Slowly this week I have been adding some classified ads on eBay to test out how they perform. At the moment I only have two ad’s running. One is for pure lead generation (to grow my mailing list), and the other is promoting a Clickbank product for affiliate sales.
So far both ad’s have been promising but especially the Classified Ad for Lead Generation. In the three days that my ad has been active, I have had 62 views and 6 sign-ups. That’s a 10% conversion. I think that’s pretty amazing since my goal was to get only 10 sign-ups over the 30 day period.
The affiliate product has had 32 views, 6 clicks but no sales as of yet (has only been active for 2 days). That’s a 18% click through rate. That is a much better CTR than any adsense ad I have ever ran! In fact I’m starting to get really confident that I might make a few sales before the month is up. My goal is to only make one sale – so fingers crossed.
Over the next week or so I will also start adding some ebooks to see how they do. Hopefully they will be just as successful.
Hi Tracey
Your figures are very encouraging, thanks for your honesty and I look forward to a progress update.
