Are There any good Clickbank products?

17 years ago

You should not try to find a product that is currently selling well because there are too much competition. You will generate more sales from clickbank if you are able to find a product from that is related to your website in a less popular niche.

Hey Trumph,

Instead of looking for a product, look for a problem that most people are having. Once you find a problem then you can find a product to solve it.

If you don't find a product then hire someone to create one for you and that is your goldmine.

  Yes - gravity can be manipulated, but ultimately popularity is a tough thing to manipulate. If you find a product in the top couple of pages of listings, then chances are it is moving quite well as the marketplace returns products based on popularity. Do you know for sure that affiliates are being successful with it - not really since that can be faked - but do you know that it is selling - yes.
  
  I suggest you find a niche where you see some products in the top few pages of returns and spend a few weeks building traffic, testing some opt-in campaigns (reports, e-courses, etc...) so you can begin building a list - then you can offer them a few products and see which one sells the best.

yes and no. A few months ago i tended to say the same thing, i avoided the high ultra-high gravity stuff usually.

But i changed my thinking.

One reason is a recent post about how fatloss4idiots made their $21MIL - because they do NOT targeted keywords (aka "weight loss") and do NOT advertise on difficult, already saturated markets eg. related to weight loss.

From that point of view you can very well take ANY product (also ultra saturated niches) but just start thinking out of the box.

Eg. i just started selling a pretty "common" product from CB myself wheer i thought the market is pretty much "full up to the rim"....but the product has shown to be VERY rich in keywords and i found great keywords for a product where you woudl think that everyone and their mama already promotes it.

gravity:

I have reason to doubt MANY gravity values and i think/know that some vendors actually fake them. I see that the biggest JUNK products get the best gravity. Everytime a so called "G-U-R-U" releases some boring kindergarden level "coaching" it gets ultra gravity because everyone sells it. If a product pays out GOOD it also gets very high gravity.

HOWEVER - you can take gravity as a very rough indication how well a product goes. ALSO look at the refund rate please. There must be SOME reason for high gravity, so it is a first indicator for a successful product. (AGAIN: Exceptions can happen, there are high grav products with almost 50% refund rate also).

But, id rather try to sell a higher grav product because i can assume that there is a reason it sells that well...and if it works for others it might also work for me. THAT BEING SAID...there are also great products with low gravity.

Thanks

- The refund rate for ClickBank products cannot be calculated
- A refund rate of 50% is not possible (the product would be withdrawn)

The Complete Guide To ClickBank

This is a question that crops up frequently, and all kinds of answers get thrown out. Mostly, in my opinion, they are wrong.

The thing is that ClickBank gravity is a measure of how some other people are able to sell a product - not how you may sell it. If ever a warning of 'results aren't typical' should be applied to something it is this.

Affiliate marketing is a lot more than just picking a high (or medium or whatever measure you use) gravity product from the ClickBank marketplace and putting up a page to sell it. Good, effective affiliate marketing is about building your own reputation for recommending worthwhile products and then making sure that the people you are recommending them to are interested in the first place.

It is about two things: authority and targeting.

It really doesn't matter if you are a list marketer or a review site builder or a blogger - unless your readers are interested in the product's niche and trust your judgement it really doesn't matter what success or otherwise anyone else is having because yours will be minimal.

My advice is to properly review anything you hope to recommend. By that I mean get hold of a copy (ask for a review copy, or actually buy it), use it, read it, test it out, decide if it really has merit and then, and only then, write about your experiences with it.

Credibility. ClickBank has a lot of junk in its marketplace and recommending the rubbish won't win you any kudos. But if you've taken the time to weed out the chaff to find the really good stuff (of which there is also a lot) your readers will appreciate you in the longer term.

Yes, buying products to review can be expensive, but it is a cost of doing business. When you build your reputation and credibility the right way, it is a tiny cost that is far outweighed by the returns on your investment.

And don't write a sales page. The biggest mistake new affiliate marketers make is to think they are salespeople. They are not. They are recommenders. If you go to the pub with your mates and someone asks you about something you've bought, you don't launch into a hard sell, you tell them about your experiences. You pre-sell. Then, when they go to the actual sales page, they are already excited and positively predisposed to buy.

There is much nonsense spouted about affiliate marketing in general and ClickBank in particular - usually by people who are not very good at it - but get it right and it is a fine way to do business.

It is definitely tough to find the good ones. It took me a lot of experimenting and testing to find the better sellers, plus the ones that are not returned as much. My suggestion would be to look for products in the 30-70 gravity range, find a niche you like and buy it or ask for a review copy so you can take a look yourself.

You have to do some research . . . first you think of some niches that interest you. Then you consider factors like whether you can think of anything to sell to people in the niche, and whether they would buy it. For example, you need to know how to find clickbank products to sell, so I could write an ebook telling you how to do it.

Then you can do some keyword research using the google adwords keyword tool to see what people are searching for related to that niche.

In other words, start from the ground up, and look for products (or create them) based on what you have determined should be selling well.

Once you take the time to pinpoint what are the key wants/needs of the buying public, use a tool like CB Analytics to look at the overall trend of products that are competing within that niche.

Don't just let the gravity be your determining factor, use this site to look at various Clickbank statistics among these products.

There are a lot of them.

First, as Casey said, find a problem that a lot of people have. Then find a product that solves the problem. If there's no product, then create your own.

To name a few good ones - Fat Loss 4 Idiots, Magic of Making up, FAP Turbo etc.

Thanks

I think you have to choose a product in a niche where: there are customers hungry to buy, but it's also possible to create a presence for yourself and build traffic for promotion.

Unfortunately, some niches are way too oversaturated (although this might be a good thing because there are more customers wanting to buy), but you need a product at the same time that people want to go out and buy.

I'm not sure this is true for everyone, but I've had more success promoting products in which I have an interest in the niche, and hence I can understand the problems/concerns more and convert that into the monetisation.

Thanks

Martin,

you have some very good points.

Good, effective affiliate marketing is about building your own reputation for recommending worthwhile products and then making sure that the people you are recommending them to are interested in the first place.

You know, this is why i started to put 120% of my efforts now into article marketing. This might contradict what you say a bit, because no one on ezine or goarticles "knows" me in that sense.

However, in an article (or on your blog or site for that matter) you can "prove" the reader that you are an authority, because you are writing about the subject/problem.

For example, i might call myself pretty much a "computer geek", if i write an article about computers i can create a sense of "authority" by what i am writing or saying because i know my stuff. At the end of the article/blog...the reader might have confidence in me and my knowledge and check out my recommended product - and BUY.

As opposed to having a tiny adwords ad going straight to some vendor "sales page" which only consists of marketing hype. This explains why review blogging/article marketing can convert 1:15 or better and the same thing on PPC converts 1:90, AND you need to pay google for the clicks <---

Great tips!

Thanks

Great discussion, that was a real eye opener. I have been exploring CB to promote the right product with my new twitter ebook. As Martin suggested it's a good idea to get a review copy of the product . Study it and then you can think of recommending it your list or on your blog, website, people interested in that niche.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks

Generally, products on clickbank's first page sell well.

Just make your research before promoting. Just type your product name in Google and see what's going on.

look in affiliate forums, what other affiliates say about this product?

The point with affiliate marketing is to ultimately create your own products in the niche.

If I could find a product that I knew sold well than I would be more motivated to work on my sales/landing pages.

I appreciate any help you guys can offer.

As important as the product itself is, the sales page is even more important.

Many decent CB products have crappy sales pages! The best approach is to study the sales page and the CB stats like gravity in a wholeistic manner. Everything counts.

I'd rather sell a ok product with a great sales page than a great product that has a bad sales apge.
