Today's Lesson: Upselling and Maximizing Revenue
 
Okay folks. You all know how to signup for a sponsor, put up galleries or load up your TGP with hosted galleries. You know how to setup an AVS and Freesite as well as a Linklist. Basically, you know how to sell porn.
The reason you're reading this is because you would like some Tips and Tricks on how you can take traffic that is not necessarily going to buy your porn (or your specific niche), and try to get it to buy into other products.

I'm going to give you a real life example of the most common upsell type. But you would never think of it this way:
A Grocery Store. Think about it. You're walking down the isle and see a new product or something you have never tried before. So you put it in your buggy. OR you pick up a product you would not have otherwise, simply because the price is $1.99 down from $3.49.

As you can see a common task in mainstream utilizes upsells. Every company in the world does the exact same.

So why has it taken the adult webmaster SO LONG to catch up? Some of us have been shaking our heads wondering the exact same thing. But no one has the answer to that question.
It's time that adult webmasters from TGP to paysite owners start upselling products to surfers. And I'm going to show you some very basic ways to do it.

First off: You never know what your surfer is looking for. They may come in on a blind click from a Teen niche to your Teen site. But in reality they really want some tranny content. Bottom line is they may not even know it yet.
The best way to approach this sort of surfer market is to at least offer it to them. Make an "alternate product" table. Link to some sites "GirlFucksGuy: Women sticks it to the men". And why not, you may have women surfers stumble across your site. "BackDoorTwinks: Gay Men get it on" - you may have some bi curious surfers.

Get creative, and be diverse! Remember that we're not just selling porn. Try selling Cigarettes. You may find that surfers are easily persuaded into purchasing discounted Tobacco online. You don't know until you try!
The most important thing to remember is that you will not LOSE sales by diversifying. You will only pick up your revenue.

Can't sell Cigs? Okay how about selling Penis Pills?
Better question: Why not put up a 4 word text link for BOTH products and see what happens? Qualify the clicks and send it to the sponsor. You may only be able to send a small amount of volume- but you may make a sale out of it. A FREE sale. Something you would not have gotten otherwise.

Scenario 1: Jose visits your Teen TGP from a skim click from another Teen TGP. But when he hits your site he decides that he is tired of looking at solo girls. He wants to see some Hardcore sex. But your site doesn't have any Hardcore- so Jose closes your site and goes back to Google to search.

Scenario 2: Michael visits your MILF AVS and decides to join. During the surfing he notices that he can enter his email address and get free access to Asian pictures. He's always wanted to join an Asian site, so he enters his email address to join.

Scenario 3: Herbert just finished beating off in your members area to his favorite pornstar. He has to go clean up. As soon as he gets back, he sees a popup in the members area that says "Tired of beating off with your small dick? Make it bigger!". He is turned on by the Money back guarantee. So he clicks and purchases a 3 month supply.


Scenario 2 and 3 both just sold a product, while the same old Joe Webmaster sold nothing. Why? 2 + 3 upsold to the surfer. Pretty damn easy and pretty damn profitable!


You've read enough to see that upselling is the easiest way to keep your surfers clicking your links and buying your products. By NOT adding diversity to your sites you are LITERALLY throwing away traffic- as the surfer closes out your site and never comes back. Why simply toss away traffic that you can sell to? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
I don't think that anyone would be opposed to a 10% raise in pay for putting up a couple of links.

-----------------------------------

The number ONE upseller right now is Epic Mail. These remote boxes are bringing in staggering signup numbers and putting coin in your pocket. Online Smoke City is also converting under 1:100 which is GREAT! You can take advantage of both of these upsell opportunities inside of Epic Cash.

Agreed - and whether he wrote it himself or got someone else to write it for him doesn't matter.

The fact is that advice is golden.

jayeff 03-19-2004 02:51 PM

Good post: you may not be all bad after all ;)

Makes you wonder why more sponsors don't put an effort into this area. If the cliché about 20% earning 80% of the money is true, the main potential for growth is among the 80% who haven't got it right yet. Good way to build loyalty too.

SykkBoy 03-19-2004 03:01 PM

Great advice Trey!

a lot of paysite owners could take lessons in upsells as well and they wouldn't be AS nervous about bottomlines and tempted to switch on the shave...

mindoza 03-19-2004 03:03 PM

Great advise!!!!!!!!!!!!...
I am coming from a total mainstream business(production facility) Our big thing was one stop shopping so we sold things we did not produce but we new our customers would need..cause if they look for something else they might find that the other company sells the same thing you do plus what they were looking for You just LOST the customer

Jer 03-19-2004 03:11 PM

A great thing that appeals to MANY MANY surfers is Adult Toys and Novelties. If you sign up with me you will earn 30% on all sales. And its as simple as adding a 2 line code to your website to place a banner. Why would yo unot try it? There is no minimum for payout. Im a nubie and Ive made just under 2000 dollars since febuary 26th just by adding the toy banners to my sites. Which I would have made nothing off of otherwise. And just to make sure I sont steal traffic from myself, I type target="_blank" in the href url so it opens a seperate page and leaves the one they were on so they can go back to it without hitting the back button... it makes sence, never steal traffic from yourself.

BradM 03-20-2004 02:46 PM

Nice shameless plug baer.

Darren 03-22-2004 03:24 AM

Its sooo true, jsut putting on the bottomo of a gallery "our pornstars use www.prosolutionpills.com" can net you a $50-$100 sale :)

good advice.

Pun 03-22-2004 03:38 AM

Great info. Like someone said earlier, it's a bit of time and work adding upsells to pages but the rewards are worth the effort.

BradM 03-27-2004 06:46 PM

Ok someone said this was old and they wanted a new lesson.
What you want an article on?
