Ok, I just looked at your program and your paysite. Let me give you some advice, since you're asking for it.
PLEASE know I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to be constructive, to help you succeed.
1. Spend the money on a new affiliate and paysite design. Every last penny of it.
The sites look amateur, and not in an "ooh amateur sells really well!" sort of way, but in a "no way in hell i'm sending my traffic to these people" way.
Spend the $1,000 on a designer. There are several good ones out there that aren't too expensive. Granted for $1,000 on 2 sites you're not going to get some fancy flash extravaganza, but you can end up with something that looks "amateur but professional", which is what you should be going for.
2. After that's done, and you have a product someone might be willing to promote, here's how to get their attention:
A. Do fansigns! Breeders love them! You'll get 2 good sized threads out of these. One where you announce them, and one where you deliver them. You WILL pick up affiliates this way.
That's free.
B. Come up with a funny/interesting video series, as those always do well, but add a sexy kick to it:
"Jen's Advice On Fingering A Whore (VIDEO INSIDE)". That thread would get the views. Make a good 3 minute video, mention your program in it a bunch of times, maybe pick on a few well known webmasters in it, have it watermarked with your program url.
That's free.
C. Then it's just a matter of thinking of different ways to deliver your message.
Keep the hype going. One of the biggest mistakes I see programs make on here is they run 1 promo and then get bitchy that they aren't seeing 200 new affiliates a week later. Marketing is about pounding your message into people's heads over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Repetition is the secret to SUCCESSFUL marketing. When you get tired of doing it, and when people start bitching about seeing your ass too much, is when you know you're on the right track. KEEP GOING! |
