Clickbank products

those long webpages describing the product giving a huge sales pitch which most of the time sounds cheesy and you cant even really be bothered to read till the end

That's because you've involved in IM, for regular folks, they worked

If not, the product owner's sure changed them long time ago (based on split testing)

People here complained about pop up/under, but they worked, that's why you keep seeing them

I find that many "seem dodgy", myself. But there are 13,500 active products there, so that still leaves room for a few thousand good ones and a few hundred blindingly brilliant ones, doesn't it?

Some do; some don't - as can more or less be seen from Clickbank's figures.

No; certainly not. It's you and many other people, too. But that still leaves millions of people who it "isn't", you know?

Are you talking about buying them, or promoting them as an affiliate?

If you meant buying them, bear in mind that Clickbank's a retailer. The vendors are many thousands of different people all using Clickbank's facilities to retail their products. There are good ones and bad ones. I think most of us would agree that there are quite a lot of bad ones, but that's partly because the "entry barriers" are so low, there's comparatively little quality control, and Clickbank isn't taking any financial risk by taking on new products.

If you meant promoting them, yes, there are people earning 6-figure and 7-figure incomes selling them, but you certainly have to select wisely the ones you'd want to promote, which is an underrated and essential skill to acquire.

Clickbank is great in its transactions. Refund processing is phenomenally smooth. The products posted in the marketplace can be a hit or miss. You have to do the research and judge for yourself. If it looks cheesy and sketch, 99% it is. If it only pitches you dream avoid it. As for Clickbank, they are a great site to do business with.

90% of my sales come from clickbank.

I have 5 product.

1 brings in maybe $80 a week.

the other 4 combined bring in about 4k - 5k a month. Give or take.

It is not about the merchant clickbank. It is all about traffic, your sales page and your sales funnel. Get these right and you will never have to work a day in your life again.

It took me a few years, but I can say safely, that all my hard work now pays off big time.

I do not blame clickbank like other people....if your sales are low, I blame my sales page, messages, AR messages, copywriting, funnels, prices, marketing overall.

It is all about testing. I love it when people bag clickbank...that just means there is less competition for me and my niches.

I love teh fact that people say clickbank sucks, although myself and my IM friends earn a heck of alot through cb. I am not showing off, I am merely using this to say that if your marketing is great, and you copy is too, and you are getting targeted traffic....then seriously why would people bother using clickbank to buy off you.

Makes you wonder ey?

I used to think it was some one or something that was giving me the bum's rush, but now I see that it has been me mostly all along. I don't accuse others of sabotaging my efforts. Clickbank has 1000s of products to sell and as a publisher you can sell your own products. I think they carry on an excellent service for all of us. Maybe you need some more effort with some of the products and learn ways of picking products that sell. Good Luck.

Yes clickbank is a very good source of income. There are lots of products out there. How study what is the best thing to do.

As always, Alexa has some great posts and people should be very grateful that she takes the time to post such great information.

I totally agree that a lot of the products on clickbank are from people that can not make money with affiliate marketing, so they write up a manual or rehash some old material and repackage it and then sell it as their own.

A while ago I read a thread on a forum I think, please don't quote me on that, but I think it was a thread. Anyways it was called "Bull****ting your way to internet riches". It was really a great read. It is about promoting your product and yourself as being successful, even though you know nothing but what you have read and seen other people doing.

I promote a couple of products from clickbank that do very well. The products that I promote actually do not have a high gravity, and I am not sure that I am not the only person in the world promoting them, but they are unique and work for me.

All that being said...Here is my biggest tip for selling clickbank products.

Go to the sales page, and try your hardest to step out of your Internet Marketing mindset. Now read through the sales page and ask yourself if you would purchase the product. If you would then it is a product that you should investigate more into promoting. If not then just bypass it and move on.

Another tip, just as a side note, if I am promoting a clickbank product, I will set up my own review type website or my own website to send traffic to that will send them to the clickbank product. On that sales page I will monetize it with many other things also. A lot of the time, the product that you are offering will have to do with something that will bring in some good clicks from adsense, and or bring some sales from Amazon.

To many times, I find websites that are set up for clickbank products that have one way to leave the website and that points to the clickbank product. If you give people every possible solution that they are looking for you have a higher chance in making money.

Finally, make sure that you are building a list when you are driving traffic. You can offer a simple newsletter, or something for free. "The money is in the list" is a great quote that people really should live by.

If you have a list of 1,000 people that you send a newsletter to, or have given a free product to, and you know what these people are looking for, you can always make more sales further on down the road.

Good Luck with what you are working on and as always if you need any help with anything let me know.
