Review Classifiedsubmissions.com

Does classified ad marketing work? Let’s find out for sure. I just ran a campaign and I tracked it with my own affiliate tracking system. Here are the results.

On just one submission and one campaign (we submit multiple times per month with our service but this was just one submission that I tracked) I received 164 raw clicks and 134 unique clicks. All this means is that 134 unique people clicked on my ad and went to my site. A few people clicked the link twice which accounts for the raw clicks.

Out of the 134 unique clicks I made 2 sales and recruited 1 affiliate who made 1 sale. The Total Cost Of The Classified Ad Campaign was $40.

Out of the 134 unique clicks I made 2 sales and recruited 1 affiliate who made 1 sale. The program I am promoting earns me about $40. per month recurring income. I pay 50% commissions so the affiliate sale gets me about $20. per month income. So for one classified submissions I have made $90. with the possibility of making $90. per month as long as people keep the service. If the customers keep the service for 3 months this comes to $270. for one submissions. Since I am charging $40. per month for my service I am easily making money from classified advertising.

With My Google Adwords Campaign I Spent $700. Received 2567 Clicks and I Made 3 sales and Recruited 3 Affiliates

Here are some things to consider. My website is strong, offers a unique selling proposition, I have follow up autoresponders and I capture my visitor’s email addresses. I offer an affiliate program so I can further monetize my advertising by recruiting affiliates who can keep bringing me traffic and sales. My program also is a recurring paying program. I keep getting paid for just one customer. I can afford to spend some money on advertising because each customer can potentially give me long term income. In addition since I have a pop up which captures my visitor’s email addresses I am getting subscribers to my newsletter. I can promote the original service to the newsletter and/or I can promote other related products or services. Some people estimate that subscribers are worth at least $1. each

So yes, classified advertising works, but take a look a what you are promoting. You should be promoting something that truly offers long term value for both you and your customer.

After a career as a professional musician and band leader in the Miami South Florida Area I decided to see if I could make some money with this new internet thing. After years of trial and error I started to get the hang of it and now I am completely financially independent because of my various online businesses. The goal of this blog is to chronicle my continued marketing experiences. I focus on real examples of what works and what does not work. Google does not give us a recipe for getting our sites ranked. We have to use our own experiences to see what actually works rather than theory. I hope you enjoy the blog. Please let us know what you think in the comments area. We appreciate your feedback.
