how to sell my own products through clickbank

Hi,

I am currently selling my own designs through sites like Zazzle and Cafepress, they are selling but now I want to add in some of my own products.

If I create my own products, how difficult would it be to add them to Clickbank and try to find affiliates to partner with?

What type of digital products sell?

    start with what you know already and have experience in: your designs... but if you already make money on those marketplaces, why not make more products/improve your stuff? and why not build your own website where you sell your own stuff, thus cutting the middle man?

    And then think about going into another niche where you have to start from scratch?

    And to give an answer to your last 2 questions:
    Adding them to clickbank is easy... getting affiliates can make or break you, especially when you go into a new, unknown field!

    it's very easy, all you need is create a sales page and respect clickbank rules like 60 days money back guarantee and ...
    and create the download page respect clickbank rules
    And welcome to clickbank as vendor
    Good luck

    Clickbank came out with this product called Clickbank University that you might want to check out. I still think they have trial access for $1.

    I've reached a plateau, I lost count at around 20,000 products on Zazzle alone. I do have a website so I can sell my own stuff, I was considering clickbank so that I could get the affiliates, is that how it works?

    Plus I want to have another income stream, right now it's mostly just Zazzle. I wouldn't be starting from scratch, it would be the same designs just on different products that I make myself. All the designs are done and ready to go on products.

    Thanks, that sounds like something I would like to read.

      That's better... the last question "what digital products sell better?" might have induced the possibility of starting in a new niche.

      Don't wait anymore.. go and build an income stream you control because 1 is a dangerous number. If you have 20,000 products then you will clearly see a big improvement in your income and your business.

    Thanks, one that I control, you mean like selling my own stuff from my own site?

    Not products through clickbank?

    Maybe I would like to do both eventually but I can only set up one at a time, so which is better to start with?

      Selling your own stuff from your own website using clickbank. (Clickbank is first a payment processor - which you need for an online shop and if it can also bring some sales or affiliates.. the better.)

        Hi Nino,

        I wanted to provide a bit of clarity. We are not a payment processor. We are an Internet Retailer and Performance Marketing Platform. In our model, we provide numerous services for digital product vendors, but ultimately, the consumer is purchasing the product from ClickBank. This is why we provide tier 1 customer care, handle all sales/VAT taxes and ultimately pay for the product at a wholesale rate.

        Thanks,
        ClickBank Team

          Oh okay, is Clickbank then for digital products only?

          I upload a digital product to Clickbank and they sell it and I get a commission?

          The can I be a product creator and an affiliate and get two commissions?

          Yes, payment processor is an understatement and we know it, but I don't think you "pay at a wholesale rate"... Since you let me do the affiliate getting and do 99% of the marketing so that's a copy paste response to a custom problem, bleu's problem.

          PS. Actually you should improve the payment processing because in the last 2-3 years i couldn't buy anything through clickbank... I tried 2 or 3 debit cards with money on them, obviously, and a paypal account. Most recent try was with longtail pro...but it didn't work.

          Here's another idea: have you tried putting them on all the zazzle similar websites? (Teespring comes to mind)

    So you have products that are selling? Then get on Clickbank RIGHT AWAY.

    It's not difficult to find affiliates, you have the Warrior Forum after all.

    As long as you have a good offer that converts well, and are giving affiliates a decent paycheck, they will promote for you.

    I actually give away free training for this subject, feel free to click on my signature links below.

    Yes! I'm doing it but it's so slow... The other sites except cafepress don't have nearly the variety of products so one design can only make maybe 12 things but on zazzle one design can make 100 products or more.

    Okay, I'll try. What is a good percentage to offer affiliates? And what else should I offer them?
