Default Who Promotes a $7 Product for a 25% Commission?

On ClickBank, that works out to be about $1.37.

Maybe they're just HopLink ads? I can't imagine that anyone would start promoting something when all they'll get out of it is $1.37. You'd have to have a heck of a lot of sales to make that worthwhile.

I wasn't planning on using any affiliates at all on this product, which is why I had the commission at 25%. And, I figured that, if anyone used their affiliate ID to buy the product, I didn't lose too much.

I really didn't expect any one to actually promote the thing. I was surprised to see any affiliate hops when I was checking my stats. And, these aren't affiliate IDs that I recognize from the usual sources that list new products and such.

Dan, the same reason that people will write articles for $2.

In some countries, $1.75 or whatever it comes out to, is a lot of money.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

Default Re: Who Promotes a $7 Product for a 25% Commission?

it would depend on how much I could earn on the back end and if any of it was recurring

I have made a lot of money promoting 1 dollar trail offers just because of the back end and recurring streams

if there is no backend offer to get paid on I would not promote it

Hi Steven, Warriors

I think you can count out the Philippines on this one..Heck it's $1 = 46 here but I wouldn't promote something for that amount..not by a long shot

Maybe the affiliate made an error or something?

All the best,

Omar

$1.37 once doesn't sound like much, but $1.37 10 or 20 times starts sounding like something. Sometimes that's all it takes to feel like your heading in the right direction.

I wouldn't be interested at all in promoting this kinda product. For a measly 1.37 I can't even start a PPC campaign.

I think that it's just not worth it.

I guess it is better than 7-15% you might get promoting a paperback on Amazon.

No backend. No recurring. It's just a $7 product.

I'd assume it's more about the possibility of banking a little good will for sharing than the commission. Even at that, there's likely a missed opportunity there.

Dan,

This is hypothetical, although possible.

Someone promotes your product, in addition to others and, with appropriate effort, is able to get and maintain decent search engine placement.

They sell one of your books every day for a buck-thirty-seven commission. Within a year they've grossed slightly over $500.00.

A few sites like that and you're golden.

Look at it as a numbers game.

It likely doesn't happen that often but it's within the realm of possibility.

Elmer

Hi Dan,

I don't understand why they don't just get a great product with MRR and promote that for $7 and make the whole enchilada.

My guess is that it isn't being promoted individually, but rather someone has a script that displays multiple CB products based on keywords.

Yeah it is probably just from one of those scripts that display ads based on keywords, or it could be someone promoting other items in the same niche who just ran out of products to push to their list.
