[NEW VENDER ON CB] Any Tips?

Without access to the vendor's ClickBank account, there isn't a way of knowing which are the "top converting products". That information isn't published. (Beware of third-party sites claiming spuriously to be able to "work out conversion rates" from their "secret proprietary algorithms": it's all nonsense - they have access to no information that you and I don't also have access to.)

(They're often not the ones you'd think they are, though ... especially if you try to judge it from the "gravity" figures!).

It doesn't matter what I like. It matters what my customers, subscribers and traffic like. They can't stand them, and they say so (unprompted) frequently. As a full-time affiliate, I'm unwilling to send any of my traffic to them at all, because they don't convert my traffic nearly as well as text sales pages. In every niche in which I'm involved. Other's people's mileage may vary (and probably does) - but I have broadly similar traffic demographics in all of my niches, because of the way I generate my traffic, and I know they like text and dislike video, and that's putting it mildly.

I would.

But don't expect any good affiliates to start promoting your product just because it's listed there.

You need to start by having proven conversions of targeted traffic before looking for affiliates.

Briefly, there are two big mistakes you need to avoid, in this context ...

(i) It's much easier to attract serious, pro-affiliates than it ever is to re-attract them if you've had them once and lost them, so what matters is knowing that you can retain them before you start promoting your affiliate opportunity to them. Even if you manage to attract the best affiliates in the world, if your sales page doesn't convert their targeted traffic, you'll lose them all and not be able to get them back. So you need to have that all fully tweaked and tested and proven before taking affiliates on board;

(ii) Be aware that 95%+ of the available ClickBank affiliates make very, very few sales, and there's a far smaller group of serious, pro-affiliates who make almost all the sales. Don't make the mistake of "trying to appeal to as many affiliates as possible" if doing so might involve losing some of the pro's you need. The aim is to make as many sales as possible, not to have as many affiliates as possible, and they're typically two very different things. Make sure that your product and sales page appeal to the pro's. (There are some suggested product-selection criteria for affiliates here: looking at it from your perspective, as a vendor, I think these are - broadly speaking - the kind of criteria you should probably want your product and its sales page to satisfy, to attract the most successful affiliates: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post2161932 )

And good luck!
