College Demographics

Hello all, if you were to try and sell a clickbank product to College Kids what would you pick. Or do you have any other ideas?

The split is 50/50 for men and women.


Thanks

    Is there a CB product that's made of beer or alcohol?

    Why would you want to sell stuff to people who don't have any money? LOL

      Not so sure about that. I remember eating out a lot in college. Plus they have to get beer money from somewhere . And I think they all have laptops these days. Looks like I answered my own question.

      I was going to say the same thing, for the most part...but if you got a product thats gonna make college 100 times easier, then maybe you got something worth selling, but more than likely if that product is doing the work for a college student, its pretty useless...how do I know? Im senior at State.

      This is such a LOL statement... Some college kids don't have money, I know plenty of uni students who have money to burn on random crap. Sure probably half don't have money to spare but the other half on the other hand, well I am sure half on the college students in England etc... is an ok target audience.

        You may want to look into job interview type of products. These may appeal to seniors who are graduating soon and looking to get a job in their field after college.

        I do agree with others though as most college kids I knew didn't have very much money and didn't buy anything online. I would think that CPA offers for free things and stuff like that would appeal more to college kids.

          Thanks I was looking at interview and resume writing last night. Have to maybe test one and see.

    Yeah it's true, we eat out a lot, some drink lots of beer, then there's textbooks and tuition as well. Many of us have jobs too...which pay for the stuff above.

    I seriously doubt that people my age would consider spending their hard earned cash for digital products. Most people my age (that I know of anyway) don't even buy anything online. Some don't even go online at all...well, except Facebook.

    Perhaps a good way to reach this audience is through there?

    I'm currently at university and I have asked myself the same thing. The biggest thing that gets promoted are music and club events which I'm dabbling in a bit. The problem with this is that in anywhere that is anywhere you will have lots of competition and will often be battling with people's preconceptions of the event. It's also seasonal as students typically have more money and more time right at the beginning of their terms.

    If you were looking to do something online then CPA seems to be big. You would not beleive the amount of people I see engaging with these blatent CPA offers through Facebook. The methods used are dubious which is why I've decided to stay out however I'm sure that these people are making a mint.

    Typical CPA campaigns that I see
    "OMG AMAZING INTRIGUEING OR SHOCKING PAGE"

    Before you can access anything please complete the following steps:
    1. Become a fan
    2. Send to all your friends
    3. Visit this website for the content
    4. Website contains code that uses javascript to force you to undertake an offer before viewing content promised in title of your page
    "Giving Away 74.6 Free "Latest cool gadget" due to overstock!"

    "Hey there,

    we run some sort of business and ordered too many somethings. We can't give them back because we are lieing so we decided to give them away for free promotion. "

    Heres how to get one:
    1. Visit site that contains either a blatent CPA offer
    or
    1. Visit site with a disguised autoresponder and javascript to force you to undertake an offer before viewing the form to get your "free gadget"
    I am letting people know about this because it's clear that it is working. I don't recommend and am sure that it's likely making illegal claims or at best not ethical. Perhaps you can work out some geniune and honest way to make a similar system work!

      Thanks man, I know what you mean. I got stuck in one of these the other day looking a the product. I was ticked off by the time I finally shut down my TAB. Of coarse decided not to do that one.
