New Clickbank Account with Every New Product?

Hi everyone,

As you know clickbank allows you to add up to 500 products on one account. But when you add a new product it doesn't go into their marketplace. (from my understanding) therefore affiliates have less chance of finding you.

So, do you pay the additional $29.95 for each new account so you can be listed in the marketplace? The problem with this is you get a new check for each product, rather than a combined check.

What do you think is the better option. Just the one account OR a separate account for each product you list?

Thanks everyone,
D

    Hi Dalvia,

    Considering that you'd only need a sale or two to make back the $29.95 I'd opt for getting a separate account.

    That way the gravity/sales figures on your marketplace listing don't all get lumped together.

    You might also want to check out a great script by Adrian Ling if you prefer to have one account but multiple products... Original ClickBank Affiliate Management Tool (not aff link).

    Cheers,

    Anthony

    Well the other thing to remember is that your commission % is fixed across all products in each account, so if you want to offer a different commission % for some products you'll need to add them in a separate account.

    The product Anthony mentioned, EasyClickmate, is terrific for enabling sales of multiple products.

    Here's my school of thought on this one...

    I see ClickBanks Marketplace as a good source for lead in sales. Most all of their products in the marketplace are priced under $100, which I label as lead in products to bigger and better things to come.

    I want as many affiliates promoting my lead in product that's in the Marketplace and I will give them generous commissions because I'm mostly concerned with the Upsells, Downsells and One Time Offers...

    I am also looking at a higher priced backend inline with the initial product.

    Here is how I see ClickBank being used effectively:

    1. Create a new account for each NEW lead in product.... In that same CB account I will also have the Upsell, downsell and OTO.

    By creating a new account for each NEW lead in product I can get in the marketplace and attract more affiliates, etc... (It's all about the numbers)

    My goal of these lead in products is to get as many paying customers as I can to go through the funnel.

    These customers have already identified themselves with their wallets so they become very valuable leads for a higher priced backend.

    The higher backend is promoted to your existing customers so I tend to use PayPal for that...

    This is just one way to use ClickBank... there are many ways but it's always nice to have a plan before starting so things stay organized...

    Thanks for the great advice!!

    It would be great if clickbank had the facility to pay a upgrade fee in their account to add a product to the marketplace.

    Maybe in the future,
    Thanks again everyone

      You can now have all payments effectively combined with Direct Deposit (ACH & XACH)

      Here are the pros and cons of both methods

      Multiple products vs Multiple ClickBank accounts

      If you mean to deduct the fee for setting up a new account from your current account - I believe they will do it.
