How I Achieved 71 Sales In 2 Days By Doing (Almost) Nothing
Like me, you've read a lot of hype about various affiliate
programs. Here's one in which I achieved 71 sales in two days.
If I can do it, you can.
This is what a section of my e-mail in-box looked like last
night – a neat stack of e-mails, all with the same heading:
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
This morning, over and over, the same message kept arriving...
even more frequently...
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!
Congratulations, another sale!....
...and the messages kept on pouring in all day...
When I began writing this newsletter, I'd sold 56 copies of
SiteSell's brand new product, Make Your Words Sell!, and earned
a 25% commission on each sale.
I've just checked my online stats again. I've now sold 71
copies.
So, how did I achieve so many sales so fast, when "Make Your
Words Sell!" has only just been released?
That's the magic of the SiteSell affiliate program.
I didn't do ANYTHING to sell that book.
That's right. Truly. I didn't lift a finger. I haven't begun
promoting "Make Your Words Sell!" yet.
It's a four-volume work and I haven't even finished READING
every chapter yet. (But from what I have read, I'm not at all
surprised that it's selling like hotcakes.)
So, how did I get those sales?
I'm going to reveal a few things I've never made public...
It all began last year when I took a calculated gamble and
switched a large proportion of my promotional efforts over to
promoting SiteSell's first product, Make Your Site SELL!.
If you've been receiving the Associate Programs Newsletter for
a while, you'll know that I've been promoting SiteSell's
products heavily - so heavily that I've risked offending my
readers - and some of you have told me so, very bluntly.
In fact, about 200 readers unsubscribed last week after I
published a Special Edition reviewing SiteSell's Dynamic
Pricing. (If I'd read "Make Your Words Sell!" I would have known
I was making a big mistake using "Special Edition" as the title.)
I knew promoting SiteSell heavily was a risky strategy. I
believed the program had fantastic potential, but I wasn't sure
if I'd be able to convince my website visitors and newsletter
readers. A lot of people aren't interested in building equity,
in building a business which will be worth something one day.
I'd been studying affiliate programs since 1997. I'd done my
research carefully and I'd spent many hours on the phone to
SiteSell's President, Ken Evoy. I was convinced his strategy of
OVER-delivering, paying lifetime commissions and providing
intensive support for affiliates was the best strategy on the
Net.
So I took the calculated gamble.
A year ago I was earning some very useful commission checks
from Corey Rudl http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/corey/ . You
don't need many sales when the commission is a generous $65 per
sale. In comparison, Ken's first product, Make Your Site SELL!
which costs under $20, was paying only about $5 per sale.
When I switched to promoting "Make Your Site SELL!" my sales
volume rose but because I was earning only $5 each time instead
of $65, my income declined sharply.
For quite a while, I wondered whether I'd made a wise decision.
Should I switch back to promoting Corey's course? After all,
it's also jam-packed with useful info and although it costs a
lot more, it's still great value for money.
It was a tough decision. I must admit I had a few doubts. Some
people rubbished me on my own message board.
"I've made the best decision for the long term," I told my
wife, Joanna, who keeps a sharp eye on the commission checks.
"You'll see. Just wait till those lifetime commissions start to
take effect."
I wasn't making quite as much money as I once did, but I stuck
with it...
And that's how I achieved those 71 sales...
Ken Evoy's SiteSell affiliate program pays affiliates lifetime
commissions.
I'm sure a lot of merchants and affiliates of other programs
haven't really figured out just how important SiteSell's
lifetime commissions are.
If you're an affiliate and the customer buys a product, such as
"Make Your Site SELL!" that customer is yours for LIFE.
Ken's business philosophy is to OVER-deliver. He believes in
giving his customers far better value than they could ever
expect to receive.
So EVERY product Ken produces sells well – and that means more
lifetime commissions for his affiliates – for you and me.
When Ken announced his second product, "Make Your Knowledge
Sell", I immediately achieved a rush of sales.
My income picked up very nicely indeed. SiteSell soared to the
top spot on my Top 10 list of best-sellers
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/search .
(It's now in number two spot.)
Then SiteSell launched "Make Your Price Sell". I received
another flurry of sales.
Now he has launched Make Your Words SELL!... and it looks as
though my revenue stream is turning into a river.
All SiteSell's products appeal to website owners, but judging
by sales yesterday and today, "Make Your Words Sell" – which is
being sold using Dynamic Pricing – will be SiteSell's
best-selling product yet.
Of course I didn't really "do nothing" to achieve those sales.
Don't believe anyone who says you can make money on the Net by
doing nothing. Earning money is hard work.
It's only AFTER you've done the hard work that it all seems so
easy.
Then this happens...
Ken announces his latest product to his customers, to his
affiliates, and to people who have merely signed up for one of
his newsletters. He lists all the benefits of his product.
Among those people are "my" customers, ones who have previously
bought through my referral link. They're delighted with the
product they bought, so they buy the latest product – and I
receive the commission.
Then Ken thanks me, and puts money in my bank account.
Does YOUR favorite affiliate program help you that way?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Amazon.com's program did?
While we're waiting for that to happen – and for the next Ice
Age – I strongly recommend you join Ken's program.
If you have already joined the SiteSell program - and I know
many of you have - but haven't been promoting its products much
lately, pause for a moment and ask yourself:
What is the lifetime value of a SiteSell customer going to be
worth in commissions to an affiliate?
$100? $700? More?
I don't know. No one can know. However, we do know that
SiteSell is producing a steady stream of products which are
incredibly good value for money, so we can feel good about
promoting them.
EVERY website owner needs them. That means there's a huge
market for them – lots of potential buyers for us to sell to.
So there are lots of opportunities for you to start earning
those lifetime commissions, and start receiving some really good
commission checks.
Get started now on the track to lifetime commissions and decent
sized affiliate checks.
If you're new to all this, the best way to get up to speed is
to take Ken's FREE Affiliate Masters course.
To get it, just send a blank e-mail to
makemytams@sitesell.net
Then one day write and tell me how YOU achieved more than 71
sales in two days. I look forward to receiving your letter.
