Making an affiliate campaign work

9 replies
Hi,

obviously it is possible to make decent money with affiliate campaigns. My question is however, how to make a very successful campaign when promoting a very known and promoted by many others IM product.

I recently became a member of 5FigureDay by Bryan Winters. You get a sales funnel,squeeze pages look good and professional and you need to promote it.
Likely thousands of people are promoting this and products like this. How to actually make this campaign work?

Can you make big money by testing various traffic sources and investing a lot in it?
Is there something special needed to make some campaign like this work considering there are thousand of people promoting the VERY SAME squeeze page/sales funnel?

    I do not know much about 5FigureDay but I would stay away from buying into some prepaid/premade sales funnel , squeeze page etc... Like you say there thousands of people promoting with the exact same funnel, squeeze page.

    It takes a little time but you need to LEARN to do it yourself. And have your own unique funnel and sales page.

    In the long run it will pay dividends.

    instead of testing multiple traffic sources, pick 1 and test different hooks and sales angles.

    to make a certain product work, you got to find the right message for your audience or find the right audience for your message.

    Does the squeeze page add the optins to your autoresponder? If not, I would put your own squeeze page up and sent the optins to the sales letter in the funnel. It is important that you are building the list and not the site owner's list.

    If you have a list, you could do ad swaps, which is a simple joint venture. You could join JV Giveaways and use your squeeze page in the giveaways to build a list and send traffic to your sales letters.

    I found very early on that you have to go where groups of people hang out that are interested in what you have to offer. I found these groups where people hang out to be on other people's lists.

    So you need to invent different ways to get those people on to your lists so you can contact them with content and new offers that come out in that program every month.

    A good way to provide content is to create a 7 or 10 day ecourse that delivers quality content every day. In some of the lessons add some offers that will make that lesson easier for them to complete.

    Don't blow the 2 suggested methods off because I build a list of over 49,000 optin subscribers in just 90 days using mostly these 2 tactics on getting people from other lists on to my lists.

    I hope this has been helpful,

    This is just like an MLM, or even a real estate agent, who gets 1 website to market to... well, as you've found, everyone's doing it... everyone's promoting the same websites... what separates you?

    The key here is that, MLM, or plugging into a program like 5figureday, is great... it works, but you've got to think outside the box... you've got to take control of your business, at least on the front end.

    This means creating (and testing) your own squeeze pages, and building YOUR own list FIRST...

    Then, you can market 5figureday, or MLM, or sell houses, or whatever... ON THE BACK END.

    So the point... take control. Then promote on the back end.

    By not doing this.^

    Seriously, why did that seem like a good idea?

    Setting up your own funnel is so easy your average 10 year old can do it.

      Yes,the optins are connected with my autoresponder. You can also get autopilot leads, meaning everyone who signed up through your aff link and then generates some leads himself, those leads go both to you and him.

      There are currently about 4-5 different squeeze pages you can choose from to promote, apparently they build different squeeze pages every month (don't know if that's true since I just joined recently)

      Thanks for the response, very helpful. Appreciate every reply.

      I'm a new member there and can't say. I think like with most programs, it works well for some and not for others. I think most of products like this do have earning potential but only if you figure stuff yourself.
      They offer free trial so if you're interested I guess you can just sign up to see what's inside and decide if you're going to go with it.

    The thing I would do is to built my own squeeze page and start generating traffic to it with a product review on your blog for example or with videos about the topic. Get the people on your list and built trust and a relationship and after you have done that you can promote your offer to them. Make yourself stick out of the masses of affiliates.

    Just get your portion of new, targeted traffic and subscribers. Send them good content via email - or lead them to a good pre-sell page... then close the sale. Don't think too hard about it. If it bothers you that much.... create your own product in a totally different niche.
