Offline Marketing Case Study Part 1:

I don’t know about in other countries, but in New Zealand there is absolutely no one using offline advertising for affiliate programs. Not yet anyways. Do you see a goldmine like I do? Well even if you don’t, i bought two domains, kiwifling.com and amateurmatchz.com.

The first one, kiwifling.com redirects people to fling.com through my affiliate link without them knowing, and amateurmatchz redirects them to amateurmatch. Fling.com will pay me $35 – $55 depending on how many sales i get per day. I dont think i will break 9 sales per day with offline advertising, but if i do, well that would be amazing. The other site, amateur matches pays $3 per free sign up. Free sign ups always convert like a charm, so $3 per sign up is a far cry better than the over saturated adult affiliate network.

I bought those domains not for search engine purposes, im sure the domain names i chose are not searched as a whole that often, I bought them for advertising my affiliate link, to hide my referral id. When people see too much tinyurl or offto.net they think oh no someones redirecting me to some fake site… maybe credit card theft! This is actually very possible… it’s a big problem with affiliate marketing. Although if they try and reach the site again hopefully your cookie will still be there… You may want to ask your affiliate manager how long your cookies last. If you dont know what a cookie is: logicaltips.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=416

If you want to know where to buy these domains check out the resources widget on the right sidebar, theres a link to cheap godaddy codes. I get my godaddy domains for $7.69 each including the 20 cent i-cann spam fee.

Adult affiliate programs are usually the best to use as the landing pages are geo-targeted. So the landing page will have a list of members from your city. Casinos are also good… but thats a for different post at a different time

Once you have bought your domain, set up forwarding to your referral link (i recommend offto.net). You then have to advertise it. One way you could advertise your domain in the offline world is by getting some banner stickers and placing them on your bumper, imagine how many people are stuck behind you in traffic. You may as well monetize that traffic. You could also pay people per car they stick the banner on. Or… to avoid the possibility of people just sticking it on once and running with your money, you could offer a revshare program through i-dev affiliate. Im sure you could offer a share of profits to family members as well, this would be a great way of having some trusted affiliates of your own.

If you dont want to spend any money on buying stickers or what have you, you could just print off a banner you made in photoshop… or even word and laminate it, then superglue it to your car.

You could also put a sign at the end of your driveway, you would make one out of wood and some old real estate signs easily. I would advise you to put a laminated paper ad on the real estate sign. You could also call your local sign company and get them to make you some signs, but this could end up being really expensive.

You can also use flyers, go to carparks and put flyers on their cars… we dont care if it annoys people, we are here to make money

Along with the flyer idea, you can place bumper stickers on their car as well… but with the superglue/laminate trick.. you might get a fine. The possibilities are endless, the bumper idea is my favourite because it is so autopilot.

You could place ads next to highways, motorways, or any other busy roads. Sure they might get taken down, but they might just stick longer than craigslist ads.

The above methods i mentioned above are good for getting a good amount of general traffic, you can take this whole thing one step furthur and place your ads near places that are related to your affiliate program.

For example: Im using Fling.com or Amateur Matches, so both of these ads would be perfectly set outside an adult store. It doesnt have to be right outside the shop, just close enough to it so you know that you are targeting said shops customers.

Even if you dont try and target your advertising, you should still get great conversions because people who see the link cant just click it… they have to bother to visit the site. And as for the dating affiliate programs, they will always be a goldmine, so many people are using these, even married people.

This is just the start of my case study into offline advertising, I hope to bring you all many insights into this fairly untouched affiliate market.
