Is someone teaching Clickbank scams again?
Everynow and then I get an embaressed email from someone who has tried to "modify" Clickbank sales info (please don't ask me how, because I'd prefer not to spread these dodgy ideas around) so they can "snap up a bargain".
I sell two products from the one Clickbank account - 1 for $147, 1 for $47. Two completely different products.
I've had two people in the last two days buy the cheap product thinking they're getting a cracking deal on the first product. They pay their money, and then sheepishly need to ask for refunds after they buy the wrong product, and find their download is blocked anyway.
I remember a long time ago this method was taught by dodgy people who considered themselves to be brilliant hackers, showing people how to "stick it to the man!"
Basically they're looking to exploit product listings to get the product cheaper.
There's some major flaws in this idea though:
1) When "sticking it to the man", you'll more often than not find yourself "sticking it to some guy who is just trying to make some extra money to help out his family". Most sites are run by sole traders - real people, trying to make some extra cash to support their family. Not faceless corporations, or trillionairs who won't notice the money gone.
2) Systems such as DLGuard protect against this sort of behaviour, blocking your download anyway, and you'll find yourself having to write an embaressing email to the site owner.
3) You can sometimes find yourself buying a totally different product if that vendor sells more than one product from the one Clickbank account, and then you'll find yourself having to write an embaressing email to the site owner.
I don't usually express my opinion on things too strongly, as I believe everyone has the right to their own opinion, but if you're new to all this, and you're following the words of a self-labelled "guru" who is teaching you this method of theft, unsubscribe from their mailing list.
Not only are they teaching you something that would probably be considered fraud/theft, but if they're teaching this method then they obviously don't have the experience to see the issues involved. Ie. You're learning from a beginner.
If you want to create a long term, solid business that will continue to earn for you well into the future, then you need to learn real business practices from real people. Taking shortcuts, using people, and exploiting people is the path to business failure.
On another note, Happy New Year!
