To Clickbank or not to Clickbank

by webmaster2015

When you finish a product that you want to list on Clickbank do you list it on Clickbank right away or do you market it yourself first to see if it would be worth listing it on Clickbank?

The site I'm thinking about putting on Clickbank is emailpiper.com I know I will probably have to change somethings before listing it like the payment link.

Does anyone have any tips about listing with CB?

    Whether you list it on ClickBank now or later, you more or less have to have everything tweaked and tested and have proven conversions of targeted traffic before serious, pro-affiliates will promote it.

    Retaining affiliates is - in a strange way - more important than attracting us. Because you don't typically get us back, if you lose us when we try it before you've done all that and find that it doesn't convert our targeted traffic.

    I would think, though, that having your proven conversions of targeted traffic at ClickBank is probably better, all round, than having them elsewhere and then listing it there? If you're planning to put it there eventually, anyway, for the sake of $50, it's not easy to see any disadvantages to doing so sooner rather than later?

    And it's no harder to test/tweak your sales page, if you do that at an earlier stage? And that's what surely matters to you, at this point?

    (If you want a very quick, very off-the-cuff reaction to your sales page, I'd venture to suggest that for a $47 product, there isn't enough of it (I'm thinking both quality and quantity, to be honest) in the sense of "grabbing people and then answering all the reasonably foreseeable objections", as sales copy needs to. Very quick personal impression only! ).

    Good luck!

    Hello Webmaster2105, your sales copy is not that much. Are you sure that it would be able to convert visitors to buyers?

    Ya, the copy wasn't very good. I was going to ask if the software works? the copy put that question in my mind by the second sentence. Not to be mean, but I would hire a copy writer and have them redo it.

    Also i use craigslist all the time, I get decent local traffic to my site and get a lot of emails. But I have to reply to them personally and generally within an hour of receiving it. How easy is your software going to be for an average person to install?
    I can install scripts and databases, but there are a lot of people that can hardly find the enter button.

    How do you address this issue?

      You do not install any software, the reply messages are managed by a members page.

      Here are some screen shots;

      As for why my sales page looks cheap.. it's because I through it together in 15 minutes and then spent 3 months doing backend. It does work, I have been using it for a couple weeks now, I actually created it for myself and then figured other people might find it useful.

    IMO you should typically run your own traffic first and optimize everything (price, landing page, etc). This way it's all ready for the affiliates, which will keep them happier (it's very frustrating as an affiliate if the merchant keeps making changes) and will hopefully help bring in more money

      I think that is the approach I will have to start out with. As other people pointed out my sales page needs work. I did change somethings around like put a call to action at the top, still not sure if that will work though I'll have to test it.

      Thanks to everyone for the inputs.
