You can post it like this:

mydomain dot com

P.S. I think this is in the wrong section

Your proposed commissions seem a little low, but maybe not.

My question is why not run the ad more often and in more places like biz-op magazines?

It seems like you have a fantastic conversion rate which is what's really important.

Good luck,
Mark

Mark,

will not stop print advertising...in fact scheduled to run again nationally the week after thanksgiving....

will continue to do that as long as profitable....will start up heavy again after the new year.....just wondered if this was something that could be marketed in an affiliate program....personally i don't know - just too new at this...this all happened fairly rapidly...

yeah, i don't know about the commissions either, just throwing some numbers around now....

any thoughts?

Thanks

A lot of people are now looking at promoting physical products as an affiliate because the information market is so competitive - if you are ranking well for some well-searched keyword terms then I don't see why some affiliates wouldn't take it on as an additional product - it seems to be something that would lend itself well to a mini site or specialty niche site.

What you could do is set up a page on your site for affiliates - give them a link they can promote so they know they will get paid for their efforts - offer them a reasonable commission rate and if you can supply some emails, articles or ad copy that they can use in their own promotion efforts.

best of luck

I agree with Lisa and also Mark (as far as the commisions is concerned).

Once you become more familiar with IM you will learn that most affiliates make a pretty hefty percentage, however, yours being a physical product (of sorts) does factor in and would most likely allow you to offer a bit lower commisions than is standard for say digitial products (such as downloadable items).

I could be way off with this guesstimate but considering the product sells for $1849 I would imagine most worthwhile affiliates (those who could bring you some serious sales) would want somewhere near 15%, maybe more. I know it doesnt exactly relate but keep in mind that several digital products pay affiliates upwards of 50%.

Just food for thought...

Thanks

Fisheye,

I would say run the ad again and again until it stops working.

I took a look at your website, nice concept, but i think you need a good copywriter to redo the salescopy.

I can help here, as i'm preety good at copywriting and have lots of clients in my country. (not tooting my horn here)

Just send me a PM or email ronald@infomarketingnigeria.com

If you can scan and upload your advert, the one in the newspaper, i could also improve it.

NOTE: I'm not expecting any payment from you. Just helping out.

You need to get this bit done, so that when you install an affiliate system, the sales will come in like a tsunami.

Well, hope this helps.

Ronald
