    I always say that for the amount of time you're putting into this
    method you could maximize those efforts by building a list.

    At least when you own a list you own a real asset that you can market
    to again and again.

    It's hard having to chase new buyers compared to owning a list
    of proven buyers that you already have on your list.

    Hope this helps

    Best Regards
    Gavin

    This has worked well for me, just keep at it. som eof my videos don't make squat, just keep at it, its a numbers game. I have affiliate links that make more than $100 per sale and I make sales, I think it helps if your video gives some genuine value related to the information they are seeking, makes them more likely to click. I personally prefer to go ofter high ticket affiliate offers.

    It's an OK strategy, if you have money i'd suggest building a larger website and more reviews. That's just me though.

    If you're going low competition, low traffic, then make sure you have a bunch of vids set up. The bigger your net, the more fish you catch.

    Build your list - don't forget that.

    There are hundreds of strategies to bring in traffic and make sales. The fact is that for some they work good for some don't. I suggest to try different approaches and don't be afraid. If you don't succeed doing X, go to the next method, etc. Until you find what works for you. This is how it works. And if somebody tells you that you must do THIS and it will work, keep in mind that it still may not work for you and your product :-)

    [1]You need focus. You dont need to create more youtube videos.
    [2]My best bet would be for you to find products that are selling pretty well in your niche with a decent amount of monthly searches and create a product review around 2-3
    [3]Rank them

    You will make your first $100 bucks this way and it will encourage you to scale even higher
