The price of a digital product is decided by the quality of the product. A good quality product even if priced very high may sell very well, whereas one of a low quality and a lower price may not sell at all. You will find similar types of product prices anywhere from say $25 to $50 or you may find some priced at $150. A comparison between the quality of the two will show you that the one priced higher may be of a better quality and has thus been selling well for some time now.

Hey John,

You are right. The best way to make sales to your list is to help them getting what they want. In fact, they should beg you to buy stuff from you.

Hi John

Superb post JT…

I’ve learned ALL the above tips you mention by simply watching ethical marketers like yourself.

Remember my promotion for YOUR mentoring masterclass for example?

1. I looked out for my subscribers BECAUSE I knew putting some of them under YOUR wing would be great not ONLY for them, but for me in the future as THEY would thank me for it. Everyone knows you online john, and you are a trusted name.

2. I prepared the MOST unique bonus out there throughout your launch week, which helped me finish in the top 3 affiliates and the #1 affiliate for the first month.

3. I got pre-promotion access for the masterclass and KNEW it would be a huge success, (I don’t promote CRAP).

ALL these tips have helped me see some great success, and I’m currently choosing an office premises to move into this week! (You can help me decide on my blog, just click my name!)

So apply what John says, and it could happen for you too, cheers John…

Regards

Ray

Excellent Post John!

the first one is a common mistake, I even remember seing an email from a very famous markerter (he recently launched a hardcopy book) that had one of the default link place holders still in the middle of the copy, he’d obvously just grabbed the standard promo email and rushed it out without checking it thoroughly…
lol!

cheers,

Great post
You have identified the main reason that
my inbox is full of emails that I never open. From time to time I go through them and delete- 99% are unread.Your posts on the other hand are 99% read.

all the best,
Paul

Very good points there John, “1) You didn’t write your own email copy.” had me nodding, I’ve often had the exact same email subject lines flooding my inbox on big launches, obviously after I’ve read the first email the rest get ignored.

Thanks for that John, tips like those come in very handy for us newbies.

Paul.

Hi John,

Thanks for the wonderful post. You’re right, we have to stand out from our competitors, that means, be unique! One thing to consider especially during affiliate promotion, is we need to edit or change the content a little bit, as long as the meaning stays the same, that is also including the email copies that we are sending.

Thank you again John, you rocked on this!

Regards,

Gary David

Hi John,

Wise words. To much hype is one sure way to get your subcribers to click on the UN-SUBCRIBE button. And using the same promo’ emails that everyone else does will not entice anyone to click through your link either.

Cheers John,

Bonus’s Bonus’s! We all love em’. If, as a prospective customer, I am lined up with a product that interests me, it can often be the bonus that will tip the scale (assuming off course that it has value to me). As it stands now, I am on too many lists, so a generic cookie cutter email will get deleted pretty fast. It is only a few of my favorites that I read, or sometimes a subject will catch my eye….
Point being, if you market this way, you list will likely respond the same. Build credibility, recommend only quality and offer only quality as a bonus. In between, offer lots of free tips/info applicable to your list.

Thanks John!

good points John…that’s why I signed up from you…because you offer the bonuses…that’s a BIG KEY that really makes the list feel good as well…

after i see you offer bonuses and someone else just promoting that link, i feel that other person is not trustworthy because they are just telling me about some new launch WITHOUT THEM telling me that they will make commission from me…

interestingly, in the last launch you ADMITTED you will make money from us buying from your link…and that was actually something that MADE ME want to buy from you…because it was 100% honesty and openess…nothing hiding from us…u know…

plus, the bonuses made another benefit as well…i’m going to start doing the same thing when i promote affiliate programs

thanks!
BJ
