Some affiliates prefer to send traffic to a sales page that does NOT have an email squeeze page or opt in form. Some affiliates DO. This month, we are providing both options and the new no-opt in sales page has just gone live.

Many affiliates who DO want a squeeze page have told us that they prefer NOT to send traffic to a "sales letter" or direct "sales pitch" of any kind. They feel more comfortable sending traffic to an article or to a free report that can be obtained by opting in. This way, the affiliate doesn't feel like they are "selling" at all - they are sharing content or free information.

Affiliates who Do NOT want to send traffic to a squeeze page have given us a few different reasons why:

One is that they fear the conversion rates are lower. This is one thing you don't have to worry about. We are among the most fanatical split testers on the internet. We have MANY different landing pages, but we NEVER make anything our control unless it is our best converting page. Our current control does not have a forced squeeze (required opt in), but it does have an inline opt in form below the headline. We tested that to the hilt before we got it to equal or slightly beat our last control. It is our highest converting sales letter on first visit. Not only that, the conversion goes up over time due to our email follow up, so affiliates actually end up converting higher after at least three weeks (and clickbank cookies last 60 days).

Another reason is that some affiliates have great relationships with their lists, and they have promoted products with a squeeze page before and then for weeks after the opt in, their subscribers (now also the vendor's subscribers) get pummeled with sales pitches for other people's products. As anyone in the entire clickbank fitness space knows, I do not participate heavily in the affiliate promotion circle. If one of your subscribers opts in and becomes one of our subscribers, they will not get spammed with countless offers from "our buddies." We do only a few affiliate offers per year. When we do sales promos, it is 90% of the time, for our own product, so that we make you more sales.

A final reason we've heard is actually not a specific reason per se, it's simply that the affiliate doesn't want to "share" his or her list with us or have us "scrape" emails from their list onto ours. In one sense, that is short-sighted because we KNOW our opt in does NOT decrease conversion, in fact, our email follow up INCREASES your affiliate conversion rate over time. On the other hand, we realize that there is so much cross-affiliate marketing going on these days, that many "friends" in the industry don't even have much of a unique list of their own - the lists all overlap heavily. Therefore, we understand and respect this request completely.

So now you have the option to use our main page (control) or this special landing page with no opt in, whichever suits your list and your marketing style the best.

Best converting sales page (control) with NO emamil opt-in NEW!

PPS. We have a LOT going on this month - lots of promotion opportunities so please stay tuned. In the next affiliate update we will be providing you with the opt in /squeeze page if you DO want to send into a free report for an opt in page. The first new report will be the newly revised and updated (for 2012) "BIG FAT LIES" mini course (as mentioned above). We're bringing it back (updated) because so many affiliates asked what happened to it, and because after testing with and without it - the BIG FAT LIES mini course was our best autoresponder sequence ever. Stand by... it's coming back soon!
