Can You Do This With Your Clickbank Product?

1 replies
Hi guys,

I was just wondering... if you have a product on Clickbank, can you still include your product on other affiliate networks or have your own affiliate program?

Sorry if I can't wait to ask and wait for Clickbank's reply, as I'm in a bit of rush.

Thanks so much!

    Yes, you can do either/both.

    Clickbank's only a retailer; as a vendor you can sell your product anywhere you like.

    However, very, very few serious affiliates will be willing to promote a Clickbank product that's openly sold elsewhere. (Would you?). The affiliates' problem here is that our prospective customer (with our Clickbank cookie on his PC), not having bought at his first visit to the sales page (which most don't, of course), can find the product again the following week via a Google search, which then takes him to the PaySpree/PDC/E-Junkie/whatever sales-page, and our Clickbank cookie is no good to us there.

    If the Clickbank sales-page is the only sales-page (as is usually the case, of course), we still get paid, even if the customer gets back to that page via Google. This is why vendors on Clickbank who have another sales page elsewhere, or another non-Clickbank way to pay, can attract only affiliates who haven't quite thought it through. Call me a judgmental skepchick but I would venture to suggest that those are perhaps not the affiliates whom many vendors would ideally wish to attract?

    In other words: it will make a difference to some affiliates, but those will typically be the ones who make most of the affiliate-referred sales.

    There's a kind of way round it, but it involves repackaging the product under another name (some vendors do this). This can work, but you can also get a few refund requests from people who've bought it twice, and it might be less than ideal for "goodwill".
