My Flyer Promotion Experiment & Results

I got this idea from a thread here about using QR codes that lead to a Clickbank product on a flyer and posting it at supermarkets, malls, bus stops, etc.

Well, I decided to tweak it a little bit to make it accessible to everyone who has an internet connection, not just folks with the technology for QR codes on their phones.

Here's what I did:

1. Selected a popular weight loss Clickbank product.

2. Bought a .info domain from GoDaddy that was catchy and fit the niche.

3. Printed up a half page flyer promoting the product with some catchy ad copy.

4. Went to the local copy place and ran off 1000 flyers (500 pages total since I fit two flyers on 1 page). Then, I cut them all up into half page flyers.

5. Went through my complex (I live in a townhouse complex) and stuck them on doors, underneath windshield wipers, etc. That putout about 250 flyers. I then went to three other townhouse complexes and did the same. This took me 2 full days to do (about 8 hours each day - finished at 4 pm yesterday).

Didn't get any sales the first two days but just checked my Clickbank account and have made 3 sales so far.

Even if I get a 1% conversion, that's 10 sales. The product pays $34.89 per sale, so that would be about $349.

That's not bad for 16 hours of work. Of course, the flyers cost me $48 to print. So, that would be about $300/16 = $18.75 per hour.

Sure, it's a little work, but, since I only work about 1-2 hours per day on my IM business, this is a good way for me to get out, get some exercise, and make some extra cash.

I'll report back on how many sales I get. I'm banking on at least 10, since wieght loss is a big issue for middle aged folks, and that's the majority of residents in these townhouse villages.
