Question About Low and Zero Gravity Clickbank Products

by ELK
5 replies
I have been sifting through Clickbank lately to find a few low-gravity gems in my niche. I understand that low gravity (among other criteria) can give you a chance to promote a product that doesn't have a lot of competition.

So what about ZERO gravity?

I understand that some of those might be for brand new products, which would make sense. But how about those who have been there for a year or two? Could they have had sales in the past and just aren't right now? If it otherwise looks like it could be worth my consideration, is zero gravity a warning sign I should stay away?

Again, I know that low gravity can be a good thing when you have a solid product, but where's the cutoff between "low competition" and "this one's a stinker?"

Thanks!

P.S. Please don't tell me how all the experts talk about high gravity being the thing to chase after. I am NOT looking for that kind of advice. Please just help me understand the low vs zero issue

    I personally stay away from zero-gravity products. Sure they might have gotten some sales in the past, but apparently not enough for the site owner/affiliates to keep promoting, pushing traffic to the site and getting MORE sales (hence the zero gravity).

    Now if there is SOME gravity (even 2-3-4) then I will consider it. For example, that product could be raking in sales, but only 1 or 2 affiliates could be promoting it...hence the low gravity.

    But the sales copy, offer, etc. has to be very good for me to try it.

    Anyway, that's what I do...others may vary. Why mess around with duds when there are products out there that are already making sales.

    Yes.

    But they're a mixture. There can also be products that have never had a sale at all, at least in theory.

    The thing is: you're not going to promote one without being in contact with the vendor first, anyway, and without having a copy of it ... so this gives you a chance to "assess the situation" by seeing how the vendor replies to your question or two about the product, when you contact them.

    I have promoted zero-gravity products, but I do tend to agree with Chris above.

    There isn't a numerical cut-off. It's a cut-off that requires "further inputs", in short.

    If only more affiliates did this. I've had maybe five out of hundreds of affiliates actually take the time to do this. Of course, these are all CB affiliates.

    Thank you,

    I'm still in the process of getting some long quality articles written and submitted. I'm still in the decision process so I'm glad I asked now. I'm contacted a handful of products I've narrowed down so far. I may cast that net a little wider so I can end up with a good selection (assuming a few may not respond or otherwise hold up to my scrutiny).

    Thanks again to those who have replied!
