Age Old Affiliate Debate - Presell Or List Build?

Hi Warriors,

Ok, it's the AGE OLD AFFILIATE DEBATE!

Is it best too:

Set up a PRESELL page to a product as an affiliate?

Or

Set up an optin page with the presell being part of the email marketing?

I think I know which way most will go! ; )

I know many warriors may do both but what I am looking for here is Warriors that have used both methods, even with the same product, what works best? Which way generates more sales?

I have only ever gone the PRESELL Landing Page route as I know it works but would be intrigued to find out what everyones thoughts and result driven opinions are on this???

    I only collect opt-ins for a longer term niche that can be sold to more than once... It may not be the most scientific answer but certain niches just don't lend themselves that well to making an opt-in list, at least not in my experience...

    For example if I was promoting a reverse phone offer and told someone they had to opt-in before they could enter a phone number they'd probably just go some where else because there are so many websites out there that will let you just type in the number without any hassle.

    If you can sell to people down the road then go for the opt-in page... If you're promoting an offer that is more of a one and done type niche then just stick with a landing/pre-sale page, especially if you have good conversions (3% +)

    Excellent points Sean Ski.

    For most niches you can force your prospects to opt-in and then after the opt-in process send them to a pre-selling page.

    This way you get the best of all worlds.

    - Build your lists & a long term asset:

    - Warm your prospects up:

    Hope This Helps!!

    Both

    Split test them for up-front conversions, and then factor in any possibility of a back end promotion or 5
