Should I jump into selling my fitness program on clickbank or where should I start?

10 replies
Hi guys, over the last 2 years I lost a great amount of weight during taking a personal training and nutrition course. During the time of qualifying I always thought that I wanted to sell my fitness programs, not to make a fortune but just to make an income. I documented my progress with videos and photos. I'm pretty skilled at web design and marketing and I also have another fitness instructor and a web designer as friends who are willing to help me out.

I would like to be on clickbank as a vendor selling my fitness program and gather affiliates, I was considering selling it for $15 - $25 upon completion. However I am just wondering, where should one start prior to clickbank?

Should you begin by selling on Fiverr? Or are there other places should you should sell on first?

If I had a second question it would be, are ebooks on clickbank the best way to go (given my situation) or should I just get into a membership site to capture a few people or sell videos etc.

I really want to focus on one thing and do it right.

Thanks.

    Depending on how much content you have in place i.e. videos, audios, ebooks etc, I would recommend to build your back end (high ticket) product first and then take elements from that to create your front end low ticket product and then sell through JVzoo with a huge commission payout on the front end say 80-100% to test the copy, then move it over to Clickbank and have a ton of affiliate tools created you can provide.

    That's just my take, hope that helps.

      Interesting, thanks for the info, I really was thinking ClickBank straight away initially but then I was concerned about jumping in at the deep end.

      The WP method sounds good, I guess ebooks are still my best bet any how.

    Direct selling would be the place to start.

    Sell directly from your site using whatever traffic methods you already are. Once you start gaining some momentum, you can put it on places like click2sell, clickbank etc. to gain affiliates and have them doing the work for you.

    Always remember though, when you get affiliates it is because you have a good converting offer (which you typically need proof of) and you are offering high percentage of commissions.

    So once you go the aff route, make sure your product is already rolling hard so the drop[ in money you see per sale won't make a difference because you'll have thousands of them coming in.

    Yeah sell it for $25. You can start by putting it up on your site and start promoting it via PPC. Don't sell it for $5 on fiverr. Go to Clickbank and Paydotcom to get affiliates, and make sure you have a followup product to sell to your customers immediately after they buy from you.

    I would start first with an ebook. The membership site can come later as a form of "continuity" product.

    You can also look at selling on the Amazon Kindle. Of course it would only be for ebooks. I would stay away from Fiverr unless you use it as part of a sales funnel to market a main product from your site.

    It was back in 2001 or so that I decided to put my fitness programs online, to see if they would sell.

    For me, it was almost necessity... since the gym I was working at, as a personal trainer, closed down.

    so, I had read a book on internet marketing and gave it a shot.

    Over the course of 9 years... one of my fitness program sold over $2 million dollars worth.

    So yes, I would say it's worth it.

    For me, it was all about learning marketing, copywriting, and traffic generation.

    I would NOT go on Fiverr... you're immediately lowering your value.

    Same with Kindle, I'd stay away from selling for $10 or less.

    I used Clickbank, and so do most of the top fitness marketers.

    Try selling your ebook on Clickbank.. get some traction, and from there you can always branch off to other ebooks, membership sites, etc... or go into supplements like i did, coaching, seminars, webinars, etc...

    the cool thing about fitness... you're wide open in terms of what you can do. But start with an ebook, get it marketed and out there... and take some of that money/success and move onto the next project.

    Ebooks, audio, video, newsletters, supplements, seminars... you can literally build a fitness empire, all starting from a single ebook.

    As far as I am aware, Fiverr is not a marketplace for products.

    Listing on Clickbank is fine but you need to remember that it is only a payment/affiliate platform. What I mean by that is if you list your product and then hope a whole heap of sales will start happening, it's not the case at all. Maybe years ago but not anymore.

    These days it really doesn't matter where you list your product whether it be on Clickbank or another service such as JVZoo. At the end of the day the sales and affiliate recruitment is up to you.

    Why not list it in several marketplaces? It doesn't just have to be one place OR another.

    I would try selling it on your own website via PayPal.
    I did something similar and then moved it to Clickbank as a recurring billing product.
    Remember there is a lot of competition on Clickbank for health related products.
