Promoting Commission Spyder

Article map > Welcome > FAQ > Viral Internet marketing

Advertising any product is an inexact science. There doesn't appear, to me, to be a right way or a wrong way of doing it. What I can outline here is what I have done to promote Commission Spyder. Because of the clever and intricate nature of the program, and how you can promote several programs with a single url, Commission Spyder is a great program to promote, because you get multiple bites of the cherry!

The most critical part of ANY promotion, is the headline you choose. In fact, as you will discover, I rarely change the ad! What I have do is change the headline.

What you have to remember is that you get a fleeting opportunity to get your ad read. If your are anything like me, you get to see hundreds of emails a day, and it has to be something special that catches my attention.

The same must hold true for you, and for the programs you promote.

If you don't catch your prospects attention with the headline, you might as well bin your offer, no matter how good it is. It won't get read.

So, for Commission Spyder, I have, as I mentioned, used mainly the one ad. There is a small caveat to this, in that some programs like Traffic Swarm, (you ARE using Traffic Swarm, aren't you?), do not allow large adverts. What I have done in this case, is taken part of the main ad, and used it to great effect in such places.

Notes

•	I might alter small parts of the ad, add a custom paragraph possibly, but the bulk of the ad is the same as that supplied by Bram Smith of Commission Spyder.
•	I always try and add and AOL link to my adverts. If it is the spur to allow a few extra people to go to the site that I am promoting, then it doesn't hurt. My tests indicate that doing this has a positive effect.
•	Notice how the advert is formatted. The lines are very short. The reason for this is because your prospects may not have their email client (such as Outlook) in full screen mode. If that is the case, what they see will be restricted, and it is better that they can see your whole message, without having to scroll across.

Main Advert 2

Despite the great success of Bram's initial advert, there will always come a time when you should change it. I started by changing the headlines around (with some success) and keeping the same ad, but then I changed the ad around as well.

Coupled with the 'Promote 10 Programs With 1 URL' headline, I had a sudden resurgence of sign ups with the following ad:-

Prepare to see the neatest, slickest
money making opportunity on the web
today.

Promote 1 url, and benefit automatically
from dozens of potential income streams.

Discover how a single promotion could make
you a stunning residual income.

Notice that I use 2 urls all the time. I embed one in HTML for AOL users. Anything which might get that extra click thru.

I also promote this help site. It is not something I usually do, but because there is a direct link to the main promotion, I think that it is ok. I also think that people find it comforting that someone is actually trying to help them, rather then by taking their money and leaving them to it. I also think that it has improved my Pro upgrades significantly.

Small Advert

If you look at the main advert, you have three small ads in the first three paragraphs:-

Advert 1

You're about to discover the method we use to make as
much as $336 PER HOUR on the Internet. Despite what the
"gurus" might have you confused about, earning an income
online is really NOT ROCKET SCIENCE...

Advert 2

Advert 3

Allow me to tell you about a completely F^REE and
automated system for creating a cash income by
effortlessly promoting some of the most popular and
outstanding affiliate programs on the net...

Obviously you must ad your own url to these cases.

Headlines

As I mentioned earlier, to my mind, the Headline is the most critical part of the whole marketing process.

But it gets worse!

If you look at your email client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora or whatever), how much of the subject line to do ACTUALLY see? Not much is it? And not everyone might have as much to see as you have, so you might have less then you can see.

And that is all you really have to work with your headline. Any more than that is wasted.

Tip. The headline must be short!

One trick that you can use in certain cases, and worked wonderfully for me with Commission Spyder, is to just use the name of the program as the headline. But there are some points to bear in mind.

•	This is a good trick if the name is catchy. It probably wouldn't have worked so well if Commission Spyder had been called 'Bram's Great Program'.
•	It will only work in the first few month's of the program. Once it has becomes established and the name is known, then using the name of the program could work against you.

Other headlines that I have used to great effect with Commission Spyder are

Psst! ... The Secret's Out.

Promote 10 Program, With 1 URL!

Create Multiple Income Streams from 1 URL

If you can embed the prospect's first name in the ad, then do it. Some Safelists allow this, and you should certainly have captured a first name in your own lists, so please make use of this information. Statistics tell us that peronalising the headline increases your chances of success.
