Clickbank & struggles

Hi,


it's hard to give the right advice without seeing your website and the product you are promoting.


You should not talk bad about yourself. I mean you did take action and built everything on your own etc. (at least it sounds like it)

You should be proud of what you accomplished so far.


All you need to do is improving everything you are doing. Look at your website: Does it provide value for people or is it just a simple sales letter? -> people don't like to be sold from someone they don't know without getting some value first.


Twitter can be a good advertising option as well as any other social media platform can be. It depends on the audience you are targeting, the content of the tweet you are promoting and as I already said it also depends on your product and website you are promoting.


Improve, improve, improve, learn new things and don't give up and your results will get better.


Me personally I prefer to promote funnels and opportunities which are 'done for you'. That means I don't have to build everything on my own and think about whether it converts or not. I choose something which does, work with people who have the knowledge and power so that I only need to be good at getting traffic. But that's just me.

The content on your website might be at fault for not having conversions, and that can't be fixed with more money spent on ads.

Choose a different niche. Seriously. For anyone who hasn't already made money online, the chances of success in the MMO market are virtually zero. There's no reason for anyone to listen to you or trust your recommendations.

If you want to blog, find a niche you know something about where you can write interestingly or entertainingly. Or find an existing market you can get in front of and supply it with the sort of products or services they're already buying.

Check your internal attitude and what you are saying to yourself.

If you see yourself as a failure, you will fail no matter what you do.

Go to Youtube and watch "The Strangest Secret In The World" by Earl Nightingale.

Listen to that over and over and over again.

Firstly, I'd like to congratulate you on how far you've come so far in your business so far and by the sound of things, you're not as 'new' to making money online as you think you're. I'm going to assume that you're at this stage of your doing and that you've had no outside help and if this is the case then, in my opinion, you're well away from the starting blocks; leaving your newbie self behind.

The numbers don't sound too shabby either because from how you've described it, it sounds as if Twitter is your only traffic source. My advice to you would be that if you're sending your visitors directly to the affiliate offer you're promoting, think about sending them to your capture/landing page instead so you can build your email list even further.

As I mentioned, if Twitter is your only traffic source then start getting your head around using other platforms; including YouTube and Facebook.
Don't stress yourself out, you're building the foundations of a hopefully thriving online venture but it takes time: there's no way around this fact and that's the truth.

All in all, you sound like you have a hunger to succeed online which is a great attribute to have. Your hunger will make you commit to the success of your business. Keep on giving value to people and they'll want to reward by buying from you, because people buy from other people that they trust. I hope this helps!

Hi Mrlowbot, I can resonate with you completely. I've been working on my website about Healthy Living and Wellness since January 2020. In the beginning I was using blogger before setting up my website and I did very well but ever since commissions have been very few and far between. I like to think it is how Peter42 put it. You just need to keep putting the time in and hopefully something finally gives. That is what I'm hoping to do and to be fair I've had more hops on ClickBank but I know how frustrating it is. I guess as people have said in this thread keep working on building your list and also my advice if have any banners or links to landing pages set up Bitly links so you can see how many people are clicking. If you are getting a lot of clicks but no opt-ins or sales you may want to consider changing the urls or the content inside them.

Would you expect to be a good Doctor if you knew as much about medicine as you do about marketing?

Your struggles are self inflicted wounds. It's a bit like punching yourself in the face and going to a forum asking people why you keep getting black eyes. The cure is to stop punching yourself in the face.

Frank gave you the cure. But I guess you just want relief. Someone to tell you it will be okay. It won't. You came online and adopted a model sold to you as quick and easy. How quick and easy are you finding it?

You were conned by frauds.

The cure is to stop chasing money and look real bloody hard at how you can add actual value to people's lives. If you can't do that then you are a commodity. Worse, you are competing in a market chocked to brim full of liars, cheats and frauds. Even worse, you are marketing to people who are the most marketed to, the most lied to, the most skeptical, the most unloyal, and the least wiling to spend more than a couple of bucks on a product.

The market you chose is the worst one you could have chosen. That single decision is responsible for most, if not ALL of your current problems.

Be honest with yourself: Do you really want a cure? Or is it relief you are after?

Last thing: If you honestly believe you are adding value to people's lives, then you should be able to take the information you are giving them on your blog or landing page, and use it to be successful yourself. The fact you aren't doing this shows that what you are putting in front of people isn't valuable at all.

It would be kind of weird if you were succeeding rather than struggling. The latter is clearly the expected outcome, so why complain? I mean, the predicted outcome is showing up, isn't it? Or did you just expect to push buttons, pull levers and flick switches like a trained monkey and succeed regardless?

Common sense my friend. Something sorely missing in the overwhelming majority of humans.

Anyone telling you that you should be proud of your accomplishments thus far, is either lying to you or they are deluded. Anyone can create a website. Anyone can create a landing page. Anyone can copy a headline from a direct response marketer who has been dead for 80 years. And anyone can sign up to be an affiliate. So the next question is, what have you accomplished that actually made a difference?

You are more than capable of succeeding. But you simply can't expect to succeed by doing things anyone can do. A factory worker gets paid factory worker money. An assembly line worker gets paid assembly line worker money.

I have a number of MMO niche sites and I promote Clickbank offers in these niches. To make any money you need a lot of traffic. With 600 high quality, targeted visitors a day I made around two sales a week.


Also the Clickbank products in this niche are mostly junk/borderline scams. Earnings per click are laughably low compared to AdSense or Ezoic.


Other niches are better these days. Dating is still good as 90% of sites in this niche are trash, so quality stands out.

I know about affiliate marketers having a ton of success promoting ClickBank offers using solo ads to build an email list, when I was starting out and I didn't know what I was doing I paid for bot traffic that ended up nowhere, that is definitely not a good feeling.
The first good experience with solo ads I had was with udimi, their filters are so strict that you may feel safer about getting real clicks and not fake ones.

Look into Facebook and Instagram Marketing.
I personally have never had any luck with Twitter.

Instagram is exceptionally good for Traffic. Worth a shot....Better than Twitter anyway for these types of products.

Good Luck
