THE ICANPLAYDRUMS.COM
AFFILIATE PROGRAM!
OK, let it be said: this is not some
get rich quick scheme, MLM, pyramid or anything else of the sort. It's
simply an affiliate program... a what?
WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE
PROGRAM?
An affiliate program is for people who
own a related site (in this case drums/music) who can send traffic (people)
to our site, via a link or email advertisement etc. When any of the people
sent purchase from Icanplaydrums.com, the person who sent them (the
affiliate) makes a commission on the sale. And in our case, we offer a
40% commission on product! (The industry standard is 10%).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When you sign up for our affiliate
program, you get a special URL link that you use to send traffic through to
us. In any of your website links or email ads etc you use this link. Then
whenever someone comes to our site via this link, a cookie is placed on
them, and if they buy at ANY time (that day, 3 months later, a year later)
you get 40% of the purchase price. We send you a check every month
for the commissions you earn in that month.
SOUNDS A BIT SNEAKY..
IS JACK BEING SNEAKY?
It's a win/win situation. It costs
me nothing to have you send me traffic that may buy, and I earn 60% of the
price if they do. It costs you nothing to email people who come to your
site, on your mailing list, or have people click a link on your site to us.
You then earn 40% on a product that you don't even own nor ever had to
build! Think about that, if you tell your friend to go buy the latest Nike
shoes; Nike doesn't pay you 40% of the amount your friend spends do they?
Furthermore you don't have to worry about
sending the product, making it, customer service, follow up etc. You just
send the traffic and make a commission, if the traffic buys.
BUT WHAT IF I SEND
TRAFFIC AND THEY DON'T BUY?
First off if you have people click an
affiliate link or banner on your site and none of them buy from us, it
hasn't cost you anything. But that's not very encouraging is it? Here are
some real stats:
We convert 1-2 in 100 visitors to our
site into paying customers of UDS within 90 days, which as you know retails
for $69.95. The industry standard for most websites is 1 in 300 for a
product under $100.
SO WHAT KIND OF MONEY
CAN I EARN?
Depends entirely on how much traffic you
send and how qualified that traffic is. You must send qualified traffic!
IE drummers or musicians. If you own a website about gardening tools and
you tell them to click an affiliate link to a drum lesson website, don't
email us about poor conversions. But if you have, or want to start up, a
drum/music website that gets a fair bit of traffic you could expect the
following at 1% conversion on 40% commission:
100 visitors sent: $28
500 visitors sent: $140
1,000 visitors: $280
2,000 visitors: $560
10,000 visitors: $2,800
I know some drum websites that get 7,000
new visitors a day. Heck even if you have a friend who wants to buy UDS, you
can get $28 just for getting him to click your link. It's free for you after
all.
For those who are thinking "I know.. I'll
just rent one of those email lists with 300 million emails on it, surely
some of them will buy!" Bzzzzt thanks for playing. If you're going to do
email advertising, you have to use traffic that has opted in to YOUR ACTUAL
website.
Only when people have opted in to your
website (ie you gave me permission to email you because you signed for 60
lessons), can you legally email them. There's the CAN SPAM act in place now,
and contacting people out of the blue is spam.
We all know that 99% of the email rent
lists are spam lists, and we at Icanplaydrums.com and our Merchants
don't condone it.
So there you have it! That's an
affiliate program, and again we offer 40% which is way above normal. If you
want to join up and earn some cash, click here.
Happy drumming and green vegies,
Jack
