If you are trying to make money online (no matter how you are trying to do that) you need to know about Self Liquidating Offers. Specifically, you need to know that they can change everything about how you are marketing. They can quite literally set you free to drive as much traffic as you want!Sound good? Let’s look deeper.
What is a Self Liquidating Offer?
A self liquidating offer is a low cost product that you sell to cold traffic.It is the first thing you offer people who respond to you advertising. Cold traffic simply means strangers.
They don’t know you. They are responding to an ad you placed or a link you placed online. They are curious and nothing more.The goal of a self liquidating offer is to help you recover your ad costs immediately. When you do that, you can re-invest more money into more advertising. This can work for anyone! More on that below. For now, let’s see what it looks like for an affiliate marketer.
- You find a product you want to promote and need to drive traffic.
- You buy an ad to drive traffic and make affiliate sales.
- Instead of sending this traffic directly to the affiliate sales page, you send them to your own squeeze page where they can get a high quality gift for subscribing.
- They subscribe and you send them to your low-cost offer instead of immediately sending them to the affiliate sales page.
- They buy your low-cost offer. The thank you page you show them after they buy is the affiliate sales page!
The results of using this process, instead of driving traffic directly to the affiliate offer, are stunning.
- You build your list.
- You recover your ad costs immediately.
- You create a new customer for yourself.
- You create buying momentum for the main offer.
- You still promote the affiliate product so you can earn commissions.
This is absolutely the best process to make sales online!
Why use a Self Liquidating Offer?
The reason to use a self liquidating offer (also called SLO) is simple.With the right SLO you will never pay for advertising again! Let me explain. A Self Liquidating Offer is designed to help you recover your ad costs immediately.
And that means a huge problem is solved … especially for affiliate marketers.The problem is cash flow. And it’s a problem that can literally put you out of business. Here is what the PROBLEM looks like.
- You place an ad and drive traffic to the sales letter for the product you are promoting.
- People respond to your ad and buy the product you are promoting.
- You get paid a commission after the refund period, typically 75 DAYS after the sale.
- You have to wait up to 75 DAYS to get ANY money back from your ad buy.
