Hypnosis Affiliate Program Launch

[Dan Bainbridge]

This site has been nearly 1 year in the making. 6 months of heavy development, and 2+ months of LIVE testing.

Salespage: Hypnosis MP3s / CDs - Hypnosis Audio Downloads
Affiliate Area: Hypnosis Affiliate Program - 50% Commission
Choppers: We make people subscribe to get into our affilaite area, but if you don't want to just use the email address: guest@naturalhypnosis.com to login.
Commission: 50% on MP3 sales, 20% on CD sales.
Product Description: A big webstore selling hypnosis audio MP3s, and CDs in many different areas of weight loss, health, and personal development.

Mission Statement: To become the busiest hypnosis audio web-store online and to ensure our conversion rate is market leading (see current conversion stats below, hint, they're above 3% already) and make this site completely driven by affiliate sales.



Why this site will succeed:

Track record of success: We know we can achieve this mission statement within 18 months. We do things properly; you'll never see any overnight, untested mini sites popping up from us, just long term developed, tested, and heavily invested sites which launch ONLY when the conversion rate is good enough (and now it is). This is not our first product. We own 2 other large web-stores. We are experts at building, and marketing self help based web-stores. We know this formula inside out.

Partnered with an amazing hypnotist: For this website we have partnered with an amazing, and massively passionate hypnotist: Brennan Smith. He has a lot of experience, runs his own private hypnosis practice in Beverly Hills, California, and was previously on the executive board of the American Hypnosis Association. Not only does he have the qualifications and the knowledge to make this a success, but he is charismatic and extremely passionate about hypnosis, and he will feature more and more on the site into the future.

Conversion Rate is SOLID already: We have been testing for over 2 months now. We have put through a few hundred sales already, and on targeted, keyword focused visits the conversion rate is above 3%. Here is a snapshot of conversion rates across natural traffic from google:



This shows that our website converts on natural traffic which is keyword based from google - i.e. people looking for “improve memory hypnosis audio” or “stop smoking hypnosis cd” etc.

The conversion rate overall on these quality sources of traffic is 3.51%

* this weekend we are going to drive a lot more traffic through our email lists for our Independence Day sale, but we wanted to announce here in-case there is anyone who can jump on board straight away and send traffic this weekend.. see below for more info on this

I'm not embarrassed to say that this conversion rate is already BETTER than the regular conversion rate on my other site (subliminalmp3s.com). So with more albums to come in the future, when we really will have something for everyon,e we know this will get even better. This is without mentioning coupon codes and discounts - so far NO discounts have been given out, so this conversion rate is solid at 3%+ on FULL PRICES - in the future with discounts a regular part of the site (and during unique one off sales - see below) the conversion rate will increase even further.

Interest in this niche is huge: The keyword searches for terms such as "hypnosis downloads", "weight loss hypnosis", "stop smoking hypnosis" are huge. To give some perspective, without getting into too much depth - the search numbers for "subliminal cds" are 6,600 per month. The search numbers for "weight loss hypnosis" are 60,500 per month - i.e. the search numbers for JUST ONE niche area of hypnosis are 10x more than one of the core keywords for my other entire site! (subliminalmp3s.com - in the subliminal niche)...

... this is without getting into the search numbers for other hypnosis niche areas such as stop smoking hypnosis, confidence hypnosis, memory hypnosis, motivation hypnosis.... and then without mentioning the huge buyer focused core keywords such as hypnosis downloads, hypnosis audio, hypnosis mp3s, hypnosis cds... this niche is huge, YOU can carve out a very healthy chunk of it!

Lots of affiliate materials: Already we have: Banners, articles (all pre-spun, and we will be adding more each month), emails, keywords / PPC advice. We take our affiliates seriously, all materials are simple to copy and paste and use straight away, and over the next few months and beyond you will see our affiliate materials grow and grow.

Starting With a Bang For Independence Day!

This independence day we are having a quick sale - from the 2nd to the 4th July (over 3 days) we will be discounting the prices of MP3s and CDs by 30%. We will be emailing our newsletter, and we will have a countdown banner on the top of all pages:



Again, this is a part of our proven formula and something we have done very successfully on our other sites. This might be short notice for many of you, but no worries - it is actually a bit of a test, as we plan to repeat this on the 8th August next month - with an "official website launch" sale, and to have cash prizes for top affiliates ($1000 for first place)... but more on this nearer the time... stand by next week as I will publish the conversion rate and results of this sale.

If you have sites, if you have lists already then you can get involved in this sale:

If you are new, as excited about this niche as we are (I doubt it, you wouldn't believe how excited I am! ), then you can signup here and grab your articles, banners, emails etc here:

Approved, looks great - good luck with this!!

[Dan Bainbridge]

Thanks for the approval Norb, guys, I am SOOOOO EXCITED about this site, it is working better (as a new site) than any of my other sites were at this stage... it is going to be massive!

Yesterday was Day 1 (out of 3) of our Mini Independence Day Sale.

It went waaaay beyond our expectations.

Firstly the sale announcement to our own internal list on Natural Hypnosis (which is only small) converted at 12.96%!!!



Secondly, we sent our standard recommendation to try the 3 free hypnosis albums from our other list - on SubliminalMP3s.com. This email:

Email 1 (Short) - Download 3 free hypnosis albums
(^ click here to generate this email / artice with your CB affiliate ID inbuilt)

It got an above average open rate, and an unheard of 60% click through rate on those opens - i.e. 60% of the people who opened the email then clicked through to the offer. This, for us is unheard of at least, for us normal is a 20-30% click rate on opens and "good" is above 40%, but 60% is crazy.... I put this down to having a focused list around self help so it is something they are interested in, but also a simple title of "{Name}, Your 3 FREE Hypnosis MP3s", and then a simple email with a link right near the top - this email :

Email 1 (Short) - Download 3 free hypnosis albums
(^ click here to generate this email / artice with your CB affiliate ID inbuilt)

Then things got even better, the opt-in rate was 60% - again, this is pretty unheard of. Arguably 30% opt-in is average, 40-50% being good.. again, this is in my experience at least, so we were very very pleased that we received around 60% signups from clicks.

Along with this great interest level, and great opt-in rate this sale looks set to really convert now over these last 2 days when there is real urgency over it ending.

Today we are going to send out a VERY SHORT, simple email reminding people that the sale is ending in less than 48 hours, and this is what will really drive conversions (based on my experience of doing this sale formula several times before on various sites).

Overall, this sale was more of a test, as we will be doing this event again starting on the 8th August, with more affiliates involved, and cash prizes for the most sales:



So, please, ask me any questions, and if you are a serious affiliate and you can drive traffic, then this program is going to be big. We have nearly 2 years experience selling on Clickbank, and another 2 years online business before this. We know what we're doing, and already this site is looking set to be our BIGGEST, BEST CONVERTING, AND MOST PROFITABLE YET.

Get involved:

Check out our full affiliate area here and get ready for August 8th!

[Dan Bainbridge]

Over these last 3 days we have had the Independence Day Sale, and it was our best converting event ever.

It wasn't as "big" as some of the previous launches we've done as this is a new site and doesn't have a lot of affiliates yet, but this was a test sale... in preparation for the BIG SALE on the 8th of August, and we are confident this is going to be huge, and by far our biggest event ever.

The Conversion Rate Was AMAZING!

I can show the conversion stats in so many different ways - here are some screenshots of the emails we sent out and below it is a key to explain what each of them were.

1. Announcement of the sale we sent to the small existing list on Natural Hypnosis, on Day 1 of the sale. Converted at 10.96%
2. Reminding people that the sale was ending in less than 48 hours, sent out to the email list on subliminalmp3s.com (over 50k people). A very solid 8.77% conversion.
3. Reminding people that the sale was ending in less than 24 hours, sent out to the now growing email list on Natural Hypnosis. An amazing 14.79% conversion.
4. The email subscribers receive straight away on joining our newsletter containing the 1st of their 3 free albums. 2.7% conversion.
5. The email they receive the next day in our autoresponder - not an offer, just more info on the background and experience of our hypnotist. Converting at 5.81%

Here is probably a more realistic view of conversion rates. Here is regular Google traffic conversion rates for the last 2 months, you can see it does vary, arguably is on the increase since we put in the ability to purchase physical CDs, but averages out at a very respectable 3.87%



Here is the Google conversion in just the 3 days of the sale.

It is 3.88% on day 1, 3.95% on day 2, and a MASSIVE 8.33% on day 3. These are people who are just doing keyword searches, landing on our site for the first time, seeing there is a sale on, and buying - they're not subscribers, they're not getting emails from us pushing them to buy, they are brand new first time visitors, and they are converting VERY WELL.



Gravity

Our Gravity rose more than we were expecting during this week. A few new affiliates jumped on in day 2 and 3 and really gave our gravity a decent boost - from 0 to 23 within the week, and position on the "top gravity risers" of the day during our "Day 2" on CB-Analytics.com



Next Time Will Be Bigger!

Start getting involved today! Start writing, setting up sites, blogs, and posting articles today.

Our next event - very similar to this is starting on the 8th August... Only this time it lasts an entire week, we will have more albums online by this time, and there will be much more buzz - not to mention over $2000 in cash prizes going out as bonuses to the top 10 affiliates!

We have a growing collection of articles, email, banners and more and are 100% dedicated on making this site a mainstream brand name in the world of hypnosis and self help.

[Tazer Dude]

Hey Sub do you have any new updates?

[Dan Bainbridge]

As a matter of fact Tazer, I do

It is not just one week until our BIG OFFICIAL LAUNCH (sale).

If you read my posts above we are doing another big sale, site wide, with a 30% discount off everything - just the same as we did for the Independence Day Sale, but that was only 3 days, this "Summer Sale" will be a whole week - running from the 8th August till 14th August.

We also have aprox 10 more albums on the site since July 4th, including 5 more we are launching this week before the sale, and 3 we are launching IN the week of the sale named: Millioniare Mindset, Think and Grow Rich, and Entrepreneur Mindset - we just KNOW these will be big sellers and add a big boost to the usual mid week lull between the exciting big start and the end where things really ramp up.

You can see email copy to send out / blog about and suggested timelines to send it here:

http://www.naturalhypnosis.com/affiliate-program/jv

This is looking to be our biggest ever event... we know the formula inside-out, not just from the successful Independence Day Sale, but from doing this 4x for our SubliminalMP3s.com site too.

This time we have more partners involved than ever, and this site is converting better than SubliminalMP3s.com ever has.

Here is an updated image of our very high and consistent conversion rate across GOOD QUALITY TRAFFIC - i.e. natural visits from Google Search:



From this image you can see we have an overall conversion rate of 4.55% on GOOD QUALITY traffic*

* Yes, I admit the overall conversion rate for the site is around 1.5%, but this is because of the IDIOT CB affiliates sending me 1000s of total junk clicks... if you know what you're doing and can generate keyword relevant visits then you will convert.

Also you can see that the conversion has been very consistent and rising steadily for the las month... We think this is a mixture of us now selling CDs, but also adding more and more new albums.

So.. if this was YOU sending this traffic, you would be making 50% commission on the average visitor value which would be 0.58c per visit, or $58 per 100 visits you send. This is without taking into account that during this upcoming sale week our conversion rate will be MUCH FURTHER increased.

Get involved today. The work you do these next 3 months will reward you over and over. We are working on and investing in this site for the next 2 years and growing it by triple or more it's current size. We do not make "launch then die" websites. We have been in online business for 4+ years and only have 2 other websites, which are PR2-4, authority, niche leading websites, and bring in 100s of $1000s in revenue a year... and we are confident that Natural Hypnosis is set to be bigger than these other 2 put together!

Get involved in the big launch here:

http://www.naturalhypnosis.com/affiliate-program/jv

[Tazer Dude]

I am already involved...

Got one sale so far..10 hops=- 1 sale....but I am not worried, gonna ramp up the site later in the week.

[Dan Bainbridge]

I am already involved... Got one sale so far..10 hops=- 1 sale....but I am not worried

I should hope you're not worried, 1/10 is a 10% conversion rate :O You're probably my best converting affiliate lol

[smilika]

This one looks very interesting.

I am looking for my next niche to get in, and I personally love hypnosis. This could be it, especially since there is an active member on this boards promoting the product.

PS. hopefully it is ok if the newbie affiliate joins in with "SEO" traffic.

[RobinD]

Sub,
I know your going to do great, because you did great in our contest! Best of luck to you. Nice seeing you around here.

[Dan Bainbridge]

Thanks Robin, would love to work with you guys properly in the future.

Our launch has started, we are LIVE. Already seeing a lot of traffic, and we're positive that by the end of the week this will be our biggest ever event.

We've got some very early conversion stats on the email we sent to the existing Natural Hypnosis subscribers, simply announcing the sale:



Of course, these are our own internal subscribers who are already fans, have tried our product, and are educated about hypnosis so they are going to convert better than new / raw traffic... but all traffic starts like that,

So , now is the right time to send this free gift email / article - it will get people warmed up, get a higher click through rate, and let them try some of our full albums before they buy - this leads to much more trust, and knowledge about the product and really helps conversion rates towards the end of the week - use this email:

3 FREE Albums Email

Or a shorter option:

3 FREE Albums Email (short option)

Some people have already mailed out about these free gifts overnight and we are seeing 40-50% opt-in rates which is very high!

These early stats are really making us more positive than ever, they look better than our normal early stats for our submp3s launches, and there is great interest in this high quality, professional hypnosis product.

Let me know if you need anything or have any questions, and I will update later in the week with more sales stats etc.

Dan

[Dan Bainbridge]

Hey Choppers,

We're going into the last 2 days of the big sale at Natural Hypnosis now, it's been a rollercoaster of a week and our biggest ever event... definitely in terms of traffic, and looking to be so in sales too

Now is the time that our site really converts as this urgency of the sale ending builds. It is the ideal time to send our "48 hour reminder" email:

Only 48 Hours to go Email

Historically, the affiliates who send this email make double to triple the sales of those who can't

Conversion Stats

Here is an updated screen-shot of the conversion rate - it shows stats two ways:

• The conversion rate of our emails to our Natural Hypnosis subscribers - the "last 48 hours" is the email we sent out earlier today announcing the sale only has 48 hours to go and is so far converting at 12.98%
• The rising conversion rate over the entire week across ALL sources of traffic. You can see the conversion rate is less that 1% on Day 1 - this is because there are 10s of 1000s of new visitors to the website... but days 3 and 4 this mass inlfux of traffic has died down a lot and the people returning are those receiving emails from us either in our autoresponder series, and the emails we are sending out this week especially for the sale. In a nutshell; conversion has risen from less than 1% to over 4% across all traffic sources.

Now is the right time to send traffic - the conversion rate is at its highest point now, and will stay high or even rise a little more over the next 36 hours.

Only 48 Hours to go Email

Only 24 Hours to go Email


Please let me know if you need anything, or any help

Dan

[Dan Bainbridge]

Just a quick update, our sale is officially over (yet the discount is still active for an extra day to minimize upset of people arriving late).

This has been our biggest ever event, and our most profitable event ever, with our top 20 affiliates making between $1000 to $5000 each.

The conversion rate has been unbelievable, beyond our wildest expectations!!!!

Email conversion rates



These are the emails we sent to the Natural Hypnosis newsletter over the week - thus pushing for the sales for all affiliates who simply recommended our 3 free albums.

The "Last24" email was the email on the last day to remind people there are less than 24 hours left to buy, it converted at 19.47% - our highest ever email conversion rate.

Overall conversion rates:



This is a screenshot of total traffic over the entire week, you can see, that as predicted it rose steadily over the week and peaked in the last 2 days where the urgency of the sale ending was at it's highest - peaking at a MASSIVE 6.19%. In these last 2 days most affiliates doubled up on their sales made during the entire earlier part of the week, or made even more if they did manage to send on of the 48 or 24 hour reminder emails out.

Popularity

Our Clickbank Gravity has also dramatically risen, from approximately 20 to 101 now (click to see it live on CB-Analytics.com):



This has been our biggest ever event. I didn't check on the busiest day, but this alexa graph suggests we were approximately the 5,500th most popular (busiest) website in the world on the day of our launch, and overall over the last 7 days we have been the 9,048th busiest website in the world - i.e. our "Alexa Rank" over the last 7 days is 9,048, and our overall traffic rank is now 62,465 - well within that elusive mark of the top 100k most popular websites in the world.



* Alexa isn't entirely accurate, and it isn't everything - just a measure of popularity, but compared to our main competitors our average 62,465 traffic rank overall now is comparable to theirs... but they have been in business for 5-10+ years, and we have been going for 6 months...

... this is just the start... We're not just another 1 page Clickbank product, our site is set to triple in size (in terms of number of albums which will be for sale in the future)... so get involved with a future global brand today:

[centarec]

Amazing Results!!!...one can learn a lot from your launches...now I am even more interested in getting on board...

I wish you 1000s more launches like this...

Do not spend all the money tonight celebrating

[brada7x]

Good shit, Sub. Congrats on the major success of the event. I looked into getting on board with you almost a year ago and left it on the back burner. Seeing this makes me want to jump on it right away. Might have to do that soon.

[Dan Bainbridge]

Thanks guys, it might look like this site has come out of nowhere with a big bang now, but I can assure you this is not the case.

We have been actively working on this site for 9 months, a heavy time investment from me, my business partner, and our hypnotist Brennan... we have also invested heavily financially..

So this site has been a long time in the making, but it really is just the beginning. We are aiming to be the largest (busiest) hypnosis webstore online and know we can make this goal consistently (i.e. month on month in consistent traffic, not just because of launches)... so watch this space, this time next year we will be triple the size.

[h0mp]

I'd love to jump in too.. but haven't got a clue how to tackle this kind of thing.
Thus.. it's just watching for me atm

[Tazer Dude]

Got 3 sales so far from this...
All SEO....

hyonosis.jpg

[Tazer Dude]

Just another update.... Its only 6 sales but I am very thankful...cause it all SEO from my a small site.

hypnosis.jpg

[Dan Bainbridge]

Wow, you've got a really good EPC - $1.05 per click - nice mate

Too rushed to make a big update post but we have some BIG changes coming up:

- Next month we will be moving OFF Clickbank onto our own private network. This will be announced as soon as we have a date to move over properly, and this is all with the aim of INCREASING conversions and average order value, and not being just "a hypnosis site on clickbank", but growing into the busiest / most trusted / most popular hypnosis site online... and many other reasons / benefits of moving from Clickbank onto our own network... more of this to come.

- Adding an "intelligent packages" system where if someone only has 1 item in their basket we can offer them packages of other related albums to increase order value - this is just one example of something that we can't do on Clickbank, but that will massively increase our average order value.. and therefore affiliate earning potential.

- In January we're launching a $150-$300 price range programme of "hypnosis gastro band surgery" consisting of 5-7 seperate sessions which guide people through a hypnotic gastro band surgery experience.. i.e. the hypnotist actually hypnotises them and guides them through the surgery... they get described the clinking of scalpels and feeling of being on the surgical table etc.. this is really popular right now and we know we can make a real professional product.. market leading even

- Early next year another high value package for "leaning hypnosis" - probably $300-500 price point.. which teaches people self hypnosis and simple hynosis for others... this will be a membership program with info delivered classroom style over several weeks / months... again, want to make sure this is really up to standard...

Anyway, keep them coming Tazer... scale up, if youre getting $1 a click thats great, but there is a LOT more potential than making just 6 sales a month

Edit: actually heres a screenshot I took a little while ago about our updated google conversion - still solid too:

[NCMedia]

I love when you do these dude - really amazing way to break it down for all to absorb.

+1 again.

[Tazer Dude]

Hey sub just make sure you keep me in tune when you move to your private network, I hope it is well planned with affiliates in mind.

I have been involved with private affiliate networks and have had to leave, I've had some bad experiences like too frequent late payments and non payments of commissions.

But I'm looking forward to your new product line next year....with a cost of around $150-$300..I am expecting bigger commissions too.. ..

Here's to 2012!!! But its just October....Carnt wait.

[Miller]

This is a serious post...

I mean this seriously...

I apologise for my french but I feel like a W**KER having a pop at you that time Submp3's.

I raise my white flag as high as you can see it.

This post is frikkin KILLER.

In fact if I had the retarded outrageous audacity and complete disregard, I could copy and paste this entire thread and sell it as a $100 ebook.

Once again...HUGE apologies for our ding-dong (I'm sure you remember) You are a MASSIVE asset to Niche Choppers and Norb is F***king lucky to have you as a member.

Peace out.

KILLER thread man.

[narres]

I actually like your post 2 Chimp... Really, I like the improved version.

[Tazer Dude]

I just received a email about your move to a private affiliate network.

Well, I' following and plus there is a $20.00 bonus.....

[Dan Bainbridge]

It's been a while since I updated this thread, but we have been growing, and growing steadily since.

Last week we actually moved OFF Clickbank - you can read exactly why in this thread, but essentially it was to increase our average order value, get more control over our checkout and increase EPCs for affiliates.

Anyway, I'm making this post because similarly to the Sale which has been outlined above, we are doing this again. In-fact we are LIVE NOW for our:

Thanksgiving Sale - 23rd until 30th November!

It is almost exactly the same format, with ALL of our products being discounted by 30%, only that now we have 20-30 more products for sale in total (which means higher average order values), improved site layout, and an improved / smoother checkout process.

Conversions will be high this week - check out the posts above in this thread to see how the last sale went and how our conversion rate increases over the week as the urgency of the sale ending builds. The same will happen this time, and affiliates will make great conversions, EPCs, and commission.

I don't really want to go on and on, as this pretty much is the same event as is outlined from start to finish above and its probably the 20th time we have done this formula in total between our sites, but I will update here with some conversion stats mid-week somtime..

Our affiliate program is now private so you need to join it, but the good news is that you get a $20 BONUS just for JOINING:

Join The Natural Hypnosis Affiliate Program and Claim your $20 Bonus!

Then find all your banners, articles, and proven email copy inside.
