It's no secret I'm one of the Clickbank gurus selling you stuff on the Internet - who I will not say. But I'd just like to share a little something with you. I blasted out an email to over 60,000 subscribers and customers for a product that I thought was very good. The sales copy was quite hot as well.
The next day I woke up and I logged into my clickbank account and was momentarily stunned. Zero freaking sales. I checked and re-checked my stats and links to make sure I didn't scew up somewhere. The worst part was I really didn't screw up anywhere, it just didn't convert for me!
So what is the lesson behind this?
1. Be prepared to fail and fail very often. Even an established marketer like me can FAIL and fail superbly. Failure isn't a bad thing because you can always learn something from it no matter what.
2. Never let it get you down. I turned my 'failure' into strength. I directed the negative energy into tweaking, updating and reworking on all my existing clickbank sites.
3. Do a post mortem - find out whats wrong and try not to commit the same mistake.
Hope you gained something from that little rant of mine! I'd like to report back on this blog's progress. Despite my lack of updates, traffic has been steadily rising for this Clickbank blog - mainly from Google.
Not too bad I would say. I've talked about create blogs like these and how to rank for keywords in previous posts. If you missed it, here they are:
