1 Article = 4 Sales Overnight....

22 replies
It's funny how some people's fortunes can change literally overnight.

I just got a really nice story from one of my newer affiliates, which I think will help a LOT of people on this forum...

It was from a girl called Gracey who's been article marketing for 6 months, trying to sell 20 different CB products with limited success. She said she sold like 10 copies during those whole 6 months, which I'm sure you'll agree is pretty bad.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, she joined my email list and decided to give my new product a try... with the fading hope that she might make some cash. So she whipped up 10 articles using the ideas I gave her and submitted them to EZA.

To her amazement, with just a few hours of her first article going up on EZA, she had her first sale. And when she woke up in the morning, another 3 sales had popped into her Clickbank account!! (This was all before Google had even picked up the article - it was just from EzineArticles.com natural traffic!!)

As you can imagine, she is extactic and is creating more articles right now... but I want to share the "secret" to her success with you... so that those who are struggling OR starting out can have a chance at making some cash:

To succeed online you need to do two things:

1. Sell something that a LOT of people want to buy

Look at what you're selling. Is it a SOLUTION that a lot of people want to buy?

The easiest way to cash in from the Internet is to sell products that a lot of people are looking to buy... because you'll have an infinitely easier time generating traffic and converting them into customers.

All the biggest business in the world are the ones which SELL products which MANY people want to buy. Even the "smaller" companies in those hot industries are huge... because they all sell a hell of a lot of products to a lot of people. Think about car makers, computer makers, banks, etc

And its the same with marketing online. You're going to make the fastest, easiest, biggest cash by selling stuff that lots of people want.

In Gracey's case, she took a fairly new product in a HUGE MARKET ("get your ex back") which gets like 100,000 searches a month. And because there was so many people looking for a solution to that problem, she was able to cash in from it...

2. Get YOUR affiliate / payment link in front of those people.
Once you've got a big audience with a big problem, you've just got to get your affiliate link in front of them. That's why selling to a big market is the easiest way to make money, because you can put your link in front of so many more people.

This means that you can afford to do some really easy things to get traffic... because there will be so many more people around the Internet who will like to buy your product.

Instead of having to find your customers, you just need to put an article, video or piece of software out there... and they'll find you!

.................................................. ..

That's the secret.

You just need to find ways to get your link in front of potential customers.... and the easiest way to do that is to operate in MASSIVE markets where the traffic is just floating around ready to buy stuff.

.................................................. ..

Here's a tip real quick...

Go look up the "Get your ex back" market on the Google keyword tool.

THAT is a big market. Now just promote a product like the one in my sig with video / article marketing and watch the sales & traffic come flooding in.

PM me for advice if u want it.

    Hi, Rich.

    I think you are spot on here.

    Most of the people how start out as an affiliate, start with finding a product first.

    The problem with this method is that you don't know anything about the marked before you promoting the product.

    When all the work is done, the disappointment is coming when they don't get a payout for their effort.

    Then they maybe even quit, without even knowing why they failed.

    The method you give here, is the opposite way to approach the marked, where you are finding the potential customer first, and then find a good product to give them.

    This is at my opinion the safest way to make sure you success, because you know what people want before you do any marketing to them.

    The problem people is facing with the method you describe in your thread is how to find those niches in the first place, and secondary keep them self motivated when they do the research, because it can be a little boring task, evaluating the marked.

    Maybe you, or someone else, can give the newbies and other that struggles some shortcut to find those hungry marked to promote to.

    Fine story -- but "find stuff that people want" is really a no-brainer...

    Then, the trick is to make them find YOUR solution/product rather than your competitor's... and *that* is the challenge!

      Now we into something here.

      "Sunnyman" do know how to find hungry marked, but don't know how to reach them.

      Maybe you, Sunnyman, can tell people here how you find a hungry marked, and someone else is telling you , and all the others, how to reach them.

      This way this thread will be a goldmine to a lot of people.

      I, personally are more into physical products and find the hungry marked through Ebay Pulse, Amazon bestsellers, and shopping.com.

      I reach the marked through Google organic listings.

      I am going after long tail keyword with low competition which I find with Google keyword tool, and evaluate those keyword with Google intitle search.

    I agree with the "Hungry Market" approach to marketing....However, it's not as simple as putting your link or website infront of them to make money.

    You must also consider the following. How are your competition Marketing to these people? How is your traffic converting? Do you have a good follow up system in place?

    I mean, Yah I can get 1,000 people to my website to sell 1 $30 CB product on weight loss because it's a HUGE market...but when you get a system in place (generating traffic, conversion tracking, follow up, market other similar products to your list etc etc) you might make 10-20 sales from that same 1,000.

    The secret to success with affiliate programs is to get your links or product in front of a lot of people every single week.

    If you get 30 people viewing your link, maybe 1 will buy. Maybe none of them will buy.

    If you get your link in front of 200-400 people everyday, you will make 4-10 sales everyday.

    Hey thanks for all the responses!

    Everyone's right - selling products is just a case of marrying YOUR LINK with THE AUDIENCE.

    Obviously, the bigger the audience, the more chance you get of making sales simply because of the numbers and scale involved.

    I had a lucky run with my OWN product when one of my articles promoting it
    was picked up by a publisher in EZA! Within a day or so, there were like almost
    a dozen sales! I thought I had gone to heaven!

    All those "you've got a payment" messages in my inbox! I have to imprint
    that in my memory for visualization exercise purposes ;-)

    But unfortunately, that hasn't happened too often -- yet. Though I HAVE
    sold more copies of that product, just not all at once.

    What an inspirational story. I think we all know a few people who are desperately trying to make it rich with article marketing, and we might even be those people. It takes hard work that involves persistence in research, and optimism without a fault. Pessimism has a way of telling you that you're only lucky if you make a sale or two. Optimism, though, will tell you that if you keep working at it, you'll make the sales happen over and over again.
