13 replies
Hi! I had a new product launch yeasterday and I broadcasted promotion emails to my subscriber lists. From one list of 2,840 subscribers, I made around 28 sales (Up to now. And It hasn't gone 24 hours yet since I sent the broadcast).

I also got 1,211 hops from 38 affiliates and 32 order form submit counts, but NO SALES?

I havent experienced this before. How on eart can I get 32 order form subimts, and no sales? :confused:

      If you're not going to provide people a link, how is anybody going to be able to help.

      You'll just get a load of generic "maybe its..." answers which won't help at all.

      If you want people to actually provide you with relevant help, you need to post a link.

        A link to a clickbank product on the WF - behave!

        I would give it more time to get a clearer picture. I think that Alexander K might be right.

      Listen dude, maybe you are targeting traffic from a country where people do not pay up easily, like, in country like India, you will find many product, for which people are interested... but its just their wish list, they will never shell out money for buying it... so you need not just right targeting, but also they should be from the right place..

      Hope I did help!

    38 affiliates and 32 order form submit counts. How many are active affiliates? When I promote a product, I click on the submit order form, to make sure it is working. So a bunch of those could have just been from affiliates and some from people who decided not to buy.

    And could be junk traffic if you were expecting more order form submit counts from 1,211 hops.

      Very true, that's the point. Nothing else.

    Also, it's the holidays for most and everyone has spent their money already.
    Fresh start in January...?

    This is not really the right time to launch a product.

    Thanks Alexander! I have tried to track the traffic now, and most of it comes from links in emails. And the traffic comes from countries like USA, UK, Canada, Italy, Sweden, etc.

        Jimmy,

        There is another thread about this exact same thing happening with other CB affiliates. I thought it was just me and that it was just that it was around the holidays but something is wrong, I believe.

        I contacted CB concering this since it is a high number of order form submits without sales resulting. I mean, a few every week or so is not unusual but for me it is way out of whack. I am still making some sales but my income from CB has been pared down to about 25% of what it normally is with everything being the same.

        CB told me that order form submits without resulting sales were from people putting in the wrong CC info or being declined etc. That is all well and good but either the vast majority of the general public has suddenly gotten fat fingers, forgotten how to fill out a simple form or something is wrong.

        I know that I have seen this before with CB but it has been a while. I spend way too much time thinking about it but it is completely out of my hands. Not sure if it is a problem with payment processors or the CC companies or what.

        I just wanted you to know that you're not crazy... and it's not a matter of being more patient. I don't know whether it is all CB affiliates across the board or just some of us that are on one particular server... honestly, I am ignorant of how CB's stuff is set up... just, "you're not crazy" ok?

          Thanks Bretski!

          Over the last few days, I have recived a lot more traffic, and a lot more order form submits, but still NO SALES... I do also think that it's something wrong with the payment processor because I have never experinced anything like this before.

          I'm going to contact ClickBank regarding this after the holidays.

    I enjoyed your sales video right up to the point where John showed you what to do, and suddenly you made $94,000 almost overnight (2 months). Then after 4 months you had over $200,000. This makes me want to do what you did, which was listen to John. John had the Golden Egg and handed it to you. I want you or John to hand it to me.

    Then you improved on John's strategy and wrote a guide implementing new things ($47 is a lot for a guide), but don't mention that you will not only share John's information (which got you started), but also all the new things that improved it. The video leaves me thinking "I've got to meet John to get the missing piece".

    The testimonials are great and basically ring true except for the guy who says "I've been Internet Marketing for years and have NEVER BOUGHT A PRODUCT LIKE THIS! (He is saying don't buy when he should have said "This is the best widget ever" Keep those that do say 'best ever'.

    All during the video you keep returning to the fact that you knew nothing, earned nothing, and had no success until "John". Then your world changed overnight and you now understand EVERYTHING and even know how to improve it. That's quite a stretch as it implies a lot more than an epiphany.

    Unfortunately, your personal story does not ring true. You "slaved" at McDonalds, barely making enough to eat on, couldn't buy beer, yet you managed to buy $4500 worth of Guru software and implement it all unsuccessfully just since 2010. Then you met John and everything changed.

    Ergo, I would like to meet John

    Modifying your "Close" to being only able to support a limited number of entries into this new improved way of marketing to avoid saturation, might be more effective.

    On your Clickbank link the Affiliate link says "None". Don't know if that is a CB error, or if no one is promoting for you. Shouldn't it at least have your ID?

    The overall construction of the sales video is very good and professional looking. I honestly do like what you have put together, but I would have to wait and see more of your stuff before paying $47 for a guide without some contact with John.

    Just saying

    However, if you would like to share John's SECRET... I'd listen.

    Merry Christmas

    What are you talking about Bettersignup? It's not my sales page we are talking about here, but ClickBank's payment processor, and you don't which product I'm talking about because that's irrelevant.

    And the reason why you see "Affiliate= none" on the order form is because you didn't click on a hop-link, but a direct link to my sales page.


    Merry christmas to you too,

    -Jimmy

      So, you're a VENDOR and you're seeing this also? Have you checked to see if you are getting downloads of your product? Like, does the order form submits match up to the number of downloads or aren't you seeing any downloads either? I'm an affiliate of a few products and I'm seeing the same thing on the affiliate side also... not IM or MMO products though. Just sayin'...
