Commission payout is a whopping 75% which is $32.67 (approximately - may vary) per sale just on the basic package alone. 41% take the "nutrition coach" upsell for an additional $20 (approximately), making nearly half of all transactions clock in at almost $53 per customer. Plus a handful the 2nd upsell as well bringing the possible total commissions to $80.00, right up front (no waiting/hoping for any promised "back end" commissions that never materialize).

Our exit sales strategies capture an enormous number of "lost sales" with a 50% payment plan offer and then a $1.00 trial offer. This by the way, is all FOUND BUSINESS, as the reduced price payment plans and trial membership are not seen by visitors until they try to leave the site. We grab the sales after they have already said "no thanks" and are on the way "out the door" (the exit offers are irresistible).

Conversion and Testing History

The holy grail body transformation system was meticulously tested in pre launch phase for months before it was opened to affiliates. It has been one our best-selling, highest-paying, best-converting and most well-received products we have ever published.

We first realized we had a sizzling hot product on our hands when we gave the holy grail away for free as a premium (bonus item) with the purchase of one of our other ebooks.

During this fairly low-key promotion in 2010, we sold 1028 ebooks and our conversions tripled from their usual level to 3.49%. It was at this point we realized that the Holy Grail should be a stand-alone product for sale on its own website.

We continued testing the Holy Grail body Transformation system product by selling it to our house lists and inner circle members (which we consider "hot" leads). The result: 8.73% average conversions! If you note the screenshot below, you'll see only 334 copies sold, but that is because we had reset the split test (we are ALWAYS testing). Prior to this recent new test, we had already sold over 2,000 copies to our hot list.

It's easy to sell stuff to your customers and to hot prospects. So how did the holy grail sell to cold, or at best "warm" leads? You can see below the initial results when we opened the site in 2010... 3.65% conversion. That was the real-time conversion rate prior to our launch. (conversions were much higher during our launch). These sales were made mostly to our house list and to several affiliates who were invited to promote early on.

Holy Grail conversions during pre-launch sales

During the week of the launch conversions held steady in the 4-5% range, rising sharply to the 9-11% range (see below) by Friday, the last day of the promotion. By Friday night, with the deadline hours away, conversions were as high as 15.3% (don't let anyone ever tell you that a good offer with a DEADLINE doesn't work!

Holy Grail 2.0 Launch Promotion - Last Day - Conversions in the double digits all day!
(And notice how we are always split testing - and usually, beating our controls)

The moral of the story graphically illustrated above is that the next time we do a launch, you do NOT want to miss out! With a well-promoted and pre-sold launch sequence, conversions are off the charts!

What do normal conversions look like when there is no launch? Well, the numbers I've shown you so far are aggregated conversions - the conversion rate on all traffic put together. The number that really matters is YOUR conversion rate - and that I can't give you - you'll have to start promoting the product and measure it for yourself.

What I can do is show you the conversion rates for some of our top affiliates, based on clickbank analytics. Your conversions may be better or worse - I cannot make any promises about your individual conversion rate:

Top affiliates:
#1 1 in 16 (6.25% conversion)
#2 1 in 66 (1.51% conversion)
#3 1 in 41 (2.43% conversion)
#4 1 in 70 (1.42% conversion)
#5 1 in 51 (1.96% conversion)
#6 1 in 32 (3.1% conversion)
#7 1 in 21 (4.76% conversion)
#8 1 in 5 (20% conversion)
#9 1 in 13 (7.6% conversion)
#10 1 in 88 (1.13% conversion)

What about right now - in 2011? What are day to day conversions on OVERALL REGULAR TRAFFIC, with no special promotions, no launches and even including COLD TRAFFIC?

Current Day to Day (non-promotion) Conversion Rate (all traffic, including cold traffic): 1.63%

While many vendors "fudge" the numbers, showing you only their launch conversions, house list conversions or "hot off the press" brand new product conversions, I've given you our entire conversion history to date, including the conditions in which they were achieved. Our day to day conversions are damn good. Our promotion conversions are INSANELY GOOD! (Don't EVER miss our promotions!),

Again, I can't promise anything, but if you have some marketing savvy, and you can pre-sell well, the odds are good that you'll be among the affiliates with the higher numbers instead of the just average conversions.

Solo Email #1 (long copy)

Subject

(Firstname), I just heard about some really 'weird' results that occurred during a recent body transformation contest... Get this... Some of the contestants actually lost fat while building muscle at the SAME TIME! In fact, one of the winners of this contest actually GAINED weight! If you know anything about before and after fitness contests or the reality TV shows like the biggest loser, then you know that those types of results are unheard of. Usually the goal is to cut as many pounds on the scale as humanly possible, right? But what those shows never talk about is "body composition" and the possibility of "body RE-composition", or gaining lean body mass as you burn the fat. The thing is, most people, even a lot of veteran trainers, believe that it's impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. You might have heard all the debates and arguments about this subject yourself on forums and blogs, etc. etc. Even though the experts disagree, if there's any consensus at all, it's that simultaneously gaining muscle while losing fat is the most difficult fitness goal to achieve... That's why people call it the "holy grail"; because it's so elusive. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE: IT IS POSSIBLE. ("difficult" and "impossible" are not the same thing) And that's also why I'm sending you this message: I wanted to give you an early 'heads up' on this: "THE HOLY GRAIL BODY TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM: How to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time" It's a new program that actually teaches specific nutrition and training techniques for gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time. It explains these methods in a simple and practical manner, but also gives the scientific proof and reasons why they work (this is backed-up with peer-reviewed studies.) This "holy grail" system was created by trainer / natural bodybuilder Tom Venuto, who is best known for his e-book, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) which has become a sort of "fat loss bible" to thousands of people all over the world (site: http://YOURCBID.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net) But BFFM was designed specifically for fat loss. what if you want to lose fat AND gain muscle but you could never achieve it before (or you just didn't believe it was possible, so you didn't try)? That's precisely why Tom created this new program. It's the first course of it's kind that builds on the basic fat burning techniques and teaches a new system for gaining muscle and burning fat simultaneously, and explains the process scientifically. If you're skeptical, I don't blame you. But when you see BOTH real-world case studies AND you see the scientific proof, it makes you want to stop and take a look at this. Right now the 1st edition of Tom's HOLY GRAIL ebook is available for a short time in limited release at a special introductory price here: http://YOURCBID.thegrail.hop.clickbank.net At some point in the very near future Tom is going to take the holy grail course off the market for a while, to collect feedback and case studies to incorporate into the 2nd edition. Then Tom will officially re-release the Holy grail ebook separately later this year and sell it at full price. If you'd like to be in this first wave of people to try this new combined muscle-building and fat burning technology and get it at a bargain price, here is the ONLY way to order at the moment: http://YOURCBID.thegrail.hop.clickbank.net Train hard, (Your Name)

 

Solo Email #2 (short copy solo - or PS at end of your regular newsletter) NOTE: you need to edit for the time of year you send it: this was originally sent in the summer

Subject

(Firstname), What's your goal for the rest of the summer? I know quite a few people who reached their low body fat goal - some even achieved their lifelong dream of seeing six pack abs... Now they want to gain some muscle, but they're scared of gaining back the fat along with the muscle (which is very common... so it's not an unwarranted fear) If you want to: * Gain muscle WITHOUT getting fat (NO "bulking up" - just lean gains) * Lose fat without losing muscle (FORGET the "lean but bean pole" look) * Or even gain muscle and lose fat at the same time (The "holy grail" of all fitness goals!) Then check out: http://YOURCBID.thegrail.hop.clickbank.net) Sincerely, (Your Name)

ARTICLE LANDING PAGES (INSTRUCTIONS)

This has got to be one of my personal favorite ways to promote, because it is not high pressure sales - to the contrary, it's soft sell - but it converts shockingly well.

The technique is simple: we have set up some articles on our Holy Grail site (called "article landing pages"). You can NOT reprint these articles on your site. You CAN send traffic to these articles on our site through specially coded clickbank links.

The articles on each page are packed with value to the reader. They are 90% educational - high quality content. Then at the end of the article there is a tie-in that connects the article subject matter to the holy grail product. The article concludes with one or more calls to action, which generates a click through to our sales page.

You would think that sending traffic straight to the sales page is the highest converting marketing method, and that is usually the case. However, people today are getting tired of being constantly pitched and they are starved for quality content and value. These landing pages allow you to do your readers a favor by sharing articles with them (PERFECT for twitter and facebook).

Because the content is so valuable, you will actually increase your subscriber and reader loyalty instead of irritating them with constant sales pitches. The best email marketers and bloggers have learned how to mix up content with direct sales pitches. But it never dawned on most of them to do both at the same time. Educate and give value first, then seamlessly lead into a soft sell sales pitch at the end. We LOVE this technique. It's beautiful for today's weary consumer and pitch-heavy marketplace.

Here's what you do: Just send traffic to the article landing pages using the special hoplinks associated with each article. There are many ways to you can link to these articles:

1. Post a link on facebook
2. Tweet the link (repeatedly!)
3. Post the link in a forum (NEVER spam a forum, only share links appropriately as part of a helpful forum post that does not violate any forum policies)
4. Blog the link (being a blog, you might add a short commentary / editorial about what my articles say)
5. Email the link. This of course is the most effective method of all and its what we do first with our house list. Works like gangbusters. In fact, we do not release any articles to affiliates until we have tested the article on our house list first.

ARTICLE LANDING PAGES (LINKS)

We will be adding to this article list regularly, almost every week. In the meantime, here are a couple of our top landing pages to get you started:
