Review - The Freagle Strategy

I have been away for a little while but wanted to provide an update on my experiences so far with the EHBE solution. When I made decision to join the program I decided I would test all of the recommendations and provide an analysis of my successes and failures.

My first review is of where the Freagle Free Product Offer fits into the overall scheme of things. The strategy involves offering a free product offer in order to generate traffic to your products and services via the interactive banner adds. This has caused some confusing with new members as the strategy was not very clearly explained in the initial overview (this is not the first time things have been missed out but I will get to that in the upcoming clickbank review)

To test the process I decided to do so using my wife's Nutrimetics consulting business as a guinea pig. I therefore offered $200 worth of skincare products and set up the following website (I am no web designer so constructive criticism is welcome)
http://www.yourbeautydirect.com/ it cost me around $100 including hosting the free domain name, ability to setup unlimited domains and bandwidth, $25 of google AdSense credits, search engine listing etc...... after reviewing a number of hosting companies is decided on .... because it gave me the flexibility to host multiple domains.

I chose just host (see below) because of these reasons.




Back to Freagle ..... So after setting up a free product offer I then created a banner add pointing to my webpage with the free product offer. After tracking the stats throughout the last 3 weeks I found that I had more answers to questions (91 correct and 81 incorrect) and only 68 referrals to the website. This would indicate that the majority of the banner clicks resulted in guesses rather then click troughs to the product site. Moreover those click throughs did not result in any sales.

Now I acknowledge this could have been because of the site so I decided to give a more thorough test. I registered for the markethealth affiliate program heading the suggestions of Andrew Clacy to ensure your affiliate programs are close to your product offers



I chose a few affiliate offers from the site and promoted them as banner ads. I received similar results. Idol white generate 148 correct 74 incorrect answers and reversitol resulted in 96 correct and 67 incorrect my stats however did indicate more unique click through which was a positive but no sales.

So in summary I found that while the Freagle system did as promised generate traffic to the desired sites the focus was on the free product offer and I did not receive any genuine buyers. Where I believe Freagle could be improved is if it allowed warm leads to be added to an opt in list for the Free product offers so that email marketing could be done at a later date. This would make the process much more powerful worthwhile paying for.


More to come .... next my clickbank review update.... don't miss this one.

Freagle Insights

Ok Firstly a little bit about myself my name is Paul and I am based in Sydney NSW Australia. I am 34 and work as a senior account manager for a large software company, I have a beautiful wife and two gorgeous daughters.

I recently watched the "Easiest Home Business Ever" promotion on Channel 7 and had always been interested in getting involved in the affiliate marketing phenomenon but had never acted on it. I knew "How" affiliate marketing worked at a high level but was not sure how to ensure people visited my site and clicked on my links. This is what is called in the game "Driving Traffic", I liked the suggestion of driving traffic by offering free products which is essentially one of the key strategies behind the easiest home business ever solution.


I decided to bite the bullet and pay my $19.90 (AUD) and join the program to see what they had to offer. I will be updating this blog regularly with the objective of providing feedback on how the program is working and most importantly whether or not I am actually making any money out of it.

I will say that the program has given me the enthusiasm required to look at other strategies as well and I will be doing some comparisons to the programs offered through Freagles "Easiest Home Business Ever" I have already made more money through some of these that I have found myself then via the EHBE however I will give the program the benefit of the doubt.
Right Lets Get Started
