Promote physical product affiliate plan

14 replies
Good day all,

I recently invented a product that I now sell online. Since it is tangeable, ClickBank apparently won't work.
I am using an affiliate plugin for word press and it functions great but now I need to get exposure for the affiliate program. Are there alternatives to click bank that will allow me to sell a physical product?
Aside from traditional ads such as reddit, facebook, google adwords, etc, what other options are available?

Thank you very much!

    hi,
    you should share some info about your product so it would be more easy to refer you a best alternative and one thing more that click bank is not for physical products you can try ebay,alibaba and also amazon.com these site is for physical products.

    Thanks guys. Sorry, I didn't want to violate any terms by making it look like I was trying to promote.
    Monster Grips™ is my product. www.monstergrips.com
    I recently set up an affiliate system where anyone can make 20% on every pack sold.
    It would be amazing if ClickBank allowed physical product promotion, but any other ideas would be great. Thank you for the feedback so far.

      Most serious Clickbank musician product affiliates probably would want a better commission than just a $1.80 per sale. It takes quite a bit of time and funds to acquire a possible lead and turn them into a sale. Even for myself already owning one of the largest musician subscriber lists on the web, I wouldn't send it out to them unless you had significant upsells or some sort of recurring income program attached to it. Nice product though.

    I'm in the process of having a product manufactured in China. I've signed up with ShareASale as my affiliate network. There are plenty of others like Link Share and Commission Junkie but I thought ShareASale was the best value for me.

    You actually have to market your product to affiliates. Just signing up at one of these networks won't attract tons of affiliates. It will however give you a prebuilt reputation and assurance to affiliates that they'll be paid for their work.

    Cool Product. You might want to contact some owners of guitar training courses and seeing if they'd like to add this as a bonus. Could be a pain for them if everything they do is electronic but it would give them an excuse to get address info from paying customers and send them something physical. That could lead to other opportunities for owners of the guitar training courses. Could be a win, win and all you have to do is some research and write some letters. Sorry I don't know anyone personally to refer you to.

      Good idea. I would contact the aforementioned businesses and offer to drop ship it for them. They offer the product to their list, or as a back end product, etc. you receive an email it's been purchased. You ship it out. Then you can either pay the business that the sale came from or they can pay you - however you set it up.

    Is it not possible to promote your products online yet then sell it offline? There's a lot of people that do that and has no problem. I believe commission junction may be able to help you with what you're looking for.

    You could go the route of good old fashioned mail order where you rent a list and things like that.

    FWIW - I would focus on branding and selling the monster grips. I'd make them available in different quantities sample (3), then 8, 16, 24, etc. or offer a "price per pick" as in let the customer chose the quantity and charge say .99 per pick for 1-10, .89 per pick 11-25, etc. then I'd sell your how to videos on a different platform. I'd even consider putting the how to videos on YouTube and other video sites for free but wear the "monster pick" t-shirt and put a monster pick watermark on it, then link viewers to your picks.

    One last thing. I'm sure you've already done this but.. I'd make sure to reach out to Found My Passion - Guitar, Justin Guitar | Free Guitar Lessons, Pickingzone, and HOME - The Soundhouse Guitar & Record Shop and find out what it would take for them to offer your product on their site, blog, store, etc since they all made contributions to your kick start.
