Hi,

I'm aiming my questions to all you fellow Warriors who are experienced in how to make internet products popular.
Two months ago, I've started a business with a product which main purpose is to automate the gameplay of various games on Facebook. My product is well betatested and after fixing many bugs reported by customers I can say that it's finally fully stable and working great.
I'm getting around 300-500 visitors daily with a sale conversion of around 1-2%. Is it good?

There was another game automation project for the Farmville game started around 6 months ago which was an extreme success. They've sold around 50'000 copies in first two months for 7$ each. I've been trying to learn from them, but I can't seem to find what I'm exactly doing wrong. I'm trying to find affiliates, but it seems noone who visits my site is interested in participating.

Can you take a look at the website and tell me if there is anything wrong with it that may frighten or annoy people? I put lots of effort in making this site look well, but maybe I made it too difficult to read and cluttered. Please tell me if you have any suggestions.

I'm thinking that my main problem right now is lack of successful promotion. I assume I won't be getting too many sales with 300-500 visits each day.
It's pretty impossible for me to spend whole days on writing articles and posting them to article sites, as I spend most of my time inventing new features for the product and making it work better. I also don't have much money to outsource the promotion process. I've finished the affiliate program though which just waits for people willing to participate in it. Can you tell me where would be a good place to look for affiliates? You have much more experience in IM than I have as I'm just starting with my first project, so I'll appreciate any tips.

    set up your own affiliate program so that people who buy your program, can sell it as an affiliate. So every buyer is a potential reseller of your product. This will certainly create some automatic viral marketing.

    Invest in some banner ads on some well known IMers webpages, or try an email buy.

    Nobody knows you're there until they know you're there. In order for them to know you're there, you must be found. To be found, you must make yourself visible. To make yourself visible you must acheive as much NATURAL traffic and REFERAL traffic as you can...within your budget.

    Hope these couple things helped a little.

      I may be interested in affiliating for your bot, if you see my sig below my blog is targetted towards students and may get some good conversions.
      Good you asked. My product is not related to facebook system itself. The games it's for are third party facebook applications that come from external companies which just use facebook platform to get users. My product is also not about cheating as it doesn't change the game mechanics in any way. It performs tasks no different to what any player would do while normally playing the game.
      Thanks for advice, I'll start by asking the people who already bought the product. As for clickbank I don't entirely trust this system would bring much revenue. What I see is that the products with most success there, are products with 75% commission pricing at >30$.

      Thanks a lot for these advices! I currently try to make myself visible on facebook pages related to the games I have products for, but it's not enough. Do you think that it may be a good way of advertising by creating fan pages like "10 Things You Shouldn't Do in XXX Game" and just let people become fan of it and when they join present the offer to them?

    You will have a hard time selling this product.

    No one will really benefit from having a "computer game" played automatically.

    Try to come up with something more useful.
