For all you Clickbankers out there....

That's exactly why, you need to spend more time learning about what to do. You can only implement at the level of education you have in the field. Look for case studies.

You can't expect to achieve much in 2 months. It took me almost 4 years before I was actually making enough money online to pay my bills and live a relatively comfortable lifestyle. And I also worked 6-7 days a week at least 8 hours a day at building my business also. I failed many, many times, but when you finally succeed, it makes it all worth it. Trust me on that.

Let me tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and if you want to get anywhere as an Internet Marketer it is going to require LOTS of hard work, persistence, monetary investment, resilience and a bunch of other skills that are too many to name in this thread in order to achieve success.

If you are a person who gives up easily or takes a lot of stock in negative things others say, you won't get very far in this business.

Starting, running, and growing a successful Internet Marketing business is no different than a brick & mortar business. In fact, I think you need many more skills to run an online business than you do a traditional brick & mortar business.

In short, you need to be a hard charger and willing to work until your fingers cramp from typing on the keyboard and your eyes hurt from looking at the monitor. And you need to do that EVERY day in the beginning.

I am not trying to be a downer. I'm actually trying to help you by being real with you and not lying to you and telling you you can make $5K a week by next month. The reality is 99% of people who get into IM fail. IM is a long, hard road. If you are not willing to dedicate yourself to the journey 100%, maybe it's best not to start.

Since junk is a relative term, I don't know that there will ever be a general classification of junk products that will come to a bang. People create a product and think it's the best thing ever. A customer buys it and thinks its junk. That's been happening for decades, even offline. (late night infomercial anyone?)

Affiliates don't always know what exactly they are promoting either. They are sold on promoting the product the same way the customer is sold. (A convincing JV page, pitch page). But affiliates rarely buy the product first.

You are probably right. When it comes to info products, peoples BS radars have become more advanced, and those people may end up seeking out better value, better quality, a better deal, or simply visit wikipedia or a blog instead if they want to learn about a certain topic.

I do believe that allot of information that is available online for free, is simply being re written and repackaged for sale. But that doesn't stop there being a market for it. Also, the amount of products covering the same topic etc will also never cease. If book libraries had only one book per topic on a shelf, it would be a very small library. So CB has thousands of eBooks and courses on the same IM topics, and unfortunately many could be considered junk.

But as long as affiliates make money promoting these products, (or are allowed to make money from (junk) by the powers that be) then there will be a market.
As for products that are made for the purpose of a business tool, such as software, scripts background music, graphics etc, Clickbank does have some quality products on there.

One doesn't have to be frustrated to make that statement. I fully agree that this exists. I get emails that sound like: "Because I love you, my valued subscriber, I have a great recommendation for you today. I had to twist my friends arm to get you this deal, but you have to hurry, click here now before it's gone. I'll be back tomorrow to help you out some more!"

But that seems to be the game for a large percentage of newer affiliates who learn that all you have to do to make money online is 1. Build a list. 2. Pretend to be their friend. 3. Find products to promote. 4. Fire away.....

Some people are not at a level yet to learn from people who are "making millions" off this stuff. Sure, the "mindset" that financially successful people have is good to take notes on, but the reason they have a large cash flow is because they sometimes inject hundreds of thousands of $ "into" their business operations.

I think that's where most get discouraged. When they finally come across a millionaire good guy who drops a reality check by breaking down how much it really "costs" to make his kind of income online.

On this forum, they have a WAMA (Warrior ask me anything) question and answer session for members of the war room). Some of the topics and advice given by the experienced marketer hosting the show, is so far detached from the current level of most of the attendees, that I personally don't see the point.

What most newcomers will end up with is a stack of notes that may be useful someday, but by the time that someday comes, much of the notes will be outdated.

So stop attending, learning, taking notes, and go do something today online that gives you an opportunity for someone to click a "buy now" button and send you money for something of quality.

P.S. There's more to life than Clickbank.
