Affiliate Bangs Out Almost 1k With 4% conversion rate! – Mike Swanson (03/11/09)
This week I did a fast hit and run launch. I wasn’t trying to get people to promote this launch – in fact I kind of discouraged it, but the affiliate program was still live and open and a new affiliate booked in $923.50 for making a post on his blog with the affiliate link on it. He sent 70 unique visitors to the site and 3 of them converted for a 4.2% conversion rate.
You can see what he wrote right here.
Here’s the thing – he doesn’t have a giant email list. On his site it says 2743 readers through feedburner – yet he banged out almost 1k dollars with a blog post.
It shows how you can make money with blogs – and I’d guess that one promotion would make more than he would using google adwords for two months.
That is almost 50 cents per reader generated by the affiliate link.
Interestingly that is the exact same value per reader Matt Morris of Microcapmillionaires.com got back in the January launch with his email list.
In May we are going to do a bigger and much more planned out launch that I think will get even better results. I’ll be sending you some more articles and ideas about marketing and boosting your own business over the next month and then in the beginning of May lay out the plans for my May launch.
After that I don’t plan on doing another one until September or October so its going to be a big one.
