If what you’re promoting doesn’t support tracking pixels, Postback URLs or Sub-ID tracking, you have to get a little creative in order to track your conversions.
We generally recommend something that we simply refer to as the “Bonus Page” method.
To implement the “Bonus Page” method, simply come up with some type of bonus for people to claim after they’ve made their purchase.
The bonus could be a free phone consultation, a free eBook, a complimentary webinar, a WordPress plugin, or anything else that might make sense for your buyers.
