Choosing a product on ClickBank

by Sour
7 replies
I'm having a little trouble picking my next product to promote. I'm liking ClickBank, so I don't really want to try out any other affiliate sites yet. The problem is most of the products on CB have a TERRIBLE sales page. There's only a handful that look like they'd actually convert by at least 1%, and any product that looks good will usually have an incredible amount of competition.

So how do you guys promote CB products when the search engines are already flooded with articles targeting pretty much every keyword out there?

    Hey Sour,
    I pretty sure I made this exact same post either here or on another marketing forum when I got started.

    The truth is that there are MANY awful clickbank sales pages. I really do feel your pain.

    Don't worry so much about the competition. There are always lots of different ways to generate leads. Also, even things like article marketing with competitive keywords can work. It may be more difficult to rank for those articles in google but there are many people getting to the article directories by other means.

    Your getting off on the right foot by choosing products that deliver and have good sales pages.

    Hey, competition is good... plus search engines are not the only thing in the world.

    Tip: use huge bonuses to outperform your competition. And also, only focus on buying keywords, I mean product name + competitors, and product owners + competitors (most people don't do this).

      I forget who it was, but I knew a Warrior that used to LOVE terrible sales pages.

      He would buy a domain, buy the product and really go through it...and set up his own sales page. He put his OWN autoresponder code on his page to grab emails, and had a series of 5 to 10 email follow ups pushing the product.
      Actually I think every third email was more of a hard sell while the others were soft sells, content and real value.

      Just an option.

          I wouldn't actually re-write a sales-page, myself - that's too much work for me as an affiliate (so if something has a bad sales-page, or a vendor's opt-in on the sales page, I just move on to the next one - which is no problem with 10,000+ to choose from). What I'm writing is "pre-selling", not "sales pages". But all the rest of that you have to do even for the products with good sales pages. That's what being a Clickbank affiliate is.

          Just a little note for anyone reading this thread: to replace a Clickbank vendor's sales page with your own, and direct-link to the vendor's order-page, you do need the vendor's written permission.
          If I remember the sales page wasn't designed SPECIFICALLY for that product per-se, just close, as the list he would build would benefit him with selling similar products.

          I guess my memory is fuzzy so I should shut the hell up, but that was the jist of it anyway. I personally am lazy and wouldn't want to do the extra work either, just tossing it out there.

          On another note, the one thing that I find more annoying is the lack of materials some products offer up for affiliates. Banners especially, as most people have blogs and would certainly toss up a banner if there were some. Ah well, to each his own I guess.
