From a Gripe to a Top Tip

What's annoying first time through has since turned into a nice little moneysaver for me. I'm talking about the second-chance popups on sales pages that you try to leave. I was aggrieved to buy a YourAdBlaster subscription at the full price ($47) only to find that as I left the page I was offered a discount of $10, too late to take advantage of it. So now I try to remember not to buy from the main page, however much I yearn for the product. Back all the way out at least once and see what additional bonuses, discounts and other goodies get thrown at you.

Of course there is always the chance that when you read "You will only be shown this page once" it may be true. But I'll take my chances. Today, it was George Brown, of Google Sniper fame, sending me the sticky offer - Conversion Confidential, or was it the other way round? I firmly intended to buy it, but from another computer, but in trying to escape from the page I found the price whittled down twice from $77 to $57. It seems that there was just one remaining at that price (!) but again I'll take my chance on still being able to obtain the offer when I check back later tonight.

Of course there is a another very effective but slightly underhand way of reducing your clickbank costs, which is to substitute your own clickbank affiliate link, thereby earning commission on your sale to yourself. It's hard to believe that clickbank members aren't already using this, which may be one reason why Internet Marketers are extremely difficult to sell to. But while I'm waiting for the dam to burst and an unstoppable flood of commissions to hit my account from my latest purchase, I'll settle for saving money any way I can....
