$183.01 in cliickbank within a night (6 hours) I cannot believe it

Dear warriors. I have no words to describe what i'm feeling now. For so long i had trouble making money ONLINE. Article marketing, SEO, PPC, PPV all didn't work for me despite putting in time and money. That's not the point.

I just woke up to find my clickbank account with $183.01 commission after trying out a method. It's hard to believe.



Not that the amount matters alot now as i'm concentrating on offline method but IF this is true(i still have doubts if it's a clickbank glitch), i could very well quit school this moment as this is all automated and i there's no limit in scaling it up.

However, i have a question. Because the commission comes from a clickbank product with very solid and powerful sales page but the product is total crap according to warriors review in this forum. I'm afraid there would be high refund rate. Is there any way to check the refund rate in clickbank?

One more issue. I checked the 'reporting' -> 'analytics' in my clickbank account and it's not updated at all but the home page states $183.01. Is it because the analytics is not updated real time?(this is the part where i'm scared the commission shown is a glitch) Do i have to wait a little longer for it to update? What are the chances that this is true? I'm really really excited and afraid now.

Your advice dear warriors!

    Here's the thing. The above may seem too good to be true but all I can say is there isn't even 1% hype or BS in the above sentence. This WILL BE YOUR LAST WSO to purchase.

      Thanks! Just that i would like to know how to check the refund amount in clickbank. Once i've confirmed my method works, i may want to share it with warroom members cause this method once known, will be very saturated.

    Congratulations!

    You're right the analytics does take time to update. When I checked my sales earlier - there was money credited from today but the analytics page doesn't even show any hops to the product from my mailing.

      Phew. One doubt cleared. Do you also have any idea where to check for refund amount? Because i have tested myself before that the amount of commission will not decrease even when i refunded my own purchase using my own aff ID. Thanks!

    I don't know about how to check refund rate, but when CB cuts you a check, they will hold back 10% of what they owe you for 12 weeks as an allowance to cover possible future refunds. According to their FAQ, they can adjust this at any time - this may be the case for products that have an unusually high refund rate, but I've personally never seen anything higher than 10% withheld. So, you may have to wait until they cut you a check. If the method holds up, I'd love to hear more...and from the sounds of things, I'm not the only one

      Thanks so much! Heading towards the FAQ section now. I will have to test out the method for a longer period to check it's consistency. Thanks again

    To check refund rate I think you compare average paid to what one sale pays. The difference is refunds bring down the average paid. Or so I was led to believe. If the product owner sells a lot of the product his/herself, that would skew the results so that would need to be checked somehow as well.

    If you know the product is 'crap' can you find a better one? If not, make a better one?

    About checking the refunds... you can go into Reporting -> Transactions and make sure "Refunds" is checked. And take a look at the list of transactions below... if there are no refunds in the "txn type" column then you are good - No refunds.

    Oh... and btw Congrats on your sales! I doubt it is a glitch...

      If your process indeed does work, and you know the product is sub-par, then perhaps you should take that successful process and apply to a better quality product. There are a lot of good ones there, with very low refund rates.

      In any case, congrats on your success.

      Ok I'm not attacking you or anything and this is just a thought.

      You haven't made a sale in the whole week and all of a sudden you have 183 in your clickbank account because you tested out a "method".

      Is it just me or does this thread really sound like a presell for a WSO?

      EDIT: To OP, I am not saying that you are actually doing something like this and if that's true then I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I would suggest that you should explain you method a little bit so that it doesn't sound like a presell technique.

    Well done. Don't necessarily assume you will be making $183 * 365 = $66795 a year though. Find out WHY it worked and then (to wheel out the old cliche) rinse and repeat.

    Hehe, looks like you've hit a goldmine, love that excitement

    The analytics takes a while to update, but the transaction screen ("Reporting" -> "Transactions") is updated even before the account homepage, so if it is showing up there, it is for real.

    There is a refund rate statistics on cbengine.com but i believe it's only in the pro version. But you will know it within a week or two just by taking a look at your refunds

    And even all of this is true and for real - never quit the school. I know this might be very tempting for a young man but everyone needs at least a basic education in the life. This may work today but what if everything changes tomorrow or in a year and there will be no way to make money on the net anymore? If it is on autopilot anyways - do it after the school.

        Hey guys! i'm back. Thanks for all the replies. Just a little update.

        To check for refund rate, just go to 'reporting' -> 'transaction' -> check 'refund' box. Credits to frankieTP2!

        So anyway, the traffic wasn't as targeted as i thought was. $183.01 was solely from one guy who bought ALL upsells! But all is good because i'm using email marketing and who knows those who did not buy today may just buy later!

        I believe that no 'make money online' niche in clickbank can even be considered sub-par standard. If it does, more often that not, the sales page isn't attractive enough. Just my opinion =D

        Thanks. That's the exact step to check for refund! Yup it's not a glitch cos the analytics is out.

        You have any recommendation on good products that teaches people how to make money online yet have EQUALLY GOOD sales page? I've seen reviews on this forum and everyone is criticizing almost every product i can find on clickbank :S

        I'm not an online method guy and i suck at it. Hate all those conventional traffic generation methods! Takes too much time and it's too tedious. The reason why i became an internet marketer is to work LESS earn MORE lol. So currently i'm trying out methods that are not used and it seems like this work!

        Dont worry it's definitely not a presell technique LOL. Just that i'm too excited! it's 183.10 out of no where! And i cannot explain the technique now yet as it's still not matured + it may get saturated if i explain it. Hope you guys understand.

        Yes i'm thinking very hard now to refine this system. It may just explode 183 per day as all the traffic are converted to my list and the list just keeps compounding.

        Hey talking about that. I thought it was important to say this. I went to an internet seminar in Singapore with lot's of gurus taking turns to sell their workshop.

        One of them said, to be successful online, you need to BE, DO before you can HAVE. I know a lot of warriors hate people whom claim to make xxxx amount when they don't. But when it comes to 'make money online' niche, i thought it was a must to BE first before you can HAVE. I call this marketing. Just my thoughts

          I call it "deception".

          I see a market as an eco system. If you take take take before you give, the fields become infertile and whither..

          If you give give give and then give some more to that ecosystem then you can reap what you sow afterwards.

          So you think it is okay to LIE to other people about how much money you make, knowing that some of these people are in the same position as you, or worse?

          But you are right in the sense that many IM marketers (not all) recommend that you flat out lie to people to sell stuff, no matter how they try to sugar coat it.

          My advice: Please try to find an honest and ethical way to make money. If you still want to promote "money making" stuff, try being honest and taking an angle such as this: "A lot of people are having success with this product! I bought it, its great, and I plan to make $X,XXX per month in a few months." That is, if you really think you can. That's better than saying, "I made $22,000" and the most you've made is $183.01.... which is only because you told someone you made $22,000, lol.

          But the first step is finding a product you actually believe in first, considering you said the product you are promoting is crap! Your foundation is wrong from the beginning, promoting something that is "crap."

          Think of all the time and money you say you wasted. Do you really want to have other people waste their time and money like you did?

          Please try to find something good to promote and an honest way to promote it. You can do it.

          I hope the best for you.

      Probably not intentional. Just someone excited about a first sale.

      Congratulations on your sale! I'll be happy to know what you do, but don't be surprised if you find out many on there already practice what you discovered.

      I am with you, AUTOMATION! I want this system pulling its own weight. I am working on autoblogs right now. I have a few up and am fine tuning my work now.

      I just started getting regular adsense clicks. Three days in a row, then one skipped, but $.25 each day on one blog. Its a blog I left for dead and removed the auto-renewal from the domain name.

      You can get surprised here in IM. Keep it up and Good luck.
