Internet Marketing Trip

As I said previously in some of my posts, affiliate marketing involves promoting products, and reviewing them. To get a review copy of ClickBank products, some affiliates would prefer to purchase and then ask a refund. It’s not something I have done, and I won’t do that. I have bought some products to review them but to use them too.

But as many others, I also constructed some reviews by scanning the salespage and reading others reviews. I mentioned the Chris Rempel VIP stuff, which is excellent, and will teach you how to create “kind of” mini review websites without knowing or buying the products, without scanning others reviews, in an ethical way, giving your opinion, and make sales without much efforts. And it works for any niche.

But if you want to get review copies of stuff that really interests you, and want to promote those in detail, the best way is to… ASK.

I’ve contacted last week 5 of the best selling authors in one of the ClickBank category, and another one from another category. All answered me positively. I got answers the same day, sometimes after 2 days, 3 days and the last answer was today, 6 days later. Don’t blame merchants if they don’t answer you immediately, they are busy too and maybe not at home for a few days or don’t have the time to be in front of their computer to read email, or maybe this is someone else who manages their support service. What you want is to get a copy.

I’d like to say that if you contact them and say you will review their product then, REVIEW THEIR PRODUCT. Just don’t do it to get your copy. If you ask then you may want to use it, so it should be easy for you to make a review and know if this work. Of course if you are already expert or have enough knowledge on the subject, then it would be easy for you to determine if the techniques work without of course applying everything. But if you don’t plan to use the product, ask a review and do nothing from the information, maybe it’s an ebook on how to make money with Google AdWords, then this means you don’t want to take action anyway.

I have contacted them all the same day, and maybe I should have contacted them one after the other, and wait to have the first review copy and do the review after contacting the second author. But I thought that since they were successful and so many reviews already exists that they may decline my request. Now I have a lot of stuff to read, download and review. But hey, I asked it, I got it ! So maybe you would want to ask for review contacting authors one by one, asking for another review copy only when you’re done with the previous one.

So I may not publish anything here for some time (I know it would not be the first time).

Okay now maybe it’s time to add some value to this post… here is an email template you can use :

(object : Review copy request)

Hello First Name,

I just visited your website thewebsite.com and I am very interested in promoting your offer on my review sites as an affiliate. Therefore, I would like to request a review copy of your course/ebook/software so that I may build my review.

I think you have an excellent product and am looking forward to generate many sales for you/us.

Thank you for your time.

Your Name.

Change the parts that need to be changed. When you get a positive answer (and maybe negative?) don’t forget to thank the people who just allow you to get some valuable informations and do your job. They are trusting you in a way. Keep them posted of your work when the review is done.

Now for me is time to get back to my review works. If you have some other templates like these that you want to share please feel free to do so !

Bye.
