    Hi smcs,

    You can certainly do this with Aweber, although it's easier of you are the vendor of the product.

    If you are the affiliate, then you'll need to get prospects that bought to come back to your site to collect some sort of bonus, which they only get by opting into your 'Buyer' list.

    Once you've done that, you can link your 'Prospect' list and 'Buyer' lists together, so that when a person subscribes to your 'Buyer' list, they are automatically removed from your 'Prospect' list.

    That way, you won't be offering them the product they've already bought.

    However - as I and many of my affiliate buddies have found - you'll likely find in practice very few will come back to claim their bonus (even if it's a cash bonus!).

    So you could end up with messy situation, where you have a few buyers on the list, but the bulk are still on the original prospect list only.

    I suppose, if they are already on your prospect list, you could increase the bonus take up by sending a broadcast to your whole prospect list, reminding those who bought product X to claim their bonus.

    Warmest regards,

    Paul

      ...
      So there is no sure fire way to capture all the buyer.
      Have you ever gotten into trouble for emailing the people who already
      bought the product over and over again to increase conversion?

        Hi smcs,

        I don't offer the same product over and over again, because I make sure there are plenty of other products in that particular niche.

        Plenty of diffferent products is one of the criteria you should use when selecting a niche.

        That way, you'll end up converting maybe 50% of all your prospects to buyers, whether they buy product one or product ten.

        Warmest regards,

        Paul

        Mind you

    There are ways of doing it using pixels and some custom code depending on the plataform you are promoting.

    A simple way to do it is exporting your buyers info from affiliate statistics and import into another list on aweber using automation rules.

    It's rare for most people to buy the first time they see something so re-marketing to them the same offer makes a lot of sense.
