Promote clickbank products to list

25 replies
I got a quick question.

I've been wanting to go away from promoting cheap WSO's and related offers to my list, and start promoting solely ClickBank products which range from ($27-67) because my IM dream has always been to appear on the leaderboards.

Is it pointless promoting ClickBank products to a list built through the WarriorForum? I know it depends on how you market the product, etc but I don't want to waste my time.

    In my opinion, yes, it's pointless.

    If they want the product, they'll purchase it threw their own affiliate link...not yours.

      Can't the same thing apply to JVZoo and WarriorPlus?

        I think it probably is, Edwin.

        Because, if you do that, so many of the "target audience" are themselves ClickBank affiliates, and they're not going to buy the product through your hoplink when they can perfectly legally buy it through their own, are they?

        For me, this is the top reason (of many reasons) not to promote any IM/MMO products from ClickBank, as an affiliate.

        No; I think it probably doesn't, because with JVZoo people can't buy through their own affiliate links as they can and do at ClickBank, so at least you'll be paid for the sales you make? (I don't know about WarriorPlus, and won't do business with them anyway, but I'm guessing they can't buy through their own links there, either?).

    Edwin ... it might work, but here's how I would approach it.

    1. Email your list the following question: "What do you need help with most, right now?"
    2. Read their responses and identify the most common responses.
    3. Find or create an excellent solution to their problem (don't just give them rehashed PLR crap). If the best solution is a CB product, then that's what you share -- don't be ashamed that it's from CB if it's the best solution.
    4. Email them and share the solution to their problem.

    Rinse and repeat.

      Thanks. I'll test it for a week or two and see if I get any sales.

      If not Ill go back to promoting the other stuff.

        Please let us know how it goes. I regularly send that question to my clients' email lists and the results are usually impressive.

      Are you intending on purchasing all of the products you intend to offer to your list?

    It can be done but it is generally much more harder to do because most of the products on Clickbank are generally much more expensive compared to most of the products on JVzoo and WarriorPlus.

    I've done this with success. The key is choosing the product...

    Many Clickbank style products will "turn off" the average Warrior. So, you must choose the product carefully and be careful about how you present it to your Warrior forum list.

    If you are worried about the "commission theft" then you should offer a bonus. I use a plugin that delivers their bonus (and adds them to my list) when they verify their receipt. This has worked good for me.

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    Cheers,
    Coby

    P.S. As a sidenote - it's usually hard to sell WSOs to Clickbank lists as well

        No, this plugin was created like 2 years ago. It's called "Automatic Bonus Delivery". I bought it as a WSO a long time ago. I think it might have been created by Jonathan Teng.

        Hope this helps.

    Hi Coby,

    Thank for sharing the name of the plugin. I think the key is in offering a bonus that will compliment the promoted product. I personally think promoting quality product is the key to helping the subscribers.

      I would say if you want to promote click bank offers to them,maybe offer a bonus to entice them to buy from your link, also if they are not an active affiliate on click bank then they won't be able to get there commissions from click bank if they bought from their own link as click bank only pays out once you have more than 3 different cards that purchased a product

    It's a good question. And It's depends on how Internet Marketers interacts on with is it? Any way lot of Warrior Forum members would seek some valuable contents therefore they would be your customer to you anyway.

    From my personal experience - I'm always using Forum signature link building to let customer to access to my page,! I'm really happy to say this from WF i made more than 10 sales with in my signature. So It's not pointless anyway. World's Largest IM market is this so try to list build more accurate people not even useless

    I sent a mailing for a ClickSure product and got clicks but no sales. I don't know if I should send a few more emails to the same or different product to test things out a bit more.

      Are you purchasing the products you send to your list?

        No but I always look up at other peoples reviews, and have a good idea of the quality of the product before promoting.

          There's no better way to presell (particularly CB and CS products) than to buy the products yourself explaining in your own words how it's benefitted you.

          "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

          ...otherwise, you're just throwing someone a link.

      This may or may not make a difference...

      But Clicksure has quickly received the "negative stigma" that Clickbank is working so hard to get away from. Many products that can't be approved at Clickbank are often put on Clicksure as a last resort...

      Not saying the product you promoted wasn't great - but something to keep it mind for the future.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Coby

        That's because the negative stigma is not the payment processor it's the people creating the products. It's the people who go out, do a $500,000 launch and spend $400,000 on a car and record themselves buying it to rap music then send that email to their list showing how 'cool' they are that we don't need in this industry. They ruin it for everyone else. We should all hold ourselves and each other to a hire standard in my opinion.

    I think it will eventually be much more profitable to promote "cheap Wso's" froma a list you built on the Warriorforum than Clickbank products. You'll make more friends here also this way

    Don't promote a product you didn't test yourself and don't promote a person you don't know.

    The only reason to promote someone else is to have them promote you back. Yes, the money is good but the risk of doing it is much greater. One bad promotion can ruin your name forever.

    Know the product, know the person and promote the product as a JV partner not an affiliate. There's a big difference.
