INTERNET MARKETING

Hi guys,

I got asked this question recently at a conference, but as I have only used clickbank once, I answered very noncommitally and shared deets with him after.

So what I don't want is a 'it depends on many factors' I realise this. So I want you to speak from your experience - when you made your first clickbank product, how well did it perform? How many sales did you make and at what price?

Doesn't need to be perfect but I always hate hate HATE not being able to answer an attendee's question to the fullest.

This is a ridiculous question... there are 10,000 merchants on there, some sell 100s of 1000s of products, a lot sell NOTHING or very few...

Its just the same, just as generic as saying "how many products did you sell when you opened a shop"...

  I have to say I thought so too, but was embarrassed about the prospect of being the first to say it.
  
  Probably 90%+ of Clickbank products make some absolutely tiny, inconsequential number of sales, anyway. The question can, by definition, be answered only a self-selected group who choose (for reasons connected with the number they've sold and their attitudes to that) to answer it. In other words, it's self-defeating by definition. :rolleyes:
  
  Thanks

  Hi Alexa!
  
  Long time no write!
  
  The snow is insane - Street Lane a slushy mess ! And what happened to Chalutz?
  
  On Topic - I think even those CB products that do make a few sales - can often be self made sales, if you get what I mean...
  
  For a first time product producer, I wonder - is Clickbank the best way for them to get affiliates. I mean, it has a trust factor in some ways, but is abused by both customers and vendors on the other.
  
  Thanks

  Ooh, I don't know, haven't been up there for many weeks (though I'm only a couple of miles away). Has it closed?

  I hear you.
  
  Specifically, I think that many first-time Clickbank vendors imagine that all they have to do, to attract affiliates, is to list their product on Clickbank. Whereas that can work for well established vendors with big affiliate-lists, JV partners, successful reputations and track-records, and so on, a new, unknown vendor still has to attract his own affiliates. I suspect they don't always realise this, though ...
  
  Thanks

  I *think* its becoming some sort of further North type place. I used to know the guy who owned LS7 - but that was a long time ago.
  
  Part of the issue for newbies seems to be that they always looking for the quick fix, and, I guess, Clickbank seems like it - I'm sure a lot of people pay their $40 odd fee and never get anything back...
  
  Thanks

Bit of a stupid question ... every vendor has different abilities, every vendor has different marketing budgets, every product has a different sales page ... I could go on all night.

I don't think you are goiung to get any useful feedback on this at all.

I think the answer is first, before you even put a product on clickbank, you need to have in place an affiliate army or at least some way to get that gravity score of first. If you don't have a decent gravity score (20+) then the product is dead on arrival.

So first build up your affiliate army, tons of ways to do this. A fast and easy way is with JVs.

Then once you have an affiliate to promote your product, the list it and have them boost the gravity score. Once it starts to rise, other affiliates will see it and people will start promoting it.

  One affiliate can raise a product's gravity score only by a maximum of 1 point, even if he sells 10,000 copies. Gravity measures the number of affiliates who have made 1+ sales, not the number of sales.
  
  I do agree with you, though.
  
  I certainly wouldn't want to be listing a product on Clickbank, as a new unknown vendor, without having a good bunch of affiliates already lined up for it. And a rising gravity certainly attracts affiliates, even though it actually says nothing about either the conversion-rate or the number of sales made (because they nearly all imagine it does anyway, so it effectively becomes self-perpetuating: regardless of the conversion-rate and sales numbers, gravity attracts affiliates and affiliates cause gravity increases).
  
  Thanks

Asking how many products you sell on clickbank is the same as asking how many eggs you will sell with a cash register system developed by Casio compared to a cash register system developed by Samsung.

Clickbank is a network of affiliates, and you will have more affiliates if your product is good, and show good results. Still, it all depends on the salesletter, product, marketing, market, customer service etc.

Even if people listed numbers and figures here, it means nothing at all. Because those people asking you the question will go ahead and stick a product on Clickbank and expect the same results - which is just ridiculous.

How much you earn on Clickbank comes down to a number of things. Your product, how many affiliates are interested in promoting it, how good looking you are, and so on... you need to get a lot of things right - it's not as easy as everyone makes out.

My first clickbank product was low priced because I wanted to test the market. But to really get lots of affiliates promoting your product, you will need to price your product higher so affiliates can be attracted to promoting it.
