Clickbank Pricing - $4.95 Trial then $197/mo

by Earn.cx
9 replies
I am going to be launching a trading product.

By using a $4.95 trial then a $197/mo, would my product be rejected by clickbank?

Should I lower the rebilling price?

Or should I do $97/mo

or $97/year?

I will be offering trading alerts through an email newsletter

Thanks

    I find it interesting that you can't decide whether your product is worth $2364/year, $1164/year, or $97/year.

    That's a very wide range. The difference in your lowest price and highest price is 24x. I'm trying to imagine Coca-Cola saying, "I wonder if we should charge $1.00 for soda or $24.00".

    Are you just making up numbers? Have you done any market research to see what your competitors charge?

      I rebill successfully with paypal on some other sites that I run.



      I refund anyone who tries to dispute me - and I have no issues with paypal.

      But this is the first time I'm doing it with clickbank, so I don't know if like higher prices makes it more tough to get approval for.

      Any advice?

        Yes, higher prices makes it tougher to get approval at Clickbank.

          This may sound crazy, but services that charge $197 a month will usually include a coaching call once a month, a hard copy newsletter, a CD of the month and weekly updates in the field, plus some other goodies.

          Not really knowing what your service is it's kinda hard to answer. However, I think I would shoot for the $97 a month...but mention the price is going up to $197 a month soon. Do some sales copy to entice them to "lock in" their $97 a month rate before you change your mind.

          Good job on your recent successes and best wishes on your future ones.

    Do your market research first.Find out what others are charging for the same service.
    If your going to charge more, you need to deliver more than your competition.

    Yes.

    Unless you have a successful history (long-standing - other products - few refunds) with ClickBank, I'll be astonished if they'll consider a $197/mo rebill.

    This is something you can decide only after appropriate market research and some testing, surely? :confused:

    Actually to tell you the truth in order to give trading signals or any financial advice stockmarket/forex/derivatives etc. you should have an official certificate from your local authorities otherwise it is illegal in most countries. So first be sure that everything is legal and then check clickbank but to tell you the truth clickbank is not the best place for that kind of services...

    Thank you guys. My question isn't about what I should charge for my service (of course I can confidently charge anywhere from $97/mo to $197/mo and I'll members staying due to the quality of my alerts).

    My main question is the difficulty of approval from clickbank. And according to what some of the answers I got above, it helped me to make a better decision.

    I decided to do a $97 upfront fee, for lifetime access (I was looking at what competitors did too). After I gain some traction, I might try to do $97/year. Then later, $97/mo.

    Once I get a lot of traction, I'll move out of clickbank and use my own CC merchant.

      Good luck with your product.

      ClickBank certainly used to accept and approve $97 prices for "first products from new-toClickBank vendors" (their approval limit seemed to be $100, though I believe they didn't admit this openly on their website). But recently I've seen two Warriors mentioning that they were told by ClickBank that amounts less than this were "too high for a first product, with no track-record at ClickBank", so my guess is that you may have some delicate negotiation ahead of you, there. It may be "discretionary", though (they certainly do seem to have some unwritten policies and procedures) so don't give up hope!
