“Buy It Now” Button Creator - Advanced Marketing Tool
As part of the affiliate program you will have access to a powerful marketing feature – the ability to create “Buy It Now” buttons for an audio product you wish to promote. Your Affiliate ID is automatically embedded into the button code.
As any webmaster would know, enabling a web site for e-commerce is time consuming and costly. Not so with our “Buy It Now” button creator. You can create a “Buy It Now” button for any product you see on this site and be promoting it within a few minutes in the same manner as you generate the normal affiliate links and graphic boxes but with a little more work.
Now! Here’s the trick…
When your buyer clicks the “Buy It Now” button they will be taken to our web site to fill in their details and credit card information to complete the transaction on our secure server. BUT this page will keep your own web site theme as you can choose to place your own web site banner at the top of this page so it still looks to the buyer that they are still on your web site and have not been re-directed to another site.
It will appear as if the transaction is taking place on your site!
You will automatically get your 15% commission of every time.
This is a powerful marketing feature that is proven to improve conversions as some buyers can be put off if it is obvious that they have been redirected to another site. Once the transaction has been approved on our side the user is redirected back to your site where they will now download their new audio product.
Don’t worry about having to host the audio product files on your own site. The small piece of code you place on your download page will take care of this. The buyer will be downloading the audio file from our site but will be viewing your site in their web browser.
You can choose to add a sales page with “Buy It Now” buttons to your current web site or create a new niche specific web site dedicated to selling one particular product that you think will sell well or a suite of related products all complete with “Buy It Now” buttons.
With this clever tool you can create an unlimited number of customized niche sites in a huge variety of niche markets or monetize any of your existing web sites and blogs you have. This technology is especially targeted at specialist sites.
Click the following link for an example site that uses the “Buy It Now” technology. It promotes the “Pimsleur Spanish” audio language learning course. The Sales page is a basic example where the product description has been copied and placed into the Sales page along with the “Buy It Now” button code and a simple banner graphic. No frills, No Sales or Marketing speak.
Click the “Buy It Now” button and you’ll see the banner graphic is kept but the user has been redirected to our secure server to complete the sale.
“Buy It Now” In Action
Let rundown how you’ll create your “Buy It Now” buttons with the easy step by step wizard when you log in to the affiliate site –
On your web site you will create and host three pages –
Sales Page
This is the page where the audio product is described and where the “Buy It Now” button is displayed. This is page you will use to convince potential buyers to click that Buy button. You will need to draw on your own marketing expertise for this so it is crucial that you get this right to convert visitors to sales. The “Buy It Now” wizard generates small script that you copy and paste on to the Sales Page.
Download Page
This page is where the customer will be presented with a download link after they have completed the transaction. It also acts as a Thank You page where again you simply paste the download link code that generated by the “Buy It Now” wizard.
Failure Page
This is the page which is used if a problem does occur with the transaction. The buyer is informed of the failed transaction.
As you step through the “Buy It Now” wizard you’ll specify –
The product you wish to promote. The search facility here should be able to find the audio product quickly.
The graphic of the “Buy It Now” you want to use. There are 33 button styles to choose from.
The location of the Sales page on your web site.
Upload your web site header graphic. Remember the user is redirected to our secure site’s order form to compile the transaction. You will want to upload your site’s main banner graphic so it looks as if the buyer is still on your site. You may leave this blank if you wish.
After making a successful purchase, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the customer. A default message is sent but you can specify you own message thanking the buyer for their custom.
The location of the Download page on your web site.
The location of the Failure page on your web site.
The last step of the “Buy It Now” button wizard generates the code snippets that you copy and paste into the Sales page and Download page.
As you can see the process couldn't be easier!
Please remember that all wording of the Sales Page, Download Page and Failure Page are provided by you. However for the Download Page and Failure Page you may use the default wording if you want to get up and running quickly.
