Clickbank Expert question?

by alleycatnews
3 replies
Been with clickbank many years and have done well but Not sure I quite understand something......

I am looking in there marketplace for recurring payments products.


For a product example of daily market advantage

It shows avg $ per sale of $334
average rebill of $330.
commissions is 50%


My question is this......

What does that mean?

Does that mean on average 1 customer will be rebilled $330 and my commissions is 50% of that. (of course that is over many months etc.. I get that part)

And is that really accurate guide?


IE if I get 10 clients to product like this that means $330 is the average (some more some less) so each client is worth roughly $165?


Is that correct or am I missing something?

thanks for the feedback.

      So you are saying they charge $330 a month? That doesn't make sense. That has to be a running total or something as some are $1000 for average rebill and they only charge $97 or whatever a month

    Sorry, but this is just completely wrong: it's simply not the "average billed per month"!

    No; it certainly doesn't!

    Superficially, it means that every customer who has bought through an affiliate-link over recent months has earned an average total of $334 for the affiliate who referred him.

    And, of that $334, only about $4 was for the initial sale.

    (That's perhaps 50% of a $10 "trial", after ClickBank deductions, near enough ).

    So, $330 of that $334 was for rebills.

    For example, if the rebills are $97 per month, the affiliate's 50% commission on those rebills will be about $44 each time (after ClickBank deductions) and therefore the average number of months for which the customers are remaining subscribed would be about 7 - 8, in that example.

    No, it doesn't mean that at all.

    It means - superficially - that the affiliate's average share is $330, and the total the average customer pays (over the period) is a bit more than twice that - allowing for ClickBank deductions.

    Ah, good question - and that's the catch. No, it doesn't have to be accurate/relevant to you. For several reasons ...

    (i) If the price has changed during the period over which the figures were compiled, and especially if the price has changed very recently, it may not be accurate at all, and ...

    (ii) The fact that that's "the average" doesn't necessarily mean it will be your average, and ...

    (iii) If it's the average of a very small number of people, it can be pretty misleading anyway, because the sample-size isn't statistically significant, and ...

    (iv) There can possibly be "upsells" included in it, as well, which complicates things further, and ...

    (v) If it's a vendor with multiple products in his account, the figures may be more-or-less meaningless, with regard to the specific product you're looking at. This one is the "big complication". Some vendors do list multiple products within one account, provided they don't mind them sharing one Marketplace listing and one commission-rate, and from the prospective affiliate's perspective, that can make a real mess of the figures! :p

    ... so it's all a bit more complicated than it looks.

    You need to check the current prices for the product in which you're interested, anyway, and try to investigate the parts of the above that you can investigate.

    No ... looking at it superficially, each client is worth $334 to you, not $165.

    That's the good news.

    The bad news is that these things can be a little more complicated than they appear, for some/all of the reasons above!

    Well, yes ... but everyone does, because these things are often more complicated than they look!

    I may be wrong, but I suspect you're probably dealing with a "multiple product account", here. ClickBank does not make it easy for people to work this out! :p
