<h3>IM Remarkable Offer Page &#8220;before&#8221;</h3>
<p>I spent most of my time concentrating on the product &#8211; despite being just a free bonus for signing up to someone else&#8217;s promotion, I wanted it to have both value and longevity.</p>
<p>Whilst in the legal paperwork I placed emphasis on the &#8220;casual&#8221; nature of selection, I spent significant time on each niche rooting out great offers, uncovering a few pitfalls etc.<br />
Even some of the Clickbank offers I highlighted had a gravity as low as &#8220;0&#8243; nada, ziltch, but had great landing pages, credibility, sometimes even celebrity branding to help conversion rates.</p>
<div id="attachment_2017" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://nicheexposed.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-2017" title="IM Remarkable Bonus - Howie Schwartz - Old Version" src="http://cdn5.andybeard.name/wp-content/uploads/IM-Remarkable-Bonus-Howie-Schwartz-Old-Version.jpg" alt="IM Remarkable Bonus - Howie Schwartz - Old Version" width="500" height="648" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">IM Remarkable Bonus - Howie Schwartz - Old Version</p></div>
<h3>IM Remarkable Offer Page &#8220;After&#8221;</h3>
<div id="attachment_2018" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://nicheexposed.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-2018" title="IM Remarkable Bonus - Howie Schwartz - new" src="http://cdn5.andybeard.name/wp-content/uploads/IM-Remarkable-Bonus-Howie-Schwartz-new.jpeg" alt="IM Remarkable Bonus - Howie Schwartz - New Version Of Free Offer" width="500" height="1112" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">IM Remarkable Bonus - Howie Schwartz - New Version Of Free Offer</p></div>
<p>The bonus offers system was experimental and early results suggested needed some tweaking</p>
<ul>
<li>More people signed up for Howie&#8217;s bonus than so far claimed mine (even though people already on Howie&#8217;s list who signed up through someone else any time in the past could get my bonus) &#8211; I expected some differences, but not to that extent.</li>
<li>Some people filled out the form but didn&#8217;t provide enough of the email for the matching system &#8211; these I processed manually.</li>
<li>Some people I could see on Howie&#8217;s affiliate back-end (downloading a CSV), signed up, but claimed the bonus without entering one of Howie&#8217;s emails &#8211; I deemed that enough justification to send them the download. The intent was there.</li>
<li>A few people tried to spoof the bonus system &#8211; it isn&#8217;t infallible, but it isn&#8217;t stupid either.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ultimately I decided I need to make things a little easier for those with honest intent, though it does provide a hint at what is happening, and removes part of the filtering.</p>
<h3>Greater Emphasis On Value Proposition</h3>
<p>Anyone who has been watching the free videos Stompernet have been publishing over the last week for their <a title="Double Your Profits" href="http://andybeard.eu/adtrackz/go.php?c=f5">Formula 5 launch</a> would know that if you invest more time in explaining the value and benefits of your offer to your prospects, you can charge more.</p>
<p>The same is true as an affiliate, though then it could be looked on as pre-selling</p>
<p>In a situation where you are offering a bonus as an affiliate, either for a sale, or just for a lead as in this case, you need to explain the value and benefits of both the target offer, and your additional bonus or bribe.</p>
<h3>JV Opportunity?</h3>
<p>There is a &#8220;latent&#8221; JV opportunity here, but until the landing page can be shown to boost opt-in rate compared to direct traffic, any JV would be a fool to send me traffic, even with the rebranding.<br />
The traffic that is worth sending would be people who through segmentation are known to have opened an email, clicked through to Howie&#8217;s offer, and not converted into a lead.<br />
I doubt there are many people segmenting their list to that extent.</p>
<h3>Viral?</h3>
<p>I doubt I will achieve enough critical mass for any hope of viral momentum, unless I &#8220;stack the cool&#8221; a little more on my free offer&#8230; yes affiliates can do that too.</p>
