A REAL case study Offline CPA+Clickbank marketing- A-Z

4 replies
Hey guys! This is one of my first posts, if not the first lol!

Anyway, I've been a member for a while, purchased a few gigs, and like most marketers, let them collect a very thick layer of dust.

But HERE is the good news; I recently grew a pair and decided to actually start doing something instead of reading forums til 6 in the morning, excited about every new WSO and opportunity there is, then losing interest as soon as I woke up and realized it actually took real work.

So here Goes- A complete Case study TOTALLY offline marketing-
I will be promotion several clickbank products and verticals and CPA offers to offline markets.

Step 1. Create an attractive, ( or at least semi-decent) flyer for my FIRST clickbank promotion- Complete.

What did I choose and why?
I chose a Weight loss offer from CB- top 5 results and high gravity as well. Promotes on CB at a fairly good rate, so that's where we will start off!

I chose this because I wanted to test out the saturation for these CB offers-Offline. After all, weight loss is SUPER evergreen here in the USA- so maybe my market will be enough

I typed up flyers in about 5 minutes in Microsoft word-
I added a 3x3 table and effectively made 9 flyers for one sheet of paper (saving cost is paramount) I live in an apartment and have no job- JUST lost it about 2 weeks ago.

That is where the process is at- Right now.

Am I going to abandon this post and fail to update ya'll on my progress- NOPE!

I see so many half-finished case studies that I actually want to provide a FULL fledged campaign from start to...well hopefully to ad infinitum.

This is DAY 1- What did we accomplish?

1. Found a decent paying CB offer- $26 minimum, up to $86 per conversion.
2. Typed up NON complicated, easy to read flyers in a 3x3 Microsoft word table.
3. Please don't rage- But I simply used a redirect on a custom domain- Not even a related domain name, but catchy nonetheless. ( Yes, that will be taken into consideration for my next run of promotion- Whether a related domain name OFFLINE is a better conversion rate- Vs a targeted keyword rich domain. Yes I am aware of these things, just want to TEST, TEST, and TEST some more until I see consistent greenbacks- Hey you never know, maybe offline the name doesn't matter at all!?

Not bad for 3 hours of total work- And that includes smoke breaks, playing League of Legends, and taking interview calls.

That's day one- And we're not done yet.

Will be posting later today- Even if I don't finish anything else, I will keep a daily log, please check back, and I will reply to ALL comments/concerns/tips!

Thanks for your time guys-
See you all real soon!

For those of you wondering- Yes I am aware that I can place a link inside of my signature- but I am doing only offline right now- I realize I could create a funnel system and capture leads and sell to them over again, yes.. but that's not the point of this Study

    Thanks Sandalwood!

    Alright- Midday Update
    Called in to a few places to check out flyer prices- Ended up going with Fedex because they were CLOSE, and easy to deal with. It was a whopping 12 bucks for 100 copies.

    MODIFICATION- I actually spoke with the representative there and he said he used to do flyer marketing, and got more favorable results with bigger handouts-

    His explanation- " A business card is for one reason, to get your contact information, and you generally only receive a business card when someone gives it to you, or when you are in a place where you already know they will be promoting a business, Like at a computer repair shop, where they have those Directv and comcast business cards.

    Most people wouldn't go picking up a business card off of a stack of books at the library- At least I know I wouldn't. So I went with that and ran home modified the flyer to be 4 squares instead of 9. So all in all, I paid 12 bucks for 400 flyers. I can live with that!

    Alright, So they are LITERALLY printing right now, I just sent him the revised email and will gladly email the files I'm using to anyone one here, Just PM me

    So I can't do much else right now, but wait until they are finished- So I'm gonna play a few games of LoL and relax. Oh- and I found out my life passion is OFFLINE marketing, So, more than likely my main business will be rerouted to marketing offers offline mainly. Will of course throw in SEO, articles, and other important long term things, but for right now, I'm TOTALLY okay with pounding the streets day after day with new offers and goals- spending 10-12 hours if I have to.

    See, there is certainly a benefit to doing everything online, I just however know that I am on the verge of a huge potential windfall of profits by doing this offline. I

    I mean think about it- Obviously the only way a new shop or store gains business is by promotion themselves- they started out with no followers, no fans, nadda.

    I'm SIMPLY putting flyers out into the public and the people who ARE looking to get the service or product I'm offering won't have a problem going online when they get home.

    I can't start to speak like I'm a massive pro or anything like that yet, but hey at least I'm out there doing something, and I know it will work- Maybe not with this campaign, maybe not with the next 10.. but do I really have to repeat the oh-so-famous Edison story?

    He found out over a thousand ways that light bulbs were NOT going to work- then BAM!
    Just like that over the course of the next few decades, cities had streetlights powered by ELECTRICITY, not fire.

    So yeah guys, whatever you do, it WILL work because it's already been done- Stop forcing yourself to perfect EVERY little thing about your campaign to begin with and just spend a day doing something that makes progress.

    Alright, enough yapping- Will be back for more case 'studyin-time, tomorrow!

    Keep at it you guys-!
