Promoting ClickBank Products

[mastermoog]

Warning: Newbie.

Hi,

I am about to start a program based on promoting CB products. I am curious as to what kind of results others are getting by promoting CB products as an affiliate? Also how do you rate the payment services at CB?

Thanks for help

Simon

Hi Simon,

I make quite a significant portion of my overall online income from promoting Clickbank products. If you do it right, it can be very lucrative.

In terms of their payment services I have never had any problem - I use the direct payment into my bank account and it goes in every two weeks like clockwork.

Cheers,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne i'm interested in this can you share how you really did it? Just take 1 case study. PM me if you dont mind.

Thanks

Hi Simon,

Clickbank can be great. I've been getting
paid like clockwork from them for years.

But your results are going to vary depending
on what you promote - it all comes down to
the quality of the salespage. Some are just
much better than others at getting visitors
to part with their cash.

Do some research before you choose something
to promote, try and find the salespage that
moves you personally the most, and promote
that one.

Obviously it's not guaranteed to work, but doing
it that way is better than just choosing something
at random.

Hope that helps.

Yeah the sales pages vary greatly and you can see why some don't sell much and others do.

Put yourself in the mindset of the buyer when looking at a sales page and think 'would I buy this?'

In terms of promoting information products clickbank is the best out there

Thank you all for your replies. I really appreciate your time. So i guess it's fair to say then that CB is a great way to start out as an affiliate online. I understand i will need to learn the basics first and develop some sound marketing techniques if i am to get anywhere in IM.

My first goal is to reach $250p/w promoting CB products. I intend to achieve this through Bryan Zimmerman's method outlined in his ebook "The Newbie Wookbook" that i signed up for in the WSO forum. I like to be real when it comes to building a business. I know earning $4k p/m in online income doesn't just happen overnight but with perseverance and hard work i hope it will soon be a reality for me. I just need to know from those warriors that have honestly set out and achieved this already; Can promoting say 1 or 2 decent CB products and marketing effectively achieve $250 p/w within say a month?

Thanking you,
Simon

There are many people out there who are good at promoting ClickBank products and many more who are not. I have about 10 websites that are a perfect fit for some clickbank products. I send approx. 300 hops/month to 10 offers. Two years later, not one sale. Reason: I don't pre-sell the product so the sales page has to do all the work, which it does not. Lesson learned: you must do a good job of warming up your prospect or you will not make a dime. After I'm done with my current projects, I'm going to turn back to promoting CB products and will try to see if I can't get it to work.

I've used Clickbank with not so good results, but that's absolutely my fault, not Clickbank's.

I've moved onto selling physical products mainly and have some good results. I do promote ebooks, but not like I used to before.

I too have not had much luck with clickbank products but i know i didn't put enough effort into it which is why i didn't see any results. But since moving on to phyical products i've seen a varst improvemnt on ROI

Hey thanks Tom,

You know it's Interesting you mention 'warming up your prospects'. I just stumbled on an article that outlines the importance of providing an excellent review site for any product you wish to promote. Excellent in that as the pre-seller's we must do our best to create a connection with the consumer and develop a quality rapport.

It's always been said that the first ten seconds of connecting with someone is the most important ten seconds of the relationship. It sets a standard and forms a template for how the relationship will go. I think this would ring true online as well, if not more so, because its everybody online is so anonymous. So based on that i would presume that building rapport and establishing a deep connection with your potential customers is vital and should even be high priority when developing a quality CB campaign, or heck any campaign for that matter.

Perhaps rapport could be directly linked with sales? Obviously no-one will buy from some random person just because they had some generic info site explaining what the product is. People do want connections.. i think this is also why Mack Michaels of MaverickMoneyMakers has an exceptional Landing page and is doing so well in CB at the moment. He understands the power of rapport.

Hmm something to think about anyway. I think i will do some research in this area and develop a list of "warm-up" techniques.

Now here's something I am interested. I am a lousy English writer but can always ask writers to use those techniques in my sales pages.

They pay, however you have to reach 5 sales before getting paid.

Haha yeah i'd probably want more than 5 sales anyway considering i have to pay the bank fees to convert into aussie $$! It'd really suck to earn $20, have the check sent all the way over here than pay $20 to convert!

Suzanne,

how did you set clickbank account to get money directly to your bank account? I dont' see such option..... check only.

After you have recieved 3 checks from your Clickbank account, there is the option under "account settings" I believe, to change your payment method to direct deposit.

Hope this helps.

Good luck man, yes you definitely can make money with CB. It's incredibly popular.

The payment is great, personally I hate receiving checks because you have to keep track of them in case one gets lost in the mail AND I get hit for foreign check charges. So now I use their direct deposit which gets wired to my account, extremely satisfying to check my bank balance every few days and see it even more inflated.

CB pays very well when they are functioning optimally. And the products Dbase is awesome
