You’ll Never Become a Super Affiliate Without Doing This…
Filed under: Affiliate Marketing, Internet Marketing
Super affiliates, those affiliates who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year doing nothing but affiliate marketing, all have one thing in common.
They track what they’re doing….to the detail.
Super affiliates don’t get to where they’re at overnight. Nope. They start off their careers just like you, with almost no money to spend in advertising. The difference is, they realized early on that if they don’t keep track of what’s doing well and what’s not, they may as well throw money out the window.
We’re talking about people like:
- Jeremy Shoemaker of Shoemoney.com.
- Jay Stockwell of SpeedPPC.com
- Aymen from the ArbitrageConspiracy.com
- and Tim Houston from AffiliateLifestyle.com
You should know by now that I don’t recommend things lightly. And what I’m about to tell you will save you thousands of dollars. Literally.
The program I’m referring to is StatsJunky and it will change your affiliate life!
Why?
Because you’ll know in an instant if what you’re promoting is making you money or just pulling it out of your pocket.
As an example, there’s one affiliate in particular who set up a StatsJunky account and found that one of their neglected sites was actually converting at over 14% (which is unheard of by the way). Without knowing how well this site was converting, they very well would have overlooked it and lost out of thousands of dollars in sales.
What StatsJunky does is automatically download and update all of your affiliate stats. If you’ve been doing it the “old fashioned” way your typical day may have gone like this:
- Visit your affiliate site such as Clickbank.
- Login to your statistics area.
- Download the information.
- Add it to a spreadsheet.
- Visit another affiliate site.
- Get your stats.
- Download your stats.
- Add it to a spreadsheet.
- Continue this process until all of your program statistics were updated (including PPC ads).
- Place all of this into a spreadsheet.
- Try to figure out what was making you money and what wasn’t.
- Do this every day.
With StatsJunky you’ll never have to do this again.
Every last one of the programs that you’re promoting as well as the way that you’re promoting them (AdWords for example) is stored and updated within StatsJunky on your own computer in its own encrypted file.
There are over 200 (and growing) programs supported by StatsJunky including:
- ClickBank
- AdWords
- Ad On Network
- 1ShoppingCart
- Aweber
- Azoogle
- CPA Empire
- Profit Center
- Yahoo Publisher
- and tons more!
And in the event your program isn’t listed, just request it and they’ll get the data for you.
Ok, that’s great but now what?
The best thing about StatsJunky is that you can see at a glance what’s making you money and what’s not.
You can sort by things like:
- Impressions
- Clicks
- Sales
- Leads
- Rebills
- Refunds
- EPC/CPC
- Conversion Ratio
- Earnings
- Projected earnings per year
- and more.
Additionally, for those of you who use PPC ads, you can even drill down to the keyword level on your campaigns to see which keywords are giving you the most return on your investment. Then you can simply get rid of those under-performing keywords and move that traffic to the higher performing keywords.
While all this is fantastic in and of itself, I haven’t even touched on all of the different statistics you can get by using StatsJunky.
Now, I promised you that I’d tell you how to save thousands of dollars on this product…well, here it is…
For a VERY LIMITED TIME, until July 31st 2009, or until all 1,418 spots have been taken, you can get StatsJunky for only $297 FOR LIFE!
Why are they doing this? Well, it’s their birthday sale.
Why is this such a big deal? Because this NEVER happens. “Regular” customers have to pay $99 a month! But during this promotion you get StatsJunky for only $297 for LIFE!
That saves you over $1,000 a year!
Remember, you will never become a super-affiliate if you don’t understand where your traffic is coming from, if it’s taking money from you or making you a bundle without tracking statistics.
Every successful affiliate marketer knows where they’re income is coming from and where their money’s going.
If you don’t, you are just throwing money down the drain.
Again, you can get lifetime access to StatsJunky for only $297 but ONLY until July 31st, 2009.
And like all quality products, they offer a 30-day, no questions asked money back guarantee.
Visit the site and click the green button that says “Limited Time Offer – Only $297 for Life”.
*Click on any of the affiliate links above to get the $297 Lifetime Offer – but only until July 31st, 2009.*
Rumor has it…

…that ClickBank is currently working on adding physical products to their arsenal in addition to downloadable products along with a few other language & currency updates.
Stay tuned…
ClickBank Has Competition – Meet Click2Sell
Filed under: Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Marketing Products, Affiliate Programs, Marketing, Marketing Strategies
Click2Sell is a new online marketplace very similar to ClickBank with a few subtle yet potentially important differences depending on what you prefer.
ClickBank has been a favorite amongst both affiliates and sellers of digital products for many years. ClickBank currently has over 100,000 affiliates and over 10,000 digital products. Click2Sell however, is slightly different and is obviously competing for the business that ClickBank currently has.
First off, Click2Sell not only offers digital products but physical products as well as subscriptions, something that ClickBank just recently implemented. However, ClickBank doesn’t offer you the opportunity to sell physical products like Click2Sell does.
Click2Sell also offers someone selling a product the ability to manage their Articles, Banners and E-mail messages used to help affiliates promote the product. ClickBank currently does not offer these tools for the merchant but rather leaves it up to the merchant themselves to create these items for their affiliates.
A big plus is that you also have access to who your affiliates are; their name as well as how many visitors they’ve had, their number of sales, the ability to ban the affiliate if necessary, and even email the affiliate directly. Something again that ClickBank doesn’t allow you to do.
Merchant Fees
In order to list a product, ClickBank charges you $49.95 however, Click2Sell only charges a fee per transaction and no more than $3 per transaction for products over $40.00; $1 for items $19.99 and less.
There are no fees whatsoever for affiliates.
Affiliate Information
As an affiliate of any product within the Click2Sell marketplace, you can sort the available products by category; very much like ClickBank but if you’ve visited ClickBank in order to promote one of their products, you’ll notice that the statistics for the products are a little proprietary and take a bit of reading to understand what they mean.
Click2Sell on the other hand, allows you to sort the products by more well known terms such as:
- Commission %
- Dollars earned per sale
- Rank
- Popularity
- % of sales made by affiliates
- As well as the conversion rate of the product which is a HUGE factor in helping determing how well you may do per 100 visitors.
Additionally, Click2Sell allows PayPal as a payment processor, something that ClickBank does not except for recurring subscriptions – See this post. This will be a huge plus for many people.
However, unlike ClickBank who acts as a third party when it comes time to pay affiliates, Click2Sell leaves the payments up to the vendor supplying the product. This could be a downside for those who are concerned that they may not get paid their commissions. It is a plus with ClickBank that they handle all of the payments and send you a check every two weeks.
The second downside is that Click2Sell doesn’t have as many products as ClickBank does but I expect that to be changing as the company grows.
I really believe that Click2Sell has a large future with many merchants as well as affiliates checking out what they have to offer and giving them a try.
While ClickBank has an almost cult-like following, the company has made some decisions in the past that have not made merchants nor affiliates happy.
As an affiliate you now have a second option open to you, so take advantage of both streams of revenue.
