What a buck can buy

Category : Uncategorized

Yesterday I bought a trial email blast for our network. I paid $1.00 for an email sent to around 3,500 users and directed the hits to a proxy I haven’t promoted before. 12 hours later, the results are quite remarkable:

  • 3 sales on TshirtHell – $12.00
  • 50-ish subscribers to the email list (fucking priceless!)
  • plus 10 hits on AS ads, which piled up to around 50 cents.

I must admit this is one of the most responsive campaigns I’ve seen lately. It usually takes weeks before a new proxy gets an affiliate sale using traditional toplist traffic.

The whole point of this article was to show that the more you spend, the quicker money comes back. Finch has put it brilliantly here.
