Hidden Treasures
 

If you ever take the time to check out similar sites in your niche you will probably notice that everyone is pretty much pushing the same sponsors using the same banners and the same pictures etc. I know if I were a surfer that would bore the crap out of me. Taking in the account that we pretty much swap the same traffic around getting a sale almost boils down to chance.

Surfer goes to site A and sees ebonystarfuckers.com being promoted and likes it but isn't ready to buy at that moment, if he sees ebonystarfuckers.com on site B he will just signup through site B. I remember I tried out a fairly new program and gave it a mid range push I was getting between 6-9 signups a day @ $35 a pop for the first month. Once other sites starting pushing it and the party was over. If you think other Webmasters don't check out your operation then you better get with it ;-)

If I come across a non-mainstream site that catches my eye and has something to offer I ask myself if I were a porn surfer would I hit that JOIN button? If the answer is yes then I'll give the site a chance. In my most recent test of a non-mainstream site I was pretty surprised with the results initially I was getting about 4 signups a day I made a few changes on how I was promoting it and one day it hit 9 signups, currently I'm getting between 3-5 signups a day which is additional money that I was missing out on prior to promoting the site and its recurring ;-).

I remember when a site that is EVERYWHERE now first came out I peeped that site before they had their banners ready. I pushed it lightly and it generated a few steady sign ups, I stepped things up a little and it had a sweet conversion ratio. I was clocking between 4 - 9 signups a day every day, then people started catching on to the site and the signups slowed down, the sweet thing is that it was a recurring 50/50 program and I'm still making good money from the recurring sales.

Try not to get caught up in the euphoria of the $30 - $45 per sign ups being offered and not pay attention to the other less popular sites that offer less per sign up. The logic is you can have one program that pays $35 per sign up and maybe get 1-3 a day if your lucky, or you could have a lower paying program that pays $10 (plus recurring) a day and your getting steady signups.

Think outside of the box but at the same time remember to keep up with the trends. Remember nothing tried - Nothing done.
