$333 from a test run..

I did somewhat of a 'marketing test'.

I am sure this is not new, and many people must have done this, but I thought I must share.

Anyway, I found a CPA offer, with payout around $30/lead I think, for one of those **** products.

I wanted to see what would happen if I direct linked on a Press Release. I outsource much of my work now, namely Philippines. Anyway, they spent a day submitting to around, roughly, 100 PR directories, non-paid, and one week later I saw some sales/leads in my account from this campaign.

I submitted the PR's on Mon 29th & Today, around a week later, the PR's had made me $333.

Not sure if this is pure luck, or if it actually works, but its cool! will do some more tests on it!

I have also attached a screenshot image.

    Hi Isha,

    Well done, but I have questions if you don't mind.

    Would you mind telling us a little about your sales funnel technique?
    Did the press release send them direct to your affiliate link, or to a squeeze page you have made.

    If it was a squeeze page did you go for direct conversions, or the list building route.

    Cheers,
    Colin Palfrey

      This test was done via a direct aff link however, I am going to be testing a pre-sell/squeeze version to see what happens.

      I can let you know the outcome if you are interested.

        If anyone wants to try some **** berry for themselves, just let me know, and I'll send you a link

        Press releases are a great way to drive traffic to CPA offers or any other offer for that matter, because of the way that they rank.

        For tons of keywords, you can throw a good press release out there and get first page rankings for some really competitive phrases. The problem is, the ranking usually goes away in 24 - 48 hours so, it is a continuous process.

        It works really well if you target product names in general, with many of the CPA trials, the email spammers will start hammering peoples inboxes, and cause the person being spammed to run to Google to get more information about the product. So, the best time to start with the press releases is right after you start getting spam on a particular product

          I wish you would stop teaching everyone this stuff! because it works really well. though i will admit it was you i got it from.

          cpa product names are ridiculously easy to rank for

          i've also done it with Digg... bookmark something optimized for the product name and for the bookmark just use the keyword as the title and discription and tags and then backlink the s*!t out of the bookmark as fast as i can and it will usually rank really well, really fast but it never seems to last.

          Ha-ha. Nice tip. Now, can anyone tell me a good way to get MORE spam? ... Serious question. Most of the spam I get these days says something like FedEx Order #392943949238393

    The power of outsourcing...I love it myself.

    Could she have done it herself? sure.

    But why? All she did was find a target market
    that "buy's stuff", and she leveraged other
    peoples time and resources to get the job done.

    In my opinion, the BEST way to make money
    and leverage yourself.

    Even if you spend a little over $100 to have that
    done, you still got a great return, and I gaurantee
    that it won't be the only sales she gets...

    Nice job. I love threads like this.

        This is a wiki:
        A press release, news release, media release, or press statement is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value. Typically, they are mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, and/or television networks. Commercial press-release distribution services are also used to distribute them.
        A PR directory is a place where the above is sent out all over the universe. A popular one is prweb.com

      This is what I'm talking about. Leveraging business into its next level, you as the owner yourself should have plenty of time focusing on the "earning" parts rather than dominating all skill sets to meet all business needs since having this income is such a great point to start with **** berry market. You can outsource everything that'll go around promoting your website or contents about **** berry with keywords linking back to your website through article marketing, social bookmarking and social networking. These in turn will help you find people not only those who you think will particularly buy the product but also people who'll be interested in recommending your great information that'll magnet more audience.

      I'm sure this will take a lot of time that's why I've also agreed to invest in outsourcing and hiring people to do the marketing part while you track on PPC yourself. Otherwise, you can also let them do PPC while you train them in much intense "earning" strategies that'll benefit you both. If you think this will cost a lot, why not try to outsource to the Philippines. I've tested them myself and I'm glad Tyrone Shum of MassOutsource.com has shared this mindset in outsourcing.

    Great info Isha,
    Iam really glad that your test worked for you. Often times, the greatest
    inventions were discovered by accident. The **** berry is a very hot selling niche. For anyone who is in it or wants to get in it my WSO should help you out. This is not a self promotion but I just think it would help you guys tons.

    Hi Isha,

    Thank you for sharing.

    It is great to know that simple strategy works and we will just need to duplicate the whole process continuously to see results.

    Do keep us updated on the results that you get when you use the presell page as your landing page.

    All the best

    Hi, yeah, outsourcing has been good. It starts off a little slow, because when you hire people, you cannot assume they know everything, as I did, lol. So you may have to spend a few weeks showing them how you like things done, and from then on, productivity is so much better!

    Thanks for sharing the info

    I gave up **** after submitting lots of articles with high CTR; only to receive not a single sale; I thought something was wrong with the sales page. Anyway, its good to know you are making good income on this product.

    Congratulations Isha!

    And Aandersen you are the MAN =]

    Thanks to you both I think I just had a braingasm

    P.S. Aandersen, is the Digg Bookmark the actual page containing a link to your affiliate link? And is there something you look for specifically when trying to find a CPA product to promote this way? (i.e. low competition or high notoriety?)
