Want To Hire An Affiliate Consultant For Our Desktop Offer

Hi there,
long story short: we have our win desktop antivirus offer live on maxbounty and matomy and it is not converting. We are looking for an experienced affiliate who could help us out tweak our offer.

I understand serious affiliates earn enough $ on their own but I also think this consulting could be an interesting diversification of your daily routine activities.

So do not hesitate and PM me your hourly rate...or recommend me someone who might be interested. Thank you!

You can ask the network (as an affiliate) for the top offers by revenue; and look for similar offers like yours, then get a proxy/vpn and go through them yourself and see how its structured.

What Attila said.

Also: Why not just show your offer to us to get feedback from the community first? It's not like you have anything to hide if the offer is already accessible on 2 aff networks. Could be a great way to get valuable feedback for free.

Good affiliates tend to hate price negotiation, and hourly arrangements, so I would recommend you switch up your approach a little bit to get a better response.

Maybe start with showing people your offer (possibly a screenshot or two), and let people know the 1 or 2 numbers your looking to increase.

I'd also name what you're willing to pay upfront (whether its some sort of flat rate, profit-share, etc).

Hope that helps.

Are you using any sort of analytics for your funnel to see where people are jumping off? How about recording software so you can actually see for yourself where the visitors are bailing. What also works is having a live chat feature so you can get feedback directly from visitors on your site. As an advertiser as well as a marketer, it's ABT ( always be testing). How many different variations have you made of your funnel? What type of CR are you seeing? Lots of things to look at!

Wow, a lot of valuable tips! Thanks a lot guys...yes, sure I have nothing to hide, so here it goes:

Some of the LP's:
http://weeklynewspost.com/new-bizarr...rgeting-women/
http://he-is-watching-you.org/new-on...ety-warning-3/ the video is long but according to a lot of CB sellers and Drew Eric Whitman - if the prospect is interested he will keep watching.

We do a lot of A/B testing with them and some similar LP's (delayed buttons/different pics, headlines etc.)

Offer: http://secureprivacy.com/free-trial/

Main problem: the /free-trial conversion rate is just ridiculous ~0.1% A/B testing is not helping there. There are a lot of things we could optimize like speed but there is something very wrong with the foundation of our strategy and we need to fix it first.

The video is scary, which is good, have you checked the following:

1. How big of a % of all visitors watch the video?
2. How long do they on average watch into the video, find out where they drop off and possibly why.
You can prob identify segments of the video where nobody drops off, meaning that segment was likely very captivating, and you can identify segments of the video where many dropped off, meaning you may want to cut that segment out or move it away.

And for the CC submit page, maybe divide it into multiple pages, and ask for the CC at the end. Put forth the easiest decisions first, and make the user click "YES" or "CONFIRM" as many times as possible before asking for the CC, do google analytics event tracking or something similar, and look at where users fall off.

Do you expect your affs to run it with aggressive angles like "WARNING: YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED - (6) People Have Been WATCHING YOU Through Your Laptop Camera", or fake scans? Genuinely curious of whether advertisers consider this, or assume it'll be run 100% clean.

I've tried to make it scary so thanks for the compliment

According to wistia stats about 5-6% watch the entire video. The watchability drop is consistent so it's hard to identify "boring" parts after ~50k views (https://gyazo.com/f61029319a9897a5c7bd5ee47be63e78)

Good idea regarding the "YES" or "CONFIRM" part - we will definitely test this out in a near future. Hopefully it would make a difference in our conversion %.

Yes, I consider this and now I do not care if some greyish methods like fake scans are used as long as we get conversions. It is a powerful software that should be really useful for security conscious individuals so I think the majority would stay with the service even after a "fake scan" sell...also it is psychologically hard to cancel a service that protects your PC from scary hijackers.

Whoa 17:28 is a really really long video, would expect the ones who watch all the way through to be high converting...

If this isn't breaking any laws you could offer them a "free scan" to see how exposed they are / how insecure their computer is, then offer them a free trial to secure it.

Having had a look at that graph, I'd focus hard on the first 30 sec of the video. You've got a very steep dropoff there - if you can get more people to watch the first minute you'll be in with a good shot.

Do you have any idea WHY people are leaving? If not, you could try an exit pop asking that very question. You'll be surprised how often people will give you useful feedback on something like that!

I have a bunch of suggestions for things to test, but before I go into those - what have you tried so far in terms of split-tests on the video and copy on the video page?

Also, one specific thing that I'd recommend testing even though it sounds insane: have you tried testing a non-autoplay version of the video?

(Oh, one other thing I just thought of - have you split-tested a content warning? Something like "Warning: this video contains shocking and disturbing content". It'd only work with a non-autoplay version - the reasoning here is basically to get psychological buy-in for the very aggressive opening of the video, so people don't close it reflexively. You can just watch the engagement stats on the video to see if it's having an effect, no need to wait for statistical significance on the conversions.)

Personally I think the whole thing looks very scammy. Do your prospective clientele feel the same?

There are many formatting and layout issues and and the whole language looks "iffy."

“I like SP cause it cheap compared to what is available on the market" Someone actually speaks like this?

There are just too many small things slightly wrong, that for me purchasing this would likely put me in more threat of something happening than if i got out of there as fast as possible. Its a bit like confronting the bogeyman, I would hazard a guess that the women you are targeting would far rather walk away than sit through the video and potentially risk what you are trying to protect them against.

For your advertorial style prelander I would test putting the video on top of the prelander.

On top of this your call to action says "Click here to Check your privacy status" and get protected but when I click there is no "privacy status check on the offer page.

This page is doing good with native traffic and their offer is similar to yours. You cna get some good ideas from them to improve your own offering

no need for a paid consultant, you can get all the AM advice straight from the STM forum
