Views on Clickbank Refunds

by Max Harlow
6 replies
Is Clickbank still the best place to make money if you are an affiliate? I know Clickbank ban serial refunders, but what are your takes on Clickbank and refunds?

- Do you feel that one loses too much money on Clickbank due to refunds to make it a viable option for affiliate marketing or is it still one of the best?

- Just to check.. do you as an affiliate actually lose money if a buyer asks for a refund?

- What other sites do you use successfully use for affiliate marketing?

    I think that clickbank is one of the best place for Affiliate marketers and refund is not the major problem. Just tell me how many times you returned digital product you buy? Answer may be 'never'. That is the thing. Even if the digital product is not upto the mark costumer mostly not ask for refund. That is the human tendency. Once costumer buy it he never think it of returning. That not means that you should throw junk towards buyers.

    Serial refunders are part of the cost of doing
    business. They're a small minority and therefore
    irrelevant.

    I'd worry more about file sharing sites.

    Who's this "one"?

    Clickbank is just a retailer. Admittedly, they make it easy for people to request refunds, but it's not in principle the fact that a product's sold there that makes refunds an issue.

    Different affiliates have vastly differing refund-rates for the same products. It all depends how they're pre-sold.

    I've sold (I think) 24 or 25 different Clickbank products over the last two years, in 8 or 9 different niches, and apart from the very occasional, sporadic, apparently random refund, it's only ever really been noticeable for me with one product (which maybe some people thought wasn't as good as I thought it was, or maybe it was even "too good" and "wasted on them").

    I've never heard of anyone wanting to avoid being a Clickbank affiliate because products bought there are "too often refunded", and to put it politely, I'd wonder how someone was promoting them, if that were a "Clickbank-wide issue" for someone.

    I haven't run into major problems with refunds on Clickbank. It's all about what you choose to promote. There are LOTS of garbage products on there and if you promote those you will get lots of refunds (and probably very few sales anyway) but they are easy to avoid. After awhile it becomes pretty easy to look at products on Clickbank and sniff out the ones that customers will probably take issue with. Even for good products you will get the occasional refund but no more than any other affiliate program.
