  • If you purchased PLR products and placed them in Clickbank in their original format (unedited with the same original title, graphics and content) then your result is not surprising.

    Try having your PLR completely rewritten and repackaged. As in, create new graphics etc, or change the entire format to another format such as Audio, Video, etc.

    + If you are driving your audience to a sales page, then that page will have to be very shiny and do much of the selling for you. If the page looks amateur, then you will have a hard time converting visitors to sales.

    Having said that, if Clickbank is your plan, maybe you should consider creating your own brand new unique products based on your expertise. You will have better luck. Trust me, I know

    Unfortunately, I can't say whether your method is an effective method or not because the method may work for some and not for others.

    In other words, it may be an effective method for some (which could be as a result of a number of factors... e.g. niche, timing, content quality, traffic quality etc) and not effective for others.

    I also can't say why the method hasn't worked out for you, because you haven't given enough info. Your problem could be with a certain part of the method... instead of the whole method.

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but from how I understand your method, it works like this:
    *You buy a PLR product and then create your own product from that (A product to sell)
    *You use Clickbank to handle the sales and product delivery aspect. I have not tried to sell through Clickbank, so I don't know the details of how it works. (payment processing and product delivery)
    *You use Squidoo and Ezine to generate traffic (traffic generation)

    Are you generating enough traffic using Squidoo and Ezine? If not, then your problem may be with the traffic.

    If you are generating enough traffic, but you're only making a few sales, then the problem may be with the sales page/pitch or the actual product.

    If traffic is fine and your sales page is fine... then the problem may very well be with the product. Before you invest a lot of time and effort promoting your product, make sure you create a product that's worth promoting.

    Create a product that people would be happy to buy. Since you're using a PLR product as a base for your product, make sure that you're using a quality PLR product.

    Also, use the PLR product as a starting point and create something new and that has way more value than what you started with. That way, you'll end up selling a unique version of the product, that's loaded with value.

    Your method is made up of components, so look at each component to identify where your real problem lies. That way, you know what to work on and what to change.

    So after asking too many questions and receiving too many good suggestions, you did actually something different from what had been suggested..... Sorry to hear that but I think you need to go back to that thread and review the suggestions.... You wanted shortcut so no one can do anything about it.. after all, useful suggestions have been fully discussed...

      Are you direct linking for squidoo and eza, or do you have a sales page? Are you not getting traffic, or just not converting sales?

      What, specifically, is not working?

    A lot of people don't like to talk this bluntly, but IM is a business built on failures. It is very common to try and fail. But the upside is you should have learned something from your failure. The key to this business is a willingness to survive multiple failures until you can knit enough of your successes together to get the kind of income you want.

    PLR is by nature often low quality. So yes, re-packaging can help to sell it - in other words, to make it look attractive, but you also have to ask yourself if you're providing anything of actual quality to buyers.

    With enough traffic, I think you can sell almost anything, no matter how bad it is, but I would never suggest just selling anything. You should really believe that it will help people and is a good product.

    Should we repeat this multiple pages of advice?

    I think that you really need to see what plr product you buy and you must know that you can give good value to your costumers.

    Take shortcuts to creating a product using some crappy PLR instead of really building a great product that customers will love and failure is inevitable. If you're not serious about creating a product, don't waste any more time on it.

    The method didn't failed. YOU failed by thinking that by just doing ONE thing you'll make money. You need to be more prolific and take more actions towards your goals.

    Because if you keep that attitude every method you'll try will eventually "fail"...

    In a number of threads that you created asking for suggestion, no one suggested you to buy PLR product. I don't know why you came-up with such decision... I'm sorry but that's what happened when you are NOT weighing answer to your questions and decided on your own.. Anyway, better luck next time. I still advise you to review the answers to your threads....

    1. How is it even possible that your PLR offer passed clickbanks terms? they would never accept a PLR product into their marketplace..

    2.how long have you tried this method before you marked it as a failure? I don't think this method failed, just keep learning and trying and you will make it one way or another

      Is anything really a failure in this business? You do, you take stock, you learn, you assess, you tweak, you repeat or modify.

      Take this as a learning experience.

      What you did may have been done by countless others.

      If you're a good writer, you can take existing PLR and make it better (even morph it into a membership site, video, audio, etc.) OR create your own product and sell it.

      Don't get discouraged. You invested a bit of time to find that this method didn't work for you. Good for you! Now, move on.

      Why wouldn't it pass their terms? Contrary to popular belief, PLR doesn't automatically equal crap. Not that that should matter, because there are plenty of original products there that are crap, so why should they have a problem with crappy PLR?

      I haven't seen the OP's product, so I don't know if it sucks or not, but it wouldn't matter if it were the greatest product ever. I can almost guarantee you his main problem is little or no traffic, because the methods he is using suck for traffic. He probably hasn't had more than 30 visitors to his site from both methods combined.

    uh yeah....you gotta keep going man....sheesh.

    Everyone that has been successful....and had results....have failed their way to success...

    No one ever gets a home run ...first up at bat.

    Keep failing your way to the top.

    The trick is to realize what the failure was. It didn't work...so you know to move on and try another method....

    ...you will find that you have failures....and if you analyze them...you will see that it was just data for you to measure....it was feedback..

    That's all failure is really.....feedback ...to let you know if something works or not.

    Try getting your own domain and buy some traffic and have more control over your biz.

    I am not criticizing but your English is not good enough to write so you will need to outsource that right away - whether it's a rewrite or product creation.

    But as it's been said you can't just bang something together and expect it to work, can you? This is a painful and frustrating road to walk. If you make even one sale this way it has to been deemed a success.

    You need to focus on filling the knowledge gaps you have in IM. If you don't you are shooting darts into the dark, you might hit once in a thousand at best.

    Use Google, check out excellent coaching programs. It's time to grow.

    This can be done, I've done it. Thing is you have to know your subject and be picky about what kind of PLR you buy. Yeah, there is some crap, but that's also an IM stigma used in sales letters about selling "Rehashed PLR crap". The reality is if you target the right section of a market that this is new to, then you can provide value.

    Here's the part that takes work and you CANNOT get around...

    You must go through the product, rename it, have new graphics done, and do any rewrites that it needs... (One reason to know the market)

    Most of all, you absolutely need to completely redo the sales letter and create a complete funnel because PLR sales letters suck.

    I have an advantage that I'm a copywriter and have the ability (Plus took the time, blood sweat and tears to learn my craft)

    So again, it can be done, but you've got work to do and the stork is not going to drop a sack of cash in your driveway tonight.

    Get past the typical IM "get free money for doing nothing" mindset and treat this like a business, not a hobby.

    You should have used hubpages! Nah... I'm kidding.

    I think the main problem with your method is it was a bit too ambitious. I would start by promoting other clickback products on squidoo rather than trying to put a cheap product yourself. This def can be done, but I would stay away from money making programs for now.
