    You're not targeting the right market, you might think you are. Maybe the offer is ridiculous as well so even if the market is close to right for your product, if the offer is horrible you could get 10k clicks and no sales.

        You need to research your prospective buyers. Go on google and find some forums and magazines that they visit and check the demographics of these forums and magazines on quantcast.com, that demographic is your target market.

    Not easy to say without seeing anything you're doing at all, but I have a very strong hunch that you must be doing something that doesn't fulfil the three fundamentals of promoting ClickBank products as an affiliate. Here they are: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

    You're trying to sell them without list-building, aren't you? (It's clear from your figures!).

    This post (and the others linked to inside it) may also help you: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8514438

    And three afterthoughts, in case they also help ...

    (i) Here are some suggestions on "product selection", in case you picked an awkward one: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post2161932

    (ii) Here are some observations about "gravity" in case you picked a high-gravity one ...
    Promoting high gravity CB products . Is it really that bad or there is a way ?
    Gravity High or Lower - Which Sells Best & Why?
    Clickbank gravity - is there a sweet-spot here?
    Understanding Clickbank Gravity
    Clickbank Gravity

    (iii) In case you picked a product in an "IM-niche" or "MMO-niche", the reason you can't get paid for a sale might be that your customers are ClickBank affiliates themselves, in which case they'll mostly be buying the product through their own hoplinks rather than through yours (ClickBank allows this). So there's little point in trying to promote any of those, as an affiliate.

    That's as specific as anyone can be, without seeing what you're doing. But long experience leads me to believes that your answer will be "in there somewhere": I think all those threads, between then, cover over 95% of people's "problems" (maybe even 99%!).

    ============================

    Edited to add ...

    That's very often a recipe for failure. For the reasons explained just above. But that's not a certainty, and there may also be other, contributing reasons. (But what is a "certainty" is that that's no way to select products!).

        "Oi vey" (whatever that means).

        Yes, I'm afraid that's extremely unlikely to work at all, for a large number of reasons. You're stacking the deck against yourself in too many different ways, with that combination of "accidents". Most of them are covered by the posts I've linked to above. Sorry there's so much reading there, but I really do think it will help you greatly.

        (And in the longer term, this also wouldn't hurt, to be honest: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8109462 ).

        I urge you not to continue what you're doing, anyway, because 24,970 hops are probably no more likely to produce a sale, that way, than the 2,497 hops you've already had. Sorry.

            I don't, sorry. All the ones I've seen (and that's quite a lot, because there seem to be huge numbers of them around) have been dreadfully misguided and full of factually incorrect drivel drawn from the teachings of the Urban Myth School of Internet Marketing. This is a subject on which, sadly, there seems to be floods of misinformation and misguided advice online, and it seems to me that (for whatever reasons) video particularly attracts that.

    Back when I was a vendor on clickbank I'd get affiliates sending crazy amounts of traffic with literally 0 conversion.

    So... I'm not really surprised.

    The question you have to ask is where are you getting the traffic?

    I can answer that for you; nowhere good.

    There's another question I can answer for you. A question you should be asking.

    How well are you targeting and communicating with your target demographic?

    The answer; not very well.

    It's a Yiddish saying Alexa, which is short for "Oy vey iz mir," meaning- Oh, woe is me!

    Agreed.

      Thank you, I thought it was something like "Oh woe", I didn't know the rest.

    Where does the traffic comes from? You can have 2 millions clicks and no sales if that traffic isnt interested in your offer

    How did you drive traffic to your offers rossthomp191 ?
    It is super easy to drive thousands of people wherever you want real cheap but if they aren't interested in your message you've just lost time and money!
    You have to focus on driving targeted traffic and even smaller numbers will give you better results
    Good luck,

    Hellos Ross, you need to provide more information if you need for others on here to help you like what is your traffic source and what niche are you targeting, those are 2 very important areas to consider. It seems your traffic is not targeted, i presume you bought some of those traffic packages that only provide visitors to your website. Also
    the niche you are targeting may have a low demand and people are just not interested.
    I recommend you search on this forum for posts on how to get targeted traffic.

    Mark Joiner, in his The Great Formula, says that the secret is to find a thirsty crowd and sell them a glass of water.

    You have to find a target market that really wants what you have to sell, then you have to make them an irresistible offer.

    High gravity click bank products may mean lots of sales, but it also means high competition. If your target market has seen the offer a million times, they won't be that interested.

    I would suggest a two stage approach. Create or buy a plr product that you can give away for free. Use that as your bait to get people onto your list. Use an email autoresponder sequence to build trust with that audience, then send them not just the one offer, but subtly, four or five of the best ones you think you can find on click bank.

    Keep working on your own products or buying ones with resell rights or PLR rights that you can call your own. Sweeten the offer by adding your own bonus. If the bonuses get big enough, then the offer becomes even more irresistible.

    Conversion is the key, but it lies in the target market and the offer.
