Today we want to share with you John Sawyer’s ViralURL case study.

Check out his case study below…

Hello Frank & Colin,

The following documents the results of a 21-day prelaunch promotion for my new website, Marketing Tech Secrets .

I currently use a total of 9 advertising sites each of which offers one or more of the following ad methods:

• text ads
• banner ads
• exit ads
• solo email ads

I have upgraded memberships in all but one of them.

The tracking system I’m using is very simple right now. Each link I use has a code appended to it which gets read by the landing page. The system simply counts the number of times a given code is seen and stores the counts in a database table.

Eventually, I’ll make it more sophisticated, but for now, it’s already giving me some interesting information. Primarily, it’s showing me how effective these ad sites are (or not) in terms of driving traffic to my site. Pretty important thing to know, right?

Here are the results from the 21 days of the prelaunch:

Text and Banner Ads

Site Name – Page Hits

Leads Leap – 541
Croc Ads – 116
Target Ads Depot – 110
ViralURL – 20
Free Ad Depot – 13
Viral Ads Depot – 7

Solo Email Ads

Site Name – Page Hits

List Joe * – 250
ViralURL – 154
Croc Ads – 28
Viral Ads Depot – 26
ListDotCom – 16
Free Ad Depot – 7
Free Traffic Buzz – 6

* List Joe is a special case. The number looks really good compared to the other sites until you recall that List Joe is a credit-based safelist. That means that people click a link in the email they receive which displays my site for 20 seconds while the credit counter counts down to zero and the user gets credit for viewing my site. A very high percentage of those people probably never even look at the site, but the fact is that they’re at least opening it and it’s up to me to have something on there that grabs their attention.

Conclusions

Leads Leap is far and away the best deal for the money it costs me. I’m a Pro member of Leads Leap for which I pay them $27 per month. My text ads are seen in their newsletters and on their blog and they’re obviously effective as there were nearly five times the number of hits on my page as the next most effective site.

Croc Ads and Target Ads Depot were a distant second and third, respectively, to Leads Leap , but still much better than most of the rest of the sites. I’m a lifetime Pro member of Croc Ads which means I paid them once and I have two text ads free for life on their system.

I’m also a lifetime Pro member of Target Ads Depot meaning that I paid once and I have a text ad, a banner ad, and an exit ad for life. The above results only reflect the text ad. So far, there haven’t been any hits on the banner or the exit ads.

Aside from List Joe , in the email category only ViralURL scored impressive results. I think that speaks volumes to the responsiveness of ViralURL members. Whereas List Joe ’s members are surfing for points, ViralURL members are actually opening up the emails and clicking on the links to visit the advertised site with no artificial incentive to do so.

I think this was the most interesting statistic of all of them. Where most of the email sites were very lame in terms of response, and List Joe ’s curve is skewed, it could be argued that my headlines or emails weren’t compelling enough to get people to open them. I think the ViralURL results refute that. The identical emails were sent to ViralURL as to the rest of the sites and obviously were interesting enough to get them to open them many times more often than the other sites. The only variable was the site and its members.

The message should be obvious: test, test, and test again. You can’t have too much information about where your ad results are coming from. The more you know about how your various ad providers are performing, the better you will be able to allocate your advertising resources.

Today we want to share with you Paulo Barroso’s ViralURL case study.

Hi Frank,

What can I say… been doing internet marketing for over 5 years now and tried different ways of building my list, using various marketing techniques.

I have gathered more leads from ViralURL in the last 6 months, than I ever did with all the other marketing techniques. All I can sincerely say is that ViralURL is the fastest way to build a list of a hungry flow of buyers for my product and also prospects that help me build a substantial mailing list of business opportunities seekers.

At the moment with each campaign I use with ViralURL, in general I get 12 to 20 opt-ins, and at least 1 to 3 buyers from a high priced item I promote.

I would absolutely recommend ViralURL as one of your most important marketing tools in your arsenal.

I promote the Passport2Wealth program, and it costs $997 USD to join.

Therefore a high price item, I decided to upgrade my account with ViralURL from Gold to Diamond, purely due the positive results I was getting, from my marketing campaigns with ViralURL.

Nothing else out there (and let me telly I tried them all) comes close to ViralURL. I am a very happy customer indeed.

You guys rock.

Hello Frank,

I have been duplicating Jane Mark and Phil Basten, Millionaire owners of JPE Advertising and their recommended programs, including ViralURL, to build a very large successful JPE Team by using the mailing features of each to duplicate my Simple Profit Setup system.

As a ViralURL Gold member, which I highly recommend, I email 3,000 random members every 3 days for a total of 30,000 random members monthly to build my mailing list and Simple Profit Setup Team.

I also use ViralURL to cloak my affiliate URL’s for security and track my promotional efforts while building a large downline of over 245; where at least 47 of those members joined my Simple Profit Setup System.

I joined all JPE Advertising’s recommended List Building/Mailing programs immediately, including ViralURL and Build Referrals, as a Lifetime member to receive the maximum solo emailing to a responsive growing database!

With a proven system… the Internet becomes a "numbers game"!

In less than 2 years, I am earning over $10,000 per month duplicating JPE Advertising with my Simple Profit Setup system!

Niche Vs Internet Marketing? Which One Is Best For Me?

There is a lot of marketing going on the Internet. With so much going on, it can be extremely difficult to distinguish the differences between the two. I am going to make it a little clearer for you, I will review some of the differences between Internet marketing and niche marketing.

Internet marketing and niche marketing are apples and oranges, they are both fruit but yet have their unique differences. Internet marketing is the apple, where niche marketing is the orange.

What is Niche Marketing?

Niche marketing is when you are selling a specific product to customers looking for that particular product. There are some niches that are extremely competitive, and some that have little or no competition. You can also take a niche market and create a microniche market. The key is for you to find the niche with little or no competition.

There are so many of the larger niche markets that are open to the latest and greatest marketing strategies, whereas the smaller niches are much easier to break into because they aren’t swamped with all the big-time Internet gurus posing as your competition. By going with your own niche market, you get to promote it yourself, or promote a niche affiliate product.

How To Find A Niche Market?

You can find a niche market for anything! If you can imagine it, you can sell it. All you need is a great idea, great product (whether you create it or not), some advertising, and a strong will and intention to succeed.

What Is The Internet Marketing Niche?

This is where you are promoting your own Internet marketing product. There is a lot of competition in this market and much harder to break into and see quick results.

You are competing with a lot of very wise men and women who are the best of the best when it comes to Internet marketing, also known as Internet Gurus. Does this mean it is impossible? NO…you CAN DO IT!

You are in a world that works with supply and demand, meaning if you have a product that can go up against the big guys, and if you have an iron will to win, then by all means, you will succeed in the big league. Remember however, there are easier ways to get started than jumping right into the ball field with the hard hitters.

There are innumerable niches that are still untouched, just waiting for you to jump in and take over. Go with something that you are familiar with, a hobby, a talent, something you are passionate about. Not only will this give you an edge in the market, but you can have fun with it too.

Niche Marketing Tips

1. Make your niche very appealing for anyone to sell or resell your product. By making your product appealing, you make it easier and more cost effective to advertise in a specialized market.

2. Focus on the specific needs of your target audience and create your product to meet those needs.

3. Maybe you have written an Ebook on beating insomnia, giving proven methods to overcome this safely and easily, and can virtually apply to everyone. You will be sought out by those who suffer insomnia, searching for the information you have to offer.

4. If you have a website, blog or product that focuses on writing the perfect resume’, you will not be attracting the market looking to start an online business. Focus on your market, your targeted audience.

Summary…Remember, Apples and Oranges…

By using your creativity, a little elbow grease, some committed action, and niche marketing will become a very effective and cost efficient way to sell your products and services, advertise to a specific audience, and bring in buyers of your product or service.

WOW – Sorry to everyone who reads my posts here, I guess I need to focus more on the ‘blogging’ side of life!

Just got back from a 2 week cruise around Northern Europe and had a great time, visited many places that I hadn’t been to before and met a few really cool people too, so all in all a trip well worth it.

Before that I was very focused on my main business and have to give a shout out to Frank Bauer – Superman – for holding down the fort whilst I was done. We have some VERY exciting things planed in the coming months, so stay tuned… Oh, and I promise I will put up a nice, content filled post early next week

Hope you had a great month too… Onward and Upward
