    There are Clickbank affiliates who are consistently earning 10-20 times that amount. Some far more.

    Consider using more aggressive marketing strategies or dropping underperforming products.

    With over 50,000 products to choose from in virtually any commercially viable niche, Clickbank is a premier affiliate network with untapped potential.

      yes, I agree, i might have become too depressed by several failed attempts, then I gradually lost my way and got very lazy, I lost passion for efforts at some point, and could not phase out the outdated capacity in recent years. I admit I have to make changes, or not, I will lose competition more and more quickly

    I can't understand how this could be Clickbank's fault, especially since you say you were starting making less money before the whole "Trust Badge" and "Always On Portal" changes.

    I can only conclude that it is the way you market those products that is causing your decline in income. But since you haven't told as anything else besides your decreasing income, how could we offer any specific advice?

    In other words, tell us more about your situation, and you'll have better answers.

    Its all about adapting every year. If you have a product, then make a (your product name) 2.0 or something that tells people you are upgrading every year. Even your sales letter will be very important. If you are an affiliate maybe it is time to find another way to get traffic or better website.

    If your referring too the entire year then I'm not sure however Clickbank did recently implement a requirement for all sales pages to include the clickbank logo and security seal. This caused a huge drop in sales around October/November/December. I believe they sorted the issue with a less obtrusive bar but sales are still not as great as they were in the first half of the year.

    I think a lot of the problem is directly related to how internet marketing as a whole is progressing and transforming. The stuff that use to work 8, 5, even 2 years ago is now outdated and not as effective.

    So the big question is, what are you doing to promote your affiliate products? If you're not adapting as internet marketing is progressing, it's only a matter of time before you're not making anything at all.

    I hope that adds some perspective!

    In my opinion, it is the type of traffic and the type of marketing is causing the decline in income and Click Bank is in no way responsible for this. So you need to change the way you market the product and aim to get better quality traffic.

    Hey,


    The biggest mistake that most affiliate marketers make is "quit" as they do not feel contented with whatever they are earning.

    Clickbank is not an easy deal to crack. It takes a hell of patience and hard work to reach the satisfaction level. From my personal affiliate marketing experience, never say the word "QUIT" and just keep going, no matter how things are going.


    Thanks,
    Chintan

      traffic is still stable, I promote a wide range of products in clickbank, but the conversion ratio drops sharply in general, especially the sales generated from niches regarding software & health, many vendors have turned to other networks, such as clicksure, and click2sell. Some products have also gone for ever due to copyright disputes, but I have not found other satisfying alternatives for visitors so far.
