Are Any Affiliates Really Making Money?
In the last few months I've read tons of stuff, from many 'gurus' and forums etc, specifically related to clickbank. I've Analyzed lots of publishers, competitors ads and landing pages, how long the ads run for and variations etc. I've also set up a few campaigns of my own, with limited success.
So what I want to know is are there any affiliates REALLY earning decent money, or is all the money going to publishers, clickbank and the 'google money monster' (I recently read of a guru making $350,000 and his google costs were $200,000!)
Now I know it's still early days for me, and I don't have enough experience to judge, but it seems to me that maybe the majority of affiliates are making nothing.
Ok, as an example, if we look at the highest gravity clickbank product at present, FAP Turbo. We never get to know how many copies are sold, so how do we know it's really successful? We assume because it has a high gravity that it must be.
I've been monitoring the ads for it for a while, and it seems as one batch of affiliates give up on it another lot start promoting it, so there are always a lot of affiliates promoting it, so it looks very successful. But if theres a constant turnover of affiliates it might not be as successful as we are led to believe.
All gravity seems to mean is how much a product is being promoted, not how much it is being promoted constantly by the same affiliates, which would be much more useful information. All a product needs is some one in a high place give it a push and voila - up goes its gravity! Affiliate manipulation maybe?
Well, back to my examle, what we seem to have is lots of affiliates spending lots of money promoting FAP Turbo and maybe breaking even, then going on to try something else, to be replaced by others doing the same. Thanks to their efforts FAPTurbo get sales and a high gravity, and google gets a bunch of cash. Even if the FAP Turbo only gets one or two sales from each affiliate the rapid affiliate turnover provides a steady income.
So, back to my question: are there ANY clickbank affiliates out there making money for themselves!!
p.s. I don't need publishers telling me there affiliates sell xxx copies a week, I've already heard that one over & over
