It’s the fourth and final…

As of next week I should be a dad again, so my hands are going to be full and life is going to be hectic and I will think of sleep and a social life with a nostalgic, whistful sigh…

Anyway, the reason I am telling you this (other than the obvious fact I am excited) is that I am going to have my hands full, so please forgive me in advance if the next few weeks and months go a bit off-schedule.  In fact I am putting the Tuesday Topup weekly blog post article on hold because baby, wife and family are going to pull rank.

Everything else here at HQ will carry on like clockwork without me.  If you have any affiliate questions, please, make sure you exhaustively read everything here at www.2uaffiliates.com and for all product related questions you will find the answers onsite at www.2u.co.uk.  If you have any customer related queries please use the FAQ and contact system at www.product-help.info  

So I shall sign off now and speak with you again in the not too distant future.

You’ve already heard us talk about the power and importance of having your own website…

How to use Conversion Rates to YOUR advantage. 

When a customer orders a mobile phone (ie the customer filled in the web form for an order - eg at www.2u.co.uk/mobile-phones) they get processed and credit checked (vetted and policed), because they are about to get a massive discount off of the true cost of the phone in return for agreeing to stay with the network for a set period of time. 

Only the people who the networks think are legitimate and will pay their monthly phone bills will get their phone and get connected.

So not everyone who orders actually gets connected.  Some get declined. There is more info on the order process here.

The difference between the number of people who order and the number of people who get connected is known as the ‘connection conversion rate’ or the ‘conversion rate’.

The different mobile phone networks each have their own credit credit check system, with different rules and criteria, which a customer must pass before the customer is allowed to be connected to that network.

This means that the different networks have different conversion rates.

What does this mean to you?

If you promote the best converting network more, then you will get more connected customers for the orders that you make. 

Which means more commission money to you!

And the current highest converting phone network (with the highest conversion ratio) is …

The ‘3′ network

The other networks are averaging around 40% conversion - while the 3 network is averaging around 60% conversion!

That is about 50% MORE! 

So use this knowledge to your maximum advantage.  Promote the 3 network hard, above all others.

Push your visitors and customers towards 3.  They have VERY competitive mobile phone deal offers, so you are really doing them a great service in helping them go with 3.

And you will earn more.

So don’t sit around waiting - go now and do everything you can to promote the 3 network through your www.2u.co.uk  affiliate link.

If you dont know how to do this promoting read everything here.  But take action now.

We have some very cool improvements that I want to tell you about - I am quite excited so I made you this (free) video to tell you about it.  Click the ‘Play’ triangle to start watching …

1. iPhone
2. iPhone Insurance
 
Read on …
 
You probably already know that the most anticipated thing in the mobile phone industry is coming soon - the much awaited iPhone launches on the 9th November here in the UK.
 
And I have a personal secret for you …
 
For someone who works in the mobile phone industry, I don’t normally get that excited about a new mobile phone - with most phones I just think “Sure, its handy, but its just a phone”.  However, the iPhone is different.
 
I AM excited about the iPhone.  We purchased one early so we could check it out and see what all the fuss is about.  
 
And I can honestly say - now I KNOW what all the fuss is about.
 
It is THE most amazing phone - and I don’t say that lightly!
 
It is a mobile phone, an iPod MP3-player and an internet-access device all rolled into one device with state-of-the-art easy-to-use navigation.  And the good part - I am NOT over-hyping this.
 
It is without a doubt a major turning point in the growth and development of mobile phones and telecoms in general - as well as the overall connectedness of people.
 
The only real downside is that you need to see it to fully appreciate it.
 
For this reason we are recommending that …
 
1. You watch the free videos available on your site, and
 
2. Preorder your own iPhone so you have it, to fully experience it. 
 
You will then be in a better position to sell and earn from the next major wave in telecoms.
 
iPhone Preorder:
Right now on your site, you and your customers can pre-order the iPhone.  This means you can place your order in advance of the rush and be the first in the queue to get it on November 9th.
 
You can do all of this at http://www.2u.co.uk/iphone
 
iPhone Insurance:
As you can probably imagine, because it is the best phone/iPod/internet-access device on the market, the iPhone is not cheap.  It will retail at £269 on O2 contract.
 
Pretty much all owners are going to be proud and protective of their new iPhone.
 
This means there is going to be a big demand for iPhone Insurance - to protect their new expensive device.
 
For this reason, on your site right now, we have specifically created an iPhone Insurance policy - to offer all those hoards of new iPhone owners everything they need - full, sensible protection at a cost-effective rate.
 
You can see this at http://www.2u.co.uk/iPhoneInsurance
 
From our research, there is very little competition for iPhone Insurance out there - you could be *miles* ahead.  Have a look on www.google.co.uk and search for “iPhone insurance” - you will see there is little else available.
 
This means the market is wide open for you.
 
Now here is what we suggest you do …
 
* Build your own separate website for iPhone Insurance
 
If you already have your own insurance website, then add iPhone Insurance pages to it.  You will then have a far greater chance of climbing up the search engines for an “iPhone insurance” search - while there is little competition.
 
If you have not yet built your own separate website (other than your .2u.co.uk site) then you need to do this first.  For the tutorial on how to do this go to http://www.2uaffiliates.com/training-centre/MarketingHelp/AffiliateMarketingHelp
 
Once you have your own separate website then you should write your own insurance pages and promote the 2u iPhone Insurance there.  You should read these guidelines on how to write your own insurance pages - http://www.2uaffiliates.com/articles/2007/09/27/how-to-write-your-own-insurance-web-pages/
 
On the bottom of each page promoting the 2u insurance, you must put the FSA Compliance iframe. You can get (and customise) this by logging in with your normal 2u login details at http://www.2uaffiliates.com/training-centre/fsa
 
There are now new non-branded order form pages which you can use in your site.  So when your customer goes from your own iPhone insurance website, with its look and feel, they are then not confused by seeing the 2u brand - they see the plain non-branded order form.
 
The non-branded order form pages are available at the end of
the FSA Compliance iframe customisation at http://www.2uaffiliates.com/training-centre/fsa
 
So that is it.  You need to create your own iPhone Insurance website pages so you can get quickly up the search engine results, while there is little competition.
 
Then you can be ready to take advantage of the new demand for iPhone Insurance.
 
Once you have put all of this into action, if you have any questions, please feel free to use the 2u Forum at http://www.2uaffiliates.com/forum.
 
Good luck promoting the 2u iPhone Insurance!

If you use Pay Per Click (PPC) in any of your online marketing then you should have a closer look at this …

There has been a flurry of highly priced new release software that spys on other marketers PPC campaigns so you get the inside scoop on what is working for them - so you can copy.  It’s kind of sneaky but it clearly works.  There are 2 key drawbacks with most of these PPC spy software packages.  1 is that you have to host the software, which can be difficult and also heavy on your server.

The other reason is better outlined here

I do not personally do PPC advertising for the simple reason that we leave that to you, the 2u affiliates - we do not want to compete with our own affiliates.  But if I did do PPC marketing, then I would certainly be looking closely at this new software to help me bring down the cost of my adverts, AND to locate more effective ads.
