Help, Clickbank experts! Why don't Clickbank products sell on my sites???

Hi Adam,

Nobody can possibly answer this reliably or accurately without seeing everything you're doing. (And even then it may not be a formality).

Reading your post quickly, the two things that "stick prominently in my mind" are (a) you don't mention list-building and establishing relationships with people (and you're not going to sell many ClickBank products without doing that), and (b) the one gravity figure you've given is 90, which would probably put me off promoting a product.

I'm wondering whether whether this recent post, and the two others linked to inside it might actually help you a little?

Making money from selling Clickbank products is, broadly, about three things:-

(i) You have to select products wisely (there are some suggested guidelines here): without getting this part right, it doesn't matter what else you do ;

(ii) You have to pre-sell effectively to well-targeted traffic;

(iii) You have to build a list and form relationships with the people on it, so that they'll buy on the strength of your recommendation.

These things aren't optional: you really do need to do all three of them, otherwise you're probably chasing 10% of the possible money and ignoring the other 90%.

There's a huge turnover of ClickBank affiliate marketers trying other ways and mostly not being too successful, but I think the above is pretty typical of those who make steady money from it.

Key concept: people generally buy ClickBank products because they trust someone's recommendation. They buy on the strength of your relationship with them, built through your website and your autoresponder emails to your list subscribers.

Thanks, both. Actually you have both helped me here more than you probably think.

Alexa, I've only recently begun list building - and in neither of the two niches I've mentioned. I'm beginning to see the need for list promotion for Clickbank products, especially, since they don't necessarily have the "built-in" credibility of, say, a product on Amazon - or the "no risk" element of simply clicking on an Adsense ad.

Devid, I'm absolutely willing to be patient - just trying to determine if the things I'm being patient DOING are the right ones. LOL Which is why I've recently decided to join the War Room and spend a LOT more time here on WF learning. In fact, I have had some recent luck (just in the beginning stages) with Adsense, and have thought about investigating other PPC opportunities.

The attraction of CB is obvious - the substantial commissions. But I also see that, as you say, developing a real plan and working that plan is critical.

And again, Alexa, one of the current online "gurus" that I've had the opportunity to correspond with a bit told me recently that list-building and email marketing, in his opinion, produces substantially better results than simply creating niche sites and promoting products there.

Thank you both again! Have a good weekend!

Best,
Adam

I've found the little bit of success I had with Clickbank was due to the quality of the traffic I was sending. So, yes, if they are pre-sold it makes a big difference.

The best and most accurate way to get results. Good marketing research. You must know the exact marketing funnel or marketing process that sales your product. You find that out by finding 5 to 10 Successful sites or companies that sell your exact product or service walk through each step of there process with a fine tooth comb and take notes or mind map it out. Then to make real money you must master Testing and Tracking. Test headlines, test images, test videos, test open paragraph etc. To find the right combinations that moves your product. You can use Google Analytic s Website Optimization. You can run split test and multi- variant testing. Know you market. And Solve A Problem They are having. That is the key.

Try swapping your existing affiliate id with a new one... See if you get sales

People suspect that CB products might be a scam. Thats why. i have already deleted CB products for my autoblogs and i like amazon, people trust it.

hi there adam

ur stats are too low.

50 hops is considered low.

the usual average conversion is 250 hops to 1 sales.

that is considered higher end of the average.

it can go up to 500 hops per sale.

so u got to send more traffic.

By the way, all - I am (painfully) aware that my traffic is still in the low range, at least for most of my sites. But cumulatively, over a period of weeks or months, there is enough traffic that EVEN at the conversion rates suggested here, I should have more sales than I do.

Truly, I'm not unrealistic about what is required or the work involved. Just trying to flatten my learning curve as much as I can.

Thank you ALL for you insights and suggestions! Truly appreciated!

Adam

Google is not going to let you link to a squeeze page. It has to be a page with good content.

In order to successfully sell a Clickbank product ...you need to be very very convincing that it will work for the buyer. I have a hard time selling Clickbank products as well ...I am now putting links from Shareasale on most of my websites to see how they do. I hope I have more luck making sales from Shareasale vendors compared to my luck with selling Clickbank products.

thanks for the large posts above as they are very informational

yes i agree with newbieee

your experiement is too small..

u gotta try more hops before you analyse the data.

You have received some great info. Let me tell you how I do it and I hope you can see the power of this. I take the CB site itself and convert it into a short page that will peek the visitor interest to want to see more. I make sure I put my optin box on the page to build my list. I then create thousands of keyword combinations that will lure visitors that are already searching for the product.

What I use is not spinner software, it's a thousand times better. With it I dictate the percentage of uniqueness from page to page to page. Now when that is done I use a software that I setup to create backlinks for the 2000 to 10,000+ pages. The backlinks are created by the time I set all the way to 3 months on up into the future.

This is how I dominate any niche. Keyword research pays a big role. I hope this helps.

theres a reason why clickbank has the nickname "crapbank"...nuff said, start promoting real products.

• Give them the price before they click the link.
  
• Make sure they know where there going. (click bank)
  
• Make sure they know the name of the program before they click.

This way, when they click you know that they know it's price and what the hell it is. Or don't.

This works with a entertainment product I use on a site that gets 300-400 uniques a day. The price is $39 but I've made two sales today just by getting all of the QUESTIONS they may have answered from the start.

But you simply might have a Click Bank product that does not convert.

Does anyone here have a suggestion on the best wso or ebook to buy for CB.
But i will check out Alexa,s suggestions and links in her post.

i would like to ask something i send the people to the seller page i dont write any website URL i simply say i suggest you to go visit this website.Now i can change my link and chose another product so people coming to my website are redirected to another website i change vendor(same line product offered by another vendor) if i dont like how things are going with one when do you suggest me to change the vendor ? example 160 hop count 38 ops per order 4 order form impression is it too early to say anything? at what

Saturation is the answer to your question. Develop your own product with a twist and sell it yourself. I had problems making money in the past with affiliate marketing and I decided to redesign my own product web sites and now I'm doing very well with it.

Well I'm a newbie - truly newbie - but from my 1.5 months of experience with CB (I have my own site and my own product which I'm not sure if I can add it here or not but here it is any way "WPSynonymizer: I have already sold a few - which is amazing considering I have just a tiny bit of organic Google traffic - absolutely no link building or referrers - and it still sells - and it's brand new product - so to me selling CB products do work.

P.S.
I also have 2 other affiliate products that are connected to my product on my page "WPSynonymizer" and while they do get hops - I haven't got a sale yet - so what does it mean to me? Create your own product !!!

Just by looking at the post I would say take a look into your pre-sell and try split testing different copy on your website. It could be something as small as a call to action or a headline who knows. But split test all the time.

You must have great products to sell, products so great that people can't live without them.... especially in hard times like we've had the past 7 years, with so many people out of work.

The question you should ask yourself is why would anyone want to purchase your product, when money is so hard to come by for the average family today?

I am not picking on you either...because this is a question I ask myself everytime I sell a product.
Another thing, numbers don't mean much, you can have 50,000 hits or 50 hits, but it all depends on if you have a product that some one so is desperate for, that no matter what, they'll buy from you....even if they had to save every penny from returnable bottles they found on the ground.

When you can find a product like this, that people have got to purchase, then you'll become an internet millionare

I enjoy weekly direct deposits from Clickbank.

I started this business the beginning of the year, with LIST-BUILDING. So, I totally agree that you need to continue to build your list and a relationship with your subscribers. If you match your promoted product with your target audience well, you will have a better chance at selling.

Put an offer on your thank you page after opt-in also.

Hope to help.

Clickbank is tough- like so many other people said, you really have to build a relationship with them.

Clickbank like any other products in IM, work on a variety of factors, the ad copy, the particular product you are promoting and your traffic, they simply may not be interested in that particular product

i have a quick question for you.im an affiliate can i change the product that i promote without redo my blog and my last post where i suggest the people with 4 links to go get a look at the vendor site?

Just wanted to thank everyone again for all the great info here! This forum is amazing. Just hope I will have the chance to give back when I'm in a position to do so.

Best of luck to you all!
Adam
