Free item or straight to offer?

6 replies
Hello,

I am an affiliate for a training program how to make money online, work from home etc etc..

I am currently driving them to a capture page, straight to the video and then an auto responder follow up. I am using PPC for the traffic.

Some people keep mentioning send them to something free first?

opinions?

    When I'm paying for traffic, I almost always redirect to a money page.

    That's the only time you're GUARANTEED to have their 100% attention... Often times your good intentions can be lost in the big world we have here.

    So strike when the iron's hot.

    Just my $.02, and I wish you nothing but the best.

    There are several differnt ways to do it, but in your case it hink it's best to redirect them straight to the offer after people opted in.

    Don't forget to use a "warm-up" page saying something like: "Your free offer is sent to your inbox, but first check out this amazing offer!"

    This will prepare them and they wo'nt be annoyed and wondering where their free offer is.

      Good that you brought this up...

      I've been meaning to split test these three things:

      1) Meta-refresh (The "warm-up").

      2) Small "thank you page" with a massive button prompting end user to click. (Guess where it links to hehe).

      3) Direct to offer

      Which do you think would win? :]

      I'm honestly not sure, would be fascinating to test on a large scale once and for all.

        I think the best is to simply use an automated redirect script. This way you'll know every new subscriber results in an affiliate click for the offer you promote.

        This way if that person decides to buy the product later you'll still get your commission. I haven't tested this extensively but i guess you would lose a lot of sales from people buying the product later which you don't get credit for.

    I hope more elaborate. I feel like I am in the same boat and do not know where to go with this as well.
