Best Days and Hours for Sales Conversions

admin — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 04:13:01 +0000

There is always a much speculation regarding the optimum time to sell a product. Clearly, this is reliant on your specific product (financial products convert better during working hours), but I thought I would take a closer look at this and uncover conversion stats on the optimum time of day, as well as the optimum day of week for getting conversions for a product or offer.

This data is founded on millions of clicks from US centered campaigns. I believe these stats are very much equal with what marketers accept as best converting time-frames, but if you find yourself low on funds, and have to pick and choose which time of day to drive your offers on various traffic sources, this will be useful:

Best hours during the day for conversions, (Eastern Standard Time-New York,USA) in the order of best to worst:

1.) 12pm

2.) 1pm

3.) 11am

4.) 10am

5.) 3pm

6.) 2pm

7.) 9am

8.) 4pm

9.) 8pm

10.) 5pm

11.) 9pm

12.) 10pm

13.) 8am

14.) 6pm

15.) 7pm

16.) 11pm

17.) 7am

18.) 12am

19.) 6am

20.) 5am

21.) 1am

22.) 2am

23.) 4am

24.) 3am

Single Day Of Week best to worst;

1.) Monday (20%),

2.) Tuesday (19%)

3.) Wednesday (15%)

4.) Sunday (13%)

5.) Thursday (12%)

6.) Saturday (11%)

7.) Friday (10%)

Summary: If you need to find the best likelihood of winners, begin your campaigns on Monday in the late morning/early afternoon, and pause late nights/early mornings plus Friday and Saturdays. Its clear that Americans spend more money online during working hours-weekdays.

What Is A CPA Network?

admin — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:12:36 +0000

A CPA network is a business that enables advertisers and web publishers
(internet marketers) to connect with each other.

CPA networks have grown up from the days of affiliate scams.

In fact, one of the main functions a CPA network performs is to make sure that both web publisher (marketer) and the advertiser(vendor or merchant) are reputable, solid players.

Choose recognized and reputable CPA networks, and use intelligent marketing tactics, and your business should never have a problem with credibility.

How Does It Work?

So far, it sounds remarkably like affiliate marketing, doesn’t it? But there are some vital differences it helps to learn right away.

Both rely on internet marketers to market their products. The major difference between the two is the CPA network’s emphasis on many times having affiliates generating leads, rather than sales. It’s usually less labor-intensive – you don’t have to do the sort of ongoing promotion affiliate marketing requires.

And in case you’re wondering what I mean by “generating leads”, that means having site visitors act by filling out a form with some sort of personal contact information. E-mail address or even zip code.

After that, your part is done – except for collecting your payment! It really is that easy.

You start small at first, with email and zip code cost per action ads. As your skills grow, add in cost per acquisition to promote higher–ticket items.

CPA networks can be particular about who they accept. They publishers who are going to take aggressive action, and sometimes they may require highly ranked websites. This doesn’t sound too promising for a new marketer, but don’t get ahead of yourself here.

On the other side, CPA networks are inclined to reward publishers who generate solid results. This can be in the form of awards, bonuses, cash – and being offered exclusive, highly-converting offers. This doesn’t happen much with affiliate marketing.

CPA is often considered slightly fly-by-night by internet marketers – but we can blame that squarely on the shoulders of the “black hat” sites. Another little-known fact: There are large, well known brands in the CPA market, and you can find yourself promoting a product with as huge a reputation as UnderArmour or Nike .

Positives

One pro of signing up with a decent CPA network like Azoogle or Neverblueads: They’ve already weeded out these fly-by- night advertisers for you.

There are advantages and drawbacks to this method of producing income – but the benefits often outweigh the disadvantages.

Once you get down to it, if you can automate your business and you are a smart marketer you can make 1,000,000 per year or more. This is not to say everybody or even most people will do this, it’s just to say that it’s possible. I know one marketer making $5-$10,000 per day in profit, but he is at the pinnacle and has a team of people to help him.

What Is CPA?

admin — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 07:59:31 +0000

The phrase “CPA” sounds about as thrilling as accounting terms would sound to a hang-gliding enthusiast. It’s typically used in this acronym form because the person thinks you know what it is.

Acronyms (short forms based on initials of words in titles) threaten people, as a result lots of new internet entrepreneurs shy away from CPA which is sad as “CPA” merely means “Cost Per Action” or “Cost Per Acquisition”.

Cost Per Action is that your site visitor has to take a specific action
(E.G. submit a valid email address, zip code, or signup to a free .)
the fact is that “action” can mean almost anything in today’s marketing world.

Cost Per Acquisition usually means that your visitor must actually buy a product or service.

Articles that talk about CPA cannot compete for attention with “Make a six figure income overnight with no work!”.

But whether you choose to concentrate on Cost Per Action or Cost Per Acquisition, CPA marketing has one common denominator: It is a form of advertising generated by a third party in which you are paid for hosting or promoting that party’s ad or link, and centered precisely on actions taken by your page visitors.

Your revenue can be generated by completed actions for the advertiser who is going to pay you:

New subscriber sign up

Purchase of a product

Sales lead for your advertiser’s further follow up

How much can you earn? It depends on you as does everything else in this world. Typically not millions. New subscriber signups usually generate between $1.00 to $1.50 per lead. You definitely won’t get rich overnight.

But if you are doing 1000-3000 of them per day, then well… or if you combine simple Cost Per Action with some well-chosen Cost Per Acquisitions, your payout can be a great deal higher. For example, if you’re promoting a big-ticket item that costs $500, your commission could be anywhere from $30-$100 on a sale. Some of those combined with a lot of simple “just submit” emails or zip codes can earn a fine income for you.

When your operation is set up, it’s a painless method to add additional income generation from your web sites. You can really go full ahead and setup for just this kind of conversion, go buy some quality traffic and track it, test it and maybe build a list while you’re at it. Start testing 3-7 offers at the time to find those that are profitable. more to come.

Why Internet Entrepreneur?

Take any group of 100 people at the start of their working career and follow them for 40 years until they reach retirement age and here’s what you’ll find, according to the Social Security Administration:

Only 1 will be wealthy

4 will be financially secure

5 will continue working, not because they want
to but because they have to

36 will be dead

54 will be dead broke – dependent on the meager Social Security checks,
relatives, friends and even charity for a minimum standard of living.

Which will you be?
