Work This One Out!

Many of you know I recently launched a new ebook

Effective Keyword Research For newbies on a budget

and offered it free to pips members in exchange for testimonials.

Since then, I have been using the ebook as a give away to build my list and have set up a sales page for traffic exchanges. The sales page gives the option of buying the ebook for $9.75 or get it free by signing up to my newsletter.

I never imagined I would actually sell a copy ...but hey .....I have just had notification of my first SALE

Now why would anyone prefer to buy as apposed to get it for free?

Beats me:confused:

Maybe he or she was afraid to learn something!! Good job on the sale though, keep it going. Tim

Maybe it was someone who is like me that feels they are drowning in email and would rather have a root canal than receive another newsletter?

Maybe he or she was decisive and knew what they wanted and wanted it now!

(maybe they didn't read the ad completely)

Those are the choices Graham, but in any case GOOD JOB and congratulations on your sale!

Great work Graham and never sell yourself short, the Internet has many opportunities if you put in the work and offer value people want.

Graham,

Great work on the sale, keep it up...

It is completely amazing how people order things. When I use to sell wine online, I would have people from California order cheap white zinfandel from California even though my store was in Jersey... The bottles would cost about $5 but shipping would be 4 times the amount.. Go figure.

Great Job Graham,

I would think they want the information and don't want to be put on an email list?

If it was me I would get it free and if the emails you sent didn't have value I would just opt-out.
