Paul Colligan Interviews Anik Singal

Anik: I make it sound over-simplified; because I said he only had to spend 15 minutes. He had developed a relationship with me, and I trusted him, so he had an in that I would actually listen to him pitch his product. But, at the end of the day, you can look at how much that converted into when it comes to sales.

Anik: And that is just one of the stories. Very recently, I did another promotion for a good friend of mine, in a completely different industry, and we pulled in over I would say $18,000 dollars in sales, and it's an industry where I actually say I have a small list, a very small reach in that industry. But we still pulled in that amount of sales.

Anik: Now, on the opposite end, I've managed a couple programs, and consulted plenty of them. And, I'll use affiliate classroom as an example. We have an affiliate program at affiliate classroom. Well, about eight months ago, I talked to a potential affiliated who had a big reach in my industry, and I convinced that affiliate to do a promotion for me, and he agreed to do so. That was eight months ago that he did this promotion. And I think, we are sitting today, and he continues to bring in six or seven thousand a month in revenue for one thing he did eight months ago. On his end, he has never had to do anything else. And, on my end, I continue to rely and know that those sales will be waiting for me when time comes.

Paul: So, 56K in the first 12 hours, and that was how much you sold, correct?

Anik: Yup.

Paul: So, audience think about this. 56K in the first 12 hours, something you sell, because of an affiliate program. Now, this particular project, Anik, I know a good chunk of them. I don't know this particular program, but I would bet a good chunk of change that he made good money on that 56K regardless of what he paid you.

Anik: Absolutely.

Paul: I know the margins over at affiliated classroom, because we have talked about that. And if this guy is making 7K a month, I know how much you are making, and I know how much your margins are on that as well.
