Hey All,
To mark my 100th Post on BHW, I decided to share another method which
makes me some consistent bank
Don't miss my previous threads, so far I've shared a YOURLS plugin
which automates shortening with iframing and executing code (locking, or
other code), a couple of cool noob-friendly methods to make nice bank,
some link-swapping code, and a self-hosted, exclusive, referer faking script.
Most of my methods involve content locking, as I am joint-owner of
Content Lock Pro, which, imho, is the best self-hosted, universal locker in
the industry (available in the BST section).
However, my shares can be used with any gateways, and any code, to
enable multiple twists and spins to be put on things, so although CLP may
realise their greatest potential, it's not needed for you to be able to use
the stuff I've shared so far, and will share in this thread.
Without further ado, here is an outline of the method:
I have a number of sites, some of which have some original content, some
of which have some funny prank videos, and some of which are membership
sites.
I was reluctant to lock some of them as I didn't want to affect how much
the users like the sites, and I have some pretty high ratios of returning
visitors.
But, of course, I want to monetize, so I decided to devise a method which
would be much less intrusive for my visitors, but would still earn nice bank
for me.
What I do, is to advise visitors that they can access "X" pages or posts or
videos or whatever, for free, and then, they must complete an offer to
continue.
It doesn't seem to bother my visitors, and I have maintained my ratio of
repeat visitors, whilst getting some great conversions on simple email/zip
submits and short form CPA offers.
For the example code, I have set it to where you can see 2 pages "free"
but a locker will pop-up when you access the third page.
You can get anything to appear on the third page, or you can make it
appear on the 10th page, or whatever.
On some sites, I set two lockers.
The first appears on every page, and has a close button. It has no offers,
it just informs the visitor that they will need to complete an offer after they
have viewed X pages.
Once they have viewed X pages, I call a second locker. This one does have
offer links, and does not have a close button.
On other sites, I don't bother, and just set the one to appear every X
pages.
A little thinking is ALL it takes to get a LOT of mileage out of this, as usual
in my threads, posts and comments with ideas, constructive comments,
alternative spins, etc are always welcomed.
Please, no PMs, keep relevant questions within the thread, so others can
also benefit from the answers.
Here's the code required, it's pretty simple, but very effective:
Instructions:
Place that code in your header section (or, on WP, in the header.php file
for your theme), just before the closing </head> tag on all pages you want
counted.
In the code, replace the <script> part, near the bottom, with whatever is required to call
your own locker, or whichever code you want to execute.
