I have already begun creating some niche research videos and they will be up here soon (look for them on the weekend). One thing that I’ve realized through my conversations with several people who purchased ABB through my link is that I have marketers of all different levels in terms of skill and experience. This presented me with a challenge…do I cover the basics and risk upsetting those who are more advanced…or do I cover the advanced stuff and risk confusing those who are new?
I came to the conclusion that I should really try to cover everything. The most important thing to me is that I deliver videos that will give everyone a process to follow to get affiliate campaigns launched. And obviously that process will be based on what X teaches in the Affiliate Black Book. In this game, the more offers you put out there, the more money you will make…and having a core process that you can follow over and over again is key to getting alot of campaigns up and running.
So what I’ve decided to start off with is a case study. I will film myself researching a niche, locating and analyzing products to sell, researching keywords, setting up my blog/landing pages, and then setting up my PPC campaigns.
In the videos that I’ve done so far, I have laid out how I personally do things. But as I’m going through the process, I may stop along the way to explain what I’m doing and why. For example, I just made a video where I am researching the ClickBank marketplace. During the video, I stopped to explain what the numbers under each product mean and why I look at them. So I explained how to tell the commission rate, how much you will make per sale, what gravity means, etc.
For many, this will be very basic and honestly it may bore you. But I know there are others that will find it beneficial as they are just getting started and have not setup any campaigns in the past. So I ask you more experienced marketers out there to just bare with me as i go through some fundamentals and basics. I will get to the advanced stuff. I just want to make the videos as detailed as possible so they help everyone.
By the end of this case study, it is my sincere hope that everyone who watches these videos will be able to duplicate the process – regardless of their experience level.
On another note, it has been brought to my attention that the comments are not working as they should. It seems that you can leave comments on the “pages” such as the “About” page…but the comments for the posts are not working. I thought I had screwed up the settings at first but I checked them and they are correct.
So it is my belief that the problem is being caused by the membership site plugin I’m using. I am going back and forth with support trying to get this fixed. As of this writing, support could not figure out what was causing the problem so they referred it to a programmer. I am awaiting the response from the programmer. I really want to get the comments working so that I can get feedback and answer questions as we go through the case study.
I will get this worked out somehow so that we can have the open discussion that I promised.
OK, I think that’s it. I will put my first few videos up this weekend. I’ll shoot out an email as soon as they are up.
